About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

About: Since getting my first pet at the age of 4 years old, I have continuously been surrounded by all types, sizes, and breeds of pets in my family home. Over the past 10 years or so have accumulated experience in petsitting from young energetic puppies and kittens who need all day play to elderly dogs and cats who need daily medications and special routines around the clock. Its safe to say I have loved every experience I’ve had around these pets and I also want to note I am fortunate to have a connection to an on call vet tech that will be able to assist me if you or I have any questions regarding the health of your pet in my care. With my athletic background and energetic personality you can ensure that your animals will be consistently walked, played with, and well taken care of. :) Please note that although I do work, my schedule allows me to be very flexible so that I can ensure I maintain your pet as a priority! :) You can ensure that your pet will have my full attention to make sure they are safe and well taken care of while you’re away!
“Katherine was a great choice to watch our cat while away. She is kind and attentive to the animals needs. Was very thorough with sending pictures and keeping us updated while away! Definitely will book again!!”
About: Hi! You can call me Bee. I've been caring for animals since I was six years old, and by age nine I was fully responsible for my own dog. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and building trust with them has always come naturally to me. One of my neighbor's dogs even brought me his favorite toy the second time we met! I have hands-on experience with many kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, fancy rats(mice), hamsters, parrots, and other small animals. I also enjoy learning about animal enrichment and finding ways to keep indoor pets mentally stimulated, happy, and comfortable. I'm a Western University student based in London, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care. Whether your companion has paws, feathers, or a shell, I would love to be their new friend. Bee kind. Bee patient. Bee the best.🐝 I am a full-time student with a flexible schedule, especially during summer breaks. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and open to discussing scheduling to best fit your pet’s needs. I currently live with roommates, so I am unable to offer boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and adapt to each pet’s specific needs and routines. I am open to guidance and feedback, and I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care.
“So glad we booked with Erin ! Certainly made our vacation worry free with such a piece of mind knowing someone who lives close bye and cherishes pets ( cats and dogs) as much as we do , was checking in on our sometimes shy pets!”
“Lidiya was amazing! She took such great care of Aspen. I was very anxious leaving her as this was the first time i’ve ever been away from her, but Lidiya sent me so many photos and notes about her! She even went above and beyond and unloaded some groceries that got delivered while i was away. Will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for animals that require medication and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet like family, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior who needs extra patience. I always follow their routine and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m a student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention while following your pet’s regular routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout my stay.
“Walter was great for our puppy, easy to communicate with, followed instructions and sent great updates and pictures! I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to others!”
About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I have a fully fenced yard but also believe it's important taking dogs our for walks provided this suits the dogs temperament and the wishes of the owner. I adhere to the owners household and behavioral rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!

“Liandra took great care of our cat Pancake (3 years old) for 16 days over the holiday season. It was the first time we used Rover and we were very glad to have found her. Her daily updates were very informative with photos. It is obvious she cares for cats and that she made sure Pancake was safe and not too lonely while we were away. We would highly recommend Liandra for her calm demeanour and responsible attitude to other pet owners!”
