About: Hey there! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with 8 years of caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I absolutely love animals and am spending my summer doing what I enjoy most—hanging out with furry friends—before I go back to teacher’s college in the fall. I offer drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays in your home. Happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit for your pet! I'm available full-time throughout the summer for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home. I can’t host pets in my home, but I’m happy to come to you to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own space. Whether you need someone to stop by for feeding and playtime or a reliable overnight sitter while you're away, I’ve got you covered. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.
“This will be the 2nd time we have Mary drop-in to watch our fur babies and we are very pleased with her service. Our cats felt safe and were in good spirits when we returned. Mary asked insightful questions to get to know our cats better and was punctual for every visit. We couldn't be happier and will definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I've had pets my whole life and connecting with animals comes naturally to me. In high school, I had the opportunity to work at a pet boarding facility where I gained experience working with dogs and cats of all demeanours. I treat every pet like they're my own - with lots of cuddles, love and play! As a supply teacher, my schedule is flexible and I often finish work early in the afternoon. I love spending my extra time caring for animals and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. It’s a fulfilling way to unwind after school and give pets the attention they deserve. Being a pet parent myself, I know how important routine is for animals. I follow feeding, walk, and play schedules closely and give lots of love and attention and love to help them feel safe while you're away. I respect your space and keep everything clean and tidy, just like you left it.
About: I’m naturally calm, patient, and very detail-oriented, which makes a big difference for both pets and their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether that’s a playful puppy needing structure or a senior pet needing a slower, more gentle pace. I’m comfortable giving medications when needed and I make sure everything stays clean, organized, and stress-free. Because I run my own cleaning business, being trusted in people’s homes is something I take seriously. Pet care fits in really well with my routine. I’m self-employed as a cleaner, so I have flexibility in my schedule and can plan visits in the mornings, between clients during the day, and in the evenings. I’m used to being organized and on time, so I make sure each pet gets consistent, unrushed care. I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking closely to their usual routine. I take care of feeding, walks, litter cleaning, and any special instructions, and I always make sure their space stays clean and stress-free. I adjust to each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or more independent—and make sure they get the right balance of attention and calm. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly.
About: I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for animals with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special care instructions, and providing gentle bathing and grooming support when needed. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs (including pitbulls and bully breeds) and I’m confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for cats of all personalities, including both long- and short-haired breeds, ensuring they’re comfortable, calm, and well cared for. In addition to my hands-on pet care experience, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter, where I supported daily care routines and learned how to approach animals with patience, empathy, and respect. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m experienced in building and maintaining consistent pet care routines shaped by both pet ownership and volunteer experience. I understand how important structure, familiarity, and timing are for pets, especially those who thrive on routine or require extra care. I’m available for early morning, evening, and late-night services, as well as full-day care on weekends. I’m able to commit to daily or multiple-times-per-day walks or check-ins, and I’m reliable with scheduling, feeding times, medication routines, and exercise needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and secure, and pet parents have complete peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to minimize stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration, litter or waste cleanup, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive attentive care, exercise, and companionship while keeping their space clean and secure. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and communicate updates to pet owners for peace of mind. My priority is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
