Dog Sitting East York

About: We are proud members of Pet Sitters International and are independently registered, insured, bonded! 🎯 Attentive and focused, Jan and I provide 2-in-1 care for your furbabies all across Toronto! Including bunbuns/exotics in cat care, pups aren't the only ones that get love! If you want a seamless and low maintenance experience we can provide that but a meet-and-greet is always recommended! It not only allows the furbaby to become more familiar with us, it's also the best way to see if we're a great fit for your needs and if we think it'll be a perfect fit for us to provide the most reliably comfy care as can be. 💙 Is your pup shy or anxious? No worries, they will be in great hands and feel comfy along the way! (: Being a duo and full time your furbaby will always have a hooman companion at their side so they feel safe, secure, and loved. 💖 For our walking services we provide a live feed that includes activities such as fetch that was included in the walk. Pup parents can rest easy knowing that they're one click away from a quick peek at any time during the booking to see how the walk is going! 🦴 We also make treats! With a background in food sciences, experience in quality control facilities, and the passion for our furry best buddies, we wanted to provide a healthy reward for training or just for being the bestest! All natural, all tasty, and all the pups have loved it! If you'd like to see yours loving a new treat ask and we'll provide a sample baggy! All bookings that extend several days will have one included as a thank you gesture for choosing us- along with a surprise gift that you could potentially already spot on our profile! 🐕 Here are our pup specific experiences: 1. Taking care of pups since we were 12 2. 4 dog household (2 have now passed) 3. Parented medium and small dogs, cared for large breeds 4. Senior care (medication same time every morning, cleanup after incontinence, putting on belly bands/diapers, etc) 5. Blind and/or deaf dogs 6. Dog enrichment activities 7. Pomeranian with alopecia and hypoglycemia *For longer sits: if you wanted a very detailed daily schedule for monitoring we could provide that via sharing on Google sheets/docs. * 💉🩹📝 For intact and medicated pups: Jan and I are welcoming and accommodating to all lovely furbabies. We understand and are considerate of everyone's preferences or medical choices. That said we may add a small surcharge to help with the extra care that is sometimes required with intact or medicated pups. Additional care may include but is not limited to: • Extra cleaning from marking in the home • Extra diapers for females in heat • Tight timing or precise controlled medication regimens • Accommodating specific behavioural patterns 🗓️ Jan and I are a couple dedicated to being a full time care provider for you and your furbabies! We spend all day making sure your furbabies are cozy and comfy, while hopefully becoming one of their favourite humans too! 🌳🥎 We live near 3 different dog parks along with a parkette 1 minute from our home and Riverdale Park is just a 5 min skip away; we have plenty of choices for your best buddy to socialise! Whether that be sunrise or sunset, at our home or at yours, Jan and I are willing to go up to 10-15km away from homebase to make sure our service matches your needs! ⏰ Dedicated, available all day, and ready to check in on your furry loved ones to make sure they are safe and well cared for! We love the adorable furballs (: Accepting mid week or even multi week services if you require it. Jan and I are here to make sure your furbabies are well taken care of. If you need us to go far and/or long we can discuss how our care can service your needs. 📸 First and foremost there will never be 24, or even 12, hours of radio silence. Either one of us will periodically send cute or fun pictures and videos throughout the day— this is non-negotiable! Even if we are told it's not a big deal we just personally feel it's a necessity. We understand how it must feel to leave a beloved family member in the care of someone other than yourselves. This is why we believe communication and updates must be pillars in any pet sitter's philosophy so the pet parents can feel at ease about their furbabies! 🏡 Smoke-free home with no kids and fenced backyard in a quiet comfy townhouse complex! Here is what Jan and I can do if requested: 1. Feed your furry best buddy according to your directions 2. Change and wash up aallll the bowls 3. Walks and check-ins any time 4. Enrichment activities and playtime (tug of war, fetch, etc) 5. Clean up any accidents 6. Bathe your pups 7. Send you updates on any schedule you desire, and however you want it; photos, videos, audio and video calls! 8. Train commands (this will depend on the pet and we will work together to see how we can reach your goals!) 9. An absolute, seemingly endless, mountain of affection and attention to any and all pets!

“I hired Alexandra to watch my two cats while away on vacation. She quickly put my mind at ease with her detailed descriptions of her two daily visits. Alexandra took the time to tell me how both cats were feeling/ acting and what exactly she did with them. She was always puntual and sometimes spent extra time with them. My cats are my little family and it was so nice to not have to worry about them and just relax and enjoy my time away. Alexandra is a lovely, caring and responsible person. I will not hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for just about half my life, since I was 15 years old! I still care for my senior dog and have learnt so much as we’ve grown together over the years. She is still strong and energetic, and will be around for a long time to keep your pups company during their stays! I have also had experience sitting for others. I have experience with dogs at different age-stages, experience administering medication, caring for a sick pup, and senior care. I work part-time from home, so will be able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your fur baby! I am also a home-body, so can provide continuous care with little-to-no time away. I have a small 15-year old fur baby myself, who will probably provide more fun company than I can! She is still playful in her seniority, and grew up with a sibling who kept her on her toes for most of her life. She will be a wonderful playmate for your small doggos. Our neighbourhood is safe, relatively quiet, and near a park. I am very vigilant while on walks and in parks, so safety is always a priority.

“My cats are the type who hide for anyone they don't know but Charlotte was able to find them and send us photos to reassure us that they were doing well!”

Naomi K.

“Katelyn was a great communicator, and very patient and flexible about my weird schedule. Ham looked like she had a lot of fun during the drop in!”

Catherine B.

“Stacey took excellent care of our two cats and dealt appropriately with their various shenanigans. She also shared lots of photos and is great at communicating updates. 10/10 sitter!”

Annie J.

“Hailey is super attentive with the pets and very easy to communicate with. She sends photos and detailed descriptions of walks, food and their behaviour each day. It’s the second time we book with her and our pets are comfortable and at ease. Highly recommended and we will continue to book Hailey’s help whenever needed. Thanks again Hailey!”

About: My golden doodle loves to meet new friends and will get along well with your dog. I am experienced training dogs to listen well and do tricks. I am available on short notice for dog walking or boarding. I can work around your schedule and be ready to care for your dog when you need me. I always make sure dogs are comfortable and happy. My fenced backyard is a good spot for dogs to play outside. I’m also nearby bigger parks for longer walks or runs. I go on big dog walks almost everyday, around noon. I am able to take dogs to the park at other times during the day as well. My fenced backyard makes it convenient for dogs to go outside several times throughout the day. I am also located near great parks for fetch and runs.

About: As a long time pet parent, I understand that caring for each dog is unique and personalized to their specific needs. To give you the best service, I will respect your pet parenting style when your pup is under my care. I’m an attentive and patient person you can count on with a growing interest in dog training and behaviour. My husband Richard and I work as a team to make sure your pup gets 1:1 play, walks and belly rubs :) Looking for someone experienced in caring for senior pups with medical needs? I’d be happy to help! My dog Cody is a 8 year old chihuahua-mix. He’s quiet, sweet, and an all around good boy. Cody is a rescue and has come a long way through consistent training. As a matter of fact, we use Rover as a tool to help him socialize with other dogs. With the experience I’ve gained from being a parent to a rescue, I approach all dogs with the same level of awareness and mindset. Walk me through your pup’s typical schedule and we’ll adapt. Expect regular walks during the day as part of our daily routine. On weekends, we’ll spend more time outside if weather permits and will only visit off leash parks with your permission. Safety is my top priority. I ask for your full transparency on your dog’s behaviour (reactivity to triggers) to allow me to prepare. On walks, we won’t enter off leash areas unless you give us permission and we’ll certainly not go off leash in open areas. Your pup will be treated the same way I expect my Cody to be treated! You can look forward to transparent daily updates and observations with photos and videos.

“Debra is great !!”

“Alicia looked after my two cats for two weeks, and it was their first time ever with a sitter. Communication was quick and easy, and pictures and updates were given every day. I felt very confident that they were being well cared for and given lots of attention. I would definitely book her to look after my kitties again.”

Renee P.

“We are just back from our trip, and our cats clearly had a great time with Mariana and Fernanda! Their visits included fantastic photos and videos (some of the best-ever pics of them!), and their comments after each visit made us laugh - we could tell they were picking up on the quirks of each of their personalities. Also, there was no stress because it was evident that Mari and Fernanda were keeping the cats healthy and entertained while we were gone. We will absolutely call them in again next time. Thank you both!!”

About: We have lots of experience with babysitting our friends dogs (sometimes for 1 week+) and before we get our own we wanted to try out Rover! My husband had a dog growing up and I am very responsible so if you want a type A girlie watching your pup or cat - I’m the one! My schedule is very flexible and so is my husbands. We would work home most days with flexible work schedules and weekends free. Always willing to move schedules around to watch your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard, small but lots of parks nearby so we would mostly be taking your pup for walks! Very safe neighbourhood in Woodbine Gardens. House is already cat and dog proof. Our kitty will be at grandmas while we board your fur baby :)

About: I've taken care of my senior dog alone for the past 5 years. Unfortunately she has passed recently, I've also dog sat multiple of my friends and families dogs/cats. I'm good with puppies, middle aged dogs, and seniors. Currently very available, I am looking for part time work but want to focus on pet care. Available weekdays and weekends. During the day is better for me:) I live in an a basement suite currently, so preferably pet sitting at clients home where the pet will be more comfortable. I always do my best to make sure they feel safe and secure.

About: Since a kid I’ve had many pets in my life, they have a special place in my heart. I have over 10 years of personal pet ownership, and currently have a 2 cats. I have over 4 years of experience fostering complex medical needs from puppies, older dogs and kittens. I’ve fostered complex medical care animals for over 7 years. From bottle feeding new born kittens, to a palliative care dog to a blind bearded dragon! I’m comfortable with young, full of energy puppies/kitten to a senior who just wants to snooze. I’m experienced with medically complex pets who need some extra TLC, medication, and patience. I also have experience handling small mammals, birds and reptiles so exotics are also welcomed 😊 I am quite flexible! I can adjust for early mornings, late at night or somewhere in between. I am happy to provide a one time service or something ongoing. Your pet will be my centre, and I ensure that whatever routine they need will be followed to keep anxiety low and comfort high. If they need a bit of decompression, I’ll keep my eye on them but leave space. If they need to be Velcroed to me, I’ll be clinging next to them. I want their experience with me to best match what they are use to. I’m comfortable adjusting approaches as needed and think flexibly in my care is key! I want to work with you to ensure your pet builds trust with me as well as you.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals—I’ve grown up raising both cats and dogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I also have over a year of customer service experience, including time spent working at a pet store, where I learned even more about animal care, behavior, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m fully available to care for and play with your pets any day of the week, at any time, including evenings, mornings, and on weekends! I take pet care seriously and always prioritize safety. I’m attentive, gentle, and follow any instructions given. I am also comfortable with crating if needed.
