House Sitting Erin

About: Hello! My name is gurman and I am a veterinary technician student who aspires to serve the animals of her community for the rest of her life! I have been walking dogs in the neighborhood for my family and friends for over 8 years, and have finally decided to turn this into an official venture! I live on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, and I know how important physical and mental stimulation is for our fur babies! I would love to give your animals love and be able to make their and their owners lives a little easier! I am currently taking a semester off from school, so until december I am at your service! I am available all times of the day to come to you, and will work around your hours! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

“Paige stayed over and watched my dog while i was away for a night. She was great! Easy to communicate with, tidy, and knowledgeable about dogs. Would recommend her, and have her watch Lolli again.”

“My partner and I went away to France for a week and a half. Robyn stayed in our home to take care of our dog Hugo. She was absolutely amazing! Communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. She gave us daily updates with photos and made sure our guy received lots of love and attention. She respected the instructions we had left and went above and beyond by tidying our place before we got home. We will certainly use her services again, and we highly recommend her!”

“My last sitter left Copper in the middle of the night because they felt Copper was being difficult. I contacted Moody while I was in US, and his prompt reply saved my entire trip. He took Copper for multiple walks, and was really good in communication. Thank you Moody!”

About: I have had formal training with the both the Kitchener SPCA as a dog care attendant and Paws it Forward foster agency as a foster parent for numerous dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop my skills as a pet sitter and ensure that I am properly taking care of your animals as per industry standards. Additionally, having both a cat and a special needs dog gives me the understanding of the responsibility of looking after another persons pet. As a care provider I am kind, energetic and attentive. If I seem like the right fit don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m able to take breaks to check in on them, provide meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can also be flexible with timing and adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is looking for a walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in house, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds my whole life, and have a very deep resonance with cats especially. I’ve had one in every house I’ve ever lived. As this was natural to me, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many cats and homes over the years, sometimes for extended stays. So far, there isn’t a cat I haven’t been able to befriend or at least find harmonious ground. I’m very confident in my ability to take care of these wonderful pets. Though I’m specialized in taking care of cats, my care has been extended towards all animals, and so I have a naturally affinity to caring for any pet. This includes both birds and dogs. I’ve always been able to get along with dogs just as much as cats. In the past few years I’ve had even more opportunity to care for them in my home when their owner leaves. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, and attending to any other instructions. I’ve also assisted in caring for a dog and a home in the past year. This experience has been for both seasoned dogs and puppies, and I love the unique personalities of each. I’m confident in working with small to medium type dogs, though I love the large ones too! I would also love to continue gaining experience with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently student online working towards a diploma, and I’ve left my schedule very flexible to be available to care for the pets of others! Any time of the week will do, when not taking care of other bookings, and I can make myself available. Currently living with a beautiful black cat named cricket, who loves to stop for attention in the hallways and get chin scratches in the Kitchen. As for the home of others, I do my best to bring my utmost respect to the home and attention to instructions, giving proper play time, affection, special care to walking for the unique needs of each dog, and feeding schedules amongst other roles. I take pride into maintaining the safety and standard of the home when in care or it.

“Stephanie did a great job of looking after our fur babies Kona and Sapporo. They were both happy and comfortable with her. She quickly recognized that Kona's chronic respiratory problem was flaring up and got him to the vet quickly for treatment and was able to give him insulin injections twice a day. We definitely recommend her especially if you have pets with special needs.”

“I cannot see how much I appreciated having Emma with my boys. She gave me so much peace of mind as I have never left them with anyone other than family. My little old guy who is 16 years old and fragile was treated like gold and absolutely loved Emma, which was evident from the pictures and feedback I got all weekend long.from My little anxious one loved Emma as soon as she walked in. There’s just something about her that dogs love. Thank you so much Emma, I was able to get away with peace of mind”

“This was my first time booking Jessica to house-sit and take care of my dog while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals—my dog absolutely loved her and even missed her after she left! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, healthy pup. I would definitely recommend Jessica!”

About: For five years, my mom and I traveled the world through pet-sitting, which gave us the opportunity to see so many beautiful places and care for so many wonderful cats and dogs along the way. From playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, every pet had their own personality, routines, and little quirks. Now, being a bit more settled, I'm looking forward to continuing something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed: helping pet owners and getting to spend time with wonderful animals locally. I’d say my biggest strength is my ability to follow instructions and routines. I know that every pet has their own way of doing things, and I’m very happy to follow their usual schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, or medications. I’m dependable when it comes to sticking to the details, so you can feel confident that things will carry on as normal while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily make your pet’s routine fit into mine. I’m big on following directions and keeping things as consistent as possible, so I’ll stick closely to what you’ve asked me to do. Whether it’s walks, meals, medications, or anything else, I won’t introduce anything new or unexpected. My goal is simply to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for family and friends' dogs for about 6 years, from small pups to large dogs with all kinds of personalities. I am a recent nursing school graduate looking for work so I have a lot of flexibility at the moment. I'm also helping train my uncle's 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, which has definitely been a challenge but has taught me a lot about dog behaviour, patience, and consistency. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog like they're one of my own! I'm a very active person who loves getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, whether that's neighbourhood walks, hikes, or adventures through local trails and forests. I recently graduated from nursing school and am currently looking for work, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time for multiple walks a day, drop-in visits, or overnight dog sitting. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you're away! As a pet parent myself, I know how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pets. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible and always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :)

About: Hi, I’m Jaida! If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I love animals and am happiest when I’m around them. I currently work part-time as a dog groomer and previously worked at a dog daycare, where I spent my days supervising, training, and caring for dogs. Those jobs have given me experience working with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and helped me become comfortable handling different behaviours and situations. I also have two large dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’m currently an undergraduate student hoping to build a career working in veterinary medicine. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing or would rather relax beside someone, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them comfortable. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can often make time for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for them. I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow it closely, from feeding schedules to walks and any special instructions you may have. I know being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re gone. My experience in grooming and daycare has taught me how to read dog body language and recognize when a dog is excited, nervous, tired, or needs space. I’ll always pay attention to how your pet is feeling and adjust my approach to what works best for them. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and leave everything the way I found it. I know pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, whether that’s during a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an extended stay.

About: I am passionate about pups!! I've been a dog owner, and caregiver since I was a child. I know the importance of play time, long walks, and giving them attention. My work enables me to be home most of the time, so your dog will be in good company! I live right by cedarvale park, with easy access to long beautiful walks in nature, and calm quiet residential streets. I care for up to 2 dogs at a time, so your pup will get plenty of love and focus. I'll give updates on how the visit is going if you choose - I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind while you're on a trip, or even just at work for the full day. Right now, I am available for boarding bookings, daycare, and short term housesitting in the downtown area. I work from home so I am able to give my attention to the dogs all day. They are always in-sight and receive lots of love and play throughout their stay! Daycare clients will receive 3 walks minimum and boarding clients will receive additional walks at wake up and bedtime. I am able to accommodate flexible drop-off and pick-up times. I have a great space to accommodate any zoomies, helpful for monitored playtime. I take up to two dogs at a time so your pup will always be well looked after. When another dog is in the home, we introduce the dogs to each other outside on leash to ensure a safe and amicable introduction! I find this is a great way for the dogs to make friends! I have experience working with socially anxious pups.

About: I adore pets. They make me happy to care for and make sure theyre well taken care of and happy. They will always be loved and adored in my care I work 7 to 3 pm so after that (or before if im house sitting) is all for the pets. Walks in the korning and plenty at night or playing with cats if theyre awake. I go by how the homeowner or owner has told me. I never stray away from instructions as theres a reason those are there. Im very observant and listen to every detail, and I make my own notes
