Dog Walking Essa

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and am super attentive to their every needs. I just love being around them so much and am known by friends and family as an over the top dog lover and owner in the best way possible! I am free most days and spend most of my days prioritizing being around dogs of some sort, be it going to dog sanctuaries or just taking care of my own dog :) I am not only attentive towards dogs and their wellbeing but I am also very attentive towards people’s belongings as I would want others to do the same. I am also very big on making sure the dog has comfort no matter what be it making sure they have their favourite toy with them or just being affectionate to them.

About: I had a giant schnauzer. For over 2.5 years he required hourly attention and care for many health issues. My experience has provided me with the knowledge and patience to care for pets of all size and with any mobility limitations. My home is set up with many beds, a large crate, and a fully fenced in backyard to care for your pet, 24/7 I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule where I mostly work from home. I am able to attend to your pets needs all day and night. I treat pets like family! I respect the rules and boundaries set by each pet owner and work hard to ensure that discipline, play time, and routines are not altered!

About: An enthusiastic dog lover and cat owner for all my life! I currently own one kitty, and am a dedicated foster home for our local cat shelter since 2016, where I have helped raise kittens from birth on multiple occasions. I am also responsible for the care and safety of a variety of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish at my current workplace of 3 years — not to mention all of the pet parents who come into the store with their dogs to visit with! I have so much love and expertise to go around for all felines, canines, and specialty pets! I work my other job on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and get involved occasionally with local volunteer work, but for the most part my schedule is quite open and flexible! If any interested clients prefer to contact me directly regarding availability, I do my best to be very timely in responding to messages. I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on. Though I don't currently board pets to my own home, I always like to ensure I know of every pet's needs in their own home, where their favourite treat is located or keeping their favourite napping spot nice and clean. I can adapt to almost any environment, and once you return it will be such a clean and happy space you might believe I was never there!

About: I have loved and taken care of animals since age 10 - when I welcomed my first bunny for my 10th birthday. Since then I have also taken care of hamsters, birds, dogs, and cats. I am an expert in providing an environment where they can be comfortable and profusely loved, but I do not forget firm discipline where necessary. I am fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting but I do require at least a 2-day notice. Additionally, I am available for walks and drop-ins all weekday evenings, anytime after 7 PM. At my client's home I have the best practices of pet- and property-handling honed down, which will keep both the client's pet(s) and property (as well as myself) safe and happy at all times. I trust that I will be provided with all the information I need to satisfy any expectations from my hosts during my visits. At my own home, I have two cats, but I have enough space and accommodations to keep my client's pet(s) separated and happy as necessary.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Proactive Communication: I love to send daily updates, including photos and videos of walks or meals. Pet Health Knowledge: I understands basic dog body language, recognizes signs of stress or illness, and has experience with pet first aid.

My backyard is fenced with plenty of gates to make sure that your dog will be safe at all times.

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

About: I have been working with animals since I was 14, I started as a kennel attendant in a veterinary clinic setting and have volunteered with many rescues and animal shelters since. Personally, I have fostered 13 dogs. Therefore, I have experience with a wide range of breeds behaviours and medical issues and not a whole lot phases me. I have experience with training and loose leash walking, as well as a variety of training tools like slip, leads, E collar, prong collar, harnesses, halties. etc. I am happy to tailor each dogs walk or drop in visit to their specific needs. I work a full-time hybrid job and my schedule changes week to week but I would be happy to communicate each week to figure out a schedule that works best for the dog. I have many years experience, taking care of clients dogs in their homes and will always leave your home as I found it, or even better.

“Mya is super reliable, caring, and thoughtful. My dog Midas absolutely looves her. He looks forward to walks with her and I feel secure knowing that he's in capable hands. I highly recommend. Thanks so much, Mya!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember, and I’ve turned that lifelong passion into my career. I graduated from the Veterinary Assistant program at Seneca College, which gave me hands-on training in animal care, health, and safety. For the past two years, I’ve also worked professionally as a Pet Care Specialist, gaining experience with a wide range of animals, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and can pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. My schedule is currently very open, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pet prefers relaxing at home, playing in a safe environment, or going out for walks, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe, enclosed space for supervised outdoor time, and I’m always happy to take dogs on walks as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
