Cat Sitting Harper Corners

About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.

“Sheila is lovely. Very calm and gentle. We are so thankful that Sheila was okay with giving Daisy her medicines and her sub -Q fluids since not everyone would be comfortable with that. We haven’t been on vacation for 5 years and it was great to get pictures & updates to help us feel comfortable about Daisy’s wellbeing”

“This is the first time I have had Shelia watch my cat Rascal and I would definitely have her watch him again. She is so kind and she took the time to play with him as well. I had piece of mind knowing he would be taken care of while I was away. If you live in Burlington or surrounding areas, message Shelia and you will be glad you did.”

“Julia took care of our three cats and they love her. She recognizes their individual needs and spoils them. We are so happy we found Julia and will ask her to pet sit again in the near future. 10 out of five at least.”

“Kaeley, was beyond and above my expectations, my very scared cat Max, was comfortable with her, which is the main concern of mine. I was quite pleased with her communication and pictures she sent me. She is very clean, quiet and respects your home...I highly recommend her..and would book her again ..”

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.

“Vivian was very nice and welcoming. Quinn was looked after and she seems happy. Daily updates and photos were quite helpful. Will rebook when needed for sure. Thank you”

About: I’m a passionate animal lover. I enjoy walking, hiking, and spending time with dogs of all sizes. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm offering boarding and dog walking services within the Hamilton area. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I'd be excited to welcome pet sitting and dog walking into my weekly routine and provide other pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I'd want for my own. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I prioritize their safety, comfort, exercise, and well-being while following the owner’s instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment.

About: I have both professional and personal experience working with dogs and cats! I’ve worked in doggy daycares since I was 15 while also caring for family and neighbourhood cats. Additionally, I’m a Veterinary Assistant student that’s received a fear-free certification along with CPR/first aid training. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them! At the moment, I work part-time at a nearby doggy daycare but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of any future clients I always ensure I’m creating a safe environment for the dogs in my care, if we’re walking or at home. On walks I’ll always survey the area and watch your dogs body language to check for any anxiousness and handle all situations with a calm and collected demeanour.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

“Absolutely love our experience each time Victoria hangs out with our little pup while on vacay! He’s taken such good care of and we don’t have to worry one bit 🥹🥰 thank you!!”

About: What sets me apart from the rest other sitters is that I have experience with dogs that have high energy as well as low energy. Some of them need to get their exercises as early as dawn, and I am able to keep up with them. I have experience in walking, feeding and bathing dogs. I am currently working during the month of July and my schedule fluctuates a lot, so it would be best to get in contact with me for the month of July. In august however I am available pretty much available every day of the month. While taking care of other peoples pets it’s very important to make sure that the house is as the owner has left it. Cleaning up after the animal and feeding it is an obvious necessity, as well as showering it with affection and providing it with any exercise that he/ she needs :)

About: I am a caring responsible pet lover, I will enjoy & treat your pet like it was my own :) I can offer cuddles, love, and kindness. I look forward to meeting you & your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule, I can work from home if needed. Often I am in and out of the house. Family is mostly out during the day time - quiet environment. No young children home I am your local neighbour (Live & work in Ancaster) and can offer you safety and security of your home and your beautiful fur-babies. I will care for them like my own children :)

About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.

“Danielle does a great job with our fur monster, she leaves the house perfectly in order. Is great with communication and photos. We have had her a couple of times now and will gladly have her again. She is very trustworthy and has a delightful personality.”

About: My name is Karolina and I have been training dogs and horses for over 25 years of my life. A born animal lover and empath Ive kept animals off my plate since I was 7 years old, adopting a vegan lifestyle over 10 years ago. I've rescued and rehabilitated all sorts of animals in my lifetime and I will continue to commit myself to animal welfare and quality of life for the rest of my life. Animals are my purpose and educating pet parents on animal care and communication is my mission. I will always be the appropriate environment your pet needs. As a dog and horse trainer, my entire life revolves around animals and their needs, both physically and mentally. My days are dictated by the animals I have in my care that day My home is clean, tidy and doggy proofed. Fenced yard, my home is fully accessible including furniture, but can also provide structure "place" or crate time if required. Up to 4 walks a day. Water dish is always out and filled up with filtered water. Heat and humidifier is always on in the winter, A/C in the summer. As a skilled trainer I can reinforce implemented training and structure

About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!

“Paerhati was superrr amazing! From start to finish all interactions were easy and consistent. She was able to watch my cat for 5 nights last minute and sent me daily updates. You can tell she loves animals and she’s very friendly! I’m very careful with who I leave my cat with and she’s been the best so far. I appreciate her having a spare room for him to get accustomed to her house slowly and she keeps her home very clean and organized which I also appreciate when leaving him with someone. HIGHLYYY recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
