Pet Sitting Hawkesbury

About: I’m a professional dog groomer with 6 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m especially comfortable with nervous, shy, and sensitive pets, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m a part-time student, which gives me some flexibility to offer part-time pet care. I’ll do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I provide care in the pet’s home and always respect their space, routine, and boundaries. I have a reactive dog at home, so I don’t bring pets into my home. I’m mindful of my surroundings and always prioritize safety and comfort.

About: I have always had animals in my life. Growing up I would help our neighbour when she was away check in on her cat and spend time with her dog! I am currently working as an Early Childhood Educator. I love the adventures I have durning the day but I also enjoy coming home and spending time with my animals. I am free before or after work to go for walks or check in on your animals. I am free on weekends for overnight stays. I would also make sure the client is update on how the animal is doing. Your pets safety and trust are my top properties. When I sit for your dog, I ensure that they’re not only cared for but that they feel secure, happy, and at ease while you're away. Here's how I create a safe and trusting environment for every dog in my care: Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is carefully prepared to be a safe haven for your dog. I remove any hazards such as chemicals, small objects, and toxic plants that could pose a risk. All gates and doors are securely locked to prevent accidental escapes. Secured Outdoor Areas: If your dog enjoys time outside, I ensure that the yard is fenced and secure, with no gaps or potential escape routes. I supervise all outdoor activities to make sure your dog is safe and secure at all times. Emergency Preparedness: I have clear instructions for handling emergencies, including contact information for your vet, the nearest animal hospital, and your personal contact details, should anything unexpected arise. I stick to your dog’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Consistency helps minimize stress and makes your dog feel more at home in my care. Every dog is different. Some may need extra quiet time, while others thrive on play and activity. I respect their needs, ensuring that they feel secure and loved throughout the sitting experience.

About: Full-time petsitters, that are passionate about furry friends! We love to combine petcare with travel and have visited Leeds (UK), Halifax, Montreal, Brossard, St-Bruno, Quebec, Vancouver (Canada) Vermont, New Hampshire (USA) and Seville (Spain). We are so grateful for the opportunities that petsitting has opened up for us. Each petsit has ranged from a couple of days - 1 month at a time, with pets ranging from young to elderly dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and more. ~What we offer We now offer animal boarding in our apartment, with a quiet dog park down the road, or if you have a reactive dog we can rent a private field so that they can have some off-leash fun! Many of our regulars are rescues and reactive, so we have great techniques to calm your anxious pets whilst you are away. We have space for 2 dogs at a time in our apartment, please let us know if you would like your dog to be the only guest. We have experience administering medication, helping limited-mobility animals and supporting animals through end-of-life care. I am currently an online English teacher, with their own teaching academy, so I work remotely and love to give love and affection to animals whilst I work. If you have needy pets, we will be at home the majority of the time! Our apartment can have 2 animals at a time, we have a balcony and a quiet dog park a 3 min drive away. If your dog is reactive we can rent a private dog park if that would interest you.

About: Ayant grandi au sein d'un élevage de caniches, j'ai une solide expérience pratique à chaque étape de la vie du chien; des mises bas et de l'éducation des chiots jusqu'aux soins gériatriques et de fin de vie. Mon quotidien très actif me permet de proposer des dépenses physiques sur mesure (course, vélo, natation). Diplômée d'un baccalauréat en physiologie et biologie, j'allie cette expérience terrain à une vraie rigueur scientifique. J’assure le suivi d'éducation des chiots avec patience et consistance, tout comme l'administration rigoureuse de médicaments ou de soins spécifiques. Votre compagnon bénéficie d'un encadrement dynamique, expert et parfaitement sécurisé! Ce n’est pas une tâche que j'ajoute à mon horaire: j'ai déjà ma propre routine quotidienne bien établie depuis mon tout jeune âge. Que ce soit pour les promenades, la course à pied, les moments de jeu ou l'attention au quotidien, la prise en charge d'un animal est déjà pleinement intégrée à mon mode de vie. Accueillir ou visiter un nouvel animal s'insère donc naturellement dans un rythme que je maîtrise déjà parfaitement! À mon domicile, tout est aménagé pour offrir un environnement sécuritaire, stimulant et confortable. Je dispose d'une grande cour entièrement dédiée aux chiens, idéale pour les moments de jeu et de détente. Sur place, les chiens ont accès à un équipement complet : lits douillets, variété de jouets, enclos modulables (X-pens) et cages pour respecter le rythme de repos et la routine de chacun. Que ce soit pour la nuit ou pour la journée, votre compagnon bénéficie d'une attention constante et d'un espace totalement adapté à ses besoins. Lors des promenades, je m'adapte à l'énergie de votre chien (marche rythmée ou course à pied). Je peux utiliser mon propre matériel professionnel et sécuritaire (laisses adaptées) pour garantir des sorties agréables et sous contrôle. Lors des visites ou du gardonnage chez vous, je reproduis fidèlement la routine de votre animal pour ne pas le déstabiliser : alimentation à heure fixe, administration de médicaments si nécessaire, moments de jeu, pause besoins et affection. Je m'assure également de la sécurité des lieux et vous envoie des nouvelles détaillées à chaque passage.

“Florence was so good with Pancho! She asked questions about his routine, gave me really detailed updates after she left. She started to develop a nice relationship with him after just a few visits. Will definately keep contacting her for Pancho’s visits and walks. I know he is in great hands!”

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)
