“This is our second time to have Kristin visit our apartment fur baby cat while we are away. Kristin has been great working with us and communicating to us and keeping us informed on how things are going. We are planning her for our next trip too!”

About: I have been taken care of dogs since I was a baby and have had 9 puppers in my life time. My dog Beau is my companion who is full of life! Taking care of her includes administering her medication on a daily basis. I have trained Beau since she was a puppy, this includes simple commands such as sit or shake but also includes more complex training including “place” “heel” and other tricks! I also have experience with senior dogs who often require more care. I am a full time University Student with time during the day, evenings, and weekends to care for pets with all levels of needs. I often have breaks in classes that allows me time to care for animals during the day when most people are at work n I create a safe and comforting environment for all animals in my own home or theirs. I do my best to revolve my schedule around the animals daily routines to make the transition more seamless.
About: We’ve always been happiest with a dog in our home. With one of us working from home full-time, we’re able to give visiting dogs steady company throughout the day along with the walks, playtime, and routine they’re used to. After caring for our girl Nora for 17 wonderful years, my husband and I have lived through every stage of a dog’s life and still miss having that energy around. We already look after the pets of friends and family, and we’re excited to welcome a few more furry guests. We tailor each stay to your dog’s usual needs, whether that means long neighbourhood walks, extra exercise, or trips to the dog park. We’re big believers in keeping things consistent for the dogs we watch. If your pup has house rules, feeding schedules, training cues, or favourite spots to nap, we follow them closely so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. We reinforce the habits and boundaries you’ve already worked hard to build. Caring for our own dog through a few medical challenges taught us how to handle medications, mobility needs, and gentle support for older pets. If your dog needs special care or a bit of extra patience, we’re comfortable providing it. During the week, there is always someone at home, and weekends are usually spent together too. If your dog enjoys little outings, we’re happy to bring them along on pet-friendly errands or quiet park trips. If they prefer a slower pace, we’re just as happy to relax on the couch and keep things calm. We’re simply hoping to bring a bit of that tail-wagging joy back into our home and make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. My husband works from home and I work 20% at home and 80% in office. We are both off evenings and weekends. We have a 17 year old teenager as well who is eager to help out. When it comes to your dog’s safety and comfort, we’re your people. We treat every dog like they’re part of our family—so much so, we’d probably share our snacks with them if they gave us that “sad puppy eyes” look. Hopefully we would make them do a trick first. Our yard is fully fenced, which means no escape artist dogs on our watch! While we love giving dogs the run of the yard, we also recognise that some dogs need to have their own space. If your dog has a special bed, crate, mat that brings them comfort bring it. This ensures they have a place they can feel comfortable in. For success we know following usual routines make your pup feel comfortable and safe as possible. Basically, your dog will be treated like royalty… but with more belly rubs.
About: I've cared for a bunch of dogs through dog-sitting and have lived with, cared for, and become close to several dogs and cats. I've also done a lot of research regarding cats & dogs - but I'm very respectful of owners’ beliefs and instructions. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now because I'm self-employed with another business as well. I'm generally available 7 days a week, depending on my other work and plans. I can care for pets in my home or at your home. My home is clean, safe and has room for pets to play and relax. I have lots of toys for dogs and cats, and depending on the pet, we can also spend time in the yard or go for walks.
About: I've been a cat owner for most of my adult life and have also done cat sitting, dog walking/sitting for friends and family over the years. Starting at the end of August I'll be working part-time (4 days per week) and can do early morning visits/walks or late afternoon early evenings. I treat all my own and other's pets with lots of love. I generally prefer animals to people and most people would say I'm a natural with animals.

I work 1 day a week, so other than that all of my time is free and flexible to work around your schedule and your needs! I promise to take as good of care of your fur babies as I do of my own! I care for them in the comfort of your own home! So they don’t need to get used to a whole different environment. I do daily drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight pet sitting.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life both dogs and cats and love it so much. When I moved to the city I started fostering cats through the humane society and that has taught me many things especially with cats/kittens with medical needs or behaviour issues. I also have helped raise my dogs from puppies. I locally dog/cat sit consistently over the summer and have dealt with kittens, puppies, cats, dogs and seniors and love every single one of them. My priority is making sure your pet is happy and giving them lots of love! I am in school and work. I am able to always make time in mornings or after/in between school or work to see pets whenever possible. I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pet. If there is any medical or behaviour issues, I am comfortable doing whatever is needed. My goal is to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible.

About: My husband and I have owned dogs for the past 15 plus years together, and our families both owned them for many years growing up. While he would not attend your home with me, I like everyone to know that our entire house is Pet lovers. My soft spot is for seniors, and dogs with varying degrees of health related issues. The ones that nobody wants and the often misunderstood ones. I have cared for a variety of breeds with varrying degrees of health issues. I have extensive experience in administering medications, IV fluids, intramuscular injections, eye drops, nail trims, and more. I have had 2 blind dogs (one of which had both of her eyes removed due to glaucoma), so am very familiar with their sometimes unique challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with little to no hearing, as well as ones with various levels of behavioral challenges, such as resource/food guarding, stranger/leash aggression, and more. As the owner of Manitoba's ONLY small animal rescue charity, I also have a wealth of knowledge and experience with exotic and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! While I love a good puppy cuddle, my heart belongs to the older four (or less!) legged friends, and I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members. Thanks to some amazing clients and word of mouth referrals, I was recently able to quit my corporate job to do pet sitting full time! I am so incredibly greatful for this new schedule, which allows me to dedicate as much time aa possible to caring for your furry family members. I love the idea of coming to your home to care for your pets, as it allows them to continue to feel safe and in a familiar environment. Following their regular routine helps make any time away from mom and dad as stress free as possible. Pets are never left outside unattended, and if you don't have a completely fenced yard, they will always be on a secure leash for potty breaks. If spending overnights in your home, I welcome the pets to share a sleeping space, or crate them as requested. Even if I do things different with my own pets, I want to ensure all of your rules and routines are followed while you are away.

Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority! My goals are to try and disrupt routines the least when you’re away from your pet as well as send regular updates and photos!
