About: Hello! I have lived with dogs & cats numerous times over the years and miss being around them! I grew up with many small animals well loved including a tarantula, gold fish, frogs, budgies, and a cockatiel. I have owned two guinea pigs as an adult and absolutely spoiled them with a massive cage and toys, to make up for the one I had as a kid I didn't know how to take care of and have extensive knowledge with them. I also have experience watching bearded dragons, crested geckos, and other small animals. I love looking up information on different animals and breeds as I get to know them and further my knowledge. Thank you for considering me! I work part-time and attend school. Caring for animals is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy life and the personalities that all different animals offer. I am very cautious with plants, things left on the floor, food sensitives and any instructions and needs that the animal has to offer, and you request to feel reassured leaving your pet in my hands.

About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.

About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Graduated veterinary assistant with previous clinic experience caring for animals of all ages. I love looking after all kinds of animals and I’m always excited to learn about new pets so I can provide compassionate and reliable care! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, as I’m currently available during both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and quality care to your pets while prioritizing their needs and routines. While I’m unable to care for other pets in my own home due to having high anxiety dogs, I’m happy to provide care in yours. Whether you’re away on a trip or at work, I can stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks and medication administration if needed.

About: Growing up on a hobby farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, and never knowing life without a cat, I was taught from a young age how to be a compassionate and attentive caregiver. My parents were active in professional dog breeding and showing, which provided me with extensive experience around diverse breeds, from Akitas to Pomeranians. Over the past six years, I have gained a great deal of experience with specialized cat and dog care. My soul cat fell ill in 2020 and again this last spring, and I got him through both times, learning how to administer a wide variety of medications and how to care for a special needs cat. Since 2020 I have also dedicated myself to training a medical service dog for my daughter, gaining hands-on experience in obedience, agility, and specialized care. My lifelong passion for animals, combined with this deep-rooted knowledge of training and behavioral needs, makes me a reliable and trustworthy partner for your pet. Your pets health and safety will always be my first priority, and I am happy to offer 'Pro Tips' to support you and your family to enjoy your best possible lives with your furbaby(ies). I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and respect I would give to my own. For the last ten years I have worked remotely, running a children's party company. This allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere, on my own schedule. I will fit any work I need to do around your pet's schedule. I do have my own cat at home and have support with caring for him while I care for yours! I am detail oriented and will be happy to carefully follow your instructions, maintaining a routine your pet is accustomed to, in their home where they are most comfortable. I can stay at your home or I can make visits to your home to check in and provide care as often as you need (up to 3x/day). I am also happy to offer dog walking. Your pet's health, safety, and well- being is always my first concern. I will always show your loved ones the same care and compassion I show my own.

About: I have always loved dogs and any chance I could get to spend time with them I took. I helped my family walk their dogs whenever I could. Sometimes I would walk my neighbours samoyed. I rented a place for 2 years and would look after my landlady's dogs while she was on vacation, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and letting them out regularly for bathroom breaks. I also volunteered at my local SPCA while in school. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to go make sure your pups are let out for bathroom breaks and get the attention they deserve! I care for pets in their home by making sure I am familiar with the routine they are used to. I respect my clients home and make sure I am clear in expectations. I make sure that their pets are cared for in a way that exceeds expectations. I understand the stress of travelling and having to leave your pet behind, and I want to make sure that my clients do not have to worry one bit and can focus on their vacation!

About: I have two 8 y/o kitties named Nacho & Largo and a one y/o Cavapoo puppy named Enzo. I’ve had Nacho and Largo since they were kittens, and Enzo joined us last year. Beyond my own three, I’ve fostered several kittens and older cats over the past few years, so I’m used to adapting to different temperaments and needs. My husband & I take Enzo to the dog park most days, which means I’m reliable with walks and used to managing pets who have regular routines. Honestly, I’m doing this because I love having animal companions around! I’m looking for pets to walk with or just hang out and play. If that means a new friend for my crew or a regular buddy for adventures, I’m in. Can’t wait to meet your lovely one (or two, or three, or more lol)! I finish work around 3:30 PM, and are around most weekends. If you wish to have a dropping visit in the morning or in the middle of the day, that can be arranged as well. For drop-in visits at your home, I respect your cat’s space & routine. I don’t rearrange things or stay longer than needed unless your cat is clearly enjoying the interaction. I come in quietly, let them approach me on their terms, and focus on what you’ve told me they like (playtime, treats, just company). I always check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll text you updates if you want them, especially if I notice anything off. A cat not eating, acting unusually quiet, or anything that seems worth mentioning. I pay attention. With my own pets (8-year-olds, 1-year-old, and fosters), I’ve learned that consistency matters. Same person, same time, same approach. That builds trust with animals. I keep everything clean. Wash my hands between visits, don’t track mess in, and follow your specific instructions about what’s off-limits, handling, medication, etc. Your home is your cat’s territory. I treat it that way.

About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I've also cared for several pets of my own, so I'm used to feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and giving lots of love! I can adapt to each animals personality and requirements. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're well looked after! I am currently working part-time and will be starting an online course through TRU in September, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am able to easily work pet care into my daily/weekly routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!
