Cat Sitting Keswick

“Zarina was a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She cared for our kitten and sent some great updates and photos everyday.”

About: I brought home my German Shepherd, Philip, in 2020 and raised him from a puppy. We attended puppy classes and behaviour training with professional trainers, and I took an active role in learning and practising the training. My experience includes caring for cats at different life stages and handling a large dog. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and respect their individual personality. I currently have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet visits during the week and on weekends. Caring for my own cats is already part of my daily routine, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes and checking how they are doing. I plan visits around each pet’s usual routine and only accept bookings I can reliably commit to. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks and playtime. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any health concerns before the first visit. I let pets approach me at their own pace and never force interaction. I check that doors and gates are secure, keep dogs on a leash during walks and leave the home clean and tidy. I also send photos and updates, and contact the owner promptly if I notice anything unusual.

About: I have worked professionally with animals for over 6 years. I am currently an animal control officer with the City of Toronto. I have taken care of and rescued animals my entire adult life and absolutely love all species and breeds. I have baby sat behavioural dogs with great success. I have trained my dogs in agility and transformed our rescue Bernese mountain dog from a skiddish scared pup to an outgoing, happy, friendly dog. I love spending time with my dogs and making sure they are happy and healthy. I will take care and love your pet as they are my own. I will ensure their safety and needs are met and of course play time is had. I believe I would be a great candidate for yours and your pets needs and take any special requests, such as administering medicine. I am available during certain days to take care of your pet(s). I know my work schedule for the year so I am able to commit to certain days year round. At my clients home I will take care of their pet as they wish. If they have a specific routine we will stick to it such as walks & meals at a certain time. I will ensure a safe and healthy environment and have lots of enrichment.

About: **About Me – Animal Experience 🐶🐱** I am an animal lover who enjoys spending time with and caring for animals. I understand the importance of treating animals with kindness, patience, and respect. I am willing to learn about their individual needs and help provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I am responsible, caring, and passionate about animal welfare, and I would love the opportunity to gain more experience working with animals. I'm currently working full time that's 8 hours a day that's why I can only do Sat or Sun once a week only if possible. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, gentle playtime, and affection while respecting each cat's personality and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behaviour or health. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.

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

About: I have cared for pets from friends and family and have experience working with rescue dogs who needed extra patience, understanding, and care due to behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible and available to meet your needs! My weekends are usually free, and so are my mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced backyard, and a 2 year old prince, Atlas, who is an outdoor cat and can be of lovely company. I live on a quiet street and near lots of greenery and scenic pathways. Perfect for long enjoyable walks.

About: I was born into a home with pets. My parents, my grandparents, aunts and uncles, all had pets. It was the most normal thing in the world to have a dog or cat cuddle up to me while I played with my toys, watched movies, or did my homework. It was the best kind of life and I am honoured everyday to have lived in the presence of such amazing animals. I couldn’t imagine my life without a pet. Up until this past March, I had a cat named August. We would go everywhere together, on car rides, camping, even sometimes on walks. He would get excited to run, and probably irritated that he could outrun me, but mostly he loved the car. I had always wanted a dog, but I’m waiting until I own a house, for security and space. In the meantime, I melt into other people’s dogs. I love how excited they get to see me, the love they experience in me before they even know me is overwhelming, and it makes my heart melt. I once had a passenger tip me a large tip because her dog, who hates people, loved me. It makes me feel a little impatient to have one of my own but I’m not there yet. So, until then, I am looking to spend time with, caring, for other people’s dogs. I welcome the opportunity to be a part of a dog’s world, even if only briefly, and hopefully I melt into them as they do into me. I am an artist (singer/songwriter and writer of prose) and an Uber driver. My rates are what they are so I can take the time needed to spend with your pet, and focus far less attention on work. Tending to the care and attention of another’s animal would be an excellent inclusion into my artistic process. As an Uber driver, I can take the time off, so I can focus entirely on the fur baby in my care. We will go on walks, enjoy each other’s company, and eat according to their set schedule. I am flexible and willing to meet the special demands of your little one. I will ensure any physical aids your dog requires, from medications to physical supports, will be handled with the utmost care.
