About: Hi there! I’m Ekene (feel free to call me Kenny!) 😊 I’m a medical student in Kingston who loves pets! I’ve done a lot of pet-sitting for friends for both their puppies and kittens over the years. The youngest I’ve pet-sat was an 8-week old kitten! Going on walks is one of my favourite activities to pass time, and I’d love to have some furry friends join me. More than happy to just run around and play catch too 🎾 I’m a 2nd year medical student right now, and my schedule/days have pretty consistent hours. After my classes or hospital/clinic work wrap up in the mornings and early afternoons, I’ll be free for walks on most evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. On days when my school programming wraps up around noon, I’ll be free even earlier for afternoon walks! I would love to set up a meet & greet with your pet before we start walks or visits, so that we can get to know each other and establish trust first & foremost. I want every pet to feel comfortable!
About: I will give lots of love and attention to any dog I have, whether we are playing, running, walking, resting in the shade, or soaking up the sun. As a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I am fully open on weekends and have adaptable hours during the week, allowing me to easily fit dog walking and pet care into my daily routine whenever you need me. I bring a high level of patience, sensitivity, and attentiveness to pet care. When sitting or walking, I ensure your pet stays active, well-hydrated, and loved. I strictly follow your home rules, keeping a clean, safe environment, maintaining their exact feeding and potty schedules, and focusing entirely on your pet's comfort and well-being
“Terra-Lee helped us out with a very last minute dog walk request! When my dog was being shy and resistant, Terra-Lee went above and beyond and spent an hour building rapport with her and was able to get her out on a walk. Thanks so much!!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a young kid, from puppies to seniors! I love all animals and I have experience watching my friends cats, horses, chickens, and fish. I’m a Queen’s student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time in the day to make sure your pets get what they need. My pets have always been part of the family, and I will treat yours with the same love and respect! Always willing to listen to owner questions and concerns.
About: I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, and physical differences. I am comfortable providing oral medications by syringe or pills. Previously I have cared for pets who are deaf, blind, or have high levels of anxiety. I am willing to work with & understand their temperaments and personalities. My experience with caring for pets comes from owning my own pets, pet-sitting for friends, and assisting with pet care when I babysat for families. I’m currently working Part time & looking to supplement my work with pet care! I am available during the day for drops in or walks! I am available for short daily walks, longer weekly walks, playtime sessions with your active pup, etc. I am also happy to drop in to spend some quality time with your pet, give them some top up on water/food, and let them do their business!
“Sadie has been a life saver!!! She is super punctual and responsive and our pup loves her. She has administered eye drops and made us feel very reassured. Super grateful to have Sadie there to take Murphy out during the day when we’re not home.”
“Vanessa was so great! She tracked how many pee’s my little gremlin took (she marks her territory) and she brought in two of my packages for me which is so nice. Thank you so much Vanessa! Will definitely be contacting you again”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I was very pleased to discover and book a walk with Sophy. She was very communicative and took the most adorable photos of our boy. Thank you, Sophy!”
About: Grown up taking care of my two Cavalier's for 13 years. Have experience with senior dogs and as they say "No home decor is complete without dog hair!" Back at Queen's University for school. I am available for early morning walks or runs from 8 am - 3pm and boarding most weekday nights. I have time to take the dog outside as much as possible and provide LOTS of water. I am located near a park for many furry adventures and near the pier for nice boardwalk mornings together! I have a clean and safe house with lots of room to lounge inside.
“This was the first time Courtney walked Findlay, and I was impressed with how quickly she got back to me, and the communication that came later. She was prompt and Fin took to her right away. I will definitely reach out again.”
About: Kingston pet care sitting service for 2 years Dog owner for 20 years Dog sledder with 8-14 huskies per line Love animals, kind and loyal Friendly, calm and happily to take care of your pets. I love animals and enjoy being around dogs, birds and cats. Happy to answer any questions and to learn all about your fur babies! Calm, friendly personality trained in pet sitting with a gentle demeanour and knowledgeable of commands. Understanding of direction from owner. Friendly and professional with owners and pet.
About: I have loved and worked with animals for over 10 years and am passionate about helping animals find safe, loving homes. As a foster parent with the Kingston Humane Society, I have helped care for and place many cats into their forever homes. I have experience working with cats with specific medical and behavioural needs, including overweight cats, senior cats, and cats recovering from dental procedures and surgeries. I have also worked with local humane societies to help raise funds for spay and neuter programs and have worked to support adoption efforts within the community! I have all a cat would need at my place! All you need to do is bring your kitty. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, or quiet alone time depending on their needs and personality. I always try to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With cats especially, I usually let them come to me first instead of forcing interaction since every cat is different. If they want attention and cuddles, I’m happy to give them lots of love, but if they’d rather have their own space, that’s totally okay too. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible and make sure they have a calm, clean, and low-stress environment. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a lot of shy, senior, and special-needs cats, so I’ve learned how important patience and trust are when caring for animals.
About: I am currently in a residency program here in Kelowna so I will be here for the following academic year!! I also have a cat of my own! I have always loved animals and look forward to helping take care of yours!! I typically work 8-5pm most weekdays with weekends off! Evenings are open for drop ins, walks, etc! Based on my rotations, I might be more available through the day, but inquire with dates and can provide more specific details! I have 1 cat of my own! As you understand, our furry friends/best friends need lots of love, attention to details (aka water bowel filled) and nice weather! My cat is an indoor cat during the year, so I like to open the window for her to get fresh air. During the summer, we take her outside to explore. I grew up with a large dog (golden retriever) who was super lovable and friendly.
“Myriam is a very reliable, punctual, kind and caring person who loves our pups and ensures they get some valuable time outside for a break and exercise while we work long hours away from home. We love and appreciate having her help us help our dogs who we care deeply for and it is nice to have someone who feels the same. Thank you Myriam! We look forward to continuing scheduled walks for our dogs with your support!”
About: I have a beautiful, five year-old Jack, Russell and golden lab mix whom I love with all my heart but while I’m doing school, I am away from her so I’m happy to provide all the love and attention to your pets I would to my baby! I work a part time job but it can absolutely be worked around with proper notice! I am willing to do one time or regular walks. I have a fenced backyard as well as a nearby dog park and family park to make sure your pet is stimulated and tired from a day of fun and play!

Peter took care of Sky my dog who is 5 years old Mixed German shepherd while I was away. On spot when Sky met Peter he liked him, and usually I go with what my dog tells me 😅 I was away for 15 days and Peter was always on schedule, made sure Sky is fed has fresh water and get enough exercise. It is not only that, Sky and I went through a very stressful situation and I could not get back home as the flights were fully booked despite all the stressful situation Peter still watched out for my dog and didn't leave him even the last minute where i could not find any ride home due to the weather he came and took care of Sky. I highly recommend Peter he is very reliable and wont leave your furry friends under no circumstances! Peter is very professional and knows how to deal with all types of dogs. Thank you Peter!
We've hired Tessa multiple times, and our pets LOVE her. She's always so responsive and has always been able to help out with a last minute request. We get so many cute photos and updates, and we know our pets are so well taken care of when we leave them with Tessa. So thankful we have someone we can trust our pets with. :)

Jordan came to walk my Clara for the first time. She was friendly, punctual and I felt that my pup was in very competent and caring hands. I’m looking forward to having Jordan back again. Clara happily trotted off with Jordan which told me all I needed to know.
