About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve helped look after many dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet in my care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment. Whether it’s maintaining routines, providing companionship, or giving extra care and reassurance, I make sure each pet feels secure and well cared for. I am open to caring for other animals as well! I have open availability to care for your pets! I have a part-time job that is flexible, so am able to provide services that fit your needs best. I’m happy to stay in your home & care for your animals where they are comfortable! I am respectful and trustworthy and can provide a clean CPIC.

“Abigail did a drop in to give my Oliver insulin and his antibiotic! She was great to communicate with and left me a great report card from their visit ! Will definitely book again, Thank you Abigail !!”

About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life. I love all animals and staying active and can schedule a regular dog walking or house/pet sitting :) Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise, and I keep their space clean. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy spending time with animals. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, provide companionship, keep them engaged with play and activities, and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I also communicate regularly with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.

“Very thankful for Calista! She was great with my cat. I will absolutely book with her again in the future”

“My dog loved Sarah! She dropped in a couple times during the weekend to make sure Gaïa was alright while I was away. Thanks!”

About: I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications with detailed instruction’s. cleaning up accidents, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Safety is always my top priority. I work shift work, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during weekdays, evenings, and even late-night drop-ins. My schedule changes often, so I'm able to accommodate times that don't always work for traditional 9-5 sitters. I'm a proud dog mom of 2 myself, so I understand how stressful it can be trusting someone else with your pet. Because of that, I treat every animal as if they're my own. I'm very attentive, patient, and safety-focused, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, affection, and lots of supervision. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run around and burn off some energy if appropriate for their visit and a 2 year old lab who loves making new friends if yours needs some socialization with permission of course

“Jess offered us tremendous peace of mind during eight days away from home. She immediately bonded with our cats and we could tell from their expectations of us when we got home that she gave them oodles of play and attention. Jess was extremely communicative and helped us keep in touch with our three kitties on a daily basis.”

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

About: I'm passionate about animals and have experience caring for all types of pets. I'm a flexible, friendly and responsible person. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds and types of pets. I'm a non-smoker and have my own reliable transportation. I have had cats, dogs, fish and hamsters as pets and have volunteered on farms with horses, chickens and goats. I have training in behavioural science, which helps with training and disciplining pets. I enjoy being outdoors and will make sure your dogs get plenty of exercise, fresh air and playtime. I'm willing to work with pets with special needs, rescues, and willing to administer medication. I also have experience house-sitting and am willing to do extended house/pet sitting stays. I'm good with communication and willing to work with your needs.

“Excellent care, Dolly was a happy girl!”

About: I'm an experienced and hard-working sitter in the Kingston area, offering peace of mind that your home and little ones are well taken care of in your absence. I have lived with animals my entire life. Naturally, I understand you're seeking the best possible care for your little ones, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I've been a Pawshake sitter since February 2019 and have been loving every moment of making so many new four-legged friends! About my services: HOME VISITS consist of one afternoon or evening visit that lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. During this visit, I would feed your pet(s), refresh their water dish, play & socialize with them, clean their litter box, and so on. I'm also happy to water your plants, bring your mail inside and take out garbage/recycling when needed. HOME BOARDING at my spacious, ground-level apartment means that your cat or dog would stay with me and my pets for overnights over an extended period of time. You can rest assured that your feline friends will get tons of pats and cuddles, and that dogs will be walked twice a day with plenty of opportunities to run around the yard in between. All you need to bring is their food, treats, and leash! I also offer HOUSE SITTING. The house sitting option means Birdie, Bowie and I would stay at your residence round the clock, provided I don’t have any bookings for home boarding at the requested time. This service would be ideal for households with both cats and dogs, or for animals who have a harder time adjusting to new environments. My apartment is puppy-proofed, equipped with puppy pads if needed, two litter boxes (scooped daily), and lots of toys, beds, and treats for cats and dogs alike. It's clean and spacious, with big windows for bird-watching. I have a very large, fenced-in yard for tons of extra play time, rain or shine. I have installed pet gates with built-in cat doors throughout the apartment, so cats and small dogs can have their privacy away from the larger guests when I am unable to supervise. About my pets: I have two pets of my own: An easygoing, playful, and extremely dog-savvy black cat named Gigi Luigi (4 years, male, neutered) who loves making new kitty friends, and a flat coat retriever/labradoodle named Bowie (3 years, female, spayed). Both would relish the extra company and have been socialized to respect animals of all shapes and sizes. Both are also up to date on their vaccines. I think that covers it! Thanks for giving my page a gander. I hope to meet you and your little ones soon! ☺️ I do work full-time as a community mental health nurse, but working in the community means I can drop by my home for short visits as many times per day as needed, and spend my lunch break at home every day as well. I take Bowie for 1-2 off leash adventures every day, whether or not I am working. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep yours occupied, and would be taking them on and off leash adventure at least once a day, regardless of whether I work. I also have the flexibility to pop into my home throughout the day on days I do work, so the pups get frequent potty breaks and are never left alone for long stretches.

About: (Note! I got a haircut. It's still me haha). As a pet owner I know that pets are part of the family. They need a lot of love (and work!) I can give your pet all the exercise and attention they deserve. I have experience with walking dogs of all types, caring for cats as well as scooping backyards! My availability varies week to week so it doesn't hurt to ask! More notice is always better. *If there is an emergency and I have to cancel I will let you know either the evening before or the morning of. If you won't be home make sure to leave an accessible key for access and so I can lock up when I leave. For walks please provide a leash.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for my own dogs and cats for many years, while also fostering numerous animals with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I have experience supporting medically fragile pets, including administering insulin, inhalers, oral medications, and providing care for senior or incontinent animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra medical support, a calm environment, or simply lots of affection and attention, I’m committed to maintaining their routine and comfort every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. I'm very lucky to work remotely and can set up a workspace anywhere there's an internet connection. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks or visits anytime. I have a large yard and one big friendly dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets but is also good at giving space to those who need it. He's great at reading social queues from other pups and cats. I live on a quiet country road that makes for great walks. I tend to let our dog on our furniture but are fine to keep to your rules for furniture. In your home, I'll follow your set routine for your pets.
