“Even though I was not there physically, my mom was there and she said that Amandeep was very nice! He was very quick to my last minute request on a holiday and was very responsive to my messages. He even took the time to take pictures and update how many times Simba needed to use the washroom. Simba seems to like him a lot so I will be using his services in the future!”


“Dayna has been an absolute gem with our Sailor. The two of them bonded instantly at the first meeting and sailor loves her walks with Dayna. We.loved seeing the daily report cards with photos about their walks and events that happened. We can't wait to book Dayna again for our next trip and we would highly recommend Dayna looking for a responsible and loving companion for their dog.”


“Zoe just has her first walk with Sarah, and we’re so pleased! Before her walk, Sarah had scheduled a Meet & Greet with us and was very professional and kind. You could tell she’s a pro at what she does and loves animals ! She was so gentle and caring with our Zoe. 10/10 recommend and we will definitely use her services again !”


“Wing Shan is a very excellent sitter for your dogs 🐶 and cats 😺. She is a good communicator and really knows how to do her job well. My dog, Caeser, is enjoying his weekly walks with her ❤️”


About: As a pet parent to a four-year-old Foxhound and someone with a background in Health Promotion, I bring both personal experience and professional insight to pet care. I understand that each dog has unique physical and emotional needs at different life stages, and I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to every pet I look after. Caring for an energetic and intelligent breed like a Foxhound has given me extensive experience with high-energy dogs. I’m familiar with leash training, basic obedience commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “come,” and I know how to provide both physical activity and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and balanced. My background in Health Promotion also helps me pay close attention to a pet’s overall well-being — from balanced nutrition and hygiene to early recognition of health issues and creating daily routines that support a pet’s quality of life. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and pets with special needs, providing gentle support with medication, mobility, and emotional comfort. I truly believe that combining knowledge with genuine love and patience is the key to making pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine — from morning walks and meal times to play, training, and quiet companionship. Being home allows me to respond quickly to pets’ needs, whether it’s a bathroom break, a bit of extra exercise, or simply offering comfort and company. I’m also available for extended care, senior dog support, and pets who may have anxiety when left alone. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my routine — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. I work from home and offer a calm, pet-friendly space with a fully fenced backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. Dogs get regular supervised time outside every few hours for exercise and fresh air. My own dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I ensure slow, safe introductions. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow their routines closely, prioritize safety, and provide consistent, loving attention — just like I do with my own dog.

“thank you so much”

“Henry enjoyed his walk today and went happily with Carmen, despite it being the first time they met. Good to know he also behaved himself on the walk!”


“Niroji is friendly and punctual and Bailey took to her almost immediately. We did a quick trial walk and afterwards did not hesitate to book Niroji for weekly walks. The first walk went off without a hitch and we enjoyed the plethora of photos that Niroji sent.”


About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. All of us feeled the body got exercised and inner got calmed. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 20-30 min would be by default. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.

About: It's been two years since I began fostering and in that time I've learned a lot about the importance of caring for a pet whether it be basic training/ commands, thresholds or ensuring they receive proper mental stimulation. With my first foster (eventually foster fail), it was a lot of trial and error to figure out which training method was best suited for him because every dog response is different based on their breed and unique personality. The rescue (Sea Paws Rescue) was very complimentary of my foster's training and said he was one of their best trained intake! I've since fostered a rescue puppy and provided the same basic training to ensure they found their forever home, which we did! The family was also very impressed with how well the puppy responded to sit and down commands. During this time, I also watched 3 dogs in the same household over a two-week period, while ensuring each dog received the required training and engagement on a daily basis. I treat every dog in my care as if their my own and ensure safety precautions are in place to avoid any unnecessary incidents. I also understand that leaving your dog in an unfamiliar environment and person can be nerve wracking, so I will always provide regular updates via text, pics, or videos! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! P.S.: I'm also in the process of completing my Pet First Aid Certificate with Walks and Wags Pet First Aid. I'm currently part of a 4 month community program that requires a in-person meeting once a week, but other than that my schedule is fairly flexible as I'm currently job hunting. During my two-week stint of caring for three dogs at the same time, it brought me a lot of joy to be surrounded by three loveable (and different) dogs. It also helped my foster pup understand proper boundaries with other dogs to know when and when not to engage or give proper space. In my home, I ensure that it's a safe, clean, and inviting environment for my dog. I also provide a structured routine to ensure he is properly stimulated - both mentally and physically (ex. Morning potty break, breakfast, and morning walks). For your pets, I guarantee they will receive the same treatment as if they were my own. If they have a routine, certain boundaries, or essential needs, I will do everything I can to ensure it's followed exactly as required.

“Faye was super reliable and made us very comfortable knowing our Murphy was getting great walks twice a day. This was the first time we had anyone else aside from our family walk Murphy and Faye sent us pictures daily. Would highly recommend!”
