“Our dogs took to Bernice right away! My parents are older, so we booked her to walk our dogs for 7 days while we were away. She kept us updated with cute photos and description of how each walk went - we knew by the way she wrote that she was taking good care of them. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our fur babies were in good hands!”

About: Hello! I'm Amrit. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, senior pets, and small animals, I go beyond basic pet sitting. I provide personalized, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Plus, I am dog + cat CPR/First Aid certified as well! 🩹 I have experience with senior pet care and keeping up with energetic dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs daily walks, a bath, extra love and attention (or all four!), I strive to create a stress-free experience by following their routine as closely as possible. Having been surrounded by animals my whole life, I truly understand and respect their needs. I assure you your pet will be in caring, capable hands with me! 🐶🐱💕 **NOTE** For daycare and boarding, I typically take 1 pet at a time only. 2 pets at a time are considered if they come from the same parents. As a student with classes 3 times a week (during the school year), and a home that’s always occupied, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. My mom is always ready to lend a hand and help out when needed, so your furry friend gets even more care and attention. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, your furry friends will always be in good hands! *NOTE* I do this part-time; other bookings and personal commitments may result in limited availability. My Home: A secure fenced yard, a scenic trail right outside for daily walks, and two nearby dog parks for social pups! 🏡 Safety and trust always come first for me, so in-person meet-and-greets are mandatory before confirming any booking! Virtual meets are also offered under certain circumstances. I ask a list of important questions during screening to make sure your pet and my space are a great match. This helps pets feel comfortable early on and lets me better understand their personality, routine, and care style. It makes the whole experience smoother, safer, and way more fun for everyone! Certified in Dog & Cat First Aid, I provide attentive and responsible care, ensuring your pet is always in good hands. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs. Every pet deserves personalized love and care! First-aid Skills & Capabilities ✅: - Oral medication administration - Monitor basic vitals (breathing and heart rate) - Do quick ABC wellness checks (airway, breathing, circulation) - CPR and anti-choking steps - Support first-aid care (wound cleaning, bandaging, + minor bleeding control) - Adjust to special needs *Please note I am not comfortable administering injected medications (insulin, NSAIDS, arthritis meds, etc.) due to lack of hands-on experience* Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to replicate their routine to keep them happy and stress-free 😊

About: I love dogs of all sizes and temperaments and will always treat your pup like my own, complete with tons of photo and video updates! I own an 8yo Shiba and 4yo Samoyed, cared for a senior Shih Tzu, and have fostered reactive dogs. I'm fully comfortable with training routines, medications, recovery care, and raw or specialized diets for any walks or drop-in visits. Let me know and I can follow any routine! I’m currently working from home, so I can definitely do any walks or drop-ins needed with my schedule! Monday to Friday with some weekends can work - just message me or check my calendar! Safety and proper routine are my top priorities. I weight train 3 times a week and have experience walking high-energy puppies up to big husky/spitz breeds. I’m comfortable using any gear or harness setup your dog requires to ensure secure, happy and controlled walks. During drop-ins, I’m happy to follow exact feeding routines, give oral or topical medications, and leave your home secure before I head out.

“Selina was incredible, caring, and affectionate with Kauai. He was a very happy boy when she came to pick him up for his morning walks. Also, loved his home baked treats from Selina!! Thank you!! ??❤️”

“John and Vanessa are amazing, from our meet and greet to the walk they are both so kind and patient. Our boy can be anxious on walks but John was great giving him time to get comfortable and played with him. Will definitely re-book and highly recommend them”

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 also have my Pet First Aid certificate through Walks 'N' Wags Pet First Aid. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I currently work part-time retail with 2-3 shifts per week, but I have flexible hours. 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.

“Reliable, responds immediately, responsible, follows instructions and most importantly amazing with dogs! Will always be my first choice when booking pet care.”

“We could tell when we met her that Dana absolutely loves dogs. She was undeterred when we told her that our 10-year-old Aussie is highly energetic and does not always respond well to other dogs. She showed up reliably every day during the week we were gone, taking him on the full hour walk and even including her children on a couple of outings. The routes we took were varied and we really felt our little guy was getting a chance to work out his endless energy. We highly recommend her.”

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. 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. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. 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 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. 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: Hi there! I'm a passionate and responsible pet sitter with over 1 years of experience. I have a deep love for animals and understand the importance of providing them with the care and attention they deserve. Whether it's a playful pup or a finicky feline, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets are comfortable and happy in your absence. We have 2 family dogs and a cat and I have taken of them since they were little. I miss my fur babies here in Toronto. I am starting this as a side thing and I’m new to this app please give me a chance and I’ll not disappoint you :) I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I can board on the weekends and some week days. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe. I live in safe and clean area. Your fur babies are protected and safe in your absence.

About: My journey started as a shelter/foster volunteer, caring for cats before I had one of my own — from playful kittens to senior cats who need a slower pace and extra patience. I've been a cat mom for 5+ years — including relocating internationally with my cat — and I've provided dedicated cat care through TrustedHousesitters. My specialty is cats: reading their body language, adjusting to each personality and life stage, and keeping their routine calm and consistent while you're away. I'm also comfortable and experienced with dogs, having grown up around my grandma's dogs of different sizes and temperaments — happy to offer reliable, attentive walks alongside my cat services. I work from home, so your cat gets real company and supervision throughout the day — not a rushed morning/evening visit. Flexible timing for feeding, play, and check-ins, or quiet companionship if that's what your cat prefers. Spacious, clean, quiet townhouse — calm and pet-safe. Boarding cats get their own private room with 24/7 camera monitoring, equipped with cat tree and toys, a window view, and zero contact with other animals. No resident pets sharing the space. 🚑 Emergency plan: If anything seems off, I contact you immediately. If we can't reach each other right away, I'll bring your cat straight to your designated vet — or the nearest emergency vet clinic if it's after-hours. I'm happy to sign a vet authorization form at booking so I can act fast if needed.

About: 🐾 Animal Experience I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. In my home country, I was actively involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need, helping them recover, rehabilitate, and find safety and comfort again. Through this experience, I have learned how to handle animals with different temperaments, ages, and emotional needs, from shy and anxious pets to very active and social ones. I developed a strong sense of patience, observation, and calm energy when working with animals. This long-term experience has given me the ability to quickly understand each pet’s behavior and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As I am home full-time, I can adapt my daily routine to each dog's individual needs, providing constant companionship, supervision, and personalized care throughout their stay. Mornings: We start the day with a safe, supervised walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some time to settle in comfortably. During the day: I stay home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. They enjoy supervised playtime in our fully fenced private backyard, along with plenty of indoor companionship, relaxation, and personalized attention. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their usual routine. Afternoons and evenings: We go for a second walk to help them burn energy and maintain a balanced routine. Afterward, they can relax and enjoy family time indoors. I also send daily photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and have peace of mind while they are away. My Home & Care Policy To provide a safe, calm, and stress-free environment, I only accept dogs. My home features a fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision. We are a quiet, family-oriented household with a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. My husband is a veterinarian, which reflects our family's love and respect for animals; however, I am the primary caregiver and personally responsible for the daily care and attention of every dog in my home. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where pets are never left unattended and always feel protected and cared for. Trust is built through consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort levels so they feel secure and relaxed during their stay. I also offer a clean, smoke-free, and environmentally friendly home with access to a private fenced green yard and nearby parks. This allows pets to enjoy fresh air, nature, and safe outdoor stimulation in a controlled and responsible way. My goal is to create a peaceful balance between safety, trust, and a healthy environment where pets can feel at home, calm, and happy.

About: Hi! My name is Monique. I bring genuine love, patience, and connection to every animal I care for. Animals are more than pets, they’re family. I treat the ones I care for with the same respect, attention, and affection I would my own. I am trained in dog CPR and First Aid, which gives owners added peace of mind knowing their pet is in safe and capable hands. I also grew up with a beautiful black and brown male Doberman Pinscher named Ninja. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attentive care. My experience started young, caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets, and I’ve always loved being around animals. Ninja regularly had playdates with other dogs, which helped me learn even more about socialization, behavior, and how different dogs interact. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks, reinforcing positive habits, and keeping them active through walks, play, and mental stimulation. My favorite games to play with dogs are hide and seek and fetch. I also love to see how happy they get when they hear the word "walk". The excitement is very adorable and in return brings me great joy. I don't currently own a dog, but I’m happy to regularly help care for two beloved family dogs who visit on weekends. A sweet female senior Shih Tzu and an energetic six-year-old female Giant Schnauzer. I treat them like my own, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me valuable hands on experience. From providing gentle attention and comfort to senior pets to keeping active dogs engaged and happy, I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves loving, reliable care. I am available full time for your pet. Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate different care needs as required. Pets in my care are provided with a safe, structured, and attentive environment. I provide trustworthy care and make sure every walk and visit is safe, positive, and stress free. I can also care for pets in your home, following all instructions and specific needs you provide.
