About: Hey I’m Charmaine ♡ I’ve had years of experience taking care of dogs. I love playing with dogs and taking them out for walks. My friends/neighbours have trusted me to take care of their pets when they’re busy. I work from home during the weekdays, so I’m usually available throughout the day. Feel free to message me if you’re ever looking for someone to care for your pups for the day/overnight - I’d be happy to help! 😊 I have a friendly pup of my own who is sweet, calm, and easygoing. She loves meeting and socializing with other dogs, and she’ll be happy to keep your pups company during their stay. 🐶💕

About: What truly sets me apart is my background as a rescue pet parent. I understand that not every pet is 'plug and play', some need extra patience, a calm voice, and time to decompress. My experience has taught me how to read subtle body language and handle pets that may be shy, anxious, or have specific triggers. Additionally, as a working professional with a steady 9 to 5, I bring a high level of organization and reliability to my sittings. I am not someone who will flake or show up late; I treat your pet's schedule with the same respect I give my own career. You can expect detailed updates, photos from every walk, and a sitter who is deeply committed to maintaining your pet's existing routine and home security. Pet care is a dedicated part of my morning and evening routine. Because I work a consistent 9 to 5 schedule, I offer highly reliable and 'on the clock' care that pets thrive on. On Weekdays: I am available for early morning walks or check-ins before 8:30 AM, and I am fully dedicated to pet care starting at 5:30 PM for evening walks, feedings, and playtime. For house-sitting clients, your pet will have my full company throughout the evening and overnight. On Weekends: My schedule is completely open! I use Saturdays and Sundays for longer walks, adventure trail visits in the Markham area, and extended playtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. When walking or visiting your home, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked behind me and double-check leashes and harnesses before heading out. I am always vigilant of my surroundings to avoid high-stress situations or unfriendly off-leash dogs. Having cared for a rescue pet, I am very comfortable managing specialized instructions, from strict feeding schedules to administering medication. I believe in clear communication and will provide frequent photo updates and notes so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own comfortable environment. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own family

“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: 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: My journey started as a volunteer at dog and cat shelters before I have any pets myself. I’ve cared for pets as a foster, TrustedHousesitter, and a cat mom for over 4 years. I also grew up with my grandma’s dogs, so I’m familiar with both cats and dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, loving, and consistent environment while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles - or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. I live in a spacious townhouse that’s clean, quiet, and pet-safe, perfect for boarding or drop-in visits. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give my own space, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment.

“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!”

Kim H.

“Karine is easy to communicate with. She was on time when she picked up Saewoo and she was very sweet to him. I appreciate all the videos and pics she sent. I would book her again for sure :)”

Tricia D.

“Bernice was great! First time using Rover and she was flexible and easy to communicate with. She invited Zack and I to come and meet her outside her place so we could meet her dog Gala before they went off together. Zack had not eaten that morning and Bernice was kind enough to spoil him by hand feeding him! -I think both were entertained for the day! I have no hesitation in recommending Bernice look after your pet.”

George M.

“Attentive”

“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: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.

About: I primarily focus on cat care and have hands-on experience taking care of my own cat. I understand daily routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to a cat’s behavior and comfort level. I am experienced with playful and curious cats, and I always ensure interactions are safe and stress-free. I prefer working with cats to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel secure and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I am able to dedicate consistent time to caring for cats throughout the day. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention based on your cat’s routine. I maintain a very clean and hygienic environment. I vacuum daily and clean the litter box at least twice a day to ensure comfort and cleanliness. I also provide regular grooming care, including cleaning around the eyes and face, wiping paws, and maintaining overall hygiene. I pay close attention to small details to keep cats comfortable and well cared for. When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.

“Dan is an excellent match for our Doberman Pinscher. He is reliable and eager to work with our dog. I am extremely pleased with his services. Thank you Dan!”

I provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their families. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Having pets in my home fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority, and being home most of the day means I can give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a retired sitter who is home most of the time, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's property, ensuring pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve while they're away.

About: I have taken care of dogs from all ages, from walks, playtime, feedings, and meds. I can do it all for your special pups ! I am a university student and have the summer semester off. Looking to give my time to friendly animals and their owners any time ! I make sure to give timed meds to my dog everyday and keep an eye on areas of house that she is not allowed in.

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.
