About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful younger dogs who need plenty of activity to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I take time to learn each dog’s normal routine, personality, and any instructions from their owner so their care feels familiar and comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to send regular photo updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very open and flexible, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your cat attention, company, and care. I’m available throughout the week for boarding and drop-in visits, and I can often accommodate different feeding schedules, longer visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep your cat’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a spacious, tidy two-bedroom apartment where I can provide a calm and comfortable environment for visiting cats. I keep my home clean and make sure potentially unsafe areas are secure. My balcony stays closed and visiting cats will never have unsupervised balcony access. I also give cats plenty of time and space to settle in and adjust at their own pace rather than forcing interaction.

About: I have had doggies my whole life and since my last darling passed, I have been a foster Mom and boarder to many! I adore doggies and have a huge yard and heart to match! I support many online charities that save and care for refuge doggies! I was also a caregiver for my senior Mom in her latter years, so patience and love come naturally to me. I am retired so home all day and love having doggies to share the house! I also share the house with a friend so we are both available for walkings etc. I have a huge yard that is partially fenced-in to allow doggies to run and "do their business" throughout the day outside of regular walk times.

About: I’ve been sitting privately with loyal clients that have grown because of their referrals. I’ve sat a diverse group of clients from 3 furry friends under one roof to 1 with an asthma pump. Pet sitting is a great fit into my routine! As a masters student who lives far from school, house sitting simplifies the trips. A greater benefit is in having to take care of a pet, I remember to take care of myself. So the walks and set times to eat go a long way I am used to having a personalized care plans for all clients. Dogsitting is a time for me to be alone as I work with people all day (no parties)

About: Hi! I've been an animal lover my whole life with a particular love for dogs. I've been caring for my friends' pets for years and then started getting requests from some of their friends, and since I love it and found myself in a position where I need to find some more work, I figured I'd make myself available to more fur babies! I'm really only interested in caring for dogs, though I do love cats too, but there are allergies to contend with. I'm without any animals living here, so your dog can get undivided and attention. I'm happy to have them stay here, take them on frequent walks, and I can offer to work on some basic training skills if you like. I'm also available to walk from your place or just do drop-ins to give them some love! If you need someone to care for and spend some time with your pup, let me know! I'm working on a flexible schedule and often work from home, so I can dedicate my time around the needs of your fur baby. We can discuss your specific needs and make sure it all works. I have no other pets to worry about. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I live in a quiet neighborhood with time for frequent walks. I'm happy to bring your pup to the dog park if you prefer but I typically prefer to take on frequent long walks (if they are able). And for socialization, I have friends with well socialized neutral non-reactive dogs in fenced in yards for playtime (if you like).

“Bear enjoyed his time with Mylène ! She was great with him!”

Lisa C.

“Highly recommend Amira! She is absolutely fantastic. She sent me many videos and pictures of her and my dog Bear on long walks and playing fetch. You can tell she really loves animals and takes extremely good care of them. 5/5 will for sure be booking Amira again.”

About: EN/FR Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been around dogs of many different breeds, both growing up and through pet sitting, including Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Huskies, German Shepherds, Miniature Shih Tzus, Beagles, Dachshunds, and many more. Over the past three years, my partner and I have completed numerous house and pet sits while traveling around the world. This experience has given us the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and individual needs in many different environments. House sitting has now become a full-time lifestyle for us. I am also comfortable administering certain medications (depending on the method of administration) and place great importance on respecting each pet's routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. --------------------- Je suis entourée d'animaux depuis aussi longtemps que ma mémoire me le permet. J'ai eu des chiens de plusieurs races dans mon entourage, à la maison ainsi qu'en garde, notamment des Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Huskys, Bergers allemands, Shih Tzus miniatures, Beagles, Teckels et beaucoup plus. Au cours des trois dernières années, mon conjoint et moi avons réalisé de nombreux gardiennages de maisons et d'animaux pendant nos voyages à travers le monde. Cette expérience nous a permis de prendre soin de chiens et de chats aux personnalités, routines et besoins très variés, dans différents environnements. Le housesitting est devenu un mode de vie pour nous maintenant qu'on le fait à temps plein. Je suis également à l'aise d'administrer certains médicaments (selon le type d'administration) et j'accorde une grande importance au respect des habitudes de chaque animal afin qu'il se sente en sécurité, détendu et aimé pendant votre absence. EN/FR We manage our own schedule, which gives us a great deal of flexibility throughout the week. Since we both work remotely and have made house and pet sitting our full-time lifestyle, our daily routine naturally revolves around the needs of the pets in our care. Born and raised in Montreal, we've been together for over 10 years. Our years of house sitting have taught us how to quickly adapt to new homes, respect each family's routines, stay organized, and handle unexpected situations with a calm approach. When we're not working, we enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, staying active, watching movies, and continually learning new skills. This balanced lifestyle allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship, affection, and attentive care while their families are away. --------------------- Nous gérons notre propre horaire, ce qui nous offre une grande flexibilité au quotidien. Nous travaillons tous les deux à distance et avons fait du gardiennage de maisons et d'animaux notre mode de vie à temps plein. Nos journées s'organisent donc naturellement autour des besoins des animaux dont nous prenons soin. Originaires de Montréal et en couple depuis plus de 10 ans, nous sommes habitués à nous adapter rapidement à de nouveaux environnements et à respecter les habitudes de chaque foyer. Notre expérience de plusieurs années en housesitting nous a appris à être organisés et à gérer les imprévus avec calme. Lorsque nous ne travaillons pas, nous aimons cuisiner, profiter du plein air, faire de l'activité physique, regarder des films et continuer à apprendre de nouvelles choses. Cette routine équilibrée nous permet d'offrir une présence attentionnée, beaucoup d'affection et du temps de qualité aux animaux qui nous sont confiés. EN/FR We exclusively offer pet sitting in our clients' homes. We believe pets are happiest and most relaxed when they can remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by the routines and comforts they know. Our priority is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (when required), and all the little habits that help them feel safe and comfortable. We also treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own. We believe good communication is essential, so we're happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them and discuss your expectations so you can feel completely confident entrusting us with your home and your pets. --------------------- Nous offrons exclusivement des services de garde à votre domicile. Nous croyons que les animaux sont généralement plus heureux et détendus lorsqu'ils restent dans leur environnement familier, où leurs habitudes et leurs repères sont préservés. Notre priorité est de respecter votre routine autant que possible : heures des repas, promenades, jeux, médication (au besoin), ainsi que toutes les petites habitudes qui contribuent au bien-être de votre compagnon. Nous traitons également votre maison avec le même soin et le même respect que si c'était la nôtre. Nous aimons maintenir une bonne communication avec les propriétaires en donnant des nouvelles régulières, accompagnées de photos ou de vidéos, afin que vous puissiez profiter de votre absence en toute tranquillité. Si vous avez la moindre question, il nous fera plaisir d'y répondre et de discuter de vos attentes afin que vous puissiez faire un choix en toute confiance.

About: **English version coming :) Bonjour! Hello! Je m’appelle Vanessa et je parle français et anglais. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moi dans la langue de votre choix! Depuis toujours, les animaux occupent une place essentielle dans ma vie. J’ai grandi entourée de chiens et de chats, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable complicité avec eux. Je sais à quel point il peut être difficile de confier son compagnon à quelqu’un d’autre. C’est pourquoi je prends cette responsabilité très au sérieux. Avec moi, votre animal recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’il mérite. Vous pouvez avoir l’esprit tranquille : je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s’il faisait partie de ma propre famille. 🌸 Je suis également disponible pour m’occuper d’autres types d’animaux. Avec vos consignes et les informations nécessaires, je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour répondre à leurs besoins et assurer leur bien-être. Je dois toutefois avouer que j’ai moins d’expérience avec les oiseaux, les rongeurs et les reptiles. Cela dit, si vous prenez le temps de m’expliquer leurs besoins et votre routine, je serai ravie de m’en occuper avec attention. À la maison, les animaux font partie de mon quotidien! J’en ai plusieurs et je m’occupe aussi d’une colonie de chats. Vous pouvez donc avoir confiance : je suis habituée à prendre soin de nos amis à quatre pattes! Mon objectif est toujours le même : offrir une présence bienveillante, rassurante et des soins de qualité à votre compagnon, quel qu’il soit! 🐾 Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I speak both French and English. Feel free to contact me in whichever language you prefer! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, which allowed me to build a strong bond with them from an early age. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companion, and that's why I take that responsibility very seriously. With me, your pet will receive all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. You can have peace of mind knowing that I'll care for your companion as if they were part of my own family. 🌸 I'm also happy to care for other types of pets. As long as you provide me with their routine and any important instructions, I'll always do my best to meet their needs and ensure they're happy, healthy, and comfortable. I do have less experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles. That said, if you take the time to explain their care routine and specific needs, I'd be more than happy to look after them with the same dedication and attention. At home, animals are part of my everyday life! I have several pets of my own, and I also care for a colony of community cats. You can trust that I'm very comfortable caring for our four-legged friends and treating them with the love and respect they deserve! My goal is always the same: to provide kind, reliable, and high-quality care, giving your companion the love and reassurance they deserve, no matter what kind of pet they are. 🐾 Agente de bord, je bénéficie d’un horaire très flexible. Je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour m’adapter à vos disponibilités, et je suis convaincue que nous pourrons trouver un horaire qui nous conviendra à tous! Je suis ouverte aux demandes additionnelles : passer du temps avec vos compagnons, les surveiller dans la cour, promener votre chat, jouer avec eux… ect. Je propose des gardes à domicile ainsi que des sorties! Sachez que je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme vous le feriez vous-même à la maison, en respectant à la lettre vos règles et vos habitudes. Que vous préfériez laisser un bol de nourriture disponible toute la journée ou suivre un horaire précis pour les repas, je m’adapterai avec plaisir. Mon seul intérêt est le bien-être et le bonheur de vos animaux.

About: I grew up with pets, dogs cats turtles chicks rabbit Guinée pigs ect….i Raised a few puppies and i don’t believe they should be caged so it’s a condition for me they need to learn to behave like a child No cages. I’m newly retired and I have a Little Dashun 4 years old who follows me everywhere I go. We are very socialised and love to play. I’m very protective of my animal compagnon I care for their safety and well being . Like to give them freedom as long as it is safe. Alimentation is the key and excercise off course is crucial for their health.

About: I have owned and fostered dogs. I currently own a one year old Labernese (Lab and Bernese Mountain Dog mix) who has the look of a lab but the gentle and chill nature of a Bernese. She is anxious with humans but loves other dogs and plays well with little and big dogs alike. I also own a puppy named Sandy. She is 5 months now (July 2026) and is used to all kinds of dogs. Sandy is a sweetheart and loves to play. She has been socialized with dogs and humans since we got her so she gets along with everyone. I love to pack walk and I provide a lot of structure for dog guests to feel comfortable and secure. I work from home and my husband is a stay at home dad. With our kids in school all week we have tons of time to snuggle and play with doggies throughout the day. I have a huge fenced in yard. I live in a large bungalow with lots of room for dogs to hangout and play. We also have a well divided home that allows us to section areas for dogs that are more shy or prefer to be alone then to be around other pups. I work from home as a Strategy Manager with a very flexible schedule. Doggies are welcome in my office and I have set up a spot right by my desk. When we need a break I live in a lovely suburban area close to the Lakeshore and great walking paths. I ask all my clients for their current pet routines in order to stick to that as closely as possible. I believe in trust and consistency and of course....so much love!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings. I’ve worked as a client care receptionist in animal hospitals, where I regularly interacted with pets of all temperaments, assisted with handling animals, checked pets in for surgery and wellness visits, and helped administer medications when needed. I’ve also worked at PetSmart and a grooming salon, where I cared for animals daily, assisted groomers, bathed and brushed dogs, monitored pet behavior, and ensured pets were safe, comfortable, and happy. Through these roles, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, handle pets calmly, and provide compassionate care—especially for nervous or senior animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am an assistant basketball coach and have practices for 1–2 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of those times, I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I occasionally have games on weekends, but I still maintain availability before and after games and will always communicate clearly in advance. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and playtime. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, paying close attention to their body language and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection based on what they’re comfortable with. With my experience working in animal hospitals and pet care settings, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, including shy, senior, or nervous animals, and administering medications when needed. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for.

About: I have had pets since childhood, I have had dogs, cats, ducks, sheep, parrots and I know how to take care of them well. Even now, I have two dogs, very active and healthy, who have been with me since they were two months old, one is 12 years old and the other is 9 years old Every day and every night on all days of the week on all official and unofficial holidays and weekends To walk, maintain and feed I'm ready Because I love animals and I have had many animals myself and I know how much animal owners depend on their animals and how important and serious it is for them to take care of them, so I will take care of them in the best possible way.

“Nous avons eu une très belle expérience avec Emily et Nicholas. C'était notre première réservation avec Rover, nous avions donc plusieurs craintes, mais ils ont su bien nous rassurer avant et pendant nos vacances. Très satisfaits!”

About: J’ai toujours eu un grand amour pour les animaux, particulièrement les chiens. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper d’eux au quotidien : promenades, jeux, alimentation et m’assurer qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Je suis une personne responsable, attentive et patiente, et je comprends l’importance de respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque animal. Avec moi, votre chien recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins nécessaires pendant votre absence. Je suis disponible pour m’occuper de vos animaux tous les jours de la semaine, avec des plages horaires flexibles selon vos besoins. Je peux faire des promenades matin, midi ou soir, ainsi que des visites à domicile pour nourrir, jouer et veiller au bien-être de vos compagnons. Pour toute demande particulière ou horaire personnalisé, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, je m’adapte volontiers pour le confort de votre animal. Chez nous, les animaux sont notre priorité. Nous avons une cour arrière sécurisée où ils peuvent jouer librement, et mes grandes filles adorent les animaux et participent aux soins et aux jeux. Chaque compagnon reçoit toute notre attention, notre affection et un environnement sûr et joyeux où il se sentira comme à la maison.
