Pet Sitting Metcalfe

About: I grew up with pets and have always loved walking, training, and cuddling them! When I got my puppies in 2022, I took on a major role in their care and training. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and have pet-sat for family and neighbours. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility. I am free to walk your dog or drop in for a visit from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM on Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat. I am available from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM on Tue and Thu. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure that they get exercise, play time, and cuddles, while following your regular routine to keep your furbaby comfortable and happy.

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As an animal adopter my entire adult life, I have encountered many quirky characters. I love to learn about each pet individually and give them the love and care they deserve. I’m an artist so I mostly work from home! I’m available weekdays and most weekends, able to fit almost any schedule or routine needed for your pet. I have a fenced yard and three friendly, playful dogs to keep your pup company in my home. I also have an air conditioned home to keep them cool between running around outside!

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of many different dogs over my lifetime, including within my family and branching out to friends families as well. I have been seen as a go to for pet check ins, sittings, and walks. Recently, I have decided to branch out and make more four-legged friends! I work from home 3/5 days per week in Kenmore/Metcalfe/Russell/Greely area, and would be happy to take my lunch breaks to go on walks with your fur babies, or to do some check-ins! I am also open most weekends. Ensuring your fur baby feels safe, secure, and comfortable is my top priority! Sometimes new faces can be scary, but I ensure I approach new fur babies with love and care. Safety is also something that I consider to be top priority, which includes the safety of your pet and your home. Providing an animal with a fun nurturing environment is something that I take pride in!

“Dylan was great, he was a last minute booking because our previous sitters bailed with no notice and I’m so glad we got him to take care of our cats while we were away getting married! He showed up when he said, sent tons of pictures, kept in communication, and went on a cat hunt when our one cat decided to hide in the couch. Thank you Dylan! Highly recommend!”

About: Animal lover with veterinary clinic experience, a lifetime of cat ownership, and plenty of experience with dogs too. Comfortable with nail trims, expert level cuddles, and professionally certified in belly rubs and ear scratches! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. This means more time for walks, playtime, belly rubs, chin scratches, and sending you the photo updates you'll inevitably want. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, quirks, favorite toys, and preferred scratching spots (for the cats who allow it). With my veterinary clinic experience, I'm comfortable following care instructions closely and keeping an eye out for anything unusual. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and lots of photo updates along the way.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, from my two beloved cats, Easton and Leo, to rabbits, a conure, chickens, ducks, and fish. I genuinely love and respect all animals, and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they’re playful kittens or shy seniors, and I take the time to connect with them in a calm, respectful way. You can count on me to provide trusted, compassionate care, just like I do for my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your cat the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day. I also have two animal-loving, babysitter-certified daughters who are home for the summer and just as dedicated to making your feline friend feel safe, loved, and comfortable. With our calm, pet-friendly home and flexible schedule, your cat will be in caring and attentive hands at all times In our home, we have a completely separate, quiet section dedicated solely to the pets we care for. This space is designed to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, with cozy spots for resting and plenty of attention. We understand how important it is to create a calm environment, especially for cats who may be shy or adjusting to a new place.If caring for pets in your home, we follow your routines closely to provide familiar comfort and minimize any disruption. Whether at your home or ours, the priority is always the well-being and happiness of your feline friend.

“We scheduled an additional meet and greet with a walk so that our dog could get more familiar with Nicole. Nicole sent a reminder and was on time. She asked questions to get to better understand our nervous dog and was gentle and patient with her.”

“Loved the daily reports & photos for the drop-in visits; reports were thorough and timely. It would appear that my boys were very happy with having Heather drop-in for a couple of hours on the days there would be no one home to take them out for potty, walks / play, feed them lunch and top up their water bowls.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes my entire life… ranging from 80+lb labs and bulldogs, to 15lb Frenchies. My son asked me if we can start walking dogs together and I thought it was a great idea. We’d love to share our love and experience with dogs, by walking yours in our free time! I work remotely from home with a lot of flexibility so it’s easy for me to plan my day around getting some fresh air with your pup! My son will join me after school and on weekends to offer some extra doggy love. We’re happy to go for neighbourhood walks and love exploring local trails and walking to the river. Glad to walk from your home or pick up for an off leash walk at their favourite dog park. Let us know what your dog would love best!

“Rebeca is amazing! My cat is very shy and she was able to develop trust and get her to spend time with her. I could relax knowing that she was my cat sitter. She timed the visits very well due to some wild weather. I will be hiring her every time I go in holiday. Thanks so much for taking good care of Punko.”

Tracey G.

“I asked Vannesa to take care of my cat a few times now. I felt good about leaving my cat in Vannesa's care each time. I also booked a few times last minute and I appreciated a lot the willingness to accommodate that. Great communication. As far I can tell, my cat received a lot of love each time (along with all the food, water, hygiene care <3 ). I'm likely to book again!”

Annick F. N. T.

“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”

Mcaley G.

“Breanne is amazing with updates & a last minute request, was very reassuring when I was stressed out about going away last minute & took the best care of my kitten! I will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”

About: I am a proud cat owner for five years. I naturally connect with cats of all personalities, earning their trust with patience and care. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available on my days off, and when working summer camps (9-5) I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I respect their boundaries and will keep you posted with pictures and updates so that you don’t miss them too much!

“Gabriella was great. I needed someone help me to socialize my dogs to having people other than my family in the house. She was kind and patient with my 2 dogs. Will likely book her again once I have gotten dogs used to more different people.”

About: I have owned a dog all my life and after a 30year career in the airline business I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet for long hours, I would love to take that stress away for you and do what I love to do anyways. If you are away from home for long hours or working from home and need some help I will be more than happy to see that your furry loved one is taken care of. If you have just welcomed a new puppy I can make daily visits so that you are worry free. During this time. I take the added care needed when entering your home for a safe and worry free visit. My time is very flexible for short term bookings, at this time I won’t be taking long term bookings but let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to help. Whatever my clients prefer I try to accommodate as best as possible which works well with your pet. Whether it be walks around the neighbourhood or taken to some trails.

“I could not be happier with Elena. My dog has severe separation anxiety and was adjusting to a recent move. She did some drop in visits with him to help ease the transition. She was so communicative and the perfect gentle soul for my little dog! She also gave me some considerate advice (sonic egg/thunder shirt, things I didn't know about) to help him slowly adjust. She is truly an animal lover and really cares! <3 Thank you Elena!”
