House Sitting Minto

“We had Sarah watch our dog and cat while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. This was the first time ever we trusted someone outside of family to care for our pets, and Sarah exceeded every expectation. She was thoughtful, reliable, and truly cared for our animals as if they were her own. Our pets warmed up to her immediately, and we came home to two very happy, relaxed companions. She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sarah is an absolute gem. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loves animals, she’s the one. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”

About: I love animals, and caring for them brings me a lot of joy. I have experience with both cat and dog sitting, and pets tend to trust me quickly because of my calm and caring nature. In addition to pet sitting, I was a cat owner for over 30 years and cared for three very different cats, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I treat every animal with kindness and respect. I am available for full time cat and dog boarding at my house, home visits, dog walking. I can take care of other pets too. I currently don't have animals at my house. I can offer cat or dog boarding at my house or at client's home. I am available for the frequent visits at the client's home. In each option I will take care of emptying litter boxes, feeding, cleaning the feeding dishes, changing the water. I will play with the pets by providing stimulating toys, training dogs. I love taking the dogs for long walks. If they like them. I am familiar with automatic feeders and pet water fountains. I can do other tasks around the home as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. From senior pups who love a slow stroll and a good nap to energetic dogs who are always ready for their next adventure, I really enjoy getting to know each animal and their unique personality. I’ve helped with everything from overnight stays and daily walks to quick drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I also have a dog of my own, Scout, who is one of the most loving and social dogs you’ll ever meet! He makes friends with just about everyone, and together we live a pretty active lifestyle filled with walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. We even have backyard chickens, so our love for animals definitely extends beyond just cats and dogs! Having Scout has made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I know every animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I always do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs someone to keep up with their endless energy or just a friendly face to keep them company, I’d love to help! Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I love including my own dog into my daily routine and ensure that he gets lots of play and stimulation. I work from home part of the week so have ability to play in the backyard at lunch or let dogs outside as frequently as needed. I prioritize being outside, even on rainy days so there’s no fear that a doggo would miss out on a walk! I have a fenced yard and it’s big enough to run around or play fetch in. We have sectioned off a few areas in our house so that multiple dogs have places to take breaks separately if need be. I always want to ensure every dog that I take care of feels fulfilled and happy!

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young kid, not only have I owned dogs all my life (border collie, and German shepherd) and have done dog sitting for friends and neighbours as well and understand care and grooming for all different kinds of dogs. I am also confident and more than capable of giving any and all medication. Currently working self employed and there are two of us so double the care for the price of one! Since we are self employed and decently in charge of our schedule it allows us to schedule around what works best for you and your furry friends. Take them on regular walks make sure they have appropriate amounts of food and water, make sure they get any and all medication on time. Make sure they there is nothing potentially harmful to the animal in the home or surroundings We also have a large property for them to explore for at home and am more then willing to stick to any and all guidelines you have for your cute furry friend.
