About: Depuis que je suis toute petite, j’ai toujours vécu entourée d’animaux. Chiens, chats et autres compagnons ont toujours fait partie de ma vie, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable passion et une grande facilité à m’occuper d’eux. Aujourd’hui, je partage ma vie avec mon chien, un magnifique mélange de Husky et de Bouvier de 5 ans, ainsi qu’avec mon chat de 11 ans. Je suis habituée aux personnalités, aux besoins et aux petites habitudes propres à chaque animal. J’adore jouer avec eux, passer du temps à leurs côtés et surtout leur offrir toute l’attention et l’affection dont ils ont besoin. Pour moi, garder un animal, ce n’est pas simplement le surveiller : c’est faire en sorte qu’il se sente en sécurité, aimé et bien entouré pendant votre absence. Comme je suis travailleuse autonome, je partage mon temps entre mes contrats de design sur ordinateur et la livraison avec Uber. Ça me permet d’avoir un horaire assez flexible et de m’adapter facilement aux besoins de chaque animal. J’aime justement profiter de cette liberté pour sortir de chez moi, prendre l’air et passer du temps avec des animaux. Que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite, une séance de jeux ou simplement leur tenir compagnie, j’aime pouvoir leur accorder du temps et de l’attention tout au long de la journée. Mon horaire flexible me permet donc d’offrir une présence régulière et de m’adapter aux habitudes de votre compagnon. Je privilégie le gardiennage à votre domicile, afin que votre animal puisse rester dans son environnement habituel, avec ses odeurs, ses repères et sa routine. Je ne garde donc pas les animaux chez moi, notamment parce que mon chat est moins à l’aise avec la présence d’autres animaux. Lors de mes visites, je prends le temps de m’adapter à chaque compagnon et à sa personnalité. Je peux m’occuper de ses repas, de son eau, de sa litière, de ses promenades, de ses besoins particuliers, mais surtout lui offrir une vraie présence et de l’attention. J’aime jouer avec les animaux, les faire bouger, leur donner de l’affection et prendre le temps de créer un lien avec eux. Pour moi, une visite ne consiste pas simplement à « passer faire le nécessaire » : je veux que votre animal profite réellement de ma présence et se sente en confiance pendant votre absence. Je respecte aussi les consignes et les habitudes de chaque propriétaire afin que votre compagnon garde autant que possible sa routine habituelle, même lorsque vous n’êtes pas là.

“Maha was absolutely wonderful with my kitten, Leo. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress free. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which was so reassuring. It honestly felt like I was still there with him. Every picture showed how happy, comfortable, and relaxed he was with her. She was kind, patient, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. She even stayed a little longer when I was running late getting home, which I really appreciated. I came home to a very happy and relaxed kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust Maha with Leo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! I also have experience with cats, many farm animals, small rodents, etc… so I’m no stranger to knowing how to care for animals! Dog wise— I’ve taken care of puppies, all the way up to elderly poochies 💛 On top of care, and walking— I also have experience with training basic commands, and even tricks! Teaching a dog something new is genuinely one of the greatest joys in life! ** I have a small fenced in yard, a field across the street and 2 dog parks nearby I just finished my program and so I have so much free time until the winter when I become a student again! I am currently available full-time I would prefer to host! I have a spacious apartment with a small high fenced yard, a field across the street and two dog parks nearby. So ample of outdoor space for your poochy to get some fresh air and exercise! 🐶💛 When caring for pets, I think it’s best to understand the personality of the dog and accommodate and adjust to their needs (within reason of course!). When walking dogs, it’s important to go at their pace. This time is for them, and they deserve to enjoy the outdoors just as much as we do, if not more. I am very cautious of safety for pets. With my many years of experience in looking after various animals, I am very in tune with animals needs, behaviour, body language, potential dangers and will always take the extra step to ensure safety and comfortably of an animal. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! :)

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and approach my care with warmth, patience, and affection. I currently have a rescue lab retriever mix (heavy on the mix) and grew up with cats. I believe we can learn so much from animals and deeply appreciate taking the time to get to know each personality. I'm detail oriented and a reliable communicator, approaching each new pet with compassion and curiosity. I am a contract worker in the performing arts and so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am typically am available each day between the hours of 7am and 9pm. I value safety and emotional well-being above all and so sticking to their regular routine is my is priority. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to adapt my routine with each of the pets I care for. I love playtime and cuddles and also understand that each pet has their boundaries and respect those always.

Who doesn’t want to see pictures of their four legged family member 🐶 I am available during lunches Wednesdays and Fridays, and evenings every day of the week. On weekends my schedule is completely free! I am happy to adjust to your schedule and figure out a time that works best for you!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old, when I walked my neighbours schnauzer around the park almost every weekend until she died when I was 16. I’ve also sat all types of dogs from golden retrievers to puppy dachshunds. I am not afraid of any animals and I’ll always treat them with the best care I can give. Being far from home and away from my pets I am trying to fill the animal sized hole in my heart. I currently a student at Concordia university and don’t have a full time job rather I do freelance work where I can find it luckily most of my classes aren’t in person so I am free almost all of the time Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to keep any animals in my student residence. But if you invite me into your home to take care of your animal(s) I will treat the area with the upmost respect and will clean up any mess me or the animal makes while I am present

About: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!

About: [English] It would be my absolute pleasure to take care of your fur baby! I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember. In fact, my love for them started before I could even walk or crawl! Cats have been part of my life every step of the way, and I truly can’t imagine a world without them. I share my home with five wonderful cats, including two healthy kittens I raised from birth, giving me hands-on experience with neonatal care. While I may not have professional pet-sitting credentials, I have a lifetime of close, personal experience with cats. Your cat will be treated like one of my own; loved, cuddled, played with, and kept happy, safe and comfortable until your return. I’m always happy to send you sweet photos and videos upon your request, so you never have to miss a single purr. To me, cats aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. [Français] Les chats ont toujours fait partie de ma vie, et je ne peux tout simplement pas imaginer un monde sans eux. Je suis passionnée par les chats depuis aussi loin que je me souvienne. En fait, mon amour pour eux a commencé bien avant que j’ai apprise à marcher! J’ai cinq merveilleux chats, dont deux chatons en parfaite santé que j’ai élevés depuis leur naissance, ce qui m’a permis d’acquérir une expérience concrète des soins néonatals. Même si je ne possède pas d’expérience professionnels en garde d’animaux, j’ai une vie entière d’expérience personnelle avec les chats. Votre chat sera traité comme l’un des miens; aimé, câliné, stimulé par le jeu, et gardé heureux, en sécurité et confortable jusqu’à votre retour. Je serai également ravie de vous envoyer, sur demande, de jolies photos et vidéos, pour que vous ne manquiez aucun ronron. Parce que pour moi, les chats ne sont pas “juste des animaux”… ce sont des membres de la famille. [English] Due to some health issues / chronic illnesses I am home every day all day! I offer cat care from my home, where your cat/s will be absolutely adored and cared for. Currently my mom and I work as a team for visits / walks so our availabilities are after 6PM on weekdays and any time on weekends! [Français] En raison de certains problèmes de santé / maladies chroniques, je suis chez moi toute la journée, tous les jours! Je propose des services de garde de chats à domicile, où votre ou vos chats seront pris en charge avec le plus grand soin. Actuellement, ma mère et moi travaillons ensemble pour les visites et les promenades; nous sommes donc disponibles après 18h en semaine et à tout moment le week-end. [English] When I care for cats, my first priority is their comfort and well-being. I take the time to observe each cat’s unique personality and needs; whether they’re shy and reserved or outgoing and playful. I make sure they always have fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box, so their environment feels safe and welcoming. For social cats, I’m happy to offer gentle pets, soothing cuddles, and companionship. For playful ones, I bring out the toys and make sure they get the activity and stimulation they enjoy. I adapt to their pace and preferences, so they feel secure and understood. During my visits, your cat will always be my main focus. Cared for with patience, attentiveness, and love. [Français] Lorsque je m’occupe des chats, ma priorité est leur confort et leur bien-être. Je prends le temps d’observer la personnalité et les besoins uniques de chaque chat qu’ils soient timides et réservés ou sociables et énergétiques. Je veille toujours à ce qu’ils aient de la nourriture fraîche, de l’eau propre et une litière impeccable, afin que leur environnement soit sûr et accueillant. Pour les chats sociables, j’offre avec plaisir des caresses douces, des câlins réconfortants et de la compagnie. Pour les plus énergétiques, je sors les jouets et m’assure qu’ils aient l’activité et la stimulation qu’ils apprécient. Je m’adapte à leur rythme et à leurs préférences, afin qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et compris. Lors de mes visites, votre chat sera toujours ma priorité avec patience, attention et amour.

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
