About: I treat all animals like they are my own which includes buying them treats and toys during long term stays or consistent drop in visits. I've been taking care of pets since I was 7 years old. I love getting to know animals personalities and building a special bond with them. I am used to giving pets medicine via pills and oral syringes. It's important to me that all pets get their exercise and are reinforced for positive behaviour. My partner Joshua often helps me with pet sitting when approved by the owners :) My schedule is extremely flexible! I often teach online or in person for 3 hours. My Partner Joshua has been helping me pet sit for over two years. The rest of my work can be done remotely which gives me a lot of extra time throughout the day to walk and play with your pets. It is important to me that I follow the detailed instructions left to me. Getting to know the animals personality is important because it helps make me and the animals comfortable. I like to provide pets with a chance to sniff me when we first meet, as well as give them treats and pets to help them trust me. Spending regular time with your pets helps them develop trust. I am used to cleaning up after animal accidents. Lastly, I always leave your home cleaner than how I found it :)
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes—from giant breeds to small dogs—including those with behavioral challenges. This experience has taught me how to read dog body language, stay calm in unpredictable situations, and tailor each walk to a dog’s individual needs. I understand that not every dog fits a “one-size-fits-all” approach, and I prioritize safety, patience, and positive experiences. Your dog will be walked with care, consistency, and the same respect I give my own. Currently I am completing a contract for a company, so I am available Friday through Monday all day. Tuesday through Thiursday I am occupied from 11-4. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely to keep your pet comfortable and secure. I tailor care to each dog’s needs, energy level, and behavior, and prioritize calm, safe walks with positive reinforcement. In your home, I respect your space and maintain consistency with feeding, medications, and care instructions so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for.

About: Note: I´m flexible and happy to travel (in BC/AB) - longer stays preferred. I can gladly provide excellent references from other Petsitting platforms (11 petsits) and Workaway (3 petsits). Feel free to reach out - I’d be happy to chat and share more! --------- I’ve had the chance to care for several homes and beloved pets in Canada since June 2025. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling experience so far, I have already worked with 10 workaway hosts on totally different projects, each stay was a unique experience. I take pride in being gentle, reliable, and tuned in to each animal’s unique personality. In September 2025, I spent an entire month volunteering at an animal farm sanctuary, where I learned a great deal about rescued animals and those with special needs. It was a deeply enriching experience that expanded my understanding of more than ten different farm animal species. I care deeply about treating every animal with respect and love, and I always take time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I´m a work and traveller from Germany, I finished my bachelors degree in business psychology in November 2025. I'm on the way to start my own remote business, so I´m very flexible about caring for your pets. As a traveling petsitter and workaway, I adapt quickly to new environments and routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping the house clean and cozy, I treat every place as if it were my own. I love creating a calm and loving environment for pets while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to help with extra tasks like watering plants or garden work. Only smoke & vapefree households.
About: I’ve had pets from dogs, cats, etc since I was a baby. I absolutely adore every single animal and have volunteered at farms and petting zoos before, including spending time at farms internationally. I have experience taking care of other peoples dogs, cats and smaller animals. I have two dogs and two cats that I take care of myself with my parents and I regularly pet sit off of Rover.
