About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I currently separated from my kitty due to not having a pet friendly home so I would love to spend some time with your pets in your home! I can provide evening dog walking, and stay overnights. I have an early morning job but am usually available after 3pm and also available on my off days all day long! I have been caring for different animals for over 15 years including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, and lizards. I am extremely reliable and easy going, with tons of references on my abilities on house and pet care. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I currently work full time, but I have tons of time in the morning and evenings for dog-walking. I am also open to living in your home while you are away to take care of your pets. Or even drop in check-ins to ease your mind while you are away I am a very trustworthy, attentive care-giver. You will have nothing to worry about if I am taking care of your pets in your home. I have strong attention to detail and will always make sure everything is safe and protected while in my hands

About: I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers and a papillon) for 23 years, I love every dog I see, so dog care is definitely my thing. I am very accustomed to all types of dog behaviour, walking, feeding, giving medication, itchy paw care, and all other pet care associated with dogs. I'm a well seasoned dog caretaker and am very familiar with many types of challenges and hyper puppies. I currently do not have a day job, so I am very able to be a hands-on caretaker to your pet. Walking, feeding, and attentiveness are my main priority. The best way to make sure your pets feel safe, trusting, and comfortable is for me to continue on the daily routine they tend to follow. I'm very familiar with having to separate animals in different rooms, gates, stairs, feeding schedules and walking times. The best way I can give the utmost care for your companion is if you tell me exactly what you'd appreciate in terms of caretaking from me and I will make sure I do it exactly how you'd like in a way that is comfortable for you and you pet!

About: Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Kate, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers their own space, my goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps them comfortable while you're away. I believe every animal is an individual. I take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. I'm attentive to changes in behaviour, committed to following your care instructions closely, and happy to provide companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of affection tailored to your pet's personality. I've shared my life with cats since childhood and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs as well. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your animals with the same patience, kindness, and respect that I would want for my own, and I'll do my best to ensure you return to happy, well-cared-for companions. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of booking times. I'm generally available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I'll always do my best to work around your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, I believe consistency is key. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications (if discussed in advance), and plenty of attention suited to their personality. During visits, I'll make sure your home is left secure, your pet is safe and comfortable, and I'll keep an eye out for any changes in behaviour, appetite, or wellbeing. For dogs, I'm happy to provide short walks tailored to their age, energy level, and any health considerations. I'll always use the equipment you provide, avoid unnecessary risks, and respect any instructions you have regarding routines, triggers, or training. My goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care so both you and your pet can feel comfortable while you're apart.

“Holly was great with our 2 cats. She kept us up to date with detailed pictures and closely followed all instructions that we left. Our cats were happy and healthy and we would definitely book her again.”

My schedule is very flexible and open! While I have a few things planned throughout the summer I can always find time to care for your pets! I am available most days morning through night. I will always be whiling to take any dogs on longer walks in safe areas (to parks and on non busy roads).

I walk all the time at the dog parks just to play with others' dogs while getting my 10,000 steps. I'm based by the Governor Generals' House and Rockland area and am very flexible in my services and time. Happy to provide more information, meet your pets and you to see if we have a good fit. Dogs need to be happy with their caregivers and I understand this. I do yoga, meditation and Reiki and would be happy to talk about doing Reiki on your pet as well. Hope to hear from you all when the time is right. I can housesit and care for pets Friday to Mondays and I work Wednesdays and Thursdays in Sidney so can only do early morning and evening care on those days. Ask for references and I can provide a few that will be suitable. I'm happy to come to your home, housesit, water plants, feed and walk your pets during the week. I love to socialize with them and cuddle.

I'm available most week days & wknds! As an early riser, early morning requests are most likely be approved. I do work a FT day job but do my best to accommodate any requests. Regular walks + trips to the trails or mountains in the surrounding area. Frequent outdoor time for regular bathroom breaks and sniffaris. Apartment living in lush green surroundings, in a dog vibrant neighborhood. A 4 year old neutered male Boston Terrier named Mr. Pickles lives here full time.

“Stephanie is truly experienced and incredibly diligent. She took excellent care of my cat and went above and beyond by sending frequent updates, which really helped ease my nerves while I was away. She was very attentive and happy to follow even the smallest instructions to make sure my cat was comfortable and entertained during my absence. My cat is usually timid with strangers, but she seemed to feel comfortable with Stephanie almost immediately, which says a lot. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Rose, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for pets since I had my first cat at three years old, and my current little Yorkie is the absolute love of my life. I’ve also shared my home and cared for a senior dog who had diabetes, cataracts, and became blind, so I’m very experienced and comfortable with senior dog care, administering medications, and managing all the routines and special attention that come with supporting aging pets. From 2014 to 2021, I was deeply involved in the dog rescue and rehabilitation community in Mexico, working hands-on with both cats and dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. I gained extensive experience in dog training, especially with larger breeds and more challenging cases, learning how to read canine body language and create safe, supportive environments for every animal. I know pets are family, and my approach is always to care for your pet as if they were my own: with warmth, attentiveness, and respect for their unique needs and routines. Whether your companion is a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior needing medication and extra patience, you can trust me to provide responsible, compassionate care. I would love to meet your furry family member and help you feel at ease whenever you’re away. Please reach out if you have any questions or special instructions - I’m more than happy to accommodate all personalities, quirks, and care routines! As someone who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am almost always available to provide care and attention for your pets throughout the day. Taking my own dog for walks is truly the highlight of my day, and I love incorporating outdoor time and play into my routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer plenty of companionship, regular check-ins, and a calm, reassuring presence for pets who need a little extra comfort or attention. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, day-care, or overnight care, I can easily adapt my day to fit your pet’s needs, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for no matter what. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces, regular supervision, and lots of love. I maintain a clean, secure space - removing any hazards and making sure pets are never left unattended outdoors. My own dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and instructions closely, respecting your space and your pet’s unique needs. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I am attentive to details, mindful of doors, gates, and feeding routines, and always prioritize gentle handling and positive reinforcement. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as family: with patience, respect, and genuine care.
