Pet Sitting Oakbank

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company and comfortable in their routine. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and always follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions carefully. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel relaxed, loved, and treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home for most of the week and provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have flexibility in my schedule and can adjust my work hours when needed to help accommodate your fur baby’s routine, including walks, feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and medication schedules if required. I understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether your dog loves active play, relaxing naps, or lots of cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have a fully fenced yard with a park connected right behind my backyard, giving dogs plenty of space for safe outdoor time, play, and walks. It’s a great environment for dogs who enjoy fresh air, exploring, and getting their energy out in a secure area. I also have one small, friendly dog who can help keep your pup company and make them feel more comfortable during their stay. I always make sure pets are introduced carefully and supervised to ensure everyone feels safe, relaxed, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys playing with other dogs or prefers a calmer environment, I’ll do my best to make them feel at home and cared for like family.

“Carly was so grounded, calm and patient. It didn't take Jasper long to love her attention and care. We were overjoyed and confident to leave our dog in such loving and capable hands! Highly recommended.”

About: I am comfortable around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve dog sat for friends and family friends throughout the years. 16 years ago, I brought a puppy into my family home. From day one, my goal was to make sure he was loved and taken care of. Whether that was by walking him, feeding, or playtime. The same principle applies no matter what animal is under my care. I am very flexible during the month of August throughout the week and weekend. Come September, I’ll be at university during the day, but I would be more than happy to help out on weekends! I am only able to come to a client’s home. I can assure you that your animal and your space will be respected and taken care of to the best of my ability. Providing satisfactory service is my highest priority.

“Kaily did an amazing job with my dog and cat! She responds quickly, followed all instructions and it was clear the pets loved her! We appreciate your visit! Thank you”

About: I have only recently begun expanding who's animals I take care of but have been taking care of my personal pets all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, small mammals and amphibians. I have cared for all ages of pets including newborns and geriatric. I can handle administering medications of different sorts. I have first aid training, human and animal. If you have a specific way of doing things that you'd like continued I am more then happy to do so. My main concern is that your family member is well taken care of whether it be for an hour, a day or several days at a time. I have a schedule that is constantly changing. I am doing a training program come early 2025 so my schedule will be tighter than it is now but I will still try to arrange you to fit in. Keeping your pet safe is a big concern. I always check collars and leashes prior to use to ensure their functionality. I do have a dog who loves playing with others if yours needs a companion.

“Incredible to have over and watch my girls. It’s especially hard finding someone comfortable with Great Danes. Follows all care instructions and checks in during the visit.”

About: Experienced in caring for dogs from playful pups to wise seniors (8 weeks to 14+ years), I tailor my pet sitting and training services to meet your dog's specific needs. Whether it's positive reinforcement, leash training, or specialized commands, I ensure every pup receives the personalized attention and training they deserve. Rest easy knowing your furry friend is in skilled hands, receiving the care they need at every stage of life! As I navigate my job search, pet sitting offers a flexible and rewarding opportunity that seamlessly fits into my week. With my existing experience caring for various animals, I can provide loving and attentive care to your pets while earning an income. As a reliable pet sitter, I maintain open communication with you before, during, and after the pet sitting period. You can count on regular updates and check-ins, so you never have to worry about your furry family members. I respect and maintain your pets routines to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. This includes sticking to their feeding, playtime, and walking schedule. I’m mindful of your pets preferences and behaviors, adapting my care approach to fit their unique needs. This includes any specific training or care requirements you may have.

About: My husband and I have owned dogs for the past 15 plus years together, and our families both owned them for many years growing up. While he would not attend your home with me, I like everyone to know that our entire house is Pet lovers. My soft spot is for seniors, and dogs with varying degrees of health related issues. The ones that nobody wants and the often misunderstood ones. I have cared for a variety of breeds with varrying degrees of health issues. I have extensive experience in administering medications, IV fluids, intramuscular injections, eye drops, nail trims, and more. I have had 2 blind dogs (one of which had both of her eyes removed due to glaucoma), so am very familiar with their sometimes unique challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with little to no hearing, as well as ones with various levels of behavioral challenges, such as resource/food guarding, stranger/leash aggression, and more. As the owner of Manitoba's ONLY small animal rescue charity, I also have a wealth of knowledge and experience with exotic and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! While I love a good puppy cuddle, my heart belongs to the older four (or less!) legged friends, and I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members. Thanks to some amazing clients and word of mouth referrals, I was recently able to quit my corporate job to do pet sitting full time! I am so incredibly greatful for this new schedule, which allows me to dedicate as much time aa possible to caring for your furry family members. I love the idea of coming to your home to care for your pets, as it allows them to continue to feel safe and in a familiar environment. Following their regular routine helps make any time away from mom and dad as stress free as possible. Pets are never left outside unattended, and if you don't have a completely fenced yard, they will always be on a secure leash for potty breaks. If spending overnights in your home, I welcome the pets to share a sleeping space, or crate them as requested. Even if I do things different with my own pets, I want to ensure all of your rules and routines are followed while you are away.

About: ** Cat sitting available in your home, daily drop in visits. Dog sitting, in my home, considered on case by case basis based on compatibility with other pets and children ** I’ve had pets my entire life and have always cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I also have 17 years of professional animal care experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including nervous, fearful, stressed, reactive, and energetic dogs. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, administering medications, monitoring health and behaviour, and keeping animals safe and comfortable. I also have extensive experience with dog behaviour and training, socialization, obedience, positive reinforcement, and reading body language. I’m comfortable adapting my approach to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and always provide calm, patient, and attentive care. I’m a stay at home mom looking to slowly get back into the work place while doing what I love. I’m available most days and just need a day or two notice in advance. At this time I may not be able to provide in home boarding but I do have a large, fully fenced-in backyard where your dog can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I’ll always be outside with your dog to supervise and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outdoors.
