“Ryan was great with drop in visits for Briggs who is recovering from surgery. He accommodated a last minute meet and greet before the booking. Friendly and reliable. It was a relief to know Briggs was well looked after.”
“Paige is AMAZING!!! From the first impression to the last, Paige is a GEM. So thankful to have found her to watch over our kitty while we were away. When we decided to extend our trip a little longer she didn't hesitate to add additional days to our service. The pictures were great to keep us updated and the communication is top notch. Highly recommend Paige!! We'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I am a long-time pet lover and owner! I've had large and small dogs along with cats over my life. I had a large dog (Rottweiler 98lbs) with aggression issues, so I'm not put off by a little attitude from your pet. Every animal has its own personality just like humans. I am certified in Canine First Aid and have Dog Behaviour (basic), Dog to Dog Aggression, Canine Separation Anxiety, Daycare & Group Play Assessment and Dog Walking Certification course training. I lost my pet recently from cancer and am not ready to readopt yet. I promise I will love and care for your pet as my own. I promise to be very respectful and tidy while in/around your home. I feel that communication is very important while pet parents are away, so I like to give updates and photos of our adventures. I am Oakville born and raised. I went to St.Mildred's & OTHS then studied at George Brown College. I live in Old Oakville. I am an activist on animal rights and do what I can to help ALL animals. You may find me at a protest or rally fighting for the rights of all animals on the weekends. I am very close with my family so don't be surprised if you see my folks at the house hanging out. I grew up in an animal house and my folks love animals also but don't have any pets right now either. I would love a chance to meet you and your pet family! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :) I am a pet sitting Professional!! That's what I do!! I take care and love your pet like it was my own. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can and they usually love the little adventures. I also have a car so we can go to a mix of parks. I live at a house with my parents with nice little yard and a park right out front. This makes it easy for quick walk and lots of good smell to keep the dog cognitive arousal fulfilled. There is an abundance of parks around me.
“Emma is the best!!! We had her drop in twice a day to feed and play with our cat Charlie, and with every visit she would send us messages, pictures and videos. Charlie was in great hands, and it made our vacation stress free knowing Emma was looking after him. Thank you so much Emma!”
“Guangxu was a pleasure to have as a pet sitter for the two weeks I was away on vacation. He is very attentive, friendly and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond for my cat, always taking the best care of him while providing extra updates and pictures/videos. Thank you!”
“Leaving your pets in the care of someone you don’t know can be stressful but Macy made it easy! We appreciated the great communication, daily updates and photos, and how friendly she was. We will definitely book with her in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. Whether it be my grandmas, our families or friends, I have been responsible to walk, feed and bathe them for years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to take breaks during work hours to walk your pups or as well as in the early morning or evening. Establishing trust between myself and the dog is the most important. Firstly, I stay calm and allow for some time and space to reassure them I’m not threatening and establish familiarity. I provide regular check-ins for ease of mind and work to establish a regular routine for the animals in my care. I am passionate about animal care and find it sincerely therapeutic.
“Karling dropped in a few times to take care of my bunny Parsley while I was gone for the weekend. She was super responsive to messages and really attentive to any specific care instructions i left for her. I felt so at ease leaving Parsley in her care, and looking at the photos and report cards Parsley seemed to be quite happy too! Thank you so much Karling, from the both of us! 🐰”
About: I’m a pet lover and dog enthusiast. I’ve had a golden doodle for 15 years, and I took him on daily walks, gave him baths, and took him to the veterinarian for medication. I will give any dog I care for for a client the utmost care, respect, and cuddles. I work in a retail store for 28 hours a week and I have two days off in the week that I can take care of your pet I will take care of your pet by feeding him, taking him on daily walks and and playing with him and giving him love and affection
“Adrianna took excellent care of our cat while we were on vacation. She sent us updates and photos twice a day. We were very impressed with how clean and tidy she left everything. Our cat enjoyed her time with Adrianna immensely.”
“I have a very old kitty with some health concerns, so needless to say I’m extremely anxious when I have to leave her. Brittany did an amazing job taking care of Oreo while I was gone. She was tasked with giving four different medications to my cat (not an easy task) and went above and beyond to make sure Oreo would take them all. When Oreo halfway through my trip decided she would no longer take her pills normally, Brittany found a compassionate and creative solution that worked wonderfully. She stayed beyond our scheduled time when Oreo started to get sick, and even came in extra times throughout the day without prompt to give her some extra care. Brittany was also very patient, kind, and very quick to respond when I had any questions or concerns about Oreo. You can rest assured that Brittany is very knowledgeable, experienced with giving medication, and truly cares about your pets well-being.”
About: I took great care of my girl who lived to 16! Been missing her and our daily walks. I used to walk neighbourhood dogs and cat-sit for some friends of mine. I’m looking to care for your pets through walks, house visits or sitting! I am currently working part-time, mostly nights, preparing to start my masters in psychotherapy :) I have a lot of availability during the day, if you need someone to walk your dog/care for your cats throughout the day. Message me for any specific days/times you may need and we can work something out :) I can ensure your dogs/cats safety through frequent check-in’s, sending photos of how your pet is doing! I currently do not have any animals at my house, as my pup passed in February, we can work out details on how you’d want to ensure trust between you, me and your pet!
About: Most of my pet care experiences are from owning lizard and fishes. But 5 months ago, I started dog walking and I recently adopted a cat and I realized how much I enjoyed being around furry friends ✨️😊 Since it's my summer break from college, I would love to use this as opportunity to enjoy my summer break with furry friends while earning money. When I'm walking my dog client, I make sure he gets his exercise by playing catch, walking, playing with other dogs, exploring, and I make sure to keep him safe. I make sure my cat at home also gets his playtime with me, make sure his bowls are cleaned every time I refill his bowl for food and water 😊
