Falin did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. Our kitty can be a bit standoff-ish, and Falin made sure to respect her space while also making sure she was well cared for. Thanks Falin!

Logan was very quick and easy to communicate with. Was a nice companion for my dog Rudy to get to know and now has another reliable human that will take him on his daily need of long walks or a swim when it's hot.

Mason is an exceptional sitter! I entrusted my dogs and cat to his care, and he worked well with them. He was on time and kept communication open with me if there was going to be a timing issue. Followed instructions well. Considerate. I recommend his pet sitting services.

About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.

About: I have worked with all sorts of animals from porcupines to dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and my biggest passion. I have volunteered with rescues, worked at a wildlife rescue, have pet sit/walk and worked at the Alta vista animal hospital. I have a dog, 2 cats and a bunny at home and have cared for all sorts of pets. I am the mother of a dog, 2 cats and a bunny so my days are spent playing with my pets, nurturing them and running around the yard with my puppy. I go on walks with my dog and play fetch with him. Our pets are always well taken care of and are part of the family. I will make sure to keep all doors and windows closed to prevent your pet from running away. Walking on leash at all times unless otherwise instructed. Being aware of animals whereabouts at all times.

Shreema took amazing care of my cat Shuggie. He NEVER comes out for strangers but he came out for her and was comfortable and affectionate! I truly believe she's a cat whisperer. I recommend her to anyone who wants a sweet, compassionate person to care for their animals, especially cats who are shy and skittish like my boy. 11/10 will be asking her to check on Shuggie in the future 😻
