Dog Sitting Pickering

About: I can take great care of your dog — no matter their age, size, or personality. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from tiny newborn pups to sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable with everything from cuddly lap dogs to more reactive or nervous pups who need extra patience and understanding. Your dog will be safe, loved, and treated like family with me. I know how to read canine body language, handle different temperaments, and keep pets calm, happy, and secure. Whether your dog wants snuggles, structure, playtime, or space, I adjust to what they need. I’d love the chance to care for your pup and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! I currently own my own art business so I can work my schedule around your schedule! I am very flexible with how I run my business. You let me know your boundaries and I am more than capable making sure you can trust me. I can provide a criminal background check a whatever other references you need to feel okay letting me get to know your pet in your home.

About: Mira - I have owned my own pets at a young age from fishes to pocket pets and dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. I graduated in the Animal Care program and currently work as a Vet Assistant at an animal hospital where I work with both cats and dogs and handle emergency to non-urgent cases.I have a good understanding of pets needs (i.e. caring for senior pets, medical concerns, specialized diet, etc.) I used to do dog walking as well. Charles and I are both pet lovers on top of my own experiences. Mira works 8hr shifts on the weekdays and is usually free on weekends. Charles is a nurse and does shift work, so he is available weekdays and weekends depending on his schedule. We do try our best to make our schedule work with your pet but there may be times where your pet may have to be alone for 8hrs due to our work schedule. If a drop off or pick up is needed, please let us know so we can arrange something! Your pets comfort and safety is our number one priority. We currently live in a large one bedroom apartment with no pets. Although we don’t have a backyard, we enjoy one on one time with the pet we’re caring for and will always try to bring them on mini supervised adventures (mainly walks on trails unless the owner specifies something different!) Ideally we don’t allow dogs to meet with other dogs unless specified. We take care of one pet at a time unless from the same household. If you would like to meet in person beforehand to make sure your pet and us are a good fit, feel free to message us for arrangements.

About: my extensive experience working with a variety of pets, including cats and dogs. I understand the unique needs and personalities of each animal and can provide tailored care and attention to ensure their comfort and happiness while you're away. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to ensure they feel fully informed and confident in the care their beloved pets are receiving I’m currently have a full time job, but I have enough time to take care of pets after work, and full time available when during the weekends I currently live in a condo, when I have time I always bring my dog outside for fun. When in weekdays, I will bring my dog out for at least twice a day, and more than one hour play time at night. When in weekends, I’ll bring my dog go to trails and swimming at summer :)

About: I've cared for both small and large dogs, from teacup Shih Tzus to German Shepherds. I love going on long walks, playing, and making sure every dog gets plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of one on one attention to help your pet feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other specific care your pet requires. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. As a Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, which helps dogs feel comfortable and safe around me—especially those who may be shy or need a little extra time to warm up. I focus on creating a positive experience for each dog, whether that means energetic walks for active dogs or slower, gentle walks for senior dogs. I also make sure to follow the owner’s routine closely so pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing, and I’m very reliable when it comes to timing and communication. My goal is not just to walk or care for your dog, but to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my weekly routine. While I work full-time during the weekdays, I dedicate my weekends to dog walking and pet care, ensuring I have the time and energy to give each pet proper attention. On weekends, I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide reliable and consistent care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with the dogs. As a dog owner myself, caring for my Golden Retriever Cherry is already a part of my daily life, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after. I make sure to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and time they deserve. I provide attentive and safe care tailored to each pet’s needs. At the client’s home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, and any medications. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space and send regular photo or video updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe. At my home (if offering house sitting or drop-in care): I create a calm, friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration. I supervise pets closely, provide affection and mental stimulation, and maintain their usual routines as much as possible so they feel secure and loved. My priority is always the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care.

About: PET CARE EXPERIENCE IN BC TILL OCTOBER 10 FOR CLIENTS IN NEED OF LAST MINUTE SUPPORT. I’ve been around animals my whole life - from dogs to hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and cats. I have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with gentle handling, enclosure cleaning, basic feeding routines, and adjusting care to each pet’s energy, behavior, and routine. I genuinely enjoy learning each animal’s quirks and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, stimulated, and happy. With dogs, I like to incorporate mental enrichment through games and basic trick training - but only if you’re comfortable with it. I use hand gestures paired with verbal cues for clear, positive communication. Some fun commands I’ve worked on include: • “Statue” – freeze in place • “Quiet” – settle and stay calm • “Kiss” – stand still and allow a gentle kiss on the top of the pup’s head • “Out” / “Get your toy” / “In” – for toy retrieval and clean-up routines I previously offered in-home boarding but now focus solely on caring for pets in their own homes. That experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m reopening my availability and excited to welcome new clients again. I’ve worked with pet parents through Rover and personal referrals, and I’m committed to providing dependable, respectful care. I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which gives me the availability to prioritize pet care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is energetic or reserved, I follow their routine, respect their personality, and ensure they feel safe, mentally engaged, and cared for while you’re away. SCHEDULE I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which allows me to fit pet care smoothly into my weekly routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Since I don’t work a traditional 9–5, I can provide attentive, reliable care — whether that’s multiple visits per day or overnight stays in your home. Your pet will always have someone calm, present, and focused on their comfort and routine. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay relaxed and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and downtime — so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I used to offer boarding in my home and have experience creating safe, calm spaces for pets. While I no longer board animals at my own residence, that experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and respond to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. I take pet care seriously and treat every home with respect — I’m clean, mindful of your space, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

About: 🐾 Dogs Are a Big Part of My Life Dogs have always been a huge part of my life; not just Bettie! Many of my friends and family have dogs, so she and I are constantly surrounded by furry friends of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I regularly take Bettie to dog parks, hikes, and dog-friendly adventures, giving her plenty of opportunities to socialize and interact with other dogs. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable reading different dog personalities, understanding their boundaries, and recognizing when a pup wants to play, needs space, or just needs a little extra reassurance. Between caring for Bettie for the past five years and being surrounded by dogs through my friends and family, I’ve developed a genuine understanding of how different every dog can be. Whether your pup is social and playful, shy and cautious, energetic, quirky, or a senior enjoying a slower pace, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at ❤️ Your dog’s comfort and happiness come first, and I’d love to give them the same love, patience, and attention I give Bettie 🐶🐾 As Bettie has gotten older, I’ve become diligent about keeping her routine consistent and paying close attention to her meals, exercise, energy levels, comfort, and overall behaviour. We have regular walks, hikes, playtime, and lots of cuddles, while I also make time for dog parks and socializing with other pups I focus on making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m very attentive to body language and individual cues, so I can recognize when a dog is excited, nervous, tired, or needs some extra patience. During walks, I’m happy to match their pace and energy level, whether they’re looking for an active adventure or a relaxed stroll. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit or walk, so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away
