House Sitting Pickering

“We recently hired Jahzara to care for our dogs while we were away, and she was fantastic! She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand to learn things about their routines , and we received regular updates and photos during our trip. Our dogs were happy and relaxed, which showed how well she cared for them. I highly recommend Jahzara for anyone needing a reliable pet sitter”

“Bronte was patient with our high anxiety dog and took the time to get to know her prior to sitting. She is very calm and gentle. She let us know our dog was fine and sent an update. I would recommend her!”

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ife! He stayed and our home with our dog (Rosie) while we were away was professional, caring, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages. Rosie was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Ife and would use his services again.”

“Claudia and Ken took wonderful care of Bruno at our home while we were away on a short family trip. We returned to a happy, well-loved pup—and it’s all thanks to their attentive and loving care. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos; they gave us such peace of mind knowing Bruno was in great hands. They spent quality time with him, keeping him cheerful and engaged, which means the world to us. We’re so grateful for their professionalism and kindnes.”

“I’m always a little nervous when Theo meets someone new & while he seemed a little indifferent towards Niroji when they first met, things got better. He was definitely better behaved while she was with him & she was very patient with how he can be. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs and cats before, sometimes for a few hours, but also for a week or more. Since I am semi-retired I have very flexible hours to care for you pets. Daytime walks are easy for me to fit in to my day since I currently don't work. No in home care provided at this time. I will treat your home and pets with respect and love as though they were my own.

“Vanessa was wonderful with our baby Ace! She sent us a bunch of updates and we truly appreciated it. Ace has gained a new bestie! Thank you so much Vanessa!”

“This was Erica’s second time sitting with Theo & it went just as well as the first, if not better. Her personality & experience are a perfect fit for Theo’s personality. She even got him to take his pills without any issue. I definitely will recommend her to others & hire her again.”

“Randy was great looking after our two cats. He stayed in our condo and left the place spotless. We were updated with pictures so we knew our littles ones we’re happy and being looked after. I would recommend Randy 100%!”

About: I'm very good at getting along with the pets and I'm expertise at being patient, calm and active. I've taken care of pets in the neighborhood and they are so happy with my service. I'm a student at Cape Breton university attending classes two days in a week which makes the rest of the week free, so I have plenty of time to take care of your loving pets with utmost care. I live in a newly renovated house with 2 other friends who are full time workers, we have a big beautiful backyard which your pet would love to play. Currently, I don't own any pets by myself thus the place clean and hygienic always and I can spend the whole time with your paw baby.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was about 3 years old, so understanding them comes very naturally to me. Over the years I’ve learned to read dog body language well, which helps me understand when a dog is relaxed, playful, nervous, or needs space. Because of this, I always approach dogs in a calm and respectful way and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my patience and attentiveness. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and personality so I can respond appropriately—whether that means giving them space, engaging them in play, or helping them settle down. I also understand what not to do around dogs, which helps avoid stress or uncomfortable situations for them. For me, caring for dogs is not just a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every dog with kindness, patience, and respect, just like I would treat my own. I work as an IT professional from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with pets during the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give dogs regular attention, playtime, and walks while making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’ve always loved dogs, and instead of getting one of my own right now, I enjoy caring for dogs in my neighborhood. It gives me the chance to spend time with them, understand their personalities, and make sure they get the attention and care they need. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy making dogs feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after while their owners are away. I live in an individual house with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for dogs to play and relax. I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have two pet-loving kids who understand how to interact gently with dogs, and all interactions are supervised to ensure the pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for pets, I follow the owner’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, so the dog feels relaxed and well cared for.

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for animals. Whether it's energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, adult pets who enjoy routine, or senior pets who require a gentler approach and extra attention, I adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their families. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Having pets in my home fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority, and being home most of the day means I can give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a retired sitter who is home most of the time, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's property, ensuring pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve while they're away.

“My husband and I had Mark house-sit our cat and dog for 2 weeks while we were away. For the first time when travelling, we did not worry about our pets. Mark was phenomenal with both our cat and dog. He sent us videos and pupdates daily so we were constantly in the loop. He sent us adorable uplifting videos of our fur babies living their best lives. He took our high-energy dog to the dog park regularly, took her on long hikes and even taught her some new tricks such as catching the ball in the air. He even organized some playdates for her and some of the other dogs he has watched over in the past. Mark left our house clean upon our return, he did the laundry and washed the towels after himself. I would 100/10 recommend his services and will book him anytime we go on vacation in the future (hopefully he will be available).”
