“I am so happy we found Jahzara ! I am an anxious millennial and worry 24/7 about our cats. From the first moment she was the loveliest, kindest, and most understanding of our cats' individual personalities. I will absolutely ask her to take care of them again. Thank you for all you did”

“This is the second time we have booked Xuefeng to take care of our two cats and yet again she did a fantastic job! They were very comfortable around her and she sent us lots of pictures. She took great care of our house and followed all instructions carefully. We are so glad to have met her and will absolutely book her again! Your kitties will be in great hands 🫶🏼”

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personality, and needs, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including walks, feeding, medication routines, and maintaining their usual schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My work schedule is Sunday through Wednesday, which means I’m off Thursday through Saturday. This gives me three consecutive days off each week, allowing me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dedicated care, walks, playtime, and attention to your pets. I’m also happy to discuss scheduling in advance to make sure it works well for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home environment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and supervision. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility, so I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs (and cats) for over 20 years, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience training dogs and reinforcing good habits and basic commands. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting to each dog’s personality, routine, and energy level. I work remotely and am only in the office 2 days a week. I lost my 10 year old shepherd last month and have lots of free time and love to give. I have a fenced yard with turf (artificial) grass, no other dogs or pets, and keep the environment 100% safe for any animals. I always supervise pets while outside and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me.
“Alysa has been doing drop-ins for my puppy for the past couple of months. She has been reliable and very responsive. I can tell she really enjoys spending time with my dog and truly cares for him. I highly recommend her!”

About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
“Cassandra was a wonderful sitter for our kitten Maisie while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She provided terrific updates and photos of all the fun activities that she and Maisie got up to. It was clear that Maisie was very well looked after and I would definitely use Cassandra's services again.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have my own dog, whom I’ve trained and care for every day, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient and responsible, and I'll treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in Teachers College, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love staying active and working out, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise with your pet while also giving them lots of attention and care. Some things to note about my schedule: As mentioned, I am currently in teachers college. I’m in a placement from September 21–October 26, Monday–Friday from 9:00–3:30, but I do have an hour lunch break each day, so I may be able to work something out depending on what time you’re looking for. I’ll also be away for school November 14–December 18 to which I won’t be available. Then I’ll have another placement January–February. Outside of those times, I have more flexibility. I’ll provide care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep up with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, while giving them lots of attention and making sure their home is kept clean and secure.
About: I am a lifelong pet lover who has been a proud owner of cats and dogs for over 15 years. My passion for animals began in childhood and has only grown stronger with time. I believe that pets are an integral part of the family and should be treated with love, respect, and care. Experience: I have owned pets for over 15 years and have extensive experience caring for cats and dogs. Throughout the years, I have provided my pets with daily exercise, proper nutrition, and plenty of affection. I have also dealt with various health issues and emergencies, including administering medication, treating wounds, and taking my pets to the vet. As a part-time pet sitter, I integrate pet care into my schedule by setting aside specific blocks of time each week to devote to my clients' pets. I make sure to communicate with pet owners about their pet's needs and schedule, so I can plan accordingly. For example, if a pet needs to be fed at a specific time, I will ensure that I am available during that window. I also try to be flexible and willing to work around the schedules of both the pet and the owner. Overall, while pet care is not my full-time job, I take my role and work hard to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. This may include setting up a designated space for them to sleep, eat, and play, and ensuring that the area is clean and free of any potential hazards. I provide them with food and water as needed, and make sure that they receive plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. Depending on the pet, I may also need to administer medication or tend to any special needs they have. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner and make sure to maintain their routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at the specified times, taking them for walks or playtime, and providing them with any necessary medication or treatment. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and tidy, including cleaning litter boxes or picking up after the pet on walks. Throughout my time with the pet, I provide them with love and attention to ensure that they feel comfortable and at ease in their surroundings. In both situations, I keep open communication with the pet owner to provide updates on how their pet is doing and address any concerns they may have. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the pets in my care and to ensure that their physical and emotional needs are met to the best of my ability.
About: With veterinary clinic experience, I provide attentive, compassionate care, personalized updates, medication administration, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment where your pets feel loved and secure. Pet care is part of my daily routine. With veterinary clinic experience, I provide dependable, personalized care, enrichment, medication support, and regular updates for every pet. I follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, playtime, anxiety free, enrichment, medication if needed, clean spaces and low stress care tailored to their individual needs.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child but have actively babysat and looked after dogs for the last three years, with one of those years being for my own dog. I am accustomed to teaching tricks, potty training, crate training, gentle parenting, positive reinforcement and enrichment activities with dogs. I also groom my dog at home, from bathing to blowdrying — from trimming nails to quick face and paw touch ups. I mostly work from home and with a spacious living space as well as instant access to my backyard, I am able to take care of you fur baby's needs within a moments notice. Taking multiple breaks to help relieve or unwind your pup with a walk is no problem by me. I currently do this for my own pup and see this as no problem for yours. I am free most evenings, weekends and holidays as well; I am flexible with when you'd like to start/end your time with me. I have a large fenced backyard and a playful one year old bichon mix who loves the company of other pups. I have a few dog beds as well as a potential space I can fence/crate your pup, should they need that sort of space while boarding. I don't mind sharing with you photos and videos through out the day to help give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care. If you have specific requests or training, please feel free to share; I will do my best to accommodate you.
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: Hey there fellow animal lover! I'm Mitzi and I grew up with dogs and cats and I guess you could say that it was quite an energetic family with all the spaces in between. I'm a psychology major and love learning about each of their needs and personality traits. With every interaction I get to know more about their preferences, desires and dislikes so that I can tailor the experience uniquely to them! I'm currently taking a break from university to help out with my community. My availability is all week, every day with my full time schedule at home. I have a fenced backyard with greenspaces. I'm located near two parks and the waterfront at Lake Ontario! The place is minimalist with lots of space for your pet to roam and rest.
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.

“When you meet Denell, you can see she’s an animal lover and pets love her too. She took very good care of our two cats for the week we needed her. She was attentive to them, communicated with me through the week, and also shared photos. I highly recommend her and we will be calling on Denell again.”

Alexa and Andrew were fantastic! My 2 dogs can be so guarded with new people, but they knew how to manage their difficult behaviour. I was a little anxious at first, but Alexa and Andrew were very calm and reassuring. Somehow, they were able to get cuddles from my senior pups! I was so impressed seeing the photos! I very much appreciated their punctuality, their thorough updates, and working knowledge with the doggos. They are a great team! 100% would rebook again!

Alexa and Andrew are so amazing! We cannot say enough good things about our dog sitters. They are incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely care about our dog. Their communication is outstanding—they send frequent updates and so many photos, which gives us total peace of mind. It’s clear how attentive and thoughtful they are, and we trust them completely with our dog. We feel so lucky to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care.
