About: It all started with rabbits when I was a 4 year old. My dad bred them and we had well over 60 at one point. I had a pair of baby ducks when I was 8 years old. Then along came my budgie when I was 10. I have a lifelong experience of caring for many different types of pets. In the past I have had rabbits, ducks, a budgie, cockatiels, finches, rats, and aquariums. I took riding lessons as a teen and worked on the horse farm to pay for my lessons. I also have experience with exotic animals as I worked for a short time in a zoo. I have owned 5 dogs. A Husky (who lived to 15), an Australian Shepherd (who passed at age 12 from cancer), a sports mix - Border Collie/Staff/Russel (who passed at 14.5 from CHF), another Australian Shepherd (who passed at 11 from cancer), and I currently have a male Australian Shepherd. I work part time throughout the winter and have a tourism business during the summer. My work schedule is generally 4-6 hour days with a few off during the week. Your pet's care would fit in with my own pet's care. My dog is young and energetic and loves to play with other dogs. We hike most days in the woods surrounding the house. I have a pup who loves other dogs (he would have to come with me for overnight visits). He is playful and affectionate. I have 20 acres of woods to walk in (plus access to my neighbour's trails) and live on a small lake if your dog enjoys swimming. I am very knowledgeable in the care and training of animals, especially dogs and will be taking a first aide course when one comes available. I am very diligent about keeping dogs away from the road and they are always on a leash or longline.
About: I have experience with small and large dogs both reactive and friendly. Know how to approach resolutions when issues arise. Love each animal as if it is my own. I have a very flexible and open schedule with lots of time to care for your furry loved ones. With a consistent wake and sleep routine to let pets out regularly. I have close access to a walking trail, for both on and off leash walking. A grassy yard, no other pets in the home. Lots of room in the home and responsible habits for keeping things off counters and out of reach
“Would absolutely book again. Kayleigh was very informative about our cats - their behaviour, habits, energy levels, etc. - through descriptions and pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort being away from them for so long.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and I have lots of experience looking after your furry friends! Currently, I have a golden retriever and a rescue dog of my own. I have experience working in a vet clinic with dogs and cats for 2 years. I've also worked for a doggy day care centre for 2 years. I was in charge of walking, feeding, playing and of course snuggling with the dogs :) My grandmother bred Wheaten Terriers as well, so growing up I also had a lot of puppy experience! I love walking with my own dogs and would love the opportunity to look after your dogs too! All kinds of dogs welcome-I'm your ultimutt dog lover! Currently, I should be available most days and some weekends for dog walking, house-sitting and drop-in visits! If you are away or need your pet(s) looked after, just send me a message to sort something out :) I will ensure your dog is well looked after in your home! I will make sure they get lots of exercise and cuddle time! If you need to go away for a weekend, do not worry-they will be in safe hands!
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved being around animals. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and care. I’m currently finishing my summer semester of school, I’m hoping to get a remote job so I can work from anywhere while taking care of your pets! As of now I have wide open availability! I am available in Battersea, Bath and Kingston! I am super open to helping you and your little critters from those areas and surrounding as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and household rules. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a safe environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I’m committed to being reliable, attentive, and communicative. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for my own dogs and cats for many years, while also fostering numerous animals with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I have experience supporting medically fragile pets, including administering insulin, inhalers, oral medications, and providing care for senior or incontinent animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra medical support, a calm environment, or simply lots of affection and attention, I’m committed to maintaining their routine and comfort every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. I'm very lucky to work remotely and can set up a workspace anywhere there's an internet connection. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks or visits anytime. I have a large yard and one big friendly dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets but is also good at giving space to those who need it. He's great at reading social queues from other pups and cats. I live on a quiet country road that makes for great walks. I tend to let our dog on our furniture but are fine to keep to your rules for furniture. In your home, I'll follow your set routine for your pets.
