About: Hi guys, Thanks for checking out my profile! I love furry animals and am excited to meet yours! I recently moved back from Costa Rica where my family and I have rescued many dogs and cats from horrible places and gave them a home that they could enjoy and feel loved. I think they are beautiful creatures that we have been blessed with and it would be my pleasure to meet yours. I aim to make your pet feel at home with me by cuddling, playing and walking. Feel free to message or call and ask any questions. Currently i have as a school bus driver and some time in between. Can't wait to hear from you and hopefully take care of your furry baby! My schedule is quite open due to my job. I'd love to fill in my extra time with some dogs and cats! Plus my kid loves them! When pet sitting, I treat each pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding to playtime, and keep the home clean and secure. Regular updates help build trust and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Katrina take care of my dogs, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Katrina was outstanding in every aspect of her service. She followed all my instructions meticulously and went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were well taken care of. From the moment she arrived, it was evident that she has a natural affinity with animals. My dogs, who can be quite picky with strangers, immediately warmed up to her. She was patient, loving, and attentive to their needs. Thank you so much”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Throughout childhood, we always had 2-3 dogs in our household. I now have my own dog who I've had for 8 years, he's my absolute best friend! He's mostly blind but he doesnt let that diminish his love of life. He loves to go camping, hiking, to the beach, swimming, walks, hanging out with his humans and fur-cousins and getting in a good snuggle! I have dog-sat many furry friends and family members over the years! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, ages, etc! I've had experience with disabled, energetic, anxious, lazy, elderly dogs and more! I can walk, bathe & brush, administer medications, feed & water, car rides, beach trips, whatever your pup may need or want! 😊 I currently have lots of free time to spend with your fur babies, weekdays, weekends and holidays! I'm very passionate about pets and I would love to be able to give other pet parents the peace of mind while giving their pets exceptional care. I have a fully fenced in yard with 3 friendly dogs living in the residence. Two 8 year old and one 5 month old puppy. I'm familiar with crate training and have no problem upholding that in your household when I come over for visits!
About: As a loving pet owner for over 50 years, I consider every pet a true member of the family and pride myself on providing a warm, nurturing environment where your dog will feel right at home. Since I am retired, pet care is my daily routine! I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your dog, ensuring they get constant companion ship, frequent potty, breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, your dogs safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a completely fenced in yard where they can safely stretch their legs and I love taking dogs on daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored entirely to their pace and energy level. Because I am a retired and home full-time. I follow their usual feeding schedule exactly, provide frequent potty breaks and give them free rein of the house. They are welcome as part of the family meaning plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship all day long.
“Shelby has been an absolute joy to deal with, and a lifesaver at times! She has been super flexible with scheduling and my Great Dane has really taken a liking to her. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! My name is Shawna, I’m 30 years old, I work in Human Resources, and I LOVE animals! I truly believe that animals are the key to a happy life! I remember from a very young age being extremely interested in all things nature - rabbits, toads, birds, and of course cats and dogs! Each animal is so unique and incredible. Growing up, I was very fortunate to have the companionship of dogs and cats and the guidance of my mother to teach me how to love and care for each one with kindness and gentleness. I have pet sit for many family members and friends over the years and am currently a proud parent to our 6 year old rescue cat, Chico. Currently, we live in a house that doesn’t accommodate the room a dog needs to be happy and comfortable. I am however lucky to live in a neighbourhood with many friendly dogs always looking for a pet and care for my in-laws’ 12 year old yellow lab, Bella, on a regular basis! I understand that walking and play time is crucial in maintaining a healthy lifestyle for your furry friend. I guarantee that your dog will be well loved and protected while in my care. Our pets are our family, and this is a responsibility I will take incredibly seriously. I look forward to meeting with you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time but would be happy to assist on weekends and occasionally on weekdays if available. I make sure to focus solely on the animals when they are in my care! I make sure to ask you all the questions necessary for me to understand how to properly care for your furry family members! Understanding their routines is also important to ensure the best care!
About: I've had dogs since I was young, I've trained puppies, and have a huge passion for dogs. I love to be outside and going for walks! I have two kitties who I take care of. I make sure to clean their litter boxes daily, spend time playing and having enrichment time. At my dads farm we have 2 St. Bernards, a Flandoodle, and a Terrier Mix who all get lots of cuddles and love. I enjoy walking dogs and coming in to take care of cats! I offer lots of playtime and cuddles if needed, and know the ropes on how to keep dogs in check when we're out and about on walks!
About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and know how much they brighten a day. Whether it’s walks, play, or just company, I make sure they’re cared for and happy. Being a student gives me the flexibility to fit into your pup’s routine and keep things easy for both of you. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, most of Wednesday during the day, and weekends too. That makes it easy for me to fit in regular walks or quick check-ins when you need them. I take walks seriously and always put safety first, whether that means sticking to familiar routes, keeping a close eye on traffic, or matching your dog’s pace and energy. I’ll follow any instructions you give so you know your pup is in good hands.
