Cat Sitting Port Hope

About: With 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behaviour, comfort, and routine, whether that means keeping high‑energy pups engaged or helping senior dogs feel safe and supported. I’m experienced in administering insulin to diabetic dogs, as well as giving oral medications and eye drops with calm, confident handling. I know how important it is for pets with medical needs to have someone who is both gentle and precise, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach to care is rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. From daily walks and structured playtime to maintaining feeding schedules and monitoring overall well‑being, I make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and cared for like family. I’m currently retired and looking to fill my time caring for your pups and kitties I’m available most days in the week and a quite flexible with my schedule. I have a clean, smoke-free home. My yard is not fenced but will be walking your pups on leash. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

About: I grew up with German Shepherds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. From an early age, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and enjoy giving pets the attention, care, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. More recently, I’ve been on my own puppy journey with the newest addition to my household, who is now 2 years old. Through that experience, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppies, including routines, training reinforcement, exercise, and the patience and attention young dogs need as they grow. I have a flexible schedule and am currently offering pet care part-time during evenings and weekends. Whether you’re heading out of town overnight, working late, or simply need some extra time for yourself, I’m here to help provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I’ll be starting out by offering dog walking services only. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive walks and companionship for your pup while helping them stay active, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or a break during the day, I’m here to help.

About: I’m an Honours Zoology graduate from the University of Guelph with a lifelong passion for animal care. I currently have two cats and three dogs, and I’ve grown up caring for both throughout my life. While I love all animals, I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality—whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or love attention. My volunteer experience in a veterinary clinic also taught me to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, patient care. Whether I’m caring for your cat or dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate bookings throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute requests when available. This flexibility means I can spend quality time with your pet and work around the routine that’s best for them. I understand that inviting someone into your home or trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and do my best to maintain the routine your pet is familiar with. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Roni is an attentive, reliable & affectionate cat-minder. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in charge of our two cats, Levi & Edgar. It was an assured pleasure having her assistance”

“It's always difficult for me to leave my babies behind during holidays, but I left knowing that they were in excellent hands while I was gone. I received daily messages regarding how they were doing and multiple pictures/videos daily. Highly recommended!!!”

Rachel V.

“Fantastic, went above and beyond and made my cats time as comfortable as could be while we were away. I would definitely recommend Emily and use her services again!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets, and spending time with them is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s slow morning walks, playtime, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.

“Jessica was able to do a last minute drop-in for my and my three cats. She went above and beyond in her service. She was quick to reply to my messages and sent me a detailed update on how the visit went. I look forward to booking with her again.”

I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Maya was wonderful. I usually don’t need someone to care for my big baby of a lab because my neighbour takes care of her when we are away but I was in a pinch and I am so grateful I found Maya. She was punctual, took the cutest pictured of my dog, and relayed information I might need. My dog got into some of my kids candy while we were gone and Maya noticed and put it up so she couldn’t get it anymore.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve spent time working with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra patience, and closer attention to their comfort and health. I’m confident managing different personalities and needs — from energetic young dogs who benefit from consistency and structure, to older pets who may require medication, gentle handling, or extra monitoring. I also pay close attention to behaviour, eating habits, and overall wellbeing so small changes don’t go unnoticed. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease through clear communication and regular updates. As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy fitting into my routine. During the week, I’m available in the evenings for visits, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets after work. Weekends offer even more flexibility, allowing me to spend extra time making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. At home, I care for my own pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, exercise, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and know what to expect in their daily routine. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I prioritize maintaining the routines they’re used to so they feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep litter boxes or living areas clean, and make sure each pet gets the attention they need based on their personality. I also treat every home with respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I've loved dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was very little. I've personally owned and trained two puppies, assisted with my senior dog growing up, and have fostered dogs through my local humane society. I utilize positive reinforcement training and give every animal I know the most love I possibly can. I also have experience with cats and would be happy to help with your feline friends!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

“Vanessa was so wonderful with our cats, Piper and Chewy. She sent us pictures and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. We felt really safe leaving them in her care and would again. Thank you Vanessa!”

About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.
