15. Samantha C.
About: Hello! My name is Samantha, and I’m a passionate dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Growing up, I had the privilege of being around two wonderful dogs, where I played an active role in their care. From feeding and walking to cleaning up after them, I learned the ropes of dog care early on! Currently, I have adopted a 4-year-old Chihuahua Pug named Wawa, and I’m his sole caretaker. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the responsibilities involved in meeting a dog’s emotional and physical needs. In addition, I have experience fostering puppies, which has further sharpened my skills in caring for dogs of all ages. Whether your dog needs daily walks, feeding, or just some extra love and attention, I am here to provide a safe and caring environment for them while you’re away. Let me offer your dog the same level of care and attention that I give to my own furry companion! I currently work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to offer frequent potty breaks and play time whenever needed! With my pup at home as well, yours will always have a companion at my home and will never be bored :) I live in a quiet condo with my pup, where they have full access to the living room and the couch. My dog loves having company and enjoys playtime with other puppies, so if your dog is social too, they’ll get along great! My dog is also fully crate trained, which means your pup will have their own space whenever needed. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.


16. Cagla A.
About: With two beloved dogs by my side and a lifetime surrounded by canine companions, my pet-care journey is infused with genuine love and understanding. Your pets’ happiness is my heartfelt commitment. Balancing remote work, my flexible schedule integrates pet care effortlessly. My husband and I share a love for animals, evident from the 2 cats and 2 dogs we had in our native country. Moving to Canada meant leaving them with family, and this job serves as a heartfelt connection to our pets, soothing the longing for their companionship. In both my home and my client's, I prioritize safety by creating a pet-friendly environment. Trust is built through open communication and adherence to specific care instructions. Whether in my space or theirs, I ensure a secure and comfortable setting tailored to each pet's needs. Recognizing that each animal has unique characteristics and special needs, I believe in adapting my care approach to suit their individual personalities, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience.
