“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”

About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed

About: I have 2 dogs (golden doodles), ive been taking care of them for the past 11 years. I walk them 3 times a day, bath and cut their hair myself. With my 2 dogs, I walk them morning, afternoon and night, I always find a way to squeeze them around my schedule. I can do the same for you. I care for pets by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, comfort, and respect. I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

“Manon a pris grand soin de Boogie, elle lui a appris des nouveaux tours, a tenté d'améliorer sa réactivité et elle a joué avec lui. Manon a aussi administré les médicaments et a fait vivre des belles nouvelles expériences à Boogie. Dès qu'on la rencontre, on voit qu'elle a le tour avec les chiens et qu'elle les adore ! Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos pendant notre voyage ce qui a été très apprécié. J'ai été en confiance avec Manon, elle est d'une spontanéité accueillante et déborde d'énergie. Et elle est aussi très respectueuse de la maison, à notre retour c'était impeccable! Merci Manon!”

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”

I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time.

About: Une version française suivra. English / Anglais Experience and passion for animals I’ve had animals almost all my life, mainly dogs and cats. I grew up with different dog breeds, often large dogs such as St. Bernards and a German Shepherd. From a young age, I learned the basics of obedience and training, and I have also helped train dogs that had never been trained before. I love spending time with them and discovering their unique personalities. Care and attention I am very comfortable with all aspects of daily care: giving medication (even to large dogs), trimming nails, brushing, playing, and providing affection. I also have experience with laying hens. I cared for a cat during two extended absences of its owner, totaling five weeks, and I even taught him to play with toys for the first time! Seeing animals happy and fulfilled is my greatest joy. Commitment and reliability Animal welfare is at the heart of everything I do. I always ensure that pets receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust me to take care of your companions as if they were my own. Français / French Expérience et passion pour les animaux J’ai eu des animaux presque toute ma vie, principalement des chiens et des chats. J’ai grandi avec différentes races de chiens, souvent de grande taille, comme des Saint-Bernard et un berger allemand. Dès mon plus jeune âge, j’ai appris les bases de l’obéissance et du dressage, et j’ai également aidé à entraîner des chiens qui n’avaient jamais été dressés. J’adore passer du temps avec eux et découvrir leur personnalité unique. Soins et attention Je suis très à l’aise avec tous les aspects des soins quotidiens : donner des médicaments (y compris aux gros chiens), couper les griffes, brosser, jouer et offrir de l’affection. J’ai aussi de l’expérience avec les poules pondeuses. J’ai pris soin d’un chat pendant deux absences prolongées de sa propriétaire, soit un total de cinq semaines, et j’ai même réussi à lui apprendre à jouer avec des jouets pour la première fois ! Voir les animaux heureux et épanouis est ma plus grande satisfaction. Engagement et fiabilité Le bien-être des animaux est au cœur de tout ce que je fais. Je veille à ce qu’ils reçoivent toujours l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’ils méritent. Vous pouvez me faire confiance pour prendre soin de vos compagnons comme si c’étaient les miens. English Schedule I’m available for pet sitting services and can arrange my schedule to meet your pets’ needs. I’m especially interested in long-term arrangements, particularly during the winter months, which allows me to provide stable and attentive care. To ensure the best arrangement, it’s best to confirm timing together. Français Emploi du temps Je suis disponible pour des services de pet sitting et je peux m’organiser pour répondre aux besoins de vos animaux. Je suis particulièrement intéressée par des contrats à long terme, notamment pour la période hivernale, ce qui me permet d’assurer une présence stable et attentive. Pour garantir la meilleure organisation possible, il est préférable de confirmer les horaires ensemble. English Safety, trust, and environment I can visit your home to care for your pet, or stay at your home for short or long periods if needed. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pets at all times. I especially enjoy working with dogs that are well-trained, as it allows for smooth and happy interactions. Français Sécurité, confiance et environnement Je peux me rendre à votre domicile pour m’occuper de votre animal, ou rester chez vous pour de courtes ou longues périodes selon vos besoins. Je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sûr et confortable pour vos animaux. Je préfère particulièrement les chiens bien dressés, car cela permet des interactions plus agréables et harmonieuses.
