Cat Sitting Sainte-Catherine

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, especially dogs of all breeds and sizes. I grew up with dogs, and my family was also involved in dog breeding, which gave me a deep understanding of their care and behavior from an early age. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have extensive hands-on experience caring for both adult dogs and puppies. I truly love animals and treat each one as if they were my own. I would be happy to provide loving and responsible care for your furry family member! I work full-time but have a flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your needs. Whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to work something out with you! You can relax knowing your pup is in safe, loving hands. With years of experience caring for dogs and puppies, I understand how to create a safe, calm, and happy environment. Your furry friend will be treated like family!

“Caitlan took great care of my cats. She really left my mind at ease & was meticulous with following all my instructions. I would hire her again in an instant, and I’m sure my cats would welcome her back into our home!”

“Excellent service!! I was worried about leaving my cats initially but after the first day of seeing how caring she was with them, I would gladly leave both my cats in her care again! You can tell she has a genuine love for animals by the way she acts with them and kept me posted on their situation.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a child. Growing up, I had experience caring for many different kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, silkworms, butterflies, ants, and mantises. Because of this, I learned early how to observe animals carefully, understand their needs, and be patient and gentle with different personalities. What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my attention to detail. I understand that every pet has its own routine, comfort level, and personality. Some pets need space, some need extra attention, and some simply need a calm, clean, and safe environment. I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, companionship, and photo updates. I will care for your pet with patience, respect, and genuine love, just like I would care for my own. I’m also very attentive to animal body language and behavior. I pay close attention to their signals, habits, comfort level, and boundaries. I understand that animals communicate in subtle ways, through posture, movement, sounds, energy, and routine changes. This helps me respond gently and appropriately, whether a pet needs space, reassurance, playtime, or extra care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and can provide regular attention throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, photo updates, and gentle companionship. I’m also flexible with each pet’s routine and will follow the owner’s instructions carefully. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and cat-friendly environment. We have experience caring for cats, and our home has litter boxes, cat toys, scratching posts, cat trees, cozy resting areas, and food and water bowls. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give shy cats space and offer attention to cats who enjoy company. I keep the litter area clean, follow feeding instructions carefully, and send photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they are away. In a client’s home, I will respect their space, follow their instructions, keep everything tidy, and make sure their pet has fresh water, food, a clean litter box, and calm companionship.

“Ékaterina est formidable ! Mon chien s’est tout de suite senti à l’aise avec elle. Elle ne s’occupe pas seulement très bien des chiens, mais en plus, en tant que spécialiste du comportement canin, elle m’a donné d’excellents conseils d’éducation. On sent qu’elle aime vraiment les animaux et qu’elle les comprend. Un grand merci !”

About: I’ve had cats and kittens all the time since I was 3 years old, along with other pets, including rabbits and chicks. My parents had a house in the mountains. Whenever we visited over the summer, I used to take care of my neighbor’s dog. It was always a thrill taking her for a walk every day. If she ever runs away from home, I would go after her and make sure she was okay before taking her back to her owners. Animals warm up to me, and I am very fond of them. I hope to be a veterinarian someday. The wellbeing and happiness of animals is very important to me. Seeing them well taken care of brings me joy and comfort, and it would be an honor to provide that care. I recently graduated from dawson college, and I started my first semester at Concordia this fall. I should be available any day, any time, since the majority of my classes this semester are online. I would rather take care of your pet in your home. I am very trustworthy, so you don’t need to worry about your belongings while I’m at your place. I will only be inside for the duration needed to get the job done. I will document my time with your pet so your mind is at ease <3

“I am so happy I trusted my instincts with Rojina and chose her to take care or our cat Hedwyg, who is a rescue. He is normally very shy and hides when someone unknown comes to the house. But with Rojina, he came out on day one! She clearly has a gift for taking care of animals and really respect them. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She updated us with pictures and comments and adhere to all our specific needs. She is a true professional and profoundly cares. Thank you for everything Rojina?”

About: I work mostly from home, am reliable, caring and very active. I don't have a yard, however I live close to large parks and beautiful areas to go exercise dogs. My personal dog is high energy, we are constantly out for adventures. I am a dog trainer as a hobby, lots of understanding of canine body language/ behavior/needs, tons of puppy experience and I love high drive, high energy dogs. I work from home, can provide walks and exercise especially in the morning, the best way to start the day. During work hours, i can provide potty breaks whenever necessary No yard, but plenty of areas walking or driving distance to go move with dogs, no matter the weather conditions, dogs must move ! I do require dogs to be crate trained if they are boarding with me, mainly for safety should I need to leave them alone.

“Si nous avions pu, nous lui aurions mis 5 étoiles de plus. Elle est extraordinaire! Nouns avions de magnifiques photos et un compte rendu détaillé chaque jour. Merci!”

About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.

“Heather did a great job looking after my cats! She was very conscientious and checked in when she noticed my fridge had accidentally been left open, and made sure not to feed Minnow any food that might have been spoiled. I felt really comfortable knowing Minnow was in her care.😊 Heather was also super friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d happily hire her again!”

About: We've had 25 years of fun with our own dogs. I grew up around them as a kid, and I can't think of a time I have not been around them. We've raised them from puppies, and we've had some that have been rescued, but one thing is for sure is that we love them no matter where they're coming from. We would love to watch your pup, and have them hang out with our boy Hobbes. We have multiple parks around us, plenty of places to explore, and a great home to house them in. Let us know how we can be of service to you, and take care of your furry friend. We both work from home (Jonathan & Ashleigh) and our daughter (Kodee), have tons of flexibility, which gives us all plenty of opportunities to get out into the fresh air and explore. \\jonathan, ashleigh, et kodee Nous avons eu 25 ans de plaisir avec nos propres chiens. J'ai grandi avec eux quand j'étais enfant, et je ne peux pas penser à une époque où je n'ai pas été avec eux. Nous les avons élevés à partir de chiots, et certains d'entre eux ont été sauvés, mais une chose est sûre, c'est que nous les aimons peu importe d'où ils viennent. Nous serions ravis de regarder votre chiot et de le faire passer du temps avec notre pitou Hobbes. Nous avons plusieurs parcs autour de nous, de nombreux endroits à explorer et une belle maison pour les héberger. Faites-nous savoir comment nous pouvons vous être utiles et prendre soin de votre compagnon à quatre pattes. Nous travaillons tous les deux (Jonathan et Ashleigh) à domicile puis notre fille aussi (Kodee), avons une grande flexibilité, ce qui nous donne de nombreuses opportunités de sortir à l'air frais et d'explorer. Pet care fits naturally into our daily rhythm. Since we both work from home, we're able to give plenty of attention throughout the day...whether it’s a morning walk by the river, playtime in the afternoon, or a quiet cuddle in the evening. Our three teenagers are also involved and love spending time with animals, so there’s always someone ready for a walk, a game of fetch, or just to hang out and offer some affection. Caring for pets isn’t something we have to “make time” for it’s something we genuinely enjoy and have built into how our family lives day to day. Prendre soin des animaux fait naturellement partie de notre quotidien. Comme nous travaillons tous les deux de la maison, nous avons la chance d’être présents et disponibles tout au long de la journée. Que ce soit pour une marche matinale au bord du fleuve, un moment de jeu en après-midi, ou une séance de câlins tranquille en soirée, il y a toujours un moment pour leur accorder de l’attention. Nos trois ados participent aussi avec joie aux soins. Ils adorent passer du temps avec les animaux, donc il y a toujours quelqu’un prêt pour une balade, une partie de lancer de balle, ou juste pour donner un peu d’affection. Ce n’est pas quelque chose qu’on doit "planifier", c’est une partie naturelle et précieuse de notre mode de vie familial. Chez nous, on prend soin des chiens comme s’ils faisaient partie de la famille, parce que pendant qu’ils sont ici, c’est exactement ce qu’ils sont. À la maison, cela veut dire beaucoup d’amour, d’attention, et un environnement calme où votre chien peut se sentir en sécurité et pleinement accueilli. Les promenades, les jeux et les câlins font partie de notre routine. On fait aussi attention aux besoins particuliers de chaque animal, que ce soit pour des médicaments, un horaire de repas spécifique ou tout simplement un peu plus de douceur et de patience. Avec Hobbes, qui pesait 115 livres, c’était important pour nous qu’il soit bien éduqué, confiant et à l’aise dans différents environnements. Il devait pouvoir interagir doucement avec un tout-petit autant que marcher calmement à mes côtés. Cela fait longtemps que nous vivons aux côtés de ces compagnons à quatre pattes. Avec les années, on a appris à comprendre leur langage, à les observer, à bâtir une relation basée sur la confiance. Savoir comment les entraîner, comment bien communiquer avec eux, ça a changé et enrichi notre manière de vivre avec nos chiens. On croit beaucoup au renforcement positif, à la structure et à la douceur. Chaque chien est unique, et on prend le temps de s’adapter à ses besoins, pour qu’il se sente aimé, respecté et à sa place avec nous. Quand on prend soin d’un animal dans sa propre maison, on fait tout pour garder ses repères. On suit vos consignes avec attention, pour que votre chien se sente aussi bien que possible, dans un environnement familier, avec une présence calme et bienveillante. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We care for pets like they’re part of the family, because while they’re with us, they are. In our home, that means lots of love, attention, and a calm environment where your dog can feel safe and included. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are all part of the routine. We’re mindful of each pet’s specific needs, whether it's medication, a certain feeding schedule, or just extra patience and space. With Hobbes, who was 115 pounds, it was important to make sure he could be out in the world and feel confident, calm, and well-behaved. He needed to be able to love on a toddler just as gently as he walked beside someone my size. We've been partnering with these four-legged companions for a long time. Over the years, we’ve learned how to read their behavior and respond in ways that build trust. Understanding how to train and communicate with them has helped us build deeper, healthier relationships with our pups. We believe in positive reinforcement, structure, and kindness. Every dog is different, and we take time to learn what works best for each one so they feel secure, loved, and at home with us. If we're caring for your pet in their own home, we work to keep their routine as familiar as possible. We follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, respected, and cared for, wherever we are.

“Anja was amazing with our two cats! They are not used to us leaving and Anja really took her time to get them to feel comfortable around her. She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have been happier!”

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. 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. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: Hi I am Stephy and I am a full time worker who is working from home. I would like to help you care about your pets when you are not available. I have the experience of walking dogs and feeding pets and cleaning cat litter. I am friendly and responsible, and have the patient to help and also train your cats, for example, I know how to train cats for "sit","paws","jump through hoops". I have plenty of leisure time after work and on weekends. I have one kitten at my home and I helped take care of 5 dogs for my neighbor in the past. Feel free to get in touch with me and let me know if you need any help for taking care of your babies. Hope to help you soon.

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 :)

“Pamela did a great job of taking care of my cat Loki while I was on vacation for two weeks. She sent pictures at every visit and let me know immediately when she saw that a plant had been knocked over and Loki had a hairball. Would definitely recommend and will trust Pamela with my pets again soon.”

About: J’ai dû faire euthanasier mon chien en mars 2023 alors qu'il avait seulement 6 ans. Il n’y a pas un jour qui passe où je ne pense pas à lui. Mon chien avait plusieurs problèmes de santé et je me suis beaucoup occupé de lui. Il faisait de l’arthrose, de l’asthme et du diabète. Je lui ai souvent donné ses injections d’insuline ainsi que des médicaments sous forme de comprimés. Je devais également lui mettre une goutte dans chaque oeil à chaque jour. Je suis toujours douce avec eux et répond aux différents besoins et aux différentes personnalités de chacun. Sinon, j’ai aussi l’habitude avec le chien de mon copain qui est un chien assez nerveux. Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’université de Montréal. J’ai également un emploi à temps partiel au sports experts. Étant aux études je ne peux pas avoir de chien tout de suite, mais je les adore et passerait mes journées avec eux si je pouvais. J’adorerais m’occuper de vos toutous dans mes temps libres. J’ai une cour arrière clôturée chez moi. J’adore jouer avec eux, prendre une marche ou les amener au parc à chien s’ils ont besoin de dépenser de l’énergie ou sinon simplement leur donner tout l’amour et affection nécessaire.
