Cat Sitting Sayers Mills

About: I have been taking care and training dogs since i was 4. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from the moment they are born through to seniors. I have also trained dogs from 5 weeks old through to older dogs. I do not believe in the term you can not teach an old dog new tricks, i just believe it is more difficult to do so. I have worked with dogs that have issues from medical to behavioral and love a challenge. I am currently in college for dog training. I have a very open schedule. I own my own company and am able to make my own work schedule. I do have animals of my own so i cannot stay in a house over night but am able to do check-ins. I do have 5 dogs and 2 cats (who think they are dogs). I treat all animals as they were mine and love them all the same.

“Maria and her family took exceptional care of our cat while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such responsible and caring hands. She kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures which made us very happy and reassured us. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and close to home. It was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend! Atanu and Sanjukta Sengupta Milton”

About: What sets me apart from the rest other sitters is that I have experience with dogs that have high energy as well as low energy. Some of them need to get their exercises as early as dawn, and I am able to keep up with them. I have experience in walking, feeding and bathing dogs. I am currently working during the month of July and my schedule fluctuates a lot, so it would be best to get in contact with me for the month of July. In august however I am available pretty much available every day of the month. While taking care of other peoples pets it’s very important to make sure that the house is as the owner has left it. Cleaning up after the animal and feeding it is an obvious necessity, as well as showering it with affection and providing it with any exercise that he/ she needs :)

About: I've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.

“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m confident with giving medications, reading their body language, and making them feel safe and happy. I enjoy going for walks, playing, and giving lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own 💕🐶 My schedule is super flexible, so I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or extra cuddles, I’ve got time and love to give! I provide care in your pet’s own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. Familiar surroundings help reduce stress and keep their routine consistent and happy.

“Ciara went above and beyond with our elderly cats. Between the many prescribed diets + medications I was very choosy about who could look after them. We came back to haooy, healthy cats, she even took the time to wash used food dishes + clean litter boxes. The daily photo updates and info on days the eldest did or did not have meds was helpful to have as well.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

“Twinkle was in good hands with Shreya for a week! She got her pills every 12 hours, her treats and we received a lots of photos and videos. It was so comforting to know that we can leave our cat in her capable hands. We will use her services again, for sure!”

“Michelle was wonderful and helped make our 10 days away much easier. Great feedback about how our cat was truly doing with pictures which were lovely to see. Michelle was reliable, conscientious and friendly towards our timid boy. Happy to hear they became friends :)”

Helen M.

“Ala was wonderful in caring and watching over my cat for a week! She gave continous updates and made sure I was in the loop for everything from changes in her eating habits to her mood! I will definitely be returning to Ala in the future when need be.”

About: Ive lived with and cared for cats for over five years, and I currently have three of my own. I'm used to feeding schedules, special diets, litter care, and noticing when a pet is acting off. I've also looked after friends' pets, including overnight care for a cat and dog that needed extra patience at night. I'm calm, reliable, and good at following an owner's routine exactly. I treat your pet like my own. You'll get photo and text updates on every visit, so you're never wondering how they're doing. I follow your instructions closely, whether that's a special diet, a specific walk route, or a certain way of doing things. I'm also flexible with scheduling and easy to reach if plans change. I've set aside time for pet care around my work, so I can usually do walks and drop-ins during the day, plus evenings and weekends. Overnight stays work for me too. I'm a big believer in showing up when I say I will, and if anything changes, I'll tell you right away. Last-minute request? Message me, and I'll do my best to make it work. I come to you, so your pet gets to stay in their own space with their own bed, toys, and routine. That's usually the least stressful for them. I'll follow your instructions for food, walks, and little quirks, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can relax while you're away. I'm also happy to do a quick meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable

About: My name is Karolina and I have been training dogs and horses for over 25 years of my life. A born animal lover and empath Ive kept animals off my plate since I was 7 years old, adopting a vegan lifestyle over 10 years ago. I've rescued and rehabilitated all sorts of animals in my lifetime and I will continue to commit myself to animal welfare and quality of life for the rest of my life. Animals are my purpose and educating pet parents on animal care and communication is my mission. I will always be the appropriate environment your pet needs. As a dog and horse trainer, my entire life revolves around animals and their needs, both physically and mentally. My days are dictated by the animals I have in my care that day My home is clean, tidy and doggy proofed. Fenced yard, my home is fully accessible including furniture, but can also provide structure "place" or crate time if required. Up to 4 walks a day. Water dish is always out and filled up with filtered water. Heat and humidifier is always on in the winter, A/C in the summer. As a skilled trainer I can reinforce implemented training and structure

About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.

About: "With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I pride myself on being a reliable and attentive sitter. Whether it's high-energy walks, gentle senior care, or sticking to a strict feeding schedule, I treat every pet like they are my own. I'm dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away." "I am available for cat sitting on both weekdays and weekends, offering a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether you need a quick check-in or more dedicated time, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine to ensure your cat gets the attention they deserve." "I live in a secure apartment equipped with safety doors to ensure cats are always protected. My home is a quiet, smoke-free environment where I take extra care to remove any hazards, providing a peaceful and reliable space for your pet to feel completely at ease."

About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!

About: My preferred name is Zara. Nice to digitally meet you here :) I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! The reason I don’t have reviews but so many pictures is because pet parents I encounter don’t wish to pay extra fees and during meet & greet choose a different route :) I’ve 20+ years of experience in foster care, reactive dog care, senior dogs/cats care. I lost my job in Aug 2025 and I’m pet boarding full time. I’ll be there for your fur baby 24/7. If you like my work, tips would be greatly appreciated since pet sitting is my main and only source of income right now, while I actively hunt for a full-time job in this economy :) What sets me apart from other sitters is my approach and knowledge - i constantly update myself by reading more into holistic care and positive training for pets. I adapt my style of care to your pet because I believe each pet has their unique personalities, space and likes/dislikes. I love to mentally stimulate my pets with a walk in the park near by or puzzle games at home. I play soothing music in the house with some calming scent. I give cuddles to a cuddly pet or space to a more reserved pet. I never take dogs to dog park. I never leave your dog off leash anytime. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. A regular day in my life as a pet enthusiast: E.g. if it is a dog: 7am: morning poo/pee break 30 min 8am: breakfast 10am: morning walk 60min 2pm: afternoon poo/pee break 30min 3pm: lunch (if small dog) 6pm: evening walk 60min 8pm: dinner 9pm: night poo/pee break 30 min I’m currently unemployed hence I am home full time and I have a small 1 year friendly chihuahua (trained puppy). So I have more time on my hand to go dog walking or board your pet. I have a variety or trails and parks nearby; I believe dogs need regular walks to mentally stimulate themselves with their super strong sense of smell. I love enrichment walks with dogs. My pet dog Chico would love to have a companion to go on a walk with. I have 6 feet and 20/50 feet leash at home. I also have a big sized crate in my house if needed. If you are boarding your pet cat at my place, I would encourage you to provide all the supplies because a change of diet would affect their gut.

About: I was born into a home with pets. My parents, my grandparents, aunts and uncles, all had pets. It was the most normal thing in the world to have a dog or cat cuddle up to me while I played with my toys, watched movies, or did my homework. It was the best kind of life and I am honoured everyday to have lived in the presence of such amazing animals. I couldn’t imagine my life without a pet. Up until this past March, I had a cat named August. We would go everywhere together, on car rides, camping, even sometimes on walks. He would get excited to run, and probably irritated that he could outrun me, but mostly he loved the car. I had always wanted a dog, but I’m waiting until I own a house, for security and space. In the meantime, I melt into other people’s dogs. I love how excited they get to see me, the love they experience in me before they even know me is overwhelming, and it makes my heart melt. I once had a passenger tip me a large tip because her dog, who hates people, loved me. It makes me feel a little impatient to have one of my own but I’m not there yet. So, until then, I am looking to spend time with, caring, for other people’s dogs. I welcome the opportunity to be a part of a dog’s world, even if only briefly, and hopefully I melt into them as they do into me. I am an artist (singer/songwriter and writer of prose) and an Uber driver. My rates are what they are so I can take the time needed to spend with your pet, and focus far less attention on work. Tending to the care and attention of another’s animal would be an excellent inclusion into my artistic process. As an Uber driver, I can take the time off, so I can focus entirely on the fur baby in my care. We will go on walks, enjoy each other’s company, and eat according to their set schedule. I am flexible and willing to meet the special demands of your little one. I will ensure any physical aids your dog requires, from medications to physical supports, will be handled with the utmost care.
