“Bill was great! He took the time to make sure our kitty was as happy and healthy as possible. When she stopped eating as much (something she does when we aren't around) he made sure we knew and gave us updates every day.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. As a Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, which helps dogs feel comfortable and safe around me—especially those who may be shy or need a little extra time to warm up. I focus on creating a positive experience for each dog, whether that means energetic walks for active dogs or slower, gentle walks for senior dogs. I also make sure to follow the owner’s routine closely so pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing, and I’m very reliable when it comes to timing and communication. My goal is not just to walk or care for your dog, but to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my weekly routine. While I work full-time during the weekdays, I dedicate my weekends to dog walking and pet care, ensuring I have the time and energy to give each pet proper attention. On weekends, I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide reliable and consistent care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with the dogs. As a dog owner myself, caring for my Golden Retriever Cherry is already a part of my daily life, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after. I make sure to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and time they deserve. I provide attentive and safe care tailored to each pet’s needs. At the client’s home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, and any medications. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space and send regular photo or video updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe. At my home (if offering house sitting or drop-in care): I create a calm, friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration. I supervise pets closely, provide affection and mental stimulation, and maintain their usual routines as much as possible so they feel secure and loved. My priority is always the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care.

About: I look like Hagrid, I love animals more than people, they can sense it and they love me back. Before the war in Ukraine, I regularly looked after my friends' pets when they were traveling or on vacation for three years. I'm currently looking for a job, so I have a lot of free time that I'm willing to dedicate to cats. Since childhood, I have loved cats, I always brought strays home from the street and asked my mother to leave them at our house) I regularly looked after my friends' cats in Ukraine when they were on vacation. For me, the most important thing is the comfort and freedom of the cat. Therefore, I am ready to carefully observe him and give him my care and love. If he wants to play with me, I will gladly do so...

About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.

About: Our family owned 3 dogs. We had also 2 hamsters and aquarium with fishes. Sometimes our friends left their pets with us. We love pets and know how to take care of them.

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.

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 truly amazing! She was extremely diligent in responding and helping me out in a last minute booking, was very impressed with her constant updates and photos. Was a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!!! Thank you again Vanessa for all your help!!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and am looking for the opportunity to provide care for your pets whenever you’re in need :) I am able to attend to your pets needs in the early mornings and evenings- on the days I work remotely I will have the afternoon as well to give all my attention to your pets needs!

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.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have my own dog, whom I’ve trained and care for every day, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient and responsible, and I'll treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in Teachers College, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love staying active and working out, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise with your pet while also giving them lots of attention and care. I’ll provide care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep up with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, while giving them lots of attention and making sure their home is kept clean and secure.
