House Sitting Shelburne

About: My brother got a puppy while he lived with us, so I have quite a lot of experience training a puppy german shephard! I have babysat for him many times for many months at a time, taking care of all 110lb of him with no issues. Caesar loves spending the weekends with me, his aunty, as we get many walks and lots of play time in the evening. Keeping his energy in check has never been an issue for the past 6 years! I am a student who studies often, so I am usually home completing assignments and studying for exams. Since I am free during the day, especially in the summer months, I think dog sitting fits my very flexible schedule! I will always respect another clients home, including removing my shoes before entering and making sure I do not make a mess. My parents also like to keep their house clean even when my brother's dog visits, and I always help clean any messes made including wet paw prints or muddy shoes! I will also be aware that some dogs are nervous and require time to adjust to me entering their space, so spending some time in their comfort area may allow them to trust me better, before taking them out for a walk or having a play date.

“Crystal did a fantastic job watching Tucker! She was amazing at communicating, sent lots of pictures and updates, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies! 🐾❤️”

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

“I cannot see how much I appreciated having Emma with my boys. She gave me so much peace of mind as I have never left them with anyone other than family. My little old guy who is 16 years old and fragile was treated like gold and absolutely loved Emma, which was evident from the pictures and feedback I got all weekend long.from My little anxious one loved Emma as soon as she walked in. There’s just something about her that dogs love. Thank you so much Emma, I was able to get away with peace of mind”

“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”

“Steph did a wonderful job taking care of Stanley and the house! They had lots of playtime and Stan appeared to really warm to her. I even came home to washed sheets and towels which was very appreciated after my delayed flights. Would love for Steph to watch Stan again!”

“Samantha took wonderful care of both our dog, Lindy, and our house. She responded quickly to messages and requests. Next time we need a dog sotter, we will book Samantha.”

About: I am a true animal lover. I would watch bunnies, birds, horses, lizards too. Cheetahs if I could haha. A fur baby is a family member and family is massively important. Rest assured; no matter the age, health or species, caregiving is what I'm made for...your fur baby is no different to me. Walks, play time, vet runs, cuddles, snackies and etc. Is always available with aunty Cheryl around 😊 Call me ahead of time and we'll work a schedule that will fit us both. I'm available most holidays too. Can't wait to meet you guys. I care for pets with patience, love , kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Communication and commitment is what makes the optimal safe environment. I follow pet mom/dad's instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. Making sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand and value that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel secure while their mom or dad is away.

“My last sitter left Copper in the middle of the night because they felt Copper was being difficult. I contacted Moody while I was in US, and his prompt reply saved my entire trip. He took Copper for multiple walks, and was really good in communication. Thank you Moody!”

“Sarah took great care of my sweet boy Enzo while I was away. She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. Enzo was happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the care and attention Sarah gave, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young kid, not only have I owned dogs all my life (border collie, and German shepherd) and have done dog sitting for friends and neighbours as well and understand care and grooming for all different kinds of dogs. I am also confident and more than capable of giving any and all medication. Currently working self employed and there are two of us so double the care for the price of one! Since we are self employed and decently in charge of our schedule it allows us to schedule around what works best for you and your furry friends. Take them on regular walks make sure they have appropriate amounts of food and water, make sure they get any and all medication on time. Make sure they there is nothing potentially harmful to the animal in the home or surroundings We also have a large property for them to explore for at home and am more then willing to stick to any and all guidelines you have for your cute furry friend.

About: For five years, my mom and I traveled the world through pet-sitting, which gave us the opportunity to see so many beautiful places and care for so many wonderful cats and dogs along the way. From playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, every pet had their own personality, routines, and little quirks. Now, being a bit more settled, I'm looking forward to continuing something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed: helping pet owners and getting to spend time with wonderful animals locally. I’d say my biggest strength is my ability to follow instructions and routines. I know that every pet has their own way of doing things, and I’m very happy to follow their usual schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, or medications. I’m dependable when it comes to sticking to the details, so you can feel confident that things will carry on as normal while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily make your pet’s routine fit into mine. I’m big on following directions and keeping things as consistent as possible, so I’ll stick closely to what you’ve asked me to do. Whether it’s walks, meals, medications, or anything else, I won’t introduce anything new or unexpected. My goal is simply to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for family and friends' dogs for about 6 years, from small pups to large dogs with all kinds of personalities. I am a recent nursing school graduate looking for work so I have a lot of flexibility at the moment. I'm also helping train my uncle's 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, which has definitely been a challenge but has taught me a lot about dog behaviour, patience, and consistency. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog like they're one of my own! I'm a very active person who loves getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, whether that's neighbourhood walks, hikes, or adventures through local trails and forests. I recently graduated from nursing school and am currently looking for work, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time for multiple walks a day, drop-in visits, or overnight dog sitting. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you're away! As a pet parent myself, I know how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pets. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible and always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :)

About: Hi, I’m Jaida! If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I love animals and am happiest when I’m around them. I currently work part-time as a dog groomer and previously worked at a dog daycare, where I spent my days supervising, training, and caring for dogs. Those jobs have given me experience working with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and helped me become comfortable handling different behaviours and situations. I also have two large dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’m currently an undergraduate student hoping to build a career working in veterinary medicine. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing or would rather relax beside someone, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them comfortable. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can often make time for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for them. I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow it closely, from feeding schedules to walks and any special instructions you may have. I know being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re gone. My experience in grooming and daycare has taught me how to read dog body language and recognize when a dog is excited, nervous, tired, or needs space. I’ll always pay attention to how your pet is feeling and adjust my approach to what works best for them. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and leave everything the way I found it. I know pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, whether that’s during a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an extended stay.

I am proficient with providing medication if they take daily meds. I am also skilled with taking care of multiple pets at the same time if you have a few that need to be taken care of at once. Pet care is my job so I do not have any other work obligations that would take my time or attention away. That means I am flexible in providing you and your pet what they need. I provide multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to keep you updated on how they are doing. In order to keep them in their preferred routine I schedule all feeding and walking as per your outlined preference. I keep your home neat and tidy as if it were my own!

About: Ever since I was young I always loved animals, not only cats and dogs...but each and every animal I see around... I always communicate with them and give them as much as love as I can!! I'm currently enjoying my college life and being with pets gives me a plentiful worthy time to spend with these cuties.Even I have an innovative way of training puppies. I always try to maintain a safe environment for these fur babies and always use to clean and refill the empty bowls and never make them feel bored.

About: I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs, but also with bunnies, turtles, birds like chickens, pigs, fishes. I am vegan, so besides being a caregiver, I am also an animal defender, advocate, protector and guardian. I go out of my ways to ensure their wellbeing, safety and joy are prioritized over anything else. I respect their space. I usually ask if there's anything else that i can do for their care. Example: washing their water fountains, blankets, organizing their spaces, fixing toys, preparing homemade treats. I often fall in love, and given the time, even the most independent cats end up creating trust in my presence and allowing us to grow a unique connection and bond. I am a dual citizen in the process of changing carreers, so my schedules are very flexible. I tend to hyper focus on new jobs at first to learn as much as I can about my new clients personalities, needs, dynamics and environment. I also offer them a safe and clean space so they can be themselves, express their needs, with mutual respect and some discipline. I ask as many questions as needed to learn about my client's needs and expectations. I take a lot of notes and communicate openly about what I can offer for their wellbeing and safety. I adapt my schedules according to their needs and the methods I work for their requests. I avoid toxic foods in the house and harmful cleaning products. I don't smoke at all and I like organizing spaces with health and safety in mind. I change their water, clean their bowls often to avoid bacteria growth, scan their bodies as needed for their health. When allowed, I share healthy snacks and can even prepare balanced meals as treats.
