“Very thankful we can leave our house and our dog to Kristie's care. Micha had a fantastic time playing with Titan and snuggling with Kristie by all accounts :-) Would not hesitate to recommend Kristie for drop in or house sitting.”

“Anna is a super wonderful and knowledgeable dog sitter! We went on a family vacation to Cuba and knew we were leaving our 3 rescue dogs in good hands. We had never left them alone with anyone else before so Anna came over several times before our trip to get to know them. Anna stayed at our home the entire week of our trip and in addition to the dog feeding and caring responsibilities and looking after our home, she also did several pooch walks daily. Our pooches appreciated her love and care and we enjoyed her daily photo updates. It was nice to come back to everything as we left it including happy healthy pooches!! Thanks Anna❤️❤️❤️”


“Kristina was absolutely amazing! We have a very anxious and reactive dog. Kristina was so patient and kind with him. She provided us with updates throughout the day, and we could see that Nino felt safe and comfortable around her. Thank you so much for all your patience and kindness, Kristina. We will definitely contact you again :)”


“Natacha was an absolute delight! So kind, friendly, respectful, and accommodating. Our very anxious bulldog loved her and she was knowledgeable about how to navigate our dog’s separation anxiety. We look forward to having her care for our pets again!”


About: I have had a dog for 8 years and have looked after dogs in the past whether it’s walking/playing or feeding them when needed, or just giving them company. I can look after young and old pups! I have also dealt with dogs that have lots of seperation anxiety or PTSD. I work part time so I will have lots of time to look after your dog! I am available almost every day at any time. Just let me know in advance and I will let you know my work schedule! Unfortunately I won’t be able to have a dog be cared for at my home since I have a dog that has had very bad experiences with other dogs.

“Josephine stayed at my house while I was away for a 7 day trip. The dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I returned which shows how happy they were while in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: I've owned and taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. With being done school now it has given me many new skills for animal care. I can come and care for your lovely pets at any time, we can discuss what times you would need and if I can make it work then there is no problem. If it's not a time I can then I will let you know other options . When going for walks with dogs I always bring a bowl and lots of water for them. I will follow any instructions that you leave for your pets such as feeding schedule and medication if needed.

About: When I was a kid, I had the responsibility of caring for my dog. As I got older, I would petsit other people’s animals, and eventually got my own!

About: I am a registered nurse looking to take care of dogs and cats. My dog passed away Feb 11 of this year and I am really missing my baby and spending time with furry friends. I am not yet ready to get another dog so I am looking to love and care for others. I inherently have compassion for all dogs. I am working as a travel nurse, and completely flexible as I choose my own short term contracts. I am able to travel around the province and accommodate schedules. When I was working full time it was difficult to find help that accommodated a nurses schedule so I’d love to be able to do that for someone else. I have a very flexible schedule therefore I’m able to come to your house or take your baby out for a walk, I love being active and engaging with the pets I care for.

About: I have worked with dogs in a professional setting for over 3 years! I have interacted with 100’s of different dogs, allowing me to develop my own approach to training and pet care that focuses on building a long-lasting relationship full of trust! Working with so many dogs, I have interacted with several different dogs of temperaments and needs. From puppies just a few hours old, to elderly requiring intense medication and care. My current dog is 10 years old, who I rescued 2 years ago. She is a husky mix, full of attitude and sass and my absolute other half! I have taken Pack Pro, Dog Guru 1 &2 training that focuses on canine body language and basic training. Moreso, I am well versed in first-aid and have put it to practice on multiple different occasions. Working with dogs is my passion, and I am always eager to learn more. I have communicated and shadowed under some of the top trainers in North America and am constantly looking to expand my skills. I work full-time currently and have recently finished my college program. Due to my current schedule, I have plenty of availability and am quite flexible. Having pets of my own I understand how difficult it can be at times to find someone you trust! I understand the importance of following owner instruction's and caring for each pet as if it was my own!

About: As stated above, I am a Veterinary Technician that has dedicated my career and education to animals. I have made the switch to becoming a human nurse-which I work casual at the hospital. I miss seeing animals everyday I would love to spend my time caring for your fur babies! I can apply my knowledge to handling any cat or dog by understanding their behaviour, and knowing the proper handling techniques. I also feel comfortable medicating and caring for any animal regardless of their lifestage. If needed, I can assist in providing nail trims and ear cleaning if products are supplied and animal is agreeable with one person providing such care. I have some shifts set ahead for working in the hospital, but I also do have a lot of openings in my schedule. Please let me know if you think I would be a good match to care for your pet! I am currently working casually at the hospital as I have taken some more classes that begin in the fall. I would love to fill the gaps in my schedule with caring for animals. As I have worked in both general animal clinics and emergency animal clinics, I am very aware of any risks that could present themselves while caring for animals. Knowing these risks, I am hyper alert in caring for any animal safely.

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

He has cared for our two border collies, Scout and Diamond, on several occasions, and we have been consistently impressed with his dedication and attentive care.

Each time he has watched our dogs, he has gone above and beyond to ensure their well-being, providing them with plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Moreover, Tristam communicates effectively with us, providing updates and sharing how our dogs are doing, which gives us peace of mind while we are away. We feel fortunate to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend Tristam to anyone in need of a dog sitter. He will undoubtedly provide the same level of excellent care for your pets as he has for ours.”

“I’ve had Ann come over as my dog sitter for about a couple months. Every time, she’s always responsible, punctual, and takes care of my dog Max with good care. She is patient, kind, and compassionate towards everyone and her love for animals is why I had her as my dog sitter before I moved. She’s a dependable person that follows pet care instructions carefully and my dog Max loves it whenever she’s there to sit for him.

Thanks to her work taking care of my dog and looking after him when I’m unavailable, her competence and reliability brings me a peace of mind knowing that even if I’m not available to take care of my dog, Max still is in good custody being looked after and taken care of. I trust Ann fully and believe that she is a competent pet caregiver that anyone would be lucky to have.”
