“Deanna is great with our pup! It eased my mind to know she’s had puppies of her own as well. Highly recommend.”

About: I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications with detailed instruction’s. cleaning up accidents, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Safety is always my top priority. I work shift work, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during weekdays, evenings, and even late-night drop-ins. My schedule changes often, so I'm able to accommodate times that don't always work for traditional 9-5 sitters. I'm a proud dog mom of 2 myself, so I understand how stressful it can be trusting someone else with your pet. Because of that, I treat every animal as if they're my own. I'm very attentive, patient, and safety-focused, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, affection, and lots of supervision. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run around and burn off some energy if appropriate for their visit and a 2 year old lab who loves making new friends if yours needs some socialization with permission of course

“Mariah is great with my dog. Very attentive and reliable.”

“Myriam did an excellent job on all levels with the feeding, litter cleaning, entertaining Polly and especially keeping me posted both with pics and messages so I was always confident and happy that all was well. Myriam was also very professional in her approach to the assignment making sure visits were timely, and really went all out to leave things clean and tidy I will highly recommend Myriam to others an my own future use. Thanks Myriam”

About: Retired RVT with 20+ years of personal pet experience, including larger breed reactive dogs, and medically complex animals. My favorite pets to care for are the ones who take a little longer to come around and show their love! I work full time within Kingston, with a reliable vehicle to ensure local visits or visits outside town are timely and your pets are happy while you're away! I strive to spend at least an hour with all house calls, ensuring that your pet or pets feel comfortable and loved while you are away.

“Would absolutely book again. Kayleigh was very informative about our cats - their behaviour, habits, energy levels, etc. - through descriptions and pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort being away from them for so long.”

“Abigail did a drop in to give my Oliver insulin and his antibiotic! She was great to communicate with and left me a great report card from their visit ! Will definitely book again, Thank you Abigail !!”

About: Hi! I’m Cailey — a dedicated, reliable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals and maintaining clean, safe environments. I am new to the Rover world but have lots of dog walking and animal care experience. I have a strong work ethic and a calm, attentive approach, which helps pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. As a former Kennel Attendant at Kingston Humane Society, I’m experienced with daily feeding, watering, exercise, enrichment, and closely monitoring animal health and behavior. I’m confident following specific care instructions, administering basic care as directed, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, and I always ensure food areas, supplies, and living spaces are kept sanitary and organized. I’m patient, gentle, and comfortable handling animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I will provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently in between jobs, and have an extreme love and passion for animal care and welfare! I have lots of free time to spend caring for lots of furry, scaled or feathered friends ! Unfortunately I currently cannot provide any services in my home and cannot do overnights at this time but I will absolutely provide great care for your furry friends in the comfort of their home during drop-ins or a nice walk outdoors!

“My dog loved Sarah! She dropped in a couple times during the weekend to make sure Gaïa was alright while I was away. Thanks!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for my own dogs and cats for many years, while also fostering numerous animals with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I have experience supporting medically fragile pets, including administering insulin, inhalers, oral medications, and providing care for senior or incontinent animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra medical support, a calm environment, or simply lots of affection and attention, I’m committed to maintaining their routine and comfort every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. I'm very lucky to work remotely and can set up a workspace anywhere there's an internet connection. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks or visits anytime. I have a large yard and one big friendly dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets but is also good at giving space to those who need it. He's great at reading social queues from other pups and cats. I live on a quiet country road that makes for great walks. I tend to let our dog on our furniture but are fine to keep to your rules for furniture. In your home, I'll follow your set routine for your pets.

About: I grew up with five dogs, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including anxious pups who need extra patience and love. I’ve run my own dog walking business and have worked at two dog kennels (one of which I’m currently at) and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on pet care. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust visits and walks to fit your pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions and give plenty of love and patience (especially to anxious or shy pets) while always respecting your home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Jess offered us tremendous peace of mind during eight days away from home. She immediately bonded with our cats and we could tell from their expectations of us when we got home that she gave them oodles of play and attention. Jess was extremely communicative and helped us keep in touch with our three kitties on a daily basis.”

“Excellent care, Dolly was a happy girl!”

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.

About: I'm an experienced and hard-working sitter in the Kingston area, offering peace of mind that your home and little ones are well taken care of in your absence. I have lived with animals my entire life. Naturally, I understand you're seeking the best possible care for your little ones, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I've been a Pawshake sitter since February 2019 and have been loving every moment of making so many new four-legged friends! About my services: HOME VISITS consist of one afternoon or evening visit that lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. During this visit, I would feed your pet(s), refresh their water dish, play & socialize with them, clean their litter box, and so on. I'm also happy to water your plants, bring your mail inside and take out garbage/recycling when needed. HOME BOARDING at my spacious, ground-level apartment means that your cat or dog would stay with me and my pets for overnights over an extended period of time. You can rest assured that your feline friends will get tons of pats and cuddles, and that dogs will be walked twice a day with plenty of opportunities to run around the yard in between. All you need to bring is their food, treats, and leash! I also offer HOUSE SITTING. The house sitting option means Birdie, Bowie and I would stay at your residence round the clock, provided I don’t have any bookings for home boarding at the requested time. This service would be ideal for households with both cats and dogs, or for animals who have a harder time adjusting to new environments. My apartment is puppy-proofed, equipped with puppy pads if needed, two litter boxes (scooped daily), and lots of toys, beds, and treats for cats and dogs alike. It's clean and spacious, with big windows for bird-watching. I have a very large, fenced-in yard for tons of extra play time, rain or shine. I have installed pet gates with built-in cat doors throughout the apartment, so cats and small dogs can have their privacy away from the larger guests when I am unable to supervise. About my pets: I have two pets of my own: An easygoing, playful, and extremely dog-savvy black cat named Gigi Luigi (4 years, male, neutered) who loves making new kitty friends, and a flat coat retriever/labradoodle named Bowie (3 years, female, spayed). Both would relish the extra company and have been socialized to respect animals of all shapes and sizes. Both are also up to date on their vaccines. I think that covers it! Thanks for giving my page a gander. I hope to meet you and your little ones soon! ☺️ I do work full-time as a community mental health nurse, but working in the community means I can drop by my home for short visits as many times per day as needed, and spend my lunch break at home every day as well. I take Bowie for 1-2 off leash adventures every day, whether or not I am working. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep yours occupied, and would be taking them on and off leash adventure at least once a day, regardless of whether I work. I also have the flexibility to pop into my home throughout the day on days I do work, so the pups get frequent potty breaks and are never left alone for long stretches.
