She stayed for longer than the 30 minutes each visit to play with our fur babies, which we greatly appreciated! Also made sure they got water, food and emptied the litter boxes daily! We will definitely be booking with Becca again☺️”

Flexible Pet Care Schedule Aligned with Your Pet's Needs As a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home Monday to Friday and occasionally take on part-time shifts during evenings and weekends. This means your pet will almost always have someone home with them, ensuring consistent companionship and supervision. I'm available seven days a week and happy to accommodate your specific scheduling needs. While there may be occasional times I need to step out for work or travel throughout the year, your pet’s safety remains my top priority. If your pet is crate-trained or feels more comfortable in a crate when left briefly alone, I’ll ensure they’re settled safely and securely. I build regular walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks into my day to keep your pet active, stimulated, and cared for. And when I’m not home, my partner is—so your pet will never be left completely alone. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being come first in our home, no matter how full the schedule may be.

If your pet requires crate time, there's sufficient space to accommodate their needs. In Your Home: I bring the same level of attentiveness and care to your pet in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Ensuring their safety and well-being, I follow any specific instructions you provide diligently. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time, your pet will receive the same affection and care they would get in my own home. For Cats: Your feline companions will find delight in the unique, 8-ft-tall and 12-ft-wide cat tree in my home, boasting 16 spaces for exploration and napping. They'll have the perfect haven to play, lounge, and enjoy a stimulating environment. My priority is to create a nurturing and secure atmosphere, ensuring that your pets feel right at home, whether they are in my care or yours.
About: My experience with pets is from back home in Brazil. I have at home a cat, 3 dogs, a turtle, and a bird (Yeah, a lot I know haha). Of all the pets that I have, I have a special connection with my dogs. They are like my shadow and always wants to stay next to me. I can’t even imagine how they are missing me since I moved to Canada, and I also miss them like crazy. Being a sitter will complete this part that I most miss from home. Im currently working full time during the week. I’m available for drop in’s and walks during the week from 07am to 8am / 05:30pm to 08pm. For house sitting I’m available starting Friday 05:30pm to Sunday 07pm. Message me if you have any questions. I care so much about the attention that is needed to the pets. They are so loyal with us and just wanna feel loved and cared of.
“Chelsea dropped in to check on my 11 week old puppy, Milo, on very short notice. Chelsea took Milo outside and spent time playing with him before returning him to his crate. Milo was calm and happy when I returned home. I would definitely book Chelsea again and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pup!”

Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!
Tiffany is amazing! She is very kind and patient with our shy/anxious kitties. She followed our instructions and did everything flawlessly. Her ponctuality, attention to detail and comunication are great traits too. She sends detailed updates and photos at the end of each visit. It is always stressful to leave our cats when we travel, so I am relieved to have found such a dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Tiffany!
Nadia gave me full confidence and comfort for my big trip away from my senior cat.
