We had a great experience with Becca! She was more than willing to care for our two kitties in a last minute booking, and was also happy to fit a meet and greet in her schedule prior to the booking! 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☺️

About: As a child, I always dreamed of having my fluffy companions, imagining a life filled with love, comfort, and the joy that pets bring. Now, that dream has come true, and I am the proud mother of two incredible Maine Coon boys. That’s why I became a pet sitter — to offer other pet parents the same love and attention I give my boys. I understand firsthand how much pets mean to us and how important it is to ensure they are cared for as if they were family. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to fulfill my passion for animals while helping others feel secure knowing their furry loved ones are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, whether they’re small lap dogs or larger breeds. With my experience looking after both my own Maine Coon cats and my grandmother's dog, I’ve gained valuable skills in handling different temperaments and energy levels. I’m also excited to offer visits for cats and small animals, providing them with the same love and care I give to my own pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply giving them company, I’m looking forward to making sure all animals feel safe and happy while in my care. I’m currently working full time remotely, available for pet care on weekdays starting at 4 PM. My weekends and holidays offer more flexibility, allowing me to provide dedicated attention and care whenever your pets need it! I prioritize your pets’ safety and comfort in their own environment. From regular feeding and playtime to administering any special needs, I create a safe and loving atmosphere where your pets feel secure.

Gillian has been visiting my pups every weekday since January when I brought my new puppy home. They both love her and look forward to her mid day visits. She's been instrumental in training for my pup. She's been incredibly flexible with my schedule and sends the most adorable videos and pictures to brighten my day. I couldn't be more happy to have her be a part of their day. I love that she adores them!

About: Hello! I'm Connor, a seasoned pet sitter with a remarkable history of tending to pets since the age of 8. I've diligently cared for neighbors, family, and friends' beloved companions during their absence, providing attentive services such as walking, bathing, feeding, and organizing exciting hiking and adventure trips. What Sets Me Apart Applied Behavioral Analyst Approach: Leveraging my education in applied behavioral analysis, I incorporate effective training techniques and personalized care plans to ensure your pets' holistic well-being and development. Diverse Animal Care Experience: From cats and dogs, my experience extends to various species. If you need someone to look after your unique furry friend, I'm here to offer specialized care and attention. Family-like Bonding: I believe in creating a familial atmosphere for your pets while you're away. With me, they'll receive not just attentive care but also heartfelt companionship and love. Services Offered Personalized care routines and training programs Exciting outdoor adventures and stimulating activities Applied behavioral analysis techniques for improved pet behavior Comprehensive care for a wide range of cats and dogs Regular updates and communication to keep you connected with your beloved pets Contact me today, and let's discuss how I can provide your furry little ones with the love, care, and attention they deserve in your absence. 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. Nurturing Environment Tailored to Your Pet's Comfort and Safety Whether in my cozy home or yours, I ensure your pet's safety, trust, and comfort remain at the forefront of my care approach. In My Home: With a safe and secure neighborhood, your dog will enjoy strolls in the unfenced front and back yard, always under my close supervision on a leash. My spacious home allows ample room for your pet to roam and play, offering them the opportunity to indulge in their love for running from one end to the other. 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.

This is our second time booking Lise & Luwam! We had to be away from home for almost a week and knew that our cats were both in such good hands. We loved the updates and photos during each visit, and appreciate their attentiveness to caring for them and giving them the human attention we know our cats love 🩷

About: What sets me apart is the individualized, stress-free environment I provide. Since I don’t have pets or children of my own, your dog will enjoy my 100% undivided attention in a clean, quiet, and smoke-free home. Growing up with family pets and helping on my grandfather’s farm gave me a natural, calm, and patient approach to animal care. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always receive regular photo updates and total peace of mind while you are away. I am also comfortable with puppy care and senior care, as well as administering oral medications. Whether your pet needs the extra patience and frequent breaks of a puppy or the quiet, gentle routine of a senior, I am committed to ensuring their schedule and care stay exactly as it is at home. As a freelance professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet care my top priority throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods; instead, they will enjoy constant companionship and a consistent routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My home is a very clean, organized, and peaceful environment, which I believe is essential for a pet to feel secure. I live in a pet-free and smoke-free household with my husband, meaning there are no other animals or children to cause stress or unpredictable situations. Since I work from home, I provide constant supervision. Your pet will never be left unattended in open areas. Although I have an open shared space outdoors, I strictly follow a 'leash-only' policy for outside time to ensure your pet is always safe and by my side. We are also lucky to live very close to a local park, where I take pets for secure, on-leash walks to get fresh air and exercise. I understand how important it is to know your pet is doing well. I commit to sending daily photo and video updates so you can see how happy and relaxed they are. My home is a 'home away from home' where I follow your specific instructions—from feeding schedules to medical needs—to the letter. I treat every guest as if they were my own family pet.

About: --- Please note my business is a safe, compassionate and inclusive space. I welcome diversity and am LGBTQ friendly. --- As a volunteer for Humane Society of Greater Niagara. I have been working with their cat & dog socialization and fostering program for over 6 years now. I have helped many animals find their furever home; everytime I see them go I experience a sense of fullfillment just like when I gave birth to my baby boy. Outside my animal helping adventure, I work at a local library. I also enjoy yoga, hiking and antiquing during the weekends. Please feel free to message me if you feel like to talk about your fur baby! I work part time so I usually have 2-3 hours of free time each day during weekdays. I could also have a couple of hours per day during weekends and I am always free after 9:30 pm at night (which is when my son is down for his bedtime). All dog items will be cleaned and santisized porior to each stay. Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss your needs and requirements. I am happy to send text messages and photos of your pets while you are away as well.

About: My friends always said that I must have been a dog in my past life. I have always grown up with dogs and if I’m not working or at home taking care of my own, I’m at my friends hanging out with theirs dogs rather than them. I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own even if that means saying goodbye at the end of the night. To keep things simple I am here to give out the love these fur babies deserve when mom and dad need to work, go out for a nice dinner or just get out of the house! I am very much so looking forward to meeting your pets and being a part of their life! If you’d like to know more about me check out my insta: happytailswithkiara you can follow along and meet my furry new friends. As a devoted pet owner myself I truly understand the importance of a reliable routine and the peace of mind that comes with quality care. My workday runs from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, so I am always up early to ensure pets are walked, fed, and given plenty of love before I head out. I offer full availability every evening and enjoy a flexible schedule with every other Friday weekend and Monday off allowing me to dedicate entire days to your animals' needs. Whether it's early morning exercise or extended companionship on my days off, I treat every pet with the same attention and heart that I give my own. Whether I’m hosting pets in my home or visiting yours my goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience tailored to your animal's comfort. In my home, I offer a secure fenced in backyard perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I have two friendly dogs and cats who genuinely adore other animals; while I like to be transparent that the initial meet-and greet can be a little overwhelming for my pack as they get excited to make a new friend they settle in quickly and have successfully welcomed many guest pups before. I am equally comfortable and completely flexible with house-sitting in your home or hosting in mine, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy and loved in whatever environment suits them best.

It was great to have Jacqueline take care of Walter while I was away. My usually timid cat did not cower and hide which means Jackie is quiet and caring. As I understand they had great conversations - lol. She made the entire process very easy and when I returned home she had the cat's food and dishes cleaned and orderly. Thank you from Jeff & Walter.

We had a hard time finding someone who would take the time to work with our dog. Fynn is anxious and needs someone with patience to get to know him. Jenny has been the perfect choice. She is not just “ good with dogs “ she is knowledgeable, has experience, patient, and truly good with Fynn. We have her do drop in visits and a walk. She reassures us that fynn is taken care of every time she visits. We can not recommend her enough.
