Pet Sitting St. Clements

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

“Sunny was able to accommodate a last minute request to take care of our senior cat for a week. Communication was prompt and professional. Appointments times were consistently provided at the time we agreed upon. We received pictures and updates following each appointment. The updates from Sunny reassured us that our cat was well cared for while we were away so we could enjoy our trip. Sunny also brought in a package for us that was delivered while we are away. Thank you Sunny!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience. I've cared for my own dogs and cats since childhood, helped foster puppies and dogs, gained professional experience caring for animals, and spent years providing trusted pet care for friends, family, and neighbours. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Waterloo and am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy staying active through walks while providing pets with the attention, companionship, and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and week, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience entering and caring for clients' homes through previous positions, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and trustworthy in someone else's space. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. For services in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to secure walking routes, a fenced play area, and a nearby fenced dog park for exercise and enrichment.

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

About: Dog lover through and through. Life hasn’t been the same since we lost our beloved 18-year-old Bichon a few months ago. Caring for her from puppyhood all the way through her senior years, including providing the extra patience and attention older dogs need, gave me hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. My love for animals started long before that. When I was younger, I volunteered at local pet shelters where I helped walk dogs and clean the cats’ room. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always gravitated toward them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, giving them the same love, attention, and reliability I gave my own dog. I truly understand that pets are family members, and when they’re in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Honestly, if you can’t find me at a house party, chances are I’m wherever the pet is. Spending time with animals is simply where I’m happiest, and I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and affection as my own. I work full-time remotely from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Whether you need care during the workweek while you’re at the office, regular walks, drop-in visits, or someone to look after your furry friend while you’re away for a weekend, I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. My home is quiet and calm, with no kids or other pets, which can be a great environment for animals who enjoy a peaceful space and lots of attention. Since I work remotely from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep your pet company and make sure they’re well cared for. They won’t be left alone for long and will always have someone nearby. While I don’t currently have a fenced backyard, I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s great for safe walks. I’m always careful when outdoors and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times.

“Breeah watched my two dogs over the weekend while we were away. Beginning to end she was fantastic! Quick to respond and friendly when I reached out, she obviously has lots of experience with dogs so I was comfortable with her immediately. Breeah met my dogs before we left and while we were gone she provided lots of great updates and pictures - I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again!”

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 10 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

About: I have always loved dogs. Through that I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have experience with elderly dogs, puppies, dogs with medical conditions, and dogs in training. I am able to understand the care the dogs need based on their specific conditions and have practiced obedience training for the last two years. I am currently a student a University of Waterloo. Entering into my winter term, I only have three classes a week and all at night. I am perfect if your dogs needs to get out during the day while your at work and am open to dog sitting as well. As said before I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I understand that dogs need love, attention, and training. I am able to provide care to dogs with medical conditions who may have a specific diet or are on timely medication as I have taken care of my previous dog who had epilepsy and further complications as he got older. I also have learned training techniques and practices from a certified trainer we had for my current dog who struggled with behavioural issues as a puppy.

“Sara was wonderful to work with and comforted us knowing we are leaving our family in great capable hands. Addie is a reactive rescue dog, and the fact that she also has one, we saw during our meet and greet that Sara recognized the signs of Addie being uncomfortable and let her have her space. Previous dog sitter we looked at had no idea of the body signs and hackles. Sara got it immediately giving us additional comfort that Addie was in great hands. She was professional with the updates, and messages and kept us apprised of anything going on. 100% will be working with Sara in the future!”

About: Hi there, I raised 2 service dogs before. I can guarantee I will keep pace with your high energy dogs, until they are tired out. Or if you have elderly dogs, after a short walk giving them the attention they need. Have given oral meds many times before as well as insulin injections! Good at teaching certain commands, with a clicker. Positive reinforcement. Willing to take reactive dogs out too, if they are not the best with people, I still would. I’d recommend a muzzle though. I am super flexible with timing and days. I'd love to help you out whenever you need it! Just reach out. Reliable and quick to respond! I care for them like I care for mine. If there's certain things you do for them, just tell me and I will follow it to a T. I go above and beyond for all the pets.

I work with clients to insure that each doggos individual needs will be met. With me doggos are well fed, exercised, and safe. I can also provide updates if required!

“This is the first time using Rover and Kishore made the process quick and simple. Giving this first-time puppy parent some reassurance about leaving a two-month-old puppy for a full day. Norbet was so excited from the moment Kishore walked in the door. Will be booking again.”

“Hugo was excellent. He quickly agreed to meet with us and we immediately felt completely at ease with having him as a caregiver for our dog and cat. He was able to do a sane day drop in and sent photos that showed how good he is with the pets. Looking forward to having him come back again soon!”
