Pet Sitting in Sydney Mines

About: I’ve been taking care of pets (mainly dogs) since I was 10. From my home dog to family’s dogs and neighbors. From walks to overnights - puppy’s to senior dogs. I work full time but am home various days a week. Always home Friday to Sunday for possible boarding as well! I walk my old guy every day :) I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a nearby track and field for dogs to play and enjoy. Leashed walks around our little neighborhood!

“Niya did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, and administered medication to one of our cats. We felt great knowing she was coming to see them. I’d recommend Niya to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Philip was beyond fantastic! I am floored at how smoothly everything went, from the initial meet-and-greet to the time that I came home. Philip was incredibly reliable for the 5 days of drop-ins that I had booked. I got updates and photos at the right times, according to when I had requested the visits. He was never late, stayed for the entire duration (sometimes longer!), and took care of everything that I needed (food, water, playtime, everything...) He is insanely friendly, very communicative and professional and I am extremely impressed with everything that he did. This was my very first time using Rover, so I naturally had some 'anxiety' (for lack of a better word), but I'm confident that I chose the right person for taking care of my cat. I will 100% be calling Philip again next time I need to leave home for a few days, I have full trust in him. Exceptionally satisfied, thank you Philip!!”

About: I have a house full of fluff! Multi-dog home with big and small, male and female. Have done puppyhood and adopted adult dogs. Have cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits as well, and so am experienced with them, too! I worked as a pet trainer with PetSmart, interacting with dogs of all ages and breeds. I loved my job and helping other pet parents learn to be great communicators with their dogs and advocate for them! I have a specialist honours degree in Comparative Physiology from the University of Toronto, with a major in Biological Anthropology and minor in Psychology. I’ve graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. I am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. My schedule is quite flexible and my longest shift is typically 6hrs. I am happy to take on booking requests that fit well within my schedule. I prioritize learning the routine and norms of your pet (including cues/commands, preferences, medications, etc) that will ensure their comfort and consistency. I believe in being an effective communicator and our pets best advocate. I am continuously researching and learning how to improve as a pet parent and trainer. I do my best to ensure they receive good nutrition, activities, and rest. Understanding the breed(s) and the individual dog has helped me build great relationships with each individual pet.
