About: Hello! My name is Nathalie and I am an animal lover looking to care for the pets of others! I have 5 years of veterinary and animal experience working in animal hospitals, cat shelters, dog daycares, and even barn experience with horses and sheep. I have great experience in handling approaches for both dogs and cats, administration of medications (including injections), dog walking, nail trims, pet caretaking and customer service. I have two cats of my own and hoping to get a dog in the near future as well! My goal is to continue helping others and establishing great relationships with both humans and their furry loved ones. I’m currently looking to do pet care full time Monday-Friday so I am fully available and flexible throughout each week day. I am available 9am until 9pm and open to overnights/different timing if needed. I provide all pet care at the comfort of your home and can provide dog walking services for as long as you’d like - whether its 30 minutes or 1 hour, I am happy to discuss your pets needs.
“Great experience with Connor! He was very reliable and able to cater to Milo’s needs (reactive on leash). He’s knowledgeable and clearly a big dog lover! Very happy overall.”
“We had Holly come by and walk our dog Winnie while we were out of town for the day. Holly followed all instructions very clearly and showed up on time. She took Winnie for a nice long walk and ensured she was fed and comfortable before leaving. She was very communicative and sent lots of great photos. Highly recommend having Holly look after your pet, and we will definitely be hiring her to come back and look after Winnie again!”
“Emma was incredibly patient and good with Snow, my foster dog, who came out of the shelter extremely afraid of people and helps him come out of his shell and more comfortable with other people around. Emma is extremely accommodating, she lets you know if there might be any changes to her scheduled which may affect the walk, gives great updates of your pet and is overall extremely kind to both the pet and the owner. I highly recommend using her service, as well as I will continue to be a customer with her with my foster dogs in the future as well as my border collie.”
About: I’ve had 2 beautiful dogs and I’m a stay at home pet mom. I’ve also worked in the pet food industry with Royal Canin and Wellness, so I’m very knowledgeable about pet health and well being I’m a stay at home pet Mom, so I have free time during the week. I’m flexible on hours from 9am until 6pm, but will make exceptions I’m a very patient, loving and caring Mom to my little girl, Coco. I tend to spoil here with a lot of affection, and I would do the same for any other dog that I come in contact with
“Jade is wonderful! Super accommodating, met for a meet and greet before we did an official first walk and was punctual, extremely responsive at all times, and Salsa loves when she comes to pick her up ☺️ I would recommend her to anyone!”

A safe and comfortable companionship will be provided.

About: Hi, I'm Kirsten, but you can call me Kirty as all my friends do! I've been looking after animals for other people in my life for as long as I can remember. This is where my passion lies and I want to spend as much time with animals as I can. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Next up on my list of things to learn is animal CPR! I will update once I'm certified. I work a part-time job with fairly flexible hours, and have had to balance both working and pet care many times over the last 5 years. My main priority is to do whatever is best for the pets, so I always find a way to fit them into my schedule. I'm very easy-going so we can always find something that works, together! I've spent many days and nights having slumber parties with pets at the owners houses. Whatever the pet needs, I'm there! I've had to follow special diets, provide medications, and even dealt with night terrors. I love to care for every animal as if they're my own!

About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client.

I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!
