About: Along with having many pets of my own, I’ve also done volunteer work with animal rescues in the past and am super comfortable with taking care of both dogs and cats. I love pets of all shapes and sizes! Working from home allows me plenty of time to prioritize your pet’s needs! I have lots of free time and am available most weekdays and weekends :) Although I don’t currently offer boarding services, I can still make sure that your pet gets all the exercise and attention they could possibly want, both inside and outside of your home! As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust that goes into having someone care for your furry friends and I will always be sure to treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care and respect.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up learning hands-on from my mom, who was a dog trainer and groomer, so from a young age I was exposed to proper handling, training, and understanding of animal behaviour. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals in different settings. I’ve owned and looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds, and even had early experience caring for exotic pets while living in Papua New Guinea. My experience also includes working in a veterinary clinic where I took on the role of a vet assistant, volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, and working in an animal shelter where I was also the lead dog handler, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments, including those who may be nervous, shy, or require a bit of extra patience. I’m currently in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programme at the Atlantic Veterinary College training to be a vet, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in BioVeterinary Science, minoring in Equine Science, along with an undergraduate certificate in Animal Welfare. I have a particular interest in animal behaviour and training, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my care while emphasising fear-free care. I am also able to provide medical care as well. Whether your pet is high-energy, a little anxious, or just needs some extra love and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and provide care that’s tailored to them. I am currently on summer break from vet school and is available all days of the week to provide drop-in visits, dog walks, pet sitting, or administer medications according to my provided availability. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them feeling safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Every animal is different, so I adapt my care based on their personality, energy level, and individual needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection while also respecting the routines they’re used to. I’m comfortable administering basic care and medications, providing medical care, monitoring behaviour, and caring for anxious or shy animals with patience and understanding. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. With my background in veterinary medicine, shelter work, animal behaviour and training, and wildlife rehabilitation, I’m confident handling pets of different temperaments, sizes, and ages. My goal is always to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.

“Dakota is amazing! Our dog Lucy is both shy and demanding, but she loves Dakota. I was worried Lucy would refuse to leave the house, but she gladly goes for a little walk.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jesse and I have been working as a registered veterinary technician for 4 years. I have experience in emergency medicine and I am comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities. I have owned a dog and several cats, I currently live with 2 cats, Perogie and Tuna Casserole! I look forward to giving your pets some extra love! I currently do shift work at an emergency hospital, which provides me with longer periods of time off. I would like to fill that time providing extra enrichment and care to the animals in my community! As a lifelong animal lover, pet owner, and veterinary technician, I am aware of not only your pets’ health needs, but their enrichment and social needs, as well. You can trust that your pet will be very well taken care of and kept safe.

“Great communication and our dog came home very happy! Thank you!”

A dog mama of two, I’d love to host pups in my home so they have a home away from home when you are away! I am a full time stay at home mom to a toddler. My availability is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate various scheduling needs! I have a fully fenced in, large back yard for your dog to roam and explore. Happy to house dogs as if they’re at home, they are able to sleep in my room with me, or if you’re more comfortable, my spare room or living area.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to brush, walk and bath. I've also been trusted to look after their dogs for weeks a time. I have two part time jobs, one on the weekends and the other is 3 days throughout the week, so I will have lots of time to spend with your pups throughout the week. I will keep your dog on a leash when being taken outside, unless you have a fenced in yard or told otherwise. I will always keep your home clean and let you know immediately if anything were to happen.
