Pet Sitting Vaughan

About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.

“I had a great experience with her! She took wonderful care of my cat, Safa, while I was away and kept me updated with lots of adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Safa was comfortable and getting lots of attention. She also made both key drop-off and pick-up super easy, which made the whole process stress-free. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since I was 10, and have also watched over friend’s dogs. I cared for him from a puppy to a senior, with different needs. I am mainly experienced with larger breeds but have also been around smaller breeds as well. I know how important it is for dogs to get exercised, and busy schedules can get in the way. I have a large forest nearby and also a large ravine backyard! Usually I would be able to drive over, or walk over if nearby. I am currently working part time remotely and am available for most of the day. In September, will be busy some mornings with university schedule. I am starting out with dog walking and looking to move to dog sitting or house sitting in the future. I have a large fenced yard and a forest just minutes away!

“Lori was very reliable and did a great job coming in to feed our two cats. She was very communicative before and after her visits and sent us lovely pictures. It’s such a relief to find a wonderful sitter like Lori who lives close by. I would highly recommend Lori!”

About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾

“Aileen is incredibly honest and sweet! I was very nervous since it was my first time using Rover, but she immediately put me at ease. She connected with my puppy right away during her drop ins and has been amazing, even sending me pictures to keep me updated. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! highly recommend her!”

“This was my second time having Samantha watch my cats. She is so good to them! And has amazing communication. She even helped keep my plants alive on my 16 day vacation, which was great! She certainly made me feel totally relaxed, leaving my pets in her care and I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. I will keep coming back to Samantha for as long as she'll have us! I fully recommend her for your fur babies. She gives them the love they need while you get to enjoy the time away”

“Yasmeen did an awesome job while I was away. All 4 of my cats were happy and a lot less clingy than when I usually come home so they obviously had a good time during her visits! Litter was well cleaned, water and food full...she really was a great sitter and I absolutely recommend her to look after your fur babies!”

About: Expanding my services to dog walking :) Have been taking care of dogs for friends and have fostered one medium/large size dog. I really enjoy taking them on walks and watching them play at dog parks! I observe the behavior of the animals and try to understand their thoughts and intentions. I believe this way we see from their perspective rather than imposing our ideas on them. Currently I am not accepting pets into my own home as I have one cat who is terrified of dogs. However, I believe all pets deserve a safe environment and I do my best to provide that even if it is on dog walks / in dog parks.
