About: I spent 4 years working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of every breed, size, and temperament. I managed playgroups and kept schedules on track. I was also a dog owner for 12 wonderful years, so I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy and loved. My family has now been fostering dogs for about a year now, which has taught me how to help shy or anxious dogs adjust to a new home. Between the daycare, my own dog, and fostering, I've built years of real experience. I'd love to give your dog the same care and attention I gave my own! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week, and I can adjust timing to match your dog's usual schedule. I follow your routine exactly, keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and always watch doors and gates to keep your dog safe. I'll send updates so you know how things are going!
“Brooke was incredible. She took excellent care of my dog and was on time each visit. Brooke took several photos and allowed Shelby to run off leash. I will be booking again with Brooke!”
“Chloé was so accommodating and very good with our dog. Our dog has some anxieties and Chloé made us feel very comfortable and we knew she was in safe hands. She also took lots of beautiful photos of our dog. Thanks Chloé!”
“LAURA'S LOVE FOR ANIMALS AND HUMAN KINDNESS IS MORE THAN APPARENT. MY DOG ADORES HER! ACCORDING TO THE UPDATE PHOTOS AND THE BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE, HE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY SERVICE”

About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of experience caring for them. I currently have a Mastiff-cross puppy who I love taking for morning walks and letting her have fun with all her dog friends! I also had a sweet Basset Hound who I raised from a puppy through his senior years. He was such a loving boy with a little bit of a stubborn streak! 🐾 I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they have a fun, happy time. I’m looking to fill my weekdays with some extra furry friends! I’m available during the day while my kiddos are at school, which gives me plenty of time for walks and visits. I love getting outside and would be happy to spend that time giving your pup some one-on-one attention, fresh air, and a fun break in their day. I’m flexible with timing and would love to find a schedule that works well for you and your pup. I’m a big believer that dogs are part of the family, so I want them to feel happy, safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll follow whatever routine works best for your pup and make sure they get lots of attention, love and a good walk. I’ll always be mindful of their surroundings and keep them safe, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I would my own.

About: Let me give you peace of mind while you are separated from a very important member of the family. I have a lifetime of experience with many animals including exotics. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, or lives in water, I will give everything I have to make sure they are well taken care of. Your rules and boundaries are of the utmost importance and you can count on me to follow through making sure your pet has consistency in your absence. Nutrition and exercise are top priorities but just as important is your pet's emotional well-being. It is hard on everyone to be a part and it is my responsibility to help your loved one through the anxiety and fear that can come from separation. When you return from being away, you will be greeted with a healthy happy animal ready to spend quality time with you. I currently work from home on my own schedule and terms. This makes it easy for me to take care of your pet anytime during the day. Your rules, guidelines and wishes are my top priority. I will follow your requests as I strongly believe consistency creates a happy well behaved pet.
About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Hi there! My name is Melissa. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Some people call me the dog whisperer but I'm not here to brag ;) A little About Me… My dog Daisy is the love of my life so I completely understand how scary it can be leaving your precious fur babies with a stranger. My hope is to make sure that both dogs and owners are comfortable and happy with allowing me to take care of their pets while they are busy or away. Which is why I always meet pet parents before booking with me. I have owned and cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I promise, I will love and care for your pet with patience and compassion. I can walk dogs and check in on pets multiple times a day. I’m a student but doing all my schooling online so my schedule is very flexible. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own and based on the instructions given by the owner. It is pet specific.
