“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
About: 🐾 Loving & Reliable Pet Care | Dogs & Cats Welcome! 🐶🐱 Hello! My name is Ashlyn, and I have a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I understand that pets are more than just animals they’re cherished members of the family.

I’ve also provided house-sitting and pet-sitting services for multiple families, caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing and receiving lots of affection, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines! 📅 My Availability I currently work another job during the following hours: * Wednesday – Friday: 10 AM – 6 PM * Saturday – Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM * Monday: Available * Tuesday: Availability upon request I’m happy to discuss arrangements that work around my schedule, including morning and evening visits, overnight care, and longer stays when possible. ❤️ Your Pet’s Comfort Comes First! I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved companion, and I’m committed to making their time in my care as happy and stress-free as possible. Thank you so much for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾❤️ I’m currently have a full time job and work 10am - 6pm Monday, Thursday, Friday and 10am - 5pm Saturday and Sundays I have Tuesday and Wednesday fully off. I’m more so for the people who are going away on holiday and your dog(s) need care but are used to people being gone for work during the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a calm and caring environment where every pet feels secure, loved, and well looked after. I follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like my own— with attention, patience, and genuine care.
“Toni is amazing! She did drop off visits for my french bulldog for about 2 weeks. He’s a bougie little guy who gets his lunch meal prepped (due to pancreatitis) and heated up. She came by for about an hour everyday and fed him/ took him out. She also took the time to do drop by introduction before taking care of him. After the first visit he was waiting by the door looking for her the entire night when I get home. If I afford to hire her full time I would. Highly recommend trying her out if you need someone to care for your pets!”

About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.

So, I have lots of experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I now have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle of my own, his name is Matcha!

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.
“Kristi took such great care of our cat (including giving her medications and checking for signs of illness ) while we were away ! We didn’t have reception and felt so reassured she was on the job. Our cat didn’t event give us the usual cold shoulder when we got home.”
“Magdala looked after my two senior cats and I am so pleased with the amount of work she did. I came home to zero mess! And I could tell after each check in she gave them lots of attention and pets (they are demanding so I don’t think she had a choice, haha). So pleased that they were cared for in the same way I would have cared for them. Thank you Magdala!”

I am available for walks, drop-ins and house sitting before 8am and after 4pm, as well as free on weekends. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make time for it wherever I can. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow your instructions closely to make sure that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. This means sticking to routines, keeping things tidy, and giving them lots of attention! Whether that's playtime, cuddles, or a quiet presence. I'm mindful of boundaries and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so that you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: My name is Michelle, I love all animals and have cared for the majority of my life. I used to walk and board dogs professionally in college. When boarding dogs I would open my schedule 100% to the animals and make no additional plans to ensure your pets are my first priority. I am very active and will make sure every animal has the right amount of exercise and more during their stay. I am a big walker so I am looking for some dogs to join me who love it just as much as I do! I work 4x a week for a couple of hours a day and am home majority of the time otherwise, when I have animas staying with me I schedule my days so I can be with them 100% I love to go for long walks and get exercise! I can’t wait to meet your animal and love it like it’s my own. The more energetic the better!

Magdala looked after my two senior cats and I am so pleased with the amount of work she did. I came home to zero mess!

So pleased that they were cared for in the same way I would have cared for them. Thank you Magdala!
Thanks Xenia, for taking care of my kitties, changing their litter box, topping up their water, and feeding them wet food. The photos and videos really brightened up my day while I was away from them. I would recommend Xenia to everyone. She was professional, experienced, and caring.
Caroline is incredible! She has always been very reliable and on time. We don’t know what we would do without her! She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is taken care of and sends us updates with how she’s doing! If you’re looking for a dog walker she’s your girl! Thank you Caroline! 🥰
