About: I’ve taken care of my cousin’s dog every other weekend. He’s a golden retriever and the most loving dog ever. I fed him, took him on walks, played with him and I’d love to walk your dog or take care of them. I’m available for dog walks on weekdays or weekends. As for the exact timings, we can work it out together as we discuss the dog’s needs. I prefer taking care of the pets at the owner’s home because I personally think my home is not adequate for a pet. I live in a small apartment…
About: Taking care of dogs has always been a part of my life from an early age. I grew up with my dog, Lady; and dog sitting for my neighbours. I also have experience in special needs dog sanctuaries. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a part-time university student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to focus on your pup’s needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding routines to walk schedules and house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space, keeping their routines consistent to reduce stress while you’re away. I also can keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet (and home!) are in good hands.
“We had a great experience with Kayla, who took care of our senior kitties for 2 weeks! We were anxious about leaving them so it was very helpful to have daily updates and photos. We're so glad they had good company while we were away! Kayla was so easy to talk to and we felt we could trust her, would definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old, when I walked my neighbours schnauzer around the park almost every weekend until she died when I was 16. I’ve also sat all types of dogs from golden retrievers to puppy dachshunds. I am not afraid of any animals and I’ll always treat them with the best care I can give. Being far from home and away from my pets I am trying to fill the animal sized hole in my heart. I currently a student at Concordia university and don’t have a full time job rather I do freelance work where I can find it luckily most of my classes aren’t in person so I am free almost all of the time Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to keep any animals in my student residence. But if you invite me into your home to take care of your animal(s) I will treat the area with the upmost respect and will clean up any mess me or the animal makes while I am present
“Justine a très bien gardé nos 2 lapins pendant 2 semaines selon toutes les instructions. C'était très facile de communiquer, et elle a même distribué un traitement. Au besoin nous referons appel à elle sans hésiter !”
About: Love caring for animals, experienced with senior, shy and spicy cats too! I can walk your dog and I can house sit when you’re away! Available on hourly or daily basis including weekends/overnight stay. I am a graduate student and I can provide care after 4 pm or before 9 am. I can feed, walk or play with your dog/cat. I can also do light grooming, cleaning their food bowls and clean the litter. I first let them get used to me.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. My animal care experience begins on my uncle’s farm where I would help out with the chickens, the sheep and even the donkey. I loved taking care of animals so much that I became a camper at La Ferme d’André for 6 years. I also took part in the Youth Ambassador Program at the SPCA, where I got specialized training on dog and cat behaviour, and worked closely with special needs pets. I have been regularly petsitting since 2022. The animals I have taken care of include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, fish and rats. I have experience administering medicine, caring for seniors as well as puppies and kittens. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs! I’m currently working part time so I can dedicate the majority of my week to taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and at night as need be. I am eager to honour and respect every home that I visit and will happily follow any special instructions. Most pet owners I have sat for have requested daily pet pics, which I am more than happy to provide! I can also conduct house sitting tasks such as watering plants or opening/closing blinds at certain hours if need be.
About: I have a cat who I adore, and I just love cats in general! I understand the need to go at their pace and adapt to each cat's style for receiving affection, play, etc. I've done some dog walking work here and there for years. I started when I was a kid - I loved dogs, but my parents didn't want a dog so I started walking the dog of an older couple in my neighbourhood. :) I've grown up with dogs in my extended family and lived with roommates who had new dogs where I helped with walking and learned training strategies to support them. I've also done a bit of dog walking in Montreal. My experience with dog walking has been with mid-sized dogs, I'm open to walking a large dog if you're ok with someone who doesn't have prior experience. Just let me know any particular things I should know! I'm a student and my availability changes by the day, since the calendar only allows me to either cancel all times for day I'll put the specific times I am available here: Tuesday - anytime Wednesday - morning until 3pm Thursday - alternates every other week (check the calendar) between available anytime to available from 3pm till late Friday morning till 1pm or 7pm till late Saturday - anytime Sunday- anytime Monday - not available *for the fall semester, this will change by December! :) I am available to visit your pet at their home, and/or take them out for a walk. I can either spend some time with them at home, or take them for a walk if applicable!
“Mathieu est une personne très douce et respectueuse qui s’est super bien occupé de nos chats en notre absence ! Nous avons eu des nouvelles à chaque passage avec des photos montrant qu’ils ont bien été chouchoutés (gratouilles/ jeux). L’un de nos deux chat a un caractère plus difficile que l’autre. Il a su s’y s’adapter sans aucune crainte et avec facilité ce qui nous a permis de partir en étant très sereins. Merci à lui ! Nous referont appel à ses services avec grand plaisir !”

This feeling of love that can only be provided by dogs fuels my passion to take care of your dog as if it were my own. My cozy apartment is the perfect haven for any dog to feel right at home while they're under my care. I've designed it with warmth and welcome in mind, from the soft, comfortable bedding tucked away in quiet corners to the flood of natural light through large windows, creating cheerful spots for a dog to bask in. I've made sure to dog-proof the space, removing any hazardous items and ensuring there's plenty of secure areas for them to explore without getting into trouble. I've allocated ample space for toys and engaging activities, which keeps them mentally stimulated and physically active, even indoors. The peaceful, consistent routine I maintain helps any dog adapt quickly, providing them with a sense of security and belonging. Plus, living close to parks and walking paths means I can take them out for enjoyable walks and playtime, ensuring they get the exercise and exploration they crave.

I live in an apartment which is on 3rd floor of a building. Closed and safe doors and windows with big enough space for the pets to roam around and be their playful themselves. :)

Dina was very professional during our Meet & Greet and put me at ease, she was clearly experienced with dogs. She was punctual and provided photos during her check-in. I was free to enjoy my evening knowing Tilly had been comfortable enough to eat her dinner and had a fun outing. I would book Dina's services again!
He did an amazing job taking care of my dog! He was very patient, caring, and attentive, and he followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. He kept me updated and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of their pets. I will absolutely book with him again!
Morgan was absolutely amazing with Coco. From the moment we left him with Morgan, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took such great care of him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout her stay. It was clear that Coco was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. We’re so grateful for Morgan and would 100% trust her with Coco again. Thank you so much, Morgan! 🥰 ps: Coco is insulin-dependent and Morgan did well!!
