Cat Sitting Westover

About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.

About: Animals have always been one of the greatest loves of my life. They’re family to me, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I have experience with both dogs and cats, with my deepest experience coming from loving and caring for my own two dogs: Rocky, who was by my side for nearly 18 years, and Snoopy, who is nine years old. Caring for them through different stages of life has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how much the little things matter, including familiar routines, gentle reassurance, and noticing when they need extra comfort. I have a special soft spot for senior pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and pace. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet company, or extra cuddles, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. My promise is simple: to care for your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I would want for my own. Caring for pets is already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I plan each booking around the time and attention your pet needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We can discuss your usual routine and confirm availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. Before each booking, I’ll learn about their routine, personality, dietary needs, and anything that helps them feel secure. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and respect your home when caring for them there. You can also expect photos and updates, so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

“Danielle was very kind to my Oliver, she took the time to update me, send photos on the regular and care for my cat as if he was her own. Will hire again ☺️”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, growing up surrounded by them and honing my care skills through professional work at an animal shelter, giving me hands on experience with all types of pets and their unique needs. I’m attentive to every pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe and loved at all times. I’m mostly at home every single day, meaning your pet will get constant supervision, attention, and care. They will have plenty of time for play, snuggles, and potty breaks whenever they need them. My home is a pet friendly space designed for fun and comfort: there’s open space for running and playing, a huge selection of toys to keep pups entertained, and tasty treats for positive reinforcement and special moments. I have a gentle 8 month old kitten who’s LOVES playing with other animals, making the space calm and welcoming. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize a safe, secure environment where they can relax and be themselves.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover. I enjoy walking, hiking, and spending time with dogs of all sizes. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm offering boarding and dog walking services within the Hamilton area. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I'd be excited to welcome pet sitting and dog walking into my weekly routine and provide other pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I'd want for my own. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I prioritize their safety, comfort, exercise, and well-being while following the owner’s instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment.

“Kaeley, was beyond and above my expectations, my very scared cat Max, was comfortable with her, which is the main concern of mine. I was quite pleased with her communication and pictures she sent me. She is very clean, quiet and respects your home...I highly recommend her..and would book her again ..”

About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!

I have experience with variety of cat temperaments and breeds and feel confident in ability to provide care to ensure your furbabies are comfortable and safe. I provide pet care on weekday evenings and throughout the day on the weekends. I also provide pet care on Wednesday and Thursdays during the day when I work remotely! Committed to providing care that ensures each owner will feel confident that their pete are feeling comfortable, safe and cared for. Am reliable and often send updates of my time so that you can feel assured during your time away from your furbaby.

About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.
