Pet Sitting in Canadensis

“Katherine treats your pets like her own! What a wonderful experience we had with her - will absolutely be rebooking her!! We loved how quickly our pets warmed up to her - two dogs who don't socialize often but clearly loved her from all the amazing photos she took! I was so at ease leaving my pups with her I'd be comfortable doing it again in a heartbeat! She's simply amazing!”

“Second time with Grace and very pleased. She even helped us out by taking a video of storm damage so we could quickly get a tree removal service. So appreciated this. Highly recommend. Love the pictures she sends me of my fur babies (cats). Will definitely use again.”

“A constant 5 star sitter for our cat. They have come in snow rain and hail over the years. If you need a person who will care about your pet and their needs, this is your one stop shop.”

Dick R.

“AWESOME! I received a ton of pictures and videos everyday. I was afraid my one cat was going to leave home because he was given so much attention lol. Rochelle and her family are absolutely beautiful people. I knew when they came for the introductory visit that my kitties would be fine. ❤”

About: As a Certified Dog Trainer and seasoned privately insured professional with six years of experience handling dogs in the competitive show ring, my approach to pet care is built on a foundation of expertise that extends well beyond standard sitting. My work has involved guiding dogs across all breed groups, from high energy Sporting breeds to the Gentle Giants, using only positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods. I reject the use of intimidation or aversive tools, instead, my techniques are rooted in patience, a deep understanding of canine behavior, and current scientific principles. This extensive background means your pet is never left alone beyond our agreed upon times, nor are they ever exposed to unknown animals or guests without your consent. My training in first aid and CPR ensures I can identify a medical emergency immediately and transport your pet to an ER if necessary, providing you with complete peace of mind. Furthermore, because every interaction is guided by my professional philosophy, you can be confident that no punitive corrections will ever be used on your animal. I specialize in supporting fearful, reactive, and anxious dogs, helping them build confidence through structured, compassionate guidance. Whether maintaining training regimens, socializing puppies, or catering to special needs pets, I tailor every visit to the individual animal’s personality. My years in the show world have also cultivated a sharp eye for canine health, structure, and proper physical conditioning, ensuring your dog receives attentive, knowledgeable oversight. To maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I do not care for pets on raw food diets, as research indicates they can shed pathogenic bacteria at levels that pose a risk to humans and other animals. The well-being of my clients is my priority, and I adhere to strict hygiene protocols to keep everyone happy and healthy. Currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing lively walks, enrichment activities, and a low-stress alternative to boarding by keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I look forward to discussing how I can provide your dog or cat with the expert care they deserve. As a student focused on building my pet care business this summer, my schedule is wide open and fully dedicated to my clients. I confirm availability right away and am typically able to accommodate last minute requests. Just ask and I'll let you know immediately. Whether you need early morning visits, evening care, or weekend support, I have the flexibility to be there when your pet needs me. I prioritize fear-free, positive reinforcement techniques tailored to each pet's specific needs, whether that means helping a reactive dog feel secure or keeping a high energy pup happily engaged. My experience includes medical care and rehabilitation, so I follow all protocols precisely, from medications and mobility support to post-op instructions, while keeping you updated throughout every visit. Handling is always low-stress and never forced, and I provide customized mental and physical stimulation through puzzle games, scent work, and enrichment activities. I also conduct quiet environment checks to ensure spaces are pet-proofed and free of hazards. With my background in medical care, I remain vigilant for any health concerns and am fully comfortable with injections, special diets, and post-surgical needs. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's normal routines to minimize anxiety and always leave your home cleaner than I found it.

“I’m so happy I found Jahada! She is a reliable and experienced animal lover. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask her to watch Riley and Cinnabun again.”

About: My entire life I have had a passion for all animals. Growing up I always had dogs. They were mainly large gentle giants. Great Dane, mastiff, newfoundland, boxer, English bulldog, shitzu, Maltese. Each and every one had their own beautiful personality and I clung to every single one. I've been dogsitting for close friends and just word of mouth. I would absolutely love to do more with pets and gain more experience with animals. Currently I have a 1 year old high energy boxer and a 5 year old cat who thinks he is a dog. The dogs I am watching go on walks, hang out in their yard, on cold days i will play with them inside or just sit with them to be company. They get treats for being good boys and girls.

“Megan followed our instructions, and provided photos and information about her drop-in visits. We are very happy about her care for our dog during our day trip!”

“Super communicative and easy to work with!”

About: I’ve taken care of foster cats, chicken, and dogs larger than me for over a decade! Folk have often relied on me whenever a safe presence is needed for their animals to gain trust around. I am currently a freelance artist, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your animals! I also adore the outdoors, so any sort of walks around neighborhoods are also a yes! Pets are family, period. They deserve the respect and love anyone else should get, so my approach to mine wouldn’t be any different to yours. Mine are regularly groomed, played with, trained well enough to respond to my voice, the works. They get all the affection and yummy treats as well!

About: I had an adult dog for 6 years who unfortunately passed a couple years ago. When he became a senior, it was like I had a whole new dog that I had to learn more about to take care of. He was my best friend, and I miss him a lot. Now that I'm in college, I can't have any pets, but I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away. This summer I will have lots of free time off from college. I can visit your fur baby whenever you need me to, for walks, feeding, play time, etc! In your home, I will follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way that YOU want them taken care of. We'll play, go on walks, relax, and they will be fed on the schedule that they follow! I'll treat them like my own and make sure they're safe and happy.

“Nicole was great! All animals were happy and healthy when we returned home! At the meet and greet, she even offered to water any plants and check on mail as well! We will definitely be returning customers.”

“Tara was amazing with our pup Henry! He felt comfortable and happy with her. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend Tara if you’re looking for someone caring and reliable to care for your pet!”

“Brittney is absolutely amazing!!! we took a trip for the first time in a long time and it is also unfortunately the first time that our dog was completely by herself due to losing our other dog recently. Our dog is sweet, but extremely sensitive and nervous even though she’s 75 pounds of intimidating looking dog haha. Brittney took extra time (especially in the fist visits) to allow our dog to get comfortable with her and by the second day our dog was excited to see her and they were best buds!! 💗🐾💗🐾💗🐾we are already planing our next trip and booking with Brittney again!!!”

“Elizabeth was professional and accommodating. I needed a last minute sitter for my 3 month old puppy and 7 year old lab and she responded fast and we were able to set everything up for the next day. She sends updates and pictures throughout her stay. She was great with both of my dogs and they loved her. I came home and couldn’t even tell anyone was there. I will book with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!

“Amelia was super reliable and kept us updated (with pictures!) each visit with Jax. We are SO happy we found her and will definitely count on her for future dog sitting!”

Christine D.

“Candice did a great job with my Jax, I would recommend her services to anyone who needs a reliable drop in visitor to take care of their furry baby”

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.
