Pet Sitting Carroll Gardens

About: I'm a patient and attentive animal-lover with many years' experience handling others' pets as well as my own. I've leash-trained my own dog since he was a puppy and am very tuned in to the mood and energy of dogs generally. I've studied dog breeds since adolescence and understand the traits, habits, and needs of different breeds (terrier vs. hounds, working breeds vs. toy, mixed breeds, etc). I also have several years' experience with cats, having 2 of my since they were kittens. I'm a writer and artist, so I can make my schedule flexible around my bookings and whatever pet care may be needed. I am looking for both reoccurring clients and clients with sporadic care needs. I care for pets by adhering closely to the client's instructions. I return pet items where found and only provide treats if approved by the pet parent. If the pet has any quirks or special needs — habits, triggers, harness wear, etc. — I take note.

About: I love all animals and am happy to care for any pet! I grew up with a variety of pets in the house and have worked at a barn, so my care experience is broad. Over the years I’ve had my own puppies and senior dogs so I am well equipped with the patience and experience needed at all stages of life. I often care for cats and dogs of friends and family and am excited to help care for your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule, leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets whenever needed! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding at my apartment anytime. I have a 10 yr. old shih tzu who loves to make new pet friends. He’s a friendly and calming presence, used to sharing his home with other dogs and cats. As a trusted sitter for friends and family, we keep a clean and organized apartment to ensure the best saftey for pets in our care.

Ripley really seemed to warm up to her too, which is no small feat! We highly recommend her and would consider booking her again if we need another sitter.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
