“Lindsey did an outstanding job taking care of our pets while we were away. She showed patience, understanding, and sensitivity to 3 cats that weren't used to their owners being away. Within a couple of day's they warmed up to her nicely, which greatly reduced their stress, as well as the stress from their owners. We really appreciate Lindsey's attention to detail, and she will always be our first choice if she is available when it is time for us to be away again.”


“Natacha was an incredible dog sitter who exceeded all of our expectations! She stayed overnight in our home to care for our two dogs, Joey and Phoebe, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She expertly managed the different needs of our puppy and senior dog, keeping us updated throughout her stay to reassure us that everything was going smoothly. She took the time to fully understand their routines and behaviors, making sure they felt calm and comfortable. Her patience and dedication made all the difference. When we returned, not only was our home spotless, but Joey and Phoebe were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Natacha’s genuine care and attention gave us such peace of mind, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!”

About: I've owned and taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. With being done school now it has given me many new skills for animal care. I can come and care for your lovely pets at any time, we can discuss what times you would need and if I can make it work then there is no problem. If it's not a time I can then I will let you know other options . When going for walks with dogs I always bring a bowl and lots of water for them. I will follow any instructions that you leave for your pets such as feeding schedule and medication if needed.

“I am extremely happy with the care Jordan provided to my two dogs. One of my dogs can be reactive around strangers but she took to Jordan right away. The other is a strong 75lb lab and Jordan had no problem controlling him on lead for a walk. She sent updates and pictures every day of my trip and went above and beyond to treat my kiddos like they were her own. She even checked in with me after the booked timeframe to make sure I had returned safely and that the dogs were ok. I will definitely use Jordan’s service in the future and highly recommend her to all.”


“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”


“Nicole is absolutely amazing!!! Took fantastic care of my Minnie girl, who had just come home from the hospital and been diagnosed with pancreatitis. My dog is active and Nicole kept her entertained all day while I was gone. I loved the picture updates. Nicole was a life saver and as a small business owner and a military spouse it can be difficult to find a doggy sitter.

About: I have had dogs since I was 6 years old but as an adult I’ve had my own for the last five years. I have a one and a half year old Labrador Retriever and a Six year old German Shepard Malinois mix. I make sure to take my dogs for walks at least once a day and we also go for weekly adventures. To me having dogs brings a whole new level of companionship to life. They are my whole world and having the opportunity to care for other peoples furry friends would be something that is so special to me! I currently am self employed so most of my day is spent at home working on my laptop! If your pupper follows a certain schedule I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed. I think it is extremely to maintain a pets routine! For my dogs we get up everyday around 7 and then I let take them outside to go potty, following that we eat breakfast, go for a walk, and then about every 2/3 hours I take them potty, then at night they eat dinner at 5:30, followed by either another walk. If there is a routine that your pet has I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed!

In a client’s home, I provide attentive care by sticking to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keeping their environment clean, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I respect your home and keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away!”

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

About: I have a deep love for every animal I meet. I have a dog of my own at home that I love and play with unconditionally, making him a great play pal for other pets. I am also a certified Personal Support Worker, giving me knowledge and a high level of observation when it comes to caring and helping others, including animals. I have always grown up with having dogs and cats which has given me the experience to put my heart and soul into making sure they are trained and cared for properly. I will always treat an animal that's not my own, like my own, with respect and dignity. I currently work a part-time job at Extend-A-Family Kingston as a Integrated and Diversity Facilitator. My availability calendar is constantly updated to correspond with my work schedule. I am always available on weekends. Walking service/House sitting-I love walking, no matter the weather conditions! With my own dog being on a four walks a day routine, I will always ensure your pet is getting the required exercise they need and more! When caring for a pet in their own home, I always make sure I have a list of prepared questions to ask the pet owner about their pets routine, and items required to provide a success walk/house sitting experience. Boarding: I have pet proofed my home, making it a safe space for everyone. My neighborhood has multiple walking routes, giving a dog (or cat) an excellent variety of paths to take. My client's pets will be on a scheduled eating routine (unless instructed otherwise).
