About: I have owned & operated Joy’s Rescue since November 2015 rescuing over 80+ animals from dogs, cats & pocket pets. I have worked with all age ranges & worked with a lot of special needs animals. In past even finding accurate prognosis & saving lives. If you have any extra pets beyond cats and dogs we can arrange something that works best for everyone! I love absolutely all animal as my own - no matter how long I get with them. I am personally available whenever is needed. Any prior obligations can be worked around. Your pets come first always, whatever schedule your pet has is now mine own. I always request to go to clients house, based on operating a rescue from my home & this provides less change and less stress on all pets not having to loose their owner and be relocated all in the same day. Keeping them happy, safe and stress free is priority on all accounts.
“Jacqueline did an amazing job taking care of our babies. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent lots of great picks. We will definitely have her back for other events.”

About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.
“Absolutely recommended Remy 100%. I was so happy to come home and the house was clean, the dogs were happy. I sincerely appreciate this so much. I am so glad I found someone for helping me and I will definitely reach out to Remy as a first contract in the future.”

“Marcus is the perfect dog sitter. We have an older dog - a soft coated Wheaten terrier - who is 13 years old. We had planned a trip of a lifetime to Africa, but our main concern was our baby. The thought of leaving our 13 year old dog in a kennel was so concerning. Marcus came to the rescue and answered all of our concerns so we could enjoy our trip. Marcus is a reliable, dependable, caring animal lover as are we. To be able to keep our baby in our home so she had all her normal routines made our trip one we could thoroughly enjoy. I would highly recommend Marcus.”

“Belle was awesome! She was on time, communicative, and very loving towards my dogs. She made sure that my dog received his medication twice daily and sent lots of pictures so I wouldn’t miss them too much. 10/10 would book again!”


About: 🐾 About Me I’m a wildlife biologist and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and species. 🐰 At Home I have a 4-year-old free-roam, litter-trained bunny, so I’m very comfortable with routines, gentle handling, and attentive daily care. 🐱🐶 Pet-Sitting Experience • Cared for senior cats while owners traveled, following detailed feeding/medication instructions and providing regular updates • Rescued cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies while traveling in Southeast Asia — providing food, baths, shelter, and vet visits 🐢🦜 Exotics Welcome • Volunteered at the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (animal husbandry) • Experience caring for reptiles and parrots, including helping rehabilitate a parrot from an abusive situation 💛 My Care Style Calm, reliable, and detail-oriented. I treat every animal like my own and love sending photo and message updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can be home throughout the day. This allows me to plan my time around your pet’s needs — whether that’s extra walks, playtime, medication, or quiet companionship — and provide consistent, attentive care with plenty of one-on-one time 🐾💛 When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your space and your animal with the utmost respect. I follow your routines and house rules closely, keep doors and gates secure, double-check leashes and enclosures, and ensure a calm, low-stress environment. I’m attentive to behavior changes, proactive about safety, and experienced with everything from seniors to exotics. Your home is left as I found it, and you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet — and your space — are in safe, caring hands 🐾💛
