About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a house full of family dogs and cats as well as some guinea pigs. Throughout my childhood I spent years volunteering at my Father's veterinary clinic, where I learned how to safely handle animals, recognize behavior cues, support stressed and sick pets, and assist with daily animal care routines. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal health, patience, and the importance of building trust with each pet individually. In college I had the privilege to work as an Animal Ambassador Educator at the Sunset Zoo, where I cared for and handled a variety of animals while also teaching others about animal behavior, enrichment, and welfare through our ambassador animals. I also spent time working in a doggie daycare facility. This gave me experience supervising multiple dogs at once, understanding play styles and social behaviors, providing enriching activities, all while maintaining safe and structured care. What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, education, and genuine love for all animals. I’m comfortable and confident with pets of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including senior pets, shy animals, energetic pets, and those who need extra patience or routine consistency. I pay close attention to body language and behavior cues so pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a teacher, I’m attentive, organized, and communicative. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust those caring for their furry family members. I treat every pet with the same care and love I would want for my own fur babies. As a high school teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet throughout the week and on weekends, especially during the summer months. During the school year, I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and more. My schedule allows me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent so pets can maintain their normal routines and feel taken care for. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and routine. Because of that, I focus on providing attentive care in my clients’ homes through drop in visits, walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, medication support if needed, and quality time. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. With my background in veterinary, zoo, and daycare settings, I’m experienced in reading animal behavior, recognizing stress signals, and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I always prioritize secure handling, clean environments, routine consistency, and clear communication with owners. I also love keeping pets mentally and physically active. If desired, I’m happy to provide enrichment activities, outdoor adventures, walks, park visits, or extra exercise tailored to your pet’s energy level and comfort. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Whitney was so helpful and flexible in a pinch! Our dog was happy and healthy and we will definitely be reaching out again if we need help with him. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover (and unofficial dog sitter) since I was young and honestly, I like dogs more than most people! 😄 I’ve cared for pups of all kinds of personalities and treat every single one like my own. I’m all about belly rubs, playtime, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands! I live in a home alone, employed full time in the field of mechanics. Appointments are taken on my off days with a completely open schedule to allow full attention to your animal. My home has no pets in it, clean and very open floor plan. My yard is fenced, as well as a screen in porch to offer sunny day lay outs and people watching.

About: Note: I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you're away. At this time, we can not board your cat at our home. Thank you! **We try our hardest to keep our calendar up to date so be sure to make sure we are available the week/day your pup needs a vacay** My wife and I both love dogs! We have one miniature Dachshund who is our spoiled little baby! We both work 5 min from home and have a very flexible schedule so we come home several times a day to check on our pup and walk her so your dog is sure to get LOTS of love and attention as well as plenty of outside play time. We do prefer to keep only medium and small dogs. This is for both your pup's safety and comfort as well as ours. We understand how difficult it is to leave your fur-baby but we want to make it a little easier on both you and your baby! From daily pictures sent directly to you assuring you that your dog is having a blast on their own vacay to video chats with your pet via Skype or FaceTime so your baby can hear your voice and you can see them running around and playing! We live in a town home in Regent Park and have a huge grassy common area behind our house for your pup to play in! We just installed a fence and some fresh sod in our backyard so your pup is sure to enjoy being outside with us on top of their walks! We also have several trails that we like to walk and would love for your dog to join us (if you are ok with it and your dog enjoys sunset walks :) My wife is home most days and I work only five minutes from the house so we are available all day day to spend quality time with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and lots of extra space for your pups crate/bed so they can be sure to feel right at home.

“Ashley is a great pet sitter. She watched our older cat and gave him his medicine every day and lots of lap time. She met with us in advance to discuss all the needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

“Really liked Lucas! He paid great attention to detail and genuinely cared for our cats. He also took a lot of pictures which is very appreciated. :)”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my house since I was a kid. I love animals more than I love people, and I always find genuine connections with them! Since moving here, I’ve been trying to meet more animals! I am a part-time student, and I’m using this as a way to meet more pets in my area! I give all dogs lots of cuddles, ear scratches, massages, and lots of love! I am very accommodating to their needs, and I’m very flexible!

“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
