About: I've had dog companions most of my life. I treat them like family as they should be. My neighbors and friends are amazed at how well behaved and happy our dogs are. Looking forward to sharing my past experience with you and your family member. I am recently retired and have a very flexible working schedule. I am a morning person so naturally awake early and eager to get the day started. Our family pet loves getting up early as well and loves the cold weather, which makes me prepared for the day ahead. If I have an early appointment my wife or daughter handle his walks. My dogs have always been well trained, social with humans and other dogs, and responsive to my commands. I developed a trusting relationship with them based on praise and not punishment. My dogs are eager to do tricks for rewards and love playing and going for long walks.

About: Hi! I’ve had pets of all kind all my life. As an adult, when I bought my own home it wasn’t long before I started adopted animals of my own. I went to school to be a vet tech but decided not to pursue it as my career. I have worked at doggy daycares, in veterinary offices and one point did pet sitting and walking full time. I have worked with all kinds of animals and loved every minute of it. It makes me so happy and seems to come naturally. My dog Buddy and I have been making friends everywhere we go. I have an Instagram page where I post all the fun I have with animals and updates on your pet! I took a break from pet care for a while but have changed careers and I work part time in outreach now. I am really flexible around it and excited to be able to spend time with all the pets again. I love paying attention to animals psychology and personalities. It’s really so special. So whatever it takes to make your pets feel safe and happy I am willing to go that extra mile. I work part time with only a few times a week that I have to leave home for short periods. So I can do drop ins or walks early in the morning, mid day or in the evenings most days. I love a walk or a play session but I can also administer medication in anyway you need. Im used to having chill pets but have taken care of many high energy dogs as well and know the value of some good play time.

About: My friends and family come to me as the animal person as I gently get to know their pets and allow them the space to know me. I can befriend rather quickly but also at the pace their animal is comfortable with. I always try to be a calming presence that doesn't force an interaction while also taking care from far away. I usually work at night-time in theatre allowing me to have my entire day available for animals but my schedule is the opposite on weekends. I am more than willing to spend most of my day with animals. I will make sure to communicate with you about where you are comfortable with your pet being. I won't allow behavior that you don't allow from your pet. I will make sure to reinforce your rules while also maintaining care.

About: I am a former veterinary technician, pet sitter and have been caring for pets personally or professionally for over 25 years. I am a true animal lover and I have experience caring for amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates, small animals, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, horses, goats, other livestock and fish. I am pretty comfortable with any animal and can provide excellent loving care. I can administer medications, injections and other therapies and have lots of experience with geriatric care of elderly pets. I also have experience with teaching basic obedience, and leash walking skills and offer training services. I love teaching a pet a new behavior or command - especially puppies! I am also a horticulturist and can provide care for your houseplants! I am self-employed full time and work at home, so I can provide your pet with frequent attention, and lots of outside breaks and playtime. I am currently booking full time, daily and weekends. I have availability for drop offs (dogs) or small animals in their own enclosures, home visits or walks, boarding short or long term. I am flexible with drop off times as long as they are discussed in advance. I am also offering transport services to vet or grooming appointments. IF YOU NEED ANY OF THE ABOVE SERVICES FOR A SPECIES NOT LISTED ON ROVER, OR HAVE A MIX OF SPECIES PLEASE MESSAGE ME TO DISCUSS RATES. I offer a FREE 30min. MEET & GREET at a coordinated location with you and your pet to make sure I am a good fit. For boarders and daily drop offs, the meet & greet will take place at my home (outside due to Covid), to make sure your pet will get along with mine. For dog walks and drop ins, MEET & GREETS will be at your location. I offer a 10% discount for military, first responders, and teachers. Please let me know if any apply to you. I provide a fun, caring environment that meets your pets needs. Safety and is my number one priority as your pet sitter. For drop off care or boarding in my home, I have a fun, safe, large fenced back yard, perfect for running around and exploring. For home visits I always refer to my clients for best practices regarding safety with their pets. Every pet is different so I use a flexible approach based on my clients and their pets needs. FOR BOARDERS AND DAILY DROP OFF CLIENTS * Your pet MUST be friendly with CHILDREN and DOGS as both live on the premises. * All pets must be up to date on their RABIES if applicable for your pets species. * To prevent parasites from being introduced into my environment, all pets need to be currently on flea/tick medications. ** Grooming services are offered exclusively through Diamond Dogs grooming in Hamilton. If you'd like to add this service message me for a quote on grooming services.

Tania was a lifesaver. She was so personable from our very first meeting. She just clicked with Cooper. He liked her immediately. She was prompt for his walks each day and gave him a good amount of time outside exercising. I felt totally at ease knowing he was well cared for. Thank you Tania we will be using you again.

Amrita was an amazing sitter. Our two dogs (chocolate lab & chihuahua) can be a handful, and she took great care of them during her drop-in. She followed all dog and house requests, was punctual, and communicated with us the entire time. We look forward to her watching our boys overnight in a few weeks.
