Pet Sitting Lakefield

“I have used Michelle a number of times to take care of my cat Lola while I’m on vacation. Michelle does a fantastic job of getting to know the cat routine and likes in order for the cat to feel less stress about their owner being away. She also communicates well if she sees any changes or concerns I would highly recommend Michelle to watch anyone’s cat while they were away.”

“Shannon was great! Great communication prior to and during the drop in visit. I feel confident Archie was well taken care of during her time with him. I already have Shannon booked for future care and I’m sure Archie can’t wait 🐾💙.”

About: I have grown up always with a pet in the house and have a specific love for dogs. My most recent experience has been with my dog, Sparta. She is a whippet and I have had her for 4 years. I am currently a college student in University looking for opportunities dueing the semester. I do require more flexibility because of a class and practice schedule. I care for pets in the way that the owner most appropriately desires but will always love your pet as if they were my own!

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney. I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. I have been a dog trainer and dog sitter for over 10 years, and I truly have a passion for dogs. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. What sets my dog sitting and boarding services apart is my understanding of the canine mind and their unique needs for enrichment and reinforcement, crucial for their health and happiness. I have extensive training and real world experience training K9s and companion dogs which requires creativity, patience, and compassion. I also have extensive knowledge of various dog health issues, having cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and those with special needs. I firmly believe there are no 'bad' dogs and strive to cater to each client's specific needs. Reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs are always welcome in my care without judgment. Ensuring dogs' safety is my top priority because, like you, my dogs are family, and I treat every pet as such. Trusting somebody with your pets can be nerve wracking, and you can be assured the care, safety, and well being of your family member is taken seriously. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot Important note: I have a three day cancellation fee, so please be sure to let me know if your plans change as soon as possible. Last minute cancelations result in other pet parents unable to use my services, so I cannot wave or adjust for my fee. I appreciate clients understanding! Please note that dogs are not to be taken off property during their stay (Unless veterinary related) is it my main priority that pets are safe and secure in our home and yard. Our yard provides ample space for dogs to run, chase a ball, and play with their buddies. My drop off and pickup times are split between AM and PM. My drop off times range from 8-10AM, and 5-8PM. Times outside of those periods will be charged for a day or half day of daycare. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients. As a full-time dog trainer, I work from home alongside my lead trainer, so there is always someone at home! My commitment to being home means that the dogs receive continuous supervision and attention, enhancing safety and well-being. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and gardening in my small garden. When dogs stay at my home, safety is my top priority. To ensure a secure environment, I implement several measures. 1. Supervised Outside Play: Dogs are only allowed outside under direct supervision. This allows me to monitor their behavior, prevent any potential conflicts, and ensure they stay safe from external hazards. 2. Matching Play Styles: I carefully assess the play styles of each dog and only allow those with similar temperaments to interact. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts, promoting an enjoyable playtime for all dogs. 3. FI Collars. If requested by the pet parent, I use FI collars for safety. These smart collars provide real-time location tracking, ensuring an added layer of security. This technology helps me keep track of each dog’s whereabouts, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe. 4. Fence: Our property is 1/3 acre and includes a 6 foot fence. Dogs are carefully monitored and I implement 50 foot long lines if needed for escape artists.

“Emma did a fantastic job with our yorkipoo puppy! She was great with enrichment ideas that were safe for a puppy who recently got spayed. Her updates and pictures were perfect and we can’t wait to work with her more.”

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and have had cats of my own for 3 years. I have worked with all sizes and all breeds of dogs. I have experience with dogs in group settings, I worked on training, and administering medications including insulin. My main goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for all animals. I do work a full time job but have flexibility in the evenings and on weekends to ensure your pets are well exercised and well cared for! I care for pets in their own homes as to ensure that all pets are comfortable. I can administer any medications safely as well as crate pets if/ when needed.

“Paul did a wonderful job again caring for our two dogs while we were away. He promptly arrived at the scheduled times, gave them a lot of attention, and kept us updated with notes and cute pictures. It was great to know our dogs were being well cared for!”

About: I believe that the unconditional love that pets provide their owners is something very special and they deserve love and respect in return. Since I was a child, I have always had a pet in my home. Years ago, I worked as a receptionist and vet assistant caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom and have two cats. My friends and neighbors frequently ask me to care for their fur babies. They have relied on me to feed, walk, give pill medications, clean litter boxes, play and spend the weekend with their pets. I feel comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small breeds. I look forward to providing the quality time and the best care possible as your pet's caretaker. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends to provide care for your pets. I love all kinds of animals and will treat them as my own. Whether you need a quick drop in visit or an overnight stay, you and your furry family member can trust that I will provide exceptional service. Over the years, I have done overnight and weekend stays for friends, neighbors and family. I feel a pet is most comfortable in their own home and want them to feel safe and secure.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and in recent years, cats too, including one we found as an orphaned kitten, just a few weeks old, hiding in our backyard bushes. Nursing him through those fragile first months taught me a lot about patience, close observation, and gentle care, all things I bring to every pet I look after. By background, I’m a people nurse, so I’m comfortable with medications, mobility issues, senior pets, or anything unexpected that comes up. These days I’m an at-home mom and entrepreneur, which means I have flexibility during the day and evenings. Your pet will get consistent attention and someone who treats their routine, quirks, and comfort as a priority. I’d love to meet you and your pet and talk through exactly what they need. Since I’m home full-time as a mom and entrepreneur, pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed into a tight window. I can offer walks, feedings, or check-ins throughout the day. My schedule has a lot of built-in flexibility, so I can usually adjust to a pet’s routine rather than asking them to adjust to mine. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots for naps or play — so there’s as little disruption to their normal life as possible. I like to get a clear rundown from owners beforehand (feeding amounts, medications, quirks, favorite toys, anything that helps them feel secure) and I stay attentive to any signs something’s off, which is where my nursing background comes in handy

“Emma was absolutely amazing with our 2 very high energy boxers! From the start she was responsible, respectful and truly attentive to our dog’s needs. She handled their high energy routines perfectly. Making sure they’ve got plenty of love, care and exercise while she was here. It was clear that she treated them like her own. We came home to happy, calm dogs and couldn’t be more appreciative of her kindness and responsibility. We look forward to having her back soon.”

“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have a Yorkie myself that I've raised since 6 weeks. She is very friendly and has been spaded and vaccinated; she would love some company from time to time!! Dogs love that I am an active and playful person. I enjoy going on walks and the doggy park. Also, all dogs love a TREAT so they will play games and receive yummy treats!! I'm very passionate about dogs and that they to be treated with integrity and love. I really hate to see any type of animal undergo abuse and mistreatment when they did not ask to be here. I would see that your dog is well taken care of in my care. They'll love my doggy talk and playful nature for sure!!
