Dog Walking Mapleton-Flatlands

About: Hi there! As a dog caretaker, I am warm, patient, communicative, and incredibly detail-oriented. No amount of information is too much information—please share whatever will help you and your furry baby feel cared for. I began my journey by taking care of a friend’s husky mix puppy two years ago and have been dog-sitting ever since! The feedback I often receive is that even the most hyper active dogs become calmer in my presence overtime. My schedule is fairly flexible because I am in the arts! I can work with your busy schedule and coordinate a time that works best for you both. In your home, I like to replicate the dog’s usual routine. I am very vigilant and like to keep with up with their pace. I am willing to work with you to support any of your friend’s special needs, nuances or quirks.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood. I got my first cat when I was 8, later I had a dog, and since then caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 4 cats of my own, including pets with special medical needs, and I take pet care very seriously. My mom runs a rescue in my home country, so helping animals is something truly family-based for me. For me, this is not just extra income, I treat pet care as a serious responsibility, and I understand how much trust owners place when leaving their pets with someone. I have experience with rescue animals, senior pets, and cats with serious health conditions, including diabetes, urinary issues, post-surgery recovery, and cancer care. I am calm, patient, and very attentive to detail. Skills & Experience: 1) Administering insulin injections and basic medications 2) Caring for diabetic pets and monitoring health conditions 3) Experience with oncology (cancer) and post-surgery recovery care 4) Senior pet care (gentle handling, comfort-focused care) 5) Cat care: feeding routines, litter care, behavior observation 6) Nail trimming for cats 7) Basic teeth cleaning 8) Dog walking and general dog care experience 9) Experience rescuing and fostering around 10 cats 10) Reliable pet sitting for friends and family when they travel I always treat every pet as my own and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on specific days. Right now, I am available on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I can do morning, afternoon, or even late-night visits depending on the booking. I already care for my own cats every day, including a very strict medical routine. I regularly check blood glucose levels and administer insulin injections twice a day. Because of this, I’m very responsible, consistent, and comfortable following precise schedules without missing details. Even though my availability is limited to certain days, I fully dedicate my time and attention during visits. I make sure every pet receives proper care, monitoring, and calm, attentive support. I always prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I carefully follow each pet’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and special medical needs. I have experience with cats requiring insulin injections, health monitoring, and strict daily routines, so I am very responsible and detail-oriented. In any home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, and I always keep their environment clean and secure.

“Ashanti was great! She sent lots of pictures and was a good communicator!”

“Absolutely lifesaver! I had a last minute change in my plans, requiring a last minute sitter and Yahnzy came to the rescue. Yahnzy, was super communicative throughout the process and I can tell my dog loved the company and I felt at ease knowing my furry child was in good hands. Highly recommended!”

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats my whole life. Family, friends, neighbors, and more have trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their pets. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to care for your furbabies! I am available for sitting and walks on weekends and weekdays. I am committed to caring for a pet down to every last detail, ensuring that they feel safe, energized, and happy. I am always willing to go that extra mile (both figuratively and literally on our walks!).

“Ella took such good care of my boy during walks/check-ins. She was very communicative and has so many cute picture updates! Highly recommend and I know Benny can’t wait to see her again 🩷”

“Kadeisha is a lifesaver! We needed help last minute with our babies and usually have them in boarding, but never again - Kadeisha is our go-to from now on. She not only braved extreme cold weather without complaint, but our dogs loved her immediately. Our dogs are skittish of humans because of their past, but they felt comfortable with her right away. AND the pictures she takes are another level - our dogs look like models! 🤣 We can't wait to use her for boarding and daycare going forward.”

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for pets for more than 12 years, mostly helping friends and people close to me whenever they traveled or needed someone they could trust. During that time, I’ve looked after both cats and dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I always treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s hands. My goal is to give owners peace of mind and make sure their pets are happy and well looked after until they return home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to pet care. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I also offer overnight stays in pet owners’ homes when needed, so dogs and cats can stay in their familiar environment and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible and caring, and I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide a calm, structured, and highly attentive environment designed to support each animal’s emotional and physical well-being. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines with precision, including feeding schedules, litter box care, hydration, playtime, and rest, in order to minimize stress and ensure continuity while their owner is away. I keep the environment consistently clean, organized, and safe, paying close attention to details such as fresh water, hygiene of feeding areas, and overall home tidiness. During overnight stays, I offer steady companionship and reassurance, ensuring pets feel secure and never isolated. I also closely observe each pet’s behavior, appetite, and mood, and I proactively communicate any changes to the owner to ensure full transparency and peace of mind.

“Alexandra was great! On time, took care of our babies while I was out of town, a great communicator and we trust her fully. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with Black & Tan Coonhound/Beagle mixes. Experience with administering oral and topical medications. I've done overnight stays, sporadic check-ins, and leisurely walks. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to stop by in the morning between 8 and 11 AM, and most evenings after 6:30 PM. These timeframes are general, but please know that they can change if I have a work obligation (e.g, one morning is 8-9:30 AM) I give the pets I care for patience, attention, and love - I even talk to them as if they were a friend. I can't resist giving them a healthy treat (or two!)

About: As soon as I moved out my Mothers house (my mom was allegedly allergic to all animals) the first thing I got before getting my first couch was a cat. I’ve always been a cat lover, they bring me so much joy and peace and would love to be able to take care of your little ones when you need someone to make sure they’re being looked after. I currently have a 1 year old named Yumi 🐈‍⬛ and a 1 month old kitten named Rami 🖤 🐈 They’re both super sweet. Yumi is usually very closed off in the beginning which is why I separate the cats initially and then slowly initiate an introduction with your fur babies to create a more peaceful atmosphere for everybody. I’ll be working part time. So I am free virtually all weekend. Plus late afternoon/evenings on weekdays! But I’m flexible, just reach out and let me know we can work something out. I live in a nice sized one bedroom apartment where there’s enough room for everyone to play. I have an elevator in my building so it’s very accessible for everybody.

About: For the last decade, I’ve spent time lending a helpful hand to furry friends as a dog-walker and pet-sitter. I’ve worked with pit bulls to tabby cats and I believe in the golden rule of pet care - anyone with a wagging tail is a good boy/girl. As a freelancer with my own start up communications consultancy company, ROMADOJA, I approach all new interaction and services with thoroughness, positivity, and flexibility. I’m also a former lifeguard and swim instructor so I’m more than comfortable with making others comfortable and safe in unfamiliar, new spaces and dynamics. Instead of keeping my talents and secret pet whisper ways to family and friend’s pets, I’m on Rover ready to claim the title of your bestie’s other bestie. I’m good with curious puppies, older, wiser hounds and any other personality trait attached to your pet.

“Molly is very responsive and lovely. Initiated a meet up to get to know my dog a little better before the walk. Will definitely recommend and book her services again”

“Rosalie is reliable, engaged, and Charlie seems to like her.”

“As a first time user of rover I was a little worried at first not knowing what to expect from the service. However, Brittany blew away all of my expectations! She did an outstanding job walking my dog while I was out of town for a funeral and quite last minute as well! I cannot say enough about how great the experience was. I highly recommend her and she will be my go-to from now on!!!”
