Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & reliable pup & kitty mom
Hi, thank you for visiting! 🩷🐶🐱 I am Antonella and I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario. I work from home and I’m available for boarding, drop-ins and dog walking. I have more than 15 years experience in pet ownership as the primary caregiver but I have lived with pets my entire life. I was a volunteer at the Toronto humane society for over 5 years in the feline department where I was given training on behavioural issues in cats. I can successfully administer various types of medication with ease and gentle care. I promise to provide lots of love and care to your pets and provide you with plenty of photo and video updates to put your mind at ease. In my spare time, I volunteer with Eddie’s Network, which helps reunite lost dogs with their owners. If you’re looking for days that seemed blocked off our would like to learn more about me, just send me a message ☺️

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Leaving Chewie and Lando for four days is not something I take lightly, and from Thursday to Monday they were cared for with so much attention, patience, love, and genuine care that I never once felt anxious about them being away from home. They were treated like family the entire time. Constant updates, photos, thoughtful communication, and so many small touches that went far beyond what anyone would reasonably expect from a dogsitter. You can immediately tell Anto is someone who truly understands dogs, their personalities, routines, comfort levels, and emotional needs. Chewie and Lando came home happy, relaxed, loved, and honestly a little spoiled. Above and beyond doesn’t even fully cover it. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, kind, and genuinely exceptional at what they do, I would recommend Antonella without hesitation. Truly one of the best Rover experiences we’ve ever had.

Antonella is wonderful! I am a nervous dog mom when it comes to having others care for my pup. I have a long list of criteria for anyone I would even consider interviewing. Antonella met all those requirements and then some. Her and her lovely pup Yuzu made my dog feel right at home. She kept me in the loop with Good Morning pictures and nighttime summaries of the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog. I have already booked her again for my summer Europe trip with no stress. Thanks You Antonella!
Antonella helped taking care of my sweet boy, buddy, during a month while I was visiting family in France. I know my dog received so much love by the way he ran to Antonella when we met on the streets afterwards. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely call her again if I need a hand with my sweet boy.
Antonella took great care of my 6 year old spaniel mix, Marney. Antonella walked her, fed her, and boarded her for a week. Antonella provided daily photo updates of Marney so there was no stress on vacation. Came home to a happy and healthy dog. 10/10 would recommend.
Antonella is a friendly and knowledgeable pet owner and sitter. A true animal lover, she has a wealth of experience with both cats and dogs. She also has great tips and tricks for pet care that she is happy to share so I am quite comfortable with her care when it comes to older pets and ones with medical issues. She is super reliable and communicative, I have no hesitation when it comes to trusting her with my cat, Finnegan.

Pets
A typical day
I live near numerous parks and visit them 2-3 times a day! On weekends, we hike the nearby trails, which offers cooler temperatures in the summer. It’s an easy hike for dogs of all sizes and ages.
