Mature Work-at-Home Dog Sitter

I have owned and taken care of dogs from puppy to senior years for 23 years and worked with a therapy dog program as a volunteer for five years. I work from home and am in part retired. I can therefore give your pup the love and attention they need throughout the day. I also love taking pet photos and making videos. I’m always happy to provide clients with visual updates. As well as sitting, I can take on dog walking clients who are withing walking diatance of my home (one block west of Queen and Dufferin.

Earl is a nice calm presence for Bruno - who can mope around a bit when his routine changes. Thanks so much for this second round of dog sitting!

Earl was communicative, respectful and took excellent care of Loki. He is knowledgeable about dogs and his experience with them is a definite asset.

Earl watched our dog on super short notice and was incredibly responsive and dependable. When my friend picked up Zala, she looked genuinely sad to leave Earl’s side. Thank you for taking such great care of her, Earl!

I would highly recommend Earl as a pet sitter. Earl and his dog Tatti have been volunteers with CAMH's pet therapy program for 5 years. Earl dedicated his time and commitment to the clients, he is patient, respectful and responsible. He would care for your pet as though it's his own. He enjoys walks, likes to engage in conversation with other dog owners and would exercise your pet according to your wishes. It has been a pleasure to have Earl and Tatti apart of our volunteer program.

Schedule

I work exclusively from home (part-time), so I am able to care for the dog both day and evening. I can provide 3-5 walks per day depending on the pups' energy level.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a condo with a park across the street. I don't have either other pets or children. I am partially retired and work remotely, so I can provide much love, attention, and play with any dog that I sit. I have a wide selection of safe toys for play. Besides, I am a very active individual Long walks are part of my regular schedule.

A typical day

I work from home, so I have regular indoor play sessions. I have a nearby park and lots of dog friendly stores and patios in my neighbourhood. Depending on the owner’s preference, I can take the dog to a nearby leash-free dog park.

Please let me know of any special needs your dog may have in advance. so we can determine a care plan. I am used to giving dogs various medications. Please note that I live in a condo, so I am unfortunately unable to sit any dogs with aggressive tendencies toward animals and people. Please also note that I am unable to accommodate dogs that are not housetrained or trained to use pee pads.
