Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet loving family ready to help!
Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed.

Phenomenal job, went above and beyond for our Remy! Thank you ◡̈
Emilie and her girls were amazing! Very attentive and playful with our boy Remy!! They were trust worthy and on time for the visits. Thank you again!! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emilie and her family were incredible to deal with. I appreciated the photos and updates while I was away and Willow fit in so well
Emilie is great with our pets. She is reliable and cares for them as though they were her own. I would highly recommend Emilie for pet care!
Emilie and her family were fantastic! Our dog Disco stayed with them for a week and I feel he was very well cared for, and entertained with lots of attention. Emilie was great with communication throughout his stay. We walk by their home often, and Disco always pulls us over to say hi to them! I highly recommend Emilie.
Emilie and her family did an incredible job providing care for my dog last summer. Despite limited notice, they welcomed her into their home and family and offered enriching and considerate care. I was so grateful for their support and communication throughout and I know my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time there too, going on adventures together.

Schedule
My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!

A typical day
Our day usually starts around 7am. We tidy our beds and room and then go for a walk. We like our daily morning walks whether we have dogs with us or not! Then we have breakfast and start the day. We usually have outdoor time…park play, a long hike or a longer in the afternoon. In the evening the kids have some activities for 1-2 hrs. Then we gather to read or watch a show together and go to bed between 9-10pm.
