Availability
I am a recent graduate and freelance filmmaker who works from home, which means I am available and present throughout the day, every day. My weekly schedule is genuinely flexible — I am fully available Monday through Sunday. The rest of my time is spent working from my computer at home, responding to emails, editing, and working on grant submissions, so your pet will never be alone for long stretches. In the afternoons I go for a run through the neighbourhood trails surrounding my building — for high-energy dogs, this is a fantastic opportunity to get out, burn some energy, and really stretch their legs. Evenings are quiet and relaxed at home, which means your pet has calm, consistent company right through the night. I take one pet at a time and accept no other visits or bookings during that period, so whoever is in my care always has my full and undivided attention.

About Finnian G.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an explicitly pet-friendly apartment building with a large living room that gets plenty of natural light — a calm, comfortable space for any animal to settle into. I work from home, so I am present and attentive throughout the day and will always be available to respond to whatever your pet needs in any given moment, whether that's a walk, some playtime, or simply quiet company nearby. I have a car and am able to transport your pet if needed, including in the event of an emergency. I believe strongly in letting animals set the pace — I will never force interaction and will always give your pet the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. I live with a roommate who is typically out of the house during the day at work, so your pet will generally have a calm, low-traffic environment. He is very comfortable around animals and completely supportive of the arrangement. I take one pet at a time and do not accept any other visits or drop-ins during a booking, so your animal never has to share the space or my attention with another pet. For cats, I have a litter box, scratcher, and toys available. For dogs, I have great walking trails immediately surrounding my building and am happy to take them out as often as they like — and for high-energy breeds, my afternoon runs are an excellent outlet. I also offer drop-in visits at your home, doggy daycare, and house sitting for owners who would prefer their pet stay in their own familiar surroundings. I will send daily photos and updates throughout any booking so you always know exactly how your pet is doing, and I am reachable by phone or message throughout the day.

Pet care experience
I grew up surrounded by animals from the very beginning — literally. Two Ragdoll cats looked after me as a baby, and by kindergarten I was raising my own Maine Coon, Izzy, alongside two other Maine Coons and a Bernese Mountain Dog named Lulu. My parents taught me early that caring for animals means paying close attention to what each one needs in any given moment, and that lesson has stayed with me. Later, when my Mom adopted a Dachshund puppy, I learned firsthand how differently smaller breeds think, move, and communicate — and how much you have to adapt your approach to meet them where they are. Every pet I have cared for I have been with for their entire life, which means I understand the real differences between caring for a senior dog and a younger one, and take that responsibility seriously. Currently I live in a house without any pets of my own so I can provide my undivided attention to your pet. My apartment issurrounded by great walking trails and am happy to take your pet out whenever they feel like it — I love a long neighbourhood walk as much as they do. I take one pet at a time so your animal always has my full attention, and I'll send you daily photos and updates every step of the way. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply curl up somewhere quiet, I'll follow their lead and make sure they feel completely at home. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I have over 20 years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs of multiple breeds. Feel free to reach out to let me know how I can best serve your pet!

Reviews
Finn is a very gentle, kind, considerate person who has a real love for animals. His family owns a daschund that he always takes on walks, feeds and gives love and attention to any time I have been with him to visit his family. I know if he lived closer to his family, he would love to be a more consistent help with his family dog. I also know he grew up with a Bernese Mountain dog and a Main Coone cat that he absolutely adored. Finn is a very reliable, generous person and you can rest assured that your pet will be in very safe and loving hands with him!
Finn has grown up with pets and caring for pets for his entire life. From the time he was very little, he lived in a house filled with multiple cats and dogs (and even a snake at one point) and has always treated all of our family pets lovingly. As a young boy, we got him a cat to be "his" cat... that cat was Izzy, a gorgeous grey Maine Coon cat and she adored him. They were inseparable from the moment we brought her home. We also had a gentle giant of a dog, a beautiful Bernese Mountain dog, and later on we rescued a small dachshund, who is still with us today. Throughout all this time, Finn has always shared in the chores associated with loving and caring for pets, feeding them, cleaning up after them, walking the dogs, and generally treating them as valued family members. I do not hesitate to recommend him to you as a pet sitter, we have used him many time ourselves and would use him more often if we still lived nearby.
