Pet care experience

I’ll care for your pet as my own!

I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I grew up in a big animal lover home so in the last I’ve fostered, love volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable with pets with medical needs or providing a separate space for anxious pets! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company but if your pet needs the space, my boys are happy to stay upstairs in the large ensuite! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks, play time and tons of pictures of your little one!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my cat, Lucy, while I was on vacation! Gurbata was absolutely wonderful and took such amazing care of her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Lucy was in such caring and reliable hands while I was away. Gurbata was attentive, kind, dependable, and clearly treated Lucy as if she were her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty made all the difference!

This was the first time I’ve used this site and Michelle made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby was well taken care of. The pictures and the summary of their activities was a great touch as well! I will be booking her in the near future. Thank you so much!!

Michelle was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and detailed updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My cat can be a little shy sometimes, but she absolutely loved Michelle! I highly recommend her and would happily book with her again

Safety, trust & environment

I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! If your pet likes their space, my pets don’t mind staying upstairs on the 3rd floor ensuite which is the same size as downstairs! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood!

Pets

A typical day

I like to start my mornings with a good walk to stretch the legs and relieve the pups! After we come in, clean paws and have our breakfast. I like to fit in 3-4 walks a day and there will be plenty of cuddles in between! Once I day I do general command training (with treats) with my dog so I will do it with the group which helps stimulate their minds and reinforce good behavior! And for the kitties, we have plenty of toys for enrichment and several cat trees around the house! After dinner, we go for one more walk or have some playtime before we cuddle in front of the tv till bedtime!

I always ask for feeding routines, dietary needs, and if the dogs are crate trained or potty trained. We can work around just about anything but need to know ahead of time to make sure we are prepared!
