Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Care Provider
I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels through my work as an Animal Care Attendant at Chichi’s Pet Resort and as an independent dog walker. I also earned my Animal Care Certificate from Sheridan College, where I developed a strong foundation in animal health, welfare, handling, and husbandry. In addition, I’m currently completing a Dog Trainer Certificate at Canine Academy in Guelph, further strengthening my knowledge of canine body language, positive reinforcement, and behavior. My experience includes supervising group play, administering meals and medications, monitoring behavior, providing basic grooming, and maintaining a safe, clean environment while meeting each dog’s individual needs. My training allows me to confidently work with nervous, energetic, and reactive dogs, using patience, guidance, and positive reinforcement to help them feel safe and succeed. Pet safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I communicate clearly with owners, carefully follow all care instructions, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care instructions. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel comfortable while you’re away. I use positive reinforcement, closely monitor each pet’s behavior, and maintain a clean, safe environment throughout every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they receive individualized care, patience, and plenty of attention. I also believe communication is key. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
