Offering Local Care for Local Pets

Pet care experience

Hello! (COVID-19 Protocols in-place) You can find me on Instagram to see what i’m up too (@localpetsits) I'm Jen, 28 year old with a background in the arts, photography and dogwalking/petsitting; I grew up with a variety of animals. Though ferrets, dogs and cats will always have a very special place in my heart I love them all! I've worked with animals dogwalking/petsitting full time for 7 years now; the first 3 years were for 2 bigger companies in Toronto. I've learned the ropes having experienced first hand the various different roles in this industry; more recently a year or so now doing petsitting on my own. I'm well versed in having to figure things out on the spot and staying calm while resolving a problem when it arises. My approach to petsitting is making sure the pets I care for have a sense of familairity and are comfortable with me (meet and greets before services commence are a must). For this reason I like coming to the client rather then uprooting them to a place they are not comfortable with. Cats specifcally do far better in their own home where all the smells are familar, once a day daily visits to your home are the best option. I love taking dogs out of their element and challenging them to experience all the sights and smells Toronto has to offer. I have an irish wolfhound named Floki; she is fluent with ttc rides and loves going on adventures to different parks and trails throughout the city. A good dog walk I think should be stimualting for the body and mind, the best way for this to happen is through socialization via human, environment and dog variety.

Jen is amazing! My dog loves seeing her show up at the office to break him out for a walk and always comes back worn out and super happy. You can tell Jen loves dogs and what she does, she treats my guy like he was her own. She's always on time, professional, and does her best to accommodate even last minute requests which is always appreciated. She is also very knowledgeable abut dogs and works with him on his fear of traffic and pulling, I can see an improvement after each walk. I don't think my dog would have gotten this level of care from anyone else, its more than just a walk with Jen.

Jennifer is excellent—she knows how to interact with dogs so she respects and honours them.

I have been a client for a few years and have nothing but good things to say!. Jennifer has so much diversity with so many different animals and breeds which shows in her work. My dog seems to love her more then he loves me! Her years of experience show in her daily updates, pictures due to them always bein sent in a timely fashion keeping you with peace of mind as your fur baby is at home. I would trust her with all of my animals and look forward to continue being a life long client with Jennifer.

I have known Jen for quite a long time, since University. As far back as I can remember, she has always appeared to be this exotically beautiful woman in the company of her fur babies. She reminds me of a goddess like being, executing Mother nature's orders to protect and nurture all species. Jen's loyalty, consideration, sense of responsibility, and warmth as a human have translated in her successful and long-lasting relationships, both on a personal level and in her professionalism. I could not imagine her working anywhere but in such a field, where love and care are the ultimate deliveries.
