Pet care experience
Your Fur Babies New Best Friend!
Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jeremy was so wonderful to my boy. It was such a relief to be able to go away. I received lots of updates and pictures.
Jeremy was absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Tucker! From the moment we booked, communication was easy and reliable. Jeremy kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker can be a little stubborn and has his own quirky personality, but Jeremy was patient, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who had clearly been well loved and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jeremy again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
Friendly, punctual and my puppy loves Jeremy. Great job.
Jeremy has dogsat on a few occasions and our 2 frenchies adore him. He is reliable and so good with our 2 playful (yet stubborn) dogs.
Jeremy was an exceptional pet caregiver for our cats during our recent trip. He went above and beyond, not only ensuring our cats were well-fed and loved but also keeping our plants watered and our home spotless. We returned to a tidy house and the delightful surprise of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Jeremy’s responsible, caring nature and thoughtful touches made our experience stress-free. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
Jeremy was a fantastic house and cat sitter for us while we were on a two-week vacation. He took excellent care of our senior cat, who doesn't handle change well, and gave us peace of mind with regular updates and photos. We came home to a clean house and a happy cat. We were able to fully relax on our trip knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
Pets
A typical day
I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. A typical day might include a good walk, some playtime, and lots of cuddles, whatever your pet enjoys most! My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and never bored while you're away!
