I'll care for your pets like my own

Pet care experience

If you are looking for a responsible, trust worthy, and compassionate person to look after your beloved pets, look no further. I'm a graduated Veterinary Medical Assistant. I specialize in looking after and walking dogs, but I will also pet sit other small animals as well. I've had two different dogs growing up. So I know how much you want the best care possible for your fur baby. I will provide the best care possible to your pet. Unfortunately as I live in an Apartment/ Condominium I'm only able to take in pets that are 17 inches tall or less when I'm looking after them at my place. EXPERIENCE: I have just graduated from the Veterinary Medical Assistant program at Lakeland College. These are just some of the courses that I took during college: Animals diseases & treatments, Business communication, Introduction to Radiology and surgery, as well as Animal Nutrition etc. I also have a certificate in pet sitting from an online course that I took in college. I've looked after and been around animals from a young age. PET SITTING: I can look after your pet at your house and you will still get the best care possible. Some of the activities that I can do with your dog include: take your dog for walks, play catch in the backyard, brush them, play with them, interact with them, challenge them by hiding treats and having them try to find it with their nose etc. For cats I can play with them, challenge them as well as let them roam around the house etc. I will follow all of your instructions as instructed when looking after your pet at your house. I'm also more than willing to take photos or videos of your pets and send them to you while you're on vacation or at work. So that you know your pets are being well taken care of. I would also be willing to give you updates via text or phone calls. DOG WALKING: I am also able to take your dogs out for walks during the day while you're at work or for some reason you're unable to. I can take them out as much and as long as you want. From 30 minutes up to an hour or more, however long you want. And I am also willing to walk your dog twice a day, if you're wanting me to walk your dog more often. HOUSE AND PET SITTING: I am also willing to not only look after your pet while you're on vacation ,but I can also look after your house at the same time. I could either stay over at your house while you're gone and look after your beloved pet, or I could also visit your house daily for a couple of hours to look after your beloved pet and to look after your house. Some of the jobs that I'm willing to do for you when you go on vacation if you'd like me to look after your house are: water your flowers, cut your grass, shovel snow, take flyers and / or papers in to make it look like you're still home, do dishes and/ or put dishes in the dishwasher and put them away, etc. I would also still look after your pet and give it the best care possible. I could also give you some of my references, if wanted. IMPORTANT NOTES: ** All pets must be up to date on their vaccinations** - I do require a Meet-n-Greet before accepting a first-time booking. (Repeat clients do not need to do a meet-n-greet) - I will only do same day bookings with repeat clients.

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your instructions exactly as said or written. And if I'm unsure of anything or have any questions. I will definitely make sure to ask you. I will make sure to keep my eyes on them so that they're safe and don't escape. I will make sure that I only feed them what you approve for them to eat, I will not let them eat anything that we haven't agreed on, so I will only feed them with what you tell me I can feed them. I won't sneak any snacks to them that aren't approved by you. As I know that you dearly love your pets, and I'll make sure that they stay healthy and safe while you're gone. I can also send photos and videos while you're away of your beloved pets. And if anything does go wrong, I will immediately contact you, or contact you as soon as I can. In case of an emergency I will take your pet to the closest emergency vet if it's after hours. And call you from there. My #1 priority when I look after pets is your pets health and safety.

Information Kevin S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog/ pets have any behavioural issues, medical issues, allergies etc. Anything that will be useful for me to know while looking after your pet. If they're on medications etc.

A typical day

I love to spend time with your dogs, playing fetch with them, tug of war, running with them, walking them and chasing them in the backyard. And just hanging out with your pets. I'll be sure to give them exercise and mentally stimulate them and spend time with them. I don't really have any special places that I go for walks. I can either just take them close to where they live or continue walking them if you have a route that you'd like me to take them on.
