Safety, trust & environment

Most bookings happen in your home so pets stay relaxed in their routine. I’m calm, tidy, respectful of your space, and happy to do a meet-and-greet first.

Information Maurice K. would like to know about your pet

Requested information about your pet: • Special needs or medical conditions • Daily routine (meals, walk times, sleep habits) • Quirks or triggers • House rules (furniture, crate, off-limits areas) • Commands they know, treats they like, and where supplies are kept

A typical day

Morning walk or potty break, then breakfast and a bit of play or training if they enjoy that. Midday check-in for water, cuddles, or a short walk, whatever keeps them happy and balanced. Evening walk and dinner, followed by a relaxed hangout or quiet time together. I match their mood, whether it’s zoomies, sniffing everything in sight, or just curling up for a nap. :)

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Maurice. I grew up in the Netherlands and growing up my family fostered rescue dogs from Spain, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, anxious, high-energy, or reactive. I stay calm, read body language, and give dogs time to feel safe around me. I live in North York and keep routines steady: on-leash walks, fresh water, meds or meals as directed, doors locked, and harness/collar checks before every walk. No off-leash or dog parks unless you ask me to, and we can always try a short walk together first, to see if the dog is responsive to me. You’ll get clear updates each visit. I’m comfortable with large breeds, senior dogs, and pets with quirks or reactivity. I follow your training cues and your household rules.

Maurice took great care of Superdog and the house while we were away. He communicated well and made sure he understood her instructions clearly. She was being treated by our vet for a few age -related conditions at the time, and Maurice reassured us that he had everything under control. I would hire him again!

In one word the experience was amazing. Maurice knows what he is doing, genuinely cares about your pets, goes above and beyond and keeps you updated. One of my pet Chini had his birthday during the house sitting and i just informed him casually, and he went way above and beyond hot him a you and a birthday biscuit as well. At the same time we were made aware of how things were going and my 2 dogs genuinely love him. He even accepted last minute changes to our travel which got impacted due to visa issues and we could travel without any tension, all thanks to him. By far he is the best among many pet sitters that i have contacted and availed the Servuce of and to be honest he deserves a 5 star. Looking forward to availing your help again.
