Pet care experience

Black Sheep Pet Care

The first pet I ever adopted was a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, I named Maria. I was gifted a gem of a being that conquered my fears and misconceptions of animals and cultivated a passion for cats and dogs until this day. I have been pet sitting and fostering cats and dogs for 12 years with great enthusiasm. It is my goal to provide a pet care and boarding centre for my community in the future, but before then, help me start my foundations. It would be a pleasure to pet sit for you. 🙂

Michael was THE BEST dog/house sitter I've ever had! He care for Ralphie so well, and the condo was even cleaner when I returned than when I left. His communication is amazing, photos and videos daily, and super easy to chat with. 200% recommend him and will use him again! THANK YOU MICHAEL - Ralphie has been looking for you since I got back lol

Michael really helped us out last minute, and took great care of our two dogs in our home for the day, including our blind senior dog that needs medications and eyedrops multiple time daily. Would absolutely book with Michael again!

Michael was an amazing dog sitter for our three pups. He took great care of them and they looked so happy. He was also great at communicating and a pleasure to work with.

I have the privilege of working from home which initiated my fostering and pet sitting endeavours. I care for one little poodle pup whom I’m training to be a well behaved and sweet doggy. She loves other dogs and is very social. I would have the access to provide 24/7 care for your pet. They’d have no need to be alone for long periods of time and I would be able to take them out to relieve themselves at the appropriate times.

I think understanding your pets likes, dislikes, their fears and favourite activities are very important for their experience at me to go well. I would need to know if their are food restrictions and dietary requirements. I would need to know if they have medication I must provide them. I want to know your pet as best as possible, so having a list about them is great to help us have a good connection.
