Pets are our life.. literally!

Pet care experience

About us: I have been working in the Veterinary field as an assistant for the past 16 years. Denise is a Licensed Veterinary nurse for over 20 years and currently works in an animal hospital as a nurse and a manager. We also have a 3 yr old son who LOVES animals as well... (there are some occasions where he may need to stay or come over, so please only kid friendly pets) We have tons of experience working with both healthy and sick dogs and cats. We have been pet sitting for the past 9 years and love every minute of it! Together we can give your pet attention almost 24 hours a day while you are away! What we do: We offer in home visits and/or overnight care for your furry child in the comfort of your own home. No stress or worries about being in a cage or being neglected because there are too many other pets to watch. Your pet is our number one priority. Your dogs or cats can continue with no disruption to their normal routine and we are here to make sure they are happy and well taken care of while you are away. Our services include but not limited to; Feeding, Walking, Giving medications (oral and injections), cuddling and plenty of play time and love. Why I love pet sitting Working in an animal hospital has allowed me to see how pets react in a strange place without their owners. Some pets do not adjust very well. I would spend as much time as I could with them and seeing them calm and relaxed made me happy. I then decided that I wanted to offer a service that could allow these pets to be in the comfort of their own home yet still get the love and attention they normally receive and so began my pet sitting.

My dogs were very happy in Michael's care, this was the second time he was taking care of my pups, and again I came home to a clean home and happy dogs. I would not hesitate to book him again!

Denise and Michael are wonderful! My cat Sophie, is going to be 19 in August and doesn't like anyone but me. In the past I had cat sitters during the day for her, however she started acting out everytime I traveled..like pooping in my suitcase. I hired Micheal and Denise to stay overnight and within a couple of days and my housekeeper told me Sophie was even following Michael around the house looking for some pets! She has NEVER warmed up to people so fast. My apartment was in perfect shape when I returned form my trip I highly recommend them!

Michael took such great care of Tiger! It was clear from the first meet and greet that Tiger felt completely comfortable with Michael. Subsequent photos showed Tiger cuddling up with him---his favourite thing to do.

Michael took good care of our large Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy along with our cat while we were away. We received multiple photos over the weekend and the dog and cat and apt all looked just as it did we left it. It was also nice meeting both Michael and Denise prior to our first sitting experience.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

We would like to meet with you and your pooch or kitty before our stay. We want to make sure he/she gets the best care and want to see how/what their daily routines are.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog When I am not at work I am with your dog. That can range from overnight care of usually 12-14 hours when home from work up to a full 24 hours on my days off. The time your dog spends alone is significantly decreased if both Denise and I are working together as we have opposite hours and can spend tons of time with your pet. Time I'll spend with you cat. I am available to stay with you cats overnight if needed and will have the same care as dogs (see above). If you chose we can either do one visit or 2 visit per day. Each visit includes feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, brushing or whatever your kittie prefers, These visits usually last about 30 mintues
