Pet care experience

Remote job + flexible schedule

Hi! I’m a remote fashion design fabric consultant at Aritzia, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day and makes me very available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits. I’m also happy to bring my laptop if I’m staying with your pet during work hours. I live with my partner, so boarding requests would need to be confirmed by both of us, but I’m open to discussing what works best. I naturally spend a lot of time walking around the city, visiting cafes, and being outdoors, so I easily fit pet care into my routine and love having a dog join me. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including raising an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd mix (Collie/Lab) from 8 weeks old. He’s high-energy and strong, so I’m comfortable with larger, active dogs. What you can expect: calm, reliable care that follows your pet’s routine closely. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well exercised, with clear communication and updates while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and care to keep things consistent and stress-free. For care in my home (when arranged), I provide a safe, calm environment with regular walks, playtime, and supervision. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day.

Michelle is a very responsible and loving dog owner and caregiver. She always makes sure her dog gets good care and lots of love. She always takes him to the dog park, walks and always plays tug a war and fetch with every free time she has. Every year, she made a birthday cake for her dog to show how much she love him. I assure you, Michelle will take a good care of your dog too if you hire her.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I already spend a lot of time walking around the city, so incorporating a dog is something I will genuinely enjoy.

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and temperament. I also like to know any specific needs, such as feeding schedules or medications. I also ask about behaviour and training. For example: Do they bark often? Do they pull on the leash? Are they allowed to approach other dogs? Have they ever shown biting or reactive behaviour? This helps me provide safe, consistent, and comfortable care for your pet.
