Peace for Mind and Pet Home Sitting

Pet care experience

"Peace for Mind & Pet Home sitting" began in 2011 when some of his friends needed a reliable and trustworthy person to look over their home and pets while away. Since then, he has gained several referred repeat clients, some of which regard him as a family member — not an expected nor imposed rapport. Peter has a talent for animals, providing great presence, attentiveness and joy towards them, which in turn often draws the pets’ attention and affection. Dog whisper-like. Also he is a gracious communicator —sensible, while generous and dependable in his spirit of service. Peter is also very creatively thoughtful and a hard-worker, who can assist with your gardening, improving the condition of your bbq and organizing things -- all upon permission first. His motto is, "when these people are away on vacation, they can have peace of mind that their home is safe, pets are cared for and all will be and look the same -- if not better upon returning home. Try his leftover meals in your frig — he’s a chef too! As a creative jack of all trades, he can also make you a mixed-media portrait of your pet — extra charges.

The house was cleaner than when I left and my dog was delightfully tired when we got home. Thank you, Peter for taking such good care of everything while we were gone.

From the moment we met Peter, we immediately felt at ease. He has a calm, confident energy and quickly tuned in to our boys’ personalities and temperament. Peter asked thoughtful questions and paid attention to the details to make sure he could provide the best care possible. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
