I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I can do regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and play breaks throughout the day based on your pet’s routine. Evenings and weekends are ideal for longer walks, outdoor time, and extra attention so your pet stays calm, exercised, and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is calm, clean, no other pets, no kids. First 30 minutes I let them decompress, sniff around, no pressure. Dogs sleep wherever they're comfortable, couch, bed, or by the fireplace. I follow your routine and your rules, feeding schedule, walking schedule, whatever works for your dog. I'll reach out right away if anything seems off, and I send photos throughout!

Please tell me about any behavioural or medical needs before we get started. The more I know about their routine and preferences, the more comfortable and happy your pet will be with me.

A typical day

Morning drop off starts with a slow intro, sniff around the apartment. Once they're settled, a short walk to get their bearings. Lunch time we hit the seawall, longer for high energy dogs, slower and sniff heavy for seniors or anxious ones. Throughout the day there's plenty of cuddles, indoor play, attention, and I keep water fresh and topped up consistently.

Pet care experience

My love for pets started with my family’s poodle. Since then, I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs, from playful puppies to seniors who need extra patience and gentle routines. I’m comfortable with rescue dogs, high energy breeds, and following each pet’s specific care instructions. I take one client at a time because that's the kind of care I'd want for my own dog. I can also handle oral and injected medications, and I'm experienced with senior and special needs dogs.

Zaid was so easy to communicate with during the boarding booking process. Immediately when my frenchie Fitzy and I met him we felt at ease. Fitzy is a nervous Frenchie and Zaid was very calming and sweet with him. He sent lots of pictures a s updates during his stay. Will definitely use him again! Thanks Zaid!

Remi had so much fun with Zaid! I really appreciated getting updates on how she was doing and what she was up to throughout her stay. Zaid is very communicative and fantastic, I know that whenever I drop Remi off, I can trust that she’ll have a wonderful time. Will always recommend!

Zaid kept me updated throughout Remi’s stay, shared photos of her day, asked questions to make sure Remi would be comfortable and was quick to respond to messages! Would absolutely recommend. Thanks so much Zaid, we’ll see you soon for sure!

Zaid was an amazing. He kept us updated the entire time and shared lots of photos during Mia’s stay, which made me feel so much better knowing she was going on walks and spending time outdoors. He always sent updates without me even having to ask how Mia was doing, which I really appreciated. I really hope he’s available for us again in the future because he has definitely become our favorite sitter. Highly recommend!
