Hello! It’s nice to “meet” you! My name is Amanda (husband is Zak) and I am a trustworthy, energetic and committed pet sitter who would love to take care of your furry loved ones :) I am a lover of both cats and dogs (+ all furry friends for that matter!). I grew up with dogs in my life from a young age and also have had 10 cats in my lifetime! In fact, I was born into a house with 5 cats, and my first word was ... you guessed it - “CAT!”. All in all I have close to 25 years of experience with animals. During university I took care of (and fostered!) Wheaton Terriers, Schnoodles, Shihtzus and of course have always also had rescue cats of my own. I understand that all pets have very different personalities and needs. Therefore I never apply a one size fits all approach to caring for your pet. Whether it means slowly allowing your cat to feel comfortable over time by offering a peice of my clothing to sniff from a distance or immediately becoming best friends with your high energy dog, I have lots of experience reading your pets needs/wants and adjusting to them. I recently moved to a new townhome at Kipling & Bloor and am now accepting doggy day care requests! To note: I do have a cat, so I will only be accepting dogs that are comfortable with cats or are ok with being separated from the cat (I.e the dog on the main floor of the house, with the cat on the second floor). I have a fenced in backyard that is small but does the trick for letting dogs out to play as they wish or to get fresh air and have a potty break! Is it your first time using Rover? Shoot me a message to learn how you can get $20 off your booking with us OR/ use our personal discount code at checkout: ZAKARR27840 Services: Between the two of us we have tons of flexibility for dog walks, visiting/feeding cats or dogs at your home, or having dogs stay with us (day & overnight!). Zak works from home full time & Amanda is home most days other than out popping here and there for her part time job or other pet related activities! The only service we don’t offer is needle injections for your pet. If they need insulin needles regularly or any other kind of injection we wouldn’t be a good fit for your furry loved one. So sorry about that! Dog Boarding: The dog boarding fee that you see on Rover covers your dogs stay for a 24 hour period. If you need to extend the hours or slightly reduce the hours we are usually very flexible. During dog boarding stays your dog is free to go out in the fenced in backyard at anytime before 10pm and will always be let out/or taken for a walk for a potty break before we go to sleep. If your dog requires frequent potty breaks through the overnight hours we are able to accommodate for an extra charge. We are generally booked with at least one dog at any given time. This means it is rare that we can offer solo bookings. Of course, if you are the first to book a time slot and prefer your dog stay solo we will always do our best to accommodate. For solo stays there is an extra charge of $20/24 hours. Dog boarding stays include lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, pets, and love! Home Visits: The home visits base price covers a 1/2 hour visit. We have tons of experience taking care of cats! All visits include litter cleaning, feeding, oral medication if needed and as much playtime or cuddle time as your cat or dog would like. We understand that some cats are shy and may want to maintain their distance. We will respect whatever space your cat needs to be most comfortable. Generally Amanda will be in charge of home visits. We will always provide a very detailed update on your cats or dogs well-being as well as multiple photos! Don’t see a service that matches your needs or budget? Rover offers us the ability to create a custom quote! Just reach out over the message interface to discuss your pets needs and we will come up with a custom quote to suit you. Meet & Greets: We know from experience that you consider your pet as family so we assure you they will be in the very best of care! In order to ensure everyone feels happy and comfortable we like to schedule meet and greets to discuss how we can meet all of you and your pet’s needs. Since we care so much about your pets well being and happiness we do not take overnight boarding bookings longer than one night until we have hd a chance to get to know your dog. Some dogs (especially those growing up during the pandemic) have anxiety being left alone in a new environment and we would never want you to go away on an extended trip until we are such your dog feels worry-free in our home. For that reason, if you want to book boarding stays over 1 night we schedule a meet and greet and trial overnight to see if we are a good fit for your dogs needs. We do charge for trial nights however if your dog is a good fit and you book a longer stay with us in the future we will give you a free night to compensate you on your next booking. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to chatting about how we can care for your pet! Service area: We mainly service the East Etobicoke area as well as Six Points, Old Mill, The Kingsway, Royal York, and Islington Village areas. For home visits we can extend our services to West Etobicoke, High park, and The Junction for an extra charge to cover gas and travel time. If you do not live in one of these above areas but still would like to access our services please send us a message so that we can discuss a custom quote.
