About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have walked neighbors’ and friends’ dogs for the past 7 years. I have also pet sit dogs of all sizes for the past few years. I am 18 and just graduated high school. I am free both weekdays and weekends this summer. Feel free to reach out for morning, afternoon, and evening dog walks! I am happy to follow your dog’s routine and follow any house rules you may have for your pet. I will make sure they are safe and comfortable in the home while you are away.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits • Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment. • Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress. • Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation. • Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles. • Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind. I work weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening visits—perfect for feeding, companionship, or check-ins before and after work. Weekends are more flexible, allowing for extended care, walks, or overnight stays as needed. I respect and follow each pet’s existing routine to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. • I ensure pets are fed on schedule, walked or played with, and given attention and affection—just like they would receive from their own family. • I maintain a tidy space, clean up after pets, and keep the environment safe and secure. • I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will immediately communicate with owners if something seems off.
“Yuzki was extremely helpful with last minute booking plans and also very responsible around the details of our dogs care when we were in town for the weekend. Hoping she can help us again in the future!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, small rodents, and farm animals all my life, all of which I’ve taken care of in different ways with the most love I can. I am always ready to for changes and for caring for each individual animal the way that works best for them. I have helped with animals of all ages and abilities and always give the most love and support I can to each one. I am a college student and have plenty of time in my day and week to take care of your furry friend. I am available in the early mornings and the afternoon to evening everyday. I can easily follow instructions based on the clients needs and the pets needs. I can feed, crate, take to the bathroom, walk, or bathe depending on what is wanted and only do what is wanted by my client.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of dogs for family and friends since I was younger. I have experience with many dog breeds and special experience with larger dogs. I am patient and kind and your dog will have a great time with me! I work from home half the week so I will have plenty of availability to hang out with your pup. I live near lots of parks and can bring your dog for walks. I don’t have any pets or children, so your dog will get my full attention! I am also in a pet friendly apartment building, so your dog will feel right at home.
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: I've been lucky enough to have Pancake for 9 years of my life. Pancake gets treated like a queen and I promise you your dog is in loving hands when they are with me. Honestly, I just want to walk around more so why not do it with a friend that is equally excited to be out of the house. I'm flexibly free but would prefer the weekends or afternoons. I do have a full time job but my hours are flexible and change week by week. I'm super responsible and have years of experience as a nanny, I've pet sat before - being trusted with 6 young children, having a little dog of my own that is the world to me, it's safe to say your pets are in good hands.
“Kim is an amazing sitter. My 2 cats love her and were happy to see her daily. She also helped keep an eye on some leaks I had from the rain and kept me informed on that. I really appreciated that! I will definitely book Kim in the future!”
“Abigail is so lovely! Her heart is so big, and she shows it through puppy love! My Freya love Abigail, and we can’t wait to have her back. She followed all the instructions and reached out with any questions! I felt super comfortable having her in my home, and had no concerns at all! Freya and I are thrilled to have Abigail!”
About: With over 7 years of on-and-off experience in dog walking, pet care, and pet sitting, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals, including various breeds of dogs and cats. Each animal has brought a unique joy and purpose to my life, from a playful puppy French Bulldog to a large, loving Great Pyrenees, and an energetic Sheepdog. I've worked with many more, each one leaving a lasting impression and deepening my love for animals. My passion for animals extends beyond my work with clients’ pets. At home, I have four cats and have grown up with cats throughout my life. I’ve come to appreciate the intelligence, unique quirks, and delightful personalities of cats, and there’s nothing quite as rewarding as winning them over with care and patience. For me, pet care is not just a job – it’s a way of life. I truly enjoy the bond that forms with each pet I care for and take pride in providing them with the love, attention, and fun they deserve. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family and offers them the best care, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry companions and give them everything they need and more. As I’m currently taking graphic design classes at Canada College, my schedule is flexible, with classes taking place in the evening. This gives me ample free time during the day, allowing me to offer my services to new clients who may need assistance with feeding, walking, or socializing their pets while they’re at work. I’m happy to help out during the day with regular check-ins, walks, and playtime to ensure your pets receive the attention they deserve. Additionally, I’ll have availability on weekends for walks and check-ins, so I can accommodate your pet care needs during those times as well. I’m excited to offer my support and give your pets the care and companionship they need, while fitting into your busy schedule. When it comes to caring for your pets, trust and safety are my top priorities. With many years of experience in pet care, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility for ensuring the well-being of both pets and their environments. Whether it's safely transporting your pet in the car (always properly buckled in) or making sure your dog is securely settled back inside the house, I take every precaution to ensure their safety and comfort. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs, and I am committed to providing a secure, loving environment for them at all times. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in trustworthy hands, receiving the highest level of care and attention.
“Michaela was great with our dog Grizzly, who can be a handful at times. She was very patient with him, even when he was nervous because we were away. Very responsive and communication was easy!”

19. Danielle M.
“What sets Danielle apart from other caretakers is that she TRULY loves animals more than anything on this planet! Any task you assign (walking, fetch, etc.) Danielle will not do the bare minimum and play for the 15 minutes you had on your checklist, check it off the list and move on, her empathy for animals will have her playing with the pets until they are truly satisfied. The pets can sense she is friendly and were much calmer the the moment she walked through the door (vs. other visitors) because of her kind demeanor, I think this says a lot. She is also very organized so not only will you return to a spotless home, she will follow the directions perfectly and is very punctual per my ring camera. Danielle has taken care of both my cat Bat and when I was out of town my elderly dog Laddie. She watched my cat (Bat, 9 month Old) - When Danielle showed up to my house, she brought a heating pad for the him, and a few other toys ( which he loved) and taught me a lot about cats as I was a new owner. I could see on Bat's face when she left that he was going to miss her, he can take a while to warm up to people and within an hour Danielle was sending me pictures of him stretched out on her lap. She was my first choice to watch my parents dog (Laddie -11 Years Old) when we went on a family vacation. Laddie is a very difficult dog when it comes to feeding schedules as he has about 7 different supplements/medications (rangning from pills to topical) across 4 different feeding schedules, knowing how organized Danielle is it put me at ease on my vacation knowing she was in charge. On top of that she is just a great person, she's a homebody so I never had to worry about her asking to bring someone over or anything out of the ordinary. She took out the trash, got the mail and was willing to do anything to not just pet sit but house sit. You will not be disappointed!”
