House Sitting in Scarborough

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, ducks, horses, and chickens. My love of animals runs deep starting with my first dog, Duke the English Shepherd. I’ve always been a care taker and I’d love to provide kind and reliable care for your pets. I’m currently working part time, so I am wide open seven days a week! Very flexible with any time of the day that is needed for your pet. I treat other’s homes and spaces with respect and treat all pets like they’re my own. When caring for a pet, I provide exercise, enrichment, and very good ear scratches.

“Katrina was outstanding with our house/ pet sitting. We received several pictures every day, kept in constant contact, she is very responsible, caring and attentive. We love her and will definitely be using using her again.”

“Such an amazing person. I can’t recommend her enough. She cleaned watched our 3 pups last minute. Not only that, but she cleaned our home as well. We will be going to Amy from now from now on. Thank you so much ???”

“Caitlin was a wonderful dog/house sitter! She sent photos and texts informing me of how Walter was doing. Walter is a senior dog and Caitlin did a great job with his meds and keeping him in his happy place!!”

“First she genuinely is a beautiful person inside and out, literally. She’s also a very gentle person so you don’t have to worry about pets, they are in great handles. Not to brag about my friend, but she’s currently in the process of applying to med school. As you can imagine she’s very smart, organized and extremely caring. She took care of my dogs and cats multiple times and always sent cute pictures of them. She loves animals and the animals can definitely feel it. The animals also always miss her when she’s gone. Nishat’s a gem.”

About: I have loved and cared for my family’s three cats and four dogs. I have also house and pet-sat for family, friends, and clients for six years. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, giving medicine to, playing with, cleaning up after, and caring for various animals as well as taking care of plants. I am a Sophomore in university, so on weekdays I will usually only have about 2-5 hours of classes a day and then my weekends are completely free. This leaves me room to take on clients. I will ensure the safety of the pets and myself by using knowledge I have gained on how to meet and approach animals for the first time and build trust. Beyond that, I will care for any pets as if they were my own. If I have any questions or concerns about the pet’s care I will reach out to the client if the next course of action is not clear.

“Nancy was very attentive to our cats needs and sent us frequent updates. She took good care of our home as well. We will be booking with her again.”

“Mackenzie was fantastic!! She was responsive, kind, and cared for my senior dog so well! It was my first time using anyone from this app, and I’m so thankful for linking up with her. She gave my dog his medicine and managed his old age quirks so well. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past year we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.

“PJ was able to watch my pup for me who was dealing with a bit of a medical condition and could not be left alone. He was very flexible to my schedule and really helped us both out! Thanks so much for doing what you do!”

“Carla is wonderful. She is patient with my Pittie who is scared of life, and left the house spotless after a two night stay. I would not hesitate to have Carla watch Blue again, and is in fact already booked for more dates! ?”

“Colleen was great. Very responsive!”

“Karen frequently watches my dog (her grand-dog), Maisie. Karen has a calm, gentle energy that makes Maisie feel safe and at ease. She is friendly, considerate, and easy to communicate with. She takes Maisie on long walks, makes sure her meals are just right, and gives lots of pets and cuddles. Karen is one of the few people I trust to take care of my dog. I highly recommend her services!”

“Jackie was a delight to have as our dog sitter. She bonded instantly with Suzie and was courteous, friendly, and ver professional. She kept us informed throughout the day with photos and updates. We would definitely use her services again! Thanks Jackie!”

“Emma took excellent care of our pup Holly! We were in need of someone at the last minute and Emma was very responsive to our request. She was always reachable when we were away and got back to us promptly when we had to get in touch. It was such a relief knowing Holly was in good hands! I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone!”

“Erin was amazing while I was at work and my dog needed to watched. She spent all day with him and brought him to the dog park and walks as needed.”

About: I was raised with dogs my whole life and I have had the pleasure of caring for numerous dogs over the years. I love each dog individually and do my best to provide a positive wholesome experience. My schedule is very flexible, i try to accomadate each individual the best that i can. I'd like to make a career out of helping people care for their loved ones, so, I do this full time. I like to model/imitate the style of care that is normal to each pet. I try to be as least disruptful to the dogs routine and treat then how you normally would treat them. The more specific instructions you like the better for me.

“Kristin took wonderful care of our dog and two cats. She was attentive while we were away, and left our house tidy and neat. We would definitely recommend having her watch your animals, and will for sure have her watch our pets again in the future.”

“Terra is wonderful! Our animals were well cared for during our vacation, would absolutely recommend. Thank you so much, Terra!”

“Nellie was a wonderful dog sitter! She had great communication and sent lots of updates. I will definitely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
