Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stalwart

“Shelly was so attentive to our little girl. She sent photos of Macey relaxing and provided updates letting us know our girl settled in okay. We really appreciated her messages.”

“Trisha is so wonderful to work with! She is very flexible with drop off and pick up, and sent me lots of photo updates of my boy living his best life in her home, along with her dog and cat who are his new BFFs lol. Definitely gave me peace of mind that my high anxiety rescue pup was being so well cared for while I had to be away. Her set up is great too, as she has options to keep dogs separated if need be. We’ll be back for sure!”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have adopted many rescues. Advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves is important to me! I continue to participate in fundraisers for the Humane Society, the Annex Cat Rescue and the Canada Cuba Pet Rescue. I have extensive experience in dog walking, drop-in visits, doggie daycare and boarding services. I have also waked dogs for the Humane Society. I was fortunate to have a pet sitter/ dog walker that I could trust and I am excited to be able to provide that for others now that I have time! I will care for your pet as I would my own and I fully understand how difficult it is to leave your loved one in someone else's care. I don't take this trust lightly! I will work very hard to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I am also committed to communicating frequently throughout your pet's stay with me so that you can have peace of mind while away. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Now that I am retired I have plenty of time to spend with your loved one! My home is clean, safe, smoke free, and pet free. I am able to provide one-on-one attention. I have a good neighbourhood for walking and a fenced-in backyard.

“Scharol was an amazing dog sitter. She was constantly in contact with me and she shared many pictures of Titus. I am truly grateful for her because she treated Titus, like her own fur child. For anyone else looking to find someone to look after their cherished fur baby, please consider Scharol. I am honored to share my story.”

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.
