Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lisbon

“Margaret and her children took such loving care of Windy, I can’t thank them enough! Margaret kept me updated on how Windy was doing which I very much appreciated especially since I had never her left her like this before. I would highly recommend Margaret as a very experienced and loving dog caregiver.”

About: Retired teacher and lifelong animal lover experienced with farm and indoor pets. Patient, responsible, and caring-dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment for you pets. Being retired, pet care is my routine - regular walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet moments ensure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy every day. Whether I am boarding or visiting your home, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring comfort, saftey, and LOTS of affection.

“I have nothing but good things to say about the experience I received. They kept me updated on our pet Rocko. An will definitely be using them in the future!”

“Fantastic experience! Great communication, video updates, and it was obvious Remy was well cared for. I had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

“Destiny took care of our puppy for us the first time we ever had to leave him. She provided a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of exercise and play time. She was super communicative and sent us daily messages and photos while were away! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been petsitting for family and friends for two decades now, and would love the opportunity to help you out as well! I love all pets big and small, with familiarity with dogs, cats, lizards, rodents, and birds! Bonus! I’m a teacher as my day job, so you can trust that I’ve been solidly background checked, fingerprinted, etc, ensuring a safe, trustworthy person around your pets on a predictable schedule. I am also fully insured through PSI, adding an extra layer of protection for you and your pets! I am a full-time teacher from September to June. This means that my summers are wide open, and you can count on a reliable consistent schedule for your pets during the school year. Since I have my own cats at home, I offer pet-sitting at your home on your schedule. This can range from stop ins for potty breaks to walks every few hours to overnight stays - you tell me and I’m there! We’ll discuss your expectations to make sure that your pets get exactly the care you expect during your time away, and I promise clear and open communication while you trust me to watch over your babies! (If you are looking for boarding, please be aware that I have cats at my home. Any pup coming in MUST be good around cats, for everyone's comfort!)

“Koda had the best time, we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home, lol.”

About: I have several years of professional and independent pet care experience, including dog daycare, pet retail, dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting, overnight care and extended stays. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility for pets who benefit from having someone around throughout the day, and I’m especially interested in building relationships with regular clients. I previously worked in dog daycare where I cared for groups of up to 75 dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, crating, administering medications, puppy care, senior care and working with special-needs dogs who require additional attention or accommodations. I’m also trained in canine first aid and comfortable caring for pets with more involved routines. Through my previous work at Village Pets Boutique, I gained extensive knowledge of pet nutrition, supplements and natural health products. Before that, I worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart, giving me an even broader background in animal care and handling. I’m equally comfortable with cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my work at PetSmart as well as independent drop-ins, house sitting and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable staying in a client’s home for extended periods and frequently provide this type of care while clients are travelling. Animals have also always been a huge part of my life outside of work. I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and currently have two black Labs back home, Louie and Lenny. I bring a calm, capable and compassionate approach to pet care and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, overnight sitting and extended stays, and I’m especially interested in finding regular clients who need consistent weekly care. My schedule can vary week to week, so feel free to message me about what you’re looking for! For house sitting, I’m very comfortable staying overnight or for longer periods and can often continue my normal workday from your home while keeping your pet company. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, especially when caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your usual feeding, walking, medication, crate, sleep and exercise routines and take the time to learn your pet’s individual habits, boundaries and personality. My professional daycare experience has made me very comfortable reading animal body language, recognizing stress or changes in behaviour and safely managing pets with very different temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with more specific routines or needs. When house sitting or staying overnight, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is cared for while they’re away, not just their pet!

“Anna was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very kind, caring, and attentive to my two cats and two guinea pigs, and I could tell she really took the time to make sure they were well taken care of. She also spent plenty of time playing with my cats, which I really appreciated. Anna was very responsive whenever we needed to text her about something, and overall she made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. I would definitely rebook with her!”

“Krystal provided the perfect environment for Pooh. He got great care. At 13, blind and with diabetes, he still finds ways to get in trouble. He was safe. His medical needs were addressed and he was able to play safely with other pets.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jen. I've had pets all my life and couldn't imagine not having my four legged family companions by my side today. I am available to look after any type of pet in your home or mine, whatever works best for you and your pet. Over the years I have raised a puppy and took in an anxious rescue dog with separation issues so am familiar with the experiences involved in both of these situations. My dogs are treated like the family members they are and you can be assured that I will treat yours the same way. I always make sure the animals I take care of get the best care and are always physically and mentally stimulated throughout the day with downtime for resting. I have plenty of puzzle toys, 20 foot tie out run outside, lick mats, toys, sandbox to dig, agility equipment, conservation area nearby for walking and exploring, etc. Please contact me if you are interested in meeting! I am available for daytime or overnight care in your home or mine. Please contact me and we can work out the details for exactly what you need. I offer overnight care in my home. Your pet will be treated as my own. I have a medium sized yard for playtime for pups that includes a sandbox and also have some agility equipment as well. I also do daily walks at the conservation area near my house. If preferred I can provide care in your home as well. Please reach out and we can work out any details.

“Super nice with me and my cats. Helpful along the way (they helped me bring them up and down). They sent pictures/video of them to see how they interacted. Very good first experience!”

“Margaret has been lovely! She has taken my pup for walks while i’m working long shifts. She is patient with my crazy high energy pup! She gives me updates on how the walks went and is very responsive! I can tell she is passionate about animals!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs since I was young! I also can care for mice, bunnies, rats, and other animals, just message me! I know each personality is different, and I can proudly say I have made friends with animals that love humans as well as those who definitely don’t. Animals with special needs are also not a problem for me! I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs with special needs including diabetes, manual bladder expressions, and mobility/paralysis issues. I’m currently at college (Vet Tech Student) and am looking for jobs that allow me to keep working around animals during this time while also giving enough free time to succeed in classes! I follow instructions given by the owner and often send pictures as updates of how the babies are doing! I can crate, walk, feed, water, play with, and bathe animals (if needed). I also can trim nails if asked! I can send pictures after as proof I didn’t quick them to ensure safety and trust between both you and I, as well as your pet and I!

About: Hello! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl. I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and now am currently working as a Tech at a Veterinary Clinic now going on for 6 years! I am so lucky to be surrounded by animals everyday and always learning new things about each and every animal. I would love to pet sit your furry friend and hopefully become a new best friend for them too! If you are military, I have base access as well! I am available weekdays and weekends.I would also be available to watch your pet at your home if needed ! I would love to chat about any days you may need and we can work out something :) I am available to help out with feeding, walking, giving medications and or just hanging out with your fur baby. I am open to talking about any other things you may need !

“I am so thrilled to have connected with Kristina! My two boys Charlie and Gus were so well taken care of and made to feel right at home with she and her family. They noticed and responded to each of their personalities and provided them with what they needed to feel comfortable and secure. I loved receiving the many photos and updates as this was the first time I have left them with anyone but family! I have already booked again!”

Kim H.

“Charlie had a great time with Luc and Dexter. Luc was really understanding of the fact that Charlie can be a handful. He's a high energy dog and requires a fair amount of attention. Charlie loves other dogs and Dexter was so good with Charlie as well. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter ?”

Jennifer C.

“Absolutely the best! My dogs loved it so much they didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to book with her again!”

Nicole S.

“Jennifer was fantastic with our Ollie, she went over and above with updates to make us feel comfortable while we were away. More importantly, the care and attention Ollie got from Jennifer was exceptional. Her fully fenced in yard allowed Ollie to be outside with lots of space, in between walks and her cuddles.”

Dave G.

“Josée was amazing! She was super friendly, thorough, proactive and flexible. It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but Josée went above and beyond welcoming our dog into her home and family and our nerves quickly went away. Lots of communication and updates with photos and videos were much appreciated! We know Hank was well loved and will miss Josee, Ella, (and even the cats, lol!) He has met some great new friends. Thanks so much!”
