As a dedicated cat lover, I provide reliable and compassionate care for your feline friends while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I will make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having had cats my whole life, I am experienced in caring for all kinds of cats and temperaments, and understand howimportant it is to have someone you can trust with your pet.&nbsp;

Home visits are 30 minutes. This includes:
- feeding your pet and filling their water
- cleaning the litter box
- playing with them/providing pets or cuddles, as requested. 

I also sometimes take housesit/boarding requests, offering extra peace of mind and company for your pet.&nbsp;

I work a regular job M-F 8-4:30, but am otherwise flexible with timing of visits.

I primarily serve James Bay but am also available in some nearby areas.I look forward to meeting you and your cat!


Growing up, my house was filled with all sorts of pets and I have always adored animals (I still go to Butterfield Acres as a 21-year-old!) I have years of experience in pet sitting, and after having one dog with cancer and another with a leg amputation, I am well-versed&nbsp; in giving medication, home care, and strict feeding/walking schedules. As a very active person- I love to walk, run, or hit the dog park with the company of a furry friend! I am new to Pawshake but have 5-stars on Rover if you search my profile there!
I promise loving and reliable pet-care for your pups or kitties and offer home-visits or overnight stays. I will treat your home and pets with respect, keep everything clean, and offer additional services (e.i. shovelling, cleaning, miscellaneous tasks, mail, etc.) as well as a clean up to leave the house looking better than when I arrived.

Hi! I’m Nusrat, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all kinds . I have hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who prefer calm walks and extra attention. I’ve also cared for pets with special needs, including administering medications, monitoring health, and adjusting routines to keep them comfortable and safe.

Every pet has a unique personality, and I tailor my approach to match theirs. For example, shy or anxious pets get extra reassurance and gentle encouragement, while active dogs enjoy structured walks and interactive games. I also follow consistent routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise to help pets feel secure while you’re away.

Safety is my top priority. I always supervise pets during walks and playtime, ensure secure environments, and am trained to handle unexpected situations calmly — from minor scrapes to sudden stress in pets. I communicate regularly with owners, sending updates, photos, and notes so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and cared for.

I have flexible availability, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your schedule. With me, your pets will receive love, attention, and personalized care — I treat them just like my own!

"Hi! I’m Maria, and my passion for animals is at the heart of everything I do. I believe pets are family members who deserve the highest standard of care. My goal is to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.

Daily Routine &amp; Care:

I tailor every day to your pet's specific needs. A typical day includes 30 to 45-minute walks (adjusted for energy levels), dedicated playtime for mental stimulation, and plenty of supervised rest. I am strictly diligent with feeding schedules, hydration, and following any specific medical or dietary instructions you provide.
Safety &amp; Emergency Handling:
Safety is my top priority. During walks, I use secure harnesses and stick to pet-friendly, low-stress routes. To maintain a healthy environment for everyone, I only host vaccinated pets. I am calm under pressure and experienced in identifying signs of distress; in the event of an emergency, I have a clear protocol to contact your vet immediately while keeping you updated in real-time.

Experience &amp; Skills:
Whether it’s a high-energy puppy needing patience or a senior pet requiring a gentle touch and medication, I have the experience to handle both. I pride myself on being observant and patient, ensuring your best friend feels cherished and secure until you return.
I can’t wait to meet your furry friend soon!"

Key Improvements Made:
• Routine: Added specific walk times and "playtime" to satisfy the app's requirement for a "daily routine."
• Emergencies: Mentioned staying calm, recognizing distress, and having a vet protocol.
• Safety: Added details about using secure harnesses and choosing safe walking routes.
• Keywords: Used "1-on-1 attention" and "peace of mind," which are great for attracting owners.

Hello! My name is Egg, and I have been fostering, pet sitting, adopting, rehabilitating and rescuing animals since I was four years old!
i have experience from taking care of newborns, to end of life care. I have lots of experience with pets with medical needs and disabilities as well. 
As far as my schedule goes, I work 10-2 mon-thurs, but my partner is always home during that time. the only time we are both gone is for one hour some monday evenings. I live in an apartment with a sunroom, and am a firm believer of indoor only cats. there's multiple gray ferris near my house, and a dog park not too far away. There is a emergency vet just down the street if ever needed.
I have plenty of toys and healthy live plants enrichment. All of my plants are pet safe, and most of them are specifically for cats! (i have a LOT of cat grass!) I have a birdseed feeder set up outside my window with a perch for cats to see and watch the birds, I also am almost always home and open to play or snuggle!
let me know what your pet likes or doesn’t like, or if they’re on a very tight feeding schedule, or if they have any medication or allergies or other medical conditions.
I absolutely adore pets, cats especially, and would love to meet yours! 
If I sound like a good match, send me a message! 
(I also just saw ferrets is an option here! i've only ever fostered ferrets, but i love them so dearly!!!!! )

Hi! I'm Andrew. I grew up in Toronto and it's where I first fell in love with pets and walking. My first experiences involved walking our family dog, Maggie, around Leaside and down towards the Brickworks via the Don Valley Ravine. Since then, I've spent as much time as possible outside.
I adopted my first two cats (Twinston &amp; Lotus) in 2018 and recently adopted a third rescue, Tuna. My girlfriend has a dog, Roxy, and for the first time in my life I get to spend my days with both cats and dogs. I'm very grateful to them for the time we get to spend outdoors walking and also cuddling on the couch. They remind me to be patient, happy, and to live in the moment. 
I love walks of all distances in all seasons (sun, rain, snow, wind-- I'm ready!) and feel this is a great way where I can blend my love of animals and walking outside. When not walking, I'm ready to play fetch, work with your pet on tricks and cuddle. 
I'm available to walk, feed, and cuddle your pets! Flexible with home visit length and can water plants bring in mail and more. I have full weekday availability and occasional weekend availability. Dog walk lengths are also flexible.
Let's chat! I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Hi there! I'm a full-time writer who loves caring for dogs. I've had the responsibility of pets my entire life, and over the last five years have taken care of an Australian cattle dog whom I adore.&nbsp;
I have extensive experience in managing the needs of very high-energy dogs, but also pets with special needs as I had a cat with Type 1 diabetes for 15 years to whom I had to give insulin shots twice a day. Whether your dog needs tender care at home or needs to go on a 6km hike every day, I'm happy to help.
I am loving, conscientious, and kind. Most of all, I'm trustworthy. Because I spend so much time behind a computer, taking care of your dog or cat would be the highlight of my day. Walks are 45 minutes minimum, and usually longer. I give my all to my animal friends. It also means that I won't be overbooking myself while your dog or cat is in my care.&nbsp;
Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about me and my approach to pet care!


With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly understand that pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re cherished members of the family. I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care, shaped not only by years of experience but also by being a devoted pet parent myself. I currently care for a high-needs cat, which has made me especially comfortable supporting pets who require extra patience, consistency, and thoughtful attention.
I am well-versed in medication routines, special dietary needs, behavioral sensitivities, and providing the kind of reassurance that helps pets feel safe and secure in their own environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, ensuring they receive the same level of care, respect, and love I give my own.
I previously provided pet-sitting services in Ottawa before relocating to Victoria and am excited to begin offering care here. While my “spicy cheeto” is very much a one-cat wonder, that simply means I can dedicate my full attention to caring for your pets in the comfort of their own homes. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, reliability, and genuine care while you’re away.&nbsp;



I have extensive experience in dog care, focusing on puppies, senior dogs, and active breeds. My services ensure that your dog will receive personalized attention in a safe, clean environment. I always prioritize following care instructions to maintain the comfort and well-being of your dog.

I am skilled in handling energetic dogs during walks and playtime and always ensure their safety and enjoyment. I am available for dog walking and visits from 6 PM to 10 PM on weekdays and all day on Thursdays and Fridays for more extended pet care services.

Special Requests &amp; Needs
If your dog has any special medical needs, unique behaviors, or dietary requirements, please inform me. I have experience with a range of breeds but prefer well-socialized dogs that enjoy being active and friendly. Regular updates and clear communication with pet owners are important to me to build trust and ensure your peace of mind.

Let’s work together to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well cared for!

Hi! I'm Heather! I am a lifelong pet owner with a passion for animals of all types. I have been a fur mom to cats, dogs, rats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. I am comfortable with all animals with fur and four legs. 
Animals have always been in my life and have provided me with comfort through some difficult parts of life. I like to be able to give back to them whenever possible and have volunteered for the Humane Society, SPCA, Kibbles for K9s, and various fundraisers for animals. 
I work from home in a professional role and currently have the flexibility to provide home visits for cats, dogs and small animals. I am mobile and can transport pets as needed. We have a small baby so currently I don't have the ability to do overnights or boarding in my home. 
I have two cats and a blue heeler dog. I am experienced giving medications (oral and topical, I currently do not provide injections) and I live in the Marigold area. 
Feel free to reach out if you need some help with your fur family. My schedule can change here and there, and if I'm not available in my calendar I can be contacted for inquiries to see if I can make your dates work. I can also recommend other sitters I trust and have utilized for my own pets.
