Caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys, and as a loving pet sitter, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I understand that pets are more than companions; they’re family members, so I take pride in providing the highest quality care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality.&nbsp;
Whether it’s going on energizing dog walks, stopping by for daily check-ins, or simply spending extra cuddle time, I ensure your furry friends receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise.&nbsp;
My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and secure, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.&nbsp;
From playful pups and kittens to gentle seniors, I’m committed to creating a fun, loving, and stress-free experience for your pets while you’re away.&nbsp;
Please feel free to contact me and we can discuss further how I can assist you and your sweet furry friends.


Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, some playtime, or extra attention, I’m here to help and make sure they feel secure and cared for.
I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to get to know them and adjust my approach. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who love long walks as well as more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or instructions you provide to keep things consistent for your pet. Walks typically last 30 minutes, but an hour walk can be requested.&nbsp;
I treat every dog like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and communicative, and I’m always happy to send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your dog is not only safe, but happy and excited for every walk!&nbsp;


I am a long-time Waterloo resident known by neighbors as a dependable "safe pair of hands" for their pets. I genuinely enjoy the steady, calm energy dogs bring to a day and believe in providing a structured, happy environment where they can truly thrive. My approach is simple: I provide calm, steady companionship so your dog feels settled and well-exercised while you're away. Whether your pup is high-energy or on the shy side, I focus on building trust through a predictable routine and a patient, positive attitude.
What to Expect:

Active Play: I typically provide one hour of outside play exploring local trees and fields.
Nervous Pets: I am patient with shy dogs and use gentle enrichment activities to help them feel secure and build confidence.
Medications &amp; Safety: I am comfortable administering oral medications as needed and am always prepared to follow your specific emergency protocols.
Capacity &amp; Availability: I prioritize quality of care by taking only a limited number of dogs at once, ensuring your pet gets the focused attention they deserve.
Training Reinforcement: While not a professional trainer, I am highly comfortable reinforcing your established house-training, socialization, and basic command routines.
Behavioral Support: I specialize in managing different energy levels by building trust through predictable routines and a patient, positive attitude.
Off-Leash Options: If your dog has great recall, I’m happy to visit off-leash areas for a more vigorous run.
Experience: I have years of practical experience, including a dedicated six-month stretch providing daily care for a friend's dog.
Communication: I prioritize peace of mind by sending regular photo updates throughout our time together.


For the safety and health of everyone involved, I only accept pets that are fully up-to-date on their vaccinations. This helps ensure a safe and healthy environment for all the animals in my care.



Hi there! I’m a longtime animal lover and first-time sitter, opening up my home to your furry family members. I'm a work-from-home mom with plenty of time, space, and love to give—and I’m excited to offer safe, personalized care while you’re away.
About My Services
I offer:

Dog boarding, daycare, and dog walking
Up to 2 guest dogs at a time, to ensure personalized attention and a stress-free environment
1–2 walks per day, each typically 30–45 minutes, adjusted to your dog’s energy level
Supervised outdoor play in a fully fenced backyard
Administering oral medications (no injections)
Light brushing/grooming on request (not professional grooming)
No formal training services, but I will reinforce routines and commands your dog is already working on

Time Spent with Pets
Since I work from home, I’m available to supervise pets 24/7, with minimal time away. During boarding, pets will never be left alone for more than 3 hours, and during daycare, no more than 1 hour. I structure my day around their needs and make sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved.
My Routine &amp; Availability
I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate daytime and overnight care. Walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime are all integrated into my daily routine. I’m available weekdays and most weekends, and I’m happy to discuss longer stays or recurring bookings.
My Home &amp; Family
I share my home with:

Sully, our senior Bernese Mountain Dog—she’s incredibly gentle and gets along well with other animals
Loaf, our mellow orange tabby cat, who mostly keeps to herself
My child and partner—both kind, calm, and experienced with animals


Guest pets are welcome throughout the home and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable—a cozy pet bed in the living room, a crate (if they use one), or even beside us in the bedroom.
We have a fully fenced backyard that’s spacious, secure, and perfect for supervised outdoor time. Gates are always locked, and pets are never left outside unattended.
Whether your pet is a high-energy or more low-key, I'll tailor care to suit their needs and personality. If you're looking for a calm, cozy, and caring environment, I'd love to help! Let me know if you would like to set up a meet and greet!


Hello, my name is Kiko.&nbsp;
As a certified pet sitter and dedicated pet lover, I currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I believe every pet deserves a loving home and strives to provide top-notch care. While not every home needs a pet, those that do should cherish their furry family as we are their whole world. I am passionate about animal welfare and will donate 1/4 of my pet sitting earnings to animal shelters, helping stray animals find love and care again. Start making conscious choices to show your love to all the animals around us. Your pets will receive the same affection and attention I give to my own two kitties, who I’ve trained to do fun tricks like 'hands', 'stand', and 'jump'. With experience pet sitting cats and dogs for friends during their long vacations, you can trust that your pets will be in loving and capable hands. I’m committed to ensuring that, even when you’re away, your furry family feels loved and cared for, just as if you were home. 

I have a very flexible schedule, except Tuesdays to Thursdays, which I have in person classes for school and volunteer work at the animal shelter. Can work things out if needed.

Below are the services I offer with a small description of what I would be doing during each service:

Dog Walks&nbsp;
I will walk the dog for at least 30 minutes once or twice per day. If your dog enjoys car rides and you’re okay with that, we can go to dog parks and trails to enjoy a little adventure. I would prefer one dog at a time so I can give my full attention to engaging, interacting, and playing with him or her. I’m also fine with an additional dog if they prefer going out together. All decisions are subject to the preferences of our furry friends.
Home Visits&nbsp;
I can come by once or twice a day with at least an hour stay for each visit to make sure your furry family is well taken care of. I can administer oral medication to the pet if needed. There will be indoor playtime for each visit. If they enjoy the outdoors, I can also accommodate that. I will also help with some minor home chores such as watering plants and bringing in the mail if needed.
House Sitting&nbsp;
We can coordinate how long you would like me to stay there.
Please feel free to reach out for more details. Can’t wait to meet with you and your beloved furry family️&nbsp;


I have always lived with pets, and caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. Growing up surrounded by dogs taught me how important routine, patience, and affection are for their wellbeing. This lifelong experience is what motivated me to become a pet sitter.

I offer in-home pet care and dog walking services, making sure pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away. During home visits, I follow each pet’s usual routine carefully, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship, so they feel safe and relaxed. I always take time to give pets attention and reassurance, especially those who may feel anxious when their owners are not home.

For dog walks, I adapt the pace and length of the walk to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. Whether a dog enjoys calm walks or needs more active outings, I make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need in a safe and controlled way.

I am attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality. I only care for vaccinated pets to ensure a safe environment. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own, providing reliable, loving, and responsible care.

My name is Michelle. I'm a wife, stay-at-home-mother, dog-mom, and an artist and entrepreneur. My life is all about flexibility, between caring for a newborn amidst a husband working (and trying to concentrate) from home, entertaining a nine-year-old (and getting her to and from this and that), giving our doggo all the love and comforts of indoor life he deserves, and making time for myself either to relax, paint, or get ahead on projects for my business. So, I'm on Pawshake to help others achieve flexibility in their schedules and find balance as well.&nbsp;I combine my love of furballs, my dog-mom experience, and my desire to not literally be a stay-at-home-100%-of-the-time-mom (yeah ... let's call that my eager and enthusiastic work ethic), to provide my customers' canine friends with the best at-home visits and outdoor strolls.&nbsp;Additionally, my customers can opt-in for a bonus service of socializing their furry friend(s) with mine: "Loyal" Lloyd - a goofy and gentle, rescued (neutered and vaccinated) northern Quebec reservation dog who loves basically everyone.&nbsp;Do I sound like just what your pup needs? Then you know what to do. Let's meet your pawsome pal(s)!&nbsp;

Hello! My name is Kartik Arora, and I'm a passionate and dedicated pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Pets have surrounded me from a young age, ranging from dogs and cats to birds and small mammals. This early exposure nurtured my deep affection and understanding of animal behaviour, making pet sitting a natural fit for me. I will provide pet walk and pet sitting at the owner's house 

My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my belief that pets are cherished family members who deserve the best care, especially when their owners are away. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friends behind, so I strive to provide them with a safe, loving, and fun environment. I aim to ensure that every pet feels comfortable and happy in my care, giving their owners peace of mind.

I have several years of experience in pet sitting, during which I’ve handled various breeds and temperaments. I prioritize safety and health, so I only accept vaccinated pets into my home to ensure the well-being of all animals in my care. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medication, I tailor my services to meet each pet's specific needs.
