As a devoted cat owner and passionate animal lover, I truly understand the care, attention, and love our furry companions need. I’m 21 years old and the proud owner of an 8-year-old Maine Coon, so I’m very familiar with the unique personalities and needs of cats—especially the picky, playful, and cuddly ones! My cat has taught me so much about patience, communication, and creating a safe, enriching environment.
My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from my deep love for animals and the joy I find in caring for them. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind, and I aim to offer peace of mind to fellow pet parents by treating every pet like my own—with kindness, respect, and genuine affection.
I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, and I always prioritize safety and hygiene. For the health of all animals involved, I only accept fully vaccinated pets into my home. I also have experience with medications and can provide it to your fluffy little baby.

With over ten years of experience in pet care, I am deeply passionate about providing attentive, loving service to dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. My primary goal is to ensure that each pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for, whether they're staying in my home or yours. I offer a range of services from daily walks, playtime, and feeding to specialized care for pets with health needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.
My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my genuine love for animals and my belief that they deserve the best care possible. I’m available 24/7, offering peace of mind to pet owners who need flexibility in their schedules. With a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise, your pets can enjoy their time with me just as much as they would at home. My sister also helps with pet care, providing extra attention and love.
I only take vaccinated pets into my care to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I look forward to giving them the attention they deserve!

My name is Jenna, I'm 27, and I have lived with either one or 2 cats in my home my entire life since I was about 5 years old. I know how hard it can be to find dedicated cat sitters when most pet care sites and services tend to be catered toward dogs, with cats as an afterthought.
I want to provide cat care you can rely on. Wether your fur baby is playful, fearful, energetic, lethargic, young, old, I can adjust to their needs and be sure they are fed and comfortable while you're away. My availability is usually very flexible and I'm quick with communication so you will never have to worry about how the little one is doing, as I can always provide prompt updates to ease your mind. I am available for check-ins as well as overnight stays, which can include feeding, administering medication, or simply just playing and/or keeping them company.
I've always had an affliction for cats and strive to provide care where cats are at the forefront, not just an afterthought behind dogs. Your little one will always be in good hands.

I had a very loving cat the past 7.5 years.  The bond was so close and we took care of each other everyday.  This is one of the best time in my life, simply precious.  The time we played, the things he taught me, the love we gave each other, all things between us are just wonderful.  Unfortunately he passed away last week (Feb 2026) from some illnesses, and I was by his side all the time and the care was around the clock.  I made myself available to him everyday and I didn't take any personal travels.  Now that he's gone I feel good for having given him as much time I had.  I understand sometimes owners really have to go away due to work or anything and making sure their pets will be well taken care of is vitally important.  This is the motivation - offering help to both the owners and would really want to make sure the animals are ok.  Plus I love to be around cats - they are really something.  I will not be taking any pets into my place.  Just in home visit.


Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog lover who truly enjoys giving pets a fun, positive break in their day. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and personalities (I've had 2 English Bulldogs in the past and am now a dog mom to Biggie, a 4 year old Mini Long Haired Dachshund), and I always tailor each walk to what your dog needs. I offer a variety of walk styles — from slow, sniff-filled strolls for relaxed pups, to more active, structured walks for high-energy dogs who need plenty of movement. Whether your dog prefers a calm, predictable route or likes exploring new paths, I adjust our time together to match their comfort level.
Safety is extremely important to me. I always check equipment before starting, keep a close watch on surroundings, and avoid unsafe areas or interactions. If anything unexpected happens — such as another reactive dog, sudden weather changes, or your dog showing signs of stress — I stay calm, redirect quickly, and choose the safest option for your pet. I’m confident handling shy dogs, enthusiastic pullers, and pups who need a bit of extra reassurance.
Communication is a big part of my service. After each walk or visit, you’ll receive a clear update along with photos so you know exactly how your pet did. I’m always happy to follow your instructions, share observations, and keep you informed of anything unusual.
For home visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or pee-pad checks, light cleanup, playtime, and medication if needed. I only accept vaccinated pets to keep everyone healthy and safe.
I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them the attentive, joyful care they deserve!


Hi, my name is Ilya!
I'm excited to introduce myself as your go-to pet sitter, and I can't wait to pamper your furry friends. With over 35 years of experience caring for pets, I've decided to turn my passion into a fulfilling retirement gig.
My wife and I reside in a spacious detached home with a fenced backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. We share our home with a friendly 10-year-old rescue dog named Bim, who gets along famously with other canine companions.
I offer a range of services, including doggy daycare, dog boarding, home visits and dog walking. However, please bear in mind that I prefer not to work with dogs who are strong pullers to prevent any unnecessary strain.
For the well-being of all our guests, I only accept vaccinated and spayed/neutered pets. Rest assured, your pets will always have company. My wife works from home, meaning we are practically always available to shower your pets with the love and attention they deserve.
To ensure a perfect match, I follow Pawshake's policy of scheduling a meet and greet with you and your pet. During their stay, I'll be happy to keep you connected with updates, pictures, and videos, so you'll always have peace of mind!
Think of me as the spoiling grandpa your pet will love to come back and visit. Let's make your pet's stay exceptional - Looking forward to hearing from you!Ps: I speak English, Russian and Hebrew :)&nbsp;

Hi, I’m Sara, I’m a dedicated pet sitter who believes that every animal deserves a caregiver who truly "gets" them. I’ve always found it easy to connect with pets of all temperaments, and I pride myself on being a calm, observant, and reliable presence in their lives. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking partner or your cat prefers a quiet companion to sit nearby, I’m here to provide whatever makes them feel most comfortable.
I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I treat your home and your furry family members with the utmost respect and empathy. I’m a big believer in clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos to keep you connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to follow your routine perfectly and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy until the moment you walk back through the door.

Hiii, I'm pargol, I'm 18 years old and I would love to be your pets new friend.
I love pets so much and they are one of my family, I love spending time with them and take care of them.
In my neighborhoods everyone are pet friendly and so many people have pets.
I could spend 1 hour in your home when you decide that I came to visit your pet or more if you want and how hours do you want when you are in trip, when you are in trip I could be able to water plants.
We could talk about how much time do you want me to walk your dog outside and where.
I'm full available right now.
When I was 14 I often looked after my aunt’s German Shepherd—taking him out for potty breaks and feeding her. 
I also cared for my sister’s cat for 2 years while she was at work: feeding, cleaning the litter, playing, and even trimming its nails and I was with her 12 hours daily.
 I take care of so many dogs and cats for 1 year cause I like spending time with them.
And I can't take cats and dogs to my place cause I'm living with my sisters cat but I will come to your place for take care of them and going out with them and anything else for them I would love to do.

I've taken care of dogs of every kind most of my life, and I love all animals. I will be able to walk, feed, play with, bathe, your pets and even administer medication(s) if required. I will treat your pup(s) friend like a family member as if they were my own. There are lovely parks in the area and I also have a car to take them to off leash parks in the area. Over the years I have I also volunteered with various rescue organizations and I have taken care of many dogs for both family and friends.&nbsp;
I have an open home, and accept dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and ages, and don't have a dog in my home at present, (which is ideal for dogs that may require solo care).  There are lots of parks in the area and paths we can walk through together, and lots of other pups in the area to play with, (if your pup is good with other dogs).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pups are allowed on my furniture and I encourage it.  I do however, go by your pup's program, schedule and what you wish.  They will be walked every 3-4 hours and also they will be fed based on their current schedule. As I am alone in my apartment, I am able to devote all my time on your pup. The longest I would ever be out of my home is 2 hours however, because I am primarily home, that won't be very frequently.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have a one bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor. I do not have any plants only artificial which are out of reach. I have a very dog friendly apartment.  The building is very dog friendly.  I also have an elevator in case your pup doesn't like stairs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have a balcony which has artificial grass and also I have places for your pup to sit and enjoy a little sunbathing. I will never leave your pup unattended on the balcony.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Before I accept any dog, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet, so make sure we all get along, and so if you think I might be a great fit, please contact me, and let's have a chat!&nbsp;


For my experience, I’ve taken care of friends’ and families’ pets since I was 12, always an animal lover and had been a volunteer during University, during that time I’ve taken care of 20+ pets, big and small ones.
Having 4 pet buddies and one of them was rescued 6 years ago, saved him from starving and become a healthy, clean and active love one.
I am responsible and caring. I take care of your pet with respect, offering affection and attention to your pet. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own and will do everything I can to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away!
I will send lots of photos or videos for update while your pet is staying with us, hairbrushing is provided if needed. High energy dogs are welcome and play time will be provided, playing fetch and walks when ever needed.

Hi! I have two cat babies myself - both were rescues kitties.  One is a a male with grey and white patterns, and another is a female with beautiful blue eyes and a cream coat of fur.  They have been my companions for almost a decade now! All my cats are vaccinated and are indoor cats.
I am experienced in handling and taking care of cats.  The best part though, is the purring-sessions I get to offer!  I'd love to cat-sit for your beloved furry family member! If there is anything specific about your cat or special instructions that needs to be followed, just let me know!Aside from pet-sitting, I am a professional photographer, so while I am there to take care of your fur baby, I can capture some photos for you to enjoy as well so you have a peace of mind seeing how well your fur baby is doing. 


Hi! 
My name is Nataliia or just Nataly. I am 22 years old. I am from Ukraine, and I studied architecture in Poland. my diploma project is Shelter for animals. 
I know 4 languages: Ukrainian, English, Polish and russian.
From my childhood I have a dog and a cat. The dog is a pug (now she is 14 years old). I walked with her every day and taught some base commands. I fed my pets and gave them oral medication if they needed. 
When I moved to another city I set and walked with my friends dogs: big and small. I walked with them in parks and forest.
I very like animals and they like me! I have moved in Toronto in February, and just want to spent some time with pets because now I can not take my own, and also earn some money before I found full-time work. 
I can walk with your dog, teach some base commands. Come and feed your pets or just stay with them some time.
I can provide my services in weekend, or sometimes in usual days.
