Thanks for stopping by my profile! From a young age I’ve felt a deep love, understanding and connection to all animals. Caring for them is something I’m passionate about. I understand that pets are not just furry sidekicks. They’re a true part of the family and deserve to be treated as such!
I was a dog mom for about 8 years which taught me a lot about dogs and myself. Buddy was a sweet and loyal companion who I miss dearly. Saying goodbye and going through that with him made me a much stronger person. I’m extremely grateful for the time we shared together.I have a lot of working experience with dogs and cats, from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, to house sitting and personalized pet care. I've been pet sitting for friends and family and on pawshake on and off for around 11 years now. Summer 2020, my partner and I adopted two hilariously cute kitten brothers, Fred and Ron. It’s been an exciting adventure watching them grow! 
I pride myself in being kind, trustworthy, reliable and respectful. I'll always make sure that your pet is safe, happy and gets all the playtime and cuddles necessary. At this time, my schedule is pretty flexible and I have a vehicle which makes commuting a breeze. I’d love to come care for your furry family members while you are away! 
My services include home visits and housesitting for all animals.
Home visits: typically 30 mins, depending on the number of pets. 1-2 home visits per day which include love, attention and playtime, as well as feed, give fresh water and clean litter box.
Housesitting: I will stay at your place and care for you pet(s) while you are away. I will respect your place by keeping it tidy as well as bring in the mail, take out the garbage/recycling and water plants, if required. I’ll send updates and photos if you'd like. I will always ensure that you will return to happy relaxed pets and a clean home! 
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to send me a message.
Thank you for time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon!

"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.

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 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!


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! 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.
