Hello! My name is Danielle but I also go by Dani or Dee and I am 28 years old. I live in Hamilton and love to be active and be outside. I love animals of all kinds and love going on walks. I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to love and care for the beloved pets of others. I'm very flexible when it comes to times and such. I have 2 chihuahuas and have had different sizes of dogs throughout my life. I am calm, kind, caring, compassionate, trustworthy, empathetic, sympathetic and I am very excited about this journey of being a pet walker/caregiver! I'm hopefully going to be starting school next year and I'm hoping to save up a bit before that time comes. I would love to be of service to you and your pet! Please message me so we can talk more!Walk length is 30-45 minutes but for larger dogs I can do 60-90 minutes. I would walk the neighborhood/area that you live in. I would follow any guidelines you give me as well as an area perimeter if the client so wished. I normally will have treats with me, so please let me know if there is something that your dog cannot have and/or is allergic to. I have experience walking large reactive dogs as well as caring for disabled dogs. I do not have experience giving IV medication or needles but I am more then willing and ready to learn.&nbsp;I will communicate with the pet owner throughout the walk, sitting or check in through text/whatsapp. I will include written info of what happened on the walknor visit as well as pictures and videos of your fur baby!

I have always loved dogs, and Pawshake is such a wonderful way to spend time with all kinds of amazing pups. At the moment, I am not able to have a dog of my own, so pet sitting allows me to share my love for animals while helping owners who need reliable, attentive care. I would be truly pleased to look after your dear pets whenever you need a break, whether it’s for a short trip or a longer time away.
I offer daily walks that typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s age, breed, and energy level. For more active dogs, I’m happy to include longer walks and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For senior dogs or those who prefer a slower pace, I adjust accordingly to ensure they are comfortable and not overexerted.
I understand that every dog has a unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or needs a bit of extra patience, I adapt my approach to make them feel secure and understood. Pet safety is extremely important to me. I closely supervise all pets, follow feeding instructions carefully, secure doors and gates, and ensure leashes are properly fitted during walks. I only accept vaccinated pets to maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone in my care.&nbsp;


Hello, My name is Michelle. I am an elementary school teacher and have been teaching children for the past 29 years. Nurturing and caring for children has been an important part of my life. I equally share this same loving nature and enthusiasm for animals. I believe that pets and furry friends have a special place in our hearts and enrich our lives in ways that are indescribable. They bring out such joy and happiness and complete a family. As an owner of three beautiful cats, my family and I devote our time to ensuring our fur babies are a showered with loved and attention. Through snuggles and play time, our cats are exercised and stimulated. They enjoy time indoors and often enjoy supervised outdoor backyard exploration. Each of my cats have their own unique personality and I appreciate their individuality. I strive to ensure that they are loved everyday and provide a comfortable and safe home. In addition, I extend this same admiration to all animals and will provide the same gentle and hands-on care to all pets that I have the privilege of caring for."It is not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that matters! Animals have a way of enriching our life for the better!"&nbsp;


I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and have always had a genuine love for animals.I have dog and cat sat for many friends and family over the years which has given me great experience for this role. I just simply love animals and want to help be that person who can care for them even if it is just for a short time! I have recently lost my dearest dog Abbey and have decided that I am not ready for another pet yet but I am ready to pet sit as I will be able to give that animal love to your pets. I know that as pet parents we want the best for our babies and I am here to give you peace of mind while you are away your baby is getting all of the love they deserve. Whatever your pet needs, I will be there. Whether they want to go play fetch for hours or just snuggle up and watch a movie I can do it all. I am currently not taking pets in my own home but I am more than happy to visit yours to spend time with your fur babies. I have a large background working with older special needs animals as I know they need extra attention. However, all breed and ages are welcome! I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies!
Please keep in mind that while I wish I could do pet sitting full time unfortunately I do work a full time job right now. My schedule is Tuesday- Saturday 9-5 (4 on Saturdays) so as long as you are comfortable with me being away for 8 hours some days we can make it work. 
My services include:
Dog walking: 30 - 60 minute walks depending on your dogs needs
Dog/cat drop ins: I will come to your home and spend 40-60 minutes with your furry friends. I will feed them and let them out if needed or just spend some quality time with them!
Dog/cat sitting: I will stay overnight at your house to look after your fur babies!

I’ve taken care of my fur baby the past year. I’ve dealt with his skin care, grooming, and medication administration to help with ongoing skin issues and allergies. I am also an RPN and having these skills definitely makes me a better dog mom. I am able to assist with grooming, medication administration, walks, exercise plans, feeding, etc. I also have prior experience for 4 years dog sitting my boyfriend's pets (1 dog and two cats). My prior experience definitely helped me to navigate more than 1 pet at home. As of right now, I would prefer only taking your fur baby who is vaccinated (main vaccines like DHPP and rabies) to keep myself, other family members and my pet safe. My motivation to be a pet sitter is to help owners feel comfortable when their fur baby is at home and we humans have life to do (run errands, work, vacation). This is where I come in to help you feel safe and comfortable for your loved fur babies. Walks can go for 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on your dogs needs. Morning routines such as walks before and after meals to relieve themselves, play time, or training dogs to do basic commands. Emergencies can arise and it is important to contact you ASAP. My pet can be left alone for 8 hours max but your pet may need more attention and that is why I am here to help.


Hi!
I'm Micheal. I am a clinical counsellor and an animal enthusiast in Hamilton. I'm 36, and live with my partner in Durand Village. Generally speaking, I don't know if there's a greater feeling than being greeted by an animal who is happy to see you. I really love the genuine connection I feel with the animals in my life, and would love an opportunity to get to know yours!
I have experience sitting / caring for animals as I have housed and cared for both dogs and cats in my home previously. I can be available for and tend to the needs of your pet, caring for them in the specific way you and they are accustomed, and creating peace of mind while you're away.
My motivation to become a pet sitter with Pawshake has to do with my own positive experience. I’ve repeatedly utilized Pawshake's services and it has been nothing short of fantastic! My pet sitter was warm, attentive, communicative, responsible, and an all around pleasure (I would 1000% book her again). But most importantly, she helped me to feel comforted and safe with knowing my cat Lonnie was in good hands. I realized that I would love to be able to do that for someone else.
What I offer is whatever you need from me in the time that I'm present with them.
For cats, visits to the home are 30 mins, and include a photo, communication about any changes, feeding, play-time. Services could include: feeding, pooper scoopering/changing litter, play time, good pets, belly rubs, ear scritches, some light cleaning / clean up, water replacing, inside time, outside time, etc.
I adhere to the standards of Pawshake in terms of services.

Hi I’m Carey

I specialize in calm, attentive care for cats and small animals, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their own home.

I am patient, gentle, and especially good with animals who may be shy, anxious, or need extra care.

I offer drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, litter care, enrichment and playtime, and medication administration if needed.

I provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is well cared for.

I am dependable, observant, and tailor each visit to your pet’s needs.

Flexible availability mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Happy to arrange a meet-and-greet.

I take time to build trust and follow routines closely to reduce stress while you are away. I respect your home and aim to provide a calm reliable experience every visit for both you and your pets while you are away each time.

With a background as a Certified Veterinary Assistant and over 30 years of experience (including 5+ years of clinical practice here in Canada), my life has always revolved around animals. I don’t just "watch" pets; I treat them with the expert care and attention they deserve.
Why choose me for your furry family?
Because of my veterinary background, I specialize in senior pets and medical needs. If your pet requires oral or injectable medications, or simply needs an expert eye to monitor their health while you’re away, I am here to provide that medical-grade peace of mind.
Whether it’s an energetic morning walk or a cozy home visit for your cat, I focus on safety, reliability, and genuine companionship. I believe communication is key, so you can always expect a detailed update with photos after every visit!
I’m so proud to serve our Burlington community and can't wait to meet your best friends. Let’s make sure they are in the safest, most loving hands possible! 🩺️

I've taken care of pets especially dogs and cats since I was 7. My neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to sit, walk, train in basic commands, bathe, and feed their pets. I personally never had a dog or cat at home just because my mother was against it as it would be added responsibility on my parents if I had to work and move out which I understood. I trained many stray dogs and cats as pets and played with and fed them daily. I have also volunteered at BlueCross animal shelter for 4.5 years helping them with sitting, adoption, grooming, feeding, etc. of several animals like camels, eagles, donkeys, cattle, rodents, and birds other than dogs and cats. My home back in India is a mini bird sanctuary since 2019 where we currently house rescued baby parrots and several stray birds that visit every day for feed and chitchat. I consider Nature and all animals my friends and I know they consider me one too. Even though I'm new to Canada and don't own a pet while having walks outside dogs run to me as if they know me without former introduction.
I am currently staying as paying guest so cannot host a pet at my place. I can walk, house-sit a pet at your home and drop in on any day of the week as of now.&nbsp;
Housesitting includes me staying overnight at your home. Your pet may feel safest in their own environment, plus you have the peace of mind of knowing that a professional pet sitter is there to provide them with the best care possible. I always consider them my friends and love them as my own. Housesitting also includes at least two walks per day (30 minutes each), play and cuddle time, maintenance of your pet’s regular food and schedule, and oral medication administration. If your pet has additional or special needs, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate them. Looking forward to working with you and your pet.
Few questions for the pet parents:
Please let me know as much as you can about your dog's personality, energy level, and specific habits. How are they around other people? How do they react to other dogs? While walking, are they allowed to mingle with other dogs?Also, let me know if you go away on a regular basis and how your dog has reacted in the past. Please let me know about any issues they have with food or any allergies. What kind of food do they like, if you have them on a regular schedule, and what do you give them in terms of treats? Their favorite toys they like sleeping with or playing with etc.Please let me know of any health issues and any medication they are taking. Overall, I want as much information as possible so that I can maintain your pet's routine and schedule while you're away and be able to take great care of them.&nbsp;

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I’ve always been passionate about animals. I currently share my life with two wonderful dogs and a sweet sheep – yes, a sheep! My days are filled with fur, fun, and a whole lot of love, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Being around animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to tune into each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs a good run, or a shy dog that needs gentle encouragement, I adapt my care to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy.
That’s exactly why I started offering&nbsp;pet sitting and dog walking services. I know how busy life gets, and how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your pets when you can’t be there. Whether you need daily walks to burn off some energy, drop-in visits while you're at work, or overnight care while you're away, I'm here to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and well-loved.
I became a pet sitter and dog walker because I truly believe animals deserve the best care – even when their humans are busy. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and kind looking after your furry family, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet isn’t just another job to me – they become part of my extended pack.
If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and attention they get at home, I’d love to help. Let’s get those tails wagging!

I am a pet owner myself and would love to help look after yours while you are out or away. I am very comfortable with and able to care for almost all kinds of animals or pets.
I am open to discussing any of your pet's needs. I am a responsible professional with an extensive history of working with animals and is looking to work with more.&nbsp;
I currently work from home, my typical work hours are 7AM to 3PM Monday to Friday. I do have frequent days off and am possiby able to accomodate within this schedule if needed.&nbsp;
I have always had a passion for animals and have worked with many different kinds through my life.
I underwent 1 year of veterinary technician courses in college, while completing co-op at a vet's office. I have worked with and trained birds of prey, farm animals (horses, cows, sheep) as well as many dogs and cats. I have also worked at a pet store with small animals, reptiles and aquatics.&nbsp;
I am very active and love walking and hiking. I currently have a dog, reptiles and many fish.&nbsp;I am happy to take pets on long walks, as well as provide in home care.&nbsp;




I am a caring, responsible, and passionate animal lover with a strong motivation to provide safe, loving, and reliable care for pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and becoming a pet sitter allows me to combine my love for pets with my natural sense of responsibility and attentiveness. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and happy while their owners are away.
I have previous experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including dogs and cats. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of affection and supervision. I understand how important consistency and patience are for animals, especially in a new environment. 
The safety and well-being of all pets in my care is my top priority. For this reason, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. This helps ensure a healthy, secure, and stress-free environment for everyone. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners peace of mind, knowing their pet is in caring and capable hands.
I understand how important routines and feeding schedules are for a pet’s comfort, health, and overall well-being. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that includes specific meal times, portion sizes, special diets, or feeding methods. I’m experienced with dry food, wet food, raw diets, and administering supplements or medication when needed.
I believe routines help pets feel safe and relaxed, so I make sure to maintain their usual daily structure, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits and preferences, ensuring they are eating properly and staying hydrated. If I notice any changes in appetite or behavior, I communicate promptly with the owner.
My daily care includes regular walks, interactive play, enrichment activities, calm companionship, feeding, fresh water, hygiene care, and creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel secure and relaxed. I adapt my approach to each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or need extra patience and reassurance. I take the time to build trust, especially with nervous or anxious pets, using gentle handling, calm energy, and positive reinforcement.
My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free by providing consistent care that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible.
