Hello! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with my furry friends. My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from a lifelong love of pets and a genuine desire to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for when their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.I have experience caring for dogs and rabbits.&nbsp; From my energetic dog Hatchet, who need lots of playtime to my 10 year old dog Dude who requires gentle play, I adapt my approach to suit each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also have experience watching other people's dogs and am excited to get back into it!I’m comfortable with feeding routines, daily walks, and providing plenty of attention and companionship.For the safety and wellbeing of all pets in my care, I only accept vaccinated dogs.My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet feels loved and cared for, just like they would at home. 

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;


Two years of experience in Australia and New Zealand as a professional dog, cat, and house sitter. In Australia, I was a pet sitter for more than 15 different families. In New Zealand, I was a live-in helper for a family and my main objective was to help care for a 5-year-old German shorthaired pointer named Jaffa.
A pet owner for my entire life, I have personally raised and trained 3 dogs. I am an active individual who enjoys exercise and spending time with pets. I am currently in Canada on a Working Holiday from Spain, so my motivation for being a pet sitter and walker is to spend time with pets because I'm unfortunately unable to have my own at this time. My hobbies include running, watching and playing football, cooking, and traveling. I have traveled to 6 continents, and this is my first time to Canada.
I'm fluent in English and Spanish.

I am a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver with extensive experience working with a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and even smaller pets. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or has special needs, I understand the unique care and attention required to keep them comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience administering medications and injections, ensuring your pet receives their treatments accurately and calmly.
I’ve cared for special needs cats with chronic conditions, elderly dogs needing gentle assistance, and young and eager puppies requiring patient handling. My goal is to provide a loving, stress-free environment during my time with your loved one, so your pets feel secure and well cared for. I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs, and always prioritize clear communication with pet owners to keep you updated at any time.
I have a flexible schedule that's able to accommodate your needs.
If you want someone who genuinely cares about your pet’s wellbeing and has the skills to manage medical and everyday care, I’m here to help. Let me be the reliable partner in your pet’s health and happiness.

I have over 15 years experience with babysitting, house sitting and animal sitting. With planning day to day activities, to adventures and trail hiking. I am very enthusiastic, motivated and treat everyone I meet like family. 
When I was younger, I started my own dog walking pet business. Assisted with making sure the dogs got a good workout. If younger and required training, I would be able to continue with the basics that you have already influenced in your dogs day to day life. 
If you require some training to be continued; I would definitely be able to assist in the method you prefer. 
 I will have my 5 month old baby with me, who has experiences with dogs and cats.
If you require any cleaning, sweeping, floors washed, dishes that you didn't have time to finish before leaving. Please let me know and I will make sure they are finished prior to coming home. I always find coming home to a clean home after vacation is a little more relaxing when you do not have to worry about anything else that needs to be done. 
Previously; I worked for Carnival Cruise Line, traveling for the past 5 years and learning how to include fun with all guests and to make sure everyone on board was greeted with a smile. I always go above and beyond and will definitely do the same if hired with you. 

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.



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;
