Hi, I'm Maurice.

I grew up in the Netherlands where my family regularly fostered rescue dogs from Spain, so I'm experienced with all kinds of personalities: shy, anxious, high-energy, or reactive. I stay calm, read body language, and give pets time to feel safe around me. I also have extensive cat experience and understand their need for space, routine, and respect. I let cats set the pace while ensuring they're fed, comfortable, and cared for.

I live in North York and keep routines steady: on-leash walks, fresh water, meds or meals as directed, doors locked, and harness/collar checks before every walk. No off-leash or dog parks unless you ask, and we always try a short walk first to see if the dog is responsive to me. You'll get clear updates each visit.

I'm comfortable with large breeds, senior dogs, and pets with quirks or reactivity. I follow your training cues and household rules. I only accept vaccinated pets and treat every animal like family. 

Pet sitting is meaningful to me because I genuinely enjoy the companionship and trust animals offer, and to give that exact same in return means the world to me!
