38, Professional Pet Care Provider

Professional pet care provider based out of Ontario. I exchange basic sitting for an interesting place to stay :) I would require pay if care is extensive.

I have 20+ years working as a professional pet care provider in Ontario, Canada, close to Toronto. I have a website with testimonials if you'd like to have a peak, feel free to ask!

I travel to explore, relax and to see friends who moved away from Ontario to British Columbia. I exchange services in these cases as they’re mutually beneficial. I prefer sitting for cats, older calm dogs, and farm animals and I will also stay in your home to keep it safe and secure if you don't have any pets to ... Read more
I have 20+ years working as a professional pet care provider in Ontario, Canada, close to Toronto. I have a website with testimonials if you'd like to have a peak, feel free to ask!

I travel to explore, relax and to see friends who moved away from Ontario to British Columbia. I exchange services in these cases as they’re mutually beneficial. I prefer sitting for cats, older calm dogs, and farm animals and I will also stay in your home to keep it safe and secure if you don't have any pets to care for. I tend to stick close to home and spend many of my days in, so your pets will have tons of time with a person around to fill their love and attention quota!

I have 30+ years of horse experience, including management roles and I love caring for all barnyard pals including sheep, goats, birds of all kinds, pigs and farm dogs.

I treat any place I stay similar to how I treat my paid clients, the only exception is I may enjoy inviting along a family member or friend if they have time off and are in the area of the sit. Any guests would be quiet, clean and experienced in pet care and animal husbandry like myself.

I'm open to locations all over Canada including places around Ontario just for a change of scenery. One of my goals is to photograph some wild/feral horses this year (2026) so if you're close by to some of those herds (Osoyoos, Alberta locations, Sable Island), let me know!

I’m currently looking for September dates in Toronto and October onward in British Columbia (maybe near Osoyoos, but open).

Please reach out if you think we’d be a good match!
