Dog Walker Pickering

I understand that pets are members of the family and how important it is for pet parents to choose a dog walker/pet sitter that is the right fit for the family. Pets are my passion and life feels incomplete without them. It was a natural progression then that my post secondary education would take me in that direction, studying Animal Health at the University of Guelph`s Agricultural College. I graduated in 1999 as a veterinary assistant. Over the years since, I have worked for some fantastic veterinarians, as well as managed a large pet boarding and daycare facility in Toronto. These combined experiences led to my decision to provide home based pet care/sitting and dog walking services. I take the time to meet with you and your pets to better understand what you are looking for in a pet care professional and of course to make sure that we are a suitable match for each other. I tailor my services to the needs of you and your family, so that your pet gets to maintain a schedule and routine that they are accustom to. I look forward to working with you.

| I worked for a dog walking company in the past (one summer) and I also have been a cat owner for most of my life and feel very comfortable with them. I have experience with dogs as well and welcome the opportunity to care for them or walk them. Happy to help where I can! Very flexible with the rate of pay.

| My skills and experience definitely come from being a pet owner myself. I have the most experience with cats. I like to think I know cats inside out and friends call me a “cat whisperer” because even the so-called mean cats warm up to me quickly. I’ve had cats since I was six and currently have two mature cats and one kitten. I also have experience with dogs from the two big dogs & tiny wiener dog that have been with me for almost 8 years, and other big dog experience from family members. I’ve also owned hamsters, rats, fish, and a bearded dragon. Services I could provide are: dog walking (multiple dogs is no problem) basic dog training (sit, lie down, paw) feeding cleaning litter boxes overnight care pet sitting As a side note I'd like to add that big barking dogs or angry cats don’t make me nervous or scared, if your pet isn’t so used to strangers & comes off as “aggressive” I won’t make their nervous energy worse by being nervous myself.

| As a passionate dog lover with over four years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I understand the unique needs and personalities of every pup I care for. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, which has taught me how to communicate effectively with them and provide them with the attention, care, and exercise they need. My approach is not just about walking dogs—it's about creating a safe, enriching environment for them to explore and enjoy. I pride myself on being punctual, reliable, and sensitive to each dog's individual needs, whether it's a slow, leisurely stroll or an energetic run. Your dog will feel comfortable and loved in my care, as I treat every pet as if they were my own. Trusting me with your dog's walk means giving them the best, most compassionate care possible.
