THE PET SITTER
Hi, My name is Monica. I am currently a homeschooling mom and I love animals. I used to do nursing, but have since left the field and I am now studying as a distance student at Queen's University. I consider myself very responsible, affordable, and friendly. I have a lot of experience with animals. My mother is a dog trainer. My sister is a veterinary technician. My other sister works at a pet store. In my life, I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, budgies, cockatiels, an Amazon parrot, canaries, conures, cats, and dogs.
I work with all small animals, birds, fish, cats, and small to large dogs.
I am offering daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, walking services, pet taxi services, and pet photography/ prints.
My services involve one-on-one care, which gives your pet my full loving attention. I won't host multiple families. I will only keep a maximum of 1 dog or 2 cats per family. Your dogs and cats can be safer and get more attention this way from myself and my children. This one-on-one experience allows your pet to have the most fun, feel the happiest, and be the safest.
I will stimulate your pets mentally and physically. I will let your pet get used to me with my scent and calm, soft spoken demeanor. Respect is priority at Niagara Pet Sitter. Your pet will get our full attention and the care he or she needs. We will explore new surroundings with smells if walking. We will enjoy what your pet likes. On hot days we will even have playtime with the sand or hose.
I have a Pet First Aid Certification from St.John Ambulance. I will let you know even if your dog even has hiccups and send you many pictures of your pet throughout the day.
There is a fence in my backyard. I also have a crate if needed and allowed with a comfortable bed. I have a dog gate in the living room when playing.
Extra cleaning and damages will have an extra charge (ex. Diarrhea, damage to property).
Please let me know your pet’s personality, usual behaviour and the schedule you will like me to follow. Your pet and you are in charge.
My kids, pets (2 super small dogs) and I will give your animals play, socialization and loving attention. They will never be bored or sad at Niagara Pet Sitter.
Please contact me if interested and with any questions.
Follow me on Instagram where you will see many fur and feathered babies I have cared for and reviews from their families.
BOARDING
Boarding at Niagara Pet Sitter is both safe and fun. Does your pet need a vacation? At Niagara Pet Sitter, pets are treated as friends and prioritized. Pets will be given their own area where I will put their toys, food, bowls, and comfort objects. They will be able to go there freely when they wish. They will also have access to the backyard where there is an elevated dog bed, umbrella and even sand for digging and play. On very hot days I get out the hose or sprinkler. Some pets loved splashing in the mud while others would run through the sprinkler,
At nights your pet will be near my kids camped out in the living room. Your furbaby will still receive cuddles while you are away.
Walks will be given and park visits to get your dog running and active.
Safety is priority at Niagara Pet Sitter. There will always be a pet first aid kit on site, along with a fence in the backyard and crates if I leave the home. However, I will never crate unless I am out. During your pet's visit I will try to always be home and send you many updates through the day.
PET DAY CARE
Pet daycare at Niagara Pet Sitter is always fun. Tourists who visit the Niagara Falls can rest assured that their pet is in a safe, loving, one on one environment. While you are having fun, your pet will also be having fun.
If you live in Niagara, pet daycare will give your pet an opportunity to socialize, get further training and a lot of attention while you are busy in your days. Frequent potty breaks are given along with a lot of play.
There will always be a pet first aid kit on site.
During all stays updates with pictures are sent. You will never have to worry while your pet is at Niagara Pet Sitter.
WALKING
Dog walking at Niagara Pet Sitter is always fun. Your dog will get to exercise, socialize, play and use the potty. Safety is priority at Niagara Pet sitter. I will only walk dogs that are within your family together one at a time. In addition, I am trained in pet first aid and will have a pet first aid kit on hand if your fur babies come into trouble.
DROP-IN VISITS
Drop-In Visits are fun for your pet. During our visit we will play and talk to your pet. We will also feed your fur, feathered or scaled babies, and make sure your pet is clean and safe. You will get many pictures and updates. Our priority is making sure your time away is worry-free and your pet is happy, clean and fed.
PET TAXI
Finding a pet taxi is difficult in Niagara. Pets cannot ride with the police, ambulance or in taxis. Niagara Pet Sitter offers both safe and fun transportation for your fur or feathered babies.
PET PHOTOGRAPHY
Our moments with our fur, feathered or scaled babies are precious and need to be cherished. At Niagara Pet Sitter we offer digital copies and prints. Digital copies will allow online or text sharing with friends and family. Prints will allow you to cherish the memories of your cuties in a frame in your home.
