What’s the difference between a Professional Pet Sitter, and a hobbyist or the girl next door?

​

At Paskapoo Pet Services, we are not your typical “animal lover”, listed on an app and pet sitting for some extra cash!

​

We take our job of caring for our clients’ pets so seriously that we go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect, starting with a certification in professional pet sitting (CPPS), proper business insurance and bonding, city licenses and WCB coverage. We have the experience to handle all situations and care for your pets like no one else. We continuously receive training and guidance from Pet Sitters International and carry Pet First Aid and Pet Care certificates. Furthermore, we use specifically designed software for our complex scheduling needs to ensure we never miss a visit.

​

Professional Pet Sitters are accountable, reliable and caring. We are invested in our work for the long run. We’ve all heard the horror stories and we are working hard to give Professional Pet Sitters a good name.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US!

Kathleen and Nina did a first class job of looking after my two cats. I felt 100 percent sure that they were being properly care for during my holiday. I came home to everything looking great and well care for during my leave. My mail was sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for me. Most important my cats were happy! I will be recommending Kathleen and her services! Thanks for the great job!
