This is my availability calendar. I will update as bookings come in. Ideally, please have a look at the calendar before booking your trip so we can coordinate dates.
Luxury live in pet sitting cannot be overlapped with another Luxury live in sit or boarding booking. All other bookings can be overlapped unless there is a booking more than 30 minutes from one another (eg. Stouffville and Toronto).
I'm still getting the kinks worked out in the mobile app. Desktop viewing seems to work with all the correct labels. If you’re still using mobile, you have to click on the booking, then click “more details” to view what the booking is otherwise it just shows as “busy” which is not useful. Desktop shows all the information.
About Me
My Name is Kate Rogers
As a life long animal lover, I started my business caring for farms and indoor pets as an 18 year old living in rural Uxbridge. At the time, I already had 4 years of working experience on horse farms to compliment my personal experience around horses which began when I was young child at age 4. You couldn't get me away from the barn and I was eager to learn all I could.
I have always been a calm, quiet person who is a natural observer and this helped me tremendously throughout my career learning about animal behaviour (and people behaviour!). I typically allow animals plenty of time to get used to me and never rush their process. I am a very gentle handler that prefers to allow my doggy clients to direct their own walks which often includes a lot of sniffing time to expend their energy and calm their mind. When necessary, I also offer more structured walks for dogs who need some extra guidance and engagement. I practice a balanced approach to animal handling.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and continuing education in animal-human connections. It was during this education that I learned the value of understanding the animal perspective of our relationships with them, further developing my empathy and compassion for the role they play in our lives. I am committed to allowing our pets as much freedom of choice as safely allows (my safety and theirs) as these little beings have their own thoughts, feelings and emotions just like we do!
In addition to servicing Toronto and Stouffville, I also offer my services across Canada and abroad.
I have pet first aid certification with Walks N' Waggs and I am insured and bonded with PROFur for your security.
