Our care team
Sidekick stays deliberately small. Everyone is an employee, never a gig contractor, trained in positive-reinforcement handling and certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. Your backup is introduced, and the names below mean something after the first week.
Founder + behaviour lead
CCPDT-KA trainer and Fear-Free Certified Professional with 11 years of temperament work, first as a shelter adoption behaviour coordinator. High-energy adolescents and friendly pullers learning to move calmly beside other dogs.
Ask Avery about: first pack introductions and route fit.
Senior + solo-walk lead
Fear-Free certified, Pet First Aid & CPR trained, with six years of walking and defensive lead handling. Shy rescues, reactive dogs on quiet routes, and seniors who need a harness lift on the porch steps.
Ask Jules about: mobility changes and home routines.
Daycare lead
PACCC Certified Pet Care Provider and Pet First Aid & CPR instructor with seven years in daycare. Group transitions, play-style matching, puppies learning to pause, and dogs who love company but need breaks.
Ask Samira about: first-day introductions and rest.
Named backup
Holidays, illness, and traffic happen. A backup visit should never begin with a stranger at the door, so the backup walker joins one regular outing first.
It is a 30-minute walk and routine check. We ask what your dog does when excited, worried, tired, or surprised—and you see how we hold the leash.
