About: I have had pets or been relied upon for taking care of my own pets for well over 20 years. Friends and family have counted on me to watch their pets when the opportunity has come up. I will treat your pup as my own. I am currently self employed and find most of my days either on the phone or computer at home with ample time to play with my six year old Beagle. Our pup is on a set feeding schedule and is left out of her crate pretty much 24-7. Our back door has a screen door that allows for easy access to the back yard. I have a fenced in backyard and our back door screen acts as a doggy door. Our six year old Beagle is friendly and will provide a companion for your pup. We can easily crate your dog upon request.

“We love Shannon! Both my dogs warmed up right away to her. She’s very flexible & great at communicating. Wouldn’t want anyone else to walk our pups!”

About: I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded! I just dropped down to part time at my current job, and will be working remotely outside of then. So, my schedule is much more open than it used to be. It allows me to spend more time at home with pets, walking, feeding, and all other care. I DO have to be able to leave for a few hours a day to do some chores (grocery shop, doctors appointments, and animal care as needed). I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!

P.s I am a mama of 2 and trying to work with limited babysitting so I may need to bring my kiddos on walks and check ins but I can assure you that it will not affect my ability to care for your pets. I am a stay at home mom so I am looking for that job where I can work around nap and bedtime. So Rover being able to work around nap and bedtime and Dr's appointments all while it being right up everything I know I figured would be perfect! Depending on the job I will do what ever is required and asked of me to do! Although i dont offer stays in my home

I follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddling preferences. I treat your home with respect and your pet with genuine love and attention, as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of play, exercise, and affection, along with any special care they might need (medications, training cues, etc.).

I had a dog all growing up and have dog sat for lots of my family and friends. I have given medication to sick dogs, I know when a dog seems to feel uncomfortable, I have gotten stuck sticks out of my dogs mouth, and I have done lots and lots of dog walking on dirt roads, city streets, and suburbs. I am able to spend a lot of time with the pets throughout the day as I am only working part time currently.

About: I have been dogsitting for family and friends for 10 years. I work full time as a veterinary technician/Veterinary nurse. I love animals big and small.

I have dogsat in the past. Some have had 1 dog to 5 dogs. I have watched dogs, cats, squirrels, chinchillas, and rabbits. I have a corgi, his name is Nugget and he is 3 years old. He gets along great with other dogs. So if your dog loves the company of other dogs, nugget could join in on the walks as well! I work three 12's but I am available Mondays, Thursday- Saturday! I do have a second job on the weekends and my own pets. So I would need to work around those priorities as well! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home but a clients home is perfectly fine!

If you like receiving updates and photos I will gladly do that for you as well. It’s always reassuring to know your baby is being taken care of.

About: I have two small dogs Sora and Kira. 11 years old and 12 years old who are friendly, loving , and spoiled girls. With a good balance of snackos and exercises to maintain proper body composition and not get too fat. Clean healthy water and food is so very important for your pets health and we go above and beyond to ensure the best for our pets and yours. I treat every animal as if it is our family member and make it as fun for them as possible. I currently own multiple businesses in Sarnia and have the luxury of working from home now, which gives me the opportunity to serve our community with more hours. I don’t have a traditional job and I can work remotely from my cell phone most of the time. We treat all animals with respect and courtesy, following the outline in which you lay out for care. I don’t smoke and being healthy is important for vitality and life for myself and all of our pets. We never want an animal to go without necessary care that they are accustomed to.

About: After trying to find a sitter for my own dog, I realized how expensive dog boarding was. So I wanted to offer people a cheaper alternative.

I am a stay at home mom so your fur baby would have constant care and companionship. I have a pretty open availability and am very flexible. I can provide care in my home or in yours. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and 8 year old, so if your dog isn't comfortable around children I would have to go to your home.
