“Melissa was wonderful while she stayed at our home. She sent updates throughout her stay and when we got back our dogs were not stressed and happy!”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had loving but sassy golden retriever, she was so nurturing and maternal we nicknamed her Nanny Girl. She always groomed and watched over us kids but also our cats lol! I then was blessed to spend 12 wonderfully sweet years with my black lab. He was such a spunky, funny pup and grew into the sweetest, most gentle little old man. I miss him terribly, but I am not quite ready to get another dog. I frequently dog/cat sit for family and friends and I still have boxes of toys left for your pup to play with. I remember the stress and worry of leaving your fur baby behind and in the care of someone else when going on vacation. I can promise you that I will love and spoil your fur baby as if they were my own. I work from home full time so I will be with your dog all day (with the exception of a possible quick errand). I can accommodate any needs that your dog has. If they are high energy I am very familiar with lots of parks, trails and dog parks in the area to run and play and get all that energy out. If they have slowed down a bit I have a comfy couch and lots of blankets to snuggle up with and toys to play at their pace with. I work remotely, so I am able to be with your pet all day. We can go out for walks frequently or if medication needs to be administered throughout the day I am available to do that. I am very clean and am overly cautious when taking pups outside. I always make sure they are on their leash securely and stay alert for things going on around us.

“This is our third time having Ashley watch our doggie. As in the past, she was great with updates and pictures. We feel very comfortable with her care towards him and with her being in our home. Will definitely be having her over to watch Trooper again!!”


“Amber provided great service and communication! Our mímala adores her!”


“Gabby is Great. She has stayed with my pup at my home several times this year, while I travel for work. She always takes great care of him. Lots of snuggling, play time, and she’s great about sending me updates. I trust her with my pup and my house, which is a huge relief while I’m away. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone.”


“Elena asked if her husband could stay over with her and we were happy to have them both. They were so amazing with Mordi. They stayed at our house for four nights, sent us pictures every morning without asking, and updates all throughout the day so we could see how he was doing. They were so responsive. Never had any kind of issue. Very happy to have had them there and would be very happy to have them come again. Absolutely recommend them. Thank you!! ?”


“I highly recommend Joshua to anyone. He took very good care of my two fur babies. He cleaned up after them. One of my babies is just 7 months ,but he managed to keep up with her. I loved that he sent pictures of them and kept in contact throughout the days. My babies were very happy to have him there. Will definitely be having him watch them again! ?”


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: I have volunteered and worked over 10 years with an animal rescue. I have a lot of experience with different dog breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one dog, a 9year old lab/heeler mix. She is friendly and loves to meet new friends! I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!

About: I’m 23 years old and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve cared for my own pets since I was young and have also helped neighbors with their pets when needed. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I always make sure pets feel loved and cared for. Animals naturally trust me, and I treat every pet like family—gentle, patient, and full of love. I’m currently not working and only taking a few classes online, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. Your pet will get lots of love, attention, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced yard, one sweet dog, and three friendly cats. Your pet will be in a safe and welcoming home with animal companions and plenty of love. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, crate if needed, and make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and cared for.

About: I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to daily walks and snuggles, I’ve got it covered. Let’s keep those tails wagging and whiskers purring! I pride myself in being flexible for you! , I pride myself on being flexible—whether it’s a last-minute walk, a weekend getaway, or a change in routine, I’m here to make things easier for both you and your pet. Of course! Here’s a thoughtful and reassuring answer to “How will you care for my pet in my home?”: --- When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are comfort, safety, and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. 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 also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in great hands—even when you’re away. (

About: I’ve owned dogs since age 13. I don’t currently have any ATM. But trying to get my doggy fix. Dogs are wonderful. I’m blessed to be able to have an opportunity to possibly love on your doggies. Due to physical reasons I’m not able ti walk to dogs but able ti let them out. I currently work full time but I’m fully remote. So my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to come to your home to watch your dogs. Due to physical limitations, I am unable to walk your dogs. But I have 15 years experience with dogs, and I absolutely love animals. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced in yard. Your dog and I would be more comfortable at your house. But if that’s not an option I will make exceptions for coming to my home.

“Great pet sitter. Gianni stayed over at our place while we were out of town. He took great care of the dogs, kept our place clean, and updated us as often as necessary. Will book again!”


“Looking forward to my next trip. Thanks for spoiling master Bruno!!”

About: A little about me...mom of two young adults and 2 fur babies. I’m an animal lover through and through. I have been a pet owner, dogs primarily, since the age of 5. I’m reputable, clean, fun and full of love for the four legged friends. I live in Port Huron Twp. I am fairly calm but always actionable. I have a perfect driving record. I have cared for a number of pets in my years, including my own. I believe life wouldn’t be as enjoyable without dogs or other pets. I own a Newfie and a Pom. They bring light to our lives. Each of them have their own personalities and spunk. Schedules can be flexible but ideally pets are fed in the morning and eve. I offers snacks/treats if approved by the owner. Animals go to bed when we do which is typically around 9pm. We wake early and that means our guests do too. Naps are always an option. Lastly, an activity(s) are planned daily like walks, lick mats, games and on and on. We cater to your pets needs. We have a number of systems set up to keep everyone safe and yet have a great time. We offer special toys, bowls, beds, etc.

“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, gaining responsibility and accountability for their needs and making sure they are in a loved home. I’ve also have watched other friends, family and roommates pets as well. I have a little one of my own that I’ve bonded with for 4 years!! I’m in the process of switching jobs so I should have open availability for the whole week! When my new job takes place I should have a better idea but I’m open all week for now! My apartment is pet friendly, I’m not far from a dog park and love to go on trails so your furry friend will be able to get the exercise they need! I pay extra attention to their emotional and physical needs to make sure they are taken care of!

About: Hello, Im 18 years old, and just recently graduated hugh school. I am looking for a fun way to make money before I leave for college! Ive grown up taking care of dogs, and been around dogs since I was born. Ive always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks and watching them whenever needed. I cannot watch the dogs at my house, because my own dog isn’t friendly to other dogs, but i would be willing to come to you and dog sit/watch your dog whenever I am available to do so! I work in the mornings, but I am willing to get up early to let the dog out, and after work I would love to walk dogs! I also love working out, so taking your dog for a walk/run will fit perfectly with my schedule. I have a dog of my own, and I love teaching her new tricks and just taking care of her. If your dog doesn’t know very many tricks I would be willing to teach them simple things like sit and shake. I am available to walk your dogs as well!

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 will be working three 12 hour shifts, so I will have 4 days off each week. The days that I work will change from week to week. So just get a hold of me and we can work something out schedule wise. 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! I do require meeting you and your pets prior to staying and require any behavior or aggression issues to be known.

“Melissa was wonderful while she stayed at our home. She sent updates throughout her stay and when we got back our dogs were not stressed and happy!”


Bonnie S.

“Bonnie watched our very energetic, 6 month old, puppy for 10 days last summer. She took such good care of her, walked her twice a day, played with her in the yard, snuggled - as much as you can with a puppy with those sharp teeth:) and basically was a great dog mom while we were gone. Bonnie is a very happy and kind person which carried over to her care of our puppy. I observed her being gentle but firm when interacting with our puppy as well as my daughter's dog and could see that she genuinely loves animals. Upon our return I could tell our puppy missed all the love and attention she was given. Bonnie spent a lot of time with our puppy and took great care of her. I would highly recommend her to be your dog's caregiver!”
