About: I’ve owned golden retrievers my entire life! We currently have 2 seniors pup who require a bit more love these days. I am more than willing to love your fur babies like they are my own! I’m available weekday mornings for walks and weekends, including Thursdays and Fridays for sitting! I can make myself available other other times, given enough notice! I am able adapt to whatever your pet needs. I have experience with reactive pups so if that means they need to be in a crate, I can do that as well. I am also a huge lover of the outdoors so no matter what the weather is I’m prepared for your pup.
About: Spending time with animals is like therapy to me—I truly cherish it. Whether it’s playing games, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I love building a bond with every pet. I approach them with patience and kindness, because I believe every animal has a unique personality and needs. You can trust that your furry friends will feel safe, loved, and happy with me. Their comfort is my priority, and their joy brings me peace. Friday, Saturday and Sundays work perfectly for me. I would love nothing more than to spend those days making your pets happy and safely next to me I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also respect each pet’s personality and any special instructions from the owner to keep them happy, relaxed, and safe at all times.
“Great communication! Breanna was very kind and our dog took to her right away. We came back and he was happy and calm. She made us both feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was patient and listened to any training or guidelines we had set out. Highly recommend and will book again!”

“Our boy Max couldn't have been in better hands with Steph!! She sent us so many pictures of him smiling and having the best walks! We didn't worry at all knowing Max was here with Steph! Can't recommend her enough!♥️?”

“Gwenyth took great care of our aging dog! She has stayed in our home for a few weekends at this point. Everything has gone smoothly and each time we have returned home to a happy dog and everything back in its place.”

“Jordan was very accommodating. Skye had him wrapped around her paw! She had a very lazy weekend, very spa like. Butt rubs on demand. She can be pushed to do her walks in the morning, treats will motivate her! Thanks Jordan”

“Nicole did an amazing job with my pups in our home for the 5 days we were away She stayed in touch, asked questions if she was unsure and really took the time to get to know them, their routines and their care. Great job Nicole! We hope to see you again soon for our next adventure.”

About: I have worked with animals for 15 years and owned them all my life, i owned a dog walking company in Toronto, and have boarded, sat, walked, rescued and saved all types of breeds over the years, and completely understand the importance of quality pet care I currently work part time and and keen to get back to working with animals after being over seas, I am open to discussing any requirements and happy to answer any questions. I treat mine like they are my children, and when at your home I will follow the rules and make sure they are as comfortable as possible whilst you’re away
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Starting out with a dog and a bird, then cats and a turtle and fish. Currently I have 2 Persian cats and a golden retriever. I love walking, hikes and exploring nature. I am happy to watch over your fur babies and meet new fur-iends! I own a house cleaning business, so my schedule is flexible to make time for drop ins, walks, and over night stays for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever to run around with and keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have 2 quiet lazy Persian cats that sleep all day.
About: I grew up in a cat household, along with other smaller pets, but love all animals. I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbour's pets of all kinds including, dogs, cat, rabbits, turtles, even rats, and more! I am very athletic and enjoy going on walks, etc. I am home from school for the summer and just working part-time, looking for extra work, so I have plenty of time to visit and care for your pets! I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for a doggo to run around and love going on walks, so it would be nice with a dog or playing with cats, etc.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been natural to me. In Canada, I’ve provided in-home boarding, overnight stays at clients’ homes, and drop-in visits for feeding and walks. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am based in Leamington. For overnight stays, location within nearby areas (Windsor, Kingsville, Chatham, etc.) is not a problem — I can pick up and drop off your dog, or you’re welcome to bring them to me. My availability is primarily focused on overnight care. On weekdays, I am out from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. However, I work just 2 minutes from home and can stop by during the day for two breaks — one 1-hour visit and one 30-minute visit. Some clients provide a camera for monitoring, which I’m happy to install so I can keep an eye on your pet while at work. If I notice anything unusual, I can quickly go home to check without any issue. On weekends, I am usually home. I may step out briefly for groceries or a workout (typically no more than 2 hours at a time). For non-overnight services (feeding and walks), availability depends on location and number of visits needed. • In Leamington or within 20 minutes, I can visit twice daily (morning and evening). • For locations 45–50 minutes away (Windsor, Chatham, etc.), weekday visits are available after 5:30 PM, and weekends allow for more flexibility and multiple visits. I live in a small, cozy apartment, which creates a calm and intimate environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. Because I live alone, your pet receives my full attention and care. As long as they are clean and well-groomed, they’re welcome to join me on the couch — and even sleep in the bed if that’s part of their usual routine. I always prioritize maintaining their normal habits to help them feel secure and at home.
About: I became a proud "dog grandpa" to my daughters dog and I quickly fell in love with caring for him. The joy he brought to my life inspired me to get a dog of my own. It's been a fun journey training him while learning my arms is more sore from playing fetch than hockey! I am retired and home most of the time. Having a dog of my own requires me to plan my time around his schedule so your dogs routine would fit right in. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of grass. I live in a quite safe neighborhood. Lots of great walking routes like around Willistead Park or down along the water.
About: I have been around dogs since I was very little. I am aware that they need as much love as a human being. I know perfectly how to take care of them💙🐶 I work from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, but my husband works from home during the day. We’ve been together for over 15 years, and he’s been around dogs his whole life. Both of us truly love pets and have cared for them nearly our entire lives. We understand how to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I live in a 3 bedroom house with an awesome lakeview, there’s plenty space here where your dog can be comfortable and happy. The neighborhood is great for nice walks 😊.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’ve grown up around pets and have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends and family. I live in a detached house Cambridge with a large completely fenced back yard. Your dogs can run around, play with sticks and have lots of fun. I stay at home all day and spend time with dog. I assure that your dogs won't just stay in a room by themselves. Rather, they will be loved with all the hugs and belly rubs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always willing to follow specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine stays the same. I also make sure to give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. While I’m still gaining experience, I make up for it with genuine care, strong communication, and a commitment to treating every pet like my own. Daily Routine: Morning: Feeding (breakfast) Fresh water Short walk Afternoon: Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday potty break Training or enrichment activities (like puzzle toys or commands) Evening: Feeding (dinner) Final walk Grooming or cuddling time Wind-down and check-in before bed Lots of Love , Hugs and Kisses throughout the day Weekly Routine: Cleaning bedding, toys, and bowls Restocking food, litter, or other supplies Vet visits (if needed) or medication check-ins Socialization (visits to parks, playdates) In-Home Pet Sitting (Client’s Home): I maintain the pet’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule to minimize stress. I make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I provide updates (photos/videos) to the owner daily. I spend quality time playing, and engaging with the pet to keep them happy and mentally stimulated. Pet Care in My Home: I prepare a designated pet-friendly space with cozy bedding, toys, and access to food and water. I do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure the pet feels comfortable and to introduce them to the environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including diet, and activity level. I maintain a calm and structured atmosphere to help pets feel secure during their stay. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
About: One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very experienced with pets and have a lot of great reviews from satisfied customers. Im also very affordable and provide excellent care for pets I set aside specific times each day to take care of your pets, such as feeding them in the morning and evening or taking them for a walk in the afternoon. By making sure that they have plenty of space for them to play and relax, as well as plenty of food and water. Providing them with plenty of attention and love, as pets can get lonely when they're away from their owners. Following instructions carefully and providing the pets with the same level of care that they would receive from their owner.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and started taking full responsibility for my own pets as a teenager. As a teenager, I also worked at a dog kennel, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’ve continued to care for my own dogs and cats as an adult, which has deepened my love, patience, and understanding of animals. I began professional pet sitting last year, gaining experience following routines, giving medication, and paying close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily and weekly routine, as I have flexible availability. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and can travel within Chatham, nearby towns, and as far as Toronto with advance notice. For farther-distance travel, I kindly ask that travel expenses be covered. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or playtime. I pay close attention to behaviors, respecting when pets want cuddles, attention, or space. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats throughout their lives, including helping with births, and have experience following directions for pets in others’ homes. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet.
