About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from my own pets to the cats I’ve fostered. Over the past five years, I’ve also walked dogs, boarded pets and pet sat for others. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m always up for a walk or hike if your dog would like to come along. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep up the training cues you use at home and send you updates while they’re with me. I’m happy to take them to the dog park too, if that’s something they enjoy. 🐾 I love dogs and genuinely enjoy getting outside, so walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m happy to help with regular walks or occasional visits, and I can adjust the pace and length to suit your dog’s age and energy level. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you leave, including their leash habits and training cues. I’m happy to keep up the training you’re working on during walks and visits. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and will send photos and a quick update afterward.

About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!

About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.

About: I’ve been lucky to be the favourite “uncle” to four amazing dogs over the years: two playful Black Labs and two lovable Rhodesian Ridgebacks, along with plenty of experience caring for puppies and dogs of all sizes. Being around dogs has always been something I genuinely love, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and lots of playtime, needs extra patience while adjusting to a new routine, or simply wants some companionship and attention, I’m happy to provide care that makes them feel comfortable and happy. I take the time to get to know each dog individually and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry friend with someone else, which is why I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away. Your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule as I'm studying part-time in graduate school for psychotherapy from home throughout the week, which gives me plenty of time to devote to pet care. Living in a house with lots of space, I'm able to give your dog the attention and exercise they need while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or just some cozy downtime, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule! When caring for your pet, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their environment. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care is a big responsibility, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have, whether that includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, or their favourite ways to relax. Communication is extremely important to me, which is why I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with the same respect, patience, and attention to detail that I would expect for my own.

His genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, creating a positive and joyful experience for my pet. It's evident he prioritizes the well-being and happiness of the dogs in his care. Communication is seamless, and I appreciate the regular updates and cute snapshots sent during walks. It's evident that Arjun goes the extra mile to ensure not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation for Casper(our dog).”

About: I’m a friendly, attentive pet sitter with 40 years of pet care experience and Canadian Red Cross First Aid for Dogs & Cats training. I provide thoughtful, reliable care for cats, dogs, and other common household pets, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions. I’m especially patient with shy pets and attentive to the needs of senior animals who may need a quieter approach or extra care and monitoring. I’m also comfortable administering medications in food or pill pockets, as well as injections for calm, cooperative pets that are comfortable being handled. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to work around each pet’s usual routine and comfort level. I work remotely during house sittings, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with pets throughout the day and evening while still balancing occasional drop-in visits and appointments 😊 During drop-in visits and house sittings, I make pet safety and home security a priority. I’m mindful of doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes to help prevent pets from slipping out or becoming unsafe during care and walks. I carefully follow household routines and instructions, keep feeding and medication schedules consistent, and always do my best to leave your home tidy and well cared for. For safety reasons, I’m unable to care for pets with contagious illnesses or pets that display aggressive behaviour such as snapping, biting, or persistent nipping toward people or other animals. I do not provide pet care in my own home. All services take place in the client’s home environment so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar space and routine 🐾

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical or special care needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special diets, maintaining routines, and caring for pets recovering from illness or surgery. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust, reduce stress, and make each visit a positive experience. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I’m available every weekend and also offer weekday visits by request, depending on my schedule. I carefully plan my bookings so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I strive to be punctual, reliable, and consistent with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I primarily provide pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and monitor for any changes in behaviour or health. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Home boarding may also be available by request for compatible pets after a meet-and-greet, depending on the pet’s temperament, needs, and availability.

About: I grew up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I currently have my own 8-month-old pup, which means I’m actively navigating puppy energy, training, and socialization firsthand. I understand how much attention and patience young pets need, and I bring that same care to every animal I look after. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my schedule. I keep a consistent daily routine, so your pet would fit right in. I’m flexible and available for check-ins, walks, or boarding, since I’m rarely away from home for long stretches. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space, and I pay close attention to introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have.
