Lisette has been such a great help our anxious dog. She walks her on a weekly basis and has established a relationship with our dog who is always skeptical of anyone who isn't immediate family. Lisette is highly communicative - she always lets us know about anything out of the ordinary, she's very responsive, flexible, and has almost always been available in a pinch. Thanks Lisette!

Emily walked Raffi and fed him while we were away for the day and evening. She arrived on time, he went on a good walk and she fed him as instructed. I knew she was going to be great from our first visit when Raffi immediately sat beside her and put his head on her lap. We came home and he was relaxed and happy. Would highly recommend Emily and will use her again.

About: Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn (but you can call me Kate!) 😊 Reliable, routine focused care with lots of updates (and cute photos, of course). I’m a lifelong dog lover and have a 10 year old puggle named Jude (named after Hey Jude!), so I really understand how important it is to trust the person coming into your home and caring for your pet. I mainly focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, especially for busy schedules where you just need someone reliable to show up and take care of things. Whether it’s a morning walk, a quick check in, or just giving your dog some attention, company, and playtime, I’m happy to adjust to what they need. I’ve spent years around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to keep things calm, consistent, and stress free for them. I’m very dependable, so you can count on me to be on time and take great care of your pet every visit. I love a good photo op, so I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going! A bit about me & my availability: • Monday–Friday mornings (early morning–12pm) • Weekends by request • Non-smoker • Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and basic medication I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) and see if it’s a good fit 🤍 I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll always take care of them like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work afternoons, so I’m available weekday mornings (early morning–12pm), which allows me to consistently offer walks and drop-in visits while people are at work. I start my day walking my own dog, so adding in walks and check-ins for your pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also available on weekends by request. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, water, walks, and any specific needs your pet may have. I take a calm, attentive approach and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and secure before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home... making sure doors are locked, things are left as I found them, and everything is in order. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos after each visit so you always know how things are going. I treat every pet and home with the same care I would my own.

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.

We scheduled Mary last week to walk our dog Boots who can be a bit skiiddish when it comes to loud noises. She really took the time to listen and understand any challenges which comes from experience. This made us feel comfortable and we would recommend Mary for anyone looking for help with their pet care needs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog until I was about 10 (literally grew up with him, he was 1 years old when I was born, he was my bestie) and then my parents got another dog when I was 20. They always trusted me to take care of our dogs when they went on vacation, had to stay at work late etc. A few months ago my brother lived with me and his dog (pictured in my profile pic) joined us. He works long hours so I spent a lot of time with her and took care of her when he wasn’t around. I have always been around bigger dogs, but I love all sizes of dogs all the same. I have never met a dog I don’t like and vice versa! I love to go on walks to having a walking buddy would be a bonus! I’m easy going and I have a car so I can be pretty accommodating. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I won’t be able to offer cat services. I’m an open book, so ask away :) I work 4 days out of the week, so I have 3 full days free! I also work overnights so I can definitely accommodate dog walking during the day on the days I work. I work Sunday - Wednesday Days off: Thursday - Saturday Anything your pets needs, I got them. I know meeting new people can be stressful for some pets but I have a calm demeanour and I don’t rush to befriend dogs. I am good at reading dog’s body language and if I can tell they are stressed I’ll let them come to me on their own time. Always strapped with some treats to help build that bridge, but I can assure you once I gain your pets trust, I’ll be their best friend! As for boarding service they rule the palace, whether it’s your home or mine. If there are certain rules inside your home those would be followed, as for my house there are no rules. Dogs allowed on the furniture/bed and if they want to go on 5 walks? We are going on 5 walks lol.

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 since I was 8 years old, growing up with both a dog and a cat that I helped raise from 8 weeks old all the way through their senior years. This gave me hands-on experience with every life stage — from puppy and kitten energy to the extra patience, attention, and care needed as pets age. I’ve handled daily feeding, walks, litter care, grooming, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me to pet sit for them, whether for walks, drop-in visits, or staying with their pets while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and always careful to follow instructions closely, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing safety, comfort, and lots of affection. As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule. I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available in the afternoons and evenings. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays. I prioritize consistency and can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication directions, and any specific house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I keep a calm, clean environment and provide regular updates with photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I treat your home with respect and your pet like family.
