Pet Sitting in Aylmer

“Very good with animals , our huskies liked her right away as if they’ve known her for years. Highly recommended! Showed up on time and asked all the right questions.”

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

“Lauren did a great job looking after my 3 cats while I was away! She sent an update and photos with each visit giving me peace of mind they were okay. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: Your dog’s (or cat's) new favourite human (besides you!) 🐾 Hi there! I’m an experienced dog walker with several years on Rover and a lifetime of loving animals. I grew up in a lively home full of cats and big dogs (yes, all at once!)—so chaos, fur, and fun are second nature to me. Currently living the quiet country life in beautiful Sparta with my barn cat sidekick, Domino, and my sweet indoor elder cat, Mazey, I get my dog fix by spending quality time with your pup! Whether it's a high-energy stroll, a calm companion walk, or a quiet sit, I bring a calm, confident energy and a whole lot of love. I'm familiar with many breeds and temperaments, and I pride myself on being a kind but assertive pack leader. Your dog’s or cat's safety, happiness, and tail-wagging satisfaction are my top priorities. Let’s hit the trail (or the living room couch), together—your best friend is in great hands! I am currently working casually, so my schedule is wide open during weekdays AND weekends :D I am even available to come twice a day. If needed, just ask! :) I work only within the Rover online/app platform, keep my schedule updated regularly for your convenience, and I will communicate with you in a quick, clear, concise, friendly and professional manner; always! Dependable care, right at home 🏡🐾 Whether your furry friend needs a comforting visit at home or a stroll around the neighbourhood, I’ve got you covered. I’m a respectful, tidy, and responsible house guest—you can trust that your home and your pet will be treated with the utmost care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine just the way you like it, and always approach animals with patience, kindness, and a calm, confident energy. I respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Safety is my #1 priority on walks, and I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and well-being. I show up on time, tend to their needs with love and attentiveness, and lock up securely when I leave (including crating if your dog has one)—ideally, you won’t even know I was there (unless you'd like photo updates, of course!). With me, your pet will be in gentle, capable hands—whether you're away for a few hours or a few days.

“Kaylee has done a great job coming in to let my dogs out to play and go to the washroom. She is very flexible with her clients and ensures that she meets what is asked during her visits. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have experience as a PSW and have assisted in training for service alongside my clients. I also have experience training fosters and adopted family members of all ages into the same homes. At home we have a particularly food driven and curious LabxShepherd. She came to us as a puppy, so I know what it takes to help the young ones become comfortable and loved in their homes as well-mannered and obedient members of the family. I currently work part-time during the school year as a student supervisor. This schedule allows me plenty of time in between the hours that I am at school with the children for walks and play dates, check-ins and short stays. I have a fenced in backyard that would be enormous for a small dog and is an adequate size for a large dog. I have a friendly LabxShepherd who is super playful and will keep your pet busy, and will sometimes have them tired by the end of the day. We have barriers in our home to keep our friends out of unsupervised areas. We also have a large crate available for those who require it. If care is needed in your home, I will do my utmost to adhere to all rules, feeding times, appointments and exercise schedules.

“Thank you so much, Sandra! What a great first experience for us. Our pets are happy and so are we with your wonderful service. Would do it again in a heartbeat!”

About: Hi! I am a dedicated dog lover with one well-behaved boy and a mischievous puppy of my own and I know firsthand how tough it can be to find reliable, quality care for your pets - especially with a busy schedule. That’s where I come in! I have experience with dogs of all ages and needs, including puppies, seniors, dogs with disabilities, and administering medications (oral and injections). I’m also familiar with handling reactive dogs on walks. If you’re comfortable with it, I can attach an AirTag to your dog’s collar during their stay and on walks for added security. I have a safe comfortable environment with a fenced-in yard where your dog can play and relax. I am currently interning with a dog trainer which means I can be gone for up to 4 hours at a time during the day. It’s usually only a couple days per week but due to this it’s important to me that your puppy is comfortable being home alone for a few hours. This means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether I am walking your dog or they are staying with me, your dog becomes part of my family. My house is dog-proofed, no unattended food or clothes that could be thought of as a fun toy. We allow our dogs on the furniture (after they respectfully sit and wait for permission), however, we will respect whatever rules you have in place. Safety is my number one priority which is why I like to have the dogs in my care to be equipped with an apple air tag (promptly removed when your pup is returned to your care) however, if that’s something you’re no comfortable with that’s no problem!

About: With a decade of hands-on experience working with animals, my days revolve around the delightful company of my dog, cat and horse. When I’m not at home hanging out with my pets, I’m at the barn where I am trusted to care for over a dozen horses (and a pig!). Through my time not only with my animals at home, but at the barn as well, I’ve cultivated a deep understanding of the diverse needs and personalities of our four-legged companions. As a cat, dog, and horse owner, as well as a trusted neighbourhood pet sitter, I understand the unique bond we share with our furry friends, as well as the importance creating an environment filled with love, care, and endless belly rubs in your absence! I look forward to meeting your adorable companions. I have a dog and a cat of my own that I adore and spend most of my time caring and tending to. That includes making sure they are being fed a healthy and balanced diet, that they get their exercise either through games at home or walks around the neighbourhood, and that they are happy and content! I also have a horse that I go to visit and exercise nearly everyday, and when I am not with my horse I am being trusted to care for the other 19 horses, a dog, three cats, and a pig. My duties include feeding each animals their respective meals, cleaning out each stall, filling up water pales, feeding them hay, turning them out to their fields, and completing any other duties given to me by any of the owners. It makes for a busy week, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! When I’m at home, I start the day by feeding my dog and cat their first meal of the day. After that, I let my dog outside, and make sure they both ate their food and that everything is normal. During the day, I will typically run around with my cat as he is still a kitten and has lots of energy! I will also take my dog for a walk around the neighbourhood as often as possible to make sure she is exercised and happy. At lunch, my kitten is usually sleeping, but my dog will get her lunch and then the day is pretty calm until they both get their dinner! When I’m at a clients house, I will feed, exercise, and care for each animals as directed to me. And, at the barn, my duties include feeding, watering, turning out each horse to their respective field, cleaning stalls, cleaning the floor, making their grained food, and finally bringing them back in for the night!

“Michele did a great job watching our dog! Shes very responsible and had 2 meet ups before making a decision that her and Tex was a fit. While we were gone, she stayed in contact and sent pictures and updated. Tex adores her and he is comfortable when she's in our home. Michele makes sure everything is cleaned up and is resourceful when shes not familiar with where items are. Michele is very trustworthy & caring, we highly recommend. We can tell that Tex has been well cared for and has been thoroughly spoilt by you. Thank you Michele”

“Sonya made coming home such a treasure. We had a long day and I was very defeated and I walked into our house and felt instantly the love of our dogs and the care to our home. I can't express enough how amazing Sonya is and made my day better just when I needed it. Thank you for being a miracle.”

About: While i never grew up around dogs, I actively babysit and care for my sister in laws dog. I will ocassionally house sit for them as well as ocassionaly cook healthy meals and treats for them. I currently work a fulltime job so my availability times throughout the week does fluctuate, however I will be able to accomodate with enough notice. On the weekends I take my dogs out for long hikes (our favourite is fingal wildlife management area!) or early morning beach trips during the warmer months. I have a spacious backyard for your dog to hangout,relax, and socialize with my two dogs. I have crates if needed, as well puzzles,slow feeders, lickmats,and other diy mental stimulation should your dog require it. Having a background in childcare, i also understand the importance of being able to see what your babies have been up to throughout the day so I will always try to send any photos of your fur babies to you so you know they are having a fun time and being well taken care of

“Our dogs love their time with Victoria! She is so kind and caring, always providing the best level of care! She always sends a text when shes on her way and updates after with pictures! Highly recommend”

About: I owned my first kitty, Sandy, at 7 years of age! My parents taught me how to care for her, feed her, love her and to clean her litter box! I adored this cat! As I got older, and had a family of my own, I rescued a beautiful female Calico named Kelly, and my two young daughters also learned how to care for her. Over the years, we had cats, dogs and horses, and my girls learned a lot about animal husbandry! I enjoy being with animals, and getting to know their individual personalities! I live alone now, and I cannot live without a cat. I enjoy being with them, and playing with them, while caring for them! I am trained to administer meds, and just love spending time with kitties! I am semi-retired, but I work a split shift on weekdays occasionally. l However, after Christmas, I will be free most days to drop by, and give care and attention to your pets! Currently, I am offering drop-in pet care services to your feline(s), but I should have more availability after Christmas! Can't wait to be of help to you, and your kitties, so you can have peace of mind while you are away!

About: Hi there! I’ve lived alongside animals my entire life, having grown up on a farm surrounded by livestock and creatures from all walks of life. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Currently, I share my home with two dogs, two cats, and a parrot, so I understand just how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your beloved companions. I’m also experienced in administering medication if your pet needs a little extra support. I have a reasonably flexible schedule and, as of now, am happy to provide drop-in visits and dog walking services in and around Aylmer. I would love to meet your furry family members and help keep their tails wagging while you’re away! My work schedule is a repeating two-week continental shift, so my availability varies each week. Generally, I work two to three days in a row and then have two to three days off. This means I have several weekdays and weekends available throughout the month. Because of this rotating schedule, I’m often available on weekdays when others aren’t, and I can be flexible to meet your pet care needs. Feel free to message me with your dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I have a large fenced front porch, two friendly dogs and two mellow cats (and a slightly neurotic parrot - yes, he does talk!). No fenced yard but I take my pups on a good run every day, whether that's to the dog park, the dog beach, or on a nice bicycle cruise around town.

About: I have been looking after my own dogs for about 10 years and love animals. I started to do it just for fun because I love it but now am looking for a little more money in my pocket. I will gladly go to your home to look after your dog or cat and prefer if it is in st. Thomas and close by because I don’t drive. I have my own German shepherd puppy who is 8 months old. I don’t have insurance or animal first aid but I will take really good care of your pet. Please consider me as a pet sitter. I can also stay overnight in your home if you don’t want your dogs being lonely or I can just come in to check on them. I am very flexible

“Jen is beyond WONDERFUL! Can't ask for a more caring, kind and loving person to look after our fur baby when we are away. Our fur baby is ALWAYS happy to see Jen and that puts us at ease. We love having Jen as apart of our family. ?”

About: 8 years of experience in pet care and dog walking with my own dogs, I would love to have the opportunity to share my love for dogs with your furry friends.

I have always enjoyed the company and unconditional love dogs give. I would love to meet your furry family member and discuss how I can help care for your canine companion! As a responsible dog owner myself I have a strong understanding of the importance of physical activity for all breeds. Being familiar with large breed dogs I will work with your needs and expectations. I am always seeking new hiking trails and adventures! I am always willing to accommodate specific needs of every dog. I am also empathetic to leash reactivity and have a strong understanding of individual needs so I am capable of planning walks around your dogs temperament. Both my dogs have a strict feeding schedule and I value the importance of structure and routine for all canines.
