About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I could remember & I wouldn’t have it any other way. I currently have a small dog who I take on hikes & the dog park regularly so your pride & joy will be joining our wonderful adventures. When we are home, they will have 24/7 access to a gated backyard but if they prefer cuddle, that’s also available. Your pet will feel like just they’re home. I’m currently not working which means I have a lot of time to spend with your pet whether it’s going to the dog park, hanging out on the couch or going on a hike. My backyard is the perfect space for your pet to run around & play. I will respect your wishes in regards to the dos and don’t with your pet because I would want someone to respect my rules with my dog.

About: I have taken care of pets since the age of 10. I have experience with dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, as well as caring for my own dog and cats. I have experience training puppies. I love animals and will care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently a student and work part-time, which gives me some extra flexibility to spend time caring for pets! I love being outdoors, going for long walks, and enjoying playtime with pets. My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate different routines and needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I take the time to learn their routine, personality, preferences, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and other routines. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and keep things clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels happy and comfortable while you’re away.

“Jessica was a huge help when we needed a last minute walker for our 2 doggies. She was on time and was very kind to our boys. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home. I provide outdoor care with full supervision, using my fenced backyard and dog‑friendly indoor break spots.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly love animals. Being a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m familiar with the daily care, attention, exercise, and affection that pets need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to give your furry family member the same love and care! I am soon to be unemployed as my seasonal job is almost done, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available almost everyday with short notice and would love the chance to get to know your pet! At my home I have trained my dogs to stay on property as we do not have fences, they like the freedom and listen very well. I do have a lot of experience with pets on leashes as I once did live in town where I had to use the leash for walks and getting around.

“Emily was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of Addy. Everything went smoothly, and I could tell Addy was well looked after. I would definitely recommend her!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Emma. From the first walk, it was clear how much she cares about dogs. Rocky was immediately at ease with her, and I could tell he was in great hands. Emma is reliable, punctual, and always goes the extra mile to make sure Rocky gets the exercise, attention, and fun he needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog walker who’s not only professional but truly passionate about dogs!”

About: Since a young age, I have been exposed to dogs as my mother was a vet technician (now retired) in the Durham Region community. Since then, I have developed a love for dogs and I am always looking for an opportunity to spend time with dogs. From 2006 to present, I have been lucky enough to look after four dogs of my own that were really truly a member of the family and enjoyed looking after them. As a dog sitter, I am available to dog sit for those exciting vacations that you hope to take or simply walk your dog during those busy days at home or at work! For my availability, contact me for more information! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am currently working part time in the retail industry while in university full time, so my schedule may be different from time to time. My availability can be discussed to fit your pet’s needs! At my client’s home, I will always be there for your pet! When we aren’t taking a walk outside, I like to sit and relax with your pet with a book or watching television. If your pet wants to go outside, we will do that, play fetch or just spend time outside and enjoy the weather!

“It was love at first sight for our Akita, Moka, when she met Marilyn. Although generally friendly, Moka is typically aloof with new people. However it was like she’d known Marilyn for years when they met, and she clearly enjoyed their nature walks while we were away. Even though we are back, I’m thinking I’ll need to at least do a weekly walk, so that Moka can see her new best friend!”

“Elsa was flexible, responded quickly to my messages and was trustworthy in my home and with my dog. I would recommend Elsa and I plan on having her back to walk my dog soon!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for years and have owned dogs as a child and youth. I treat and respect them like my own. It's important to me that the owners feel they are leaving their pets in good hands and that their beloved animals will get loved on and taken care of well in their absence. I do my best to ensure the pets are comfortable and happy when they are in my care and go above and beyond to provide good service to my clients. I work for a company from home and am not tied down to my desk between certain hours. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation and can work my schedule around my pet clients needs. I have a fenced in yard and like taking walks regularly or spending time outside when possible. I have two sons who also are animal lovers but if your animals are not comfortable with children, accommodations can be made.
