“My first time using this app and I'm so impressed by her! I booked super late notice yet she got me in. My dog Queso loved her. She played with him inside and out, took him potty, and took AMAZING pictures with great feedback. She calmed my nerves with how amazing she is. I will deff be re booking her in the future. Very professional and even stayed later to ensure he got his full time! Thanks again!”
About: Dogs - I have owned a dog since I was little and there has rarely ever not been one in the house. Cats- I have owned cats before and also kittens as well. I have completed a full 2 credit Co op at the OSPCA when in high school. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I do have a full time job but I love to spend my time off caring for animals and getting to know new people and their pets :) I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly. I’ve had him since he was a pup and he’s high energy so we spend time on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks for treats. If I were to come to a clients home I am very respectful and will focus on your pet and make sure all their needs are met and are well looked after. Let me know of any routines to follow or just basic care and daily feeding schedules.
“Sarah was great and on short notice as well. My dog Petra seemed to really enjoy her company, they played and went for a walk. Sarah was a lifeline for me at the very last minute and I will definitely reach out to her again thank you, Sarah.”

About: I've taken care of my family's and my own dogs for more than a decade now, currently looking after two senior terriers of my own. I'm very patient and careful. I'm comfortable with senior dogs too, whether that means taking it easy on slow walks or administering medications. I am currently quite flexible day to day, which makes me well suited to visit with dogs whose owners are commuters for work, for example. At your home, I'll respect any boundaries or rules you have in place for safety and privacy. I'm quite cautious on walks (e.g., keeping your dog away from other dogs, if you instruct me to).
“Lauren has been amazing with our energetic lab puppy! Her communication before/during/after their visits was perfect, and I felt confident that our pup was in great hands while we were at work. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been looking after my own pets all my life, volunteered and fostered for a local cat shelter, and have also dog sat and walked for my friends and family. I teach Kindergarten, so during the school year I am available weekdays after 4pm and weekends anytime. In the summer, I am available weekdays anytime and limited times on the weekends. I am happy to walk your dog or cat on their own or if they want company, my very friendly chihuahua can join. I also have a pet stroller if your dog or cat would prefer a more relaxing, scenic walk.
About: I have hands on experience working in the boarding department of a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable following medication and special care routines, recognizing early signs of stress or illness, and maintaining high standards of safety and cleanliness. I combine professional experience with a genuine love for animals, treating every pet like my own while providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care owners can trust. I currently work part time so i am available through Monday-Friday and can potentially do some weekends aswell, please feel free to reach out anytime! In my clients’ homes, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to maintain consistency and comfort for your pet. I focus on safety, enrichment, positive interaction, and clear communication with owners to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I am an animal enthusiast who has always been attuned to the needs of animals. I have experience with mainly cats and dogs but honestly love all creatures. I have so much care that I would love to share and feel like helping others care for their animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am open to almost all schedules at this time. Reach out to me and we will figure out if I'm the right sitter for your pet. My dog is always leashed outside and I take her on multiple walks a day. I do have a fenced backyard as well. She is friendly with other dogs while boarding so I would not have any concerns. But if needed I do have the space to keep your pet separate/crated.
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since high school, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality. I also worked on a dairy farm for 10 years, where we always had dogs around (including five that hung out with us in the parlour!), so I’m super comfortable with animals. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m currently a student at Georgian College and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. Tuesdays are my only fully busy day, but I have availability at various times on all other days. I’m especially available during evenings and weekends, making it easy to fit walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting into my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. At my home, I have a fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, as well as plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax. I also have a friendly Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely. If a dog prefers their own space, I have a spare room where they can relax privately. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I prioritize safety, supervision, and lots of attention to make sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for.
About: I understand that it’s hard trusting a stranger with your pet but I promise to provide attentive care with clear communication so that my clients can depend on me! I really enjoy spending time with animals. :) Over the years, I grew up with many dogs and cats and have experience with a variety of breeds. Previously I have had a sheltie, cocker spaniel, husky, great pyrenees, bernese. In 2022, I adopted a loveable mixed breed dog from Mexico. I have been working alongside dog trainers for a couple years so have some handling experience and am very aware of dog body language (especially since my dog is fear-reactive). Currently, I’m learning canine first aid and CPR as well as effective défence tactics for worst case scenarios. I live a pretty active lifestyle and am happy strolling slowly or even jogging on a dog walk. Currently, my work schedule is very flexible. I have space for new clients. I take time to greet the dog, making sure their harness and leash are secured. We frequent many parks with little traffic to limit stress to the dog. I try to use all the same commands as the owners to ensure training consistency. Sometimes I teach my dog clients small tricks that help make our walks go smoothly.
“Genuinely amazing! Even takes on super last minute bookings and my dog is always so happy and relaxed after spending time with her! I will definitely be continuing to book with Morgan”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of reliability, energy, and genuine care I bring to every walk. I’m an active person happy to provide longer walks for dogs that need to burn more energy, I want you to feel confident knowing your dog is safe and well cared for under my care College student, I can wake up early for morning walks before class or evening walks generally after 5pm, free anytime during the weekend, and happy to help out during weekdays if my class is finished Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities with every pet I care for. I focus on creating a positive environment where pets feel secure, and cared, for. I pay attention to their behaviour , energy level, and individual needs, while providing safe walks, playtime, and updates so the owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: Animal lover looking to spend time with our furry friends. I have been looking after friends and family pets for years and don't have pets of my own currently but would love to get my animal fix by offering to care for your beloved pets/family. I have no training experience but will happily follow your instructions. I have looked after my parents senior Yorkie for extended periods of time as well. I work full-time but my schedule is rotating and flexible allowing a variety of availability. Some available times during the week, mornings, evenings and weekends. I have toys, a pet bed and food dishes for any visiting pets. I don't have a fenced in space but live close to the Ardagh bluffs with accessibility to a ton of walking trails

Jenna is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of my two cats. I’m always nervous to go away because my one cat has had some urinary medical emergencies in the past that are significantly worsened by stress. I booked Jenna to come twice a day to look after both and give medication and she took such good care of them. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She send me thorough updates with pictures and followed my instructions well. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands and feel so lucky to have found a gem of a sitter for my kitties! Thanks so much Jenna!
Amin took care of our cat for about 11 days. We were a bit worried at first since our cat doesn't take well to new faces, but he was able to get our little fur baby to warm up and took such good care of him, keeping us posted every day after the visit with notes and photos. Thank you for taking care of him :)
