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've been caring for dogs and cats since I was five years old, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, walking, bathing, and both potty and crate training. I’ve also helped with basic obedience training and understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets, knowing I treat every animal as if they were my own. I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m dependable, gentle, and genuinely love spending time with animals—whether its going for a walk, a nice brush, or just relaxing together. I currently work remote, so have a lot of flexibility to board at my home and attend to your pets needs throughout their stay or visit your home and take care of walks, potty breaks, play time, and grooming. I have a fully fenced yard in my townhouse so dogs can enjoy safe, supervised time outside. Inside, pets are welcome to enjoy furniture, yes, that includes the couch. I keep my space clean and pet-friendly and free of hazards. When I care for pets in a clients home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines and respect their habits and space. I'm mindful and tidy and make sure pets have access to fresh water and clean litter boxes, and lots of attention. My focus is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.


About: I have worked with dogs of all kinds for 10+ years. I am a stay at home mom right now who is looking to enjoy some time outside the home and care for your 4 legged babes! It's been a dream of mine to start my own doggy business and finally have the freedom to make that dream come true! I love all dogs and will love yours just as much as I love mine! I have 2 small ones at home but have tons of experience with the big ones too! I can help you get them to any appointments they have or just have a visit while you are at work for the day! Can't wait to meet some new friends big and small! I have flexibility in my schedule, so I'm confident I can work with you and find the right time and service to fit your needs. Services will be at your home. If your dog is ok in the car, we can go on adventures. I will treat your house like my own!

“Thank you for being THE best with Gemma and us. We appreciate all that you do.”


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. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). It would be an honour to be able to spend some time taking care of your pet and showing them some love. Thankyou for the opportunity to build my experiences and take more steps towards my career. 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 has definetly helped me understand dogs more. I take my dog on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks. I love to spend time with my animals

“Estefania was simply amazing with my cat. I have no words to express how comfortable I was leaving my pet under her supervision. She played him him, became friends with him, made sure he was fed well and on time. It was the first time we left him for so long and we came back to a very Happy baby. She was able to handle an emergency situation when my cat started behaving naughty and almost put himself in a dangerous situation. I would love to have her again whenever my Munchkin needs the best care. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their fur babies in good care. Thank you so much Estefania!”


About: Growing up with a dog and helping neighbors care for theirs, I gained hands-on experience in daily pet care, including feeding, walking, grooming, and providing companionship. These experiences taught me how to meet a dog's needs and recognize signs of distress, ensuring their well-being. I am a stay at home wife so I am available all day to take care of your fur babies and keep them company all the time when I am home! I’m a dedicated dog sitter with a home that features a spacious, fenced yard, perfect for your dog to play and relax in a safe environment. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, I offer a secure and loving place for your pet while you're away. With years of experience caring for dogs, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a comfortable stay. Your furry friend will feel right at home here!
About: Active pet parent who will take your dog on an off or on-leash hike for over an hour. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’m currently a proud dog and cat mom. My dog, Oscar is a trained CAP dog who works with kids in schools to emotionally support students. I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs; letting them out if they are running late from work or taking them for walks with my dog. I have a Furbo camera that I subscribe to so I can check in on my pets and give them treats even when I’m at work. My dog is a large breed who loves to swim so you can find us out on a walk or hike in the woods off-leash at least twice a day. A couple of our favourite spots are Simcoe Forests and Copeland. Fitting in dog walking would be very simple, both on or off leash. At home, regular pet care is important. This includes training, flea and tick meds and grooming etc… but most importantly lots of couch cuddles. Food, water, cuddles, play? I’ll admit I probably give my dog way too many treats. My pets are cared for regularly but the main thing is loved. I have a large fenced in yard which help make playing catch easier.

“Melissa is such a kind and responsive pet caregiver! She went out of her way to accommodate the needs of my very senior cats and provided me with timely and detailed information about her visit. She will be an ongoing care provider for my "boys", and I am deeply grateful.”


About: “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I live in an open concept apartment downtown Barrie along the waterfront! I love going for walks, hikes, and overall moving! I love all pets big and small and would be thrilled to take care of your furry family member! I live alone, so will get all the attention and walks needed and more! I work during the week but will talk about flexibility and my work schedule when needed I have one staircase that leads to my apartment and neighbours that have other pets. Might hear a few barks. Plenty of space for relaxing and play time.

“Vanessa was wonderful, great communication and care!”


“Our experience with Jenna looking after our two senior dogs was excellent and we look forward to having her back again. They loved her immediately and her calm and kind demeanour was exactly what they needed. Communication with her was polite, professional and timely. She is very eager to provide the best of care. Thank you Jenna!”


“Jade was so incredibly patient with our little guy! He is very nervous/skiddish so it’s not always easy to approach him. Not that he’s aggressive or anything just very stand-offish. She gently coaxed him into his harness and gave him time to warm up to her. She successfully got him out on his walk! Which is a miracle, most of our family members can barely manage as much. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, safe, happy and taken care of ❤️❤️❤️ We’re so appreciative that the first time we left him with anyone that it was Jade! She is the puppy whisperer!”

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!
