Roma absolutely loves Doris! Very reliable sitter and always on time, if she needs to push the walk to a later time (only been half an hour for me) she’ll let you know before you book! We love Doris and have rebooked multiple times. I recommend Doris to everyone! Thank you for caring and loving Roma like your own!

About: I have hands on experience with daily dog walks and drop in visits, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and leash walks. I'm comfortable following specific routines and instructions and always make sure pets feel calm and cared for during each visit. I can also send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I work about 25-30 hours at a spa. I have Sunday and Monday's off, half of Saturdays and can always do before or after work. During drop in visits, I focus on safety, routine and comfort. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime or walks, and make sure pets feel calm and cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a devoted cat mom with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for my own kitty, plus experience caring for friends’ dogs. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with cats of all personalities. I’ve spent time around horses as well, which has deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and care. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals. I want to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I’m used to structured feeding times, play sessions, and keeping a clean, calm environment. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, so caring for animals is something I enjoy make time for each week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets in my care receive consistent attention and aren’t rushed. I care for every pet as if they were my own. That means keeping their environment clean, maintaining their usual routine, and giving them focused, unrushed attention. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels, which I’ve developed through caring for my own cat and volunteering at a shelter. My experience around horses has also taught me the importance of calm energy, consistency, and reading animal behavior carefully.

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.

About: Hi there! I am a fun, outgoing, friendly, dog lover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry ones! Pet care has become my favorite thing to do. Sadly, I don’t have any pet's but that gives me the opportunity to show your pet soo much more love! I love to care for all kinds of pets and their owners. I am willing to drop everything to ensure your peace of mind when you need me. I have a slight preference for older doggies but all animals of all ages and breeds receive the same care from me. I make sure your pets are brushed and clean and keep up with home care. That includes your plant babies so make sure you point them out during meet and greets! I follow Cesar’s Way! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I make my clients and their pups my priority. I make sure that nothing else is planned for my day other than taking care your pets. I am rarely turn down a request! I absolutely love caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes! It really helps them feel relaxed and happy in their own space. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Many clients have welcomed me into their homes while they were away, and I promise you’ll feel safe and comfortable with me too. I’m a friendly, tidy person who prioritizes the safety of your pets and home. My own home is a warm and organized environment, and I make sure it's a safe place for anyone who visits (though I’m currently not able to accept pets in my home). I always take my time to get to know new spaces. During our meet and greet, I’ll go over a handy checklist of questions to make sure I have everything covered. If anything comes up, I won’t hesitate to bring it up or send you a message. I love to get a detailed picture of a “day in the life” of your pets so I can stick closely to their routine. Your security is super important to me, so I’ll keep all your details private and ensure no one enters your home without prior discussion—except, of course, for the occasional food delivery! 😄

I am very pleased with Morgan. The dogs already know when she is about to come and take them for their walk. She seems to have a specific way she speaks to them, that makes them calm enough to enjoy their walk. I would highly recommend Morgan.

About: I have always had a love for dogs and that followed me into adulthood where I've spent the last five years working in rescue. Within the last few years, I've pursued my passion of co-founding and becoming the director of a local dog rescue in the GTA (MUTTS Dog Rescue) and embarked on various trips to the US and across Canada to help save and rehome dogs in need. I've fostered 10 dogs (and counting) from 5 weeks old and up, fostered four baby kittens, helped care for three family dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, dog sat a number of times, and currently have two rescue dogs (a husky/lab/shep x and a meximutt) and three cats. Working in rescue has helped me gain a deeper understanding of a dog's mannerisms and behaviours which allows me to advocate for them in the way they deserve. I work from home full-time which allows me more than enough time and flexibility to provide all the things needed to help you and your pets out! With over 25 years of experience under my belt, I have the confidence and knowledge to properly care for your pet whether that be through crating, feeding, walking and/or providing medication. A double leash will be beneficial should the dog be a flight risk and a loose lead walk will be given with proper corrections if needed. My main priority is the safety of your dog. Pet care is a part of my every day life with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I will always make time for my pets and in turn make time for yours! Our pets receive the utmost of care. We have a large fenced yard, multiple crates in the home to provide safety and security, gates in the home to ensure dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t, toys are away to manage proper play.

When Mosi’s regular walker had an emergency, I reached out to Tatyana who was available and responsive. She was great with Mosi and went above and beyond. I look forward to her spending more time with Mosi as I know he’ll be in loving hands!

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies who need structure and consistency, and I’m also very attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra monitoring, or medication schedules. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide lots of supervision, walks, playtime, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of care and companionship. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s my full-time focus. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I build my schedule around the pets in my care so they get the exercise, playtime, and companionship they need rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy incorporating walks, outdoor time, and quiet relaxation so pets feel comfortable and part of a normal home routine. When caring for dogs in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m home most of the day since pet care is my full-time focus, so dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, and exercise. If a dog is crate trained, I’m happy to continue their normal crate routine for naps or bedtime to help them feel secure and maintain the structure they’re used to. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to keep their routine consistent. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and keeping their living areas clean and comfortable. I only have one small cat in the home I can make sure is separated if needed. And I only take limited pets in at a time for the utmost attention to the pet.
