Dog Sitting Brantford

About: Hi there! I’m Melanie, a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, and my very first job was at a dog kennel. That experience opened the door to working in an animal hospital, where I realized veterinary medicine was exactly where I belonged. I went on to earn my diploma as a Veterinary Technologist and have since worked in several small-animal clinics as well as emergency hospitals. I’ve cared for animals of every size and temperament, and I’ve built strong technical skills through hands-on work in anesthesia, surgery, patient care, and fast-paced emergency situations. I have a genuine passion for animal care and the expertise to support pets with both basic and advanced needs. Whether your pet requires medication administration, injections, subcutaneous fluids, or just a loving and attentive companion, I’m here to help. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently work full time, so my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. I have access to a reliable vehicle and hold my G license. As a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT), I uphold a high standard of ethics and care that aligns with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and truly understand how important they are to your family. I’ve also house-sat for several families, and my goal is always to respect your space and leave it even better than I found it.

About: Ever since I can remember my family has had dogs. After getting married I started my own dog family, I’ve had 3 gorgeous shi tzues, one that lasted 16 wonderful years with us and now I only have 2. One is 11 years old and her sister is almost 3 years old. I’ve also taken care of their mother whom is now 16 and helped her give birth to more than 10 puppies and taking care of them until they found a home. Let me also love your dog! I will love them and take care of them as if they were my own, you will feel very confident to leave them under my supervision. I’m a stay at home wife so I can take them for walks any time. Im currently a stay-at-home wife so I have more than enough time to care for your furbaby! I have reliable transportation to get to your place or take them out to a park. I have a car to take your fur babies to a dog park if wanted or just around the block. I am the most trustworthy person you’ll know and can feel safe giving me access to your home and pets.

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, confident energy and my belief that every dog deserves love, safety, and stimulation — even when you can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you. I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, various types of lizards and chicks. I work full time very close to home. I am available most weekends and evenings for walks or any other needs you may have ! Large unfenced yard Lots of walks, long leashes for free exploration.

About: My husband David and I treat every dog and cat like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As previous service dog raisers, we have experience with both energetic puppies who need play, patience, and training basics, as well as senior pets who need a gentler touch, extra comfort, and a steady routine. We are reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that’s long walks, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. We have a flexible schedule, which means we can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. Because we work our day around pet care, we can keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Having this flexibility also allows us to give extra attention, longer walks, or just more quality playtime if that’s what your pet loves most. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness always come first, and we are able to adjust our time to make sure they feel cared for and loved every day. When we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat it with the same respect we would my own. We follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, play, medications, or snuggle time—and make sure your pet feels loved and cared for in their familiar space. We also like to send regular photo and video updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and safe while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Kristin, and I have always had a passion for spending time with many animals, especially dogs. I’ve grown up with pets ranging from fish, to birds to dogs. I’ve owned and taken care of many different breeds of dogs such as westies, yorkies, beagles and labs. My partner and I currently own two dogs, who are a very important part of our family. As a dog owner myself, I know how nerve racking it can be to leave your dog with a stranger. Therefore please feel free to ask me any questions, or let me know anyway that I can make you or your furry friend more comfortable with the visits. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon!

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, so I’m pretty comfortable with all ages and their different needs. I honestly just really love dogs, I have one of my own too, so I totally get how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. I’m patient, caring, and I just try to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Right now I’m free every day and anytime because I’m on summer break from university. I could walk or visit your dog in the morning, afternoon or evening. Got it—here’s a version that fits client’s home only and still sounds natural: When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to feeding schedules, give fresh water, take them for walks, and spend time playing with them and keeping them company. I also pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need lots of activity, extra patience, or just calm companionship. I keep things clean, respectful, and make sure your home is taken care of as well while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and not stressed while you’re gone.

About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life, and have seen all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m always attentive of individual pet needs and treat them like my own. I work full time 8-4 and currently often go away on weekends from Friday-Sunday. Otherwise I’m home the whole time after work to give lots of attention. I can also go home during lunch if ever needed. I’ve recently moved into a new home and have an empty basement at the moment which won’t be furnished for a few more months. Your cat can have their own very large space there with a bedroom included for them. Dogs can enjoy the whole house with me if they are friendly with my cat, and enjoy plenty of space in my large fenced backyard.

About: I can read pets moods and comfort levels well. Shy or scared dogs feel comfortable with me because I take it slow and let them come to me. I’ve taken care of young kittens and an older diabetic cat. I care for other people’s pets like they're my own and take the responsibility very seriously. I also love playing with cats and dogs, I have a lot of fun bringing out that side of them. I work freelance jobs remotely from my home and have a flexible schedule. I run a side karaoke business so some evenings I am busy. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I have a fenced yard and one small shih tzu named Andy. I take care of pets by first building a relationship of trust with them, giving them whatever space they need to feel comfortable and taking extra time to do this properly. I can manage medications well and medicated shampoo baths. My current dog has allergies and my previous cat had diabetes so I have a range of care experience.

“She did a great job at taking care of my three kitties. The wet food kitty dishes were cleaned with each visit, and so were the empty tins for recycling. Litter was cleaned daily and put into the outside bin. She has a positive happy attitude and even watered my front porch plants which I had forgotten about. She is trustworthy too if you worry about your home. She is Smiley approved!”

“Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!”

“Paula is an absolutely incredible pet sitter! We had no idea Paula was available, sometimes, for house sitting and will hope for that option, as everything was perfect, the cats were so content.....came to the door but turned away almost disappointed it wasnt Paula 😅. Paula also accepted us last minute so that was amazingly helpful. Would 100 percent recommend Paula for any pet needs you have.”

When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and baby gates inside to help manage space, support routines, and keep pets safe. Dogs can relax on the couch, explore the yard, or settle into a quiet space depending on their needs. I keep their routine consistent with yours, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around them just feels natural to me. I have a 16-month-old Labrador who is honestly the light of my life, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I know how important routines, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection are. When I look after someone’s dog, I treat them like they’re my own — with genuine care, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I work from home and am always available to take great care of the dogs and will treat them like they're my own with genuine care. There’s always plenty of supervised playtime, attention, and affection, and I never leave dogs unattended for long periods. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind.
