About: With around eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I’ve developed strong skills in training, health management, and daily pet care.

My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide undivided attention and tailored care throughout the week, including weekends and holidays.

About: Hi! My name is Janie and I absolutely love pets of any kind (I have a bunny, a cat and a dog myself)! I love meeting new pets and learning all of their quirks and unique personalities, and I would feel so honoured to be able to spend some time with your pets, even if it is just for a short walk. I am bilingual in both English and French. Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience, and I will gladly answer any concerns! Thank you! - Janie I work shift work so I am often available during week days, where I can help entertain your pet when you are away! My schedule varies so I am also available on weekends from time to time. Whatever works best for your pet, I will ensure it is done when I am caring for them. I want to make sure your pet is safe and happy and will ensure any rules or habits set by you will be followed!

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the years and always develop a good rapport. I look forward to meeting your pet and its needs. Especially love to get out walking. Retired with flexible schedule. I can accommodate your scheduling needs. Early morning or late evening walks are not a problem, just let me know what works best for your pet. I have a large backyard that will give your dog plenty of room to get comfortable. If I'm coming to your house you will find everything just as you left it.

About: My name is Emma , I’m 35 years old and a graduate of the police foundations program here in Brockville, at St Lawrence College. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 2 dogs, chickens & ducks. I’m an animal lover and have some extra time now and would love to walk/take care of your pets 😊 Please contact me if you’re looking for dog walking or pet sitting. I have 8 years experience walking dogs and pet sitting. I have 2 dogs myself, a boston/boxer mix named Larry & a whippet named Louie. They are very sweet and typically good with other dogs. Louie is not fixed & can sometimes take issue with other male dogs. That’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t offer boarding in my house. I currently have 2 steady clients but am always looking to expand, I keep myself available almost every day of the week so if you are in need of a last minute walk or sit I will most likely be available/ I can be pretty flexible to accommodate. I’m also doing house cleaning & looking to get some new clients there so if you happen to be in need of a cleaner or know someone that is please let me know! I have over 10 years experience cleaning & consider myself a very thorough cleaner. I can clean/pet sit if that interests anyone as well. 😊 I’m currently also working as an instacart shopper & do house cleaning, but do dog walkings midday and can work around my instacart/cleaning schedule to include more dog walkings/visits. I’m not offering boarding for dogs as I think it would be too much, already having 2 dogs myself. I am willing to do at home/overnight visits for anyone who is interested 😊

About: I have experience volunteering and working at the animal shelter (OSPCA) and have cared for friends and family member’s dogs on many occasions. I am compassionate towards all furry friends and do not punish bad behaviour, rather reward good behaviour. I love to walk and play with the dogs I care for and make sure they are comfortable and happy! My often provided both day and overnight care for a former roommate of about 5 years, for her large breed dog. I have experience potty training my pup (she’s about a year old) and I would love to socialize her with your pets in preparation of pet sitting! I am excited to meet your furry friend and welcome them into my home and take care of them as you would while you're away to give you peace of mind. I currently work full time (7.5 hours/day; with flexible work hours). I have weekends off and enjoy spending time outdoors with my fur baby when we can! I am attentive and aware of furry friends needs and take precautions to ensure my home is safe for all! I have toys and beds for my furry friends!

About: Long-time dog lover, first-time dog owner! But don't let that dissuade you. My experience with my dog started off as a big challenge (and I continue to work with him everyday!). I've learned a LOT about handling a strong dog- and I'm constantly rewarded with cuddles! I'd love to care for your dog as I do my own. If our dogs get along, I'm happy to facilitate joint walks (and off-leash if your dog is good with that), or play dates when I am taking care of your pup. Of course, we would make sure this is okay with all parties involved! I use tools with my dog, so if your dog is used to a slip lead, long line, prong collar, or eCollar, I have loads of experience with my dog and these things. I am self-employed and work from home. I set my own schedule, so I have flexibility in when I can care for your dog. Since I am out with my dog a couple of times per day, I can arrange to take our dogs out together (if everyone is okay with that!) My home is too small to accommodate more than my dog (I live in a tiny home!), so all care would have to happen at your house. I do have a dog-friendly car, and can crate one of the dogs in the car to keep them separated in transit, if I ever take them on an approved adventure.

When I take care of pets, i make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. As well as spend quality time with pets ensuring they feel safe and loved in the environment.

“My dog Ava instantly warmed to Katie and seems very content after their walk. Communication has been exceptional and Katie is super friendly. I’m so glad I’ve found someone to give Ava some company and the opportunity to get outside while I’m at work. Will be booking her for recurring walks for sure!”

Kelsey W.

“Ava was great with Lizzie! Kept me updated with photos and details of the walks.”

About: I am Pet First Aid certified and certified through Fear Free’s Shelter Program and Boarding & Daycare Program, which trained me to recognize fear, anxiety, stress signals, arousal levels, body language, and environmental triggers. I grew up in a dog friendly family and spent 12 years caring for my family dog, including her current senior stage care. My Life Sciences and Biomedical Science background also makes me detail-oriented and observant with changes in behaviour, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I focus on secure handling, safe routes, calm interactions, and adapting the walk to each dog’s temperament, age, and energy level. My goal is to provide reliable, low-stress dog walking that owners can trust. I am currently in my summer break (May-Sept). while writing up my research paper draft, I will be flexible with my schedule 7 days a week 6:00am-10:00pm for dog walking. I have full G license with my own vehicle. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and calm handling. Before each walk, I confirm the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and any special instructions. I also apply what I learned from Fear Free shelter and boarding/daycare training by paying close attention to body language, fear-anxiety-stress signals, arousal level, thresholds, and environmental triggers. I check that equipment is secure, choose safe routes, avoid unnecessary dog to dog interactions, and adjust the pace to the dog’s comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress walk while giving owners peace of mind.

“Thank you Grace, She bailed me out at the last minute. She is trust worthy and professional and would definitely use her service again.”
