About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. I currently share my life with my golden retriever, Sunny, who’s full of energy and loves playing at the dog park and swimming in the river. Caring for him has given me hands on experience with an active, social dog who thrives on routine, playtime, and plenty of attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets, offering walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. You can trust that your dog will be cared for like one of my own! Im currently working Monday-Friday 7-1pm so Im available for pet care from 3pm-9pm during the week and 7am-7pm Saturdays and Sundays. If you need care outside of those hours send me a message and I may be able to accommodate you :) I don’t crate my dog however I know they work great for most dogs. I have a large fenced in backyard and will always make sure your pet is safe and happy!

“Our dogs loved having her drop in. She was always on time and stayed for the full length of the drop in. Our dogs instantly gravitated to her as she gave them lots of pets and love. We were very comfortable having her drop in while we were away and would hire her again. Definitely recommended.”

About: Animals have always been a part in my life since I can remember, including dogs, cats, and everything between. Pets aren't only animals, they are family and friends. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages and personalities, learning how to connect with them and understand what they need. Whether its playing, petting, or walking, I will make sure they are taken care of like they're my own. You can feel confident knowing they're in safe, caring hands. As a full time worker, it is still important to me that your pets gets all that it needs from being under my care. I am available before work, during my lunches, and evenings after to ensure quality time and consistent check ins. Caring for pets always starts with what the pet needs and the owner's wants. My caring techniques change between different animals and their differing personalities. My services include, but are not limited to, walking, feeding, playing, and spending time with your pet, all based on directions that you give. I will easily adapt to different household needs.

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: 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.

“the cat is doing very well. I also had a neighbor who combed my cat. So I dont know how that affected what was done by Grace. I did not expect my neighbor to do so much.”

“Katie was the best thing to happen to me and Mowgli. Having someone who cares so much about your pet takes away so much stress when travelling. She’s attentive and committed and had my somewhat not always social cat purring away with her. Highly recommend!”
