Dog Sitting Burlington

About: I grew up with two dogs and was always fascinated about dogs as I grew I realized the bigger the dog the more I am in love Currently I'm a dedicated volunteer at kerr street mission in-between that I enjoy reading at the library so when it comes to pet care I'm super flexible I've been researching animals from a young age and I find it very easy to pick up cues from them that other people don't see

About: Over a decade of trusted experience caring for furry friends, including puppies and seniors. With a genuine love for dogs, I prioritize their well-being, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's taking care of puppies or providing specialized care for seniors, your pup will be in capable and compassionate hands. I believe in trust and transparency, striving to create an environment where your dog feels as comfortable as possible. Count on me to treat your dog like family, just as I have for countless friends and family members throughout the years. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine as I am fortunate enough to work from home. I make sure to only take on appointments when I know I can give a dog the attention they need. Your furry friend’s happiness and well-being come first, so I always align my schedule to ensure they get the love and care they deserve. As a very careful and respectful person, I prioritize the sanctity of a home, whether it’s my own or a client’s. When caring for pets, I ensure to maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning up after them, providing fresh water and food, and keeping their living area tidy. I also pay close attention to their specific needs and routines, offering them plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Additionally, I communicate closely with clients to understand their expectations and any special instructions for their beloved pets, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience for both the pets and the homeowners.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had a house filled with multiple pets. From kittens and puppies to seniors. As small as 5lb chihuahuas to 95lb labs, I have experience with all ages, stages and sizes. I'm currently in the start-up phase of creating my own home-based business so have lots of availability during the weekday. As a mom to two, evenings and weekends can be challenging but may be possible. I'm a very affectionate caregiver and love showering dogs and cats with lots of pets and snuggles. Each pet gets treated as if they were my own. As an avid traveller, I know what it's like to leave your pet in someone's care and the disappointment that can come when the caregiver does not live up to your expectations, and I vow not to do that to another family. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect.

“Heather took great care of our XL rottweiler/dogo mixed breed who is high energy and extremely intelligent. She left a thank-you card and provided photos of a very happy and entertained big-boy while we were away for the day in Toronto. We recommend and will be re-booking soon and often. -Stephen&Kristen”

About: I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. In a client’s home, I always aim to keep pets on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality — whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and need a calm approach. During visits, I make sure pets get not just the essentials, but also attention, enrichment, and companionship. I’m attentive to their behaviour and will flag anything unusual right away. I also treat every home with the utmost respect — keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. Communication is very important to me, so I always provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. When it comes to dog walking, I prioritize safe, engaging, and structured walks based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Whether it’s a relaxed neighbourhood walk or a more active outing, I make sure dogs get the right balance of exercise and stimulation. I’m attentive on walks, always keeping dogs secure and aware of their surroundings, and I adjust pace and duration to keep them comfortable and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to make sure I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week, especially within Burlington and Oakville. I work a hybrid schedule Monday to Friday (9–5), which allows me flexibility for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the day. On my work-from-home days, I have more availability for check-ins and walks, and I’m able to give pets extra attention and time throughout the day. On weekends, I’m fully flexible and can provide extended care, longer walks, and additional visits. I prioritize keeping pets on their usual routine and always plan my schedule to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and consistency they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have dog sitting and walking experience in Toronto and am able to follow any specific instructions your pet may need. I am able to walk on or off leash, and can continue training whatever you and your family have already started or suggest what I have found to work best. My daughter has just started daycare and am looking for work during the day to pass the time. I am available during all weekdays for your pet from 9am-4pm. I currently take on small construction jobs that will not affect my dog walking/ sitting services. I am able to let your dog out or go for a walk or just keep them company. Whatever is needed I am able to do and will follow all instructions. I can keep up with high energy dogs and give them a good run. I can keep a slow easy pace for older dogs. Whatever is required I am able to do for your beloved pet!

“Hailey is hands down THE BEST!! She took the absolute best care of our cat for a week while we were away. We were nervous having someone watch our diva cat, but Hailey made the experience seamless and stress free ❤️. She checked in daily and sent pictures to let us know how kitty was doing. We 200% recommend Hailey for the care of your animals. We are already rebooking Hailey for our next trip.”

About: My name is Liam Clark and I have loved animals all my life. They bring me joy when I'm feeling down. I enjoy walking, and caring for, all types of dogs and have even worked at a family owned pet store that dealt with puppies of small breeds. I was able to care for, clean and pamper them when I did have customers inside the store. The services I can offer are dog walker, house sitter and dropping in. I have walked numerous sizes and breeds of dogs ranging from Labrador retrievers to dachshunds and smaller breeds like Shih Tzu's. As for house sitting, I have experience using multiple entrance keys and buzzer codes, plus entering different homes to drop in and walk the dog. I am in the process of getting a police check done as I am 18. Currently Pet care is my schedule as I have been catsitting for multiple households throughout the last 2 years, preforming drop in care and live in care I normally meet with the family and their pets before the pet care to get to know each other and hopefully begin connecting with the pets. I follow the instructions given by the family in regards to food amounts and medicine needed.

About: I have experience ranging from fish, dogs, cats to even horses, growing up I used to pet sit/walk for family friends, neighbours and even at a family owned campground for local campers to enjoy a night out and have their pet cared for while doing so. I love long hikes, so if your furry friend is in need of that I have 2 years of experience with on leash and off leash hiking with dogs, or if your pet just needs some snuggles I’m happy to do that aswell! I spent 2 years working for an outdoor dog daycare gaining lots of hands on experience with training, socialization and regular dog care. I’m currently working part time morning shifts a few days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 8-12 other than that my schedule is pretty open! I like to do individualized care programs based off each pet’s individual needs, aswell as owner preferences. Because just like us, our furry friends have totally different likes and needs too 🙂

“Melissa was great! My puppy did so well with her and Melissa provided regular updates and photos which is so nice. Made my Rover experience smooth!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously cared for my Bedlington Terrier for five years, and I currently have a British Shorthair at home. Having lived with both dogs and cats has helped me understand how different their personalities, routines, and needs can be. Dogs may need more active interaction, walks, play, and companionship, while cats often need patience, consistency, and respect for their personal space. I am responsible, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also pay attention to changes in appetite, behaviour, energy level, or anything that seems unusual. Most importantly, I try to care for each pet according to their own personality and routine rather than assuming every animal wants the same kind of attention. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to fit pet-care visits into my daily routine. Depending on availability, I can provide morning, daytime, or evening drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I will do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, play, and care routines. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and respect both the pet and the home environment. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, food and water are provided as requested, and the pet’s space is kept clean. During each visit, I pay attention to behaviour, appetite, energy level, and anything unusual. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after visits so pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and comfortable while they are away.

About: Your furry friend will enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love in a safe, home environment. I work from home, so they'll receive plenty of attention throughout the day, along with regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. Every dog is treated like family. I work from home with flexible schedules, so I'm always around to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel alone. I provide a safe, clean, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Our friendly cockapoo, Chico, enjoys the company of other dogs, and I always introduce pets gradually based on their comfort level. I have a backyard, beautiful walking trails nearby, and follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care routine. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and get excited whenever I get the chance to spend time with one. I’ve helped care for my parents’, grandparents’, and sister’s dogs and love everything from walks and playtime to just relaxing and keeping them company. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work as a figure skating coach for a few hours in the evenings, which leaves me available during the day and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pet. I am organized, reliable, and will always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know pets are family, so I take caring for them seriously. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just have someone keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I live in an apartment with access to safe walking areas and a nearby park, making it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities and I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’m recently retired and miss having a pet around. I grew up with an English setter and we had a cock-a-poo called Teddy for 18 years while the kids were growing up. I’m retired and have all the time in the world to walk, play and cuddle with your dog. Sadly im not available to care for your dog in my home but I’m available for dog sitting during day, evening and overnight in your home. I will take really great care of your dog in their own home where they’re comfortable and settled. I’d keep them in the routine that they enjoy and spend lots of time with them outdoors, walking, playing and having fun.

“Kimberly is excellent, I can’t stress that enough. We are away from our fur babies for 3 weeks and I’m calm knowing they are in her care. Thank you so much Kim, the care you gave to my kitties go beyond words.”

About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old. So that's over 50 years of loving and living with my fur babies. I currently have two dogs - one 12 year old Pomeranian mix and a 4 year old Bichon Frisée mix. I volunteer at the Burlington Humane Society in the cat area doing cleaning and maintenance. Also, I have gotten my older dog certified as a therapy dog and together we visit a dementia clinic once a week. It is enrichening to all - the patients, my dog and myself. I am now retired which gives me more spare time to spend with as many animals as possible since I find it enjoyable and very rewarding. Since we have two dogs I understand the need to balance exercise and rest as to not overstimulated the dogs. I will be with your dog during feeding time to properly monitor their food and water intake and ensure that they are well fed and comfortable. When out on walks your dog will be leashed at all times (with NO exceptions). Also, we will not take your dog to any dog parks. Any play time with toys will be supervised to ensure safety - e.i. Toys are not chewed and eaten The more information that you are able to provide the better as that will enable me to properly care for your dog. Some pet parents like to provide a written copy of all their dog’s information which is very useful to have as an easy reference. This is not mandatory as long as your dog’s profile on Rover is as updated as possible. I am retired and have a lot of spare time to play and care for your fur baby. I would be available during the day for walks and my home would be open to care for your pet anytime during the week. My husband and I live in a condo unit and although we have no back yard we walk our dogs at least 3 times a day around the neighborhood. There are many walking paths in my area and we are very close to Bronte Park. We have two small dogs (male 12 year old Pomeranian mix and female 4 year old Bichon Frisée mix) so your dog would have playmates during his/her stay.
