Dog Sitting Burlington

“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”

“Could not ask for a better drop in visits for our cat! Hailey is all we could as for and more! Thank you so much!”

“This was my partner's and my first time using Rover and I can't overstate how much of a success it was because of Alicia's top-notch care. She went above and beyond to ensure Delilah (our cat) was comfortable, entertained, and extraordinarily well cared for. Alicia has a kind, gentle approach which will ensure your pet warms up to her immediately. Her updates were extensive, she was highly responsive, and it was very clear that she fosters a genuine passion for pet care. 11/10 recommend - we will be rebooking Alicia in the future!!”

About: I have always grown up having a dog in my family. As I got older I started finding ways to have more dogs in my life by watching family and friends dogs as well as pet sitting through other platforms. I used to volunteer at the humane society. Taking on more responsibilities for vulnerable dogs. Having experience with various dogs and breeds I feel I have the patience and understanding to work well with any dog. I am available Mondays and every other Friday all day. Otherwise Tuesdays and Fridays I’m available after 2pm. The other days I generally work 10-6 so may not be able to accommodate requests those days. Caring for your pet in your home will consist of following all your rules and instructions. I understand that this dog is an important part of your life and I will do everything to keep them safe. I will not be offering pet care in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.

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’ve been caring for dogs throughout my entire university journey, three years of walks, cuddles, and drop-ins for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From bouncy puppies still learning the ropes to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I’ve handled it all. I’m also a cat owner myself, so animals truly are a part of my everyday life. Whether your pup is a high-energy large breed or a small dog who just wants company, they’ll be in fun, caring hands with me. As a university student, my days are flexible and I structure my time around the dogs I care for. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, and I’m always reachable and responsive when pet parents need updates or last-minute bookings. Since I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in their own familiar environment — no stress, no adjustment period. I treat every client’s home with full respect, follow any house rules or routines you have in place, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before anything else. You’ll get updates and photos throughout so you always know your pup is safe and happy.

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.

“Melissa was an amazing dog-sitter! She was so good with Preston and he had the best time with her! She was so attentive to his needs and very responsive. I got daily photos of him, which were so cute!! I will definitely book Melissa again and I totally recommend her service.”

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.

About: Hi, I’m Mo! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs for family, friends, and referrals, along with 5 years of professional experience in dog daycare and dog walking, I bring both knowledge and heart to everything I do. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s a fun, active walk or a calm, comforting visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I’ve intentionally made time for. I’ve recently come off maternity leave and decided to step away from my corporate role to return to working with dogs, a true passion of mine, while having a more flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, Monday to Friday, with plenty of time and attention to dedicate to each pet in my care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, cozy space where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine and personality so their stay feels as close to home as possible. They’ll get lots of attention, and supervision throughout the day, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will truly be treated like part of the family!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. Me and my biologist cousin used to rescue dogs and cats that lived around our camp house back in my hometown. I am a really active person and love going for runs and hikes. My best friends for this have been dogs that want to get their energy out as much as I do. I believe all pets are different and appreciate owner communication to get to know your pet better! Excited to meet you! I’m currently a full-time teacher so my weekday schedule goes until 4pm. However I will go into summer vacation soon along with my student so I’ll have much more availability during that time. For now, weekends are my to go but any late afternoon weekday visits are welcome. I love having a detailed description of the pets I’m going to take care of beforehand. Are they afraid of something specific? Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they have any medical conditions? I carry my own equipment for walking and giving dogs a drink (I appreciate if they have favourite treats we can bring along for long walks!)

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & Area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Vanna was very happy after Sarah’s visit, I would hire her again!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve grown up with them in my home and for the past year I’ve helped care for my cousin’s dog since she was a puppy. I’m comfortable with routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. Your pet will be loved and cared for like one of my own! I work full time, but caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. I plan my days to include morning and evening walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m very mindful of keeping pets on their usual schedule. After work, I’m happy to spend quality time playing, walking, or just keeping them company. On weekends, I have more flexibility and love being able to give extra attention and longer walks. I treat every pet as part of my own routine, not as an add-on, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I provide loving, attentive care either in my pet-friendly building with a fenced dog park, or in my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine closely. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. If your home has a yard, I’m happy to spend time playing outside and helping them burn off energy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and comfortable.
