House Sitting in Burlington

“We hired Jeff to take care of our baby boy Ripley in our home while attending a wedding. Jeff graciously offered to meet us first before confirming the booking. It was obvious from the start that Jeff is a doggie person. Ripley warned to him immediately. Jeff arrived in time on the day of the booking, asked all the right questions and took amazing care of Ripley. Highly highly recommend Jeff. Will definitely hire again. Thanks Jeff !!!”

She spent days at the house, nights at the house and was just overall wonderful to our little queen. We would recommend her for any of your furry, wonderful four legged childs.”

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: My love for animals led me to start my own rescue, and I’ve been immersed in the rescue world for over 13 years. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of pet sitting for many wonderful clients and their beloved furbabies. *I’m certified by the Canadian Red Cross for First Aid for cats and dogs* I’ve experienced just about every aspect of animal care—from helping train puppies and walking dogs to supporting pregnant mama cats through birth to administering medication and even tube feeding dogs and cats recovering from surgery. My experience and knowledge have given me a deep understanding of how to provide personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—especially when pets need it most. And I truly believe a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I take great care in getting to know everything about your furbaby, whether they are big or small, to make sure they are cared for and pampered. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away, keeping you in the loop every step of the way! I’m dedicating myself to pet sitting on a full-time basis, so pet care is my top priority in my daily routine. This allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship and comfort throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, routine, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific care needs, so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. I also respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away

“We are so impressed with the care and commitment Sanchita has shown our dog over the course of several drop in visits and then a 10-day stay at our home. Our pup is a complicated girl to say the least; an anxious rescue that doesn’t do well with new people, numerous triggers (kids, construction), allergies etc. Sanchita put in tons of work with her by way of time, training and treats (!!!) to earn her trust. We are so grateful that we found someone like Sanchita who we and our dog trusts. She is an incredibly lovely and reliable person and we would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care.”

“Anne was an amazing house and cat sitter for us. Before our trip, she was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions about our home and how to care for our fur baby, Nova. We really appreciated how attentive and prepared she was. It gave us confidence that everything would be well taken care of while we were away. During the stay, Anne provided daily updates and handled everything around the house seamlessly. It was such a relief knowing Nova was in great hands. We came home to a happy cat and a perfectly looked after home. I would absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house or cat sitter, and we’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”

About: I am a caring and compassionate animal lover and have over 10 years of animal care taking under my belt. I have always been my family and friends go to person for a caretaker, dog walker, dog/cat sitter, feeder and or just going to give their fur babies some loving while they are away. I recently completed my Veterinary Assistant course where I can further go into a field that I truly love which is working with animals that give me so much joy. I believe that every animal should be loved and cared for and be treated as their own individual. I am currently just out of my first year of college and off for the summer and extremely excited to have so much time on my hands to play and take care of your adorable pups. For the most part I am pretty flexible with my timings and will work to the best of my abilities to fit your needs. I have one very friendly pup and am very involved with her life I feed her make sure she has adequate water at all times, trained her as a puppy, administer medications as needed at the appropriate timings, walking is frequent, play time is a must with me and light brushing to keep my pup well maintained. Overall the well being of mine and your pets are my top priority and I strive to make each interaction a positive one.

About: I’ve spent lots of time with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care. I’m really patient and make sure every pet feels safe and loved while I’m looking after them. I have plenty of available time to watch your pets since I don’t have a job right now. I’ll be starting my summer job soon, and I’ll update my availability once that changes! I make sure pets are safe and comfortable by getting rid of anything that could be dangerous and keeping the place clean. I will also make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep an eye on the pets to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. I also like to keep the owner updated so they know that their pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student based in Burlington, and I offer reliable, attentive care for your dog. I have over a year of hands on experience caring for my family’s dog, where I’ve been responsible for daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to adjust to their energy level and routine whether that’s active walks or a more relaxed pace. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on creating a positive environment. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around consistent walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my time independently, so I make sure pets receive reliable care and attention throughout the day rather than being rushed. On a typical day, I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits, and I’m comfortable adjusting to a pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent for them. I also build in time for play, companionship, and monitoring their well-being, so they’re not just being looked after, they’re being cared for properly. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for pets in my care. I live in a clean apartment with one friendly cat who is used to being around people. When caring for dogs, I always prioritize a slow and controlled introduction to ensure both pets are comfortable. If needed, I can keep them in separate areas to maintain a stress-free environment. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific care needs. I’m attentive to behavior and make sure pets are secure at all times, whether that means keeping doors closed, using a leash during walks, or monitoring their environment. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while also keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

“Lorin is amazing. We are going away again for a longer trip and wanted to do a practise before. The dogs were so happy in the pictures she sent and when we got back it was clear they had been very well taken care of. Both need a little extra assistance from most dogs and she used our instructions to a T! Thanks again Lorin!”

“I had never left my dogs for a couple weeks and was a bit nervous doing it. But once I had met Jennifer and talked to her a couple times, I felt very comfortable having her come to stay with my dogs. She sent me pics everyday and I could tell Sophie and Zoey were very happy!! Jennifer is a wonderful dogsitter and would highly recommend her.”

Ann Marie B.

“We couldn't be happier with the amazing care our dogs Rusty + Tax received! From the moment Yanqi arrived, it was clear she genuinely loves what she does. She seamlessly followed our routine, making sure the pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout our time away. What impressed us most was her attentiveness and communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with adorable pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It's obvious that both Rusty & Tax absolutely adored her... the connection they built was heartwarming to see! She was also incredibly respectful of our home, treating everything with care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced to look after your furry family member, we highly recommend her without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking her again for future sits! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pup! 🐾”

About: I have had my dog for 10 years now, and I absolutely adore taking her on walks and going on adventures together. I was her main trainer in the family, even though I was merely 14 at first! I am 24 now and my love of dogs has only grown. My family and friends often have me dog-sit for them, because I truly enjoy any time spent with our furry friends, and because I believe it is incredibly important to have someone savvy take care of your dogs! I always am researching and learning more about dogs to make sure that I am giving my girl the absolute best. I have helped train puppies, taken care of seniors, and have cared for reactive dogs. I would love to help take care of your furry family members and give them all the pets they want! I am currently in a college program that is primarily asynchronous, and therefore, my schedule is pretty open! With proper notice, I can be available on any day of the week. I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you already have set for your dog, and I am happy to reinforce any training methods you are working on! I do not mind if there are special requirements, as your dog's safety and comfort is the most important thing.

About: I stand out by being attentive, reliable, and tailoring care to each pets needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and kitties (basic training, routines, and socialization) and senior pets (gentle handling, medication reminders, and slower-paced care). I keep owners updated with regular messages and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Pet care is at the core of my daily routine. I prioritize structured feeding times, exercise, and play sessions, ensuring pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. In my client's home, I provide personalized care tailored to their pet's needs. This includes feeding according to their schedule, administering medications if needed, engaging in playtime, and ensuring a clean and comfortable environment. In my own home, I extend the same level of care, ensuring pets feel welcomed and loved while maintaining their routines as closely as possible.

“Carrie stayed with our dog for a week and it was our first time leaving him for a week. She made us feel so comfortable and that he would be in good hands. She took excellent care of him with lots of walks and love. She was easy to get in contact with and always stayed in communication. She left our house just as clean as when we left. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
