About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and started taking full responsibility for my own pets as a teenager. As a teenager, I also worked at a dog kennel, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’ve continued to care for my own dogs and cats as an adult, which has deepened my love, patience, and understanding of animals. I began professional pet sitting last year, gaining experience following routines, giving medication, and paying close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily and weekly routine, as I have flexible availability. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs . I can travel within Chatham and nearby towns. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or playtime. I pay close attention to behaviors, respecting when pets want cuddles, attention, or space. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats throughout their lives, including helping with births, and have experience following directions for pets in others’ homes. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up with dogs of all sizes and ages has given me hands on experience with everything from playful puppies to older, more relaxed companions. Now that I’m living abroad, I miss being around animals, so I’d love to give your dog the same care, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. Your pet will be treated like family and looked after with patience, love, and responsibility. I am currently taking a course to learn Polish every day from 9:30am to 12:00pm. Throughout the rest of my day I enjoy exploring the city, going to the gym and practicing my Polish with my grandparents. I provide care tailored to each dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and maintain the dog’s normal routine as much as possible. I make sure they get lots of attention, regular walks, playtime, and any specific care they need. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I haven't met a dog yet that I do not love. I will protect your family member with my life and allow them to take a nice brisk walk through the neighborhood. Any age of dog is welcome. Available to take your campanion for walks from Monday to Saturday between 7a.m- 3p.m. I love company while I walk so why not make money and new friends. When walking dogs I always make sure I am between them and the road. I think it is important for dogs to always sit before crossing roads, with permission I will reward dogs on behavior with treats and love.

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

“Melissa is an amazing person! She looked after our Tabby Kitty Boy for 9 days as a House sitter. She took such great care of our baby! She gave timely updates with videos and pictures - we never had to wonder about how is he doing - thanks to her proactiveness and such love towards our kitty boy. She went a step ahead and ensured the house was clean and handed it over in such a good state! I am totally booking her care again - our kitty was super happy and looked after! So much so that he misses Melissa! Would recommend her BIG TIME! She is amazing!”
