“Lianne provided excellent care of my fur baby! She sent updates during her visit which was much appreciated! The peace of mind provided is worth its weight and gold! Would highly recommend Lianne for your drop in visit!”



“Clarence and Clyde were super well taken care of and loved their visits with Brittany. She is a star with large breed, energetic pups. We loved the photos and updates. We would definitely book with Brittany again!”


“I only dealt with Dan and all I can say is I’m glad that I searched around and found the right person for our dogs. I will definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone who asked. He always kept me updated while he was doing drop ins and also sent pictures, which of course calmed my anxiety about having to leave my dogs for the day! Always asked me any questions he had about the dogs and followed any instructions I left. All in all I have had a great experience with Dan.”


“Lesa took excellent care of my our cats while away for vacation. One of our cats is geriatric with special needs, on multiple medications. She was accommodating to visit at the time that the medications were due, and provided them as ordered. My vacation was unexpectedly extended due to flight delays/weather, and she was thankfully able to extend her visits by a few days, ensuring my cats wouldn’t go without care. I would hire her again in the future, she was wonderful!”


About: I've been around animals my whole life and I've loved every minute of it! I've had cats, dogs, horses and other small animals. I've worked at many barns as well as the rainbow district animal shelter during highschool and I have a lot of experience working with and training animals of all kinds. I currently work reception at a vet clinic in Chelmsford. I have a 1 hour lunch break that allows me to potty dogs and take them for a walk during the day so they should never go more then 4 hours without a potty break. I treat any animal in my home like family. I currently have two German Shepherds who love to play hard and sleep harder. I like to keep my animals clean and I work hard to keep up with the hair they like to leave all over my house. We go for lots of walks and spend many hours playing in the yard. Any dog that I'm my care will have lots of time to play during the day, as well as getting some individual time to relax and decompress. Dogs are always welcome on the couch and bed and I can accommodate dogs who need to be crated at night, dogs who cannot be crated but must be in a dog proof room, and dogs who can be loose. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I’ve always had a family pet. Puppy’s, senior dogs, cats. They all have different needs and wants, and I’ll follow your schedule. I’m great with walking, and I know how to train them on leash walking. I’m a very loving person and I’m not allergic to any pet. I’m currently in online school so I can come care for your pet anytime. I’m not employed currently and just looking for little gigs. I have lots of free time I currently have a dog, I take her on leash walks, non leash walks and bush walks. I’m good with putting her out, I know when she has to use the washroom, and I give her lots of attention when she wants it.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 10! My parents travelled a lot growing up and the responsibility would be on us kids to care for them. Living nearby family also had me watching, feeding, walking and playing with pets constantly. I’m currently working remotely from home, leaving me with plenty opportunity to watch/check in/walk your pet during work days! Happy to discuss services on evenings, weekends or longer durations as well (: I’m knowledgeable with a variety of trails and paths that are pet friendly— I have favourite spots to bring pets whether i’m looking for a easy walk, more of a hike, less busy, far from traffic, etc. I can easily crate your dog in your home if needed, and ensure all doors, gates, fences are closed appropriately!

About: I have been watching dogs and taking care of them for the last 30+ years. My last dog passed away just shy of 17 years old. My motto is that a tired dog is a happy well behaved dog I work shift work so when I have availability I will be available day and night to care for your pets and walk them for a minimum of an hour and a half each day I have a very Friendly Dog Named Frank who loves to play with other dogs and loves long walks in the woods. He is crate trained when we are not home
“Very dependable and reliable and excellent with nova”


About: I worked with various animals at Science North for several years. Sure, beavers and skunks aren’t the same as cats and dogs but I’ve got tons of experience medicating, grooming, feeding, walking and cleaning, and plenty of love to give! Besides, walking a dog can’t be harder than walking a porcupine right?😂 I’m also an avid volunteer at PetSave, walking, grooming and fostering puppies and adult dogs. I’m a kindergarten teacher therefore my schedule is 8-3:30 Monday to Friday. I am available for house sitting everyday, however only able to take your fur babies out before and after work! I understand that things come up and last minute plans get made - and just how hard it is to find a pet sitter - which is why I strive to be as flexible as possible! Your fur baby’s safety and wellbeing is my number one priority. I would never take your dog(s) out without a leash. I’m also comfortable with crating. If your pet is used to sleeping in a bed with a human, I won’t complain about the extra cuddles😂 I also send picture and video updates so you can enjoy your time away while feeling extra at ease knowing your pet is safe and getting cuddles.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have always connected well with animals. Responsible, mature adult looking to help out. From big to small, I’ve walked them all. I work from home and have evenings and weekends free. I already have my own dog so what’s another one or two? I have availability during the weekday also if needed. I have a fully fenced back yard and partially fenced driveway. Bedrooms and dining room have doors or gates to keep dogs in main area of house. I also have a vehicle and am able to travel within reason.

“Cassandra kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of cute pictures. Duke got a good walk and playtime. I came home to a happy dog. Very happy with her services :)”


“Amélia made sure our cats were well cared for while we were on vacation. The updates she gave made us feel connected to them even while away.”


About: Hello. My name is Stacey & i’m 24. I work in film so I have months off where I would like to spend my time with animals. Animals are my therapy and my first love forever. I started volunteering/fostering at 14, and have continued to do so for the past decade I have two failed foster cats but no dogs as i’m still grieving a previous loss but thats why i’m here! I cant live my life without dogs or cats or really any animal, and if I can be the “fun aunty” for your fur baby i’ll be happy! I have a flexible schedule as well as I am active, I have experience with all breeds and temperaments. Here to help you and your babies ! I work in film which means when I am not working I have many months off. I spent 20+ years in animal care either volunteering , or working. I personally have 9 rescue / stray pets that have become my family. I’ve got major energy to kill when I am available. I live my life for the 4 legged. I have an entire pet free home (minus some reptiles in cages) , I have done all my pet first aid, signs of stress etc, I have worked with animals for over 20 years. I regularly walk dogs, babysit and check in on ALL TYPES OF PETS! I know all my pet first aid, we have an entire safe home and a fully fenced backyard , as well as specific pet play room.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs and cats makes every childhood a memorable one. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Your pets are my priority when in my care. I'm comfortable working with younger pets to working with senior pets that need extra attention. Also have experience with giving medication if needed. I work Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm. During this time I would not be around, but outside of those hours your pets will be my priority. I will be sure to gather as much information off of the pets owner this way I can be fully aware of all safety precautions and make sure pets are given the best care possible.

“This was my first time having someone care for my cat while I was away. As soon as I met Erica I knew I had made the right choice. She was in constant contact, and sent pictures and videos to put my mind at ease while I was away. I'll definitely be calling her for my next trip!”


About: I have had the pleasure of living with two 50 pound Viszlas for the past ~10 years with my parents. Now that I have moved out I babysit them here and there and am missing having a pet around me! I currently work full time from home, meaning most weeknights and weekends remain available for pet care. I am flexible and willing to accommodate needs. I have a fenced yard as well as a deck suitable for pet care which can hold a long leash reaching the entirety of the yard.

About: When schedule accommodates, I would love to have your pets cared for in your home. I have my own transportation. Excellent care for your pets will be given, as I have been caring for dogs and cats for 15 years. I will feed, walk and play with your pets. I have experience with care for any size dog or cat! If any additional care, such as medications, is needed I will gladly also assist with that, as I have also had experience with providing medication for both dogs and cats. I have experience caring for calmer animals, as well as very playful animals, so I am prepared to care for them. Please contact me and let me know if I can be of any help. I am a full time teacher who would love to help out evenings and weekends. I am more than happy to stay overnight in your home, as long as pets are ok alone during the day for up to 7-8 hours on weekdays (weekends I am off). I personally believe that animals are more comfortable in their own homes, so I will gladly travel to you to care for your pet/s. I have been taking care of my own pets and others for many years now.

About: Use Promo code ISABEH68132 for $20 off your first booking :) If you have an energetic, hyper, wound up, dog you have come to the right place. I myself have a one year old border collie mix, who often complains that even she cannot keep up to the active life I lead! So let me use that energy to help get some of the energy out of your dog! I take dogs for walks out in the woods, on or off leash depending on how well I know the dog and it’s reliability of coming back, as well as the owners personal preference. I have a very active lifestyle and would be so excited to have your pet join me, be that for a daily walk, a run in the woods or an overnight stay (aka walk extravaganza). I love all dogs big and small and believe that every dog is a good dog. Welcoming all Cats! Focusing on providing cats with no/low stress boarding/drop in care while the family is away. I specialize in providing cats with environments and routines as close to their normal life as possible. I continually update my cat education taking courses in feline communication, feline environment & housing considerations, kitten care, feline behaviour and Fear Free techniques. “Everyone thinks their cat is the best cat, and they are right” Look forward to meeting you! I aim to provide your dogs and cats with as much loving care and undivided attention as you strive to give to them at home. Ensuring your pet remains safe and secure when being cared for by an unfamiliar person and/or in an unfamiliar place is a high priority for me.

About: I have had pets my whole life, ranging from rabbits to dogs and even horses. Growing up my parents operated a boarding facility for horses so taking care of other people’s animals is in my blood. My dog comes with me everywhere he can but when he can’t I have to depend on a Rover sitter just like me! I work full time but am available during select evenings and weekends. Dogs are welcome to join my senior lab mix on his evening fun, or for less social creatures I can meet them at home and make sure they get what they need. I do have a senior lab mix and a rabbit in my home so dogs who have behavioural needs concerning prey drive or relationships with other dogs will not be eligible for boarding in my home. I have lots of space inside and out for everyone to sprawl and do their own thing. I have no children and none that visit.
