Dog Walkers in Cobourg

About: I’ve been a dog & cat owner since childhood, and I’ve looked after family & friends’ pets for almost as long! I am no stranger to pets young and old, energetic and slow, shy and outgoing, nor am I a stranger to caring for pets when they’re ill, or have a few special needs here and there. I am comfortable with keeping up with training and regular enrichment. Additionally, I drive and have a car and I am more than happy to do any picking up & dropping off, as well as trips to the park or the beach! I currently work at a restaurant as my main job, so while I have some downtime before the summer rush hits I’m usually available Sunday-Wednesday! As well as mornings Thurs-Saturday. I understand that every pet has its own set of needs, and one cannot paint with a wide brush when it comes to pet care! I am happy to follow whatever direction given, and exchange wisdom when appropriate!

About: Dedicated pet enthusiast offering reliable and caring services as a carer for both dogs and other pets. With a genuine love for animals, I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment during your absence.

“Sylvee was a pleasure and my dog Peanut loved her. She was here when she said she would be, always with a smile. Her energy makes you feel at ease be a human or canine. Thanks so much Sylvee!!”

“Meaghan stepped in with very short notice to walk our dog Nova. She was absolutely amazing! Very easy to communicate with and knew exactly how to make sure Nova was on her best behaviour. We met the day before to go through any details and logistics that really helped make us feel at ease. She also sent post walk photos of our happy girl! Will totally be using her again if we are in need and would recommend to anyone in need of dog walking or sitting.”

About: I’ve had a dog around my whole life, my family has owned 3 dogs in my lifetime, my husband and I had a beautiful chocolate lab who crossed the rainbow bridge way too soon at only 3 days past his 3rd birthday. We now have a 2 year old English lab. My absolute dream would be to open a dog sanctuary and let all the dogs live their best life. I’m currently on maternity leave so my days are pretty open. I would need to bring my 1 yr old with me for walks as my husband works during the day so if your dog is ok with strollers perfect if not I can put my son in the carrier. I have an energetic 2 year old english lab who loves to play with other pups, he’s like a family member to us and yours will feel like one too!

About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.

“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”

About: Growing up I was always asked to watch family or friends or acquaintances pets. I have always had a love for animals! With 16+ years of experience watching cats and dogs and having my own pets, I can confidently say that I know what I’m doing, I am efficient and I’m a trustworthy person I work for TD Bank part time so when I’m not there, I’m working from home. I go on daily walks/hikes and always like to keep moving and doing something to pass the time. I’m very flexible with time and can make almost anything work for you. I live very close to many trails, and parks. I take my own personal dog there very often. I have a beautiful apartment that already houses my eight year old Yorky named peanut and by kitten Tim. Both are super spoiled and cared for very well. I keep my home very tidy but don’t mind having any messes caused by the dogs and/or cats. I don’t mind having dogs in my house but I will not take cats in my house because I don’t think that Kevin would like that. I have no problem going to other peoples houses to care for their cats and doing what needs to be done.

About: I am very excited to walk or dogsit your babies! I have many years experience and have had a few babies along the way. Rip my loves 🙏🏽💜 So excited to start this new adventure and meet many dog lovers along the way. I have plenty of time to commit to helping take care of your dog. Let me know what you are looking for and I can get back to you with what works. I have a safe environment that allows for 1 or 2 dogs to stay. I am very strict in your schedule for food consumption and treats. I believe dogs need to be outside regularly and it gives them exercise and a chance to run around. I have a dog that I share with my ex. I have him every other week so I have lots of time to commit to other dogs while I don't have him.

About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

“Hi yes Richelle was great but our schedules are unable to sinc to I will be looking for another walker.”
