About: Ever since I was 13 years old I was the reliable sibling to help take care of any of the family pets, whether it was feeding, baring, walking them. Growing up with two dogs meant that I was always busy doing these tasks, but I loved every minute of it! I am currently self employed, with a flexible schedule. I’m a very active person so dog walking is a perfect gig to keep me and the pups healthy! I currently have two indoor cats due to the fact that I live in an apartment building. The surrounding neighbourhood is perfect for going for walks. To add a pup to my daily walk would be awesome :)

About: My wife and I have been lucky enough to have dogs as part of our families since we were little, and we couldn’t imagine life without them! What started as pet-sitting for friends gradually grew through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy pet owners. We love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and paying attention to the little details that help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. We also make sure to keep you updated, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. We genuinely love what we do and hope to continue caring for as many wonderful dogs as we can! Over time, we’ve had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of breeds, including Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkies, Old English Sheepdogs, Labradoodles, Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Huskies, Dalmatians, Chow Chows, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, West Highland White Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, and many more. And our list keeps growing! Every dog is different, and we love making each one feel like part of our family. I have a pretty flexible job at the moment so I can always find spaces to provide the best care and quality and count on my wife's support for anything necessary. I adhere to your dog's schedule as much as possible and provide lots of pets, playtime and attention, and medicine if needed. I constantly send you pictures, videos and updates to keep you always notified about your best friend's wellbeing.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your dog. We had a Golden Retriever who was a very special part of our family and sadly passed away unexpectedly at just 10 years young. Losing her left a big space in our home, and it inspired me to open our home to other dogs and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I started caring for friends’ dogs after losing our Golden and my family and I quickly fell in love with it. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, seeing them become comfortable in our home, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their families are away. It made me realize how much I enjoy having dogs around and ultimately inspired me to start offering boarding services. We welcome the energy and fun that comes with puppies, and we also have a soft spot for senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, comfort, and care. My family and I are patient, attentive and respectful of each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, prefers to relax on the couch, or needs a little extra reassurance in a new environment, we are happy to accommodate their routine and help them feel at home. I take the time to learn each dog’s feeding schedule, habits, medications, comfort level and any special instructions. My goal is for every dog to have a happy, stress-free stay where they feel part of a family— and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home three days a week and in the office two days (flexibility available). My husband is home throughout the day, providing companionship, supervision, and care while your pet stays with us. We’re available throughout the week, overnight stays, and weekends, allowing us to accommodate your dog’s routine while providing a loving, comfortable home. We have two boys, ages 6 and 2, who absolutely love and adore dogs. We teach them to be gentle, respectful, and mindful of a dog’s boundaries, and dogs are always supervised around the children. We have a large, unfenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with an adult present at all times. We can also accommodate crate-trained dogs and provide a crate when needed. Our goal is to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving home where every dog feels like part of our family.

About: Experienced dog sitter who has loved and cared for dogs my entire life! I’ve raised everything from small Shihtzu-Maltese mixes to large, energetic Golden Retrievers. I'm currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a certificate in animal welfare, so I have a deep understanding of animal health and behavior. I also spent a year volunteering at the SPCA, working with all sorts of sizes and temperaments, from fresh puppies and kittens to sweet senior rescues. Beyond dogs and cats, I have 12 years of horseback riding experience, which includes working with foals, and I also competed in 4-H dog obedience. I also have a lot of farm-sitting experience looking after cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand understanding of high-maintenance pet care. I have a large Golden Retriever of my own (who currently lives with my parents). He has a specialty diet and requires a ton of attention and exercise, so even though he isn't living with me at the moment, I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger. Because of him, I am meticulous about routines, feeding schedules, and medication. I am also very kind, reliable, and a great person to work with, and I have references available if you need them. I am incredibly careful with my clients and their pets. I understand how important it is for them to be safe, and I promise to treat them exactly like my own while they are in my care. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure your pup feels completely safe and loved! I am currently a full-time student that lives very close to campus so I am able to return to the apartment every 2-3 hours to ensure your pet is getting frequent access to bathroom breaks, and is being played and snuggled with! I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings and would love to structure these around a furry friend! When Watching Pets in Your Home: My priority is keeping your pet safe and comfortable in the environment they know best. Because my student schedule allows me to leave campus frequently, I am able to check in on your home and pet at regular intervals throughout the day. I also ensure I am keeping your home clean and safe while visiting for drop-ins or walks, ensuring doors are locked, lights are off, and any garbage is where it belongs. When Watching Pets in My Home: Your pet will be treated like a member of the family in my apartment. Since I live right next to campus, your furry friend will never be left alone for long stretches of time. I ensure your pet is kept on a leash and is never put in harms way!

“Beth was great. Sent lots of pictures and communication. Has a nice fenced in yard for the dogs to play in. Her dogs are precious and got along with mine well, it was nice for my dog to have other dogs to play with.”

“I was worried about leaving my senior cat with anyone as she had not stayed anywhere before. You was excellent at sending updates with pictures and videos twice per day and I soon was not worried about my cat. It is obvious she is an animal lover and I will use her service again when I travel. I received updates on her eating and behaviour which is what I wanted!”

About: Booking now for the Fall!! 🍂🍁 Use code COURTG92048 for 20$ off your first booking with me. I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe. Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed 🐈. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who has tonnes of experience and will love them more than most. ♥️ I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. Same routine, same rules, same love they'd get from you. I follow your instructions to the letter, send photo updates, and pay close attention to how your pet is really doing.

“Kate was so easy to work with. She boarded our dog for a weekend and we were thrilled with her. She asked questions when they arose and made sure to follow our instructions and schedules . She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. Overall, very happy with Kate and would definitely book again.”

About: I have a genuine passion for caring for animals and take pride in providing safe, loving, and attentive care for every pet I look after. I have experience working with a wide range of animals, including energetic puppies, senior dogs who need extra patience and gentleness, as well as reactive dogs that require a calm, understanding approach. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can confidently follow specific routines or administer medications as directed. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My reliability, attention to detail, and deep love for animals make me a great fit for any pet care needs. I incorporate pet care into my daily routine consistently—my own dog and I are out every single day, rain or shine, making walks and outdoor time a non-negotiable part of our schedule. Being in between jobs at the moment has given me the opportunity to fully lean into my passion for animals and dedicate more time and energy to their care. I’m using this time to focus on providing reliable, attentive pet care, and I’m able to offer a flexible schedule to meet a variety of needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy building my days around. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. In both my home and my client’s home, I aim to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment by following their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet rest. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, providing lots of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting their boundaries. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with owners are very important to me, so you can feel confident that your pet is not only well cared for, but truly cared about.

“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”
