Dog Walking Collingwood

About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 1 dog and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.

About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!

About: My name is Laura, and I look forward to giving your beloved pet the care and attention they deserve. I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and has extensive experience caring for all kinds of pets. I volunteer regularly at the Georgian Triangle Humane Society, where I have also had the joy of fostering many cats and dogs. Whether your pet needs an energetic, long walk to burn off some steam or a comforting mealtime visit while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Safety, reliability, and cuddles are always my top priorities! Let's chat about your pet's needs! I am currently retired, which means I offer an extremely flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a short walk, or an extended adventure, I can easily work around your calendar. Let's find a way to make it work for you! While I am currently fostering and unable to offer in-home boarding, I focus my services on making sure your pet feels safe and secure during visits. With clear, detailed instructions, I am committed to providing a seamless and comforting experience for your furry friend while you are away.

“My pups love Ellie! They have had 2 walks with her and I would not hesitate to schedule a 3rd! Ellie was on time for both walks, very communicative, gave great reports after the walks. She spent time with the pups after the walks and always freshened up with water. We appreciate you Auntie Ellie!”

“Thank you so much Kevin for helping us out last minute! Max was so happy when we came home. Kevin was great he was on time and gave us pictures of the walk. Our dog Max was so happy having Kevin come by and taking him for a walk. Thank you so much again for helping us out!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, different sizes, ages and breeds. Big importance with leash manners and socializing. Dogs are a big part of my life and that will never change Currently working part time and have alot of free time, mainly during the week. Very flexible during all hours, whatever the pups need, I’m there! I love going for walks, lots of trials by my house and others dogs for socializing. I do not have a fenced in backyard but some grass to play

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. With these jobs, I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside very intelligent and experienced dog trainers, giving me some beneficial knowledge to use and share! Things about me to help ease your mind: • Pet first aid certified (through The Hound Lounge Inc. and Aldergrove Animal Clinic) • Capable of medication administration (oral, topical, injection) • Able to do nail trims and ear cleanings (please note I will not be able to perform these if your pet is showing signs of stress - but I’ll always try my best!) • Comfortable with any breed, size and age • As previously mentioned, lots of professional experience through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, animal shelters, pet stores and previous dog walking/pet sitting jobs. My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care! My communication skills are strong; and I like to include pictures in my updates (if given permission), as pet photography is another hobby of mine. ☺️

About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

About: 🐾 About Me: Professional Care, Puppy-Level Enthusiasm! Hi, I'm Natasha! I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs a structured routine, a growing puppy working on their manners, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet couch to snooze on, I tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. Why Choose Me? Structured & Mindful Approach: I don't just "watch" dogs; I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and comfort levels. If you are working on specific training milestones (like crate training, loose-leash walking, or socialization), I am happy to help maintain that consistency while you're away! Active & Adaptive: From energetic hikes and outdoor play to calm, enriching indoor puzzles, I adapt the day's pacing to match your dog's age and energy level. Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.

About: Hello dog owners! Thank you for viewing my profile. A bit about me... For the last 4 years I've owned a dog care business in both Toronto and Orillia. Before that I was a driver for a dog daycare in Toronto. I currently live in my hometown of Orillia and have been building my client base here. I currently mainly offer house sitting, walks and drop in visits with limited availability for boarding. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I look forward to hearing from you! Notes: - The rates shown are for areas within 3km of where I'm located in Orillia. Additional kilometres will be subject to a mileage fee of $0.60 per kilometre for both there and back. My schedule varies each week but is flexible for daytime, evening and weekend requests. Let me know your requirements and we can figure out a plan that works! I am very attentive to your dogs needs and pride myself on quickly bonding with new dogs. I keep my living space clean and safe.

About: I provide dependable in-home pet and house sitting for dogs, cats and small or exotic pets, with an emphasis on keeping them happy and settled in their own environment and schedule. I can help with feeding, walks, companionship, plant care, mail/package collection and any other everyday household needs while you’re away. I also have experience caring for animals with medical needs, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra support. This includes pets who are blind, have hearing loss, require oral medication, insulin, allergy care and heart medication. I’m attentive to details, comfortable following care instructions and careful about monitoring changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, mobility or comfort. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your pets, their routines, their care needs and any important details ahead of time. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel safe, cared for and settled at home! I am self-employed, so I have flexible availability and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week and structure my time around each pet’s regular schedule. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their own home and regular routine while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I provide care in the client’s home, so my focus is on keeping pets safe, comfortable and settled in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines. Before a booking, I like to review care instructions, health needs, emergency contacts, vet information, home access details and any household routines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food, medications and anything that could affect a pet’s safety. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy, collecting mail/packages, caring for plants and following household instructions.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.
