About: Animals are my passion, through and through. I have been taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I have experience with caring for a wide range of animals, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, as well as a variety of farm animals (chickens, horses, and donkeys). I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personality types, from huge to tiny, chill to reactive. I modify my care based on individual needs. All animals are always treated with love, respect, and compassion when under my care. I am experienced with administering various medications, as well as with some first aid. I provide basic training while on walks, and will report back any behavioural issues/changes noted during their time with me. I know it’s a big decision to trust someone with the care of your pet, and I always strive to ensure my clients are at ease knowing their fur baby is in great hands with me. Weekday and weekend walks and drop in visits available within a close driving radius (anything above 20km is subject to an additional travel fee). I am available from 6am-9pm. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own, they deserve nothing but love and attention! I follow the instructions for their care and always ask if I need clarification on any of the supplied information. I provided detailed reports, and note any changes to their behaviour or otherwise while in my care in the report card for each visit. I also upload several photos so you see what your pets got up to during our time together. Please know that the trust given to access a clients home is huge and is something I take it very seriously. Please be assured that the same care given to your fur babies is given to your home.

“Sophia looked after our golden retriever and our house for 24 days while we were out of country. She did an excellent job at taking care of our dog and our house was returned to us in excellent condition. Sophia was great at communicating with us while we were away. We would recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”

About: I have owned animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, geese, hamsters, and fish. I enjoy training and spending time with my dogs. They are my extended family and they are treated with love and care. My husband and I work mainly from home. I spend most of the day with my animals , they have space to sleep anywhere they want , in my office, in the living room or in the kitchen when I am making meals. I have a large fenced yard , my dogs enjoy having company. I am trustworthy and dependable, and will care for your pets like they are my own. I find working with animals peaceful and enjoyable, I am looking to supplement my income and my time with something I enjoy. In my home I focus on smaller dogs only, it allows the smaller breeds to feel safe and more comfortable.

“Thank you Krissy for being such a wonderful person to Kivu! You are such a lovely person. So kind and thoughtful. We look forward to seeing you again!”

“Brooke cared for our old giant Mastiff for 4 days and we were extremely pleased with her services. It was the first time we used Rover and a very long time since we had left our dog with a sitter so we were a little anxious but Brooke has a very professional approach. She was instantly at ease with our dog and displayed a lot of common sense and attention to details. She is grounded, calm and caring. We came back to a very happy dog and a spotless house. I highly recommend Brooke as a pet sitter.”

Andreane V.

“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog caregiver who has worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments ..from playful puppies to senior dogs. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in the past and am comfortable with more challenging behaviors. This includes leash reactivity, dog reactivity, people reactivity, and nervous pups. I currently have two friendly Rhodesian Ridgebacks who keep life fun! I make sure my two big pups are fed, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of love every day. We go for a walk every day too. If I’m looking after your pup, they’ll fit right into that routine and be treated like one of my own. When I’m out, I can section off part of the house to keep them safe and comfortable, or use a crate if that’s what they’re used to. I’m flexible and happy to do whatever makes them feel most at home. I’m available for dog boarding in my own home and dog walking in your neighborhood. Whether your dog is high-energy or low-energy, I can accommodate either :). I’m comfortable with: Pullers or leash-reactive dogs Dogs with specific routines or routes Puppies learning how to walk on leash Walks in all weather (unless you prefer otherwise!) I focus on safety, patience, and giving your dog quality time to sniff, explore, and stretch their legs. You’ll receive updates and photos!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, playtime, overnight care, and providing companionship to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I usually travel for work so on the months I’m off I have a completely wide open schedule so I can give my full attention to your pets. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so they can feel confident that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

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: Experienced in recall, leash, and crate training, with a strong focus on positive reinforcement through treat-and-play sessions. I bring two years of hands-on experience house-sitting and handling extra-large breeds. As an animal lover with a knack for training dogs, my ultimate dream is to start a charity that helps people with mobility issues or disabilities care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and building meaningful, caring relationships with them every day! While I am seeking full-time employment, I maintain a flexible schedule and am eager to build a steady list of regular clients. Ask about my preferred rates for recurring bookings! I accommodate pets in my comfortable apartment A typical day includes frequent yard breaks, interactive indoor toy sessions, and engaging treat games or puzzles. Your dog will also enjoy safe socialization alongside two 16-week-old Jack Russell Terrier puppies at my place.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young and really enjoy spending time with, and caring for my furry friends while their human is away. It's comforting to be able provide peace of mind to my clients and quality care for their animals, while they are out of town.

“So glad to have Natasha look after my little senior gal - such a relief knowing she was there with her. Natasha was punctual, had good communication, and gave food and medication with no concerns! Very happy!”

“My partner and I went away to France for a week and a half. Robyn stayed in our home to take care of our dog Hugo. She was absolutely amazing! Communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. She gave us daily updates with photos and made sure our guy received lots of love and attention. She respected the instructions we had left and went above and beyond by tidying our place before we got home. We will certainly use her services again, and we highly recommend her!”
