About: I've enjoyed having pet dogs for over 20 years and really love getting to know their personalities. I want to help you feel confident your pets are receiving the best care and attention while they can't be with you! I currently work Mon - Friday, so am limiting services to weekends and holidays. I won't show availability on the calendar unless I am off and available to spend the necessary time looking after your pet. I have a well cared for home with a fenced yard. We do not have any dogs of our own at this time. Lots of walking trails just outside our door for interesting walks! We are just a few minutes off the 401 at the Elgin Rd exit #203.

“Katherine is wonderful, she has walked my super high energy pup a few times now and she is great, she’s very friendly and reliable and always checks to make sure my pup has water or whatever else she needs before leaving, I would highly recommend her and I will continue to book walks with her!”


About: Hi there! My name is Csilla but Alex is my preferred name! I’m in my fifth year of Animal Biology at the University of Guelph and working toward applying to vet school. I grew up with a wonderful dog of my own, and since then I’ve helped many friends care for their dogs—whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m always happy to follow your pup’s routine and give them all the attention and care they deserve! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I’m currently finishing my Animal Biology degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the pets I look after throughout the day. Working with Rover fits perfectly into my days—and spending time with animals is truly the best part of it! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding, walking, and medication schedules carefully and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and preferences. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that means extra playtime, calm companionship, or just sticking to their usual routine. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have owned pets my whole life and grew up around an eclectic mix of animals - from dogs and cats, to snakes, to Guinea pigs and bunnies and more, I have been surrounded by pets. I have experience training 3 of our family puppies over the last 5 years, and all are very well-behaved. I love the small fur babies and would be delighted to spend time with yours. I’m currently a teacher candidate at Western, so I have the rest of the summer off which means my schedule is clear to spend time with the fur babies. My schedule will be changing as the school year begins to visits after 4pm. Also, my fiancé and I are expecting our first baby in February of 2026, so that will impact hours. It is also the reason I have decided to work with smaller animals only, as I don’t want to risk the safety of me or the baby at such an important time. I have a fully fenced in yard and a very friendly two-year old small puppy (12 lbs) named Violet at home. We also have a 7 month old kitten, but he has his own room if the fur babies don’t get along well with other animals. We do daily walks at our house around our tree-lined neighborhood, and have a few very dog-friendly neighbours who leave out bowls of water and sometimes offer treats to our little lady. We also have a crate area, and offer a litter box and puppy pads if that is what works better for your puppy!

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a teenager, starting with the dogs and cats of my family and friends. I'm used to different sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to older dogs who need more patience, leashed walks, and lots of love. For me, every pet is part of the family, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. At home, we're pet lovers, and caring for them fits perfectly into our family routine. There's always someone home, and we enjoy spending time with them, playing, and making sure they feel part of the family. We adapt our schedules so they get frequent walks, timely meals, and lots of affection. The safety and well-being of each pet is my priority. I always supervise their activities, both inside and outside the home, and carefully follow each owner's instructions. I ensure the environment is clean, calm, and risk-free (no dangerous objects or open access). I strive to create a trusting environment where each pet feels welcome, cared for, and relaxed from the very first moment. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and affection to make them feel at home. Furthermore, I have a strong commitment to the environment: I use biodegradable bags for walks, avoid unnecessary plastics, and encourage outdoor walks in safe, green spaces so they can enjoy the natural environment.

You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and takes the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

Taylor B.
“We have booked Taylor several times over the past few years. Our rather snobbish dog loves Taylor and we wouldn't entrust her to anyone else.

You won't regret booking Taylor.”

She treats my animals as if they’re her own. She has a sweet loving personality towards animals! I highly recommend booking with Shakira.”


Samantha G.
“Samantha provides great care to all animals; Our family dog is her best friend, as Samantha usually takes our dog on a walk twice daily and gives her continuous play.

I highly recommend Samantha for anyone seeking a pet caregiver.”
