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!

About: Grew up with animals. Had German shepherd’s as a child. In my adult years have had experience taking care of dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to Shih tzus and cats. Love getting outside for walks! I work a 4 on 5 off rotation which allows me the flexibility to fit let care into my time off. Flexible times and able to work around most schedules daytime and evening. I feel comfortable looking after dogs and cats of all sizes. Safely walking them and being able to look after them in your home. Being able to follow your instructions for how you would like them looked after.

About: I have been a huge dog lover since I was young! I have a passion for working with animals and have experience with handling and training leash aggressive, reactive dogs! I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with all! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Although my partner and I live in Thamesford, Ontario, I frequently travel to Toronto to babysit our family dog. This often involves planning my week around these visits to ensure I can spend quality time with our family pet. In Thamesford, I also enjoy babysitting and walking other local dogs in my free time. This helps me stay active and engaged with the community. My days often consist of working from home and being able to walk and check in on dogs throughout the day to make sure they are comfortable and happy! Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities and remote work requires good time management, but it's a rewarding part of my life that I truly cherish. If I was going to a clients home I would treat it as I treat my own home, with respect and cleanliness. In my own home my dog was the king of the house lol and I treat him as such. Any pets I encounter and look after will be treated with the utmost respect and care because I love animals and love being around them! I would definitely consider myself an animal whisperer. :)


“Timisia has been great! She lives close by and has been able to accommodate even our last minute bookings. She is reliable and easy to communicate with. Our pup comes home happy and well exercised. Would definitely recommend!”


About: Hi, I recently lost my sweet terrier and he was not kennel suited so I understand that it’s comforting to have your your pet taken care of in a home.

Room for crates if needed and lots of dog beds for your pet to lounge in.I have a large fenced yard for your dog to run and play!

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was born and could never imagine my life any other way!

I work part time and am able to come to your home for drop in visits to feed and play, let your babies outside, take them for walks, or the dog park or whatever you need done! I typically walk my dog once per day and we also frequent the dog park! I am happy to do both or one of the two for your fur babies or just play inside.
