Dog Walkers in Dorchester

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. :)

“Stefanie took great care of my dog while I was away for a whole week. She was very detailed with her updates and sent lots of pictures! It genuinely felt like they enjoyed each other company. I greatly appreciate that.”

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.

“needed someone to accompany me on my walks and found Walter! This is a new experience for me and my dog Jojo and it went very well - even better than I imagined, both of us feel more comfortable so yay:D”

About: I've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation. I'm very patient with animals, including senior animals, and provide them with love and care while you're away! I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too! I will ensure to stick to your guidelines provided to create a safe environment for the animals. I will also keep a close eye on them and spend lots of time with them!

“She is wonderful and reliable. My dogs love hee.”

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

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. I have 2 cats but but they’re dog savvy and will hang out downstairs if they’re not comfortable. I would be most available on weekends as I’m home. Let me know what works for your pet. Walks, cuddles, and couch all included. I’ve had pets all my life and look forward to hanging out with yours. I have an easy going lifestyle and a large space with a fenced yard. Feel free to check it out before booking. Meet my pet and ensure this is a safe, comfortable place for yours. Thanks! I’m in the office a few days a week but can come home at lunchtime .Weekends are best but we could also work something out for during the week! I’m pretty flexible! We have a big home and a main floor with minimal stairs. We’re easy going and enjoy all types of dogs. 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: Caring for animals has always been something I love doing, I adore all animals like they’re my own. I have grown up with dogs since before I could walk and many different breeds (large and small) and currently own two dogs of my own now. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, so I do my best to make them feel right at home. Whether that means going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or just giving extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I love getting updates of how my pups are doing while I’m away and receiving pictures when my pets are being cared for by someone else, so I will make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. If there is anything you need to let me know so I can provide the best possible car to your pet, I will be happy to do so. I currently work in the evenings most days but am available to drop in to care for your pet in the mornings till 3pm and on weekends. Walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends I can do but unfortunately, because of my own pets I am not available for over night stays. I keep my home clean, safe, and clutter-free to create a safe environment for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I’m committed to following each pet’s specific needs, schedule, and care instructions to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Maddy was such a great Dog Walker, our boy Dex loved going for walks with her, and Maddy even stayed and played with him in the backyard to get him some more exercise. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

“Olivia was prompt and flexible. She was immediately engaged with Breagh. She was willing to walk, play and stay for what we needed.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—everything from playful kittens to older, more reserved senior cats. I understand that every cat has their own unique routine and preferences, and I always take the time to get to know what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or just offering quiet companionship and gentle affection, I make sure every cat I care for gets the love and attention they deserve. I'm also familiar with shy or anxious cats and have a calm, patient approach that helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. Pet care is a BIG part of my routine and forever has been. I am currently working in hospitality and at a reptile zoo. No matter my schedule, I will always prioritize time for making sure each animal feels safe, cared for, and loved. whether its popping by for a walk, quality playtime, snuggles or routine tank cleaning, I will be there. When their feeding times are, exercise scedule anything they are scared of or sensitive to, how often they like to be walked, any special considerations and any medications they need.

“Erin was prompt, friendly and took our girl on a great walk. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, with a special focus on dogs and cats. At home, I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Beans and Chester, and our family dog, Hunter. My love for animals started early — growing up in the Philippines, my family cared for 20 dogs and 2 cats at once. That experience gave me the skills, patience, and dedication to handle pets with different personalities and needs, while always making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, affection, and a watchful eye to ensure their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’m committed to keeping your fur babies happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced pet sitter, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. With me, you can rest assured they’ll be in good hands — safe, loved, and treated like family. 🐶🐱💖 I currently work at Canada Life and am only in the office on Mondays, which means my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I live on Proudfoot Lane in London, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within the city to care for your pets. When pets are in my care — whether in my home or yours — their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a secure, loving environment where they can feel at ease, knowing they are protected and cared for at all times. I am attentive to their routines, needs, and personalities, ensuring they receive the right balance of play, rest, and affection. You can trust that I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, responsibility, and genuine love. My goal is to give you peace of mind while creating a safe, happy space where your fur babies can thrive.

“We’re so lucky to have found Gabrielle! She’s professional, trustworthy, and has such a genuine love for animals. Our dogs adore her, and we can tell she always makes sure their safe, happy, and well-exercised. Gabi is reliable and always communicates with us, sending updates and pictures. It really gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such caring hands!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.
