About: With a lifetime of animal care experience, I offer exceptional care to your beloved pet, whether it's a dog, cat, or emu. Ok, maybe not an emu, but I do have years of personal experience with a variety of animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses. I grew up volunteering at the humane society, and I have years of experience working in animal rescue and veterinary clinics, in addition to dog walking for clients, where I gained valuable professional experience aiding in the care of all kinds of breeds of dogs with varying temperaments. It was at the rescue I worked at that I rescued my handsome pup Kai -- a semi-feral mixed breed from the woods of Manitoba. For the time being, my services will be limited to drop-in visits (not just for dogs) and dog walking. I'll even walk your cat if that's your thing! I offer individual solo walks or small groups of no more than 3 dogs if your pooch is more of a social butterfly. Either way, I can assure you that your family pet will receive the utmost quality care. I love 'em like they're my own. One thing to note-if you book an hour long walk these will likely be a bit longer than an hour as I will take them for adventure hikes, unless you request otherwise. My schedule is currently pretty flexible and open for the summer. September and onwards is still undetermined but please feel free to message me and inquire. At the moment I do not offer pet care in my home, however I am happy to go to yours up to 3x daily if needed to provide potty breaks or fun walks, as well as any necessary feedings or medications.

“Wonderful service. It was a great relief knowing that he was well taken care of. We'll definitely use Cynthia services again.”

“Talia is fantastic. Great communication and very happy to help us when we need a hand with our dog. Will continue to work with Talia whenever possible.”

“This was the first time since my dog had been diagnosed with diabetes that we had to leave her with a pet sitter. I was a bit nervous about the thought of someone other than me having to give her an insulin injection, but Sarah did a fantastic job. I felt very reassured by Sarah's competence and professionalism, and will definitely have her again.”

About: I have pet sat for people in my neighborhood and a few friends for quite a few years now! From young puppies to more senior dogs I’ve done it all! I can check in on your dogs during the day to show them some extra love, or take them out for walks when they need it! My schedule is currently wide open so I am very flexible to check in on your pets any time of the day, for a walk or to give them some extra love! When in a clients house I make sure I am very respectful and careful of their things. Only taking treats, leashes, food and things that would be left out for me! I will also make sure to clean up after your pet if anything were to happen as well!

“Bridget came to feed our bunny Dennis a handful of times over the long weekend. She did an amazing job, changing his litter and brushing him even though we did not request that. She went over and above and met all of our needs and more. Will definitely have her back.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for what feels like all my life. I’ve always had pets of my own, watched for my families and friends and love to do it! I’m currently working from Monday to Friday 10am-6pm but am free before and after that. i am completely open on weekends to fit your needs! I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routine and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I keep their space clean and always check in with updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover With 10+ Years Vet Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Bailey, and I offer in-home pet boarding, daycare, and care for small to medium dogs, cats, and small animals. My pricing is set at what I believe is a fair reflection of my experience in the veterinary industry, the quality of care I provide, and the time dedicated to your pet. At the same time, I work hard to keep my services affordable because I understand firsthand how expensive being a pet parent can be. My goal is to provide trusted, professional care without adding financial stress. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years, and I now work from home for a pet microchip company—meaning I’m available, attentive, and trained to notice even the smallest changes in your pet’s behavior or health. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly chihuahuas, two bunnies, and 3 pet rats, all of whom are used to meeting new animals and do great with visitors. I also have a gentle, animal-loving 7-year-old who has grown up around pets and understands how to treat them with care and respect. Animals have been my passion since childhood, and I love creating a calm, fun, and secure environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, supervision, or just a quiet place to relax, I’m here to make their stay safe and enjoyable. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry (or fluffy!) family member! I currently work from home for a pet microchip company—so I’m home and available all day. Since the company is very pet-friendly, they’re incredibly accommodating when it comes to things like background noise, potty breaks, or anything else your pet may need. Plus, my own 2 dogs are home with me all day and would love to play with your pet! When your pet is in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own! They have full access to the couch and all areas of my pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment. You’re welcome to bring any personal items—beds, blankets, toys, or anything that helps your pet feel more at home—but we also have plenty of toys and treats here for them to enjoy. My two dogs use pee pads during the winter months, but I’m absolutely able to take your dog out for walks if that’s part of their routine. If your pet is also pee-pad trained, that works perfectly for us.

Honestly I'm an instructions person so leave a list and I'll do my best!

About: Hi, I'm Chelsey! I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience spanning in-home care, board and train programs, and doggy daycares. I share my own home with three dogs and two cats, so animals aren't just my work, they're my life. I'll be honest, I love animals more than most people, and every decision I make during the day is based on what's best for the pets in my care. I'm experienced with a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, prong collars, and Gentle Leader walks, and I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from sweet, wiggly puppies to dogs who prefer not to be touched. I'm doing this because I genuinely love meeting new furry friends, and my long-term goal is to build my own business in the animal care world. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! This would be my career, I would do this full time. I would make my schedule around the best intrest of my clients with flexible hours I have a large fenced in yard, i have a large park across the street from my house my dogs like to play offlwash on (i would have dogs on long lines if I was to bring them there) my husband is hone full time and we would work as a team to care for the animals the way the need.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I grew up in a home with a total of 7 cats (yes, seven!), and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. On top of that, I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family. I know how important it is to find someone who truly cares for your pets the way you do. Whether it’s making sure your cat gets their quiet cuddle time, or your dog gets a good walk and plenty of play; I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine! I’m currently on a career break at the moment and am very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I know things like feeding, walks, and play time look for different for each pet. I stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Growing up, I started my own dog-walking business in my neighborhood, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger and evolved into extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a proud owner of Bengal cats, I understand the unique needs, energy levels, intelligence, and personalities that different pets require. I am comfortable providing enrichment, play, exercise, feeding, medication administration, and attentive daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I also have experience training and caring for a high-drive Doberman Pinscher, which has given me valuable knowledge in obedience training, structure, exercise requirements, and managing intelligent, energetic breeds. Working closely with a breed that thrives on consistency and engagement has strengthened my skills in reading canine behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. I naturally connect with pets, understand their body language, and recognize when they need comfort, play, space, or reassurance. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a reliable caregiver, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while you're away, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.

About: Since birth, I have grown up in a household surrounded by both cats and dogs. Seeing first hand how much work our furry friends can be, I was inspired to help others!

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friends! I graduated for the University of Waterloo this spring and am currently working part time. My schedule is very flexible! I am a very active individual who enjoys spending time outside, walking, and playing with animals. I am a very trustworthy individual who acknowledges and respects that all owners and their pets have different needs and am therefore more than happy to accommodate different requests and expectations.

“Ashley was amazing with our babies. She found a way to successfully administer their medicine, left the place very clean, played with them every day, and really treated them as I would like them to be taken care of. She's a great communicator and was very accommodating of some of our last minute requests.”

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.

About: Hi, I'm Vanessa and I am an animal lover, activist and travel obsessed. As a little girl, I always said I wanted to be a Veterinarian, as the years went on I found myself in school for advertising and architecture, two diploma's later and I still wasn't content. Grooming fell into my life through my Dad, he knew I always go back to talking about a career with animals and that I've always had a creative/artistic interest and eventually encouraged me to try it. Fast forward to the present and I'm loving this career, it's definitely not an easy job working with animals but cuddling puppies makes up for it! I am also a dog owner to a beautiful 14 year old male Golden Retriever named Dash; his name still matches his personality to this day. He is a very rambunctious and adventurous dog who never gives up on our long hikes. I plan on giving your pets as much love and affection as possible - I completely understand being busy and not always having time to give proper attention to your pet. I will fill that void and make sure they are happy for when you return. My goal is to keep the animals and myself safe and make everyone happy. Please feel free to contact me through email with any questions!
