Dog Walking Erbsville

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

About: I’m a veterinary technician, having graduated with honours over ten years ago. I’ve worked with and adored caring for dogs cats and exotic animals in practice as well as my own pets. I’m also an equestrian rider. I currently work in a flexible sales position with an animal health company and have some time to support pets in need of loving check ins and walks I have years experience with all types of small animal and equine care including medicating if needed. My own cat is turning 21 years old this year and is a tripod!

“Elle was great with my dog Lumos! She arrived on time, took him for a nice walk, and played with him in the backyard. She also updated me with many photos and videos! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I've been an animal lover since I was very little. I have experience with fostering and training puppies, I am an avid hiker and love being outdoors. I have my own senior dog, so I am very experienced with dogs who have a very specific schedule. As a retired woman with a love for animals and plenty of free time, pet care is a big joy in my life. I have a senior dog of my own who enjoys leisurely walks. I have lots of time for regular feeding, play and cuddles for your furry friend. I also tend to my large garden, which provides a safe space for dogs to explore play or nap! I prioritize full attention as well as a calm predictable routine for whoever I am caring for. My home is set up to be cozy, clean and pet-friendly. I treat all animals like family, and their comfort and well being are always my top priorities. I follow and specific feeding schedules, medication needs, or routines that owners provide, and I take special care with senior or special-needs pets. Dogs staying with me can enjoy plenty of time outside in my secure yard or nature walks on the trails nearby, if they like being outdoors! I make it a priority to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and at home while they're with me.

“Shorty seems to really like Tor! He is a great walking buddy and gives him time to roll in the grass and play with other friends he may meet. In fact Shorty is going on another walking adventure with Tor next week.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, where I care for dogs and cats with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I also volunteer with animal rescues and have fostered dogs through the Humane Society, which has given me experience caring for animals who need extra patience, attention, and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time at an animal hospital, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet sitting! I take a few classes during the week at the university, which are mostly online. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, and I love spending my free time with them. I'm happy to accommodate different routines and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime while staying with me! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a cozy apartment with my animal loving friend and my friendly British Shorthair cat, Pashmak, who is part of my little family.

I always follow each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions. I'll also provide plenty of love, attention, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me! 🐾

About: Hi! I'm Taya, a 37-year-old lifelong dog owner offering dog walking, pet sitting, and in-home pet care in KW and the surrounding area. I've spent my life raising large breeds, and the dogs that have shaped me most weren't the easy ones. I know from personal experience the anxiety that comes with finding a trusted person to take care of and understand the needs of a strong and reactive dog. My Cane Corso (147 lbs) was reactive — dogs, bicycles, scooters, you name it — and together we developed what I call defensive walking: staying proactive, reading the environment ahead, and keeping situations calm before they escalate. I know how to manage powerful dogs on a leash and how to advocate for reactive dogs in the real world. My Rottweiler had seizures, which means I'm also experienced in recognizing and responding to seizure episodes and comfortable administering medication on a schedule or in an emergency. I don't panic — I've been there. What I offer: Dog walking (including reactive and large breed dogs) Pet sitting at your home Medication administration if required I'm a responsible, experienced dog person who understands that your dog isn't just a pet. I am currently unemployed by choice. I have spent a few years in Australia and recently returned to Canada. I have all the time to dedicate towards pet care. I have a fully fenced yard with my home, with no other animals here. At your home, I will follow your rules. Pats and cuddles on the couch if it's allowed; if not, we will sit on the floor and cuddle.

About: My first experience taking care of a dog was my foster pup, Bingo. Since the, I have adopted my own buddy, Fitzgerald, and taken care of many dogs that belong to my friends and family. I love walks, but I also have experience training puppies, and tending to elderly dogs. I look forward to taking care of your fur family! I am lucky enough to be a family and pet photographer, so my schedule is up to me. I would love to fill my time tending to animals. I am usually available to stop in and tend to your pets. In my experience with taking care of the pets of my friends and family members, I usually stop in (with key or code access) and make sure pets have food and water available, and then I either keep them company (pets, snuggles, play, etc) or I take them for a walk. I have experience tending to a dog with epilepsy who needs medication on a set schedule, and I am comfortable with ensuring pets take their medication. In cases of emergencies, I have access to a driver/car or Uber pets to take animals to any emergency pet clinic.

“Julia is great! She's super responsive, reliable, and understands dogs really well. Our dog Sunny loves going on walks with her. We'll definitely be rebooking!”

“I’ve only had Sarah booked for one walk so far, but she’s been awesome! She agreed to do a meet and greet with us to meet our pup and visit our building. She took photos and sent updates during the walk. We plan to continue booking with Sarah!”

About: Pets make every day better! We adore both dogs and cats and have been taking care of them for 8+ years. Robert has a strong and active American bulldog. He is great at taking bigger dogs on safe and comfortable walks. Suhaana has had pet dogs and cats all her life. Her strengths are showering them with endless attention, cuddles and care. We both enjoy running and parks and would love to take your pup with us! We have a spacious balcony in Waterloo, Ontario and are at home almost all day. We mostly study and work from home. From anxious pups to social butterflies and babies to senior dogs, we have experience taking care of all of them! Pet care is an enjoyable and very welcome part of our daily routine! We start our day with morning walks when we’re dog sitting to help dogs get their energy out and stay active. In the evenings, we take them on another walk to wind down and enjoy some fresh air. We are happy to accommodate additional walks. Throughout the day, we make sure every pup feels loved and cared for. We’re flexible with scheduling and available for last minute bookings. We live in a spacious apartment in Waterloo Ontario, with many peaceful trails nearby and in Kitchener. We also have a big balcony for your pet to play on. We are both active people and enjoy walks and runs.

About: I'm very caring and reliable and I will take great care of your pets!. I have had foster animals of all types and have adopted some myself. I have let sat before and people were very pleased. I've lived with a variety of pets my whole life. I enjoy watching them and would take great care of your pets, as if they were my own. I can watch dogs or cats of all sizes and at a variety of times. I try to provide a reasonable price with excellent service. I can meet your schedule and pet owner needs. I hope I will get to make some furry friends and visit them often. I can also house sit, dog walk, and pet sit. Thanks so much! I am a stay-at-home mom so I am home virtually all the time. Walks and training are part of my every day already. I take my own dog out often as she has a small bladder :) I have a townhouse and can keep animals separated if necessary or with everyone depending on the dogs personality and owners wants. I would love to treat the dog like I do my own.

About: Dog lover through and through. Life hasn’t been the same since we lost our beloved 18-year-old Bichon a few months ago. Caring for her from puppyhood all the way through her senior years, including providing the extra patience and attention older dogs need, gave me hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. My love for animals started long before that. When I was younger, I volunteered at local pet shelters where I helped walk dogs and clean the cats’ room. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always gravitated toward them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, giving them the same love, attention, and reliability I gave my own dog. I truly understand that pets are family members, and when they’re in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Honestly, if you can’t find me at a house party, chances are I’m wherever the pet is. Spending time with animals is simply where I’m happiest, and I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and affection as my own. I work full-time remotely from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Whether you need care during the workweek while you’re at the office, regular walks, drop-in visits, or someone to look after your furry friend while you’re away for a weekend, I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. My home is quiet and calm, with no kids or other pets, which can be a great environment for animals who enjoy a peaceful space and lots of attention. Since I work remotely from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep your pet company and make sure they’re well cared for. They won’t be left alone for long and will always have someone nearby. While I don’t currently have a fenced backyard, I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s great for safe walks. I’m always careful when outdoors and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times.

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am an experienced dog owner who runs my own training, grooming and pet care business in New Hamburg called Canine Community Corner. We offer a wide variety of services, such as boarding, walking, drop in visits, bath and brush, and nail trim services. We also carry a wide variety of pet care products in our storefront, most of which are made by other local small businesses. In my home, I have 2 dogs and a cat. In the past I have also had a bearded dragon, a chameleon, hamster, rats, and mice, so I am experienced with a wide range of animals. During their stay with us, your pet will receive flexible 5 star care, depending on their needs and preferences. My dogs and I are avid hikers, and often spend our free time out on walks through the forest. If your dog prefers to stay home, we are also able to provide a calm and quiet environment for the duration of their stay. I also have a wide variety of actives they can do at my facility in the case of bad weather, including a treadmill, obstacle training, and scent work activities. My goal and belief as a pet professional is that services should be catered to each specific client, and not a one size fits all model. Because of the size of our living space and the nature of my job/business, I do require that any dogs coming to stay with us are crate trained and that their crate is brought with them. This not only allows for a smooth and stress-free stay, but provides your dog with a familiar safe space in a new environment. If your dog has any sort of separation anxiety, please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly. Feel free to message me with questions at any time! Because I am a small business owner, I have a very flexible schedule that can change depending on the needs of my clients - whether that’s in a drop-in, walk, or boarding service. Our canine clients often spend the day with my at my storefront, then come hone with me in the evenings to hang out until bedtime. Depending on the dog and the preferences of the owner, they may also participate in group classes as a demo dog to help show the exercises being taught. I am currently living in an apartment that opens outside to a large yard. Dogs are kept on a long line, unless otherwise specified by their owner that they are able to be reliably off leash. Even with owner permission, I typically avoid any off leash time that could potentially lead to the dog escaping or getting injured. I also have a very structured system in my home, where I introduce dogs through a parallel pack walk before letting them interact either indoors or outdoors. I also spend a significant amount of time working on calm and impulse control, and avoid letting pets in my home get overly excited.
