Dog Walking Essa

“Jessica did a great job with my puppy Tulip 🌷 she is patient and attentive to her needs. She is compassionate about animals and follows instructions.”

“Amanda was great and super accommodating for a last minute booking request. I’m cat/house sitting in innisfil and Taco misses his puppy play dates that he’s uses to. I requested she take him to the dog park so he can play with other dogs but that was not a service she offered but she did one better by taking him to her backyard after the walk to play with her friendly neutered dogs, which is all I really wanted and she delivered! Thank you Amanda!”

About: I grew up raising dogs from puppies to senior dogs, volunteering in shelters and have spent my life reading their body language, energy and needs. I specialize in calm, structured walks that help dogs feel safe, confident and balanced-especially those who struggle with anxiety or over stimulation. I don't rush, overwhelm, or force; I lead with patience, consistency, and quiet confidence so a dog can relax and trust the walk. I also have deep experience caring for senior dogs. I recently said good bye to our family Weimaraner Lexi, who taught me the importance of gentleness, awareness and dignity in every stage of a dog's life. Whether your dog needs confidence building, a steady routine, or thoughtful care tailored to their age and temperament, I treat every dog as an individual-never just another booking. Right now, I'm primarily available on weekends, with some flexibility for weekday evening walks or drop-ins. I'm intentional about my schedule so every visit stays calm, unrushed, and consistent-especially important for anxious dog who rely on routine. My availability will be expanding in the near future as I transition towards pet care as a primary focus. This means increased weekday flexibility and priority scheduling for repeat clients who value long-term consistency. I'll always be clear and upfront about availability before confirming a booking, so there are no surprises-for you or your dog. My home is calm, structured, and safety-focused. Dogs are cared for with clear routines, close supervision, and attention to body language and stress levels. I prioritize consistency so dogs feel secure and know what to expect. This is the same standard I follow with my own Doberman, who receives structured daily walks, routine feedings, constant access to fresh water, and regular training, trust-building exercises, and enrichment puzzles. I keep the environment clean, low-stress, and intentional, so dogs can relax and feel confident while in my care.

About: An enthusiastic dog lover and cat owner for all my life! I currently own one kitty, and am a dedicated foster home for our local cat shelter since 2016, where I have helped raise kittens from birth on multiple occasions. I am also responsible for the care and safety of a variety of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish at my current workplace of 3 years — not to mention all of the pet parents who come into the store with their dogs to visit with! I have so much love and expertise to go around for all felines, canines, and specialty pets! I work my other job on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and get involved occasionally with local volunteer work, but for the most part my schedule is quite open and flexible! If any interested clients prefer to contact me directly regarding availability, I do my best to be very timely in responding to messages. I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on. Though I don't currently board pets to my own home, I always like to ensure I know of every pet's needs in their own home, where their favourite treat is located or keeping their favourite napping spot nice and clean. I can adapt to almost any environment, and once you return it will be such a clean and happy space you might believe I was never there!

“We had a great experience with Ethan! He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. Finlee (our Staffy mix) absolutely loved him — I haven’t seen her smile that big in a while. She was always so excited to see him, and he did a great job getting her nice and tired. He really takes the time to understand her personality and needs, which makes us feel safe and confident leaving her in his care. We’re definitely looking forward to booking more walks and dog sitting with him! We would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for services. Thank you again Ethan!”

About: I’m a proud pet owner of Molly the cat and was a dog mom of almost 14 years. I lost my little Ollie (yes, Molly and Ollie) Jan 2021 just after having my sweet girl. Not quite ready to “move on” and get another pup just yet but can’t imagine my life without dogs in it! So what better way to fill that void, but to love on and care for all your sweet doggos! Recently back from mat leave, but working remote/WFH. I take my daughter on a few walks a day so flexible during most days. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are the easiest. Saturdays and Sundays are usually good too! Best times are 7-8am, after 1pm, 5pm and after 7pm. Tuesdays I am available before 8am and after 6pm and Thursdays vary. Fur babies are family too! I have a fully fenced yard, lots of dog treats, a few dog beds and cat to keep your fur babies company! I live in a home with my husband, my parents and my 10 month old baby. We are all huge animal lovers and are all comfortable with routine feedings, walks, and even bathing. I personally don’t mind dogs on the bed but happy to crate if requested.

About: I don't know how to begin to explain my experience, but let’s start with my professional background I’m a graduate from Sir Stanford Fleming college in the Ecosystem Management Technology Program. I also have my Structural Exterminator Pesticide License. I'm an environmentalist and I do volunteer wildlife rescue work as well. I've had a variety of animals as pets my whole life, including dogs/puppy's, cats/kittens, fish, birds, and hamsters. When I was about 11 years old I was the neighborhood dog walker for many years, now I've watched my college roommates bearded dragon. I'm constantly asked to watch our friends pets. Now I have my two elderly dogs that take more delicate watching, one is a 10 year old senior dog has a torn ACL and I need to help her in and out of vehicles, watch to ensure she doesn't jump, run or do any movement that could hurt her more. I did have to administer orally her medication for two months after the incident. Then I have my 15 year senior old dog that got a disease that made him lose all balance, I've re-taught him how to walk, now he just needs help with going up and down the stairs, in and out of vehicles, turning all lights on for his balance. Also he's now going deaf and stubborn, so sometimes you have to re-direct him instead of calling him. I’ve also had to administer medication with him as well, which is no longer on. I also have experience with reactive dogs, my one dogs developed a food aggression, which was later trained out. My other dog is reactive to dogs, which has led my other dog to be reactive with them as well. I love my babies and would do anything for them, just like I treat any animal I encounter, as I would treat yours too. The animal always comes first. I’m currently in the middle of seeking employment, so I have an enormous amount of available time currently. Depending on the weekends, I can be available on the weekends, but I’m certainly available during the week. I have a fenced in property that I allow my dogs to use, I also bring my dogs around Angus. If my dogs weren’t reactive with other dogs I would use the dog park close to me.

About: Over 30 years of experience, I've had both big and small dogs and cats. I have volunteered many hours at the SPCA walking dogs throughout the years. We currently own a Red Heeler mix named Bongo born 24 Nov 2016. We rescued him from Colorado Puppy Adoption. He has been a perfect fit to our family. We exercise and socialize with many new dogs almost every day, never displaying any aggression but the exact opposite, happy happy. I like to keep active and have plenty of time on my hands as I am a stay at home Father. I am married with a 7 year old daughter who stops to pet every dog she sees on the street. Look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. I prefer mornings before it gets too hot. I’m a house husband and a father so have a lot of flexibility around my schedule….. word. I have a fenced yard a mini Van with the seats out so I can transport animals around very easily if the need arises. I could do pick ups and drop offs.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Donna! I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away.

I treat every dog like part of the family and do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood with beautiful walking trails, parks, and green space nearby. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog receives lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, family environment. Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch, sleep on their own bed, or use a crate if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Family Home My home includes young children (ages 1–6), so I’m best suited for dogs who are friendly around kids.

About: I have loved and taken care of animals since age 10 - when I welcomed my first bunny for my 10th birthday. Since then I have also taken care of hamsters, birds, dogs, and cats. I am an expert in providing an environment where they can be comfortable and profusely loved, but I do not forget firm discipline where necessary. I am fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting but I do require at least a 2-day notice. Additionally, I am available for walks and drop-ins all weekday evenings, anytime after 7 PM. At my client's home I have the best practices of pet- and property-handling honed down, which will keep both the client's pet(s) and property (as well as myself) safe and happy at all times. I trust that I will be provided with all the information I need to satisfy any expectations from my hosts during my visits. At my own home, I have two cats, but I have enough space and accommodations to keep my client's pet(s) separated and happy as necessary.
