“We would highly recommend Naomi! Naomi had been walking our new rescue dog for weeks. Despite his high energy, she's been so good with him, keeping us in the loop on what happened during the walk, giving us tips and helping us find a better harness for him. Her dog knowledge is exceptional! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Naomi for your pet 🙂”
About: I come from a pet loving family. We have owned 2 dogs and 5 cats. I have 6+ yrs experience working for a vet hospital and for a pet sitting and dog walking company. I work as a full-time teacher for the Peel District School board but am available for dog walks and or drop ins for cats in the evenings and boarding in my home on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a bungalow. I have two male italian greyhounds - a 10lb 4r old named Moose and a new pup named Luigi. Both dogs are friendly with other dogs and people. We live in a dog friendly neighbourhood backing onto a park.
About: I have always been around animals, throughout my entire life. I have dog sit and walked a variety of dogs, from Chihuahuas to American Bullies. I have a lot of energy to play with energetic dogs, and am very patient. I love to be organized and keep note of everything I need to properly take care of your pet, as well as stay attentive to keep them safe. I am currently in university, however my hours are flexible and only fall on two days. Either way we can work around with what you need and I am very lenient. I believe that different pets require different needs, and I would like to provide a comfortable and safe environment. This includes: Frequent walks and potty breaks, time to play, food and dietary needs, medication necessities, and if your animal likes affection, I would more than welcome that.

About: Hello furry families! my name is Sofia, and I’m a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and creating a safe, loving environment for them while their owners are away. I offer a range of pet-sitting services, including feeding, fresh water refills, walks, playtime, companionship, litter box or clean-ups, and I am always happy to follow any specific routines or care instructions provided by you. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to maintain their normal schedules and comfort levels. I have experience caring for animals in both home and shelter environments. I’ve worked at animal shelters, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, enrichment activities, and helping animals feel calm and secure. In addition, I’ve regularly cared for pets belonging to family members and friends, providing daily walks, playtime, and general care. These experiences have helped me become attentive to different pet personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. I am patient, responsible, and observant, and I take pride in making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with them, whether that means energetic play or quiet companionship. In terms of availability, I currently have flexible availability and can dedicate quality time and attention to pets throughout the day, as well as nights if needed they can stay with me. This allows me to be reliable with visits, walks, and extended care, and to adjust to each pet’s needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands. I have open availability, for both mornings and nights! I understand each family is different therefore I’m flexible to accommodate time for the furry friends. Depending on your schedule we could arrange occasional care or consistent full-time care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I make sure all harmful items are secured, windows and doors are safe, and pets have a quiet space to relax. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, play, and rest, to help them feel at ease. I keep their area clean, monitor their behavior and well-being, and make sure they feel cared for, safe, and comfortable throughout their stay.

“Jenn has been amazing with our dog Pancho. She is very patient and caring, and you can clearly see how much she enjoys spending time with him. She is also extremely reliable and always respectful. We feel very comfortable knowing Pancho is in such good hands and highly recommend her.”
“Peter is just WONDERFUL! Friendly, outgoing, considerate & the perfect companion to our golden retriever. We reached out to Peter to walk Moose every day we were on vacation, met him ahead of time (passed the Moose that with flying colours) & trusted him immediately. Moose's morning schedule meshed with Peter's; we received daily updates with the cutest pictures. Peter is open & kind, his live of dogs is obvious. We will definitely be working with Peter again & recommend him highly!”
“Taryn is truly amazing! I felt instantly comfortable when we first met, and Charlie took to her well! During each walk, her communication with me was outstanding; and she was very accommodating to our expectations! We found someone we could trust with our dog and with our home - which is not always the easiest! Looking forward to re-booking Taryn's services in the future :)”
About: I grew up around dogs, have had dogs all my life and absolutely love them. My mother and aunt were dog breeders, and my uncle was a Chief Inspector for the OSPCA. I am also a dog handler at dog shows in Ontario and have been taking care of dogs for over 20 years. I currently have 2 snuggly pomeranians, who "think" they rule this household, but obviously provide daily laughs and humor. Your fur kids are in good hands and will be loved as though they are my own. They will enjoy frequent breaks and walks as well as cuddles during their time with me. I look forward meeting you and your fur kids to discuss their unique needs as well as our time together.

Julia has been wonderful with my beagle! She is incredibly patient and caring, and my dog felt comfortable with her from day one. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands with someone who takes the time to make her feel safe and happy. We’re so happy to have found Julia and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Jiseon was so amazing at helping with walking our dog. She went out of her way to come a little further to my place. She was accommodating when I needed her to come a different time. She took extra time to take our dog for a little longer walk. She even went further to clean him up before dropping his back to us. Jiseon was so great; I highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
Kadu was so amazing with my pup!!! I am so grateful to have found such a caring and trustworthy dog walker! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pup is in good hands. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a little extra help with their fur baby! 🐾🤍
We’ve had a great experience with Scott as our dog walker! Our 2 year old vizsla absolutely loved him from the jump and is eager to get walking every time Scott picks him up — which is the best possible sign for an owner. Scott makes himself available on short notice, is flexible, reliable and communication has been 10/10. Would highly recommend.
Thanks again Heather! It's such a peace of mind having you help with walking Cosmo while I travel for work. Heather's been helping us walk Cosmo for a few years now. She's my go to dog walker. She's on time, great at taking pictures and posting them to the app and always provides updates.
I absolutely recommend Setayesh as a dog walker! Zorro loves their walks 3 times a week so very much & I love how well she communicates - the updates/pictures/videos she sends are BEYOND appreciated. I am so thankful to know that she’s there to walk my pup while I’m at work 😊😊 she cares for him as if he were her own dog and it just means so much!
Sergio and Luz started walking my dogs right after my senior dog injured his back - making their first week really challenging! Even so, they were professional the entire time and sent me detailed updates to let me know how my dogs were doing. They made me feel so much better; I highly recommend them.
Scott has been an excellent walker for Milo! We really needed some extra support for a few weeks and were glad to be able to rely on an experienced dog walker in the neighborhood. We also appreciated his flexibility to accomodate our needs and schedules. Scott took our pup on nice long walks, which gave him tons of exercise, and he greatly enjoyed playing with the other friendly dogs on shared walks. The tail wag says it all - thank you!
Brenda was amazing with my dog, took him on a long walk that tired him out for the rest of the day. She took the time to do tricks with him and give him some loving which is much appreciated. She also took amazing photos and was quick to respond with everything
Abhay gave us a feeling of comfort and trust from the get go. Very punctual, professional and clear in his communication, with a positive attitude. Our dog and cat became fast friends with him and Hero enjoyed his walks with Abhay. We will definitely think of him next time, and highly recommend his services. Thanks Abhay!
Sarah was extremely professional and very communicative! We had an outstanding experience with Sarah and recommend her services very highly! She was on time, walked our dog for the specified time even in inclement weather and was a pleasure to work with. Book her for your pet needs!
