Dog Sitting Grimsby

About: I cared for my cockapoo Lola for 8.5 years and regularly boarded friends' dogs. I know how to read a dog – what's genuine curiosity versus stress, what environmental triggers to watch for, and when a dog needs engagement versus rest. I keep dogs happy and engaged, whether that's through play, exploration, or more quiet quality time together :) I'm a scientist on a planned career break. I’m available full time, genuinely attentive, and happy to give your dog my undivided focus during our time together. Routines are respected, boundaries are honoured, and your dog is treated as family. Your dog's happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priority. I provide walks and potty breaks as often as you request, monitor behaviour closely, and keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. I'll keep detailed notes on feeding schedules, routines, and any specific expectations you share. I'm happy to check in as often as you'd like – just let me know what works best for you and I'll make it happen.

About: Our whole family loves dogs. I have done dog training courses in the past when I got our puppy. They covered walking techniques, confidence, positive reinforcement, obstacle courses, and calm speech. It was so rewarding being able to communicate and recognize dog behavior. Puppies to seniors, all are welcome. Plenty of love and attention! I’m currently doing this full time, so I have plenty of time for your furry family member. My schedule is flexible for the range of services I provide. So, please contact me with any questions . I have a fully fenced yard. Im close to the Bruce trail so nature walks are easy get to. So we’ll be getting a lot of exercise and stimulation.

“Teresa took on my Persian cats with an open heart and they were so comfortable around her. She is so great with animals and takes the time to allow them to warm up. Both my cats need pills and she took on the high maintenance kitties with pleasure! And took time to play with them! This took so much stress and worry off my shoulders. We are so thankful to Teresa! And will be booking her again!”

“Abir was a fantastic cat sitter! Our cats were so well looked after and she kept us very well informed the whole time we were away. It's clear that she has a true love for animals.”

About: For the last 10 years, I have taken care of animals of my own as well as neighbour's and friends. Dog walking and sitting feels as if it’s second nature! As I currently work a flexible schedule, there are times during the week and weekend where I am completely free to walk. Having a companion to walk with would make it even better! I have two dogs and a cat that are all well behaved and completely spoiled. We have a fenced in back yard along with a lower unit that is separate from the other dogs if need be.

About: Hi everyone. My name is Rachel, I am Beamer - a mini bernedoodle’s mom. He is our only baby in the house. I have always had a dog in the house, my family used to have a retired k-9 German Shepard, and my mom has two toy poodles that I had taken care of for 6 years. My neighbours, family and friends all know that I am a big dog person , also an animal lover. As a world traveller myself, I understand how important it is to find a right person to take care of our fur babies. I have met some amazing dog sitters here, and now I am ready to contribute as your last minute dog walker or day care person. Can’t wait to meet my new furry friends! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I walk my dog at least 4 times a day, plus some play time in the park or our yard. I have a fenced yard and my boy Beamer will keep your baby company. Beamer is super friendly, gentle, he loves to play with some dogs, sometimes he just does his own thing. Your dog is allowed in the house as I will be with the dogs all the time:)

About: • Graduated from Brock University in June 2021, received a Bachelor of Science with specialization in behavioral neuroscience. • My dog Otto is a 5-year old Australian cattle dog/Beagle mix rescued and adopted from a shelter in Cayuga • He is a huge part of my life and has given me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in my studies at Brock to the real world • My goal is to gain more experience handling and caring for dogs of a variety of sizes/ages/breeds • I was always around animals growing up and now see Rover as a way to share my expertise and compassion in the field of animal care • Most importantly, I'll make sure you feel confident and relaxed that I am caring for your best friend. I joined Rover because it's the perfect way to combine my love of animal psychology and spending time in the outdoors I'm currently working fewer hours so I have an open schedule to care for and exercise your pets. I'm quite flexible and can also accommodate unconventional hours, such as early morning or late at night. I cannot currently accommodate animals on my property as it is not fenced in. However, I'm more than happy to exercise and play with your pets in your yard, or one of your approved parks/walking trails with my own transportation available.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a young girl owning many dogs throughout my life. I’ve had golden retrievers, miniature poodles, yorkies and Maltese. Neighbours, friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their fur babies. We always have so much fun. I live in an area with lots of trials and space to run! I have a Vulnerable Sector Check, which is an upgraded Police Check. I am currently not working and have a passion for animals. I am available almost days, morning afternoons and evenings. I would be a great companion for your dog or cat and I can’t wait to get to know them! I have one senior dog that lots to be around other dogs—but sometimes he likes to take his afternoon naps! I have a lot of trials surrounding my house in Smithville and a dog park near by. Perfect for spending the afternoon throwing the ball and enjoying the outdoors!

About: I've had over 15 years of personal pet care experience, with cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and fish. I am a high school teacher who just loves animals! I studied animal physiology and behaviour during my biology degree, which is an asset in pet care. I'm very observant and understand the importance of monitoring animal's for a change in behaviour. I am very responsible and reliable, with a strong background in childcare (ages 3-18) as well. I have walked/overnight sat big and small dogs/cats countless times! I genuinely love and care for all animals (so much so I'm a vegetarian... although I'm good serving dogs with raw diets)! I also love to be active and am free from physical health issues. I am fully vaccinated. I'm free evenings and weekends to care for and play with your pet! I work regular day school hours (8am-3pm). I'm more than happy to care for your pet in my free time. Pets I care for are my first priority. I like to ensure the animal feels comfortable and safe enough with me before starting a walk or playtime. Once I see the animal is ok having me in their space, I will walk or play with them.

“Alex was awesome! Would absolutely be our go-to again next time we go away!”

About: I was a certified canine coach at Dogtopia in Burlington for over 2 years and now working with the humane society as an animal care technician in st Catherine’s. I also volunteer with Bark at the moon dog rescue as a bark counsellor. With the rescue, I support the fosters with their new foster dogs and recommend training based off behaviours. love all animals-big and small and hope you chose me to look after your fur baby! I have recently moved to the area and am looking forward to making new fur friends lol! My schedule right now will change weekly due to starting new job at Humane society but I hope I can make something work. I will post my monthly schedule when I get it! I love all dogs like their my own and make sure they are always safe! I always go the extra mile because I know I would want someone to do the same for my dog Dexter. I love fast paced walking to burn off my own dogs energy and can do the same for your dog if they need that!

“Athena was awesome on our drop in visit— really good communication and lots of adorable pics of our pup! Im a very nervous dog owner and would 100% book her again :)”
