Dog Sitting Guelph

About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and a genuine love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, from playful and energetic to calm and reserved. I pay close attention to behaviour, routines, and cues, making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I approach every dog with patience, responsibility, and care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I work part-time with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, accommodating last-minute requests, or spending extra time with your pet, I’m able to prioritize their care and ensure they receive reliable, attentive support. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to behaviour and surroundings, making sure pets are safe at all times, whether that means secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, or keeping a calm and clean environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience where pets feel cared for and owners feel reassured.

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs, I very much miss having my own. I have been looking after friends’ dogs for several years now, but my friends just don’t travel enough! I am beyond happy to look after dogs in any way possible. I work until 2:30 on weekdays, and am happy to do walks or afternoon checks on dogs. I also happy to do overnights on weekdays if the dog can be alone during the day. Weekends are available for full day in-home care. I am happy to follow any instructions needed in the home to keep your pooch happy and healthy. Long walks are no problem, and I can ensure any specific instructions will be followed.

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, who have taught me even more about patience, trust, and unconditional love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, providing enrichment, and making sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My promise is simple: every dog I care for will be treated like family, every single visit. Hi, I’m Tracy! Dogs have always been one of the greatest joys in my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As the proud owner of two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, I understand that every dog is unique, with their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make every walk a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves energetic adventures, leisurely neighbourhood strolls, or simply spending time with someone who truly enjoys their company, I’ll tailor each visit to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog with the same patience, kindness, and respect that I give my own. When your dog is in my care, you can expect dependable service, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, reinforce your dog’s normal routine, ensure they have fresh water after their walk, and send you photo updates and a detailed Rover Card so you always know how their visit went. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing exceptional care from day one and earning your trust through reliability, professionalism, and genuine compassion. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I proudly serve Guelph and the surrounding area, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. Whether you’re looking for regular weekday walks or occasional help when life gets busy, you can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you—and treating every dog like family, one walk at a time. When you trust me with your dog, you’re choosing someone who truly loves and respects animals. I provide dependable, personalized care, treating every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make every walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. You can count on me to be reliable, punctual, compassionate, and committed to giving your furry family member the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals! One of my earliest “jobs” was pet sitting for friends and family, whether walking dogs while they were at work or housesitting for dogs and cats alike.

“I would actively say that Gina is the dog whisperer- my dog does not like going out with dog walkers and after the first meet, she was enthusiastic about going out with Gina. So grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of my dogs!”

About: The personalized care and genuine love I give to every dog I look after. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Working in the animal medical industry gave me the knowledge I needed I treat every pup like they’re my own—with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! I also believe communication is important, so I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, dog sitting isn’t just a job—it’s about building trust with both dogs and their people. I’m organized, dependable, and able to plan my day around the needs of the dogs I care for. I enjoy having the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention while still maintaining a consistent routine. High fenced in yard Many parks and trails within walking distance Plenty of space in the home where special needs can be accommodated Experience with administrating meds and first aid care

About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop

About: 10+ years of pet care experience. I’ve cared for around 15 dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Bernese Mountain Dogs—and grew up with lots of dogs in my home, including one with medical needs. I understand how to balance fun, affection, and responsible care to make sure your pet feels safe and happy.

I'm flexible to adapt my routine to your dog's needs, and can care for dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I am a student in my last year at UofG, which leaves my schedule quite flexible! Most days I only have one evening class, and I do some freelance work online, so I am home most of the day. My house is clean, non-smoking, and child free with a fenced yard and no other pets, so your dog will have a safe, calm environment and my full attention. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you provide to help them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and tidy. I make sure your space is left exactly as I found it, and I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.

“Emily was so kind to come and look after our pup with little notice. She provided pupdates throughout the time she spent with him and ensured us they were doing well. Thanks so much Emily, we know Fin will love to have you come play again soon.”

About: I have cared for dogs & cats for over 20 years. I have potty trained dogs, walked dogs, & provided medication to dogs. I can also take care of both puppys or senior dogs, as well as cats. I love animals & spend lots of quality time with them. Im working hybrid and available 3 days a week plus weekend. I can take your dog for walks if I am working from home or on the weekends.

About: I 've been a dog owner for most of my life, growing up with family pets and later caring for dogs of my own. Spending time on a farm has also given me hands-on experience with a variety of animals, including dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Before our current dog, we had a rescue for about 8 years, so I understand the patience and care needed for dogs with anxiety or fearfulness. Creating a calm, safe, and reassuring environment is something I take seriously. I genuinely love helping other pet owners feel confident that their dogs are well cared for when they can't be home - whether that means providing a comfortable place to stay or getting them out for a fun, energizing walk during the day. I understand how stressful it can be to leave pets at home during the work day or when you go on vacation. I enjoy staying active and love walking or running with dogs, so your pup can get as much exercise and attention as they need. Our current dog is very friendly, used to having other dogs around, and would be thrilled to have a playmate. I work from home 3 out of 5 days a week but my schedule is flexible. Our dog is accustomed to being fed morning and night and is happy to be walked any time of the day or to roam our property. My yard is not fenced but we live on acreage so our dog tends to roam freely. For dogs who may not do well roaming we can use a leash or a rope to keep them safe. Happy to cater to pets needs to create a safe and happy environment in our home or theirs.
