Dog Sitting Guelph

About: I have had experience taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. My best friends had four legs and I saw them well into their senior years. I have adopted my own Rio and he has filled my heart with so much love. Animals really are angels 💕 I work remotely at my own pace so I have time throughout the day to enjoy the beautiful nature and what better way than to have some great company join too! In my clients home I respect the home I am in and only keep to the places that I need to be. I always leave the home clean and tidy. I give your pets the space they need in order to get comfortable with me. After all it is their home and I’m the guest.

“Clear and timely communication, and nice update on how the drop in and walk went. Kai was happy to get in some bonus ball throws in backyard too 😃”

About: I grew up with both a dog and cat, I have extensive experience caring for both. I have experience administering medication and post surgical care. I can cater to the needs of every unique pet! I can take care of your pets on the weekend and throughout the week! I am studying environmental science at the University of Guelph. I have a part-time job but I am quite flexible. I have lots of experience with pets and I will give your pets the cuddles (or space!) that they need. I recognize that the needs of every pet is different and I can be a playful playmate or the quiet cuddle buddy.

“John was absolutely phenomenal as a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. He took the time to understand Leo’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which gave me immediate peace of mind. He made consistent visits and put in extra effort to make sure Leo felt comfortable, cared for, and never lonely. Throughout the stay, John provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which really reassured me that Leo was in great hands. When I returned, Leo was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had formed a strong bond with him. It was obvious that John truly cares and treats the dogs he watches like his own. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: I have years of experience with animal care, having pet-sat for many families and pet owners over the last 10 years, as well as in more established settings such as vet clinics and animal rescues. I also grew up and have lived alongside animals for most of my life. I have experience with animals ranging from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to farm animals (pigs, donkeys, sheep, etc.) and am confident in my ability to care for and love your companions. I grew up with rescue animals and understand they can sometimes have their quirks and need a little extra patience. The animals in my family have included seniors, a diabetic cat, and rescues who were very fearful and took time to feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be anxious, reactive, or not easily handled, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and loved. Some of my specific skills and experiences include: - Experience with grooming and nail trimming for house pets (and often asked by owners to help with this for their own animals) - Caring for injured animals or those with special needs (with guidance from owners or vets) - Experience administering basic medications, including pills, injections, and oral syringes - Comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication schedules - Experience working at wildlife and animal sanctuaries - Volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic - Confident and calm when handling animals - Strong understanding of animal body language and behaviour The rates on my profile are just suggestions. I don't often have a set rate as I prefer to find something that works for both of us, so please still reach out and we can chat about it! I work numerous casual jobs and so I have a very flexible schedule which I can work around and adjust based on my pet-sitting schedule. I believe I offer a very safe and comforting environment for the pets I sit, whether at their home or mine. I've been told I give off a very caring energy that makes people and animals feel safe and like they con trust me. As an anxious person myself, I really care about your pet feeling safe, comfy, and at ease.

“Marlo has watched our 2 senior cats a few times and we have been so happy with her services! She has been very attentive to their needs and one especially, since she requires medication. We never had any worries and were at ease with our cats in Marlo’s care. Would recommend 100% !”

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.

“Lakshmi is great! She took really good care of my newly adopted golden doodle who is new to the city. He loved her. Will definitely book with her again in the future :)”

About: Being a zoology undergraduate student, loving and caring for your pets will come naturally to me. I also have a lot of dog volunteering experience! I am an undergraduate student currently so weekends would be completely free for me including most weekdays except Monday's and Wednesday’s. I will be free evenings on Monday and Wednesday, and all day the rest of the days. I am very attentive and can easily notice small changes in body language and behaviour. I can manage feeding very well and clean up after them.

About: I’ve been animals all my life and have enjoyed an lot, owned 3 dogs in my life I have experience with little puppies all the way to senior dogs.

I may be working online but will be home most of the time. My home has a huge fenced in back yard that is completely safe for your dog. When walking dogs I will make sure to always keep the dog on leash.

“Nova was fantastic and made it so easy. She came for a meet and greet the day before a last minute booking. My pup immediately took to her gentle nature. Hopefully I can book Nova again when we are away. Thank you!”

About: We are your dogs perfect match. Run, walk, or cuddle we can do whatever they like. We have both grown up with family dogs and frequently care for many different breeds. We both have experience with nervous dogs and are aware of the precautions that need to be taken with them. Brandon works from home 2-3 days a week and would be able to watch your dog for the entirety of those days. I work very close to home and would be able to come home at lunch the days Brandon is not at home for a short walk/play session. We are both active and would be able to walk your pet as much as you needed! Our yard is only partially fenced; however, we would take your dog out on a long leash and remain outside with them. We will take them as on as many or little walks as they require, and they can roam the house when alone or we can crate them! We currently do not have any other pets in the home.

“Teya did a great job of looking after my three cats. She was thoughtful and communicated often. I would definitely hire her again, and I highly recommend her! I was confident that my cats were well taken care of by Teya.”

“Patrice was awesome. She was super sweet with Augustus and provided regular updates and photos of him. Will definitely be getting in touch with her for my next trip :)”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was about 12. Friends and family have relied on me to look after their fur-babies for as long as they need me to. I love animals with all my heart, and love to take care of them. I’m currently a University of Guelph student and I’m available anytime throughout the day. As long as I am given specific times you need me for your fur-babies, I will be there. I provide the best care when I know your pet’s schedule. If you leave instructions, I will follow them. If something doesn’t make sense to me, I will ask. If your pet requires special medication that needs to be taken at a specific time or in a specific way, I will do that. The health and safety of your fur-babies is my top priority, and u can expect me to treat them with the utmost respect.

“Thank you so much for your time & care this weekend!! I really appreciated your excellent communication, and promptness, and I know my floofers appreciated the company & exercise.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since a very young age. I have family pups, I’ve volunteered with the SPCA, I’ve fostered dogs and have experience with rescues and I’ve looked after many dogs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. From 85lb Rotties, to Irish Wolfhounds that come up to your waist, to the tiniest Maltipoo! I would love to make your pup feel comfortable, safe and loved! I work from home 3-4 days a week. I also have a dog friendly office and a team that adores canine visitors, so your pup could accompany me to work as well! I would love to bring your pup on long walks, hikes and adventures to ensure they get lots of exercise. I am very gentle and caring with any animal. I adore dogs and would spend all day every day with them if I could! Any dogs in my care would get out for 3-4 walks a day (depending on your pup’s exercise needs). I'm happy to take your pup to a nearby park for exercise and socializing. I've also cared for dogs who aren’t as keen on socializing, so I can take them for walks and avoid other dogs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am both gentle but firm and read situations very well to know how to keep your pup safe and comfortable at all times. Your dog will gets lots of love, affection and attention. I love to encourage play as well as taking it easy and napping!

About: Hi! I’m Sabrina — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats my entire life, including those with special medical or behavioural needs, and I understand just how much love and patience they deserve. I’ve also walked and sat for many dogs - including beagles, shitzus and poodles - over the years and spent time volunteering with the humane society. My professional background includes working for a veterinary association and animal charity, so I’m very knowledgeable about pet care and extremely confident handling pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Fun fact: If you search for the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association on YouTube and watch their pet care videos, those were written, filmed and edited by me! Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, extra snuggles, or just a reliable walking buddy, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I currently work on a hybrid schedule and have Fridays off work, so I could do early mornings or evenings (except Tuesday), and any time on Fridays. However, I may have additional flexibility and can work with you to arrange a schedule that works with you. I will care for your pets exactly how you would. If they have a 7 a.m. breakfast, I can be there. Need a pill? I’ve got them covered. Just provide the details, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own.
