“Shelley has been coming to care for Charlie for about 2-3 years and we couldn’t be happier. We are so lucky to have her. She treats our little guy so well and she is super reliable. Always our first choice. Thank you Shelley!”


“Great company for Tula and Cookie. Thanks for your help!”



About: Hello! I've been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc for many years and in my teen years, a variety of farm animals. I love being around animals and their unique energy & personalities!! I volunteer for a few local animal welfare agencies by helping with their fund raising events, dog walking, dog transport and fostering. I'm available 7 days week, unless I'm on vacation! I am particularly fond of & experienced with senior animals! They deserve even more love & attention in their golden years. I have reliable transportation and I'm available to drop by your home during the day within the Guelph city limits. My husband & I are active and outdoors, year round. Your pup will get as much supervised exercise as you prescribe! Safety and well-being take priority as an animal care-giver. I Make sure my home is pet-proofed for all animals. I appreciate your trust and look forward to hearing from you for a "Meet'N'Greet". Being retired, my schedule is flexible plus I'm an early riser. Your pup can get out early for a walk or to go potty if that is their routine. I find out as much information in advance about the needs and characteristics of your animal companion. I always request a text or phone # I can reach you at in case I have questions while your dog is in my care.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in Lisa’s care! The updates and pictures she sent calmed my nerves! Very communicative and punctual, I would 100% trust Lisa to care for my Kelly again ?”


“Anita B was great for both of my cats while I was away. I appreciate the updates and photos! Thank you Anita, highly recommend you! Veronica”


“I have booked Arghavan twice to check on our senior kitty and she has been great. Will definitely be booking again for our next trip, thank you!”


“Thank you for going above and beyond once again for our Farley Taylor! She's the absolute best and treats our baby like gold. Can't recommend her services enough!”


“Jessylin is very flexible and reliable”


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 a Frenchie and several mixed 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.

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life + have owned quite a few on my own. I have professional dog kennel experience and continue my education often. I have lots of extra time to help out those who can’t find a sitter, I am available any day or time of the week. I will accurately attend to your fur babies needs with love. I can administer medication, brush their fur, play with them and keep them hydrated.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! I have dog groomers and boarders in my family; they must have rubbed off on me! In addition to growing up with cats and dogs, I have independently cared for others' pets. I have experience walking, feeding and providing general care for cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages! I can administer medications (i.e., oral medications, eye drops, topical ointments) to pets, in addition to general grooming. Having previously worked on a regenerative farm, I feel comfortable caring for animals in diverse environments, and can lift over 100lbs. I ensure my quality of care meets owner standards and do not stray from owner instruction! I often have repeat clients. I have a flexible schedule since I currently only work part-time. As a result, I am able to work together to find a time that is accommodating. At this time, I do not live in an area with a fenced-in yard. However, I have access to plenty of green space and trails that allow for regular activity. If an animal is staying at my home, I try to replicate the space (i.e., beds, blankets, toys and bowls) to ensure comfortability and familiarity. Similarly, if I am caring for an animal at the client's home, I will use products that the animal favours. It is important to me that routines are followed (as instructed by the owner) to minimize stress, maintain healthy habits, and promote trust between myself and the animal.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. Over the last 2 years I have been house/dog sitting , boarding and walking dogs for family and friends. I've enjoyed it so much that I decided to expand my group ☺️ 2 daily walks 30+ minutes each, special dietary requirements, baths as necessary or once weekly, dog park visits when allowed I currently work from home and have the flexibility of morning/evening walks as well as throughout the day pee/poo breaks and belly rubs! Weekends are play time for all, dog park!!!! I have a fenced in grass yard with tie out. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Each pup has different needs, I take detailed notes about what is required for your dog to be comfortable and happy during our time together.

About: My wife and I have had dogs and many other pets our entire lives. As animal lovers, we treat our dogs as if they're little humans! We have been through several stages of dog training with our dog and are available to help with training or enforce boundaries as required. We both work from home, meaning we have flexible schedules. We walk our dog 2-3 times per day and take him to the park at least once. We also carve out time for long trail walks or outdoor play sessions on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard that is medium-sized. Our yard and home are very dog-friendly and we have ample space for crates, beds, and whatever else your dog requires!

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.

“Patricia is lovely! Great with her updates and spending time to give the pets some attention as well as the dail routine. My cat requires meds twice a day and she took that on without any issues. Would highly recommend Patricia!”


About: I grew up with a dog and love all animals. I don't have a pet at the moment but I often pet / house sit for friends and family. I enjoy it as it gives me time with their pets and also helps them out. Best of both worlds! Unfortunately I am not able to have a pet where I am currently living but love to meet new animals and care for them through Rover, and for friends / coworkers. I work full time Monday - Friday but am available to walk / watch pets morning / evening and weekends. I am very accommodating and will work with you so that your pets needs at met. I am happy to pet sit and make sure the pet is comfortable while you are away! I am clean, trustworthy and respectful and will take good care of your pet and home.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and I wouldn’t have changed that for one bit. I lived in Bangkok Thailand where I took care of my golden “Hovawart” dog named Kaspar. He was flown over to me as a puppy and I was with him all his life just as he was with me. I learned a lot from this big boy, just as much as he has taught me. (He certainly found out who’s the good boy 😋) I’m a major animal lover and I wish to impart my love for my furry friends to all the animals out there. I’m hoping some day I can adopt another friend in my life. I’m currently a second year student at the university of Guelph with a mediocre level schedule, I’m definitely open to boarding your animals, going on walks and having them over whenever I’ll be home. My schedule works that I’m home everyday from 7pm onwards, I have time every Tuesday and Thursday between 2pm and 5pm and Fridays anytime after 2pm is free. Weekends are perfect for me as I often love to stay in and relax. I have a large house with 4 other roommates on 32 Martin Ave in Guelph. All of my roommates are animal lovers and 3/4 of them currently have or have owned dogs in the past. We would love to have your dog onboard in our space and we wish to share it with them with open arms. I would take special care with your pet and make sure to give them lots of love and pets as they need.

About: I have a dog that my family and I have been looking after for eight years, we also had some other pets in the past like turtles and geckos. I have also looked after cats for friends. I am available for and dog walking and drop-ins for your pet. I also can take care of your pet in your home all day on weekends and I can do drop in's on weekdays mostly the afternoons and evenings. I will care for your dog by making sure they have everything they need and I'll monitor them when I let them outside in a fenced backyard. I'll make sure they don't leave messes in your house on rainy days or when they make messes. I won't leave them unattended while outside.
