Bradley has been such incredible help for walking and caring for our dog. She can be an anxious and « too » excited girl but they made a great connection and within a week they developed full trust. You can tell that Brad really loves and cares for dogs and I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Thea is Franks favourite! My golden loves walks with Thea and just the excitement he has when she arrives is adorable. Thea is always very communicative, trustworthy, kind, and they always cover *a lot* of ground together - I always end up with a happy and tired pup! Would aboslutely recommend Thea to anyone.

Dylan was great with our boy Rocco! He took him for a long walk despite the rain which we greatly appreciate. Rocco came home tired and happy. Would definitely recommend Dylan to anyone looking for help with their dog and we will be hiring him again in the future !

Dennis is great with our extremely large puppy. He sends detailed updates on his visits with Mishu while we’re at work and pictures which is always nice! Hes still usually tuckered by the time we get home. Highly recommend.

Polly has been a life saver for us! She's been so helpful when our schedules don't allow us the flexibility to be home with our puppy Darla. Whether it's taking her for walks, or doggy day care to hang out with her wonderful doggo Chester, Polly has been all we could ask for. 100% recommend!

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs for my entire life. Most of my experience comes from raising my two dogs I had growing up. One of whom lived to be 16 with many health issues - including administering medication, carrying him due to limited mobility, and supporting him during seizures. I’ve worked as a dog sitter, boarding dogs in my home (to both friends and strangers), as well as doing regular check ins for acquaintances pets while they were away. This always includes a walk or two, feeding and watering, lots of cuddles and affection, whatever grooming may be required. I am currently a Masters of Science in Education student, hoping to become an Elementary teacher. I’m looking for some opportunities to care for some pets while I finish my studies. My program is completely remote, which allows me to be at home with your pet for the whole day. I go for regular walks and rarely go away on weekends. I live in a residential neighbourhood with a fenced in yard. I love to spend time outside and walk to Gage park or down by the waterfront. I have two cats who are about 9 years old, and are quite used to dogs being around. They prefer to mind their own business and don’t interact much with dogs in the house.

About: Hi, my name is Ben! I am an experienced, responsible, and reliable animal care enthusiast. I offer a variety of services and am happy to work around your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have about my availability or service. I am a lifelong pet owner with a profound love and understanding of animals. I will provide thorough walks and active play. I have experienced with sick and injured animals and can accommodate most pets still in the training process too. I am a sociable person who looks forward to fostering good relationships with both the animals I care for and their owners. I have my own property in central Hamilton that includes a backyard and close proximity to a public park. I have my own vehicle and I can be available for pick-ups, drop-offs, and in-home visits anywhere in the city, and some of the surrounding area. I am a public school teacher with the summer off work. I will have lots of flexibility to help meet your own scheduling needs. I have started accepting new clients as of June. I will be away on some weekends in July and August but am generally available during the week. Although I primarily offer walks and in-home visits, I will also offer short-term boarding in certain cases, for both dogs and cats (I will be upfront about any other animals in my care in case that is a concern). I am a homeowner with a fenced-in yard and am located across from a public park. I take care to offer animals the attention and exercise they need to be healthy and happy on a daily basis.

About: I have 10+ years of caring for animals. From reactive chihuahuas to couch potato great danes, I’ll give them a run for that treat for sure! We can go to a park nearby or be good companions when mom/dad are away & it’s thunderstorming. Fun fact: I worked as a Zookeeper at a Reptile Zoo through my studies, so if I can handle feeding a crocodile, your bigger dog won’t frighten me thats for sure! During home stays, I can also help you with other pets (birds, fish, reptiles), water your plants/flowers etc upon request, let’s chat about it! I am working a job with a flexible schedule, if your dog likes walks in the morning or requires a pee break in the afternoon while you’re working, or someone to stay with your indoor pets for a night or two while you’re on a trip, I am open to it all. To maintain safety and trust with both the pets and their owners, Its key to have open communication & respect. I believe it is crucial to have clear expectations so your pets are still in routine and the owner’s mind is at ease while they are in my responsibility temporarily. I have worked as a special needs support worker in my daily life, I understand the importance of trust when families need a hand with taking care of loved ones (yes, pets are loved ones too)

About: I have been a dedicated animal lover my entire life and have spent several years providing care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it is ensuring a energetic puppy gets enough playtime or providing a gentle, calm environment for a senior pet, I prioritize their physical and emotional well-being above all else. My approach is rooted in patience and observation; I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and communication style. What sets me apart is my meticulous attention to detail—I am highly organized and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am comfortable managing medication routines, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing the extra cuddles and stimulation that pets crave when their owners are away. I am truly passionate about creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for every animal I look after. I maintain a highly structured and reliable daily routine, which allows me to provide consistent care for your pets. As a university student, my schedule is flexible and well-managed, meaning I can easily accommodate multiple visits, long walks, or dedicated playtime throughout the week. I treat pet care as a significant responsibility, and I ensure that my calendar is always updated so that your pet’s needs are met right on time, every time. Safety is my highest priority when caring for pets. Whether in your home or mine, I am vigilant about maintaining a secure environment, ensuring all gates are latched, hazardous items are out of reach, and environmental temperatures are comfortable. I am always happy to follow specific house rules or safety protocols you have established. I believe that open communication is the foundation of trust; I make it a point to provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I am fully committed to respecting your home and, most importantly, ensuring your pet feels happy, safe, and loved under my watch.

Cameron was our first experience with a dog walker and I must say he set the bar high. He was quick to respond and very communicative. As he was a new person to our dog she was hesitant at first but took to walking with him very quickly. He was kind and enthusiastic with Bucky and made her feel right at home. We will definitely be using him again!
