Lauryn is a total gem. Our dog loved her instantly, which made me feel at ease. Lauryn was professional and kind during our meet and greet, and confident with our girl who is a high-energy, leash-reactive GSD mix. We came home to a happy, sleepy pup. I definitely recommend Lauryn.

MJ is wonderful! Her deep understanding of dog behavior and training put us completely at ease, especially given our dog’s reactivity. She’s reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We always felt total peace of mind knowing our pup was in her care. Highly recommend!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I’ve learned a lot about how to care for them throughout all stages of their lives. I am currently working full time in Guelph but have an open schedule to be able to have plenty of time to care for your pets in the evenings and weekends. I treat your pets like my own. I will happily follow any guidelines you provide in addition to safety and attention. I have a fenced in yard that my roommate’s dog would love to play with yours!

About: HELLO ☺️🌞 Get to know me! I’ve been caring for my own Shih Tzu since I was 10 years old. He’s now a senior, so I’m very comfortable supporting the needs of older dogs. I also have two cats at home, so I’d be delighted to care for cats as well! I truly adore both dogs and cats. In the past, I’ve dog-sat for neighbours and love spending time outdoors, which makes me the perfect fit if you’re looking for a reliable dog walker or sitter. 🐾 I’m currently working a part-time serving job that occupies my evenings, so I have a generous amount of time in the day to dog sit or dog walk (applies to cats as well). My availability ranges from the mornings (8-9am) ((early if needed)), up until 3 PM and can come more than once during the day. The care I provide is always personalized based on how your pet reacts to new people. I’m patient and gentle, giving them space to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’ll also be attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while in your home.

About: Hi! I’m Sydney 👋 I’ve had dogs in my life since I was six years old, and honestly, I can’t picture a world without them. I’ve grown up loving, training, and caring for pups of all personalities—snuggly couch potatoes, playful adventurers, and everything in between. I’ve even practiced agility training with my own dogs! What sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs—I bond with them, keep their routines consistent, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for (with plenty of love and belly rubs too!). When your dog’s with me, they’re part of the family 🐶🩵 During the week, I’m done work by 3pm, so I’ve got plenty of time for walks, hangouts, and cuddles in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends! Mon–Wed I’m in the office, but Thu/Fri I work from home (and can even work from your place if that helps!) Weekends are wide open for walks, playtime, and overnight stays 🐾 I can also do overnight care during the week—just keep in mind I head to the office Mon–Wed during the day. Outside of work hours, your pup gets my full attention for snuggles, walks, and love! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always safety, comfort, and consistency. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine—mealtimes, walks, play, and rest—so they feel secure and at ease. I keep a close eye on doors, leashes, and gates to make sure pets stay safe, and I always check in with owners about special needs, medications, or house rules. In your home, I do my best to keep things tidy and respect your space, while making sure your pup feels loved and cared for like they’re my own.

I work from home and my mom’s a homemaker. Both mom and I have plenty of time to take care of pets and we both love spending time with dogs! I have a super friendly 4 year old female spayed goldendoodle at home who is very welcoming and gives great company to new pets. I also have 41 inch crate if required.

About: My family has had many different breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. I always helped with feeding and bathing them, and when I grew older, I took it upon myself to train and care for them. I also consistently take care of my friends dog whenever she is unable to due to her long work days, and I have been doing so for about a year now. I currently work at a local ice cream shop but I’m always off on Sundays and Mondays. On Fridays and Saturdays I work evenings, and the rest of the week I work afternoons and evenings I have a fenced yard, and my street is very quiet. Mainly families and elderly folk living here. There is a trail and a park nearby for walking pets, and I do not have a crate or dog bed, but I allow dogs on my bed, couch, etc.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently also have a bunny back home in Mexico. while I haven't worked as a professional pet sitter before, I love animals deeply and feel extremely comfortable around them. Being with pets has always brought me joy and comfort, and I'm excited to start helping others by caring for their furry family members.

I'm available Monday to Thursday to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy day care exclusively at the owner's home.

On weekends, I offer house sitting, giving your pet loving, attentive care while you're away. I'm flexible with timing and always make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and relaxed. My goal is to care for them with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I respect every pet's routine and every client's space. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and give your pets calm, loving companionship. I know how much they mean to your family, so I'll care for your pets with the same gentleness and dedication I would for my own loved ones.
