Doggy Day Care Loyalist

About: I've been caring for small dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love giving them attention they deserve. I have experience with different small breeds and understand their unique needs and personalities. Friends, neighbors and family gave trusted me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their little pups, My goal is to make every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners away. I'm a stay-at-home mom with one toddler and a small Maltipoo, so I'm home most of the day with plenty of time to give your pup attention and care. My days are filled with playtime, walks, and cuddles, and I'd love to include your dog in our fun, loving routine. I'm also available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays. I have a safe, clean home and a friendly Maltipoo who loves other small dogs. Your pup will be part of a calm and loving family environment, getting plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved - just like they're at home.

“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”

“I highly recommend Lisa for anyone needing a caring and reliable sitter for their furry friend. She and her family took excellent care of my dog. They were incredible and took care of him as their own . Communication was excellent too; I received regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my dog was happy and well-cared for. He will surely see them again for sure.”

“Had a wonderful experience with Heather!! She kept me in the loop about my puppy and was very warm and kind. My dog came home happy and calm. Will definitely take her back :)”

About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.

“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”

“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”

About: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised. I recently retired and I am looking for ways to stay active and dog walking is an activity that I enjoy. We currently have our own dog and he loves companions when appropriate. If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.

“Kirti and her husband were Greta with my dog Cooper - good communication, lots of pictures from his day, and flexible when my plans changed. Would book again!”

“Kelsey was amazing from the get go! We have no hesitation in returning! Very stress free knowing we found a terrific sitter! Thank you to Kelsey and Rover.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I also fostered a court-rescue dog through the SPCA for over a year, giving me valuable experience with anxious and nervous pets. I’m experienced with rescue dogs, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I have a calm, pet-friendly cat at home and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. Friends and neighbours regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. 🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a fully fenced grass yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Since I have a resident cat who is very laid back, I primarily welcome guest dogs who are already comfortable and friendly with feline companions. Because I am currently based at home, I can offer constant supervision and a consistent routine that mirrors your pet's life at home. Whether I am boarding a dog or visiting a cat for a drop-in, I focus on personalized care, ensuring they are well-exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention. My background with rescue animals means I am highly observant of body language, so I’m always making sure every pet feels relaxed and at ease, whether we’re relaxing in the garden or out for a walk.

About: Hi, I’m Elsa! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and people in my community since I was 16 years old, and it’s truly one of my greatest passions. I live in Kingston in a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for pets of all sizes. I happily welcome both small and large dogs, as well as cats and other small animals. 👩🏻‍💻 I work from home full-time, so your pets will rarely be left alone. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. 💕 I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and turtles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. Every pet has its own personality, and I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. When your pet stays with me, I care for them as if they were my own. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or not-so-furry!) family member and give them all the love and care they deserve. ❤️ MY SERVICES • Boarding in my home (all sizes welcome) • Drop-in visits at your home • Daily walks • Available days, evenings, and overnight • Short- and long-term stays • Medication administration if needed • Full-time work-from-home supervision Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles (not just before and after work). I enjoy keeping pets on their usual routine and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about their habits, favourite activities, energy level, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. For dogs, that might mean walks, outdoor play, games, or simply relaxing together. For cats, it could be quiet company, playtime when they feel like it, or respecting their space. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. When pets stay in my home, they also have access to a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is simple: to make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”

About: Dear pawrents, I have taken care of dogs since I have memory. When I was born, a beautiful German shepherd was brought home and we grew up together, since then, my love for dogs (and all animals) is inexplicable. I have taken care of my own dogs (Belgian and German shepherd, lab, schnauzer, dachshund, mixed, etc.). I have taken care of senior dogs with different needs (medication, carrying them to walk, etc.) and some dogs with diseases such as chronic seizures, cancer and arthritis. As a pet owner myself, I totally get it! Our pets aren't just pets, they're family. And that's why I'm on a mission to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. I'm currently working in a remote (work from home) position, so I have availability to take care of your puppy/ies during the day. I’m available for boarding during the weekends with some breaks in between so I can take care of my own dogs. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets while respecting the routines and preferences set by the owners. Here's how I typically approach it: - Initial Consultation: I start by scheduling an initial consultation with the owners to discuss their dog's needs, routines, feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific instructions or preferences they may have. - Visits: During my visits, I ensure that the dogs have access to food, water, and a clean environment. I follow their feeding schedule and provide any necessary medications or supplements as instructed by the owners. - Exercise and Playtime: I engage the dogs in regular exercise and playtime sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could include walks, play sessions in the backyard, or games indoors (depending on the weather). - Potty Breaks: I take the dogs out for regular potty breaks according to their usual schedule, ensuring that they are comfortable and their living space remains clean. - Updates and Communication: Throughout my time with the dog(s), I maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. - Security and Safety: I take measures to ensure the security and safety of the home, such as checking that doors and windows are securely locked and being mindful of any potential hazards in the environment. Overall, my goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to dogs in their own familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”

“Our dog took to Peter right away! Steeler had a blast playing with Peter’s dog and we were entirely comfortable with Peter’s care for a day. He was flexible and responsive too. No hesitations to recommend his services.”

About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.

About: I currently walk and watch my friends dog. It is a pleasure I always look forward to and to spend time with him. I do not have a dog at the moment but I used to before he passed. Growing up we had cats in our household. I mostly enjoy taking dogs out for walks, playing with them and spending time with them. I enjoy being around animals, it makes my day that much better! I am full of energy myself so I am able to match that of your pets! Getting your dogs energy out, I can do that! I am new to this program but not new to taking care of dogs and cats. I am very enthusiastic about this program and want to help others out. Working from home I have the flexibility to fit in primarily dog walking throughout the day. That also gets me out and off the the computer for a break! I will listen to the clients needs and wants and provide the care for their pet that they want. I am here to help out.
