“Ethan was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town!! He responded quickly to messages and handled a last-minute booking change with ease. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind :)”

“Jacobe responded very quickly to my last minute request when another sitter had to cancel last minute. He made a trip to meet myself and Millie before the booking was confirmed so we could make sure Millie and I were comfortable with him. He took very good care of both Millie and my friend's dog Buddy, sent lots of photos so we could see how it was going and left everything in great shape, including a couple of tired, happy dogs. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From barn animals, to wild, as well as our indoor furry friends - I’ve mingled with just about every animal in Ontario. I love their personalities and teaching them new tricks - I also have experience working with senior animals and know that they need even more extra love and care. Working with me means working with someone who wants to love your animals just as much as you do! Currently, I’m a freshman in college working towards a graphic design degree! (I also offer design services 😉) I am able to balance my classes quite well - I am available full time in the fall/winter/early spring, along side attending classes. I work a seasonal position in the summer, but would still love to help out with your furry friends! My home has a large fenced in, dog proof yard - plenty of space to run and play. My dogs have made their own daily running route! They obviously get fed daily, as well as walked. There is a large dog friendly park about 5 minutes away from my house as well. Currently, I am also in the process of training one of my dogs at home - so there is some equipment I have that can be used for training (IE - lead, treat bag, training leash, toys, etc)
“I would feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again. I got updates and lots of pictures. The pups seemed happy and in good health when I came home and the house was just as clean as we left it. 10/10”

It's comforting to be able provide peace of mind to my clients and quality care for their animals, while they are out of town.

Most of my clients have left me a rundown of their pet's feeding and walking schedules, any medications they may need and what they enjoy most as well as any additional information that will help me become acquainted with their pet quickly and easily. I follow all directions as given.
About: I have always loved animals. I personally have always had dogs/cats growing up and my family&friends relied on me multiple times to help take care of their pets while away! My current job requires me to care for 2 dogs and a cat all day! I do work full time but am available early in the morning or anytime after 5 on weekdays! During the weekend I do have more flexibility available :) I currently have two cats that have full free roam of my house. I have watched multiple dogs, I do have easy access to a trail for long walks!
“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”

“This is the 3rd time we’ve booked Ash - she’s awesome with our dogs and cat, she has great communication leading up to the visit and while we’re away and the house is really well looked after. Thank you!!”

“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Brittany was such a wonderful puppy sitter! She interacted with our Joy in so many positive ways, from supporting her with lots of T.L.C. during her first time away from us during our holiday, play time, regular dog walks, reinforcing her puppy training and daily photos and updates. We are deeply appreciative of Brittany's warmth and kindness for Joy and ourselves. We send our heartfelt thanks!”

About: I have three years of experience with taking care of and training a large breed reactive dog. I am comfortable dealing with nervous and reactive dogs. I also have 10 years of experience with my small breed family dog as well. I am writer and grad student. I'm currently not working between semesters of school during the summer to focus on my writing, so am really flexible for walking and sitting. I am willing to care for your dog in their home in the way you think is best and based on their normal routine and will always respect your directions.

About: I love animals, how can you not!? I would love nothing more than to provide great care for your furry family member while you’re away. There are lots of great hiking trails close to our house for walks and adventures. I understand the needs of animals and can communicate with them without words. They are magical creatures and deserve all the love. We promise to love on your pet and take the best care in your absence. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. Currently mornings start with a bathroom outing, followed by breakfast, playtime, another bathroom break, a hike and nap time, dinner, wind down, bathroom & bed -repeat : ) Routines are schedule around your existing rules and structures already in place. I have an arsenal of hiking trails and open concept house when your dog can roam and feel at home.
About: Hi, I'm Chelsey! I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience spanning in-home care, board and train programs, and doggy daycares. I share my own home with three dogs and two cats, so animals aren't just my work, they're my life. I'll be honest, I love animals more than most people, and every decision I make during the day is based on what's best for the pets in my care. I'm experienced with a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, prong collars, and Gentle Leader walks, and I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from sweet, wiggly puppies to dogs who prefer not to be touched. I'm doing this because I genuinely love meeting new furry friends, and my long-term goal is to build my own business in the animal care world. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! This would be my career, I would do this full time. I would make my schedule around the best intrest of my clients with flexible hours I have a large fenced in yard, i have a large park across the street from my house my dogs like to play offlwash on (i would have dogs on long lines if I was to bring them there) my husband is hone full time and we would work as a team to care for the animals the way the need. If that means I take my dogs to the park and your pup gets human love thats what we'll do. My dogs are very friendly and go to doggy daycare they are both fixed 1 female 1 male female is 3 this year my boy will be 2. They lost their sister last year and are always looking to make friends.
“Davrielle is a kind and compassionate pet sitter. Davrielle was communicative and responsive throughout her entire 10 day stay at my home. I came back to a happy dog and cat along with a clean lean house. I recommend Davrielle.”

About: Hi, I’m Jaida! If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I love animals and am happiest when I’m around them. I currently work part-time as a dog groomer and previously worked at a dog daycare, where I spent my days supervising, training, and caring for dogs. Those jobs have given me experience working with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and helped me become comfortable handling different behaviours and situations. I also have two large dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’m currently an undergraduate student hoping to build a career working in veterinary medicine. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing or would rather relax beside someone, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them comfortable. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can often make time for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for them. I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow it closely, from feeding schedules to walks and any special instructions you may have. I know being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re gone. My experience in grooming and daycare has taught me how to read dog body language and recognize when a dog is excited, nervous, tired, or needs space. I’ll always pay attention to how your pet is feeling and adjust my approach to what works best for them. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and leave everything the way I found it. I know pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, whether that’s during a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an extended stay.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family and am comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and basic care. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping dogs safe, happy, and active. I follow instructions carefully and always make sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to schedule walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets my full attention, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet different needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I provide a safe and structured environment with a fully fenced 2-acre yard for supervised play and exercise. I stick to each dog’s routine, including feeding and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention, activity, and care throughout the day.

I am available anytime and most weekends depending on prior engagements. I am flexible and am willing to work with you as best as I possibly can. I currently have a dog. I have always taken care of friends and families pets (fed, played, walked and most importantly showed them love and care.)
