House Sitting Melancthon

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 sophomore in college working towards a graphic design degree! (I also offer design services ;) I balance my classes well! I work seasonal positions both in the summer and winter-and would love to work with your furry friends too :) 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, lots of walks, and plenty of treats! There is a large dog friendly park about 5 minutes away from my house, and many hiking trails to explore too! (if you ever need recommendations, ask away) 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 if needed (IE - lead, treat bag, training leash, toys, etc) I want what is best for you and your family! Respect and communication are top priority. I want you to know that I respect you, your home and family, and know how nerve wracking it can be to have others care for those spaces. Open door policy through and through!

“I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Ashley. She provided exceptional care for my 2 fur babies, and I truly appreciated the consistent photo updates she sent. It was clear that their well-being was her top priority. Ashley is highly attentive and professional, adhering to her own disciplined standards, such as never leaving the dogs alone for more than four hours. She was very accommodating of my schedule and paid close attention to every detail. As an added bonus, she even tidied up and washed the sheets during a single-night stay. This was absolutely five-star service, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“This was my first time booking Jessica to house-sit and take care of my dog while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals—my dog absolutely loved her and even missed her after she left! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, healthy pup. I would definitely recommend Jessica!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young and really enjoy spending time with, and caring for my furry friends while their human is away. 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. I have lots of time to spend with your pets in the mornings before work and then late afternoon/evenings and I am available weekends all day. I am available to provide care for your pets in your home. 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.

“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).”

“My partner and I went away to France for a week and a half. Robyn stayed in our home to take care of our dog Hugo. She was absolutely amazing! Communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. She gave us daily updates with photos and made sure our guy received lots of love and attention. She respected the instructions we had left and went above and beyond by tidying our place before we got home. We will certainly use her services again, and we highly recommend her!”

“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

About: I bring a strong veterinary background and hands-on pet care experience. I’ve been a veterinary assistant since I was 16, have completed my Veterinary Technician degree, and am currently studying Veterinary Medicine to become a licensed veterinarian. I’ve dog-sat on many occasions, am a licensed pet groomer, and am comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals with special or medical needs. I also have a senior dog of my own, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care older pets require. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I make my own work hours, and my pets are allowed to come with me to work, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care. When appropriate and approved by owners, I’m sometimes able to bring client pets along, ensuring they’re supervised and engaged rather than left alone. I also live in a shared household, so there is always someone available to provide companionship, playtime, and potty breaks. As a result, pets in my care are rarely ever left alone and receive consistent attention throughout the day. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, there is always someone present, so pets are never left alone and are free to roam, relax, and play in a safe, supervised environment. They receive regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prefer caring for pets in the client’s home whenever possible, as this helps reduce stress by keeping them in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I always go at the pet’s pace and adjust my care to suit their personality, energy level, and comfort.

“Mary was terrific taking care of our dog and cat for a month when we had to travel. She communicated the important stuff, sent pictures, and overall was very good with the pets! She also took good care of the house and plants, everything was perfect when I got back home. It was great having her here!”

About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.

About: I've grown up around pets and have always been the person family and friends could count on to help care for them. We previously had a Doberman named Onyx, and although we no longer have him, I still miss him dearly. Raising and caring for a large working breed gave me a lot of experience and helped build a strong connection with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Near my home there's a large park that I used to take Onyx to regularly, and it's a great place for walks and exercise. If owners are comfortable with it and it's appropriate for their dog, I'm happy to incorporate park visits into their routine and even some fun training! I handle all the day-to-day essentials including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs so they receive the care that's best for them. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while their owners are away. About you / Schedule I’m currently working at home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m available most weekdays and also open for boarding and extended care on weekends. I enjoy spending that time walking, playing with, and making sure pets are comfortable and well looked after. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment for pets whether in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s routine and comfort. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime depending on their needs and personality.

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’ve cared for dogs on and off over the years, including walking, feeding, and general companionship. While I wouldn’t describe myself as a lifelong professional dog owner yet, I follow instructions well. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and boundaries. I enjoy building trust with dogs over time and making sure they feel safe, exercised, and cared for while their humans are away. I’m also considering getting a dog of my own in the future, and Rover has been a great way for me to spend time with different breeds and temperaments while providing reliable care to others. I have flexible availability and can support pet care at the following times: Early mornings Lunch breaks (especially if you’re nearby) Certain evenings Weekends I’m happy to discuss recurring schedules or occasional needs, and I do my best to be punctual and communicative. I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-ins: Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences Fresh water checks and feeding if needed Playtime, calm companionship, and positive attention Basic cleanup (wiping paws, making sure the space is tidy) Updates and photos so you know how things are going In your home: Respectful of your space and your pet’s routine Clear communication if anything seems off or out of the ordinary Focus on safety, comfort, and keeping your pet relaxed
