Dog Sitting Millbrook

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a retired animal lover who has owned dogs all my life, including both small and large breeds such as Shih Tzus, Boxers, and Labradors. Since retiring, I’ve realized how much I miss having dogs, and caring for other people’s dogs has been the perfect solution, and I absolutely love it. My home is quiet, calm, and perfect for dogs. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run, and enjoy lots of fresh air. Why Owners Choose Me ✔ Retired and home most of the day ✔ Large fenced backyard for safe playtime ✔ Lifelong dog owner with experience with many breeds ✔ Comfortable caring for large dogs and small dogs ✔ Experience with medication and special care needs ✔ Calm, quiet home environment Over the years I have also become the designated dog sitter for my family’s “grand-dogs.” These include a wide variety of breeds such as: • Pomeranian • Boston Terrier • Olde English Bulldogge • Bullmastiff • American Bulldog • Dogue de Bordeaux Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also have experience with: • Puppies • Senior dogs • Dogs that require special care or medication. Because I am retired, I am home most of the time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and companionship. I enjoy the time together as much as your dog. 😊 Dogs staying with me will enjoy a calm, loving environment where they will be treated like part of the family. I don’t take dogs out for neighbourhood walks (my own feet betray me from walking long distances 😉), but I make sure they get lots of exercise and playtime in my large (and safe) fenced backyard. I spend time outside with them playing fetch, tossing balls, and keeping them active. My goal is always to make sure dogs feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away.

About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.

“Absolutely amazing! Will definitely book with Emily again. Had her look after my 2 kittens while I was out of town for 4 days. She stopped in twice a day to feed, water and play with them, and even clean their litter box! She took the initiative to vacuum up a mess the kitties had made from kicking litter everywhere. She kept me up to date with an update message and pictures each visit. I had also entrusted her with a key and she left it back in the mailbox. All around extremely pleased with mine and my kitties' experiences and would be more than comfortable leaving them with her again!”

About: I have always had a ‘Animals-first’ mentality! I am kind, considerate and eager to help with any services your furry friend may need. I have many years of experience - from owning my own animals, working in pet shops, kennels, grooming parlours, horse stables and more! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs (and cats). As well as I am comfortable working with different types of personalities and energy levels. Feel free to contact me anytime and I will be happy to answer any further questions you may have for me. I am available most days during the week and anytime during the weekend for walks, check ins, overnights and more. I look forward to speaking more in detail!! I currently work from home so my availability is pretty open throughout the week, during the weekend I am usually out exploring on the trails so would love a furry friend to join me. I have my own vehicle so transportation is no problem for me :) I treat every pet like they’re my own! Whether your furry friend is staying with me or I’m visiting your home, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel relaxed and cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, snuggles, and rest. I make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and downtime. When I’m in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medication routines to house rules and favorite walking routes. I keep in touch with regular updates, photos, and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I had a dog all throughout growing up. From an outdoor farm dog to an indoor lab, I love getting to know all their unique personalities. I’m currently working two casual/part time jobs and usually go for walks during the day anyways! I’d love a furry companion to join me or to drop in for a play date with your pet :) I consider myself a very responsible person, and have experience nannying kids under 4 which requires thinking ahead and making sure the environment is as safe as possible.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

About: Name: Chelsy Age: 34 I absolutely adore animals of all species. If you met someone that knows me the first thing they’ll tell is I’m a sucker for animals. Have you seen Punch the Monkey on TikTok? Yeah he consumes my mind more than I’d like to admit. I have specific long term experience with cats and dogs. I have cats, a dog, and have had a hamster and bird myself, all of different personalities but very well loved and cared for (which people pride us on often). I want you to feel at ease and comfortable leaving your fur babies with me- knowing their best interest, needs, and health always come first! I have experience with young, senior, and special needs animals. I want to broaden my passion and work to build strong relationships with every fur baby I can! My soul dog Benny passed away two years ago and I would love to fill my heart with other pets to care for. I currently work full-time with the school board as an educational assistant. My wife owns her own business and is home periodically throughout the day. We can provide care periodically throughout the day, full time evening and nights, and weekends. With the most amount of love! I follow clients care instructions because after all they know their pets best. As much as I want and love to give animals love, I also respect their need to warm up to me. I always give them space and time to learn me and become comfortable.

About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

“Thank you to Melissa for visiting my cat Phoebe. Phoebe has lost her sister 2 months ago. We had plans to travel….I was worried about Phoebe being alone. Phoebe has lived in this house for 14 years, so I didn’t want to take her to a boarder. Melissa paid a visit to our home to check on Phoebe and she sent information right away. I was so relieved to know that everything was fine. Thanks Melissa!”

About: Experience started from growing up with dogs and has evolved to over a decade of experience caring for friends and families’ pets while raising my own 3 rescue dogs. Previous customers have expressed gratitude for my communication skills while caring for their pet, which allows you to know your pet is safe and well (happy to provide text and picture updates!) I have full-time availability. I am able to offer flexible hours and to drive to location as I have my own vehicle which can safely transport pets. I prioritize safety with any pets’ care. By first collecting background information from the owner, you can be sure key information has been understood before I take responsibility for your pet. I am happy to accommodate any requests to ensure pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I have had two dogs of my own, one Shih Tzu and one golden retriever. Have a lot of experience with walking dogs and pet sitting for my friends. I’m skilled in reading canine body language and strive to ensure the pet is as safe and comfortable as possible. Dogs are family and it’s always difficult for them to be away from their owner, but I try to make the experience as good as it can be. I work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and make sure they get their walks in throughout the day. I have a two storey apartment with a balcony. There is plenty of areas around the building for a nice dog walk and there is a dog wash station as well. I would normally let the dog roam free inside, unless the client prefers otherwise.

About: I have no problem in getting playful with your favourite furry friend! I’m experienced in taking care of dogs and walking them.

My schedule can be flexible if you ever need it to be. I live near downtown but am able to travel anywhere in the city! I have no problem taking care of large or senior dogs. I’m a very tidy and neat person as well
