Dog Sitting in Milton

“This was Lorin’s second time doing drop-in-visits with my two kittens. I really appreciate Lorin’s communication and dependability. We once again came home to two happy kittens!”

About: Hi!!! A little bit about myself, I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life—caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to look after a wide variety of dogs, from playful puppies to sweet seniors (15+ years old). I’m especially comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, but I enjoy working with all breeds and temperaments. I’ve trained my own puppy from scratch, and I have experience with basic obedience training, reinforcing good behavior, and helping dogs feel calm and confident. I’m also comfortable giving baths if necessary. Friends, family, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, bathe, and care for their pets—sometimes for multiple days at a time. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended overnight care, I always bring a positive attitude, high energy, and genuine love for animals. I’m dependable, enthusiastic, and truly fulfilled by spending time with pets. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun experience every time. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and find fulfilling. I was recently working part-time as a waitress, but with the upcoming university semester starting soon—and a flexible mix of online courses—I’ll be focusing solely on my studies and pet care. This shift in schedule gives me plenty of open availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule, whether you need regular daily walks, occasional drop-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute help. Since my coursework is mostly remote, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve! Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets, whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a secure and comfortable space for dogs to play and get fresh air under supervision. At the moment, there are no other animals or children in my home, which allows for a calm and controlled environment tailored specifically to your pet’s needs. I’m very knowledgeable about dog behavior and body language, and I always take a proactive approach to prevent any risky situations—whether that means safely introducing new routines, monitoring for signs of stress, or keeping a consistent schedule that pets can rely on. In a client’s home, I respect and follow all guidelines set by the owner to make sure the pet feels comfortable, safe, and secure in their familiar environment. Whether at my place or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, care, and attention to their individual needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 15 years old! I have experience with small and big dogs. Your dogs will get play time, and lots of love from me! I currently have 4 dogs ranging from 15lbs up to 115lbs and 1 cat! So I have plenty of experience with all sizes of animals! I have a rotating schedule, 1 week is a long week working 5 days, but the other is a week that I only work 2 days. Which gives me plenty of time to care for animals on the side! I always ensure that pets are looked after the same way a child would be to avoid any possibility of accidents. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I make sure they receive regular meals, exercise, and playtime, along with any grooming or special care they need. I treat each pet with kindness and ensure they feel loved and secure.

About: Hi all! I will provide a great dog-walking experience for your furry best-friend. I absolutely have adored having dogs in my house my entire life and will use the knowledge to make sure your pup is always happy on their strolls with me. Looking forward to catering to your pup's needs. If needed at a certain point of the walk, I do have some experience giving dogs the proper amount of medication in their food. I can also learn the certain types of harnesses or collars that you would prefer to use. As well, I can make sure that if your pup has any issues or fears in certain neighbourhoods I am able to calmly make sure to reduce their anxiety and safely move them to a more comfortable area to walk. I can also provide pickup and drop off services whether your dog needs to go to the Vet, doggy salon, or anything in between. Can't wait to meet your amazing puppies!!

About: I am a veterinary technician that loves to care for pets! I have 3 years experience pet sitting and 1.5 years experience in the veterinary field. Im currently working full time but always make time to see your fur babies! Im available for dog walking, potty breaks, feeding 2-3 times per week I have past experience with dogs that need more structured walks, and have the ability to handle stronger dogs than tend to pull. I’m able to creat your pet if needed.

About: Hey there! I’m based in Milton and spent 14 wonderful years living with two large, high‑energy dogs—a Siberian Husky and a reactive German Shepherd. Both have since crossed the rainbow bridge, but the lessons they taught me about patience, consistency, and unconditional love stay with me every day. Back when my pups were around, reliable walking help for big, strong or reactive dogs was almost impossible to find. I know firsthand how much peace of mind a trustworthy walker can bring, so I’ve decided to become the person I once needed. I’m not chasing a side hustle—I just miss dog energy in my life and want to give other owners a break, and relief knowing their loved ones are in good hands. I work full time, so I’m available to do evening walks during the week and full days on the weekend. I enjoy walking, being outdoors, and spending time with animals, so it’s a perfect match! I have a fenced yard large enough for fetch and zoomies! Whether in my home or a client’s, I treat every dog as if they were my own.

About: I have seven plus years experience owning and working with dogs . I am knowledgeable in walking , bathing , feeding dogs as well as working with dogs with diabetes and giving insulin injections . I am currently a stay at home mom so i have a lot of free time and am available anytime during the week from 9am-5pm , as well as Saturdays from 10am-1pm . I can crate your pet if needed . Always keep pets on a leash when outside and not in inclosed area . I am always at home to keep a watchful eye over your fur baby !

About: Hey pet parents! I’m a full-time pet sitter, Vet Technologist in training, and poodle mama with 9 years of hands on experience caring for furry friends of all kinds. Through my education and daily firsthand care, I continue to build a deeper understanding of pet health, behavior, and safety, and I bring that knowledge into every visit. Since I was in grade school, I’ve cared for leash-reactive dogs, anxious pups, and senior dogs with special medical needs, including administering medications. I’m also equally qualified to chase after high-energy breeds, like my lightning bolt of a mini poodle, Cyrus. My CyCy has been in my life for 5 years now and at this point we basically share one mind. Having him has only solidified my knowledge of how much attention, structure, and love dogs need to feel secure. In addition to my pet care experience, I have two little siblings and a background in babysitting, so not only have I mastered the art of patience, multitasking, and cleaning up messes and/or accidents I didn’t make (with a smile!), but I've also developed a sixth sense for anticipating needs, whether it’s a hungry toddler or a restless pup. Whether your dog needs a quiet companion, a playmate, or just someone to keep their routine on track, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care I would my own. Let me know how I can help make your time away as stress-free as possible for you and your furry family ☺️ 🐾Note on overnight stays😴: My overnight rate includes 14 hours of care (Typically around 6 PM to 8 AM the next day). For any hours of coverage outside of that, here's how I calculate: - Each additional 24-hour day beyond those initial 14 hours is a flat $50 extra - Any remaining hours beyond those full days are just $12 per hour Example: Friday 4 PM – Sunday 10 AM (42 hrs): $64 (first 14 hrs) + $50 (1 full 24hr day) + $48 (4 remaining hrs) = $162 total This pricing structure helps keep longer stays more affordable while ensuring your pet receives consistent, attentive care throughout. Let me know your ideal times and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have and customize your booking! I am currently only working for Rover, so I have a very flexible schedule. Same day or last minute bookings are usually open, and I'm always willing to adapt to you and your pets needs and prioritize your routines and comfort. I'm available during all days of the week including weekends, typically any time after 12 Noon, but shoot me a message and l'll do my very best to stretch my times for you if needed☺️ I have a fenced backyard and a quiet home, however I mostly care for pets in their own homes. I follow all routines closely and ensure pets are fed, having fun, clean, and feeling safe and content always. I also offer Rover cards, where you'll get insights into your precious pooch's behavior during your time away. I'll make sure to provide pet parents with regular pictures and updates throughout the day. During overnight stays, I provide everything previously mentioned, plus full-time care and supervision, comfort, and company. I'm also comfortable with crating your dog and am well versed in a variety of different training methods (model-rival, clicker, etc).

About: Animals mean the world to be, they will be smothered with love, care & affection. I once had 5 puppies & 3 kittens at a time… I love a full home of animals! As soon as i see yours, i’ll love them!! I currently work a full time schedule, so i’ll be able to help you with your fur babies on Sundays and some Saturdays! Can’t wait to play! My pets are SPOILED! To me they’re just the same as a human baby! I am a huge advocate that animals need a crazy amount of love and affection! They deserve every day to be the happiest day! An anxious animal hates to see my coming… because i’ll make sure to make that they get so much love and care that they’ll even forget why they were anxious to begin with!

About: I am a dedicated, experienced and passionate dog lover. I have owned dogs since I was about 6 years old. I have been a loving dog owner for as long as I can remember! I have boarded various dogs within my home!! This including puppies, anxious little guys, rescues, senior citizens and grumps! From these experiences, I know how to tailor the way I care for a dog to their individual needs. From ear infections to doggy boots, I have perfected it all! :) I have a really flexible remote job! This means I can optimize my days to ensure your pets have company and are having fun. I would love to make your pet feel like a star! Whether that means long cuddle sessions, long walks or an endless game of fetch, I'm game! I am very understanding of you and your pets routine. I will make sure to completely respect your pets routine, boundaries and rules, while still ensuring they have a great time!

“Chantal is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and gentle. We’ve had her look after our senior cat who requires medication morning and night, twice for about a week each time and we could not be more pleased. She gives us the peace of mind we need to be able to enjoy our time away. As a veterinarian with no kids, there are no limits for what I will do for my pers and Chantal fits in perfectly!”

About: I’ve cared for one family’s dog during multiple extended stays, sometimes over a week at a time, handling everything from walks and feeding to keeping their pet happy and comfortable. I’m 18, home from university for the summer, and love giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, reliable, and experienced with overnight stays, and I always treat pets like they’re my own. Pet care fits well into my routine—I’m currently working part-time and hoping to move to full-time hours, but I’m still able to be flexible, especially for morning, evening, or weekend care. I’m happy to work around a pet’s schedule and prioritize giving them consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, played with, and given lots of attention. I also keep the home clean and secure while you’re away, and I always respect any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet’s care.

“I could tell Lob(cat) was well cared for while I was away. Excellent communication and regular updates with photos. I would recommend Toni to anyone who needs a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“We were so fortunate to have Julia-Maria watch over our fur babies over the Christmas holiday. She was very quick to respond to any of our messages and sent daily updates/photos of both our cats. I would highly recommend her services your pets will be in good hands. I think my cats were disappointed when I got home I honestly think they were waiting for her instead lol. Her friendly calm personality is a perfect fit for anyone's pet. You will not regret booking her.”

About: I'm a big fan of dogs and cats, and have helped look after many neighborhood pets - I have a particular soft spot for grey tabbies and American Eskimos! In my retirement, I'm aspiring to keep active and busy - and my empty schedule means I'm extra flexible for you. I'm looking forward to taking your pup for long walks around beautiful Milton, or dropping in for pets with your kitties! As a recent retiree, I am very flexible and can accommodate your schedule! My husband and I are happy to drive anywhere in Milton for the number of visits and walks that you need, whenever works best for you :) I will care for your pets the same way I care for mine - with love, compassion, and delight! I'll be detailed with any special instructions for feeding; my three cats eat differently and one has a daily medication so I have experience there. I'm also a bit of a neat freak so I'll make sure litter boxes and pet areas are clean and tidy! Will also make sure your pets get lots of love and pets if they want them ❤️

“Brinkley M was wonderful. A life saver with my new pup. I had an emergency day away and she made visits to let Missy out and play with her during the day. She sent pics and notes to let me know how Missy was doing and reassured me that all was well. It was such a relief. Thank you!”

About: I have had pets all my life - from birds and bunnies, to cats and dogs. I currently have a 1.5 year old dachshund who is as sweet as can be. I work as a nurse and care for humans on a full time/rotating schedule, and on my days off I love to take a break from caring for humans and care for our furry friends instead. I work on a rotating schedule as a nurse where I work 4 days on and have 5 days off, which results in me having a lot of weekdays off. I hope to help out some families who work Monday to Friday to take your fur babies for a walk while you are at work, or to spend some time playing with your puppies at home if you need to be out! I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their safety and well being. I understand how stressful life can be, and how it is difficult to leave your pet with someone else, so I do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy while you are away, so that you don't have to worry! I'd love to do a meet and greet to get aquainted with your pet, free of charge, before you decide to place them in my care.

“Audrie did it wonderful job caring for my two cats. I will consider her if I need to go away again.”
