Dog Sitting Milton

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them since I was about 10 years old. Even before having my own dog, I regularly helped by walking neighborhood dogs of all sizes. One of those was a Rottweiler who had some behavioral challenges with strangers but bonded well with me, and I was trusted to walk him regularly when other walkers had difficulty. I’ve often been told I have a calm, reassuring energy that dogs seem to respond to naturally. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including rescues and foster dogs. I’ve also helped a close friend who worked with the SPCA by assisting with dog transport, including last-minute and emergency placements to and from foster homes. My first personal dog was a Husky–Malamute mix named Cody, whom I adopted from the SPCA at around 3–4 years old. He came with some challenges due to his previous living situation, but with consistency, patience, and an environment better suited to his needs, he became a wonderful companion. He was great with kids, cats, and other animals and lived a long, happy life into his senior years. I’ve also fostered a Pit Bull mix for several months until she found her forever home. In a previous chapter of my life, I shared a home with a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, and caring for them gave me a deeper appreciation for structure, routine, and clear communication — especially with intelligent, energetic dogs. While I’m not a trainer, I’ve always taken the time to work with my dogs in a patient, consistent way to help them feel secure and well-mannered. Currently, I have a young German Shepherd / Black Mouth Cur mix who is my daily companion. We focus on routine, enrichment, and basic obedience, and he’s a happy, social, people-friendly goof who’s often by my side. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently live with two, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in multi-pet households. While much of my experience happens to be with larger and working breeds, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes. I find that when you understand dog behavior and communication, those skills translate naturally to smaller breeds as well. My approach is calm, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a business owner with a detailing shop in Milton, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m not confined to a traditional 9–5, which allows me to step in and out as needed throughout the day. Bookings are always planned and accommodated in advance, making midday visits, early mornings, evenings, and weekends very doable. I’m able to adjust my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely walks or check-ins. When pets are in my home, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I do have a dog of my own, but my home is set up so dogs can be fully separated if needed, including having their own space and routine. If a pet is reactive or prefers to be alone, accommodations can easily be made. During the day, my dog is often at my shop with my husband, so he is not present when I’m doing walks, drop-ins, or day care outside the home. My yard is partially fenced, with plans to be fully fenced this year. In the meantime, I have designated tie-outs (over 50 feet) to allow for safe outdoor play. The property sits on approximately half an acre, providing plenty of space for movement and enrichment, along with lots of toys. I can easily crate pets if needed and have crates, separate food and water bowls, and supplies on hand. I also encourage owners to bring their pet’s bed or familiar items to help with comfort and settling in. I’m very flexible, communicative, and always happy to work with each pet’s individual needs.

“Shannon took excellent care of my brand new puppy! She provided me constant updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing while I was at work which allowed me to go about my day knowing my puppy was in excellent hands. Will definitely be booking Shannon again and recommending her to friends and family!”

About: We’ve cared for different pets since we were very young, and we’re comfortable handling all kinds of dogs. A lifelong experience observing canine body language helps me understand their needs quickly. We also know how to work with both high-energy puppies and calm, senior dogs. We believe in the importance of daily walks and exercise to keep them balanced, reduce stress, and support their overall well-being. We can take care of dogs during the week, as long as they’re used to being alone since we have a hybrid work schedule. Weekends are also open for me, which means we can spend extra time having fun with them and making sure they’re well cared for. We care for pets in my own home, where we offer a calm and safe environment. We have a small patio where they can relax, and we make sure they always feel comfortable. We also love taking them out for walks or playing with them to keep them happy and engaged.

“Nikki was great with our cats, even our shy one got close to her and allowed a good few belly rubs which should tell you all you need to know. Nikki was very attentive taking care of their needs and playing with them to help them spend some energy. I highly reccommend her and will use her services again.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I grew up surrounded by dogs and currently have two of my own. I trained both of them from puppy stage, giving me hands-on experience with training and daily care. I pride myself on being responsible, patient, and genuinely caring with every dog I look after. I usually work from home, and generally walk my dogs 2-3 times a day. I have a small and medium sized dog so daily walks are non negotiable. I won’t accept clients for days I go into the office. I have a fenced yard and have 2 friendly dogs at home so your pup will always be entertained if they want to. My 5yo child also loves dogs and is very gentle with them.

“Audrie took great care of Cookie ensuring she was well cared for while I was out. She was easy to communicate with. I’ll be sure to use her services again in the future!”

About: As long as I can remember, I've been crazy about animals - big and small! There is something truly special about the bond between an animal and their human. I approach everything I do with love, compassion and an open mind. I currently provide behaviour therapy to those affected by autism, work part time at Global Pet Foods in Milton, and I’m an Educational Assistant with the HDSB. I do not any shy away from challenges, and I have extensive experience with larger dogs with mobility challenges and autoimmune diseases. My lab suffered from wobblers syndrome and arthritis. My Rottie had both a THR and an FHO and was later diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ITP. My care included frequent trips to the vet and the emergency hospital, daily cooking, medication administration multiple times a day, assisted walking with a harness, frequent wiping, managing both diarrhea and vomit, and transporting my late boy to rehab sessions. Dogs are family and they will ALWAYS be treated as such in my care. I love dogs of all sizes ❤️ My Rottie recently passed in April 2026 and I want to be able to share the love I had for him with other dogs ❤️ In addition to my dog, I currently have a 11 year old indoor cat who I love to bits! Feel free to ask me any questions you like! Your furbaby will be in good hands at all times I can guarantee. Photos and videos will never be a problem as I always try to capture the best moments :). I will gladly provide character references from places of employment as well as from the local vet clinic and rehabilitation center ❤️ I can work with you for your pets care! I currently am not offering boarding, but I would be happy to come into your home to assist where needed, or walk your dog, or just be a companion in the evenings or weekends. I have more flexibility when I am out of school at the end of June. I will work with you and create a schedule of care! I am flexible and understanding and will provide exactly what works best for you and your dog.

Let me know if your pet requires any special care regarding its walks, its meals, its dealings with other animals. It's important to me to know what things upset him and what things relax him.

I pride myself on going the extra mile to make sure animals are happy and healthy, and homes are beautifully looked after.

“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.

About: Our family has owned and loved dogs all of our life. Nothing makes us happier than bringing the pure love and joy of a dog into our home. Our home is not a model home where dogs can't go on furniture or run around. Quite the opposite, in our home your dog will completely feel like part of the family - snuggles on the couch and all! My husband and I have been boarding dogs since 2016. We've watched all types of dogs - small and large, easy-going and particular ones 🤣 - truly all types! We've also taken care of dogs with challenging physical ailments, high-anxiety, and ones that require the administration of medications. I have also been on the committee for Leash Free Milton since 2020. Amongst several roles in this organization, I created a calendar initiative to help fundraise for our leash-free dog parks. What can I say, I love dogs! ❤️ When your dog stays with us, you will be sent many photo and video updates throughout the day. 📸 You'll always know what your pup's been up to. I don't work often. When I do, it is flexible, supply work. My husband works from home, so someone will always be home with your pup. Outside, we have a fenced-in backyard with a gate. Both outside and inside, all unsafe materials are out of reach from the dogs. Our dog Mack is happy to keep your dog company and often becomes great friends with the dogs we watch! 🐶🐶

About: Hi, My name is Angela! I just graduated from the University of Waterloo. I’m a huge animal lover!! I have played hockey for my whole life up until this year so I love to get outside and be active and throw the tennis ball or kick the soccer ball with my sweet doggo! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me want to pursue being a Vet! I have a dog of my own, London. I’ve volunteered for many shelters and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve also pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!

About: Don't wanna walk in the snow? I will. Don't wanna walk in the rain or after work? I will. Currently I own a female Rottweiler so I understand how important play time and being active with pets is. I also enjoy it. I am available during days, early morning or late evening walks or visits. If you are out for the night or have a early day. I do not walk more than 2 dogs at a time so your dog gets my attention and is safe. Rottweilers are also very clumsy so I do keep a puppy proof environment for boarding , good for overnight stays. I live right across the street from a vet & animal hospital incase of any emergencies. I live close to several trails, the boardwalk and a beach, so dogs will enjoy the walks. My work schedule is very flexible & close to home. Morning, afternoon & evening time’s available. Holidays will be available which can be hard to find someone. I have a very clumsy big dog so my home is clean, free of obstructions, edges, food etc for safety. Lots if space & comfy mats / beds for pets. Toys are kept in safe locations when its not play time.

“We are very happy with the service we received from Maria. She was punctual in arriving around the same time each day and sent us lots of photos so we knew our fur babies were safe and in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone, and will definitely use her again in the future.”
