“Yujie was fantastic and we are so thankful to her for checking in on Kit for us! Kit is very shy but she was out and about with Yujie. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with Ernie(our St.Bernard/Poodle). She came and met him and was gentle and soft spoken and only took a few minutes to see the connections. She communicated extremely well, and sent pictures and video updates while caring for Ernie, which was amazing. Ernie seemed to be very happy and we would definitely be calling on Deborah in the future.”
“Thanks Melanie Duke loved your visits. The pictures you sent were priceless I looked forward to your report cards everyday. Melanie was very kind and will definitely look after your pet as if they were her own I will definitely use Melanie again no issues”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!

“We are so lucky to have John as our dog walker! He’s incredibly reliable and always professional. Our dog absolutely loves him, and we feel completely at ease knowing our furry friend is in great hands. He’s not just a dog walker, but a genuinely classy and caring person. We couldn’t ask for better care for our dog and highly recommend John to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and awesome. Thank you for everything, John!”
About: Have had dogs most of my life. Everything from a Chihuahua to a Rottweiller and German Shephard. Have always loved dogs. Look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs. My schedule is quite flexible. I am willing to travel to homes in Aurora, Newmarket and parts of King City. We currently have a rescue from Georgia. We have also rescued a racing Greyhound and a Siberian Husky. Will also apply my dog training experience while walking your dog. We have lived in Newmarket for 3 1/2 years. Prior to that we lived in Richmond Hill. Our previous dogs lived a long time which is a testament to how well we took care of them. Our Rottweiller and Siberian Husky lived to almost 15 years old. I am retired. So my schedule is in my control. I am able to be available for furry friends as needed. Looking forward to new 4 legged friends. When looking after your pet, they will become a part of our family. They will get lots of attention. Have access to our large yard and go multiple walks per day.
“Christina was a fantastic sitter and took amazing care of Sammie while I was away. She always communicated what was going on and made sure he was a happy boy, I couldn't be more pleased!”
“I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the extraordinary care Melanie provided to Leo and Bella during our Christmas trip. Throughout our time away, Melanie's thoughtful updates, complete with photos and messages, brought immeasurable comfort. Her dedication to ensuring they felt loved and engaged made all the difference. Her professionalism and the genuine concern you showed for our pets' well-being left a lasting impression, and we are immensely grateful for your expertise in navigating that situation. Returning home to find Leo and Bella content, well-cared-for, and the house in impeccable condition was such a relief. Her attention to detail and the extra effort you put into maintaining the environment demonstrated your commitment to going above and beyond. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our time away worry-free and for showering Leo and Bella with the love they deserve.”
About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I am currently working a job that involves me being there 5 days a week: Monday & Friday 2:30-6, and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday 12:30-6, but are able to make morning visits, evening visits and even overnight if needed. Weekends are completely available to me and can take time off for your furry friends if needed. This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.
About: Growing up with a family of dogs, I've been caring for dogs from a young age, helping with tasks like walking and house sitting. Along with working at a dog groomers for washing and drying dogs. Not only that, but getting a dog of my own has definitely taught me a lot about responsible pet care! As being done with schooling, this is one of my full time jobs and currently have no prior commitments so I'm happy to work around your schedule! Unfortunately, I cannot provide cat care due to allergies. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR through the Red Cross, and I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Through my time of working with a variety of dogs, it has taught me to respect each pet's boundaries and care for them as if they were my own! They are more than just a pet, they're apart of the family!
“I had a wonderful experience with Aprisheh during our in-house dog visits. She was incredibly patient and friendly with Emma, taking the time to understand her needs and personality. Emma seemed comfortable and happy, which gave me peace of mind. I’m looking forward to continuing to use her services!”
About: I have grown up with family dogs my whole life & miss having one around the house! Most of my experience is with large dog's (Retrievers and Labradors), however, I’m just as comfortable with any size /breed. Whether your dog is full of energy or more laid back I’m happy to take them along with me for some good exercise! I promise to treat your dog as my own and to respect their habits/pace and attitude. I am available Monday through Friday between 7am and 5pm. I can also be free for periodic weekend walks upon request. I am generally flexible! At this time I am only accepting dog walking services. My promise is to follow the boundaries & routines you may have set for your animal
About: I've taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was around 12 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs during the day and overnight.

I am available on most weekdays 9am-9pm to take your pups for a walk, or spend time with them:) I have one very friendly Yorkie who would love to play with your fur baby! Your dog will be in a safe and clean environment and can be crated if needed!

“Jessica is great with my dog Maverick! He’s a bit shy and can be fussy about walking in rain or snow, but he took to her right away. I completely trust Jessica with my dog and would highly recommend her!”

Laura was amazing. Very attentive to our cat and treated him like family. Mikko is a shy boy but he opened up to her right away. Laura provide great feedback and took excellent photos. We felt at ease with Laura watching our boy. Will definitely be using Laura again when we go out of town. Thanks again!
Ariel is wonderful! Our shepherd pup Gus can be a bit aloof and unsure of new people but he has warmed to Ariel quickly and has a blast when she stops in for his pee & plays whilst we are at work! She’s great at following specific schedule needs and is considerate of our home too 💕 Would highly recommend
Yujie is incredibly punctual, responsible, and reliable, and was always available when needed. My cats aren’t usually very social, but she took the time to bond with them and kept them engaged with lots of play. They absolutely adore her now. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind while traveling.
Deborah was absolutely amazing with Ernie(our St.Bernard/Poodle). She came and met him and was gentle and soft spoken and only took a few minutes to see the connections. She communicated extremely well, and sent pictures and video updates while caring for Ernie, which was amazing. Ernie seemed to be very happy and we would definitely be calling on Deborah in the future.
John has looked after our 2 dogs once so far but we will book with him again! He was very communicative and sent a bunch of photos and a video which showed that our dogs were very happy to spend time with him. Everything was great! He's very knowledgable about dogs and we trust him to look after our dogs.
Ankita took such great care of my two dogs while popping in for a drop in visit today! We first started with a meet and greet to see if we’d be a good fit and then scheduled a visit. I felt incredibly comfortable with Ankita! She sent me photos and updates about the girls visit. Will book again and refer :)
