“Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

About: I’ve had my own cocker for 10 years and my family have always had pets in their home. We are animal lovers and my children love dogs. Your dog will be treated like family and I very much look forward to giving you the peace of mind that your pet is in good hands with us here. Welcome to Scallywags Sitter Services! I hope you find what you need here! We will get out for a morning walk before it gets too hot and then have the yard for plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in yard all the way around my home so they will get great exercise with our dog. Any friends we’ve had stay with us, have loved being able to do zoomies around the house.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.

About: I will make sure that your dog feels loved while being away from your care. They will never feel alone because my job is to keep them company and make sure their mind is occupied by going for walks or playing in the backyard. Long story short, your dog will never be bored with me as I will be by their side every second we are together. I have had a dog for 8 years and I treat her like she is my dog child and your dog can expect no different. As for availability, I am pretty flexible and with some notice can be available pretty much anytime I am needed. I hope you trust that I will take good care of your dog child. I am currently working full time from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. I have hour lunches to be able to go home during the work day and my husband is at home all day and is able to care for your pet while I am at work. I like to make sure I take extra good care of a client’s home and that I respect their space as I would want somebody to respect mine. I grew up in a house with a single mother who taught me how to maintain a clean house so I like to do the same when I am staying at someone else’s place. Same goes for their pets. I had my fur baby for more than 10 years between my high school and university years and I loved her more than anything. I want to care for your pets like it is her I am taking care of.

About: I volunteer at the animal shelter. I’ve been training dogs for almost 3 years now. I have worked with some really challenging dogs but also wonderful dogs as well! My Instagram page for my dogs is The Shelter Dog Diaries. You’ll be able to see how much I LOVE them! I’m a teacher so I am gone from 8:00 to 4:00 but I am able to stop in the let the dogs out on my breaks! After work I usually stay home every night so your pets will never be lonely. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a leash hook up in the backyard. I have lots of space in my home and enjoy taking walks too!

About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!

“Amazing communication, punctual, and very prepared. I was very nervous using a dog walker for our 11 week old puppy but Justine was amazing! Gave us an update and even photos after the visit.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I love them like they are my own children! I also pet-sit regularly for family. I am a nurse on a rotating 9-day schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m willing to work with you and your schedule if I can! I have always cared very deeply for my pets and I want nothing more than to do right by your furry friends! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the love!

About: First of all - I empathize with your tough decision; leaving your fur baby in the hands of another is always a stressful experience. I want to make sure this is a pawsitive experience for you - to answer any questions, send regular updates and photos of your fur baby being spoiled, feeling safe and comfortable in your absence - which would be stressful for them as well. I will not derail your training or nutrition routines as I know it takes a lot of work and dedication to raise a healthy, happy pet. I work full time M to F, 8 to 3. If by chance your fur baby needed to spend any weekdays with me, I’m happy to crate or provide a space free of dangers - garbages up, stairs downstairs gated off and peaceful music in the background. I can also ask my folks (retired) to stop by for a pet and a pee. Mainly - I am looking to sit during weekends (when I am fully off) and holidays (I get all school holidays off) - where it will be me and your fur baby from morning till night! Also - if your pet is more comfortable at his/her own home, I don’t mind having the discussion of me staying over with you. I think it would be really beautiful to get to know your pet like an auntie so that you all can rely on a familiar face as you travel and your pets grow older! I live on an acre of land, with a creek in my backyard. I do not live on a busy street, however, I do not have a fenced in property. I would never let your dog or cat outside to roam without myself at the end of their leash. I will gladly exercise your fur baby with toys, lick pads and long-tether leash walks, in the backyard, on the trails (depending on heartworm/tick medications up to date), but I would never let them out of my sight (I wouldn’t even be able to do that with my own fur baby as I don’t want them to get into anything and frankly I don’t trust people out there!!)

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 5. Friends & family and even neighbours have always relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I am also specialized in training puppies and cats. I am currently only working evening shifts so I am here for all your daily morning to afternoon needs. Whether that be walking your dog or a quick potty break and play. I can easily care for your loved pets with what you provide for me. I also have portable crates, toys and anything else that maybe be needed of my own such as leashes, collars, etc.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: Many years of working with reactive dogs and their unique needs. Have cared for multiple pets at a time.

“Collin was so flexible and responsive when we needed care for our dog and cat at the last minute! We felt very comfortable that they were in good hands, and we look forward to having Collin pet-sit for us in the future.”

About: With over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ve raised my own dog from a puppy and have looked after many pets for friends and family—ranging from playful pups to senior cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, medication, and more. Whether your pet needs energy, patience, or extra cuddles, I treat them like my own. I currently work part time and with the winter approaching I will have lots of time off since my busy season is throughout the summer! I have a fenced yard and lots of parks near by to take your fur babies on walks. I have no pets currently and have lots of space for cuddles and love!

About: I had two family dogs growing up for 12 years that we’re calm and easy to take care of, then I got my own dog who was the exact opposite. He had extreme behavioural issues, anxiety, epilepsy, and aggression. Taking care of him really taught me patience, added responsibilities, understanding and a different kind of love and appreciation as a caregiver. I’ve also fostered dogs which has given me experience with different breeds and needs. I now share custody of a 4 year old border collie/golden retriever mix who LOVES other dogs and people. We worked with multiple trainers with him and learned a series of obedience training, off-leash training, and much more knowledge regarding dogs. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I’m available to take care of, play with, and pay attention to your pup always! We have a half fenced yard and a huge park near us to take the pup out easily! We also have a 2.5 storey house with a basement for lots of room to play and wander. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have plenty of time to play with and pay attention to your pup throughout the day! I have a backyard and a front yard for easy bathroom breaks. There’s also a huge park beside my house to run and play at, plus a bunch of trails to go for long walks!
