Pet Sitting Norfolk County

About: Over 30 years of dog ownership and care. I am a retired Pharmacy Technician so I have lots of experience with medications and administration. Large property for exercise. Indoor area for playtime. We’ll treat your furry friend like we do our own, showering them with love, cuddles, and treats while following your dog’s specific diet requirements. I’m a retired pharmacy technician, so I’m very familiar with medications and administration. My husband works nights, so there’s always someone here to have naps with. We have over 10 acres of land, including about 8 acres of bush with walking paths. There’s a fully fenced dog run attached to the house for bathroom breaks. We have a large room dedicated to indoor play and rest, and a large, cleared outdoor area for playing fetch and water activities when the weather is nice. There’s plenty of shade for relaxing on hot days. We’ve always dreamed of running a boarding kennel or daycare. As dog owners for over 30 years, we’ve mostly had more than one dog at a time. Years ago, we even had a litter of eight Labs! Currently, we have three dogs: Jenny, a retriever mix female we helped rehome when she was 10 months old; Oscar, our 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog; and Maverick, our 4-year-old Red Retriever. We also have our grand puppy, Cooper, a 4-year-old Basset Hound, who lives in an attached apartment with our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Cooper is with us when his parents work. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. We’re non-smokers and have elderly parents, one in a wheelchair, living with us. We also have a new baby in an attached apartment.

“Christi went above and beyond with her check-ins with my dog to ensure he was comfortable and even hand feeding him when he wouldn't eat as he struggles when I am away. Thank you so much Christi 🙏🏼☺️”

“Chloe was fantastic. She went above and beyond to make sure Louie was taken care of and Louie thoroughly took to her. You can tell Chloe loves what she does.”

About: I provide attentive, calm, and reliable care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I have experience caring for active adult dogs as well as dogs that require a more patient approach, including those that may be anxious or need a consistent routine. I focus on maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home, including regular walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable managing large dogs and energetic breeds, and I pay close attention to behaviour, body language, and safety during walks and play. I am also attentive to health needs such as medication schedules, special diets, and monitoring for changes in behaviour or appetite. My goal is to make pets feel secure and comfortable while keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care. I’m available for regular walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m calm, attentive, and safety-focused, and I’m comfortable working with a wide range of dogs, including energetic dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and larger breeds that require confident handling. I always prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and respecting each dog’s comfort level and boundaries.

“Heather was great! Very good communication and dependable. Callie seemed to love her. Thanks again Heather! We’ll reach out again!”

“We had two drop in visits with Rebecca. The response to our booking request was quick. Rebecca arrived on time on both days and stayed with our puppies for the full thirty minutes. We received pictures , Rover cards and updates after each visit. Holly and Sadie certainly enjoyed Rebecca’s company. We highly recommend her services to fellow pet owners.”

“Thrilled with Sara, first time our 2 five year old cats left alone. Our minds put at ease by daily pics & updates. And clearly Sara treated them WELL, no fuss when we got home, as if we never left. Thanks so much Sara, we'll be happy to book you again.”

“Paula is an absolutely incredible pet sitter! We had no idea Paula was available, sometimes, for house sitting and will hope for that option, as everything was perfect, the cats were so content.....came to the door but turned away almost disappointed it wasnt Paula 😅. Paula also accepted us last minute so that was amazingly helpful. Would 100 percent recommend Paula for any pet needs you have.”

About: I absolutely LOVE big dogs (and small ones, too!) . Experience with reactive dogs (particularly bully breeds), rescues, as well as seniors. Multiple dog care bookings welcome. I am self employed and can be very flexible (can often do same day bookings). Meet and greets first are ideal but for last minute bookings we can do a mini version with you present just to get oriented. Your pet will be safe and happy in my care. I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. Last minute house sitting stays are my specialty ! I typically prefer minimum 2-3 day bookings for locations that are over 50km away from me but if you're curious just shoot me a message and we can see what works. I currently do not offer home based pet care. However, in YOUR home I would follow any medication, behavioral and activity guidelines you set out.

“Agatha did a great job with the drop-in visits for Nova and Chief. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it was reassuring to see them happy and cared for while I was away. Everything was done as asked, and I came home to content puppies.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats for most of my life and I absolutely love all animals! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and currently have an 8 year old English Bulldog rescue, Luna! I also have experience caring for cats, rats, bunnies and fish ☺️ I currently have weekday and weekend availability from 7am-7pm for walks (requests outside these hours possible). I am new to the Woodstock area and looking to build my walking roster here! I love every pet as if they’re my own! My friends have always made fun of me for the way I communicate with animals but they are part of the family! I will respect your space and ensure your pet is just as loved as if you were walking or caring for them.

“Alyson Moulton was very reliable and caring! She cared for my cat Dexter for 3 days this past week, and did a terrific job of reporting on his overall condition, food intake, and litter usage. She also monitored Dexter well! I would highly recommend Aylson to anyone!”

About: I’ve had 6 dogs, and cared for many more, from puppy to senior, and trained all of them. No matter the breed or size, I'm an experienced animal handler who can care for your 4-legged loved one. Am also trustworthy, reliable, and can care for your pets or home. I have a set schedule I work around, but can often make time for any special client requests. I look after our 2 large breed dogs, and have time to care for your pets as well. Our pets are crate trained, and well behaved. In the client's home, I adjust based upon your needs. No dog is alike, and I can cater my services to meet your needs. Whether that's walking, dog sitting, or house sitting, I'll take care of your family like it's my own.

“Thank you.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life through my family for thirty-three years and cats for twenty-five. Two years ago I adopted my first dog and greatest friend in life, a Golden Retriever named Chewie! Twelve years ago I initially fostered but later adopted two Bombay cats I named Luke and Leia. Luke passed away in 2020 but Leia is still as young as ever at twelve years old! I’m currently looking to make a career change from human services into animal care and seek further knowledge of animals to further my passion for animals! I have a fenced yard for my two year old Golden Retriever so he can roam the yard and do his business as he pleases.

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

About: I have taken care of dogs & cats my entire life. You can’t have a farm without farm dogs or barn cats! I’ve trained puppies and have raised a litter. Also taken my own Saint Bernard to trick training classes. That’s not often a sight to see. 😊 I’ve shown horses, fed & watered. Brushed & braided prior to horse shows. Turned them out & let them in. Covered feedings for cows, sheep, goats, mink, weasels, rabbits, fish, birds, chickens & ducks. I am currently home, so I have time to stop around (pre-scheduled) and give lots of cuddles & take them out for a pee break. I have the flexibility to step away and drive to your house for letting dogs out for a run in a fenced yard, or a walk on leash, or just for a pee break and have them eat their lunch or supper. Or cuddle the kitty and give lunchtime or supper time medications. Since my house is busy with two large breed dogs, I would travel to your house for walks and feedings or medications. Some dogs and most cats prefer to stay at home where they are comfortable and less stressed. With little transition other than the meeting someone new.

About: PET CARE EXPERIENCE I’ve been around animals my whole life — from dogs to hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and cats — and have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with gentle handling, enclosure cleaning, basic feeding routines, and adjusting care to each pet’s energy, behavior, and routine. I genuinely enjoy learning each animal’s quirks and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, stimulated, and happy. With dogs, I like to incorporate mental enrichment through games and basic trick training — but only if you’re comfortable with it. I use hand gestures paired with verbal cues for clear, positive communication. Some fun commands I’ve worked on include: • “Statue” – freeze in place • “Quiet” – settle and stay calm • “Kiss” – stand still and allow a gentle kiss on the top of the pup’s head • “Out” / “Get your toy” / “In” – for toy retrieval and clean-up routines I previously offered in-home boarding but now focus solely on caring for pets in their own homes. That experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m reopening my availability and excited to welcome new clients again. I’ve worked with pet parents through Rover and personal referrals, and I’m committed to providing dependable, respectful care. I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which gives me the availability to prioritize pet care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is energetic or reserved, I follow their routine, respect their personality, and ensure they feel safe, mentally engaged, and cared for while you’re away. SCHEDULE I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which allows me to fit pet care smoothly into my weekly routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Since I don’t work a traditional 9–5, I can provide attentive, reliable care — whether that’s multiple visits per day or overnight stays in your home. Your pet will always have someone calm, present, and focused on their comfort and routine. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay relaxed and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and downtime — so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I used to offer boarding in my home and have experience creating safe, calm spaces for pets. While I no longer board animals at my own residence, that experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and respond to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. I take pet care seriously and treat every home with respect — I’m clean, mindful of your space, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.

About: I’ve had/taken care of many different types of dogs/cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with alot of animals in the house and currently have 4 dogs & 3 cats at home! I just moved back to Niagara and I’m looking to hangout with some cats and/or walk some pups in my downtime to get them and myself outside a bit! I usually live in a van fulltime so I can’t take animals into my home but I’d love to come take them for a walk to get out during the day!
