About: Lifelong animal lover! I have always loved owning and caring for a variety of pets - of all ages and sizes: dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, lizards. I can visit, play with, walk or sit pets in your house or mine, overnights are an option. I currently have a full time M-F day job but am available most evenings and am fairly flexible on weekends. Overnights throughout the week will be depending on expectations of care and time for your fur baby with weekends being more open. In your home, I will follow your pets routine as you lay out for me. In my home, I currently only have a gecko lizard at the moment so have an option for visiting furry friends as well.

My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶

About: I own a small doggy daycare and occasional boarding business. Along with caring for people’s canine companions over the last 14 years, I have trained and trailed multiple dogs in many conformation, sporting and obedience events. We live on a hobby farm with a mixed animals who I also enjoy caring for. I use postive reinforcement methods with all of our animals and believe that a relationship built on trust is the best training tool! I am an animal lover and my passion is Dogs 💕 I look forward to meeting you and your canine family member(s)! I am a part time stay at home mom and a part time doggy daycare operator! My life revolves around caring for kids and animals (shhh don’t tell my kids but I enjoy the animal part best!). Pet care is my life! My schedule is flexible other than Tuesday and Thursday when I have a yard full of dogs! We have 100 acres of wooded trails that I take the dogs for walks (leashed or offleash) on and a fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and playtime when the weather is fine! Weekends are more busy with my children than during the week. Some dates may be unavailable if we are away, if I confirm that I am available to care for your dog it means I will be home (or close to home) while your dog is in my care. Other than Tuesdays and Thursdays my daily routine varies, we can have a conversation about how my days will look when your dog is in my care. Safety is my main priority when dogs are in my care. I have recently re-certified my canine first aid training in April 2026. After 14 years of dog care and caring for my own animals, I try to manage the animals in my care in the safest way possible (without putting them in bubble wrap)! I believe that it is importang for our canine friends to have freedom and fun but I have processes and rules in place to try and keep everyone safe AND happy! My fenced yard has two double gated entires, dogs are always on a leash unless they have spent a significant time with me and are showing me that they have a reliable recall. When dogs are unattended in my home or the daycare building they are always crated (separated) and crated at night. Dogs who show any human or dog aggression will not be permitted to stay with me.

I follow a structured but flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs — from morning feedings and walks to playtime, grooming, and medication when needed.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs. If in a clients home, I would need to bring my dog with me. In My Home: I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space where pets are treated like family. For dogs, I ensure they have access to a secure yard for play and relaxation, and I follow any training or health routines you’ve established. Cats have quiet, comfy spots to relax, along with engaging toys and activities to keep them stimulated.

Alissa is an excellent dog sitter! We left our puppy with her for 4 nights. In the video we received first day it looked like everyone was having a good time together. We received messages and photos everyday. Alissa's dogs are also very well trained and she took very good care of our puppy. Before the boarding with Alissa he didn't want to eat his food and I don't know what Alissa did but when we got our dog back he was eating again! We definitely recommend Alissa, and there are no any doubts we will contact her again before our next trip. Thank you Alissa and Kyle, you rock!

My dog can be nervous and anxious with new people, but she had the best weekend with Roselyne and her dog! Not only is their home perfect for the dogs to play, but she provided Nova with extraordinary care. She sent frequent updates, which I appreciated so much while I was away. She was always on top of communication and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Nova in her care. I would definitely recommend Roselyne and I will be bringing Nova back to her my next weekend away! :)

About: We have a 13 lbs Shih Tzu who gets along great with most dogs. He is well loved and we would treat your dog the same. I work 8-3 but am off during the summer/ weekdays and holidays. Your dog would have lots of outdoor time and would be well cared for. My dog isn’t crated most days but is able to be. I would prefer to crate both dogs until the 2 became use to each other.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, structured, home environment I provide. I only take 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so your dog gets real attention—not a crowded, chaotic setting. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks, plus I’m home often so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I focus on keeping dogs relaxed, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with: dogs who need a quieter space Crate training (I have a large crate available if preferred) Multi-dog supervision with safe introductions and monitoring Basic routine consistency (feeding, walks, rest times) Inside, dogs have cozy spots to relax, and I keep things clean and organized. I also send regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is simple: your dog feels like they’re staying in a safe, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I own a local business that is fully staffed, which allows me to be home most of the day. I’m not tied to a 9–5 schedule, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine includes regular outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, walks, feeding on your dog’s schedule, and plenty of relaxed indoor time. Because I’m home so often, dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, low-stress environment. I’ve built my schedule specifically to support pet care, so your dog isn’t just being “fit in”—they’re part of my daily routine and receive consistent, attentive care from morning to evening. I provide personalized, in-home care designed to give each dog a calm, safe, and comfortable experience—very different from a high-volume or kennel-style setting. I intentionally limit bookings to just 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so every dog receives focused attention and consistent supervision. Care in my home is structured around your dog’s routine, including daily walks, regular time in my fully fenced backyard, and relaxed indoor living in a clean, cozy space. Dogs are treated like part of the household, with access to comfortable lounging areas and a low-stress environment where they can settle in naturally. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to introductions and group dynamics, ensuring dogs are compatible and comfortable. I closely monitor behavior and can provide separation or crating if preferred, always prioritizing safety and your dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive consistent care, attention, and supervision from morning through evening. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to offer a premium, home-based experience where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for—not just looked after.

About: More Than Just a Pet Sitter – I’m Your Pet’s Second Best Friend! 🐾 With experience in puppy training, senior pet care, and personalized attention, I go beyond basic pet sitting to ensure your furry family member feels loved, safe, and engaged. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles to older pets, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Because every pet deserves expert care with a personal touch I work as a marine geophysicist and hydrographic surveyor - fancy way of saying I map the oceans. My work often takes me to various parts of the world so I work on a Month On - Month Off rotation schedule. When I am home, I am home full time and always looking for things to do. If that kind of schedule works well for you I can't wait to chat! Provide walks, playtime, and any special needs. Maintain Routine. I would prefer they stay in their familiar environment, reducing stress. Daily updates to the owner.

About: My name is Roney — I live in the heart of little Portugal in Toronto, I’m a filmmaker who works from home, I live in a comfy detached home with my roommate, Andrew, and we have an aptitude for having fun with furry friends. I was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, where my family and I raised two stunning English Springer Spaniels. I moved to Toronto to play basketball for the Ryerson Women’s varsity team, and stayed because I fell in love with this city. I’m incredibly active, social, and caring. I love giving updates on how your doggo is doing, but I’m also very flexible with communication! There’s tons of great dog parks around me! I’m a great trainer so let me know what you need help with (examples: leading, stay, recall training, potty training, etc.) I work from home and I’m very involved in training and giving your pets plenty of exercise throughout the day. I’m usually up at around 6-630 every morning so I’m very flexible with your pups routine! I have a fenced home and I’m very close to dog parks. I have a car in case of emergency or if you want me to take your dog for a long hike outside of town!

About: Presently I have one dog in my home.She is a 1 year old English Bulldog who loves all other animals and people.recently had to send our other two senior bulldogs over the rainbow bridge I’m comfortable with just having the one dog we have now but would love to look after other fur babies Open seven days a week and I do not require much notice.As stated above I do have a 1 year old bulldog who is full of love. I would not be able to accept aggressive dogs of any kind. We have a very large non fenced yard but lots of places to walk so your fur baby can have all the exercise they need. We don’t mind crating if it makes your dog more comfortable.Sleeping on the bed is always an option in our home

About: I can provide a loving, structured, safe environment with a focus on positive reinforcement. I have experience with almost every kind of pet, but specialize in canines and kitties. As someone who is home all day, I am able to prioritize with the needs of your pets whether it be old age related health needs or young age related potty needs etc. I have a large partially fenced yard on a green belt. I have a dog line set up for brief outside uses but usually take dogs out in groups several times a day besides walks. For kitties, it is a three level home where cats are free to find their own spot/space. I feed all animals 1 to three times a day on a schedule for the most part. Dogs are allowed on some furniture with permission.

Simon is an exceptional sitter! He’s warm, personable, and truly seems to find joy in caring for dogs. He’s one of the rare few I trust with my pup, Dolly. While she’s a sweet and gentle girl, at one year old, she still has bursts of puppy energy (though many comment on how calm she is for her age). In the past, when Dolly attended corporate daycares, I’d pick her up to find her reactivity heightened. But after spending time at Simon’s, she’s her usual relaxed self, even after a day with a small pack of other pups. On one occasion, when I came to collect her, she actually looked like she didn’t want to leave his side! Simon goes above and beyond with updates, sending plenty of pictures and videos that provide a lovely glimpse into their day together. I will absolutely be booking with Simon again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

About: Hi there, we are Fathima and Khan. We live in Middle Sackville in a beautiful community. We have a 1.6 year old male, adorable, goofy little (not so little) German Shepherd dog named Loki (yes, the Dog of Mischief) and a 2 year old beautiful calico house cat named Arya (House Stark!) who are looking for more furry friends to play with. Loki is extremely friendly, social and loves giving lots of kisses to anyone who enters the house and is eager to meet everyone. He enjoys his fetch and tug playtime the most. Miss Arya is the typical sassy queen cat who loves her own space upstairs and yet somehow manages to win everyone’s heart. Requested information about your pet: When you're ready to request a service, send us a message via this website and we will reply within the hour. When requesting a service please let us know the following about your fur babies: - Any behavioural/reactivity issues? - Does your pet have any separation anxiety? - Fully vaccinated? - Crate trained? - Spayed/Neutered? - Dog Friendly? - Pee pad trained? (Puppies only) - Allergies or medication? Me and my husband work from home, so we will be at our home all day with your pet. We will ensure your fur babies have a great time with lots of play, toys, puzzles and snuggles to go around. Since we have 2 fur babies, we know what it's like to leave them with someone else for a few days - so we will make sure that we send you lots of videos and pictures of them so you can enjoy your vacation/trip worry free. We have a big unfenced backyard where your pups can play, run around and have immense fun. We look forward to hosting your pups! 😊

My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶

About: I own a small doggy daycare and occasional boarding business. Along with caring for people’s canine companions over the last 14 years, I have trained and trailed multiple dogs in many conformation, sporting and obedience events. We live on a hobby farm with a mixed animals who I also enjoy caring for. I use postive reinforcement methods with all of our animals and believe that a relationship built on trust is the best training tool! I am an animal lover and my passion is Dogs 💕 I look forward to meeting you and your canine family member(s)! I am a part time stay at home mom and a part time doggy daycare operator! My life revolves around caring for kids and animals (shhh don’t tell my kids but I enjoy the animal part best!). Pet care is my life! My schedule is flexible other than Tuesday and Thursday when I have a yard full of dogs! We have 100 acres of wooded trails that I take the dogs for walks (leashed or offleash) on and a fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and playtime when the weather is fine! Weekends are more busy with my children than during the week. Some dates may be unavailable if we are away, if I confirm that I am available to care for your dog it means I will be home (or close to home) while your dog is in my care. Other than Tuesdays and Thursdays my daily routine varies, we can have a conversation about how my days will look when your dog is in my care. Safety is my main priority when dogs are in my care. I have recently re-certified my canine first aid training in April 2026. After 14 years of dog care and caring for my own animals, I try to manage the animals in my care in the safest way possible (without putting them in bubble wrap)! I believe that it is importang for our canine friends to have freedom and fun but I have processes and rules in place to try and keep everyone safe AND happy! My fenced yard has two double gated entires, dogs are always on a leash unless they have spent a significant time with me and are showing me that they have a reliable recall. When dogs are unattended in my home or the daycare building they are always crated (separated) and crated at night. Dogs who show any human or dog aggression will not be permitted to stay with me.

My dog can be nervous and anxious with new people, but she had the best weekend with Roselyne and her dog! Not only is their home perfect for the dogs to play, but she provided Nova with extraordinary care. She sent frequent updates, which I appreciated so much while I was away. She was always on top of communication and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Nova in her care. I would definitely recommend Roselyne and I will be bringing Nova back to her my next weekend away! :)
