Personalized care for your dog or cat - Middleton

“They took great care of Athena for an over night stay, she got plenty of exercise and slept the whole next day at home. Highly recommend Rafe and Carla, they have lots of experience with animals, especially dogs.”

“First time leaving my 6 month old pup for a night but I had peace of mind knowing he'd be in good hands with Emma. He loves visiting to see his friend Luna, and even likes the cat. He slept the night no problem.”

Michelle L.

“I had an amazing experience with Frederic and highly recommend him to everyone. He kept me updated and provided pictures throughout the process. My dogs were completely worn out when I got them back, which makes me happy—I can finally sleep soundly too!”

“We left our home and animals to Jacky while out of province for a week and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. She sent daily updates of our fur babies which included tons of cute photos of them playing outdoors and relaxing indoors. She put our mind at ease knowing they were being well taken care of, not to mention our animals LOVED her! Not only did she take great care of our animals but she made sure our home was well taken care of. She even put the garbage out to the end of the road on garbage day and frequently checked on our sump pump while we were gone- AMAZING. Would 100% book with Jacky again, in a heartbeat ! Thanks Jacky!”

About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.

“Shannon is amazing with dogs. Our 9 month year old rough collie took right to her. She understands doggy needs and comforts. Thank you so much Shannon for your excellent care of Butterscotch for 2 weeks.”

“Pick up and drop off were great and easy. Peter and Melissa responded right away and Mabel came home tired and happy. Everything was amazing”

About: My love for animals has always been clear, having had dogs and cats my whole life. I started my first “dog sitting business” when I was 10 years old (with the help of my mother), where I was able to establish a great customer base and learn the fundamentals of proper animal care. I took care of cats & dogs intermittently for years, along with caring for my family dogs. I got my very own border collie puppy two years ago, and have since fallen even deeper in love with caring for animals, and have been on an extensive journey of understanding training and how to provide the best life for my dog. I am experienced with reactive dogs & high energy dogs, and love to spend time with dogs in whatever way THEY prefer. We can go on long walks, play games in the park (on leash or off leash), do mental stimulation exercises, or simply hang out and watch TV together. I work from home, so I am able to walk your dog whenever suits their schedule best. I typically do a long morning & evening walk, and one 30min-1hr walk during lunch hours. I will never let a dog off leash, unless requested by the owner and a comfortable relationship between me and the dog is established. I typically bring two types of leads on my walks, to allow for both heel training & longer lead scent walks. I am very used to reactive dogs (having had 3 during my time living with my family), and so know how to advocate for a dog’s space & avoid uncomfortable situations.

“Amazing girl , it’s obvious she loves animals . Melanie gave daily updates with photos of my cat . I would definitely use Melanie and would recommend her to other friends and family. Thank you Melanie for the amazing work .”

“Frederic has been amazing with our pets while we've been away. He was friendly when we met him to go over their routines and kept in touch often (including sending photos) while we were away. He gave our pets time to get to know him...and it didn't take long before he was reporting that they were excited to greet them when he came by. He even watered my plants while I was gone. I highly recommend Frederic as a pet-sitter!”

Brenda E.

“Jacky was a lifesaver! I needed an overnight pet sitter for my crazy bengal kitten very last minute and for an extended period of time and Jacky was super accommodating! I really appreciate how she sent photos and updates consistently so I was never left wondering. My kitten is a handful and she handled him like a pro. Will most definitely be reaching out to her anytime we need to go away. Thank you Jacky!!”

Anna E.

“Such a wonderful experience with Megan! Leaving our fur babies behind is hard, but Megan completely put our minds at ease. It was so reassuring knowing our cats were in such good hands. We are so grateful for the excellent care they received. The updates and photos she sent were the highlight of our days. We'd book with Megan again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Holly T.

“Emma was wonderful! She was great with our cat and made sure we knew our kitty was okay while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”

Jessica R.

“First time leaving our rambunctious dog with anyone and these folks took excellent care of her. She was excited to go back into their home on the second day and slept like a log every night. Lots of mental and physical stimulation for her. Thank you! Will definitely be back.”

“Peter was wonderful with Ella! It was my first time leaving her with someone she wasn’t familiar with but she took a liking to him very fast and felt comfortable with him! I felt comfortable leaving her with him, he gave me updates throughout the day and was overall a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend him to any pup parent! :)”

“We felt great picking up our two Frenchies knowing they had had a good time with Emma and the family’s dog. This was a last minute request and we’re glad Emma could accommodate us.”

About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.

“Melanie provided a fast response when contacted regarding a booking! She came for a meet and greet before hand & provided excellent updates on our Knies while they were out! Will be using again for sure! Thanks Melanie!”

“I needed someone I could trust to come and let my dog out for a pee break and give him a bit of exercise on a day I'd be away longer than usual. Jacky was great. She show'd up on time, let me know what was going on and even sent a photo of them on a walk. Highly recommend Jacky!”

“I cant always make our daily walks and Emma has helped many times. Very happy to have someone who can handle Stellas Sled dog pulling energy.”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
