About: Confident leash handler. Experienced with rescues, bully breeds, as well as reactive and senior dogs. Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I'm a big guy and LOVE big dogs (and little ones, too!) I am self employed and can be very flexible with when I'm available. I specialize in last minute bookings Let's book a meet and greet! Can't wait to meet your furry family member. 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 am a confident and physically strong leash handler. Recognizing dog body language (particularly with excitable or reactive dogs) and being proactive is key (Dogs, like us, don't need to say hi to everyone that crosses their paths). Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I am happy to administer any medications they may need while you are gone.

“Kristina was awesome to work with! She took our pup on long walks and sent loads of pictures. She communicated with us very quickly and sent updates on how he was doing. We felt he was well looked after in our absence. Thanks so much, Kristina!”

“Thanks so much for being able to walk the girls with such a short notice. It’s wonderful to have reliable people in our neighborhood. Not only do I walk their dog Cooper on Rover but now they also are providers. They sent great photos and it’s clear our dogs enjoyed their time with David and Jenna.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️

“Andrea was amazing with our dog, so kind and gentle with my dog! I can’t wait to use her service again, I have full trust in her with my dog.”

About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
