About: I had been living with and taking care of cats since I was 6 years old. I am absolutely a cat lover and couldn’t imagine life without cats being around. I am currently a parent of two cats, one male and one female who are both neutered. I had experiences taking care of new born kittens as well as helping neighbours and friends taking care of their cats and have them staying at my house when they are on vacations. I have a big clean house with fenced yard and finished basement located in a nice neighbourhood in Oakville. If I am lucky to have your precious cats staying with us in my house, they can play with my cats or stay alone whatever they want. I will make sure to provide them everyday clean filtered water to drink, dry and canned food to eat, dust-free litter to use, and toys and cat trees to play with, and of course my love :) We always have somebody at home so very flexible to do home stays for cats. We have 2 cats and one child currently go to school which proves we are responsible and reliable people. I live in a nice clean and big house with fenced yard and finished basement located in Oakville. We have 2 cats to give your cats company, also if your cats want to be alone we have enough space and levels in the house to keep them separated.

“Ruiyan is great! We have used her services so many times to check in on our cats while we’re away and she is always on time, responds quickly, sends the best photos, and has even accepted last minute bookings. I can tell from the photos that the cats love her. Highly recommend Ruiyan! 🐱”


About: When my 10-year-old son's eyes lit up at the sight of a caramel toy Poodle, I knew that moment would redefine our lives. Over the past 18 years, I've learned that raising these intelligent fluff balls is equal parts joy, responsibility, and master-level psychology. I'm willing to meet you and your pets. I'm retired, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding every day, which would allow me to walk your dog daily, pending your dog's needs. I have a fenced backyard, a friendly toy poodle, and a comfortable and clean house. I hope your pets will be safe and comfortable in my home.

About: I had a dog named Honey that I had since she was 8 weeks old that recently crossed the rainbow bridge at 18years. I am not ready for a dog of my own yet, but I can’t imagine not having a dog in my life. I work from home so I can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. From puppies to senior dogs that require more attention! I am a software developer that works from home. My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the day so I can work with your dog’s needs Your dog’s safety will be my number one priority when walking. Also please do not hesitate to let me know if there are any special instructions or needs!

About: I provide a safe and reliable environment for your furry friend. Having been a dog owner for many years, I understand how important it is to know you’re leaving your pet in the right hands. I have fostered and owned many rescue dogs over the years. My experience has enabled me to understand many different types of dog personalities. I currently live in a townhome across the street from a beautiful park where my dogs often love to play. The community is safe and full of other happy dogs. There are also plenty of trails just a short drive away that are waiting to be explored! I am confident in my ability to care for all types of dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am currently working full time Monday to Friday with flexibility to work from home when needed. I have weekends free and would like some furry friends to include in my daily activities such as walking and hiking. I have recently had to say goodbye to my beautiful boxer Kelso, I have a lot of love to give and would enjoy filling my days with some new furry friends. I can assure you that your beloved pet will be in excellent hands whether they stay in my home or yours. I will make sure they get plenty of attention, regular meals, and all the play time and walks they need to be happy and healthy. Their routine will be kept consistent, ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and secure in your absence.

About: 💕Caring for animals has always been my passion. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with a joyful parrot, cared for graceful cats, best dogs and now, I have an amazing, well-trained dog by my side. I personally handled all of my dog’s training, which taught me how essential being patient and caring. Understanding each dog’s unique needs and providing them with a safe and loving environment is not just something I do—it’s a way of life for me. I take pride in earning their trust and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. With my love for animals and hands-on experience, I’m confident that your dog will be in the best hands.🎀 I’m a dog mom studying from home, I have a big house with a very big grass fenced yard, I love walking with my dog, preparing some mental stimulation for dogs to keep them in a healthy mental state, and I’m always stick to their routine. I believe dogs need both love and respect to thrive. While I shower them with affection and attention, I also understand the importance of providing the structure and routine they need to feel secure. Respecting their boundaries and helping them feel like a valued member of the family or pack is at the heart of how I build trust-based relationships with animals. In my care, every day is a balance of fun, structure, and plenty of love. A healthy dog is one who enjoys a balanced, fulfilling life, and I’m committed to creating that environment for them. With my experience, dedication, and nurturing yet disciplined approach, I ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and truly cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my house my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their dogs and cats on countless occasions. I’ve recently volunteered at the Burlington Humane Society as a dog walker for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behaviours looking for a forever home. I have two cats of my own at home who are bundles of joy. I will carefully and lovingly care for your pet, as I know how special they are to you. I’m currently working from home full time. I am available for dog walks and drop in pet care visits anytime after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am very responsible and pay close attention to detail. I will ensure your pets needs are met and will provide exceptional care and love toward your pets on walks and drop in visits. I have used/can use commands depending on your preference and your pets routine.

About: I’ve had animals all my life. I absolutely love dogs and cats and have a dog of my own. My dog is animal reactive so I’m comfortable dealing with your pup even if they’re reactive. Lots of love and compassion ready to share with your baby! I’m currently in school for osteopathy while working as a Kinesiologist on the side. I’m available in my free time to help care for your animals :) I currently don’t offer in home boarding but I’m happy to work on meeting your animals needs during walks or check ins! Let me know what their routine is and we can make a plan!

“Meghan was reliable and gave us peace of mind regarding our cat during her drop-in visits. She was able to administer our cat's medication and clean her litter box as well as interacting with her. I definitely recommend her.”


About: I am literally crazy for canines—love their beautiful souls and their big hearts. I have never worked as a professional pet sitter before but have over 25 years of experience looking after my own dogs. I am planning to go to school part time and I am a caregiver for my mom. I spend a lot of time with my girls but have flexibility in my schedule to care for your canine babies. My son Armaan has a special bond with all animals, bugs, birds, etc. He can pretty much take care of any pet! I will be looking after your pets in your home. I will accompany dogs into the yard to play and check to make sure yard gates are closed properly. No yard? No problem! I can take them out on a mini walk so they can relieve themselves. On walks, I am careful to maintain a safe distance between dogs and other walkers, joggers, etc. I make sure dogs are well hydrated and their environment is safe and clean.

About: Have cat sat before for friends, i love walking so don't get tired and don't mind a dog to keep company, no experience with puppies/kittens I love dogs and walking so thought why not help those that need a hand with taking care of their dogs. For both dogs and cats I enjoy playing with them and can help you out with making sure they are cared for when you are not able to be with them. Feed, potty break, play with them as needed. My friends cats pur when i pet them,dogs enjoy having someone to play with. For walks don't know if they will tire before me lol.

About: I’m a fur-mom with over 25 years of pet experience. Having taken dog training basics, I am familiar with dog behaviour and communication. Your furbabies will be treated with the same love, care, and respect as my own. On my available days, I’m home with the furbabies all day. We spend our time taking walks, playing outside, napping, interacting, or giving cuddles. I have no doubt that they’ll have a Pawsome time with me and my gang and that your furbaby will be excited to come again! I work from home most days of the week, which allows me to be available for your furbabies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On my unavailable days I also use Rover for pet care for my little Blossom. Blossom has many fur friends and knows the neighbourhood dogs well. I am lucky to not be working on weekends, so my Saturdays and Sundays are quite flexible. Furbaby activities include walks, play, park time, training challenges (with rewards), rest, snack time, and snuggles. Animals are able to access the fenced in yard upon request so bathroom schedules are very flexible. Fresh water is always accessible on any level of the house. I offer care in my own home. Animals are treated like family. I keep furbabies safe by using retractable pet gates to temporarily restrict areas of the homes, like when a delivery occurs, during meal times, or as friends get to know one another. I have a fenced in yard for getting business done, or for lazing and basking in the sun. Lots of animal safe toys and beds are available for play or rest, but I’ll be honest, I allow furbabies on the furniture as much as I do the people. Positive play and reinforcement is part of our daily routine and is geared toward the individual personality of the animal. Living with me is a middle-aged and tolerant short haired cat, and a shy but easy going Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of two years. I expect a meet and greet prior to confirming a booking to ensure personality fit and safety of all our friends.

About: Years of volunteering with senior and special-needs dogs, behavior experience, enrichment focus, and deep compassion ensure your pup gets expert, loving care tailored to their needs. I currently work part-time, giving me plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m available most days, including weekends and holidays! I provide safe, personalized care in both my home and yours, including regular walks, structured play, feeding, enrichment activities, grooming, and lots of love and cuddles.

“We hired Charlie to look after our pet rabbits for 11 days while we were "off the grid" (camping in a remote area with no cell service). She did a fabulous job - the bunnies were well cared for and their cages were nice and clean when we got home. We could see from the garbage bag that the cages had been cleaned regularly while we were away. At one point something in our living room was setting off an alarm and Charlie was not able to get ahold of us, so she had to use common sense and deal with it herself. She unplugged the offending item, which is exactly what we would have instructed her to do. Our home was in very good hands. We highly recommend Charlie and hope to have her look after our bunnies in the future.”

She walks her own dogs multiple times a day, plays with them for hours, frequently takes them out for excursions (beach, park, stores that allow pets) and even cooks them her own vet-approved homemade dog food and treats. There is literally nothing she wouldn't do for her pets!”


Wilmer F.
“I approached Will when I had an office trip due to which I had to travel out of country for a week. I used his service to walk help walk my big boy Bruno, a very energetic German Shepherd who is at his prime. Will took care of him just like I would giving Bruno the time needed to be himself. By the second walk Bruno found Will as someone whom he could trust and that’s a big thing. For the first time I heard Bruno loving his walks so much that he used to wait at the door waiting for Will. Will is great at his job, and truly loves pets like his own. Will took him out 3 times a day and each of the walks per day were different routes which made the walks enjoyable. I would highly recommend Will for any pet parent, he is great at what he does and someone who is willing to flex his schedule to help during any unforeseen schedule changes as well. Overall a great experience and will definitely avail his service again. Thank you Will.”

Morvarid M.
“If there’s one person I’d describe as truly dedicated to dogs, it’s Mori. Her passion goes far beyond casual interest, it’s part of who she is. Whether she’s volunteering at shelters, walking dogs with unique behavioral needs, or attending training sessions to expand her knowledge, Mori brings heart, focus, and purpose to everything she does. What stands out most is her genuine desire to learn. She’s always asking questions, observing carefully, and looking for ways to improve the lives of the dogs she works with. From senior dogs to those with special challenges, Mori sees each one as an individual, deserving of compassion, patience, and joy. She always putting the dogs’ well-being first. Mori doesn’t just love dogs, she respects them. She listens to them, understands them, and gives them the care and attention they truly deserve. Watching her work with animals is inspiring, and I feel lucky to know someone so committed to making a difference.”
