Chyna was a lifesaver and so gentle with our dog who was quite shy and unsettled due to a move.

About: Hi, I’m Mo! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs for family, friends, and referrals, along with 5 years of professional experience in dog daycare and dog walking, I bring both knowledge and heart to everything I do. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s a fun, active walk or a calm, comforting visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I’ve intentionally made time for. I’ve recently come off maternity leave and decided to step away from my corporate role to return to working with dogs, a true passion of mine, while having a more flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, Monday to Friday, with plenty of time and attention to dedicate to each pet in my care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, cozy space where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine and personality so their stay feels as close to home as possible. They’ll get lots of attention, and supervision throughout the day, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will truly be treated like part of the family!

About: Most of my pet care experiences are from owning lizard and fishes. But 5 months ago, I started dog walking and I recently adopted a cat and I realized how much I enjoyed being around furry friends ✨️😊 Since it's my summer break from college, I would love to use this as opportunity to enjoy my summer break with furry friends while earning money. When I'm walking my dog client, I make sure he gets his exercise by playing catch, walking, playing with other dogs, exploring, and I make sure to keep him safe. I make sure my cat at home also gets his playtime with me, make sure his bowls are cleaned every time I refill his bowl for food and water 😊

About: I've owned and loved dogs since I was 10 and been the go-to person called upon for relatives, family and friends to walk, feed, dog-sit or simply play with any and all furry four-legged friends. They've provided me so much love and joy and I try to give that back to a human's best friend at every opportunity I can! I'm currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule to take your dog out for walks and make sure they're well looked after while you may be out during the days! After a meeting with you and your dog I can create a level of trust with the very good boy or girl and get a feel for what your needs and expectations are.

About: I took great care of my girl who lived to 16! Been missing her and our daily walks. I used to walk neighbourhood dogs and cat-sit for some friends of mine. I’m looking to care for your pets through walks, house visits or sitting! I am currently working part-time, mostly nights, preparing to start my masters in psychotherapy :) I have a lot of availability during the day, if you need someone to walk your dog/care for your cats throughout the day. Message me for any specific days/times you may need and we can work something out :) I can ensure your dogs/cats safety through frequent check-in’s, sending photos of how your pet is doing! I currently do not have any animals at my house, as my pup passed in February, we can work out details on how you’d want to ensure trust between you, me and your pet!

Nikki was great with our cats, even our shy one got close to her and allowed a good few belly rubs which should tell you all you need to know. Nikki was very attentive taking care of their needs and playing with them to help them spend some energy. I highly reccommend her and will use her services again.

About: I’ve always found that I connect best with cats as they are such beautiful, independent, and warm creatures. With 5+ years of experience caring for them, I understand how to read their body language and respect their boundaries. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves intense playtime or a shy hider who just needs a quiet, calm human around to keep them company and respect their space, I am here for them. I will treat your furry family member with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I am a student who’s on summer break, available most of the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please let me know what time works for you. I’d place safety and trust as my top priorities. On the first visit, I’d like to learn your home's setup, know where the carrier and vet info are kept just in case, and find out where your cat likes to hide when they want some peace. I’m incredibly respectful of your privacy, clean up thoroughly after feeding and litter duty, and will always double-check that your locks and alarms are perfectly set before I leave. You can head out knowing everything at home is completely looked after.

About: I've raised two puppies and two kittens. I currently have a beagle and two cats at home that all get along. I make my pets a priority in my home and would love more company for them! I work from home so I am able to offer walking, drop ins and boarding in my home! Anything that fits your needs I can help. I have a fenced in yard and I have a dog crate if needed for boarding. I can keep my cats separate also if your dog does prefer that.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. Me and my biologist cousin used to rescue dogs and cats that lived around our camp house back in my hometown. I am a really active person and love going for runs and hikes. My best friends for this have been dogs that want to get their energy out as much as I do. I believe all pets are different and appreciate owner communication to get to know your pet better! Excited to meet you! I’m currently a full-time teacher so my weekday schedule goes until 4pm. However I will go into summer vacation soon along with my student so I’ll have much more availability during that time. For now, weekends are my to go but any late afternoon weekday visits are welcome. I love having a detailed description of the pets I’m going to take care of beforehand. Are they afraid of something specific? Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they have any medical conditions? I carry my own equipment for walking and giving dogs a drink (I appreciate if they have favourite treats we can bring along for long walks!)

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.

About: I have a sweet female golden doodle and I want her to have fun with new friends. I take very good care of dogs so only take 1 dog at a time 😊 I run my own studio and working from home. I take kayce (my dog) for many walks a day and can take another friend with us 😊 I have a fenced yard where my dog can play with yours. They are also welcomed anywhere in the house. I don’t crate dogs but have multiple rooms if they need separation.

About: Hi there 🐾 I’m Meghna, a local dog lover and pet sitter who genuinely enjoys hanging out with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfy, and cared for while you’re away. A calm, home-style environment is provided with walks, attention, and care tailored to each dog’s routine. Usual schedules are followed so dogs can settle in easily and feel comfortable throughout the day. Each dog is looked after with patience and genuine care, based on their personality and what they need — whether that’s space, playtime, or extra cuddles. Can’t wait to meet them 🐶✨ Here for walks, stays, and everything in between. As a responsible pet caregiver, I prioritize their well-being in my daily routine. This includes regular feeding schedules, consistent exercise through walks or play, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Additionally, I allocate time for training and mental stimulation to keep them engaged. Adapting my routine to their specific needs fosters a strong bond and ensures their happiness and health. I live in a townhome with my husband, and we both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. We also have a very friendly dog who’s well-socialized and used to being around other pets. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure your furry baby feels right at home. (My dog says hi! 🐾)

Angelika has been wonderful with Zoey. This was our first time working with her, and she made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring from the start. Zoey came home happy, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Angelika gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable to care for their dog.

About: I have grown up with dogs and now have a 7 year old Golden Retriever. I used to work at Rens Pet Depot for 5 years and have some knowledge about different breeds. I love all breeds (especially the big babies). My retriever is raw fed so I am completely comfortable feeding your dog raw food, fresh food, or kibble! I am currently babysitting for 2 families a couple hours at a time, so taking care of dogs, walking or popping in would be perfect for in between and to get some more hours for me! Having worked in a pet supply store I have a few tricks that I have learned and can help do slight training and can work with whichever way works best for you! Especially with potty training if needed. My Golden Retriever uses a gentle leader to help their pulling, so I am completely comfortable using those! Only thing I have not used is a prong collar. I’m willing to learn new ways and am flexible to do what works for you are your dogs! I also do give a lot of attention, pets and cuddles to my guys so there is a big chance your dogs will get extra loving too!

We had Anna look after our pets for a few days as we had to be away. She arrived at the agreed upon times and was very conscientious keeping water bowls filled, litter cleaned and food containers well rinsed to keep odours down. She was very responsive when I contacted her and was happy to do a couple of small things like bring in packages off the step. This was our first experience with Anna and we'd be happy to have her take care of our pets again.
