“Taylor was very attentive, read the situation ( it was incredibly hot) the day of her walk with our pup. She got the business done and engaged and played inside. Great communication. We will definitely use Taylor again”
“This is the second time we have used Ryan while we were out of town. He was just amazing! Ryan kept us updated and spent extra time with our dog as she was lonely.”
“Alicia was very sweet and easy to work with. She was genuinely curious to know more about Luffy before their walk together to ensure the walk went well. I felt I could trust her in my home and with Luffy. She took lots of photos (which I loved) and accurately recorded his outdoor business.”
“Emily is great! Gives good feedback and our pup is very happy.”
“Chyna is great, I had her walk my dog almost every day while I was away on a trip to get his energy out while other people were watching him, I had great peace of mind knowing that he would be safe and have a great time with her, she made the process very easy and was very self sufficient given I was out of the country and unable to answer messages quickly. We will continue to book with Chyna, she did a great job, and will recommend her to anyone!”

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.
“Keyla was on time and so friendly to both of our dogs. Archie took right to Keyla with over excitement jumping, she immediately met Archie at his level and gave him lots of love! Love the rover card so that you know the route they take! Even though this was just a meet and greet, Keyla was comfortable and asking questions about likes and dislikes of our dogs. Definitely will be booking more walks for Archie and puppy visits for Ruby with Keyla! Thank You”
“Adela has been doing a great job. She is very attentive, reliable and kind. Blaze loves her and I highly recommend using her for her services!”
“My dog is always so excited to see Heather when she comes to take her for a walk. Heather is very reliable and always communicates with texts and photos. It is cute to see the photos she takes of Takoda on their walks. She often spends extra play time after their walk which I know Takoda really loves.”
“Brittany was super with our dog. He’s an older 12 year old but still excitable lab and it was a very, very hot day. But, Brittany showed up on time and walked him for a solid (and sweating!) 30 minutes!”

About: I am a long-time pet lover and owner! I've had large and small dogs along with cats over my life. I had a large dog (Rottweiler 98lbs) with aggression issues, so I'm not put off by a little attitude from your pet. Every animal has its own personality just like humans. I am certified in Canine First Aid and have Dog Behaviour (basic), Dog to Dog Aggression, Canine Separation Anxiety, Daycare & Group Play Assessment and Dog Walking Certification course training. I lost my pet recently from cancer and am not ready to readopt yet. I promise I will love and care for your pet as my own. I promise to be very respectful and tidy while in/around your home. I feel that communication is very important while pet parents are away, so I like to give updates and photos of our adventures. I am Oakville born and raised. I went to St.Mildred's & OTHS then studied at George Brown College. I live in Old Oakville. I am an activist on animal rights and do what I can to help ALL animals. You may find me at a protest or rally fighting for the rights of all animals on the weekends. I am very close with my family so don't be surprised if you see my folks at the house hanging out. I grew up in an animal house and my folks love animals also but don't have any pets right now either. I would love a chance to meet you and your pet family! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :) I am a pet sitting Professional!! That's what I do!! I take care and love your pet like it was my own. Right now, I work at an office where I can bring pets with me or leave for walks and love anytime. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can. I also have a car so we can go to a mix of parks. I live at a house with my parents with nice little yard and a park right out front. This makes it easy for quick walk and lots of good smell to keep the dog cognitive arousal fulfilled. There is an abundance of parks around me.

“Fatime was more than happy and comfortable to walk our 3 year old lab and two of our new 4-month old puppies! She walked all three of them at the same time twice a day while we were away. She always sent photos and kept us updated on how the walks went. I felt so comfortable leaving our pups with her. Would 1000% rebook her and plan to do so!”

Andrew C.
“Andrew is an exceptional dog sitter who’s love for animal’s especially dogs, is apparent through his unique way of connecting and establishing a therapeutic relationship with dogs and their owner. Specifically, our dog Nahla suffers from separation anxiety. We were initially afraid to leave her in the hands of a pet sitter but Andrew’s initial encounter with her was short of amazing. He uses a gentle approach through his interactions and is attentive to her cues when a need has to be met. I have recommended his service to all my close friends. Trust me you will not be disappointed!!”
Robert M.
“I’ve used Kyle with two dogs (Breed-Vizsla-58 pounds). He is attentive, engaging, playful yet firm when needed for things like a big burly dog coming in our direction. He uses prompts in accordance with what we do at home (for consistency and practice) and tailors actions to meet the dog’s needs. His voice, body posture and non-verbal energy supports good leadership and my dogs follow his energy based upon the dog’s body language. He attends to safety above all. I’ve walked with him and observed his dog handling skill and highly recommend him.”

Jennifer D.
“Jennie is fantastic! We were able to have her come in and take care of our senior cat and kitten on short notice when our other sitter had issues. She was able to interact with both our cats (senior girl can be a bit difficult) and play with them. She is extremely patient and is able to keep both cats entertained and happy!
