“Last week was the first week of dog walking with Melissa. She’s a caring, kind and loving person. She has completely won over Maisy (my Multi Poo as well as my service/companion.”
“I was in a bit of a last minute bind, and Mike really helped me out with his walks. Milo adores him, and he can be prickly with some men. He's excited when he hears Mike come down the hallway, and I always get cute pictures with little stories to tell me about his adventures. I absolutely recommend Mike if you need someone to care for your pup.”
“Guangxu and his wife were very punctual with taking out Luffy for his walks. They followed all my instructions well and even made sure to clean his bum and paws after his walks. They provided clear feedback, lots of updates and photos while on the walk. I can see why they’re considered star sitters. ☺️”
“Robert has been wonderful with our Marley. We went on vacation for a few days, and Robert took him out for walks twice a day. He was always oj time, kept me updated on everything, and Marley really enjoyed the walks with him.”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have a rescue cat named Priscilla. I also helped care for my family's senior dog, Tyler, who had arthritis, mobility challenges, and age-related health issues. Through that experience, I became comfortable adapting routines, monitoring changes in behavior, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets often need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've pet sat for friends and family over the years, looking after both dogs and cats in their homes. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, basic medication administration, and following detailed care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pets are already a big part of my daily life! Between caring for my rescue cat, Priscilla, and helping family and friends with their pets, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and love getting outside for walks, playing with energetic pups, or spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I'll make sure your pet receives lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away! I work hybrid, so my only limited days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, where I am still available after 3 pm. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! Before any booking, I'd love to learn about your pet's personality, preferences, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm naturally organized, detail-oriented, and dependable. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any other guidance you provide. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!
“Macy was wonderful with my pet. I was getting constant updates before and after the walk. My oet was very comfortable with her. This is the first time I had a stress free vacation. Would definitely recommend Macy to anyone and would go for a repeat incase I need in future.”
About: I am literally crazy for canines—love their beautiful souls and their big hearts. I am new to professional pet sitting but have over 25 years of experience looking after my own dogs. I spend a lot of time with my senior 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: 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. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can and they usually love the little adventures. 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.

“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Madeline. She is truly a gem—caring, attentive, accommodating and incredibly patient. Our dog can be quite a handful at times due to his anxiety and sensitivity, especially around new people and other dogs. But from the very beginning, Madeline, approached him with such calmness and understanding that it was clear she truly has a gift with animals. She took the time to earn his trust and created a walk routine that not only suits his needs but also brings him so much joy. It’s now one of the highlights of his day! Thanks to her gentle and consistent approach, our dog now looks forward to his walks with excitement and we feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such capable and compassionate hands. We can’t recommend her enough—she’s made a world of difference for our little one and for us.”
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 grew up with a dog who was a beloved member of my family for 16 years, which gave me firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life - from playful puppy years to the extra patience and attention that come with senior care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive to routines and special instructions, and committed to making sure your pet feels loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently taking three online summer school courses, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time outside of my classes. I can accommodate walks twice a day and make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. As a dog walker, I don’t anticipate on having the dog in my home. In the clients home, I would follow all household rules, security measures, and cleaning up after myself and the pet. I would provide regular updates and even photos so the owners have peace of mind.
“I highly recommend Elizabeth as your dog walker. She is reliable, sends photos, and shows true care for your pet. I know my dog loved her two visits and walks from Elizabeth today. I will definitely have her back again.”

Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I’ve intentionally made time for.

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!

Michael is amazing!! I was so anxious and hesitant giving my puppy (Ripley) to someone I didn’t know, to walk him—especially since I was alone in the home. We have used Michael many times and he is ALWAYS on time and very reliable. He also really puts in the time and effort with pictures from the walk, how Ripley did on the walk…as well as what he did (ie. poops and pees). Michael seems to genuinely love walking dogs. He has been a god send since I am injured and unable to walk Ripley myself. Michael is a gentle, calming force who knows how to handle Ripley; including his zoomies and puppy energy!! Ripley loves to meet other dogs and Michael always makes sure their meet and greet goes smoothly!! We will be using Michael again and again :)
Guangxu is a great sitter. He takes his time to walk Luffy and allows him to sniff and enjoy the weather even if he ends up going past their 30 minute walk. I like that he cleans Luffys bum and paws after their walks as his paws are sensitive to outdoor allergens. Thank you!
Gokce was amazing. She was very communicative, keeping us informed of any issues that arose with our dogs while we were away. The dogs quickly took to Gokce which gave us the required calm to go away and leave our beloved pets in the hands of a highly competent provider. We would love to use Gokce again!
I’m so grateful for the care and attention my dog received. Julia did a fantastic job—reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I could tell my dog was happy and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker.
Alicia has a lovely personality and that works well with my dog. She is punctual and true to her word - never cancels at the last minute etc. Additionally, she does her very best to accommodate my schedule, even though hers is so booked up. Sage is a fan and so are we!
Irene has been a fantastic dog sitter! She’s extremely responsible and always arrives on time. She has plenty of experience handling bigger dogs with confidence and care. What really stood out to us was how thoughtful and attentive she is. During the recent hot weather, she adjusted her visits to later in the evening when it was cooler and offered to bring water for our dog. We truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
