“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.”
About: I have my raised my own golden retriever myself and I love pets! I have always been an animal lover since I was young. I also love to go on walks and I am young and physically fit as well. I like in Oakville, Ontario and have a large fenced backyard. My pup, Juno, used to love playing with me in the backyard. I am available on weekends, evenings, early mornings & occasionally afternoons. I am very responsible and I am very friendly. I love the company of animals and I will give them the attention and love they deserve. Let me know details about your pet so I can learn more about them. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon! Please contact me via Rover so we can connect. I currently work a remote, work from home job. My hours are flexible and I often can be attentive around the clock. I am quite active and love to go on walks with a pet. I ensure my home is a safe environment for your pets by keeping it pet friendly. On walks, I am constantly assessing for hazards to keep your pet safe.
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.
About: Growing up in Turkey, I've been around stray cats and dogs all my life. It was always a joyful part of my daily routine to bring food and water out for them and getting to know all their little mannerisms. I've never had a pet of my own because I've always lived in small or shared apartments but I've been taking care of my friends' pets for almost a decade. I would love for your pet to be next! I've recently graduated, moved to Oakville and am working freelance so I get to manage my own schedule. I think dog walking and/or pet sitting will be a good opportunity for me to get to know the community and become more familiar with this town. I am very adaptable and detail oriented. I will make sure your pet is always safe and happy under my care. If you have any special requests for your pet's experience, trust that they will be taken care of.
“Joanne walked our two labs for a week while we were away (1 hour a day) to help our family who was watching them. She was fantastic!! They enjoyed their walks every day and our family said you could tell the dogs really liked her. It was so nice to receive walk updates and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Joanne again. Trustworthy, punctual and kept great communication with us. Thanks Joanne!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—big and small. From playful Boxers to feisty Westies, I understand how to match energy, personality, and needs. I’m confident handling both large and small breeds, and I bring a calm, caring presence that dogs instantly trust. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes or a senior pup needing a slower pace, I adapt every walk to suit your dog’s comfort and style. I have a flexible schedule during the school year while my kids are in school, which gives me plenty of availability for daytime walks and check-ins. In the summer, I’m often out and about with my kids—and we love including furry friends in our outdoor time! Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I treat every walk as a chance for your pup to get exercise, attention, and love. At my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, fenced yard for playtime and a cozy, stress-free environment. We’re close to scenic walking trails, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor exercise and enrichment. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving space where your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for.
“Brittany is amazing! She’s such a kind person, always punctual, communicative and so good with my fur baby. Would hands down recommend her to anyone interested in her services.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for a few years now. My friends always kept their dog back with me when they were travelling . So I always knew what they wanted and how to get things done for them I am currently going back to school but I will have plenty of time to take cute ones out for a walk or take care of them I have always made sure that they have access to enough food and water. And their toys. It just keeps them busy all the time. And always kept a check on the fences, door locks and made sure there is no open food lids or anything that can be harmful for the fluff baby
“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!”

“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.”
“Highly recommend Macy!!! Felt very comfortable with her and taking care of my dog!! Never had a issue with visits and very trustworthy!! I would highly recommend Macy for your dog care needs!!!”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was very young, including at animal shelters! I walked all sorts of dogs, from the very big to the very skiddish. No matter what pet you have, I'll make sure they get the best care possible! I am a student so I'll occasionally be in class, but I am free almost every single evening and most of the day as well! As someone who has walked, cleaned and played with countless animals at animal shelters, I am more than prepared for any kind of care your furry friend might need!

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.
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.
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!
You could tell Archie enjoyed his daily walk with Dylan as we were updated with photos of their time together each day. The booking was simple and Dylan even popped in for a meet & greet prior to the commencement of our booking. We had to make a last minute change & Dylan was flexible and able to accommodate it easily. This will not be the last time we use Dylan.
I am very finicky about my dog, and haven't had a great experience with other sitters and dog walkers. The experience with Sneha was nothing short of extraordinary. Sneha's experience as a dog trainer is exemplified through her conversations. Sending regular updates, bio breaks, exercise regime is given, but what I was not expecting is someone understanding small behavioural aspects of my dog, and giving some tips during my pick up. My dog totally trusts Sneha, and that was the most important thing that I was looking for. I shall recommend Sneha to anyone looking for boarding, day care or walking.
Tessa was awesome! She walked both of our dogs super well, sent lots of pictures, took them on nice long walks, and they always came back with big smiles on their faces! Tessa was really communicative, flexible and easy to work with. The dogs will be excited to walk with her again!
