About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
About: Grew up around dogs since birth. Good with big and small dogs as I grew up around both. Very loving person who loves to make dogs happy! I am a stay at home, love taking my dog on long walks, playing and spending quality time together as he is my best friend. I have a two year old cockapoo that can keep your I dog company and have a crate at my place if needed. My dog is very friendly!

About: I am privileged to have been able to care for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. This includes energetic kittens, senior cats, confident social butterflies, and shy or “spicy” cats who need a little extra patience and understanding. My experience comes from nearly a decade with my own shy and "spicy" cat, Mink, as well as my role as a Team Lead at a compassionate no-kill cat shelter in Barrie, ON. I rescued Mink at just 8 weeks old from a home where she was unfortunately bullied by other animals. As my first-ever cat, she really threw me into the deep end! I am forever grateful to have learned off the bat from her the importance of patience, boundaries, and trust-building with cats. Despite Mink now thriving as a spoiled only child, I still felt I had more love to give, which brought me to my work at the shelter. Through my role as a Team Lead there, I’ve been so very lucky to work hands-on with hundreds of cats, especially during what can be one of the most stressful times in their lives. I've bonded with playful kittens learning socialization, senior cats needing gentler care and extra comfort, overweight cats on monitored feeding routines, nervous cats who prefer space and quiet companionship, and outgoing cats who want all the attention they can get. My approach is based on patience and understanding, and is always customized to each individual cat’s personality and needs. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, patience, routine, a little extra help grooming, or simply a calm and reliable presence while you’re away, I will care for them in the way that keeps them most comfortable and happy until you're home. I create my own schedule, so I am quite flexible and happy to work together to find a routine that works for you and your cat! Littering, feeding, playing, grooming, cleaning, cuddling, loving! I am also able to pill and crate the trickiest of kitties - Mink and the shelter cats have taught me well. Photos will always be included while you're away. I know first-hand how much of a comfort they can be when you're missing them! Overnight housesitting also an option.
About: I have taken excellent care of pets for friends, family members and clients since I was 14 years old. I have also had pets of my own (dogs, cats, fish, bunnies) that have provided me a lot of knowledge around how to best take care of different animals at all stages of life. While I do work 8:00-4:00 during the week. I partner with my sister to ensure that I can provide the best care possible with her stopping in during the day if required. As a pet sitter, my priority is providing a safe, loving environment where your pets feel at ease. You can trust that I'll treat them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top concern, always
About: I have three little guys of my own ranging from 1 year to 9. All with completely different personalities, but equally lovable. I’ve administered subcutaneous injections and multiple types of medications. I can’t say I have a passion for deep-cleaning litter boxes but it is something that must be done and I have no problem doing.
About: I understand that dogs are our "Best Friends" but I also fully understand and believe that dogs become part of our family and friend circle. We consider them a part of our life...but to dogs we are their everything...they live solely for us and depend solely on us for life. We should always honor and trust that bond . They are truly magnificent creatures and and deserve to be loved. I would take care of your furry family member as I would my own. I have an amazing back yard which is completely fenced my home is pet friendly and I would walk your dog to his or hers favourite park and we will laugh and have fun and meet new friends along the way. Furlove always
About: I have grown up with cats and have always had rescues. I have volunteered at a local cat shelter and fostered a pregnant mama and help raise her 4 babies until they were all ready to be adopted. Two of the kittens were adopted by me (foster fail lol) and I also have another rescue who was abandoned by her owners. I would love to come visit your cats, play and spend time with them along with feeding, (giving medication if necessary) and make sure their water bowls and litter boxes are cleaned at each visit. I look forward to meeting your and your kitties.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since high school, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality. I also worked on a dairy farm for 10 years, where we always had dogs around (including five that hung out with us in the parlour!), so I’m super comfortable with animals. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m currently a student at Georgian College and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. Tuesdays are my only fully busy day, but I have availability at various times on all other days. I’m especially available during evenings and weekends, making it easy to fit walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting into my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. At my home, I have a fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, as well as plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax. I also have a friendly Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely. If a dog prefers their own space, I have a spare room where they can relax privately. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I prioritize safety, supervision, and lots of attention to make sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly.

She provided lots of walks for him, gave him lots of cuddles and he was comfortable around her, even providing tail wags (which not many people get). We hope to book again soon!”
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”
“Hanna has taken such good care of Raia and keeps me updated with lots of photos and videos throughout the day. She is quick to respond and easy to talk to. Hanna has done such an amazing job to ensure that Raia’s routine is the same as at home and has done her very best to keep Raia happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Hanna as a sitter for your furry loved ones if you are looking for someone that truly cares about your pet. I would 100% rebook with her in the future”

I cannot speak more highly of due and family. I will definitely be rebooting with sue for mt next trip. Thank you so much”
“Fantastic family, I felt at ease having Burpee in their care for a week while I was out of the country. Great communication and photos throughout the stay, you can see they love dogs and he was well taken care of. The fenced backyard is great set up and I’m sure Burpee appreciated. Looking forward to another stay with them”

“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Donna and her family! Both Gus and Winnie are senior dogs (14 and 13) who have been going to the same kennel for 10 years. When our kennel had to cancel last minute we were at a loss as we had a 3 week trip coming up -over the Easter holiday - and no one to watch the dogs. This was our first Rover experience and I’m so glad it worked out! Gus and Winnie have never stayed with anyone else so we were really nervous. Donna was so great at making both dogs comfortable and communicating with us while we were away. Gus had some issues early on (we think due to stress) and Donna went out of her way to adjust her schedule and his surroundings so that he was comfortable. Winnie is your typical snuggly Pug and I could tell she was right at home by the photos sent of her snuggling on the couch and hanging out with Donna’s children. Would definitely recommend Donna - thank you!”
“Liz is excellent service provider. We used her service first time, no complaints at all. She fed our dog on time shared tons of photos with us of him playing eating and sleeping every day. I highly recommend her.”
“Dianne and her family took such great care of my Roxy and Mozart. I could tell they were well taken care of and well loved. Will 100% leave my pups with them again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Rhinestone was in great spirits when I picked him up. Jess was friendly and smiled and got to meet her daughter which helped keep Rhinestone busy. I got lots of photos. As this was his first stay with Jess, she did right in reducing some anxiety to leave your pet with a stranger. I like that Jess is adaptable and her daughter giving all this extra TLC to Rginestone is golden. Can't wait to bring him back.”
“Maisy, the 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and Dexter the 13-year-old Corgi mix looked like they slept pretty good and we're definitely well cared for. Four nights! It looks like they had a great time on their walks and the experience with Charlene was wonderful. She has a wonderful family welcoming young and old doggies. Highly recommend! Thank you so much”
