She always comes home very happy and tired from the nice long walks he takes her on. When we dropped Ruby off at Glens she ran right up to him so excited to see him again which puts us at ease when we leave. Thanks again Glen for taking such good care of our baby girl for us 🙂”

“Chico stayed with Smita and her husband for two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. When we got him back, it was clear he had been well cared for. He was clean, happy, and had clearly been eating well. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Me and my boyfriend had to go away for the weekend and Liz took care of our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we have ever left her with someone since we got her so we were both nervous. Liz was absolutely amazing she sent us pictures and videos of our kiddo, and oh boy did our little puppy have a blast. Besides sleeping at night I don’t think she stopped playing which is great for her. I’m so glad we found Liz and welcomed our kiddo into a part of her family like one of her own. Thank you so much! She had a blast:)”

“This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Oleksandra did not disappoint!! My family and I had to be out of our house for a week to try to sell our home and we booked our pet-friendly airbnb a little late so we had no place for my 4 kitties! Oleksandra was not only kind enough to help out but she also called on a friend to pick up and drop off with her because her vehicle wasn't working! She was fantastic with sending me photos and videos of my kitties and they were all taken great care of!! Oleksandra was a lifesaver and a sweet person as well!! Thank you SO much for your help with my kitties (who mean a lot to me!!) - especially during such a tumultuous time in our lives! Definitely recommend Oleksandra for anyone who needs help with pet care!! <3”

“Sayali, thank you very much for taking such a good care of my little dude. I can tell he really enjoyed the time he spent with you all. He loved playing with your dogs 😍.”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

Nora and I met Kollin, his girlfriend, and their fur babies for a meet and great, and I was immediately reassured that they would be a great fit for Nora.

I look forward to having them look after Nora I’m the future!”
“Amazing!! I loved how many pictures and videos Alexandria sent me it was very comforting knowing Leo was happy!

About: Having fostered and rescued stubborn Rottweilers, I know that helping animals is something I truly feel connected with.

Work offers flex time, so mid day requirements are easily met. Happy to pet sit at my home during my home office work hours as well. In home = crate, no furniture, 100% leashed outdoors until mutual agreed on (approved sniff spot / fenced areas). In your home = the animal/owner preference, home yard rules applied.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet. I cared for my rescue dog through her senior years and was with her right until her last day, which taught me how important compassion, consistency, and gentle care are — especially for older pets or animals with unique needs. I also have experience fostering a large, energetic dog, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy pets that need lots of activity, structure, and engagement. I’ve always lived with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I’m a very active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, playtime, and spending time outdoors, and I have flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently pursuing my PhD which leaves my schedule very flexible and open throughout the week. I'm not constrained by regular working hours (i.e. 9-5) and often make my own schedule so my availability is very open! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any specific care instructions their owner provides. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and comfort levels, and I always try to make them feel secure while their owner is away. Because I’ve cared for both energetic dogs and senior pets, I understand that every animal has different needs. I can provide active walks and play for high-energy dogs, while also being patient and gentle with older pets who may need slower pacing, medication support, or extra comfort and supervision. I also make sure owners feel at ease by being reliable, respectful of their space, and communicative with updates and photos. My goal is always to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own animals — with kindness, consistency, and genuine attention.
“Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk. Put my mind at ease while away that he was getting exercise. Would definitely recommend Walter to anyone looking for pet care. Very satisfied.”
About: I have been a huge dog lover since I was young! I have a passion for working with animals and have experience with handling and training leash aggressive, reactive dogs! I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with all! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Although my partner and I live in Thamesford, Ontario, I frequently travel to Toronto to babysit our family dog. This often involves planning my week around these visits to ensure I can spend quality time with our family pet. In Thamesford, I also enjoy babysitting and walking other local dogs in my free time. This helps me stay active and engaged with the community. My days often consist of working from home and being able to walk and check in on dogs throughout the day to make sure they are comfortable and happy! Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities and remote work requires good time management, but it's a rewarding part of my life that I truly cherish. If I was going to a clients home I would treat it as I treat my own home, with respect and cleanliness. In my own home my dog was the king of the house lol and I treat him as such. Any pets I encounter and look after will be treated with the utmost respect and care because I love animals and love being around them! I would definitely consider myself an animal whisperer. :)

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.
About: I have 7+ years in a professional setting working with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, rodents, and reptiles as well as lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats.

I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and temperaments of all animals. If there’s anything else you would like to know about me or my experience I’m happy to answer any questions!

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically.

I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!
“Maddy was such a great Dog Walker, our boy Dex loved going for walks with her, and Maddy even stayed and played with him in the backyard to get him some more exercise. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Hi, I recently lost my sweet terrier and he was not kennel suited so I understand that it’s comforting to have your your pet taken care of in a home. I have 2 cats but but they’re dog savvy and will hang out downstairs if they’re not comfortable. I would be most available on weekends as I’m home. Let me know what works for your pet. Walks, cuddles, and couch all included. I’ve had pets all my life and look forward to hanging out with yours. I have an easy going lifestyle and a large space with a fenced yard. Feel free to check it out before booking. Meet my pet and ensure this is a safe, comfortable place for yours. Thanks! I’m in the office a few days a week but can come home at lunchtime .Weekends are best but we could also work something out for during the week! I’m pretty flexible! We have a big home and a main floor with minimal stairs. We’re easy going and enjoy all types of dogs. Room for crates if needed and lots of dog beds for your pet to lounge in.I have a large fenced yard for your dog to run and play!
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it
About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!

It really gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such caring hands!”

“Sayali took amazing care of our dogs-we could tell they loved their stay and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Sayali and would have her take care of my dogs any day.”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”

“Yoda really liked Murdock and vice versa and I feel he enjoyed his time at her place. Yoda took great care of Murdock’s needs and he felt safe enough to spend the night on their bed. Thanks Yoda I’m glad I was able to leave my special boy in your care!”
“When I leave my dog with Kollin, I don’t have to worry about anything because Kollin ensures I can enjoy my time out without having to worry about anything. Extremely friendly guy, I highly recommend him!”
“Once again Ruby had a wonderful stay with Glen. We love seeing all the photos and messages that Glen sends to us while he is looking after her. She always comes home very happy and tired from the nice long walks he takes her on. When we dropped Ruby off at Glens she ran right up to him so excited to see him again which puts us at ease when we leave. Thanks again Glen for taking such good care of our baby girl for us 🙂”
“Angela was an amazing sitter! She sent pictures and videos regulary and was always available when I wanted to reach her. She wasn't just taking care of Loki but making her feel safe and welcomed. She was also very careful about the instructions we provided. We will definetely contact her again when we need a place for Loki to stay!”
“Joyce is fantastic!! I’ve never left my Bailey with anyone & was nervous about the whole thing. But after communicating & meeting Joyce the nervousness subsided. She sent me updates & pics and it made me very happy to see my boy so happy. I would definitely recommend Joyce without hesitation and will be booking with her again!”
“Courtney and Ryan we're the absolute best care for my dog. I received constant updates and photos of the time Levi spent with them. I know Levi will be thrilled to go back. Thank you so much Courtney and Ryan for looking after my dog like part of your family!”
“Chico stayed with Smita and her husband for two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. When we got him back, it was clear he had been well cared for. He was clean, happy, and had clearly been eating well. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Me and my boyfriend had to go away for the weekend and Liz took care of our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we have ever left her with someone since we got her so we were both nervous. Liz was absolutely amazing she sent us pictures and videos of our kiddo, and oh boy did our little puppy have a blast. Besides sleeping at night I don’t think she stopped playing which is great for her. I’m so glad we found Liz and welcomed our kiddo into a part of her family like one of her own. Thank you so much! She had a blast:)”
“Claudia is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog when I was out of town and she made it a lot easier. I got updates which helped me know Sig was having a good time, was in good hands and I could enjoy my weekend. Claudia will be my go to everytime I need a sitter! 😊”
“We had an excellent experience with Catherine! It was a last minute booking and Catherine was very accommodating. Loki had a great time and Catherine sent lots of updates. We will definitely use Catherine again the future!”
“This was our first time sending Nori for boarding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She stayed with Avijeet for 8 days, and every single day we got updates and photos that made us smile. Nori and Leo became best buddies so quickly, and it was clear she was loved like family. Knowing she was in such a safe, caring, and responsible space gave us complete peace of mind while we travelled. We are so grateful for the care Avijeet and his family gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle and her partner, Joel, were truly wonderful with my senior 16 year old Weimaraner. They jumped in to help with a medical issue and I left my dog with them with confidence. I was worry free. Michelle provides a loving, attentive and interactive experience. My dog was so content and happy. I think he is missing Puppy today! He was so well cared for he would have been happy to stay longer. I will be a repeat customer. I trust Michelle and her family with my “old man” and will trust her with future care. So rare to find this and I am so grateful!”
“Jessie and her partner were fantastic, Izzy had a great time and they sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week long stay. Would definitely recommend and we will be booking with them in the future.”
