“Our family was scheduled for an overnight at Western when we reached out to Sayali and from the very start she was very professional. Reaching her house, her husband guided Lola to the backyard where they had other lovely dogs . Lola got introduced to the dogs and was excited… I felt She will have a great time with her new friends . Sayali shared Lola’s videos … and took good care of her . I recommend Sayali for all your doggy day care and boarding needs 🐾🐾🐶”
“Luna was well taken care of during her stay with Hilary. Appreciate how flexible Hilary was and she her communication was great even sending us updates and photos. Thank you Hilary!”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Alfred had a great time at Bradley’s!! He is a lovely safe spot for my son! Alfred is reactive and a lot for some to deal with but Bradley does a great job dealing with Alfred’s energy and needs while communicating with us the whole time! Due to Alfred’s large size (140lbs) and the fact that he’s not neutered it can be challenging to find someone that can handle him and Bradley does an excellent job! Thank you so much for watching our baby!!”
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Carol and family are! This was our dogs second visit with Carol and a much longer stay this time around and I’m more than positive he would stay forever if he could :) Such a wonderful, loving and caring family who give everything to make sure Lenny is comfortable and happy! Daily updates that I absolutely loved. Lenny cannot wait for his next visit to Carols a when I mention her name his head pops right up! Thankyou again so much for a great week!”
“My dogs stayed the weekend with William and his daughter. They had a great time and came home tired after playing with their dog Bella. I was sent photos of the dogs having fun and I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend them and will book my dogs to stay with them in the future!”
“Oh what can I say. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Morgan! She is sweet, kind with a big heart and loved my shepherd like she was her own. She has a beautiful home with a big fluffy bed , ready for your pup to curl up in. My pup had to take some medicine and she was happy to help. I received lots of pictures and txts and it was such a relief to know that she was being taken care of so well. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my girl was being loved. Morgan is Heidi's new BFF. I never go anywhere without my dog but now I feel like I can go away without having to feel guilty. Heidi will be having a great time with Morgan while im away. That's a great feeling. Highly recomend Morgan!”

“This was Ace’s third time spending time with Angela and her family! You can tell them really love Ace like their own! It’s so comforting knowing he’s being left in good hands! I will continue using Angela as long as she is available. They truly are such a blessing! Thank you Angela and Family💗”
“I cannot recommend Janet enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our Honey. She was excellent at sending photos and videos and updates. Honey was with Janet for 3 weeks and we knew without a doubt that she was being loved and cared for beautifully. Thank you so much Janet!!”
“Emily did an amazing job looking after Harley. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel that our girl was being very well looked after. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking such wonderful care of Harley. We truly appreciate it and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 🐾”
“I boarded my golden retriever and cocker spaniel with Claudia and her family for 11 nights while on vacation. While I have had positive experiences boarding them in a kennel in the past, they are relatively low-energy dogs and I really wanted them to be in a family setting for this longer vacation. And this is exactly what I found with Claudia and her husband and son. Not only do they have a lovely quiet family home (with a fenced-in backyard) in a lovely quiet neighborhood, but Claudia and her family clearly love dogs and I could see they took care of them as if they were their own, including walks and play times. And while my girls were very excited to see me when I picked them up, I could also see how very comfortable they were with Claudia and her family, and how obviously fond they were of each other. I would definitely come back to Claudia in future - recommended 100%!”
“Bernadett made Finnegan feel right at home and took such good care of him. She sent updates that made us feel comfortable knowing he was in a wonderful home while we were away. Don’t think we could have had anyone better watch him while we were away”
“Trudie was great with Penelope and kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how things were going while I was away. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Trudie again!”

“Erin took wonderful care of our six cats while we were away on a short trip. Their feeding routine is a bit complicated, but she followed all of our instructions perfectly and made sure everyone was cared for. We were so happy to hear that even our shy kitties came out for their wet food! We appreciated the many photos as well. Would definitely book again!”
“Took great care of my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. Sent pictures, videos, and asked questions about his behaviour just to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend!”
“Emily provided wonderful pet sitting services during my weekend vacation out of town. Received many updates on how my cats were doing, as well as pictures from throughout her visits. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since I got one when I was 10. I love how cats tend to have such distinct and strong personalities. I take care of my current cat Howard who is a mean cat and I love him for it. I’m happy to try to become friends with cats who are a little standoffish because when they finally trust you it is special. Because of Howard I am used to unique feeding schedules and am in the habit of sitting nearby while they eat just in case. I’m happy to clean litter boxes or even just come by to study so your cat has someone to curl up with. I also am a dog trainer but if you have a cat that likes to go on walks we can make that happen to!
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful kittens to senior cats needing extra attention, I provide gentle, attentive care tailored to each cat's personality. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and creating a calm, stress-free environment while their owners are away.

“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a few years now, having 1 cat in my house and 3 total in my family! I also have lived with 2 different cats in university and cat sat regularly for others. Have experience with cats with PICA and anxiety. I work from Monday to Friday in Toronto (4 days are in person and depend on the week)! Pet care would fit into my routine in the mornings and at night (in the day if needed I can work from home). Because I have cats at my home I am able to care for your pets in your home! This gives them comfort in their own space.
About: I grew up with many cats and dogs. Growing up they all had different personalities and boundaries. I will make sure your fur baby is comfy and happy in their own space while you are away. I will take care of your fur baby like my own.
About: With hands-on experience as a veterinary tech assistant and animal caretaker, I've spent years tending to cats with care, patience, and a deep understanding of their unique personalities. These days, I share my home with two beloved cats and a hilariously mischievous dog who insists she's a part of the feline crew (especially when she's stealing their toys!). Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playful stimulation, or just someone who truly "gets" them, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I treat every animal like family--because that's exactly what they are.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for cats, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where every cat is treated like family. I understand that each cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and follow their routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your cat feels happy, secure, and well cared for until you return. 🐱💕
“Aleksandra recently took care of our three cats at her place during the day, and we had an amazing experience. Her home is cat-friendly, and her genuine love for animals is evident. Aleksandra provided excellent care, attending to each cat's individual needs and maintaining their routines perfectly. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which was very reassuring. Our cats returned home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for, clearly enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Aleksandra to anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving cat sitter. Thank you, Aleksandra, for your exceptional care!”

“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.”
“Kollin was amazing with our Rosie. He sent us so many pictures and videos of Rosie playing with all the pups. He was not phased when I handed him her ear infection meds. It was amazing. What really made us realize this was going to be our Rosie haven going forward was when we got stuck out of town because if horrible wheather and were stressing out about having to rush home to pick up Rosie. I messaged Kollin and he was so chil and did not mind our changing plans half way through the reservations. It was extremely kind and we'll never forget it. When we picked up Rosie she was in good spirits and we can tell how attached she got to Kollin and his wife. It melted my heart to see. Thank you both so much for everything!”

“Brittany was great! Very much appreciated the cute pictures of our dog enjoying the stay and when my dog was excited to see her on her next stay I was sure Mikka enjoyed her time too. My dog is slow to adjust to new people so it was great that Brittany was patient through it used to this behavior.”

About: Having fostered and rescued stubborn Rottweilers, I know that helping animals is something I truly feel connected with. From gently coaxing porcupine quills from a scared dog's snout to mastering the art of skunk deodorizing, my experience is diverse. I'm committed to providing exceptional care for your furry companions." I work from home Monday to Friday and have transportation readily available. 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: I offer safe, loving in-home boarding in a calm environment with a secure backyard for supervised play. I have two friendly dogs, a mini poodle and a bichon, who are well socialized and gentle with other dogs. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. My home is clean, structured, and designed to be a relaxed home away from home. If you’d like it a little more playful or a little more premium, I can adjust the tone for you 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules. I work in a structured way, so I can easily incorporate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care while ensuring each dog receives focused attention and companionship. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets are supervised and never left in unsafe situations. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain clear communication, and provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

“Bernadett has been a GREAT care for the last month with my mini poodle. She’s very caring and sweet person. I am having a peace of mind when I know chi chi is spending his time with her and Cooper. She constantly updates with pictures and messages. Also, she doesn’t mind sharing her delicious and healthy homemade treats/food with my dog. Chi chi looks forward her days with her and comes back as a happy tired dog :) I couldn’t ask for a better care. She is the best!!”

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.

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 over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. During this time, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs, including walks, playtime, and companionship. I have two dogs of my own who are friendly and enjoy having company. They provide great opportunities for safe play and socialization, while I ensure your dog still receives individualized attention, supervision, and care.
“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!”
“Jayden went above and beyond with our pup. She was reliable, consistent, and spent time working with him on his leash skills. Whenever any issues came up while we were away, she handled them thoughtfully and found effective solutions. It was a huge bonus that she has experience with dog training and was knowledgeable about my dog’s breed. I felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care, and I will absolutely be hiring Jayden again. Highly recommend!”
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 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 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 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!
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: 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!
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 several years of experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—everything from playful kittens to older, more reserved senior cats. I understand that every cat has their own unique routine and preferences, and I always take the time to get to know what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or just offering quiet companionship and gentle affection, I make sure every cat I care for gets the love and attention they deserve. I'm also familiar with shy or anxious cats and have a calm, patient approach that helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. Pet care is a BIG part of my routine and forever has been. I am currently working in hospitality and at a reptile zoo. No matter my schedule, I will always prioritize time for making sure each animal feels safe, cared for, and loved. whether its popping by for a walk, quality playtime, snuggles or routine tank cleaning, I will be there. When their feeding times are, exercise scedule anything they are scared of or sensitive to, how often they like to be walked, any special considerations and any medications they need.
“We’re so lucky to have found Gabrielle! She’s professional, trustworthy, and has such a genuine love for animals. Our dogs adore her, and we can tell she always makes sure their safe, happy, and well-exercised. Gabi is reliable and always communicates with us, sending updates and pictures. It really gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such caring hands!”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, with a special focus on dogs and cats. At home, I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Beans and Chester, and our family dog, Hunter. My love for animals started early — growing up in the Philippines, my family cared for 20 dogs and 2 cats at once. That experience gave me the skills, patience, and dedication to handle pets with different personalities and needs, while always making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, affection, and a watchful eye to ensure their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’m committed to keeping your fur babies happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced pet sitter, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. With me, you can rest assured they’ll be in good hands — safe, loved, and treated like family. 🐶🐱💖 I currently work and am only in the office twice a week, which means my schedule is flexible. I live downtown London, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within the city to care for your pets. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a secure, loving environment where they can feel at ease, knowing they are protected and cared for at all times. I am attentive to their routines, needs, and personalities, ensuring they receive the right balance of play, rest, and affection. You can trust that I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, responsibility, and genuine love. My goal is to give you peace of mind while creating a safe, happy space where your fur babies can thrive.

Reaching her house, her husband guided Lola to the backyard where they had other lovely dogs . Lola got introduced to the dogs and was excited… I felt She will have a great time with her new friends . Sayali shared Lola’s videos … and took good care of her . I recommend Sayali for all your doggy day care and boarding needs 🐾🐾🐶”
“Luna was well taken care of during her stay with Hilary. Appreciate how flexible Hilary was and she her communication was great even sending us updates and photos. Thank you Hilary!”
“Alfred had a great time at Bradley’s!! He is a lovely safe spot for my son! Alfred is reactive and a lot for some to deal with but Bradley does a great job dealing with Alfred’s energy and needs while communicating with us the whole time! Due to Alfred’s large size (140lbs) and the fact that he’s not neutered it can be challenging to find someone that can handle him and Bradley does an excellent job! Thank you so much for watching our baby!!”
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“My dogs stayed the weekend with William and his daughter. They had a great time and came home tired after playing with their dog Bella. I was sent photos of the dogs having fun and I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend them and will book my dogs to stay with them in the future!”
“Oh what can I say. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Morgan! She is sweet, kind with a big heart and loved my shepherd like she was her own. She has a beautiful home with a big fluffy bed , ready for your pup to curl up in. My pup had to take some medicine and she was happy to help. I received lots of pictures and txts and it was such a relief to know that she was being taken care of so well. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my girl was being loved. Morgan is Heidi's new BFF. I never go anywhere without my dog but now I feel like I can go away without having to feel guilty. Heidi will be having a great time with Morgan while im away. That's a great feeling. Highly recomend Morgan!”
“Yoda was incredible. We have an anxious dog and this was the guest to never left her with someone we didn’t know. She did great and we felt very comfortable leaving her with Yoda.”
“This was Ace’s third time spending time with Angela and her family! You can tell them really love Ace like their own! It’s so comforting knowing he’s being left in good hands! I will continue using Angela as long as she is available. They truly are such a blessing! Thank you Angela and Family💗”
“Emily did an amazing job looking after Harley. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel that our girl was being very well looked after. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking such wonderful care of Harley. We truly appreciate it and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 🐾”
“I boarded my golden retriever and cocker spaniel with Claudia and her family for 11 nights while on vacation. While I have had positive experiences boarding them in a kennel in the past, they are relatively low-energy dogs and I really wanted them to be in a family setting for this longer vacation. And this is exactly what I found with Claudia and her husband and son. Not only do they have a lovely quiet family home (with a fenced-in backyard) in a lovely quiet neighborhood, but Claudia and her family clearly love dogs and I could see they took care of them as if they were their own, including walks and play times. And while my girls were very excited to see me when I picked them up, I could also see how very comfortable they were with Claudia and her family, and how obviously fond they were of each other. I would definitely come back to Claudia in future - recommended 100%!”
“Wonderful people with excellent communication and we were extremely happy at how well our two little ladies were taken care of while we were away for 12 days!”
“We don’t leave our dog too often so I always feel a bit nervous about it but we had an amazing experience with Catherine. She sent pictures and videos and I could tell Pillow felt comfortable and right at home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!”
“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!”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! Mocha had such a wonderful stay with her and came home happy and relaxed. Brittany sent us photos of Mocha every day and took him on a walk daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such great care of him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mocha would absolutely love to stay with her again!”
