Ernesto took to them right away, and I instantly felt comfortable. During his stay, everything went perfectly. I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really reassured me and showed how much fun he was having. You can truly see their love for animals in how they cared for him. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

“Allison and Scott day care service is amazing. Each day my beagle came home happy and ready for bed. Many pictures and insight of boycee’s day also made my day. 10/10 best resort especially for hounds”
About: I retired in 2020 and returned to college to receive my Registered Veterinary Technician diploma in 2023. I have been a foster parent to hundreds of animals over my lifetime, specializing in animals who require medication and specialized medical care. I am retired and available to watch your pet at any time. Last minute and longer term care remains an option. I do travel on occasion but this would be communicated with plenty of notice. I have just moved to the Fergus area and reside in a park-setting which has a fenced leash free area on site. There is a lake should your pup like the water! I can accommodate crate trained animals however my general thinking is that your pet would be like my own were, snuggling on the bed or couch. I realize how important consistency and routine is to your pets wellbeing and would ensure that your routines are followed should I be staying at your home.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jean. She treats our pup, Jolene, like part of her own family and consistently goes above and beyond for us. Jean is incredibly flexible with scheduling and always puts the safety and well-being of the dogs first. Jolene comes home from her time with Jean happy, fulfilled, and clearly well cared for. Jean does an amazing job balancing all of Jolene’s needs while making sure she feels loved and comfortable during both daycare and overnight stays. She truly is the best pet sitter anyone could ask for!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve raised puppies and, most recently, provided dedicated senior care for my beloved dog until she passed away in May. My home has very few stairs, a beautiful fenced in yard, and everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay. Whether your dog is energetic or enjoys a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send you photos and do FaceTime calls if that’s something you would like :) I’m currently a graduate student who is not working so I have a lot of availability and flexibility. I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I treated mine with. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely run and play. There are only a few steps to enter the house, and if your dog has mobility challenges, I’m happy to carry them if needed. Your dog will be treated like family and will enjoy the same love and freedom my own dog did, whether that’s curling up on the couch, relaxing in a cozy spot, or simply being wherever they’re happiest. I also have an 9 year old daughter who absolutely adores dogs and loves spending time with them. We would be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our home, where they’ll enjoy their own vacation while you’re enjoying yours! 🐾❤️
“They were absolutely fantastic. Very understanding to my schedule changes, and didn't seem phased by Henry's hound noises! (Which are loud and weird, I promise haha) They even made sure he had his medication when my instructions weren't complete. Henry left happy and now he's zonked on the couch. Their big backyard was great for a sniffer like him, and he loves a good couch cuddle. Will definitely be back!”
About: Growing up, I started my own dog-walking business in my neighborhood, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger and evolved into extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a proud owner of Bengal cats, I understand the unique needs, energy levels, intelligence, and personalities that different pets require. I am comfortable providing enrichment, play, exercise, feeding, medication administration, and attentive daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I also have experience training and caring for a high-drive Doberman Pinscher, which has given me valuable knowledge in obedience training, structure, exercise requirements, and managing intelligent, energetic breeds. Working closely with a breed that thrives on consistency and engagement has strengthened my skills in reading canine behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. I naturally connect with pets, understand their body language, and recognize when they need comfort, play, space, or reassurance. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a reliable caregiver, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while you're away, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.
About: I love animals and will make sure your dog will be loved more than anything else. Being a pet owner myself I understand the worries of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I would like to put your mind at ease and give your pet the best experience possible. I work from home and have a small multipoo that will be a wonderful host to your pet. I have time for frequent potty breaks and 2 long walks per day, can do more if required. Pets are allowed to sleep on the furniture and on the bed if that is what they are used to. I have two older children and a husband that loves animals too! This will be your pets favorite vacation home. I only take one dog at a time and you will get plenty of pictures and videos during their stay. I foster rescue dogs regularly and a volunteer at a animal shelter, comfortable in administering medicine, I have experienced in talking care of puppies as well as senior dogs.
About: I grew up with two family dogs, a dachshund and a german shepherd and wanted dogs in my life ever since I moved out from home. I waited patiently for 7 years until I could buy a house with a backyard to get my fur baby. Nala, our bernese mountain dog is the first child in mine and my wife's life. We both work from home and can give the care and special attention that your pupper deserves. We live close to great leash-free dog parks and trails, so your pup is guaranteed to have a lot of play and fun. We also do realize that each dog is an individual and special care instructions will be duly followed. I and my partner are fully vaccinated. We are both professionals working from home, so we have plenty of time during the day to tend to your dog's needs. During the day, we will make sure your dog is taken out as per your instructions. In the evening, we take our dog for long walks and would be happy to take your dog along. Your pet will get a lot of attention, cuddles, love and care. We are also flexible to your needs. We have a fully fenced yard where your pet can play with our 1.5 years old friendly dog. Your dog can run around in the backyard with their favourite toy. We would certainly be keeping an eye out from our garden gazebo and make sure that your dog is never unattended.
“Shelley was great and very detailed with follow up information as well as upon pick up. She treated my “baby” as one of her own. She was positive and helpful and my dog had a happy & positive experience for his first visit with other cuties there. I look forward, when needed, to take my dog 🐶 there again. Thanks Shelley!!”

About: I have had a lifelong experience with many animals. Having owned my own pup since she was a baby, I understand the unique challenges and joys of raising a dog.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, following their feeding and exercise schedules. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and daily walks. I also keep the home clean and secure, monitoring for any safety hazards.

Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.

About: I've grown up around pets and have always been the person family and friends could count on to help care for them. We previously had a Doberman named Onyx, and although we no longer have him, I still miss him dearly. Raising and caring for a large working breed gave me a lot of experience and helped build a strong connection with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Near my home there's a large park that I used to take Onyx to regularly, and it's a great place for walks and exercise. If owners are comfortable with it and it's appropriate for their dog, I'm happy to incorporate park visits into their routine and even some fun training! I handle all the day-to-day essentials including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs so they receive the care that's best for them. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while their owners are away.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I grew up in a home with a total of 7 cats (yes, seven!), and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. On top of that, I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family. I know how important it is to find someone who truly cares for your pets the way you do.

I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Hi, I'm Vanessa and I am an animal lover, activist and travel obsessed. As a little girl, I always said I wanted to be a Veterinarian, as the years went on I found myself in school for advertising and architecture, two diploma's later and I still wasn't content. Grooming fell into my life through my Dad, he knew I always go back to talking about a career with animals and that I've always had a creative/artistic interest and eventually encouraged me to try it. Fast forward to the present and I'm loving this career, it's definitely not an easy job working with animals but cuddling puppies makes up for it! I am also a dog owner to a beautiful 14 year old male Golden Retriever named Dash; his name still matches his personality to this day. He is a very rambunctious and adventurous dog who never gives up on our long hikes. I plan on giving your pets as much love and affection as possible - I completely understand being busy and not always having time to give proper attention to your pet. I will fill that void and make sure they are happy for when you return. My goal is to keep the animals and myself safe and make everyone happy. Please feel free to contact me through email with any questions!

Ernesto took to them right away, and I instantly felt comfortable. During his stay, everything went perfectly. I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really reassured me and showed how much fun he was having. You can truly see their love for animals in how they cared for him. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Lori and her family hosted my girl for 10 days while I was away on vacation. I could not have asked for a better host!!! After our initial meet and greet I knew my pooch would be in great hands. We were given many updates during our time away and there was never a moment where i worried about her well being. It’s obvious that Lori has a great love for animals and will treat them as part of her family during their stay. I feel so fortunate I was able to connect with Lori because if you’re like me you’ll likely be nervous about who you leave your pet with. As long as Lori is hosting I will never look for anyone else to care for my girl when I have to be away from home. Thanks Lori, you’re awesome at what you do!!”
“Our dog Mabel had her second stay with Deepti & Sachin and it went great, as expected. Knowing that she was in a safe place with people who care for her like their own brought great peace of mind.

This was Prince's best experience being away from home to the point that we think he's missing them 😊 Thanks to Tiffany and her family for all the efforts!!!”
“Pei was excellent with Maggie Mae! She asked a lot of questions about her commands and habits, reinforced her training, introduced her to some new things (roosters!), and ensured that she got both lots of exercise and lots of snuggles. Maggie Mae loved playing with her Burmese Mountain Dog Oscar. Pei provided regular detailed updates and was fast on communication. Pei's house is definitely one of Maggie Mae's new favourite places and we will certainly rebook with Pei.”
