“Our 11 month old whoodle had a blast with Allison and Scott. Ember is a very social pup and it was like staying at camp for her! We were given a tour of their amazing property before our first booking was confirmed. During her stay we received lots of photo and video updates. Ember came home a very tired and happy pup, took 3 days to recover from her “puppy hangover”. Happy to have found our new go-to boarder!”
“Hi Jean. Thank you again for watching our puppy a second time while we are away onna 10 day vacation. We appreciate your puppy guidance while we grow with our new furry family member. We also appreciate all the photos sent while we were away and hope that our next visit he'll be a more mature doggy for you to watch. Thanks again.”
“Where do i start, Catherine saved me when I was in need of a sitter for my luna at the last minute. She took such good care of my baby even when she was dealing with an ear infection . The pictures alone says it all and who knew she would like cats lol. . Catherine was warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end . Luna will be back there soon. My luna was in good hands. Thank you 😊”
“Shelley really took the time to get to know our dog during the meet and greet, which lasted about over 45 minutes. Our dog had never been in another home but our guy felt right at home after 15 minutes. Her home is extremely pet friendly and she has a bid secure fenced yard for play. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog with Shelley. She sent us pictures and updates during his stay and it was evident he enjoyed himself. We’ve already made another booking with Shelley”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”
“My Coco stayed with them for 3 weeks. I already knew how good they are with her because Coco stayed with them for one night prior to our long vacation. Arlene , Kevin and Kendra are true dog lovers. You can see it in all the pictures they sent me. Best part is when we reached our 3rd vacation country, Rover is blocked in Hong Kong and I couldn’t reply to the updates. Arlene figured it out and messaged me through WhatsApp so I can continue to see pictures and updates of my girl. I feel so at ease leaving my girl with them that I am planning to go for more vacation when previously I don’t even go because I worry about my girl. Of course I have to work around their availabilities because Arlene Kevin and Kendra are the only ones I’ll let my Coco stay with! I’d give a million stars if I could. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Warren looked after Booker again while we were away for 3 nights. We know Booker had a FANTASTIC time. Truly not more caring and wonderful people we could have left him with. We are so grateful because we know our baby got fantastic care and attention. Would recommend Warren to anyone looking to leave their pup in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”
“Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.”
“Annette literally welcomed Shadow with open arms from the second they met and it just got better from there! Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”
“John was really flexible with us this weekend and kept him much longer on the last day than we anticipated! He’s great with communicating with us and we really appreciate him!”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“I want to thank Camila and her family for taking a very good care of our dog, Honey. Honey stayed with Camila for more than a week and Camila was sending updates, photos and short videos of her. We were very nervous to use dog boarding services, having updates made the experience easy and very pleasant. We definitely are going to be a returning client. Thanks so much Camila and Family?????”
“Stephanie and Brandon were wonderful with my pup! They provided regular updates about the adventures my dog was having while in their care. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Emma with them again.”
“We left our dog Remi with Isabella and Mark for nine days while we were on vacation out of the country. It was our first time leaving any of our pets with a sitter overnight for any length of time. We thought that we would be worried while we were gone. But Isabella and Mark were nothing short of amazing. They sent photos of our beautiful girl playing ball fetching and going on walks. They made her very comfortable in their own home and she soon became attached to them. I can't say enough for how comfortable they made us feel while we were away and we did not worry about her one bit. I would highly recommend Isabella and Mark to anyone looking for a caring home for their pet for a short or long stay.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, I have experience giving medication and more than enough experience cleaning litter boxes! I’ve worked with animals that are not friendly and I have befriended them. I’m always up for a challenge and I love giving cats the attention they deserve
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.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for what feels like all my life. I’ve always had pets of my own, watched for my families and friends and love to do it! I’m currently working from Monday to Friday 10am-6pm but am free before and after that. i am completely open on weekends to fit your needs!

This includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I keep their space clean and always check in with updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Bridget came to feed our bunny Dennis a handful of times over the long weekend. She did an amazing job, changing his litter and brushing him even though we did not request that. She went over and above and met all of our needs and more. Will definitely have her back.”
“Talia was exceptional—consistently punctual, dependable, and attentive. She took wonderful care of our cat while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Her reliability and trustworthiness truly stood out, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care.”
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. Whether it’s making sure your cat gets their quiet cuddle time, or your dog gets a good walk and plenty of play; I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own!

I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: With a lifetime of animal care experience, I offer exceptional care to your beloved pet, whether it's a dog, cat, or emu. Ok, maybe not an emu, but I do have years of personal experience with a variety of animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses. I grew up volunteering at the humane society, and I have years of experience working in animal rescue and veterinary clinics, in addition to dog walking for clients, where I gained valuable professional experience aiding in the care of all kinds of breeds of dogs with varying temperaments. It was at the rescue I worked at that I rescued my handsome pup Kai -- a semi-feral mixed breed from the woods of Manitoba. For the time being, my services will be limited to drop-in visits (not just for dogs) and dog walking. I'll even walk your cat if that's your thing! I offer individual solo walks or small groups of no more than 3 dogs if your pooch is more of a social butterfly. Either way, I can assure you that your family pet will receive the utmost quality care. I love 'em like they're my own. One thing to note-if you book an hour long walk these will likely be a bit longer than an hour as I will take them for adventure hikes, unless you request otherwise. My schedule is currently pretty flexible and open for the summer. September and onwards is still undetermined but please feel free to message me and inquire. At the moment I do not offer pet care in my home, however I am happy to go to yours up to 3x daily if needed to provide potty breaks or fun walks, as well as any necessary feedings or medications.

I am also available after school and into the evening. I am available most weekends. I have a fenced in yard. I always ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I adapt to your pets needs (shorter/longer walks depending on heat/cold/age/endurance etc.). I love to run and be active and walk around Island Lake.
About: Hi, I'm Chelsey! I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience spanning in-home care, board and train programs, and doggy daycares. I share my own home with three dogs and two cats, so animals aren't just my work, they're my life. I'll be honest, I love animals more than most people, and every decision I make during the day is based on what's best for the pets in my care. I'm experienced with a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, prong collars, and Gentle Leader walks, and I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from sweet, wiggly puppies to dogs who prefer not to be touched. I'm doing this because I genuinely love meeting new furry friends, and my long-term goal is to build my own business in the animal care world. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! This would be my career, I would do this full time. I would make my schedule around the best intrest of my clients with flexible hours I have a large fenced in yard, i have a large park across the street from my house my dogs like to play offlwash on (i would have dogs on long lines if I was to bring them there) my husband is hone full time and we would work as a team to care for the animals the way the need.

“Ashley was amazing with our babies. She found a way to successfully administer their medicine, left the place very clean, played with them every day, and really treated them as I would like them to be taken care of. She's a great communicator and was very accommodating of some of our last minute requests.”
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

“Bentley had another great day today with Scott and Allison. He loves his time there and we love knowing that he is having fun and is being so well cared for. A fantastic place for any dog to visit!”
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.
“This was my first time using a doggy daycare, and I could not be happier. Warren was amazing. Warm, caring, listened to my (rambling) points about her needs. He made me feel heard and that he’d work with Maggie the way that I had discussed. Honestly. I couldn’t say enough good things about the whole experience. I will definitely be using Warren again. Maggie came home happy and worn out. Happy puppy - couldn’t ask for more!”
“Jean was absolutely lovely and incredibly understanding. She clearly knows exactly what she’s doing and was so knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Piper came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved after spending time with Jean and the other pups.”

“Milo had a great time with Adam and Ester and kids. He seemed relaxed and calm when I picked him up and seemed to be having a nice time.

“Excellent communication and flexibility. Jennifer and Jason’s home is a dog paradise. Yvie had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend their daycare service.

One thing to note-if you book an hour long walk these will likely be a bit longer than an hour as I will take them for adventure hikes, unless you request otherwise. My schedule is currently pretty flexible and open for the summer. September and onwards is still undetermined but please feel free to message me and inquire. At the moment I do not offer pet care in my home, however I am happy to go to yours up to 3x daily if needed to provide potty breaks or fun walks, as well as any necessary feedings or medications.
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.
“Jessylin was always on time picking up Caper for her walk, and Caper was always anticipating her arrival. Jessylin truly loves dogs and her care of Caper reflected that. Highly recommend Jessylin and won’t hesitate to book again.”
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: 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. Whether it’s making sure your cat gets their quiet cuddle time, or your dog gets a good walk and plenty of play; I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine! I’m currently on a career break at the moment and am very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I know things like feeding, walks, and play time look for different for each pet. I stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Our 11 month old whoodle had a blast with Allison and Scott. Ember is a very social pup and it was like staying at camp for her! We were given a tour of their amazing property before our first booking was confirmed. During her stay we received lots of photo and video updates. Ember came home a very tired and happy pup, took 3 days to recover from her “puppy hangover”. Happy to have found our new go-to boarder!”
“Hi Jean. Thank you again for watching our puppy a second time while we are away onna 10 day vacation. We appreciate your puppy guidance while we grow with our new furry family member. We also appreciate all the photos sent while we were away and hope that our next visit he'll be a more mature doggy for you to watch. Thanks again.”
“Where do i start, Catherine saved me when I was in need of a sitter for my luna at the last minute. She took such good care of my baby even when she was dealing with an ear infection . The pictures alone says it all and who knew she would like cats lol. . Catherine was warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end . Luna will be back there soon. My luna was in good hands. Thank you 😊”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”
“My Coco stayed with them for 3 weeks. I already knew how good they are with her because Coco stayed with them for one night prior to our long vacation. Arlene , Kevin and Kendra are true dog lovers. You can see it in all the pictures they sent me. Best part is when we reached our 3rd vacation country, Rover is blocked in Hong Kong and I couldn’t reply to the updates. Arlene figured it out and messaged me through WhatsApp so I can continue to see pictures and updates of my girl. I feel so at ease leaving my girl with them that I am planning to go for more vacation when previously I don’t even go because I worry about my girl. Of course I have to work around their availabilities because Arlene Kevin and Kendra are the only ones I’ll let my Coco stay with! I’d give a million stars if I could. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Warren looked after Booker again while we were away for 3 nights. We know Booker had a FANTASTIC time. Truly not more caring and wonderful people we could have left him with. We are so grateful because we know our baby got fantastic care and attention. Would recommend Warren to anyone looking to leave their pup in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”
“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.”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”
“John was really flexible with us this weekend and kept him much longer on the last day than we anticipated! He’s great with communicating with us and we really appreciate him!”
“I want to thank Camila and her family for taking a very good care of our dog, Honey. Honey stayed with Camila for more than a week and Camila was sending updates, photos and short videos of her. We were very nervous to use dog boarding services, having updates made the experience easy and very pleasant. We definitely are going to be a returning client. Thanks so much Camila and Family?????”
“Stephanie and Brandon were wonderful with my pup! They provided regular updates about the adventures my dog was having while in their care. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Emma with them again.”
“We left our dog Remi with Isabella and Mark for nine days while we were on vacation out of the country. It was our first time leaving any of our pets with a sitter overnight for any length of time. We thought that we would be worried while we were gone. But Isabella and Mark were nothing short of amazing. They sent photos of our beautiful girl playing ball fetching and going on walks. They made her very comfortable in their own home and she soon became attached to them. I can't say enough for how comfortable they made us feel while we were away and we did not worry about her one bit. I would highly recommend Isabella and Mark to anyone looking for a caring home for their pet for a short or long stay.”
“We were very fortunate to have Natalie look after our rambunctious 1 yr old Lab Beau for a week while we were on vacation. She was very patient with him as were her dogs Sawyer and Daphne. She kept us updated and assured us he was settling down - eventually ?. He returned home happy and tired - a sign of a great holiday!”
“I had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, Aquene, over the weekend. Aquene had an amazing time playing with her two dogs and going out on trail walks during her stay. She kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing aquene was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Deepti is a wonderful host for Moxie. My pup is always excited to see her and gets lots of love and attention. The communication is always great from beginning to end and Deepti is very flexible.”
