“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Anne was an absolute wonderful host for our Mr. Cooper. It was his very own person Bed & Breakfast while we were away. We received updates of his adventures and all the new friends he met. She was very caring and has a great energy about her that Cooper absolutely loved. I would 10/10 recommend Anne!!!”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
“Kimberly was absolutely fantastic! I knew the moment I arrived that Sulla would be in great hands. It is obvious that Kimberly is a dog sitting/dog care professional. I will 100% be booking her anytime I need to have someone watch Sulla - I know I will have peace of mind, and Sulla will be very well taken care of. I received many update photos, which was greatly appreciated as I am not often apart from my Pup overnight. Sulla was right at home with Kimberly’s family and dog, Harley! If you want your pup to have a vacation just like you, Kimberly is the way to go!”
“Laura was professional, warm and a great communicator. Lots of great photos of our happy pup and even a video. She is a short drive from Toronto and Lupe loved the large comfortable space. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Laura and Family!”
“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
“Chloe was a very happy dog when we picked her up and was talen care of very well. There was lots of communication, pictures and vedios while we were away so we were at ease Chloe was doing well!”
“Shannon was the best! She took time to meet with us ahead of the visit, sent us daily pics & updates on Arlo & was incredibly flexible with pick up & drop off times. We felt so comfortable leaving Arlo with her!”
“Jacqueline, was able to help me on short notice which saved my trip from being cancelled. She did a great job of sending me pics and ensuring me that my dog Ella was taken care of and safe. Highly recommended and I will ask her to watch Ella in the future if and when needed.”
“Marc & Alysia (and family) are fantastic! They treated my pup like their own and he had an amazing day. They managed to tire out my 7 m/o Aussie (which is a challenge) and he returned happy and calm. Highly recommended!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Kat. I’m a Bradford local and a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I grew up with animals and got my first dog at 18, a Yorkshire Terrier who was with me for 13 years. Caring for him through every stage of life, including his senior years, taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important consistency is in a dog’s routine. In 2019, we welcomed Theodore, our Airedale Terrier. Through him, I’ve gained experience handling high-energy breeds, structured walks, and maintaining calm, confident leash control. I offer reliable midday dog walks and drop-in visits between 11am and 3pm, ideal for working families who need a safe and dependable break in their dog’s day. I always provide photo updates and clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away. I treat every dog in my care with the same level of attention and respect that I give my own. 🏠 Now offering boarding in our Bradford home! One guest dog at a time, so your pup gets our full attention instead of getting lost in a pack. I'm home full-time and our fully fenced yard means plenty of safe outdoor time, with potty breaks every few hours. Pups need to be fully house-trained, over a year old, and spayed/neutered. I welcome small and medium pups up to 40 lbs. For daytime rest, whatever works for your dog works for me: if they're happy lounging on the main floor, great; if they do better in their crate, just bring it along and let me know their routine. Full transparency: we have two young kids and our own Airedale Terrier, Theodore, so I only take dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs, and I always do a meet & greet before the first stay so everyone's comfortable. You'll get photo updates throughout the stay, just like my walking clients do. Message me to chat about dates! I’m available for weekday walks and drop-in visits between 11am and 3pm, which is perfect for midday breaks while you’re at work. On weekends, I have more flexibility and am available between 9am and 2pm. I keep my schedule manageable so each dog gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, refreshing water, administering simple medications, or sticking to specific walking routes. During walks, I pay close attention to leash control, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level. I make sure harnesses and collars are properly secured and that doors and gates are locked before leaving. I always provide photo updates and clear communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“Christine was great with my dog! My dog is on a special diet, and Christine was very careful and responsible about following all my instructions. She got along with my dog really well, and I’m so happy I finally found someone I feel comfortable trusting with her. Highly recommend Christine!”
“After only few stays Nobu seems to feel at home with Diane. He loves spending time with her and her family and always has great puppy friends. We never have to worry about him when he is there. Highly recommend!”
“Max has never stayed away - and as a nervous pet owner - I was reassured throughout his stay with updates and pictures! I couldn't have asked for a better experience :)”

I will always attend to their needs, make sure they get all the love, and help them in any way! ❤️ I have also saved a kitten’s life a few years back and that fur baby is doing amazing to this day :)

Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”

About: I love cats and have always enjoyed their wild and wondrous behaviours. I believe that a litter box should remain clean at all times. Cats are very clean beings. I was a crazy cat mum who followed her kitty to the box to clean it right away. They need to be played with often but also have their alone time respected
About: I have experience caring for cats both during my Veterinary Assistant program at Seneca College and through my work as a Pet Care Specialist. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to understand feline behavior and make sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I would love to look after your cat, whether it’s a quick drop-in visit to check on them, feed them, clean litter boxes, and spend some time playing, or a longer visit if they need extra attention and companionship. I understand that every cat has a different personality some love lots of interaction while others prefer quiet company and I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them most comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for a few years. I recently cat sat for about 3 months! Say hello to Pudding and Pancake who are in my profile picture!! I’ve taken them to vet appointments and cared for them post vaccines and during during heat ! Making sure to clean up their litterbox frequently, provided them with many treats and cat television when we weren’t playing with lasers and toy mice and support them during their stay.
“Mary was excellent as always. She watched our cat and house while we were away in Alaska for 10 days. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She follows his routine to a tee. He was very relaxed when we got home. She left the house exactly as it was when we left. Thanks again Mary!”

“Laura and her wonderful family are truly one of a kind! From the moment Cooper stayed with them, I knew he was in the best hands. Laura, her husband, and their two sweet toddlers welcomed him like part of the family and treated him with so much love and care. Cooper came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. It’s obvious how much attention and affection they give, and it meant the world to know he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Laura highly enough; she and her family are the absolute sweetest, and we feel so lucky to have found them! 🐾💛”
“Hanna took very good care of my puppy! She followed instructions carefully, sent me photographs of my puppy during the day, as well as communicated frequently with updates of how my puppy was doing. I’m definitely going to book with her again!”

About: I am a caring and responsible pet lover with many years of hands-on experience. For about five years, I cared for around ten cats, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and healthy. I also have four years of experience raising and caring for two toy poodles at home. I take them on regular walks, keep them clean and well groomed, and make sure they stay active, stimulated, and happy. I truly love both dogs and cats and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I pay close attention to their behavior and daily routines so I can quickly notice if something is unusual or if they need extra care. I make sure pets have a calm, safe, and clean environment, with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I am careful about what pets eat and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding diet, feeding schedules, and treats. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I try to maintain their normal routine as much as possible. If a pet becomes sick or needs special care, I am very attentive and can carefully administer medications when required. I also monitor their health, hygiene, and comfort closely. Most importantly, I build a warm and trusting connection with animals so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved when they are with me. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel at home, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. As a homemaker, I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I am available to monitor them, spend time with them, and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I organize my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, while also making sure pets have a calm and clean environment. Since I am usually at home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can quickly respond to their needs if anything changes. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is a pleasant and meaningful part of my daily life. I make sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and proper care so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. The safety and comfort of pets in my care are very important to me. My home provides a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel relaxed and secure. We also have a fenced yard, which allows dogs to spend time outside safely for fresh air and supervised play. I currently have a friendly 4-year-old female toy poodle at home who is well behaved, playful, and used to being around people and other animals. She is gentle and can be a good companion for visiting pets. Because I spend most of my time at home, I am able to closely supervise pets throughout the day. I make sure they follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, rest, and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can quickly notice if they need anything. I keep the home environment clean and organized and make sure pets only have access to safe spaces and appropriate food. If a pet has special instructions from the owner—such as diet, medication, or routines—I follow them carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy while staying in my home.

I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and can pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. My schedule is currently very open, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pet prefers relaxing at home, playing in a safe environment, or going out for walks, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe, enclosed space for supervised outdoor time, and I’m always happy to take dogs on walks as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on.

“Sara was amazing. My dogs loved her so much that they would go to the door 10 minutes before her arrival and be waiting for her. She was prompt and provided updates of their walks daily. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”

During the past two days of walks, Xiaolao clearly enjoyed spending time with her and looked very happy and comfortable. If I ever need help again, I will definitely reach out to Amy without hesitation. Highly recommended!”
About: My name is Shanice and I’ve cared for dogs since I was 3 years old. We’ve always had them around as I grew up into the complete animal lover I am today. You need not worry about your pet when you are away as he or she will be completely spoiled (with your permission of course). I have a dog of my own and she is very well socialized with cats and all other dogs. We’re looking to make some friends to run around, eat treats with, play fetch with, and lounge around watching “This is Us” when we’re all tuckered out! I really looking forward to meeting your pup and will respect any and all guidelines given by you the owner! Can’t wait to meet you both! I am a part time student and am completing school online so I am always around to watch your fur friend whenever you need. I do have one vacation booked in February right now however for a week. I am very loving and protective of my pets. I have a dog right now and take great caution with how I care for her. I do not feed her human food, keep things out of reach and anything she could possibly get into is always kept stowed away (cleaning supplies, ect). I have had dogs for many years, and my particular dog has a lot of energy so I know she can quickly be getting into something around the house, so I always have my eyes on her, ensuring she is content and behaving.
About: I have had my pet bird for 11 years, graduated the vet assistant program in August 2023, and have been volunteering at a cat shelter for almost 2 years now but other than the shelter experience, and around four months worth of experience from school working with different kinds of animals, bunnies, rats, mice, farm animals, etc!! I have a pretty open schedule. But as for how does PetCare fit into my daily routine, Since I have a bird, it’s something I do daily, multiple times a day, and have been doing every day for the past 13 years , it’s all about patience and continuously bettering the care I can give. Safety is definitely the biggest priority, in both parties. Since I don’t offer at home services only at clients home, and dog walking. Being able to ask questions and finding out the pet’s personality I think would be be the best way to be safe and create a healthy environment
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

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.

“Aditya and Ipshita were everything we could ask for and then some. They cared for our dog like a beloved family member and kept us posted throughout his stay. This is the first time we've truly felt comfortable with the care of our dog and I will use them again without hesitation. Thanks Aditya and Ipshita.”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
“Kimberly was absolutely fantastic! I knew the moment I arrived that Sulla would be in great hands. It is obvious that Kimberly is a dog sitting/dog care professional. I will 100% be booking her anytime I need to have someone watch Sulla - I know I will have peace of mind, and Sulla will be very well taken care of. I received many update photos, which was greatly appreciated as I am not often apart from my Pup overnight. Sulla was right at home with Kimberly’s family and dog, Harley! If you want your pup to have a vacation just like you, Kimberly is the way to go!”
“Sheila is awesome and very responsive. She was great with my Golden Retriever, Mabel. She sent regular updates and photos. Mabel got personalized attention and slept on the bed at night. Sheila also took some fabulous photos of Mabel that are of photography studio quality.”
“Morgan provided a nice clean space and wonderful company for my dog with her dog Axel. She went out for plenty of walks and was great about sending pictures of my dog and what he was doing. Morgan was also very communitive with me and responsive when I had a question. I will definitely rebook with Morgan and would highly recommend anyone else to use her as well”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
“Jacqueline, was able to help me on short notice which saved my trip from being cancelled. She did a great job of sending me pics and ensuring me that my dog Ella was taken care of and safe. Highly recommended and I will ask her to watch Ella in the future if and when needed.”
“Oakley enjoyed his stay with Dominika. He was well taken care of & we received daily updates with pictures! It was nice to ensure our fluffy friend was in such good hands while we were away! Will definitely use again!”
“Christine was great with my dog! My dog is on a special diet, and Christine was very careful and responsible about following all my instructions. She got along with my dog really well, and I’m so happy I finally found someone I feel comfortable trusting with her. Highly recommend Christine!”
“I highly recommend Hanna. She took such good care of my dogs. Both my dogs have separation anxiety but she made them both very comfortable. I could tell they were both extremely happy. She sent us pics everyday. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would certainly be going back to her in the future as well.”
“Ryan and Ashley are amazing! They went above and beyond, caring for our dog Bear with such compassion and expertise—even when she fell ill. Truly the best sitters we could ask for!”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Lovely people. My puppy was well taken care of. Always gave me updates on how he was doing. You can see the love that they have for any animals. They really made him feel like home. Will book again!!!”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Cory and Darryl took wonderful care of my babies! I loved the frequent photos and updates, it gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell from the moment I met them that these are two people who genuinely and deeply care for animals. I'd happily book with them again!”
“We left our dog with Monique for the weekend after our original dog sitter fell through, and it was truly the best decision. Our dog, Osito had the best time and was torn between us and Monique when it came to pick up time. Monique answered our check in and she is also a delight to converse with. Many recommendations!!”
