“Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!”
“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“Heather and Matt were absolutely incredible with Charlie during our 10 days away. We had met with another sitter before them and it just didn’t feel right, but from our very first meet and greet with Heather and Matt, we immediately knew they were the perfect fit. We felt confident leaving Charlie in their care. They treated him like part of their family and truly loved him. Their communication was exceptional—we received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. This was especially important to us as Charlie had recently had surgery to remove a lump on his back and still had stitches. They followed all instructions perfectly and were so attentive and caring. Charlie is also very spoiled and loves being cozy with his blankets, and they went above and beyond by setting up his bed near the fireplace to keep him warm! We felt completely at ease the entire time and were so impressed that we’ve already booked another stay. We cannot recommend Heather and Matt highly enough.”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“Thank you Jessica for taking such good care of Monty. We really appreciated all the pictures and keeping us informed on how Monty was doing while we were aware. Much Appreciated! Cathy and Craig.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rebecca provided for Lily. She made sure Lily got plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Rebecca is organized, dependable, and a true dog lover. Lily is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Samantha was great with Molly. I have a happy and tired pup after her stay. Samantha was also really flexible with the pick-up time which was very much appreciated. I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others. Thanks Samantha!”
“Excellent experience, Ashley took very good care of our elderly dog and he had a great time while we were away. We were a bit nervous about leaving him as he is getting older but Ashley made us feel very confident and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again”
“Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a 10. I have experience with small to medium size dogs. I have owned a Chow chow, American Eskimo, Minature Pintsher, a Shihtzu. My Shihtzu passed and I have not been ready to adopt a new dog so I figure why not dog sit to fill my void of doggie cuddles I work from home so I am flexible to be with your dog all day. I can go out for multiple walks a day to keep the dogs happy and not bored I am in a townhouse. I do have stairs but they are fenced off. I am comfortable with senior care and giving medication. I have a shower and a tub for baths after our waterfront walks. I have a balcony perfect for people watching and sunbathing. Clean and smoke free environment.
“Svetlana and Artur were amazing sitters. They treated our Portuguese water dog, Larkin, just like their own. We really appreciated all the photos and videos to keep us updated and assured that Larkin was very happy and comfortable. Larkin can’t wait for her next stay! Thank you!”
“This was the first positive boarding experience our 9yr old golden retriever has ever had (admittedly he usually stays in kennels). Normally, our retriever is stressed and anxious but Maddie clearly has a lot of experience and settled our dog almost immediately. Her home and yard provide the perfect environment whether your dog is active or just prefers to lounge on the couch. Her obedient lab and daschund were great companions. A nearby park and green space/creek provide a convenient off-the-road exercise venue. Maddie walked our dog right at sunrise before it got too hot and gauged his energy level throughout the 3 day stay to ensure he wasn't overworked. She provided frequent updates with photos and clearly he was a very happy dog. Medication was also property administered. I certainly plan to use Maddie's services again and highly recommend her!”
“I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended”
“Jennifer, Homer, and her family were absolutely amazing with Billie Jean! She was well taken care of. So much so, that Billie Jean would like to be adopted by Jennifer 😂”

“First time using the app and service. Stacee and Trevor were awesome. They had such a nice place for our cats - sent lots of pictures and updates. We could tell our animals were loved just like they were at home. Even though one of our cats was a little skittish they made lots of accommodations to make him comfy and happy. They were great and totally had our minds at ease. Would definitely use them again!!”

Throughout the day, Hayley sent updates and photos. Hartwin was so tired from all the playing! I can't wait to book Hartwin with Hayley and Penny again.”

About: Our Story: We have always had rescue cats but became more involved with dogs about 12 years ago when a Cambridge area rescue assisted us with our neighbour's dog in a difficult situation. We began fostering for them but quickly learned that we are more of adoptive dog owners and ended up keeping our third dog. He remained with us until he passed away at age 15. We continue to have cats. We are a household with children, aged 10, and a young adult who respects animals and the space that they may need. House sitting: We are happy to have your dog come to our home provided that they are good with children and cats. There is normally one adult in the home at all times and we can provide the potty breaks that your dog needs. We are also happy to have cats come over and will provide a space for the cat until all of the cats get used to each other. Dog Walks: We will take your dog on a walk to give them exercise and use up some energy! We are happy to accommodate your dog's needs, whether they have anxiety or need to play. If you are not home, we will check their water and provide you with an update on how the walk was. Visits: We will come and check on your dog or cat, ensure that they have food and take them out to use the bathroom or clean the litter. We will spend time with them and give scratches behind the ear. We have one adult working remotely and the other working out of the house. There is normally an adult in the home at all times, except for school drop offs and pick ups. Our yard is fenced and we do not let dogs outside without supervision. Our cats have a separate space either upstairs or downstairs in the basement with a gate to separate the dogs and cats, if required.
“Michelle and family were amazing to our puppy Max ?! It was both of our first times using Rover and we were very happy with the experience. She provided updates throughout the day and pictures which gave us peace of mind. Would gladly recommend her!!”

About: Hi! I’m Seda, and I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up on the streets of Istanbul, I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs, learning to understand their behavior in all kinds of situations. Now, I’m the proud dog parent of Cookie, a sweet (but reactive!) 3 year old pup. So, I totally get what it’s like to manage walks with anxious or reactive dogs. Been there, still doing that! For the past five years, I've been sharing my love and experience with pets by helping fellow pet lovers care for their furry family members. I’m also a volunteer dog walker/handler at a local shelter, where I work with all types of dogs, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’ve fostered, adopted, and helped pets find their forever homes. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little TLC, I’d love to help. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully, my next furry best friend! 🐾🐶🐱 p.s. I deeply cherish animals and embrace nature wholeheartedly. Beyond my love for pets, I actively advocate for LGBTQ rights, reproductive healthcare, women's rights, immigrant communities, and all vulnerable populations. I firmly support fundamental human rights, proudly standing in solidarity with 🇺🇦🇵🇸 I'm delighted to connect and work with like-minded individuals who share these values 😊 My schedule is pretty flexible for drop ins and walking. However I need to know the times for the boarding and the night stays at the client's house at least one week beforehand. I prefer to care for pets in the client's house as I dont want them to get stressed out by staying in an unfamiliar environment. For the past three years, I offer long boarding service to families who travel abroad to care for their house and pets when they are gone.

“Lindsay est fiable et flexible sur les horaires, ce qui dans notre cas a été très appréciable. Elle est très réactive aux messages et nous avons reçu des photos de Neva lors de son court séjour. La maison de Lindsay est agréable et très bien située si vous allez à Niagara Falls. Lindsay est très sympathique, calme et douce et sa famille est aussi très impliquée. Neva a été choyée pendant son séjour. Si nous retournons visiter la région, il est évident que nous réserverons à nouveau sans hésiter chez Lindsay. Merci pour tout Lindsay et ses enfants d'avoir pris soin de notre belle Neva.”

Whether you need a reliable sitter, someone to watch your pets while on vacation or extra love for, I am here to help with compassionate, experienced care.

I live on a quiet country property that offers a calm, cozy, and playful environment where pets can relax, explore, and enjoy a little extra freedom (safely supervised, of course).

My goal is simple: a safe, happy stay with country comfort, plenty of love, and very content tails and paws. 🌾🐕🐾

“This was our first time hiring a dog walker and we had such a great experience! Kimberly-Ann was super reliable, easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our dog Trudy can be pretty anxious with new people, but she was so patient and kind with her. It was nice to see her slowly warm up to her after a couple of walks. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and we’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

About: Being a dog lover my entire life, I have always taken any opportunity to work with dogs. My first job was at Ren’s Pets Depot, where I was able to interact with pets and their owners every day. Over the years, I have raised three guide dogs through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, as well as provided dog sitting for their fosters and career-changed dogs. I also worked at the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA as a canine assessor. In addition, I have volunteered as a photographer for various animal rescue organizations such as Save Our Scruff and Bark at the Moon K9 Rescue. Because of this experience, I have the ability and knowledge to care for a wide range of dogs, from puppies to anxious dogs to rescues. I can provide a calm, structured, and welcoming environment tailored to each pup’s individual needs. Lyndon, my 7-year-old black Lab mix and career-changed guide dog, is easygoing and social. He loves the company of other dogs and will be a steady, friendly companion during their stay. Olly, my 6-month-old dachshund, is a bit more reserved at first but warms up with time. Once comfortable, she enjoys playful moments like chase and fetch! Together, Lyndon and Olly help create a balanced home environment that can suit both confident and more sensitive dogs. You can follow along our daily adventures on Instagram to get a better sense of what life is like in our house! I work most days from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will be able to adjust my work day to best fit your dogs needs and keep them in a routine they are comfortable with. I have two friendly dogs at home who help create a calm, social environment for visiting pets. My black Lab mix, Lyndon, is very easygoing and loves the company of other dogs, making him a steady companion during their stay. I also have Olly my 6-month-old miniature dachshund, who is a bit more reserved at first but settles in with time and enjoys gentle play once she is comfortable. With over 14 years of experience in dog care, including fostering, working with rescues, and assessing dogs professionally, you can feel confident that your pup will be cared for, understood, and loved as if they were my own. I always aim to create a safe, structured, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs.

I am available from Monday-Friday after 11am and anytime over the weekend. I am available during the holiday season. Once I am retired from my 25 yrs of service at my current job my schedule will be more flexible. 🙂 I can prepare meals/medication and care for your dog. Follow your usual routine with them. I have plenty years of experience caring for a pet
About: I'm a stay at home mom with years of pet owner experience. My fur baby had seizures and we cared for him for 10 years until he passed away due to his condition in Nov 2021. Im not ready for a new pet yet myself but have started my services back up as we are missing fur babies in our home! I've owned 4 pups on my own and many while at home with my parents. I have been around dogs my entire life as have my children. We have had Labs, Shepard, Rotties, Doberman pups of all shapes and sizes are welcome! My children are friendly safe and gentle and love animals as much as I do. We enjoy being outdoors and walking. Your pup will have a home away from home while your gone with tons of love, attention and exercise. Stay at home mom... Before our Duke passed he took up a large chunk of my time so pet care was 24/7. Im available for your pet almost all the time. I have a fenced yard and 2 children. We go on regular walks. Hang out and snuggle in front of the television. My yard is fully fenced for them to play in the yard with the kids.
About: Hi everyone. My name is Rachel, I am Beamer - a mini bernedoodle’s mom. He is our only baby in the house. I have always had a dog in the house, my family used to have a retired k-9 German Shepard, and my mom has two toy poodles that I had taken care of for 6 years. My neighbours, family and friends all know that I am a big dog person , also an animal lover. As a world traveller myself, I understand how important it is to find a right person to take care of our fur babies. I have met some amazing dog sitters here, and now I am ready to contribute as your last minute dog walker or day care person. Can’t wait to meet my new furry friends! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I walk my dog at least 4 times a day, plus some play time in the park or our yard. I have a fenced yard and my boy Beamer will keep your baby company. Beamer is super friendly, gentle, he loves to play with some dogs, sometimes he just does his own thing. Your dog is allowed in the house as I will be with the dogs all the time:)

“Vicki has been wonderful! Our little Willow loves their daily walk together. Vicki has been extremely reliable, flexible and a great communicator. Would definitely recommend her services :)”
About: I have had cats and dogs for pets my whole life. Experience giving different kinds of medications. Often dog sat for others. Very reliable and caring. I currently am the head coach for a 13U baseball team out of Welland Ontario. Will work around my baseball schedule to best cater to my clients needs. I live near the beach/water. Great area for walking dogs. Plenty of windows with natural sunlight. Have car and able to travel to clients homes.
About: Family, friends and neighbors have entrusted me with the care of their pets for the past 15 years! I started off my passion of pet care by walking dogs. Over time I progressed onto drop in visits, overnight stays and pet sitting. The duration of my long term stays depended on the client's specific needs but typically anywhere between 2 to 7 days. My prior experience involves small to medium sized dogs, but it doesn't stop there! I have experience caring for cats, birds, reptiles and amphibians, rodents such as rabbits and rats as well as fish. I have always dreamed of a career involving animals. Specifically opening my own nonprofit Rescue-Sanctuary to help domestic and farm animals alike, as well as a doggy daycare to help fund this project. As for now, it is a future goal that I hope to reach some day. In the mean time, I feel incredibly blessed having the opportunity to meet and bond with client's incredible animals; all while gaining incredibly valuable experience. During your pet's time with me, their happiness and well being will be my number one priority. I will ensure that any specific requirements you have will be met with flying colours. If your four legged companion is a senior, has separation or general anxiety, is shy, displays "difficult" behavior, send them my way! I believe that like humans, each animal is extraordinarily different and deserves to be cared for in a way that best suits and benefits them. Thank you so much for your consideration!
About: Hello! I’m a very caring and loving educator with free time on my hands for the summer! I have been walking and sitting pets around my community for as long as I remember!

I hope I can be the right fit for you! I currently have some time off in the summer and am really flexible with my schedule, so I am adaptable to pretty much whatever works for the owners! I am very observant and aware of my surroundings which helps ensure to keep your pet safe! I also know my area pretty well so I know where is safe to walk your pup!

“Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!”
“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rebecca provided for Lily. She made sure Lily got plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Rebecca is organized, dependable, and a true dog lover. Lily is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Samantha was great with Molly. I have a happy and tired pup after her stay. Samantha was also really flexible with the pick-up time which was very much appreciated. I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others. Thanks Samantha!”
“Excellent experience, Ashley took very good care of our elderly dog and he had a great time while we were away. We were a bit nervous about leaving him as he is getting older but Ashley made us feel very confident and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again”
“Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first positive boarding experience our 9yr old golden retriever has ever had (admittedly he usually stays in kennels). Normally, our retriever is stressed and anxious but Maddie clearly has a lot of experience and settled our dog almost immediately. Her home and yard provide the perfect environment whether your dog is active or just prefers to lounge on the couch. Her obedient lab and daschund were great companions. A nearby park and green space/creek provide a convenient off-the-road exercise venue. Maddie walked our dog right at sunrise before it got too hot and gauged his energy level throughout the 3 day stay to ensure he wasn't overworked. She provided frequent updates with photos and clearly he was a very happy dog. Medication was also property administered. I certainly plan to use Maddie's services again and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer, Homer, and her family were absolutely amazing with Billie Jean! She was well taken care of. So much so, that Billie Jean would like to be adopted by Jennifer 😂”
About: Our whole family loves dogs. I have done dog training courses in the past when I got our puppy. They covered walking techniques, confidence, positive reinforcement, obstacle courses, and calm speech. It was so rewarding being able to communicate and recognize dog behavior. Puppies to seniors, all are welcome. Plenty of love and attention! I’m currently doing this full time, so I have plenty of time for your furry family member. My schedule is flexible for the range of services I provide. So, please contact me with any questions . I have a fully fenced yard. Im close to the Bruce trail so nature walks are easy get to. So we’ll be getting a lot of exercise and stimulation.
“Kelley is super friendly and took care of our dog’s needs and went above and beyond. She was quite flexible with the pick up and drop off times alleviating any stress for us. Our dog came home after we picked him up from her and he passed out from all the playing he did! She even showered him and handed us a bag of treats that her dogs have because she felt that our dog liked them and she refused to take money for it! Highly recommend her! We are really pleased with her service.”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs for the past 12 years. I grew up in a household with dogs and cats and a neighborhood full of friendly dogs. My neighbors have relied on me to take great care of their fur babies when they are gone for the weekend or even week vacations. I have great experience with dogs who need special/specific needs and am more than happy to accommodate anything your fur babies need! I would love to keep your pets as happy and healthy as they can be. I truly believe I love every dog as if it were my own! I am currently working a day job at an office and an evening job a few days a week. I have the best availability during the evenings and weekends. I have open availability Friday-Sunday and most evenings through the week. I have a fenced in yard in a lovely, quiet family-friendly neighborhood. I live steps away from a large park and minutes way from lots of trails to explore.
About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.
“Bright was a loving and thoughtful caregiver for Bailey. This is the first time Bailey has stayed over with someone that was not family. At first she was hesitant but she fell in love with Bright during her stay and was so well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Mark was really wonderful. Very thoughtful and kind. It was very obvious right from the start that he cares about the dogs he boards. A true dog lover. He sent me pictures and I felt so comfortable that ollie was being well looked after. Thx Mark. I highly recommend using Marks services.”
