“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!”
“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.”
“Buddy was looked after very well. We really enjoyed the pictures that they sent to us.we hope to use them again for future trips,because we know he’ll be well looked after”
“Hayley did a fantastic job with Coco. Hayley responds quickly. She made a lot of pictures so we don't worry about Coco. I saw Coco's pictures lounging on the couch, walking together with Penny. Thank you so much for taking care of Coco. We will do this again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“This was our dog's first experience with a dog sitter and we were ALL nervous! Shelly made us feel very comfortable and took such great care of our pup. We were very grateful to have pictures and updates throughout the evening to reassure us and really appreciated her flexibility, kindness and responsiveness. Thank you very much”
“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”
“Stacee and Trevor were so great to our dog Hutch! They were always sending updates, pictures and asked us about other dogs coming while Hutch was there. They are so nice and we were so happy Hutch was so well cared for while we were away.”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog. I received daily updates, pictures and even a video. I missed my dog while I was away, but knowing Samantha was in good hands with Barbara put my mind at ease!”
“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!”
“Kerri-Lynn was great with our dogs, one of which is 14 years old and deaf and one who is timid and afraid of new places. She kept sending pics of pur dogs throughout the night and it was obvious they had settled in perfectly and comfortably!”
“Jen was amazing with my girl! She loved her just as much, if not more than I could while I was away traveling for work. She sent me updates and photos of Phoebe having the best time with her 2 girls and sweet Homer. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust for the long term, and where Phoebe will get the love and care she deserves, and will look forward to going back when I’m out of town.”
“Svetlana and Artur were amazzzing with our girl Maggie!! She felt right at home and was well cared for. They provided us with lots of photos and communication during our trip which made us feel at ease. She seemed to have the best time and loved spending time with their dog too. We will definitely use Svetlana and Artur in the future and would highly recommend for others!!! Thank you!!”

And will be booking her again!”

“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!!”

“Samantha is amazing. We left our boy with her for about 10 hours while we were out in the city for the day. She sent frequent pictures, videos, and text message updates about how it was going and what he was doing. She’s super friendly, attentive, and has a great fenced in yard for outdoor play as well!

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.

About: Loving care for your beloved pets while you’re away 💚 I treat your pets like family. 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. Pet care is a happy part of my everyday life. I love keeping pets on their usual routines, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfy, and loved while you’re away.

Reliable, attentive care—with lots of love, happy tails, and purrs included. 💕🐾 When pets come to my home, they’re treated like part of the family—just with more fresh air and room to roam. 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). Between outdoor time, walks, naps, cuddles, and sticking to familiar routines, your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. 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!”
“After reading Jessica’s 5 star reviews and having a meet a great I knew right away she was the right fit for my dog and cat. Jessica looked after both my cat and dog back in February following a 7 day vacation.

I still use Jessica now for dog walks and when I’m at work my dog Rosie trusts her and enjoys her walks with her Even on short notice Jessica is able to come by Would recommend Jessica to any family and friends Thankyou”
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.

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.

From big, strong pullers to shy or sensitive pups, I’ve learned how to adapt my approach so every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m experienced with a wide range of sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy building trust with each dog I work with. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or calm, attentive care, I’m committed to providing dependable, thoughtful service and plenty of love along the way. I’m available weekdays and have open availability on weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and can be flexible depending on you and your pet’s needs. I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free. I can also crate your dog if needed. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who can provide great companionship if your dog enjoys being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable.
“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: For the last 10 years, I have taken care of animals of my own as well as neighbour's and friends. Dog walking and sitting feels as if it’s second nature! As I currently work a flexible schedule, there are times during the week and weekend where I am completely free to walk. Having a companion to walk with would make it even better! I have two dogs and a cat that are all well behaved and completely spoiled. We have a fenced in back yard along with a lower unit that is separate from the other dogs if need be.
About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. We have saved 500 dogs off the streets of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left it late 2021 as the stress was too much but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 5 rescue dogs total: 1. Bulldog (named KD) 2. Beagle (Lucy) 3. Collie (Kody) 4. Husky (Pretzel) 5. Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities. Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is usually always home. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as we can do injections, first aid and CPR. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home every evening/night and usually does evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard with patio stones, straw and wood chips to avoid mud! Concrete around the edges to avoid any escaping. Three of our dogs are well socialized and love to play! The other two we keep separate. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie room".

“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!”
“Buddy was looked after very well. We really enjoyed the pictures that they sent to us.we hope to use them again for future trips,because we know he’ll be well looked after”
“Hayley did a fantastic job with Coco. Hayley responds quickly. She made a lot of pictures so we don't worry about Coco. I saw Coco's pictures lounging on the couch, walking together with Penny. Thank you so much for taking care of Coco. We will do this again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was our dog's first experience with a dog sitter and we were ALL nervous! Shelly made us feel very comfortable and took such great care of our pup. We were very grateful to have pictures and updates throughout the evening to reassure us and really appreciated her flexibility, kindness and responsiveness. Thank you very much”
“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”
“Stacee and Trevor were so great to our dog Hutch! They were always sending updates, pictures and asked us about other dogs coming while Hutch was there. They are so nice and we were so happy Hutch was so well cared for while we were away.”
“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!”
“Jen was amazing with my girl! She loved her just as much, if not more than I could while I was away traveling for work. She sent me updates and photos of Phoebe having the best time with her 2 girls and sweet Homer. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust for the long term, and where Phoebe will get the love and care she deserves, and will look forward to going back when I’m out of town.”
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.
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.
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Mark took great care of my Yellow Lab, Sunnny. She celebrated Christmas with Mark and the gang. Mark’s daily updates put my mind at ease. She came home tired and happy. I will absolutely use Mark again in the future.”
“Romana was great with our 2 year old German shepherd. Our dog is very high energy and reactive to other dogs and Romana provided us with the peace of mind that our dog was well taken care of while we were away. She sent lots of updates and was super friendly. Would definitely book again”
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.
