“Hayley was amazing! we could tell coco had a great time during her stay since she came home tired. She was very responsive and took care of all coco's needs. Definitely recommend her”
“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.”
“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”
“Our dog Darcy continues to receive excellent care and attention while boarding with Maddie, her dogs and her incredibly helpful husband, Steve. Darcy is always eager to run up to the house when I'm dropping him off so he obviously enjoys his stays. It almost makes me wonder if he wants to move in!”
“Rebecca was such a kind and caring dog sitter. She treated Lily like a member of her own family. Rebecca communicated quickly and I felt like Lily was well taken care of the whole visit. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I cannot recommend Barbara enough! Our dog is always very comfortable in her home. Barbara keeps us updated and takes wonderful care of Boudicca. Thank you Barbara!”
“Teena & Wayne took amazing care of our cat and dog while we were away for 9 days. They have never been taken care of by anyone other than family in the past. My boys seemed quite comfortable and happy while they stayed with them. We will definitely use them again ❤️”
“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!”
“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!”
“One word: awesome! Stacee came to rescue when a Rover sitter cancelled my book last minute. Thanks to Stacee, we didn't have to cancel our trip. Stacee took care of Momo like her own. Long walks, backyard play, games in the house, sofa cuddle, you name it! I received regular communication and even videos from Stacee. When Momo got home, he's so tired he just wanted to sleep, lol. Tired dog = happy dog! Way to go Stacee and thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Honestly we are running out of compliments for Samantha. She has been sending updates and photos of our boy everyday— Beamer has been in great hands with love and care. She is an amazing dog sitter that exceeds our expectations by all means. We would definitely recommend her to our dog owner friends. Samantha, thank you again for taking care of Beamer so well. We appreciated all your time and effort.”
“It was our first time booking with Jessica, and we’re so glad we did! She was quick to respond to our messages, and setting up a meet-and-greet was simple and stress-free. Jessica and her partner were wonderful with Jane, keeping us updated with messages and photos of her adventures during both days of her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing Jane was in such good hands and would absolutely book with Jessica again!”
“It was Pepper's first Rover boarding and I left her with Samantha for almost a week... i was very happy because I get text and she sends ne pictures of Pepper and what her day was like. Pepper liked Samantha as well because she got lots of cuddles from her. Now I will not worry about going on short trips (if I can not take Pepper) because I know that I can count on a good sitter for Pepper. Pepper enjoyed her time with her and Samantha has a beautiful and cozy home. Thank you thank you thank you for lloking after my girl.??♥️ - Julie D.”
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’ve always been a huge animal lover, and dogs have always been part of our family. We have dogs of our own, so I know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else and how reassuring it is to know they’re somewhere they’ll be genuinely loved and cared for. I’m home a lot, so your dog won’t be spending their day alone. I love having dogs around me, whether that means going for walks, playing outside, having a little shadow follow me around the house, or cuddling up on the couch. I’m also a mom of three, so our home is definitely a real, busy, loving family home! My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re simply joining our family while you’re away — with lots of attention, play, cuddles and belly rubs along the way. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home a lot and already have dogs of my own. I’m able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, outdoor time and lots of cuddles. As a mom of three, our home is busy but loving, and I’m used to keeping a consistent routine. Your dog would be included in our day-to-day life and would have company rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for and part of the family while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ When a dog stays with us, I want them to feel like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax with us, play, explore the yard and find their favourite cozy spot in the house. I try to follow their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks and bedtime habits. Because I’m home a lot, I’m able to give them plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they’re settling in. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adjust things based on what makes your pup feel safest and most comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, loved and probably getting a little spoiled! 🐾❤️
“Desiree was soo good to our little boy! Diesel got along so well with Luna. We got picture updates every day and knew he was in good hands, we would definitely leave Diesel with them again, great people! Overall very very satisfied and highly recommend!!”

“Sheila is the best. I’ve hat Sheila sit my cat several days over the past few months, and most recently had her sit my cat at home for a few nights. Sheila is honestly the best, very good with comms, I got periodic updates on my baby, whom I missed so much while I was away on vacation. Thank you so much Sheila! ❤️”
“She was absolutely wonderful! Very professional, kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. My cat absolutely adored her, which made me feel so much more comfortable and reassured. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and support. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. Thank you so, so much! ❤️🐈⬛”
“Julie was great. It didn't matter too much to my kitties that she arrived when she said she would, but she did, which was peace of mind for me. I'm happy to recommend Julie and looking forward to the next vacation when we she will hopefully help us out again.”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my cat and dog for a week. Even with them not being used to being with a stranger for an extended period of time, they warmed up to him quickly and really enjoyed his company.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, a 26 year old Canadian currently living in Grimsby, Ontario. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. Back in high school I started working in dog daycares through a co-op program, and quickly realized this was exactly what I wanted to do. From 2016–2022, I worked in different dog daycare and care centres across Ontario, gaining extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home! Warmly, Hannah It fits seamlessly into my schedule as pet care is my full time job. Any day, anytime I am available. Send me a message to schedule! I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I can travel to the client’s home or hotel to care for their pets. I offer services such as dog walking, outdoor exercise, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while the pet remains comfortable in their own environment or outdoors! :)
About: Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding and love for feline behavior through my experience with fostering and rescuing cats. I am particularly proud to have rescued my own three stray cats, a journey that taught me exactly what it takes to earn a cat's trust, read their subtle body language, and provide a safe, stress-free environment. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who demands constant playtime or a shy soul who just needs a quiet, patient presence, my firsthand experience with rescues means I know how to cater to their unique boundaries and make them feel completely secure while you are away.

“Teresa is so loving and compassionate towards my two Persian cats. They need lots of care and each have daily medication. She also gives them quality time and plays with them. They also need their faces wiped and she does this as well. They love her and she really gives me peace of mind that my cats are cared for. Thank you Teresa!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I love spending time with my dogs, Jimmy and Dave. Taking them on walks, giving them cuddles, giving them treats, etc. My goal is to make sure all animals have the best quality of life! I’m currently studying business, I am taking a fast track which means I am also in school during the summer. As well as being in school, I have a part time job at a restaurant as a hostess. My classes are usually around one hour long which gives me the rest of the day to spend with your furry baby. I will care for your animals by feeding on scheduled times, taking them for walks, spending as much time as possible with your animals. I ensure that your animals will be treated as my own!
About: I grew up with multiple cats at all times and have experience with all temperament types. I have babysat cats I my home for months at a time as well as make house visits for family members while away. I have experience with administration of insulin for a beloved diabetic cat.
About: Growing up, I always had animals in my life and I can't imagine living without a pet. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are so much more than pets—they're family. They're my constant companions, my greatest source of unconditional love and my best friends. Whether we're exploring new trails, enjoying quiet moments together or setting off on another adventure, they're always by my side. Life is simply better with them in it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I’m currently working a f/t night shift job (early retirement in December 2026). 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 pet. Follow your usual routine with them. I have plenty years of experience caring for a pet
About: Having owned cats for over 17 years, I bring a wealth of firsthand experience and understanding to pet sitting. I know the ins and outs of cat care, from their unique behaviors to their health needs. Your cats will be in knowledgeable and loving hands with me, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away.
About: Hi there! I’ve spent the last four years working hands-on with Full Circle Rescue, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and 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.
“Katrina was awesome! Great communication, sent us regular photos and updates of our cats, and was overall very professional. Our cats seemed happy and content while we were away, will happily book Katrina again in future.”

“Hartwin had an amazing time at doggy daycare. Hayley was very warm and welcoming, and Hartwin couldn't wait to get inside and play with her absolutely adorable dog, Penny. 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.”
“Rebecca was great with my boy Blaze from the first time they met at the Meet and Greet. During his stay with her, she provided very clear communication and updates and was a pleasure to work with. She followed his eating and rest schedule to the "T", which I very much appreciated. I look forward to booking with her again, next time I need a sitter for Blaze 😊”
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.
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.

“I am so comfortable leaving my guy with Shelly. He's well cared for and likes to be with them . Shelly exudes warmth and lots of smiles. Easy to see that she loves what she's doing”

Hopefully the paw prints did not make too much of a mess, and looks like she had a great time with bubbles 🫧.”

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. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or cozy cuddle breaks, I treat every pet like my own (and maybe spoil them just a little). 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. 🌾🐕🐾
“Kerri-Lynn was amazing with my dog. She sent updates and pictures to let me know how my pup was doing. She was also very nice and patient. Nyxie had a great time and she came home happy and tired from all her fun.”
“My dog is an overwhelming ball of puppy energy in a 45-lb body, but Shelley was amazing with her! She watched Peanut on the first truly humid day of the year, which was (by extension) the first humid day of Peanut's little life, but she kept her well hydrated and cool with a kiddie pool and breaks indoors. Shelley's own dog is a lovely Saint Bernard who was great with Peanut's chaos. All in all, my dog had a great time! Thanks, Shelley!”

About: Hi! I’m Maria, and dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 12, and all of them have been Labs — so you could say I have a lifelong soft spot for big, goofy, loving dogs. ❤️ I recently said goodbye to my sweet Maggie after 16 wonderful years together. She lived a long, happy life surrounded by so much love, affection, and care, and she truly was everything to me. My home feels very different without her, and I realized how much I miss having a dog around. I’m creating this profile because I’d love to bring some of that joy back into my home by welcoming your beloved pups into it. I know how special our dogs are and how much trust it takes to leave them with someone. Your pup will be treated with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love, just as I cared for my own dogs. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated throughout their stay. I also love taking photos, so you’ll get lots of updates — including the important ones, like what your pup is up to and just how cute they look when they’re sleeping. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your furry family member and give them a loving home away from home! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide companionship and supervision throughout the day, along with walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and making them part of my everyday routine. I treat every dog as I would my own. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines and pay close attention to their individual needs and personality. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment, with lots of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates for their family. I’m also happy to follow any special care instructions provided by the owner.
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.

“Nick has been a regular Rover for us for almost two months now. It’s worth leaving him another good review to vouch for such a great care he gives to my best paw-friend. He’s quality standards in caring for my dog has been sustained over time and this is much appreciated.”
“Julie was terrific with Lucy. Even though she was a bit timid, Julie was patient and caring, waiting for Lucy to warm up and feel safe. We will certainly use Julie for future walks.”

“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. Jessica sent daily updates with photos to put my mind at rest When we got home I don’t think my animals even missed me they were well taken care of and the house was left tidy. 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”

“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: I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs, and my time spent fostering and doing rescue work really taught me how to connect with them on their level. It showed me how much patience and love it takes to make a pup feel truly safe. To turn that passion into a daily routine, I also worked at a doggy daycare, which is just as fun as it sounds! It’s given me amazing experience with every type of dog personality imaginable—from the high-energy goofballs to the quiet ones who just want a buddy to sit with. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend, so my goal is always to treat them exactly like family, keeping them safe, happy, and understood. Having recently moved to Ontario, my schedule is completely open and flexible! Because I'm settling into the area, pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day, it is my daily routine. This open availability means I can completely adapt to your pet's specific clock, whether they need early morning walks, strict mid-day routines, or just a consistent companion throughout the week. When staying in your home, my top priority is keeping your pet's routine exactly the same so they feel safe and stress free. I treat your space with total respect while focusing on personalized care whether that means high energy playtime, long walks, or just quiet companionship. With my background in reading animal body language, I’m always attentive to their comfort levels and safety. Plus, I’ll keep you connected with regular photo updates for total peace of mind!

About: Growing up, I always had animals in my life and I can't imagine living without a pet. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are so much more than pets—they're family. They're my constant companions, my greatest source of unconditional love and my best friends. Whether we're exploring new trails, enjoying quiet moments together or setting off on another adventure, they're always by my side.

About: Hi there! I’ve spent the last four years working hands-on with Full Circle Rescue, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and 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.

“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.”
“Teena & Wayne took amazing care of our cat and dog while we were away for 9 days. They have never been taken care of by anyone other than family in the past. My boys seemed quite comfortable and happy while they stayed with them. We will definitely use them again ❤️”

“Raquel and Greg were absolutely wonderful! From the start, Raquel asked lots of thoughtful questions at the meet and greet and even followed up with more before the stay, which really showed how much she cared. During their time with Jane, she sent plenty of photo updates, took her on hikes with their dog Mina, and made sure all of Jane’s needs were met. We felt so comfortable knowing she was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”

We appreciated all your time and effort.”

“Maggie was extremely well taken care of for the 4 days we were away and we felt that she had a vacation of her own while staying with Greg and Aliza. We had regular updates with photos each day and knew that she was in good hands! I would strongly recomend Greg and Aliza and they would be our first choice for any future dog-sitting needs we may have.”
“Chickpea had the time of her life with Jodi and Jen!! I was honestly worried she wouldn’t want to come home! I got adorable photos every day of her napping and relaxing in the sun, and playing, and even doing some yoga :) My mind was totally at ease knowing that she was so happy and I didn’t have to feel guilty for being away. I truly can’t recommend them enough!”

Pepper liked Samantha as well because she got lots of cuddles from her.

Pepper enjoyed her time with her and Samantha has a beautiful and cozy home. Thank you thank you thank you for lloking after my girl.??♥️ - Julie D.”
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’ve always been a huge animal lover, and dogs have always been part of our family. We have dogs of our own, so I know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else and how reassuring it is to know they’re somewhere they’ll be genuinely loved and cared for. I’m home a lot, so your dog won’t be spending their day alone. I love having dogs around me, whether that means going for walks, playing outside, having a little shadow follow me around the house, or cuddling up on the couch. I’m also a mom of three, so our home is definitely a real, busy, loving family home! My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re simply joining our family while you’re away — with lots of attention, play, cuddles and belly rubs along the way. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home a lot and already have dogs of my own. I’m able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, outdoor time and lots of cuddles. As a mom of three, our home is busy but loving, and I’m used to keeping a consistent routine. Your dog would be included in our day-to-day life and would have company rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for and part of the family while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ When a dog stays with us, I want them to feel like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax with us, play, explore the yard and find their favourite cozy spot in the house. I try to follow their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks and bedtime habits. Because I’m home a lot, I’m able to give them plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they’re settling in. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adjust things based on what makes your pup feel safest and most comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, loved and probably getting a little spoiled! 🐾❤️
