About: I've been obsessed with animals, especially dogs since I can remember. My first job was walking my neighbours dog at 12 and we finally got a family dog when I was 15. I had a sweet kitty for years, I fostered dogs for a couple years from all sorts of situations, and I currently have a 12 year old lab mix who I raised from a puppy. I have puppy & senior experience so everything from training to medication administering :) I work from home so I'm available to stay with a pet all day and go for potty breaks and long lunch time walks. I would be open to dog walking if it's in the neighbourhood! I have a fenced in yard, a park behind my house and am open to crating as well. Dog friendly home as I have a senior gal so they are allowed anywhere in the house & on the furniture.

With such a full house, Roscoe got lots of the attention he craves. Matthew sent lots of updates and photos, so I never had to worry about what was going on with Roscoe. He also responded to messages promptly, which I really appreciate. Thanks to everyone in the house for taking such good care of Roscoe!”

“This was my first time booking with Raylene and I will absolutely be booking with her again! She is incredibly responsive and clearly cares so much about the creatures she cares for. She did an excellent job managing my cat's medication needs on top of providing lots of play time and affection. My normally very anxious cat seemed totally at ease when I returned from a 10 day trip. She provided excellent photos and updates from every visit and provided me so much peace of mind while I was away.”

About: PEACE OF MIND... that is my gift to you while you are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and home in the hands of someone who is mature and trustworthy. You can rest assured that daily walks and lots of time outside (if that is what your pet wishes) will be what in store during your time away.) Have a lovely vacation! Your home becomes my home while you are away... which includes caring for all the needs of your loved one. Rest assured that they become my top priority while you are enjoying yourself. Caring for your pet is all about knowing what they wish... which is why you will give me a "wish list" that I can refer to each day.
“Alexis was great! She looked after our special needs kitties so well. She was punctual, responsive and very responsible. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our kitties again in the future!”
“Kristen was incredible. Very thorough in her visits, always checked in on the app, and provided great photos of the kitties while I was away!! Kristen's communication was also incredible, very quick response time. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of support for your animals!”

Her reports on each visit were detailed and showed how patient she was being despite having having a stressed cat that required daily medication and creative bribery :) Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always had cats and I know that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and boundaries. Whether your cat is a professional cuddler, a playful troublemaker, or prefers to watch everything from a safe distance, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable! When caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: After living with cats in every house since I was young, I’ve come to feel a close bond to cats. I seem to have a knack for befriending any kind of cat, or finding a harmony. This expanded later on into caring for other cats, which came naturally to me. Since then I’ve and the opportunity to care of many cats, and quite a few homes as well. Some of these involved staying for weeks, and I make myself available for those times. I work well with most animals, but cats are especially close to me, and it’s a privilege to meet each unique little friend.
About: I am currently in an animal biology program at the university of Guelph. I am studying in an undergraduate program to apply to veterinary school. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for the last 3 summers as a veterinary assistant. I earned a certificate of completion for a course regarding animal CPR and choking. I won 2nd and 1st place at the College Royal Dog Show. I am well versed in furry companions and would love to meet yours!! I would love to fit walks or pet care in between my university classes during weekdays, or at any point over the weekends. I will try my best to be flexible! I have my own fluffy cat named Mouse (he is a very large maine coone). He is spoiled beyond belief as will your pets be. I believe in positive reinforcement and many, many treats!
“Taylor took great care of our 3 cats and our home while we were away. Everything was spotless when we returned home and it was clear our crew was well taken care of and happy while we were gone. From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She sent thoughtful updates and photos and completely made us feel at ease. We recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: If there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that I am an absolute cat enthusiast. I’ll jump at any opportunity to greet a feline friend, and even just seeing one brightens my day. For the past six years, I’ve provided reliable cat care, including administering medications and patiently handling even the moodiest of kitties. I also know how important a fresh home is, so keeping the litter box spotless is always a top priority.
“Odin had such a good time that he didnt come to door to see me when I got home after 1.5 hours with Shannon. This is unheard of from my puppy. I was both happy and a little offended lol. Shannon has a good energy and dogs feel it.”
About: As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
“Teya did a great job of looking after my three cats. She was thoughtful and communicated often. I would definitely hire her again, and I highly recommend her! I was confident that my cats were well taken care of by Teya.”
“Marlo is amazing! She’s very responsive and takes such good care of Rango. She sends me the best photos of her visits, I am never worried about Rango when Marlo is booked to check in on him.”
“Lauren took such good care of my two cats, one of which requires insulin injections twice daily. When our trip was extended due to the Air Canada strike, Lauren was so accommodating. She’s friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable about their unique medical needs. I’ll be using Lauren’s services exclusively whenever I need a cat sitter!”

“3rd time's a charm! Frankie was very happy to see Shelley on his 3rd visit, and I could tell he was confident and excited to see other dogs this time, which is so great for me to see! He was also not so 'clingy' when I went to pick him up, he was happy (and tired) from playing and visiting :) Shelley took great care of him while I could go and get lots done! <3”

But Camila has managed the situation well. We will be dropping off Sparky again ar Camila’s place soon.”

About: I have always been growing up with pets in my lifetime. I am experienced with dogs big and small. Cats of different breeds. I have experience with rabbits and chickens as well. I am currently retired and at home most of the time. We have a fenced large sized backyard that the dogs can play in safely. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. They are allowed to go in and out whenever they wanted. I do meet and greet to make sure dogs have good temperament that they can get along with each other. I am flexible in time schedule so I can always be at home to ensure dogs are safe and get along with each other. Breaking conflicts before they even started.
“Pei took good care of Nala while we were away in the city. Nala had fun with Oscar and Pei, running around in their beautiful backyard. She took Nala out for a hike, and she was a tired pup coming home! Thank you, Pei. :)”
About: I grew up with pets and have loved them ever since. I have had many furry friends over the years and appreciate the company of a good dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. With working from home on a regular basis, looking after a dog works well. I just lost our old Golden Retriever Rosie this summer and it has left a hole in my heart, especially her furry companion, Finn the ragdoll cat. If you have a Great Friendly Dog that is Totally comfortable with cats, please reach out to me as I would love to give them some love while you are away. I love hiking and walking so would look forward to doing this with your furry friend. I have a fenced back yard but would expect to give good daily walks for your dog. They could be in and out of the house as they wish.
“Deborah was welcoming, caring and attentive to our pet. She was very responsive and communicated throughout the day sharing wonderful pictures. Our dog came home happy and tired after a day of playing with her dog and the nice walk on the trails.”
About: I grew up with two family dogs, a dachshund and a german shepherd and wanted dogs in my life ever since I moved out from home. I waited patiently for 7 years until I could buy a house with a backyard to get my fur baby. Nala, our bernese mountain dog is the first child in mine and my wife's life. We both work from home and can give the care and special attention that your pupper deserves. We live close to great leash-free dog parks and trails, so your pup is guaranteed to have a lot of play and fun. We also do realize that each dog is an individual and special care instructions will be duly followed. I and my partner are fully vaccinated. We are both professionals working from home, so we have plenty of time during the day to tend to your dog's needs. During the day, we will make sure your dog is taken out as per your instructions. In the evening, we take our dog for long walks and would be happy to take your dog along. Your pet will get a lot of attention, cuddles, love and care. We are also flexible to your needs. We have a fully fenced yard where your pet can play with our 1.5 years old friendly dog. Your dog can run around in the backyard with their favourite toy. We would certainly be keeping an eye out from our garden gazebo and make sure that your dog is never unattended.
“They were absolutely fantastic. Very understanding to my schedule changes, and didn't seem phased by Henry's hound noises! (Which are loud and weird, I promise haha) They even made sure he had his medication when my instructions weren't complete. Henry left happy and now he's zonked on the couch. Their big backyard was great for a sniffer like him, and he loves a good couch cuddle. Will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and a genuine love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, from playful and energetic to calm and reserved. I pay close attention to behaviour, routines, and cues, making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I approach every dog with patience, responsibility, and care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I work part-time with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, accommodating last-minute requests, or spending extra time with your pet, I’m able to prioritize their care and ensure they receive reliable, attentive support. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to behaviour and surroundings, making sure pets are safe at all times, whether that means secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, or keeping a calm and clean environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience where pets feel cared for and owners feel reassured.

“Taylor came by for another walk with Hershey and he was so well taken care of ! We had a very well exercised dog on our hands for the rest of the day and he just loves her - tries to bring her all of his toys to convince her to stay once they’re back.”
“Kristen is an amazing dog sitter. From the first she walked our two male dogs, she demonstrated not only professionalism but love with the GSD and Jack Russel. They are both strong and energetic dogs but she handles them with grace. From the moment they met Kristen, both dogs took a liking to her. She has been very reliable and available to help us out when we needed her on short notice. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she delivers 5 star service every single time and the dogs are always happy to see her and popped out after she walks or babysit them. Thank you Kristen”
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds my whole life, and have a very deep resonance with cats especially. I’ve had one in every house I’ve ever lived. As this was natural to me, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many cats and homes over the years, sometimes for extended stays. So far, there isn’t a cat I haven’t been able to befriend or at least find harmonious ground. I’m very confident in my ability to take care of these wonderful pets. Though I’m specialized in taking care of cats, my care has been extended towards all animals, and so I have a naturally affinity to caring for any pet. This includes both birds and dogs. I’ve always been able to get along with dogs just as much as cats. In the past few years I’ve had even more opportunity to care for them in my home when their owner leaves. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, and attending to any other instructions. I’ve also assisted in caring for a dog and a home in the past year. This experience has been for both seasoned dogs and puppies, and I love the unique personalities of each. I’m confident in working with small to medium type dogs, though I love the large ones too! I would also love to continue gaining experience with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently student online working towards a diploma, and I’ve left my schedule very flexible to be available to care for the pets of others! Any time of the week will do, when not taking care of other bookings, and I can make myself available. Currently living with a beautiful black cat named cricket, who loves to stop for attention in the hallways and get chin scratches in the Kitchen. As for the home of others, I do my best to bring my utmost respect to the home and attention to instructions, giving proper play time, affection, special care to walking for the unique needs of each dog, and feeding schedules amongst other roles. I take pride into maintaining the safety and standard of the home when in care or it.
“Nova was great! Very professional, trustworthy, friendly and went above and beyond with her services. My dog, Luna, absolutely loved her time with Nova and was filled with excitement everytime she walked through the door. I would highly recommend Nova!”
About: I have experience with pets and animal care for over 10 years. I also have fish care experience as well! I am reliable and kind I enjoy caring for animals and incorporating animal care into my routine. I enjoy being around animals and would love to care for your pet! In clients homes I am respectful of their belongings and keeping their homes tidy and clean. I will ensure their pets remain comfortable in their space and are well cared for.

She kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing aquene was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
“Allison and Scott took such great care of our black lab! Almonte came home happy, healthy and tired from all the fun she had. We are so thankful to know we have found the perfect spot for her whenever we are away. They sent us daily pictures, videos and messages which were great updates. We will definitely be returning ❤️”
“Jen and Mike have been wonderful with Momo. There were a lot of pics of all the fun things they did and we could tell Momo was very well cared for ! Jen even made some lovely crochet flowers for Momo ☺️. Would 100% refer Jen to take care of your fur babies !”
“Our 2 dogs spent 8 nights and days with Catharine and her family. While there, the dogs became part of the family; cuddling on the couch, hikes in the woods, and plenty of attention. Catharine sent daily updates and communicated very well before and during the time. It was so nice to know that the dogs were in such great care with a family that enjoyed having them.”
“We were nervous about leaving Lily with someone for the first time, but Jennifer, Jason and family were wonderful. Wish I could give them 10 stars! They sent updates and responded super quickly when we messaged them. They made sure Lily was exercised and stayed healthy & happy, with extra cuddles! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby and for being so accommodating with our crazy drop off/pick up times.”
