“Excellent communication and very quick to respond. We had our two dogs stay for a week at his home. He made a fence for his backyard just so our dogs could have fun outside. Our dogs were happy and healthy when they were returned. He took many photos and was very ready to receive them. Amazing care.”
“Leah and Steven were great. Ruby came home and was exhausted from all the play during her stay. Thank you Leah and Steven. I will for sure be requesting another stay in the future.”
“Kim is a great dog sitter who really cares about the dogs in her care. I received photos, videos and updates throughout they’re stay with her which allowed me to truly enjoy my time away for a family celebration of my granddaughter’s wedding”
“Nikol is absolutely amazing! I know how much my dog 'Buddy' enjoyed his time at her home because he was so excited when we picked him up... but exhausted on the way home. I was told he ran around and played with her dog all day. I really appreciated the messages and photos from Nikol about what he got up to, it made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the day! Would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.”
“Margarida was absolutely amazing!!!! This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone besides my family. She watched him for 3 nights and was great at updating me daily. She is super sweet and welcoming :) would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Jennifer was fantastic to deal with and easy to communicate with. Sam came home happy, healthy, and with some new dog friends. I will definitely use Jennifer’s services again in the future.”
About: It can be so difficult to find somewhere you feel comfortable with to leave your pets. We treat your dogs as our own! We have two small Boston terriers who are both spayed and good with other dogs (aged 11 and 8). Lot's of affection, love, and care is given to our animals, and we have a country home with lot's of space and property for exercise and fetch! I work from home so am available to be home with your dog to be let out often. Feel free to reach out if you want to schedule a meet and greet! I currently work from home so am available to let dogs out frequently. We do travel from time to time but will list my availability accordingly. My dogs are not crated, however we are happy to use a crate if this is how your dog is trained. We do allow our pets on the furniture and to sleep in bed however again-whatever your pet is used to is what we will do. We do have a fence at the road of the property however this is not completely enclosed, so I would be putting the dog on a long rope or lead to be safe. I am out in the country with a large yard and bush, but do not leave the dogs unattended outside for any period of time-supervision always. We understand that every dog is taken care of differently and will follow whatever guidelines you are wanting for your pet.
About: Think of this as a boutique, in-home pet boarding retreat — not a kennel. With 30+ years of hands-on experience raising, hosting, and loving just about every creature imaginable — cats, dogs, fowl, rabbits, rodents, and even tortoises (yes, really) — your pet will be in wildly capable hands. Puppies who need gentle training? Seniors who need extra patience and TLC? Shy pets, quirky pets, “my pet is kind of weird” pets? I’ve met them all and adore them deeply. Our home is designed for calm, gentle pet care, nestled on a peaceful 100-acre forest property (freija.ca), which means plenty of fresh air, enrichment, and stress-free vibes. No kids, no chaos — just a quiet, loving environment where animals can actually relax. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet is never left wondering where the humans went. Someone is always around for companionship, playtime, belly rubs, or just existing together (a highly underrated skill). And then there’s Honey, our resident adventure cat and official Welcome Committee. He absolutely loves meeting visiting pets and brings big “friendly camp counsellor” energy to every introduction. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family, understands animals on a deep level, and can handle everything from puppy zoomies to senior snoozes — you just found your place. 🐾💚 My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet gets constant supervision, companionship, and engagement — ideal for puppies needing routine, senior dogs who require extra care, and pets who don’t do well being left alone. There are no children in the home, just experienced adults who speak fluent “animal.” Our home is set up specifically for gentle, low-stress pet sitting, tucked away on a quiet 100-acre forest property (freija.ca). It’s perfect for dogs who love sniffing adventures, cats who enjoy calm observation posts, and pets who thrive in a peaceful environment. No crates by default, no overcrowding, and absolutely no chaos. If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, in-home pet boarding where your pet is treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled), you’ve found it. Your pet brings the personality — we’ve already got the love, patience, and forest vibes covered.
“Maureen was awesome to work with! She was very accommodating at pick up and drop off, and even drove out of her way to pick up our pet when we were in a bind! She sent photos and was very communicative. Would recommend!”
“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”
“I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Absolutely nop notch and phenomenal. Updates and an absolute joy for us and the dogs (obviously). If you want the right people this is the spot. I would use again in a heartbeat, without question. Amazing.”

“Pam took our Josie for a night while we were away and she was excellent! Lots of updates and pictures and right away you can tell that Pamela is a dog person and has a natural ability to connect with dogs. It's comforting to know we are leaving our dog with someone who enjoys it and Josie came home happy. Thank you Pam!”
“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”

“Claudia is very knowledgeable, extremely caring and a true animal lover. She took wonderful care of our 17 yr old diabetic geriatric cat! Highly recommend her!!! Thank you Claudia 😊 M&H Durham ON”
About: I have loved, owned, trained and bonded with several dogs over many years. My black lab, Cody was "best in class" one year. We were both very proud 😊My border collie, Liam and I were inseparable. Please see my pictures. I am thoughtful, caring and confident that your pet and I would get along great! There are no other pets in my home. At the moment, my lifestyle doesn't allow for me to have a dog of my own. Therefore, being a dog sitter/walker is a good option for me to satisfy my need for Canine companionship, and give other people’s dogs the care and attention they need. The photos show the park-like setting that is right outside my back door. I have recently fenced my yard. Regardless, I would ensure your pet was safely taken outside when they needed to go outside, on leash if necessary, particularly if your elderly dog or puppy needs extra attention. I love to walk all year round. The Mildmay park is just around the corner. I often visit the Carrick Tract trails to either walk or snowshoe in the winter. I would take care of your pet as if he/she were my own.
About: Need somebody to look after your best friend? I have had dogs in my life for over 35 years. Overnight, day or just for a walk? My home and family will welcome your dog with open arms. Let me do it! I will treat your best friend very good like you do. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. Your dog can be outside and played with. We are in the country and live on almost an acre. Your dog will get lots of play time outside. In the bad weather your dog will be in my warm house. We have central air so they will get relief from the hot days. I am the one for the job. I will treat your dog like my own. I am a stay at home mom but your dog will be one of my top priorities. If I have to leave your dog for a bit it will be comfortably crated for no more than 3 hours but rewarded when I get back. I want to make a go of this so your dog with be treated wonderfully. I have pretty much always had a dog in my life. My biggest dog was a Great Dane named Angus. Give me a try! You won't be disappointed. I am willing to take two small dogs at a time at this point. Especially in the winter. Or just one big one. But ask anyways if you have big dogs and I can decide then. Our house will soon be renovated a bit and basement will be finished hopefully soon so more room coming..... I am a stay at home, mom. I have lots of time at home but do go out sometime to time. Please bring a crate. I keep a careful watch on the pets I look after. They are either tied up or leashed when I am outside. If good recall they don’t have to be.

About: Hello there! I am an outgoing gal that loves all kinds of animals! I grew up spending almost every weekend on my grandparent's farm, whether I was petting goats, feeding cattle, or taking the truck and their dog out to the fields. I have spent all of my life walking and sitting dogs for various family members and friends. I now have 3 dogs of my own and absolutely adore them! I worked at a pet store for 4 years and at a dog daycare for 2 years, and I miss the dogs so much! I have worked with breeds of all kinds and sizes, from Shih Tzus to Wolfhounds, to Border Collies to French Bulldogs! It is truly a pleasure to work with dogs of any kind, each is a unique individual with their own personalities, habits, dislikes, and likes. While at the dog daycare, I also trained puppies in their training and bootcamp programs. Furthermore, I have a years experience at a dog groomers doing bathing! I currently have open availability for pet care and walking dogs! Save for the odd day here and there, I am available everyday at nearly anytime! I believe in positive reinforcement training, and will not use any tools outside of your typical flat collar, leash, and/or harness. Walks: I can create a route based on your location and walk from the house, or drive somewhere nearby/within town. I have dog seatbelts for my backseat, so your pup will be secure! Drop-ins: I am incredibly flexible, I can and will follow any rules you lay out!
About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.
“Jacobe is very kind and great at communicating with you. He always gets back to us and provided videos from his first visit. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand at no charge and it’s obvious he loves and has experience with animals. Thank you, Jacobe!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful kittens to senior or shy cats. I respect each cat’s individual needs and routines, ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I am comfortable administering medications, maintaining clean litter areas, feeding on schedule, and providing gentle companionship to build trust. I focus on creating a peaceful home where cats feel secure and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I naturally form a bond with cats—they often love me right away, and I feel a genuine connection, treating each one as if they were my own. I can also provide references or links to previous client reviews for peace of mind.

We also have a big front yard where I do short leash walks and live on a quiet gravel road for much longer leash walks.

“Lindsay was awesome! She took good care of June, and June got along famously with her dog Ty! She provided pictures throughout the day and kept me posted on how June was doing. Will use her again and again! Thank you Lindsay 😊”
“Shorty had a wonderful day with Jesse, Natalie and Lucy. They have a great fenced in yard for the pups to sniff and play (Shorty and Lucy are still playing it cool but I think soon they will be romping buddies). Shorty loves affection and he was certainly spoiled here. They also went above and beyond, giving Shorty a little butt wash before I picked him up! I 100% recommend this household for your dog's care. They are lovely people, very dog experienced and of course they LOVE dogs!”

I am outgoing and bubbly and I always love to help out and I would love the experience to help you out with your pets. I spend most of my day with my puppies and I’m outside a lot. I train them most of my day and spend time with them Until they fall asleep. I have full time availability. I always have my pets On a leash when outside. I also take them for lots of walks and I go to the dog park a lot.
About: With over 20 years of dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand canine behavior and body language, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and happy environment for every dog. Dependable, patient, and loving, I treat each dog as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less. Dog sitting and dog walking are a seamless part of my daily life, not a side job. My days are built around consistent schedules, regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship, making it easy to give each dog the attention and structure they need. Daily walks aren’t rushed—they’re a chance for exercise, enrichment, and connection. Because caring for dogs is woven into my routine, they receive reliable, calm, and attentive care that feels familiar and stress-free. For me, it’s simply how I live—sharing my days with dogs and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for dogs in their own homes to keep their routines consistent and stress-free. I follow each dog’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, paying close attention to their individual needs and personalities. Daily walks are tailored to energy level and age, and I provide companionship, enrichment, and calm supervision throughout the visit. I also handle medication if needed, maintain food and water areas, clean up after walks, and keep the home tidy. By caring for dogs in familiar surroundings, I help them feel secure, comfortable, and well loved while their owners are away.

About: Hello there! I am an outgoing gal that loves all kinds of animals! I grew up spending almost every weekend on my grandparent's farm, whether I was petting goats, feeding cattle, or taking the truck and their dog out to the fields. I have spent all of my life walking and sitting dogs for various family members and friends. I now have 3 dogs of my own and absolutely adore them! I worked at a pet store for 4 years and at a dog daycare for 2 years, and I miss the dogs so much! I have worked with breeds of all kinds and sizes, from Shih Tzus to Wolfhounds, to Border Collies to French Bulldogs! It is truly a pleasure to work with dogs of any kind, each is a unique individual with their own personalities, habits, dislikes, and likes. While at the dog daycare, I also trained puppies in their training and bootcamp programs. Furthermore, I have a years experience at a dog groomers doing bathing! I currently have open availability for pet care and walking dogs! Save for the odd day here and there, I am available everyday at nearly anytime! I believe in positive reinforcement training, and will not use any tools outside of your typical flat collar, leash, and/or harness. Walks: I can create a route based on your location and walk from the house, or drive somewhere nearby/within town. I have dog seatbelts for my backseat, so your pup will be secure! Drop-ins: I am incredibly flexible, I can and will follow any rules you lay out!

I also have experience caring for animals with medical needs, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra support. This includes pets who are blind, have hearing loss, require oral medication, insulin, allergy care and heart medication. I’m attentive to details, comfortable following care instructions and careful about monitoring changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, mobility or comfort. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your pets, their routines, their care needs and any important details ahead of time. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel safe, cared for and settled at home! I am self-employed, so I have flexible availability and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week and structure my time around each pet’s regular schedule. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their own home and regular routine while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines. Before a booking, I like to review care instructions, health needs, emergency contacts, vet information, home access details and any household routines.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

“Excellent communication and very quick to respond. We had our two dogs stay for a week at his home. He made a fence for his backyard just so our dogs could have fun outside. Our dogs were happy and healthy when they were returned. He took many photos and was very ready to receive them. Amazing care.”
“Leah and Steven were great. Ruby came home and was exhausted from all the play during her stay. Thank you Leah and Steven. I will for sure be requesting another stay in the future.”
“Nikol is absolutely amazing! I know how much my dog 'Buddy' enjoyed his time at her home because he was so excited when we picked him up... but exhausted on the way home. I was told he ran around and played with her dog all day. I really appreciated the messages and photos from Nikol about what he got up to, it made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the day! Would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.”
“Margarida was absolutely amazing!!!! This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone besides my family. She watched him for 3 nights and was great at updating me daily. She is super sweet and welcoming :) would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Jennifer was fantastic to deal with and easy to communicate with. Sam came home happy, healthy, and with some new dog friends. I will definitely use Jennifer’s services again in the future.”
About: Think of this as a boutique, in-home pet boarding retreat — not a kennel. With 30+ years of hands-on experience raising, hosting, and loving just about every creature imaginable — cats, dogs, fowl, rabbits, rodents, and even tortoises (yes, really) — your pet will be in wildly capable hands. Puppies who need gentle training? Seniors who need extra patience and TLC? Shy pets, quirky pets, “my pet is kind of weird” pets? I’ve met them all and adore them deeply. Our home is designed for calm, gentle pet care, nestled on a peaceful 100-acre forest property (freija.ca), which means plenty of fresh air, enrichment, and stress-free vibes. No kids, no chaos — just a quiet, loving environment where animals can actually relax. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet is never left wondering where the humans went. Someone is always around for companionship, playtime, belly rubs, or just existing together (a highly underrated skill). And then there’s Honey, our resident adventure cat and official Welcome Committee. He absolutely loves meeting visiting pets and brings big “friendly camp counsellor” energy to every introduction. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family, understands animals on a deep level, and can handle everything from puppy zoomies to senior snoozes — you just found your place. 🐾💚 My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet gets constant supervision, companionship, and engagement — ideal for puppies needing routine, senior dogs who require extra care, and pets who don’t do well being left alone. There are no children in the home, just experienced adults who speak fluent “animal.” Our home is set up specifically for gentle, low-stress pet sitting, tucked away on a quiet 100-acre forest property (freija.ca). It’s perfect for dogs who love sniffing adventures, cats who enjoy calm observation posts, and pets who thrive in a peaceful environment. No crates by default, no overcrowding, and absolutely no chaos. If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, in-home pet boarding where your pet is treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled), you’ve found it. Your pet brings the personality — we’ve already got the love, patience, and forest vibes covered.
“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”

“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”
“Pam took our Josie for a night while we were away and she was excellent! Lots of updates and pictures and right away you can tell that Pamela is a dog person and has a natural ability to connect with dogs. It's comforting to know we are leaving our dog with someone who enjoys it and Josie came home happy. Thank you Pam!”
“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”
About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of friends’ pets and houses since I was a teenager. I’ve also had two dogs of my own, volunteer at animal sanctuaries and a dog rescue. I’m an ultra animal lover; so far as to being vegan. I’m a home owner and have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play in, and live on a beautiful quiet street, great for walks. I love to clean and organize spaces, so if I’m house sitting, and you’d like a little extra treat to come home to, I can add that service on! I have trained puppies and dogs to do fun tricks, and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m a TV producer and between projects at the moment, so I’m looking for some extra work to offset my down time. Weekends are my most flexible days, but week nights and the odd weekday here and there are definitely options, too! I currently don’t have any dogs, but my upstairs tenants have two cats. My yard is fully fenced for dogs to romp around; it’s quite large and mostly lawn. My neighbourhood is also perfect for walks; which I love to go on with or without a doggo. Your pets will be like my own for the hours I’m with them. They’ll still miss you, but they won’t be without love while you’re away!
“Harley absolutely loved her weekend stay with Katie! The photos, videos and constant updates were amazing and made us feel so comfortable knowing that Harley was in good hands. Katie's place is the perfect vacation spot for any dog who loves meeting new friends. It is like a giant dog park! We will be back for sure.”

About: I have 14+ years with pets of all kinds, most of my experience comes from having family pets growing up, pet sitting friends and other peoples pets (and kids), and my highschool job at PetSmart (3 years). I’ve dog sat for people before and frequently help watch my friends pets and my family cavalier spaniels when my parents are away. I have experience with all sorts of small pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc.), reptiles (tree frogs, bearded dragons, geckos, etc.), fish (fresh water and saltwater), and of course cats and dogs! I am comfortable around all breeds, cat or dog, and I don’t believe in bully breeds. I love cuddle time! I love to sit in bed or on the couch with my furry friends all around me! I also love to play fetch with other people’s dogs (or cats), since my own dogs never seemed to grasp the concept of “bring the toy back”.
