Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hanover

“Chris was fantastic with my Lab. He was very professional and provided daily updates. I felt confident that my pet was being well taken care of in his home.”

Mary-Lynne B.

“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”

About: Hi! I have had cats and/dogs in my home since I was 2. I have a big heart and plenty of patience. I have experiences with feeding, walking, cleaning, washing, adhearing to explicit vet instructions for medical needs, reactive personalities, practicing training, being gentle where needed and playing with animals. I am away from home from 8:00am-4:30pm on week days for work. I am unavailable for active care during that time unless for example, this includes a cat who can thrive independently while I am away for the day. At my home, I have yard in the back and lots of neighbourhoods to walk through. Inside my home I have the space to care based on a mutually agreed-upon plan of care. I live in an apartment and it is a nice quiet space. If care involves boarding with me, I would currently prefer you send your own supplies per the needs of your pet(s) (bowls, food, treats, litter/litter box/puppy pads/poop baggies, leash, toys, and other). If at a clients home, I am respectful, a great listener to the needs of the pets, the preferences of the household and am great at communicating when facilitating active 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.”

Lidia B.

“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.”

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.

About: I’ve have had a dog my entire life, working with rescues and making them comfortable within my home. My currently dog Maxie is a rescue that came from a horrible background and wouldn’t even come to us the first day we met her. Now two years later she is the most snuggling loving girl. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your dog, I go on plenty of walks and will have more then enough time to spend with your dog I have a fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. Your dog will have 3 loving dogs to play with, and watched at all times

“Lindsay was fantastic with our pup. Thank you so much Lindsay for taking great care of our girl. Great communicator all the way through from start to finish.”

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.

“Pam was wonderful with Kalie; I highly recommend her. She kept in contact throughout her stay and sent many pictures of Kalie which put my mind at ease. Kalie takes daily meds and when she would take her pills in the morning Pam was able to pill her iwhich was a great relief. Not to mention that she left the house super clean — which I completely appreciate. Thanks Pam!”

Michelle V.

“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!”

Jess D.

“Melissa and Jacob were excellent with Roxy. They included her like family and ensured all her needs were met. Would definitely book with them again!”

Melissa W.

“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with Margot! She took incredible care of her, including taking her on a great walk and perfectly handling her insulin routine. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Margot was in such responsible, caring hands. Highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter!”

About: I have 1 year of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully and keep pets in a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I provide regular updates, ensure plenty of attention and exercise, and treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

“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.”

Jason R.

“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!”

About: I am currently taking the dog training course. I am 31. I live in an apartment. I have 1 puppy. I am a psw and care aid. And I’ve decided to become a trainer, groomer, sitter and dog walker. 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: Ive taken care of dogs and cats for over 30 years. Have done some pet sitting as well which included regular walks, play time , feeding and grooming and giving medication. They will be well takken care of in my care. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and am available during the day several days a week and every other weekend. Prefer animals to stay with me. I have 1 cat so your dog will need to be accustomed to cats. My cat has been around dogs. I live out in the country with hiking trails surrounding me so I will be walking the dog daily there.

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.

“Claudia was amazing! She knew what questions to ask and treated my cat and bird like her own. Claudia sent so many wonderful pictures, including her cuddling the kitty. :) Her attention to detail was fantastic and we have never felt so calm leaving our pets in someone else’s care. Thank you Claudia!”

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.

“Natalie was amazing with Casper! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind.

It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and having a fun day. I would absolutely trust Natalie with Casper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter or walker. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾”

About: Hi! I have had cats and/dogs in my home since I was 2. I have a big heart and plenty of patience. I have experiences with feeding, walking, cleaning, washing, adhearing to explicit vet instructions for medical needs, reactive personalities, practicing training, being gentle where needed and playing with animals. I am away from home from 8:00am-4:30pm on week days for work. I am unavailable for active care during that time unless for example, this includes a cat who can thrive independently while I am away for the day. At my home, I have yard in the back and lots of neighbourhoods to walk through. Inside my home I have the space to care based on a mutually agreed-upon plan of care. I live in an apartment and it is a nice quiet space. If care involves boarding with me, I would currently prefer you send your own supplies per the needs of your pet(s) (bowls, food, treats, litter/litter box/puppy pads/poop baggies, leash, toys, and other). If at a clients home, I am respectful, a great listener to the needs of the pets, the preferences of the household and am great at communicating when facilitating active care.

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.”

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.

About: I’ve have had a dog my entire life, working with rescues and making them comfortable within my home. My currently dog Maxie is a rescue that came from a horrible background and wouldn’t even come to us the first day we met her. Now two years later she is the most snuggling loving girl. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your dog, I go on plenty of walks and will have more then enough time to spend with your dog I have a fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. Your dog will have 3 loving dogs to play with, and watched at all times

“Lindsay was fantastic with our pup. Thank you so much Lindsay for taking great care of our girl. Great communicator all the way through from start to finish.”

“We were nervous about leaving our 4 dogs with a stranger and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable ! She had no problems taking out the dogs (including my 100 pound monster lol ) and gave us plenty of updates ! 10/10 dog sitting and I would recommend leaving your fur babies with her any day :)”

“Pam was wonderful with Kalie; I highly recommend her. She kept in contact throughout her stay and sent many pictures of Kalie which put my mind at ease. Kalie takes daily meds and when she would take her pills in the morning Pam was able to pill her iwhich was a great relief. Not to mention that she left the house super clean — which I completely appreciate. Thanks Pam!”

“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!”

“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!”

About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.
