“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.”

About: Hi, I'm Laurel! After 20+ years of running my own business, I am happily retired and dedicating my full-time availability to my true passion: caring for animals and enjoying nature. Inspired by my own fur baby, Spy, my family and I focus heavily on the health, safety, and well-being of your pets. Because I am retired, your pet gets full-time, round-the-clock companionship and a peaceful, clean home environment. Perfect for Bruce Power Commuters: My home is located right on the way to Bruce Power (just 6 minutes off Highway 33). Drop your pet off on your morning commute and pick them up on your way home! Our Safety Requirements & BoundariesTo ensure a safe, blissfully content environment for everyone, we have a few strict rules: Size Limit: We exclusively board small dogs under 15 lbs, or other small caged pets. Health First: All pets must have up-to-date vaccination records and active flea/tick prevention. Mandatory Meet & Greet: We require a quick meet-up before finalizing any booking to ensure it's a perfect match. Our weekly routine is generally the same here, up by 7am and down around 9pm. We walk early in the morning and evenings, later during the hot summer heat. Your pup will be welcomed by everyone. We are a family of dog lovers going way back. Initial visit to become acquainted is encouraged. Let’s meet up first.

I provide regular updates, ensure plenty of attention and exercise, and treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

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.

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: We had two dogs, chocolate lab (7 years) and lab/shep mix (16 years). We miss them both terribly but are not yet ready to fill the void of their losses. We are a family with 2 children (11 & 14) who are very familiar with looking after animals. We love cuddles and outdoors and have I’ll provide lots of love and exercise while you are away. We will only take animals when we can be home with them. We will accept care that goes with our work schedules to allow someone to be with the pet in our care. We have lots of space to make your pet comfortable. We will take them outside leashed as needed, and for walks. We are not comfortable allowing any animals in our care roam free and will request a leash. We also have a fenced area of yard for outside time as needed, but will still be accompanied/ supervised.

About: I’m a devoted cat mom who truly believes cats are family. My own two, Ollie (10) and June (8), have taught me everything I know. I’ve had Ollie since he was just 7 weeks old, and we’ve been through it all together, including a major bladder surgery a few months ago. My girl June was adopted at 4 months from a very difficult home. Working with her taught me the "long game" of winning over a shy or fearful cat. I know how to respect a kitty’s space while slowly building the trust they need to feel safe. What sets me apart: Medical Experience: Comfortable with oral meds and specific dietary requirements (thanks to Ollie!). The "Shy Cat" Whisperer: Patient with rescues or anxious cats who need time to warm up (thanks to June!). High Standards: I’m a stickler for fresh water, tidy litter boxes, and of course, plenty of high-quality photo updates. Genuine Love: I treat every cat with the same deep love and respect I give my own two at home.

“Kate was organized, had great communication, very friendly and reliable. She took great care of my two cats.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Alexandra and her partner. I travel for work and take my service dog with me. They can be very busy and long days so I look to Roover to make sure that Atticus, no matter what, he has all the walks, swims and off leash time he needs and deserves. The challenge is I am only in town for 1 week, then onto the next town and I don't trust most people with my dog. Well instantly I could tell Alexandra and her partner were fantastic, absolute dog people! Atticus easily trusted them. The next day when he saw them he was all tail wags and happily left for a walk. Over the next few days they took him to several different local nature trails and even had him to their house so he could have an extended break from my intense workplace. Both Atticus and I look forward to our next visit to Kincardine, what a relief to know Alexandra will be there 🦮😃”

“Katherine was amazing!!! Gogi had a great time on the hour long walk (in the rain!!). Koodos to Katherine for taking this on last minute and walking in the rain.”

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.
