“Thank you to Linda and Bob for taking such good care of Chester for the week. Chester enjoys his time there and comes home happy, we really appreciate how they make him a part of their family.”
“My dogs loved staying with Holly! Even my anxious Stella cuddled up, had fun and overall had a great time. Holly took loving care of my dogs and gave me great updates. Thanks Holly!”
“Brigit was absolutely amazing from the first time I spoke with her to the day I picked up my boy! The love she has for animals (great dane in my case) is unbelievable as my dog walked in and felt right at home during the meet and greet. Brigit loves to find out every small detail about your pet so she can make sure your pet is treated the exact way they are at home! She sends lots of updates which I appreciate. We have a large breed which involved some strict guidelines and Brigit followed everything so carefully. I HIGHLY recommend her and Robert and will most definitely be booking again! What a wonderful experience, and I didn't feel stressed at all while we were gone. Thank You!”
“Ricci took such great care of our Waldo! You can tell she is such an animal lover when you meet her. She sent updates and photos so we had peace of mind when we were away. Waldo will be a repeat customer!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dhanesha! She took excellent care of my dog, Rose, while I was away. From the daily updates with photos to the thoughtful attention to Rose's needs, everything was perfect. Dhanesha is reliable and trustworthy. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pet. I highly recommend Dhanesha to anyone looking for top-notch pet care.”
“Pamesha was a wonderful dog sitter! We left our two beagles in her care while we were away and she kept us fully updated with texts and photos. She responded promptly and took great care of our doggos.”
“Our senior dog recently spent a week with Robyn. She is amazing! Our boy was well cared for and the pictures and descriptions of his days were so appreciated. He looked so happy in every picture! Lots of room to play in her yard and she is very attentive to the dog's individual needs. He is looking forward to staying with Robyn again!”
“Melissa is really warm and welcoming - we left our 11 month old puppy for 5 days. Although we were nervous to leave him, he was well taken care of and we will use Melissa in the future!”
“Indy was well looked after at Kristiina’s home. She was in very good spirits when I picked her up. Kristiina adapted (enjoyed!) to her little quirks easing any stress that Indy might have had with her first stay. I will not hesitate to leave Indy in her care in the future.”
“Heather is the most wonderful dog sitter! She is warm and understanding of our pet’s needs and I cannot say enough about the quality of care that our Willow received from Heather while we were away at a wedding. Willow was well fed, walked, played with and snuggled! We really felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands. Heather sent us updates, photos and even a little video of how Willow was doing and having so much fun playing with her dog Alfie. We are so totally impressed with Heather!”
“If I could give Caitlin 10 stars I would. She took absolutely exceptional care of my dog while I was away, completely exceeds expectations, and truly goes above and beyond. She sends regular picture and video updates by request, and is always responsive to messages, questions, or any concerns you may have. Caitlin is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, friendly, and has a genuine passion for ensuring she takes the proper care of your pet in your absence. You cannot go wrong booking with Caitlin, she is the definition of what a good person is. Thank you so very much again, Rio and I cannot wait to get back and see you!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Hunter! This was his very first time away from our family, so we were naturally a little nervous. Vanessa and Paige went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and loved. They kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, took him swimming, and gave him so much attention and care. When we picked him up, he honestly looked even better than when we dropped him off! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such kind, caring hands while we were away. Thank you so much, Paige and Vanessa, for treating Hunter like one of your own. We will absolutely be booking with you again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“We had a great experience with Ella looking after our dog. She sent regular updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring, and it was clear Ella was kind and loving. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it looked like he had a great day. We’d definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Ella again!”
“Stephan boarded my dog during our vacation and took utmost care towards her throughout our absence. He would send us constant pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend him.”
About: I'm an experienced and hard-working sitter in the Kingston area, offering peace of mind that your home and little ones are well taken care of in your absence. I have lived with animals my entire life. Naturally, I understand you're seeking the best possible care for your little ones, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I've been a Pawshake sitter since February 2019 and have been loving every moment of making so many new four-legged friends! About my services: HOME VISITS consist of one afternoon or evening visit that lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. During this visit, I would feed your pet(s), refresh their water dish, play & socialize with them, clean their litter box, and so on. I'm also happy to water your plants, bring your mail inside and take out garbage/recycling when needed. HOME BOARDING at my spacious, ground-level apartment means that your cat or dog would stay with me and my pets for overnights over an extended period of time. You can rest assured that your feline friends will get tons of pats and cuddles, and that dogs will be walked twice a day with plenty of opportunities to run around the yard in between. All you need to bring is their food, treats, and leash! I also offer HOUSE SITTING. The house sitting option means Birdie, Bowie and I would stay at your residence round the clock, provided I don’t have any bookings for home boarding at the requested time. This service would be ideal for households with both cats and dogs, or for animals who have a harder time adjusting to new environments. My apartment is puppy-proofed, equipped with puppy pads if needed, two litter boxes (scooped daily), and lots of toys, beds, and treats for cats and dogs alike. It's clean and spacious, with big windows for bird-watching. I have a very large, fenced-in yard for tons of extra play time, rain or shine. I have installed pet gates with built-in cat doors throughout the apartment, so cats and small dogs can have their privacy away from the larger guests when I am unable to supervise. About my pets: I have two pets of my own: An easygoing, playful, and extremely dog-savvy black cat named Gigi Luigi (4 years, male, neutered) who loves making new kitty friends, and a flat coat retriever/labradoodle named Bowie (3 years, female, spayed). Both would relish the extra company and have been socialized to respect animals of all shapes and sizes. Both are also up to date on their vaccines. I think that covers it! Thanks for giving my page a gander. I hope to meet you and your little ones soon! ☺️ I do work full-time as a community mental health nurse, but working in the community means I can drop by my home for short visits as many times per day as needed, and spend my lunch break at home every day as well. I take Bowie for 1-2 off leash adventures every day, whether or not I am working. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep yours occupied, and would be taking them on and off leash adventure at least once a day, regardless of whether I work. I also have the flexibility to pop into my home throughout the day on days I do work, so the pups get frequent potty breaks and are never left alone for long stretches.
“Ana took fantastic care of Korra. We especially appreciated the lovely photos we got every day of Korra playing and enjoying her walks! This is not the first time we left Korra with Ana, and we'll happily use Ana's services again.”
“Deanna & Scott did a great job caring for my dog while I was away for 10 days. They sent me lots of pictures and were always easy to talk to. I had no worries while I was away which made my trip much more enjoyable.”
About: I grew up with a small family dog as a young child in our family home, and took the leap into adulthood and dog ownership on my own! Porter is a 5.5 year old male neutered bernedoodle. He's super spoiled and rules the house :-) He loves having a playmate around so we thought we'd check out the Rover scene! We have experience looking after our neighbours dogs (Golden retrievers and a yellow lab). I have used Rover as a pet parent for help during vacations, etc. I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy that will follow instructions. We go on 4 walks a day - sometimes more with yard play thrown in. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to allow all the dog care! I'm familiar with medicating dogs, including allergy injections so I can assist with care like that if required. I'm guilty of taking so many pictures of my dog, especially when he has friends visit so please be comforted knowing you will get lots of updates! We live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim and loves pontoon boat rides, they will have one heck of a vacation :-) If you have multi dog family - I'm happy to host them all! Please - no cats. I currently work from home and have lots of time with my flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, enrichment, etc. Porter can adjust to anyone else's schedule to make it easier, or we can do solo walks if that would be your preference. I do not have a fenced yard, but we go on leashed walked at least 4x a day - plus more playtime. Porter is allowed on furniture, so your dog is as well! There are no separate rooms for dogs in my house. He used to be crate trained and so i am familiar with it and can crate your dog if you require it.

“Lori has taken excellent care of our senior cat Pinkie over multiple different occasions when we have been out of town!

I know my sweet little lady is in good hands with Lori.”
“Treena was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat and made me feel so comfortable leaving her for a couple days! She gave my cat her meds with no problems and was so tidy and easy to communicate with. Would book again. Thanks Treena!”
“Myriam did an excellent job on all levels with the feeding, litter cleaning, entertaining Polly and especially keeping me posted both with pics and messages so I was always confident and happy that all was well.

Thanks Myriam”
“Shelley looked after our cat Jinx while we were away for 2 weeks. We got daily updates of her activities. Shelley arranged an intial meeting with Jinx before we left which was great. Would happiky ask Shelley again to mind Jinx in the future.”
“This was my first time leaving my beloved fur baby for more than two days to attend a conference. I needed to find a sitter who I can trust my baby and Susan has been amazing! My cat is generally shy but it only took her two visits to warm up to Susan, play, and even ask for belly rubs! I will be definitely back for two other conferences I have already lined up in November and hopefully some vacation before that! Thanks a lot Susan for taking such a good care of my baby!”
“Ana took care of my cat Ellie for a 2 night / day stay. She was very welcoming, and shared picture and updates that gave us peace of mind. She took care to ensure that both my cat and her cat had needed time to slowly get to know each other. Would recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a third year Queen’s University student who seriously misses having dogs around while I’m at school! Back home, I have six dogs of my own (yes, six lol! chaos, love, and fur everywhere), and I’ve fostered over 100 dogs throughout my lifetime with many different dog rescues. Basically, my life resume is just… dogs. I love pups of all ages, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a slower stroll and some extra love. A few of my dogs have been through puppy school, where we both learned tricks, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, routines, and good walking manners. I truly believe dogs are better than humans (no offence), and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a long adventure walk, a potty break, or just someone who genuinely loves being around dogs, I’ve got them covered. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and tail wags are always my top priority 🐾 Since I am a university student with a mix of in-person and online classes, that leaves me with lots of consistent free time between classes. My schedule doesn’t change week to week, and I’m free most weekends for walks, drop-ins, and quality pup time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize safety on walks, keep spaces tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pup is in great hands:)
About: I’ve had a cat in my life since I was born and have loved them ever since. I care deeply for them and take joy in every part of their care, even the litter! I have had a lot of experience with giving medications, trimming nails, and especially playing with them!
“Luke was fantastic. He is very responsive and friendly. Texting and coordinating with him was a breeze, and I felt very safe with him in charge of things. I received timely updates and he seemed to get a genuine kick out of my pets (the photos were very cute). I'd recommend him very strongly!”
About: I grew up always having cats, and care for them was taught from a young age. In middle school and high school I was the primary pet carer in my family, and cat-sat for multiple neighbours regularly.
About: Hi! My name is Ashleigh, I’m a second-year politics student at Queen’s University. I’m responsible, easy to reach, and I take looking after other people’s pets seriously. I’ve had my own cat for almost two years, and I’ve lived with and helped take care of a kitten as well, so I’m used to the different needs cats have. I’m confident with feeding, entertaining, administering medication, and just making sure pets are comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
“I had too rebook Yidan for her amazing services.. both my babies love her … she took amazing care of… shared pictures so that i dont miss them more .. lol… great communication and detailed information on my babies after every visit … will definitely rebook Yidan for our next time too”
“Alyce took such good care of my two cats while I was traveling for a week. She sent lovely photos during each visit and shared thoughtful updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy and well cared for when I came back. Alyce is reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Our cat Alphie was so well taken care of by Mary! She intuited Alphie’s preferences and he immediately took to her. The daily photo updates were also wonderful! We will definitely be one of her repeat customers.”
About: As a cat owner and animal lover, I understand first-hand just how stressful it is to leave our fur babies alone for a few hours, days, or even weeks. So, I’m here to make sure you can rest easy knowing that your cats are cared for, loved, and kept happy on the daily. I’m able to provide all types of care and have no problem administering oral medications or wound care, and I’m also currently obtaining a certification on Pet First Aid. In order to give you even more peace of mind, I will also provide you with daily updates on how your cats are doing, as well as send you photos/videos ☺️
About: I have lots of experience babysitting my auntie’s 3 dogs (Corgi, Newfoundland doodle mix, Golden Retriever) and my uncle’s Husky mix. I’ve always been very passionate about dogs and really wanted one, but have been unable to because of my mom’s allergy. I’m a responsible student at Queen’s university who will make sure to treat your dog with lots of love. As a university student, I have classes during the day but am usually available from the afternoon onwards on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My weekends are also usually free, so I will have lots of time to ensure the pups have a good experience. I live in an apartment on the fourth floor (we have an elevator), which is a little difficult for keeping large dogs in for extended periods of time, but I will make sure that your pup spends lots of time exercising outside.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
“Pamesha did an awesome job watching my little guy Harvey. It was my first time leaving him with someone he doesn’t know and Pamesha definitely put my mind at ease the minute I met her and saw how she interacted with Harvey. And bonus! She tuckered him out so much that he took a nap the minute we got home!”
About: I have taken care of many different types of cats and dogs over the years and can't wait to meet more. I provide high-end care for any pets in the Kingston area! For pets coming over to my home for care, I have one female golden, Sia, who gets along well with all animals. I am also now specializing in care for reactive dogs. I work part-time at Queen's University during the evenings and always have all daytimes free for whatever you or your pet has in mind for that day! I have strong safety senses and always come prepared with all the crucial first aid equipment and pet tools that could be needed in any situation. I also have the back of my car setup for pets, should yours need to be transported somewhere.
“Kirti was great! I was in the kingston area for a family trip and had to leave my dog for a few hours. Kirti was wonderful and took my energetic dog on walks and fed him his dinner. She also kept me updated which was important for me. I would recommend her to anyone in the kingston area!”
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”
About: I will take care of your pet as if it's mine, and I'm doing it just because i love then but can't have mine at this time. I have had my own cats and dog and I know them well. Thank you for trusting me, i will do my best to make you and your pet happy. I am a graduate student and my schedule is completely flexible during the summer. I just need to know 1 day in advance so i can plan my day. I am living in a relatively big apartment with an unfenced yard. Pets allowed everywhere and on bed. I don't have other pets, and I will be here until October.
“What a great pet sitter, my dog was ansioux (sp), she took him for a ride in the car and a walk. He found the other dog toy chest and he was fine, I will use her again. You can tell she adores animals.”
About: 10 years plus experience with dogs. I teach commands. Better behaviours and socialization with other dogs. Your pets will be tired out and full of love in my care. I will send pictures and updates through my entire time with your babies. My apartment has a dog park right in the back of the building! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time for your beautiful fur babies. There will be routine as I work from home and am able to leave the desk. I only work a few hours a day. Long walks and amazing socialization with all the other dogs in the home. I Will get your dogs to face their fears. I’m so excited to watch your fur babies
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
About: Hi, I’m Elsa! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and people in my community since I was 16 years old, and it’s truly one of my greatest passions. I live in Kingston in a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for pets of all sizes. I happily welcome both small and large dogs, as well as cats and other small animals. 👩🏻💻 I work from home full-time, so your pets will rarely be left alone. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. 💕 I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and turtles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. Every pet has its own personality, and I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. When your pet stays with me, I care for them as if they were my own. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or not-so-furry!) family member and give them all the love and care they deserve. ❤️ MY SERVICES • Boarding in my home (all sizes welcome) • Drop-in visits at your home • Daily walks • Available days, evenings, and overnight • Short- and long-term stays • Medication administration if needed • Full-time work-from-home supervision Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles (not just before and after work). I enjoy keeping pets on their usual routine and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about their habits, favourite activities, energy level, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. For dogs, that might mean walks, outdoor play, games, or simply relaxing together. For cats, it could be quiet company, playtime when they feel like it, or respecting their space. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. When pets stay in my home, they also have access to a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is simple: to make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
“Our dogs were with Heather for the day, they came home happy and tired. They had an amazing day. We would definitely have our dogs stay with Heather again. She gave us updates ( photos and videos) and her sweet dog Elphie was a great playmate. Thank you thank you Heather for welcoming and taking care of Archie and Delilah.”
About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I also fostered a court-rescue dog through the SPCA for over a year, giving me valuable experience with anxious and nervous pets. I’m experienced with rescue dogs, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I have a calm, pet-friendly cat at home and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. Friends and neighbours regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. 🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a fully fenced grass yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Since I have a resident cat who is very laid back, I primarily welcome guest dogs who are already comfortable and friendly with feline companions. Because I am currently based at home, I can offer constant supervision and a consistent routine that mirrors your pet's life at home. Whether I am boarding a dog or visiting a cat for a drop-in, I focus on personalized care, ensuring they are well-exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention. My background with rescue animals means I am highly observant of body language, so I’m always making sure every pet feels relaxed and at ease, whether we’re relaxing in the garden or out for a walk.
About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.
“Graham and Laura took such great care of my little guy! And bonus - they tuckered him out so good he passed out on the drive home 🤣🤣🤣. Harvey can’t wait to hang out with them again!”
About: I would love to take care of your pets, I’m responsible and I’m obsessed with taking care of them, so they are in good hands. Im available full time since I quit my job 3 months ago and I would like to do this as a full time job. The best job! The pets would be inside unless they have to pee or poo (for dogs haha) for cats I clean the litter of my cats daily and I’m very careful with what they eat or if they need something.
“We are so grateful to have had Lisa take care of our puppy at times when our work schedules caused some chaos. She let our girl run and play with her dogs in her large fenced yard. Her dogs are incredibly patient with our high energy puppy. We trust Lisa completely with our puppy!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Peter, it was such a relief knowing my dog was in such safe hands. My dog beau absolutely adored Peter as well and Beau was so happy after his walk! I will forsure be rebooking with Peter!”
“Juno started whimpering when he saw Thomas arrive for his walk. On a cold, windy, rainy day - Juno had no other hope for exercise. He gives 4 stars. He said he’d give 5 but Thomas didn’t have steak in his pocket.”

“Vanessa was so great! She tracked how many pee’s my little gremlin took (she marks her territory) and she brought in two of my packages for me which is so nice. Thank you so much Vanessa! Will definitely be contacting you again”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in elementary school for my friends and family and have loved them ever since. I enjoy every moment I spend with animals and love to hike so it’s perfect for me! I am a part-time soccer coach for elementary age children, and work evenings on the weekdays and mornings on the weekends, but other than that my schedule is pretty free! I have a fairly spacious house and yard! We are a smoke-free and caring home filled with animal lovers! We have a few pets but they are all calm and inviting! (A 2 year old cat and a 30 year old turtle)
About: Hello! I'm Thalia, and I live in downtown Kingston neighbourhood close to many parks. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I grew up with and cared for a Wheaton Terrier for 14 years, and have been a dog lover my whole life. With such a flexible work schedule, I have a lot of free time that I'd love to spend hanging with a doggo! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I can give outdoor breaks whenever needed, and at least a 30-60 minute walk each day. I'm happy to follow special care instructions and can help with medication if needed. I will make sure that your dog has a very fun, safe and comfortable time with lots of love and attention! As I work from home full time, I am very flexible and can include pet care into my daily routine to fit the needs of your pets 😊 I live close to many parks for lots of outdoor play time, and in a safe neighbourhood for long walks. I do not yet have a dog of my own, so can devote all my attention to taking care of yours!
About: With nearly a decade of pet-sitting experience, I have helped with training cats and dogs in skills such as "sit", "down", and "high-five". I have a six-year-old Australian Labradoodle, whom I regularly care for. I'm a student in Kingston and work as a lifeguard/swim instructor, so my schedule varies by season. I like to plan my Rover commitments monthly and prioritize dog walking services. I enjoy providing pet care while I'm away from my hometown (Ottawa), as I have a dog of my own whom I miss dearly. When providing house sitting services, I am dedicated to maintaining open communication with clients via daily texts, photos, and/or emails. Please let me know of your pet's favourite activities, including walks, playing fetch, arranging play-dates, and visiting dog parks.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning 5 of my own. I’ve also worked in two doggy daycares, where I gained experience supervising play and managing different temperaments. I’m Fear Free certified, so I’m able to recognize and respond to signs of fear, anxiety, and stress. I’m most comfortable with small to medium dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I already work part-time in a doggy daycare and care for multiple dogs of my own. I’m experienced in walks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. I provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, making sure your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, and will update you with notes or photos so you always know how they’re doing.
“Susan continues to exceed our expectations. She is so kind and our dog, Spencer, just loves his time with her. We are so thankful knowing that Spencer is in good hands when we are away. Thank you, Susan!”
“Luke took the time to get to know my two dogs and had great patience with my puppy. He had great communication and sent videos and pictures during their walk. He was very flexible and accommodating with his availability and services. I highly recommend Luke and will be using his services again in the future!”
About: For my whole life, we have had a family dog or two in our home. Since moving to Kingston from the west, I have sincerely missed the companionship and unconditional love dogs provide. I'm hoping to extend my love for dogs by caring for yours! Since I am a student, I have flexibility during the day while working a remote job for the summer. I am able to check on your pups or take them for a lovely walk until 4:00PM. I am fully comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes as long as leashes and harnesses are provided. Additionally, I can spend time with your pup and administer food and medication, if needed.
About: I spent 8 years caring for a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with big personalities (and even bigger dogs). I currently take care of a 2-year-old cat, which means I’m well-versed in earning trust, respecting boundaries, and providing attention on their terms. I am currently working part-time so I have all the extra time to take care of your loved ones! Plus having a car so extra flexible! I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of the home, keeping things clean and secure. Whether it’s a walk or a visit, I focus on creating a calm, reliable experience so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: I have always had dogs growing up. Since moving to my own apartment, I have fostered through the Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue organization. I love caring for pets until I am ready to have one of my own. I work Wednesday to Saturday and am free Sunday to Tuesday for full service care. I will be with your pet 100% of the time with no distractions! I live in an apartment with my boyfriend (who also loves dogs) so I am only able to take in small to medium sized dogs. However, I can house sit and walk any sized dog no problem. There is a park near my apartment where I can take the dog to run around and go to the bathroom. I also have a medium sized crate if needed.
About: I have had the joy of loving cats and dogs of my own throughout my life. I assisted my cat Randi with the birth of 2 litters. We adopted my dog Quinn as a new born puppy and cared for him until his Senior years when he went blind and sadly passed away. I am experienced at caring for sick animals and administering medications. I also volunteered at the humane society walking dogs and playing with them. As well I volunteered at the cat adoption at pets smart From changing kitty litter playing and giving love. I am recently retired and have alot of time available to pet sit. Currently I have Monday to Sunday available. From 9am to 6 pm. I can accommodate. Iam available to care for any pets in their home. What ever is needed for care such as feeding, walking. And of course lots of cuddles and playing and making sure they are safe
About: My partner and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have an eight month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She is currently training to be a service dog but still has some puppy brain and enjoys playing with other dogs!! We have trained her in many domains and she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! I am currently in school so I am available to watch your dogs during the weekday and most weekends. Our schedule during the week and weekends would be potty breaks every 0-2 hours. During the work week we are happy to walk your dogs anytime during the day :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets responsibly while also providing a fun and loving environment. I’m currently working full time and would love to get out and take care of animals. Every day looks different so I am available mornings and evenings. I have a family border collie. I am able to take animals for long walks, let them out and give them food and water and provide any care they may need.

“Brigit was absolutely amazing from the first time I spoke with her to the day I picked up my boy! The love she has for animals (great dane in my case) is unbelievable as my dog walked in and felt right at home during the meet and greet. Brigit loves to find out every small detail about your pet so she can make sure your pet is treated the exact way they are at home! She sends lots of updates which I appreciate. We have a large breed which involved some strict guidelines and Brigit followed everything so carefully. I HIGHLY recommend her and Robert and will most definitely be booking again! What a wonderful experience, and I didn't feel stressed at all while we were gone. Thank You!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dhanesha! She took excellent care of my dog, Rose, while I was away. From the daily updates with photos to the thoughtful attention to Rose's needs, everything was perfect. Dhanesha is reliable and trustworthy. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pet. I highly recommend Dhanesha to anyone looking for top-notch pet care.”
“Pamesha was a wonderful dog sitter! We left our two beagles in her care while we were away and she kept us fully updated with texts and photos. She responded promptly and took great care of our doggos.”
“Our senior dog recently spent a week with Robyn. She is amazing! Our boy was well cared for and the pictures and descriptions of his days were so appreciated. He looked so happy in every picture! Lots of room to play in her yard and she is very attentive to the dog's individual needs. He is looking forward to staying with Robyn again!”
“Melissa is really warm and welcoming - we left our 11 month old puppy for 5 days. Although we were nervous to leave him, he was well taken care of and we will use Melissa in the future!”
“Heather is the most wonderful dog sitter! She is warm and understanding of our pet’s needs and I cannot say enough about the quality of care that our Willow received from Heather while we were away at a wedding. Willow was well fed, walked, played with and snuggled! We really felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands. Heather sent us updates, photos and even a little video of how Willow was doing and having so much fun playing with her dog Alfie. We are so totally impressed with Heather!”
“If I could give Caitlin 10 stars I would. She took absolutely exceptional care of my dog while I was away, completely exceeds expectations, and truly goes above and beyond. She sends regular picture and video updates by request, and is always responsive to messages, questions, or any concerns you may have. Caitlin is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, friendly, and has a genuine passion for ensuring she takes the proper care of your pet in your absence. You cannot go wrong booking with Caitlin, she is the definition of what a good person is. Thank you so very much again, Rio and I cannot wait to get back and see you!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Hunter! This was his very first time away from our family, so we were naturally a little nervous. Vanessa and Paige went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and loved. They kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, took him swimming, and gave him so much attention and care. When we picked him up, he honestly looked even better than when we dropped him off! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such kind, caring hands while we were away. Thank you so much, Paige and Vanessa, for treating Hunter like one of your own. We will absolutely be booking with you again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Stephan boarded my dog during our vacation and took utmost care towards her throughout our absence. He would send us constant pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend him.”
About: I'm an experienced and hard-working sitter in the Kingston area, offering peace of mind that your home and little ones are well taken care of in your absence. I have lived with animals my entire life. Naturally, I understand you're seeking the best possible care for your little ones, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I've been a Pawshake sitter since February 2019 and have been loving every moment of making so many new four-legged friends! About my services: HOME VISITS consist of one afternoon or evening visit that lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. During this visit, I would feed your pet(s), refresh their water dish, play & socialize with them, clean their litter box, and so on. I'm also happy to water your plants, bring your mail inside and take out garbage/recycling when needed. HOME BOARDING at my spacious, ground-level apartment means that your cat or dog would stay with me and my pets for overnights over an extended period of time. You can rest assured that your feline friends will get tons of pats and cuddles, and that dogs will be walked twice a day with plenty of opportunities to run around the yard in between. All you need to bring is their food, treats, and leash! I also offer HOUSE SITTING. The house sitting option means Birdie, Bowie and I would stay at your residence round the clock, provided I don’t have any bookings for home boarding at the requested time. This service would be ideal for households with both cats and dogs, or for animals who have a harder time adjusting to new environments. My apartment is puppy-proofed, equipped with puppy pads if needed, two litter boxes (scooped daily), and lots of toys, beds, and treats for cats and dogs alike. It's clean and spacious, with big windows for bird-watching. I have a very large, fenced-in yard for tons of extra play time, rain or shine. I have installed pet gates with built-in cat doors throughout the apartment, so cats and small dogs can have their privacy away from the larger guests when I am unable to supervise. About my pets: I have two pets of my own: An easygoing, playful, and extremely dog-savvy black cat named Gigi Luigi (4 years, male, neutered) who loves making new kitty friends, and a flat coat retriever/labradoodle named Bowie (3 years, female, spayed). Both would relish the extra company and have been socialized to respect animals of all shapes and sizes. Both are also up to date on their vaccines. I think that covers it! Thanks for giving my page a gander. I hope to meet you and your little ones soon! ☺️ I do work full-time as a community mental health nurse, but working in the community means I can drop by my home for short visits as many times per day as needed, and spend my lunch break at home every day as well. I take Bowie for 1-2 off leash adventures every day, whether or not I am working. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep yours occupied, and would be taking them on and off leash adventure at least once a day, regardless of whether I work. I also have the flexibility to pop into my home throughout the day on days I do work, so the pups get frequent potty breaks and are never left alone for long stretches.
“Deanna & Scott did a great job caring for my dog while I was away for 10 days. They sent me lots of pictures and were always easy to talk to. I had no worries while I was away which made my trip much more enjoyable.”
About: I grew up with a small family dog as a young child in our family home, and took the leap into adulthood and dog ownership on my own! Porter is a 5.5 year old male neutered bernedoodle. He's super spoiled and rules the house :-) He loves having a playmate around so we thought we'd check out the Rover scene! We have experience looking after our neighbours dogs (Golden retrievers and a yellow lab). I have used Rover as a pet parent for help during vacations, etc. I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy that will follow instructions. We go on 4 walks a day - sometimes more with yard play thrown in. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to allow all the dog care! I'm familiar with medicating dogs, including allergy injections so I can assist with care like that if required. I'm guilty of taking so many pictures of my dog, especially when he has friends visit so please be comforted knowing you will get lots of updates! We live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim and loves pontoon boat rides, they will have one heck of a vacation :-) If you have multi dog family - I'm happy to host them all! Please - no cats. I currently work from home and have lots of time with my flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, enrichment, etc. Porter can adjust to anyone else's schedule to make it easier, or we can do solo walks if that would be your preference. I do not have a fenced yard, but we go on leashed walked at least 4x a day - plus more playtime. Porter is allowed on furniture, so your dog is as well! There are no separate rooms for dogs in my house. He used to be crate trained and so i am familiar with it and can crate your dog if you require it.
“We just picked Kaydee up from her first overnight boarding at Charles and Lori home with their dog Fiona Kaydee is tired but happy, she is 7 months old so we are very happy that Kaydee and Fiona got along so well Charles is very responsive, he sent us pics and videos of Kaydee and Fiona playing We look forward to kaydees upcoming stay with Charles Thank you again”
“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”
“Carli was very accommodating to let our pups meet prior to booking. She also modified our booking closer to the date of our vacation, which was very convenient! Her dogs were great with my little dogs, and they were babied and cared for just like if they were home with me. Thank you Carli and family for a stress-free vacation knowing my babies were cared for!”
“Sol had a wonderful time with Kirti and Yash, we couldn’t have asked for better dogsitters! She was well loved and taken care of, and I got daily updates throughout the month long stay. Thank you SO much! 🥰”
