“Holly stepped in last minute for us and it couldn’t have been a better experience! She sent daily updates and pictures which were very much appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be anxiety producing but she took excellent care of our dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Brigit and Robert took the time to get to know about my dog Ben before his stay. This put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands. They provided frequent updates with pictures. I think Ben enjoyed his stay and I definitely would recommend their sitting services!”
“Ricci is amazing. She adores our Bernedoodle Westley like he is her own, and she’s always taking time to send me pictures, videos and updates. I wouldn’t leave Westley with anyone else!!!”
“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.”
“This was our second time with Heather. The dogs couldn’t wait to get into the house. Heather sends videos and photos of the dogs during the stay. We were delayed on our return and Heather accommodated us. Thank you for your understanding Heather. Heathers sweet little dog is a wonderful hostess. Heather is my first choice for dog care. Thank you Heather for welcoming and caring for our dogs.”
“Pamesha took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 7 days. She sent me updates daily and our dog seemed very happy when we picked him up. We look forward to having Pamesha care for our dog if we go away again. Thank you, Pamesha, for treating our dog like your own!”
“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.”
“Stephen, Holly, and their family were wonderful hosts for our puppy, Cedar! This was Cedar’s first overnight stay away from us, and we came home to a happy, healthy, and tired pup. We really appreciated the photo updates, prompt communication, reliability, and their willingness to care for a high energy 6.5 month old puppy. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future!”
“Robyn was an excellent fit for my dog Maple. She asked all the right questions prior, meet and greet left me feeling very comfortable and confident with her. She sometimes houses multiple dogs so ensuring Maple was a good fit and is good with other dogs took any concerns I had away - she is very diligent with screening to ensure everyone is happy, safe and comfortable. She kept me updated on Maple throughout her stay and responded quickly to any messages I sent. I'd rebook with her without a second thought about it. Thanks Robyn!”
“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!!”
“Brynn and her boys took amazing care of Sophie when we where away. It was like she was home and happy. She loved her time there and i know she will go back in a heart beat. :)”
“Melissa was so lovely to deal with and she took amazing care of my June. It felt like I was leaving my dog to stay with friends, and I never once worried about her! Thanks to Melissa & and her sweet daughter for taking June into your hone and treating her like she was your own!!”
“Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
“Ana was wonderful. It was the first time we left our Korra with someone outside the family. Korra immediately took a liking to Ana (during the introductory walk). Ana was very easy to coordinate with and she sent photos and messages every day. Korra was well taken care of and clearly very happy. She also made friends with Ana's cat Ellie. We won't hesitate to ask Ana to dog sit next time.”
“As always, Tucker is in excellent care and loves coming here for play dates and more love. As Golden owners they understand the “love affair” these dogs have with their people.”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Charlee and Max stayed with Arshpreet and her family for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We received regular updates throughout their stay, including photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were in good, trustworthy care. Highly recommend & will certainly book again.”

“Treena was a pleasure to have taking care of my cats. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about the process, but Treena was helpful with answering questions, providing insight, and clearly communicating. Treena was on time, took great pictures, and charted feedback appropriately (which was helpful for someone anxious like me, who always wonders how my much-loved pets are when I'm away). She offered to go above and beyond what was asked of her and kept the place neat. Treena was an excellent cat-sitter, and we will indeed book with her again!”
“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. Myriam was also very professional in her approach to the assignment making sure visits were timely, and really went all out to leave things clean and tidy I will highly recommend Myriam to others an my own future use. Thanks Myriam”
“Mary took great care of my older cat! She was easy to communicate with, gave helpful updates, and I appreciated her comfort with giving medications. Altogether lovely to work with! Would book again if I needed to :)”
“Britney was great with our cats! She was quick to communicate and kept us updated during her visits. We loved all the photos she sent and would absolutely trust her again with our babies.”
“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.”
“Peter was amazing with my cat. Very prompt in communicating with me and even offered to do more for me like shovel my front step since I was away during some nasty snow storms! I highly recommend him as I certainly will use him again.”

“Excellent cat caregiver. Alyce listened to all our cat care instructions and provided great support. All our 3 cats are very fond of her, even our reserved ragdoll. Alyce communicated quickly after each visit and sent us many pictures of our happy house lions.”
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.
“Susan is beyond good. She seems to know what cats like! Our cat Earline was very happy from the multiple pictures she provided and we couldn't be happier that Earline was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“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: 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.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for neighbours, friends, and family, for over six years and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet company, I’m happy to care for them in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime or affection if they enjoy it, and a calm, stress-free environment while you’re away. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I treat every cat as if they were my own and strive to make each visit a positive experience for both you and your pet.
“Tuesday is lovely. I had her drop in on my two cats for several days. She took great care to ensure their comfort and sent some really wonderful photo updates. I'll definitely hire Tuesday again. I highly recommend her.”
“Georgia was amazing! She came to our house before we went away to do a meet-and-greet and learn a little bit about our cat, which was really great. Georgia was communicative, kind, and took great care of our little guy. We would highly recommend Georgia!”
“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!”

“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!”
“Harvey had the best time with Daniel! He was so attentive, kind and he definitely tuckered him out with all the adventures they had! I also appreciated all the updates and photos, I could tell my little guy was having the best time!”
About: RELIABLE AND CARING PET SERVICES: I have 6+ years of veterinary assistant experience and 2+ years of safety-focused dog-walking from volunteering at the local humane society. I love dogs of any size or breed, and have experience with cats and most farm animals, as well. I would love to help with any kind of pet care you may require! I have extensive experience with administering medications and monitoring conditions, so I would be comfortable caring for older, sick, or special needs’ dogs, as well as dogs of any kind of temperament. I am familiar with basic training concepts and able to reinforce current practices to help meet goals while in my care. My family dog, Finn, is a very high-energy Irish Setter, so I can also accommodate and enjoy spending time with dogs of all energy levels! I am comfortable and happy providing 2+ hours of outdoor exercise in hiking environments (on-leash) if you are comfortable with me transporting your pet in my SUV vehicle. My compressed work schedule allows plenty of time for attentive pet- and house-sitting to keep your furry family members happy and entertained - please see my ongoing availability! I am able to follow all preferred pet owner protocols diligently. I am aware of the importance of safe food and substance storage, as well as monitoring for normal bodily functions and detecting common signs of distress which may require medical attention.
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Walelign. Mimi was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the constant communication, we always received quick and thoughtful updates whenever we reached out. Mimi came back calm and happy, which means a lot to us. She is usually quite anxious around new people, but she didn’t show any signs of stress this time and didn’t cry at all. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable. Walelign truly went above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would absolutely trust him again and feel confident leaving Mimi in his care. Thank you so much!”
About: For over 3 decades, I have been providing high quality care to extended fur family, as well as to those of our friends and neighbors who have been generous enough to lend me some of their pets' time. From big dogs to small dogs, young dogs to old dogs, our single-family detached home and fully fenced yard is sure to provide a warm and comfortable environment for your well-natured, and good-with-kids pup. I work from home 3 weekdays days out of 5, and can come home for lunch on those 2 days where I have to be in the office to let your pup out and provide food and water. Long walks, lots of fetch, and plenty of pictures are in store if you choose to trust our family with your fur babies. We have one family dog already, a 5-year old pug named George, who has shown himself to be very good with other dogs, both big and small. We take long walks around the neighborhood, stopping to say high to other dogs and their owners. We also occasionnaly go to the dog park Kingston East, or sometimes further afield for beach days or hikes on local trails or conservation areas. Our pug naturally sleeps on the bed with us (we couldn't stop him if we tried), so we'db be delighted to extend your dog the same courtesy. They'd become a part of the family.
“Our dog took to Peter right away! Steeler had a blast playing with Peter’s dog and we were entirely comfortable with Peter’s care for a day. He was flexible and responsive too. No hesitations to recommend his services.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“She was phenomenal with my babies. Gave the kitties space to feel comfortable, and loved on my friendly pup from the start. She kept me updated, and asked questions without spamming me at work. She took the job with 2 days notice and was incredibly understanding when I was running late. I cannot suggest Katherine enough.”
About: Dear pawrents, I have taken care of dogs since I have memory. When I was born, a beautiful German shepherd was brought home and we grew up together, since then, my love for dogs (and all animals) is inexplicable. I have taken care of my own dogs (Belgian and German shepherd, lab, schnauzer, dachshund, mixed, etc.). I have taken care of senior dogs with different needs (medication, carrying them to walk, etc.) and some dogs with diseases such as chronic seizures, cancer and arthritis. As a pet owner myself, I totally get it! Our pets aren't just pets, they're family. And that's why I'm on a mission to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. I'm currently working in a remote (work from home) position, so I have availability to take care of your puppy/ies during the day. I’m available for boarding during the weekends with some breaks in between so I can take care of my own dogs. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets while respecting the routines and preferences set by the owners. Here's how I typically approach it: - Initial Consultation: I start by scheduling an initial consultation with the owners to discuss their dog's needs, routines, feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific instructions or preferences they may have. - Visits: During my visits, I ensure that the dogs have access to food, water, and a clean environment. I follow their feeding schedule and provide any necessary medications or supplements as instructed by the owners. - Exercise and Playtime: I engage the dogs in regular exercise and playtime sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could include walks, play sessions in the backyard, or games indoors (depending on the weather). - Potty Breaks: I take the dogs out for regular potty breaks according to their usual schedule, ensuring that they are comfortable and their living space remains clean. - Updates and Communication: Throughout my time with the dog(s), I maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. - Security and Safety: I take measures to ensure the security and safety of the home, such as checking that doors and windows are securely locked and being mindful of any potential hazards in the environment. Overall, my goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to dogs in their own familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
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.
“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: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. We have a fully fenced yard and a spacious home where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or simply lounging and getting plenty of affection, I'll tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for families while they're at work or away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet's regular routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious, pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I always follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, and I provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“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: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised. I recently retired and I am looking for ways to stay active and dog walking is an activity that I enjoy. We currently have our own dog and he loves companions when appropriate. If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.
About: I currently walk and watch my friends dog. It is a pleasure I always look forward to and to spend time with him. I do not have a dog at the moment but I used to before he passed. Growing up we had cats in our household. I mostly enjoy taking dogs out for walks, playing with them and spending time with them. I enjoy being around animals, it makes my day that much better! I am full of energy myself so I am able to match that of your pets! Getting your dogs energy out, I can do that! I am new to this program but not new to taking care of dogs and cats. I am very enthusiastic about this program and want to help others out. Working from home I have the flexibility to fit in primarily dog walking throughout the day. That also gets me out and off the the computer for a break! I will listen to the clients needs and wants and provide the care for their pet that they want. I am here to help out.
About: I provide safe, patient, and loving care for pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on reliability, clear communication, and gentle handling. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable attention and flexible care based on each pet’s specific needs and routine. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior, and provide gentle supervision at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain routines, and ensure pets receive attentive, trustworthy care.

“Maya has been such a reliable support for our pup. She shares fun pics and our pup loves when she comes. She adjusts and takes our guy for walks in the shade when needed. She is quick to respond. She has been a great help and we feel lucky to have her support.”
“Peter is amazing with my little rescue beagle Spud. Spud loves Peter and is so happy when he comes to take him for his walks. We’re both so grateful to have him as our walker this summer, he is awesome :)”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and caring for her has taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, enrichment, patience, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re apart. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing. As a Queen’s University student with most of my classes online, I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, enrichment, fresh food and water, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and will always respect both your home and your pet’s routine. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.
“Terra-Lee, is a major life-saver! I recently moved to Kingston and in the middle of moving-in, organizing, and new job orientation. Terra-Lee was able to help me on such short notice with Marco. I sincerely appreciate”
“Myriam is a very reliable, punctual, kind and caring person who loves our pups and ensures they get some valuable time outside for a break and exercise while we work long hours away from home. We love and appreciate having her help us help our dogs who we care deeply for and it is nice to have someone who feels the same. Thank you Myriam! We look forward to continuing scheduled walks for our dogs with your support!”
“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”
“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.”
“Janet was peace of mind personified. I would absolutely rehire her. I highly recommend that if you have a dog you adore that you book her to walk them. She was very kind and patient with our teenage-aged golden retriever and provided numerous photos and detailed updates. Thank you Janet for doting on our sweet Olive!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a young child. Growing up in an environment full of animals has taught me great responsibility and the importance of following owner instructions and ensuring animal safety. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and three cats until their old age. Then I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog, three more cats, and a German Shepherd. Cash, our German Shepherd, is 11 years old and thriving, and he lives a privileged life with his sister, a calico cat named Krissy, who is 16. As someone who leaves detailed instructions on how to care for Cash and Krissy, I understand and respect the rules that owners have for their fur babies, as they are not suggestions but rules to keep their pets safe. And I intend to do just that, while making sure they are happy. I am a student in Kingston near Portsmouth Village and available most mornings, evenings, and on weekends when I do not have classes (excluding Thursdays). In Client Home: I follow the pet's existing schedule, including walks and feeding. I make sure that all hazards are removed and appropriate doors are locked/closed to ensure the pet is safe. I also make sure that the environment is clean, including litter boxes and waste bags, for the pet's safety and to respect the owner's home.
“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: I have loved and worked with animals for over 10 years and am passionate about helping animals find safe, loving homes. As a foster parent with the Kingston Humane Society, I have helped care for and place many cats into their forever homes. I have experience working with cats with specific medical and behavioural needs, including overweight cats, senior cats, and cats recovering from dental procedures and surgeries. I have also worked with local humane societies to help raise funds for spay and neuter programs and have worked to support adoption efforts within the community! I have all a cat would need at my place! All you need to do is bring your kitty. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, or quiet alone time depending on their needs and personality. I always try to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With cats especially, I usually let them come to me first instead of forcing interaction since every cat is different. If they want attention and cuddles, I’m happy to give them lots of love, but if they’d rather have their own space, that’s totally okay too. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible and make sure they have a calm, clean, and low-stress environment. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a lot of shy, senior, and special-needs cats, so I’ve learned how important patience and trust are when caring for animals.
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!

I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet's regular routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious, pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I always follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, and I provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Both my pets and I love Mary. My pup is getting older and Mary was more than comfortable carrying her up the stairs during her visit and had zero hesitation with the other animals in my home. She was very responsive and sends the cutest photos of her time caring for my pets. From my little zoo, we thank you again!💗 🐶🐱🐰”
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.

“Brigit and Robert took the time to get to know about my dog Ben before his stay. This put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands. They provided frequent updates with pictures. I think Ben enjoyed his stay and I definitely would recommend their sitting services!”
“This was our second time with Heather. The dogs couldn’t wait to get into the house. Heather sends videos and photos of the dogs during the stay. We were delayed on our return and Heather accommodated us. Thank you for your understanding Heather. Heathers sweet little dog is a wonderful hostess. Heather is my first choice for dog care. Thank you Heather for welcoming and caring for our dogs.”
“Pamesha took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 7 days. She sent me updates daily and our dog seemed very happy when we picked him up. We look forward to having Pamesha care for our dog if we go away again. Thank you, Pamesha, for treating our dog like your own!”
“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.”
“Stephen, Holly, and their family were wonderful hosts for our puppy, Cedar! This was Cedar’s first overnight stay away from us, and we came home to a happy, healthy, and tired pup. We really appreciated the photo updates, prompt communication, reliability, and their willingness to care for a high energy 6.5 month old puppy. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future!”
“Robyn was an excellent fit for my dog Maple. She asked all the right questions prior, meet and greet left me feeling very comfortable and confident with her. She sometimes houses multiple dogs so ensuring Maple was a good fit and is good with other dogs took any concerns I had away - she is very diligent with screening to ensure everyone is happy, safe and comfortable. She kept me updated on Maple throughout her stay and responded quickly to any messages I sent. I'd rebook with her without a second thought about it. Thanks Robyn!”
“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!!”

“As always, Tucker is in excellent care and loves coming here for play dates and more love. As Golden owners they understand the “love affair” these dogs have with their people.”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“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!”
