“Molly took such great care of our elderly dachshund. We received updates and adorable photos, our pup was treated like a member of the family and taken out on excursions, and was in good spirits when we arrived home after our 5 day trip. Molly's home was clean, welcoming and with a fenced yard with no escape routes :) We have already booked our next sitting date with Molly, highly recommend!”
“Caitlin was so good with our big dog. She provided updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking good care of Miles! We will contact Caitlin again when we come back to the Kingston area (or anywhere East Ontario). 😁”
“Rebel, our two year old golden doodle, happily stayed with Brigit and Rob while we travelled for 1.5 weeks. We enjoyed seeing the daily pictures of Rebel enjoying interesting walks, playtime and snuggles. He was obviously very well taken care of. Thanks Brigit and Rob!”
“Brynn did a great job looking after our little guy while we were out of town. We also really appreciated the photo updates showing just how much fun he was having during his stay! 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter. Their dog, Fiona, is also very friendly and well trained. Charles also update in the middle of the sitting time. I can see Lucy had a good time with the host family. Strongly recommended!”
“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.”
“Christine was excellent with our dog, Shadow. She was very accommodating with our last minute booking and very easy to communicate with. The pictures she sent were great too. We would definitely recommend her as she absolutely loves dogs. Thanks again and I think Shadow loved her overnight adventure at your home, Christine”
“Carli got back to us right away, was available at short notice, and sent photos during our dog's stay with her. Her and her family took good care of our dog and he enjoyed his stay with them.”
“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.”
“Dhanesha and her partner did a fabulous job boarding my dog Jax. He was given lots of cuddles and playtime. Lots of pictures were sent during his visit. I highly recommend!”
“Words can not justly express how grateful I am to Stephen and Holly. The care they provided Saul during my extended time away was beyond extraordinary. It was not an easy time with harsh winter conditions but they ensured Saul was provided several walks a day as well as regular visits to dog parks for him to run and play. Saul is full of energy and very playful for being 13 months old so I’m sure it wasn’t always easy to meet his demands yet Stephen and Holly did. They treated him like a member of their family. They always send pictures of Saul keeping me posted of his activities. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Saul and family members when he would be resting near and in the arms of their family. I have to say I believe Saul is missing them and their dog George his new adopted family. I would not think of ever leaving Saul with anybody other than Stephen and Holly. You will not be disappointed.”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only was she transparent but you can tell she loves her guests like her own. Bowie and Yuki were well taken care of and most definitely enjoyed their stay. Will definitely book again with her if needed, thank you Melissa! ❤️”

“Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊”
About: I've helped raise barn cats, helped a new cat momma withthe birth of her litter, friends and acquaintances frequently request that I visit their cats while away and I have my very own little princess named Missy and she's a great companion.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and my absolute favorite thing to do is train them and play with them! Over the years, I naturally became the go-to dog sitter for friends and coworkers because of my bubbly personality and the way dogs respond to me. I’ve had the joy of caring for over 10 different dogs, each with their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s keeping a playful pup entertained, working on training, or giving extra love to senior dogs, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Spending time with dogs is one of the highlights of my day! I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine… it never feels like “work” to me. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to adjust my days around pet care, whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and always make time for in my week. When I walk or drop in on your dog, their safety and well-being are always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and keep a close eye on your dog to make sure they’re safe at all times. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, or routines so your dog stays comfortable and cared for just like they would with you. Along with exercise and play, I make sure they have fresh water and are settled before I leave. You can trust that your dog will always be in responsible and caring hands.
“Jess offered us tremendous peace of mind during eight days away from home. She immediately bonded with our cats and we could tell from their expectations of us when we got home that she gave them oodles of play and attention. Jess was extremely communicative and helped us keep in touch with our three kitties on a daily basis.”
About: I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications with detailed instruction’s. cleaning litter boxes and providing plenty of playtime, and affection. Safety is always my top priority.
About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life. I love all animals and staying active and can schedule a regular dog walking or house/pet sitting :) Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise, and I keep their space clean. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy spending time with animals. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, provide companionship, keep them engaged with play and activities, and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I also communicate regularly with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.
“Kelly understood and took care of an elderly cat’s needs so well, including lots of medications. She sent lovely updates and photos so I got to see just how happy Mr Mae was. She was kind, professional and an all-round pleasure. Thanks so much Kelly!”
About: Absolutely! Here's the same question answered specifically from the perspective of an experienced **cat sitter**: --- I have over 5 years of experience as a cat sitter and currently have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the unique behaviours, needs, and personalities of feline companions. What sets me apart is my deep patience and intuitive approach to building trust with cats, especially those who are shy, territorial, or take time to warm up to new people. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who may need medication, special diets, or gentle handling. I’m confident with administering oral medications, grooming long-haired breeds, managing litter boxes, and providing enrichment through play and stimulation. I also have experience with multi-cat households and understand the importance of maintaining routines, respecting boundaries, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I keep pet parents updated with daily photos and detailed reports, and I always treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, respect, and a calm, reassuring presence.

“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!”

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: 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.

“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!”
“Charles took amazing care of Mario! When we picked him up, Mario was happily tired out after all the playing. We were visiting Gananoque on a trip, and it was such a relief to have Charles look after him while we went on a cruise.”
“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.”
“Luke was great with Cow! She immediately started playing with her toys with him and that’s a rare occurrence with strangers. She was pooped after a day of walks with him and it was nice to know that she could get some exercise and some couch cuddles, the perfect balance for her. Luke was keen to oblige to all the picky requirements that a chihuahua has. 20/10 would leave Cow with Luke again! Thanks for being flexible with booking and for taking good care of her!”
“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: 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: 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.

“Caitlin was so good with our big dog. She provided updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking good care of Miles! We will contact Caitlin again when we come back to the Kingston area (or anywhere East Ontario). 😁”
“Rebel, our two year old golden doodle, happily stayed with Brigit and Rob while we travelled for 1.5 weeks. We enjoyed seeing the daily pictures of Rebel enjoying interesting walks, playtime and snuggles. He was obviously very well taken care of. Thanks Brigit and Rob!”
“Brynn did a great job looking after our little guy while we were out of town. We also really appreciated the photo updates showing just how much fun he was having during his stay! 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter. Their dog, Fiona, is also very friendly and well trained. Charles also update in the middle of the sitting time. I can see Lucy had a good time with the host family. Strongly recommended!”
“Carli got back to us right away, was available at short notice, and sent photos during our dog's stay with her. Her and her family took good care of our dog and he enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Dhanesha and her partner did a fabulous job boarding my dog Jax. He was given lots of cuddles and playtime. Lots of pictures were sent during his visit. I highly recommend!”
“Words can not justly express how grateful I am to Stephen and Holly. The care they provided Saul during my extended time away was beyond extraordinary. It was not an easy time with harsh winter conditions but they ensured Saul was provided several walks a day as well as regular visits to dog parks for him to run and play. Saul is full of energy and very playful for being 13 months old so I’m sure it wasn’t always easy to meet his demands yet Stephen and Holly did. They treated him like a member of their family. They always send pictures of Saul keeping me posted of his activities. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Saul and family members when he would be resting near and in the arms of their family. I have to say I believe Saul is missing them and their dog George his new adopted family. I would not think of ever leaving Saul with anybody other than Stephen and Holly. You will not be disappointed.”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only was she transparent but you can tell she loves her guests like her own. Bowie and Yuki were well taken care of and most definitely enjoyed their stay. Will definitely book again with her if needed, thank you Melissa! ❤️”
“Josephine recently took care of my 2 standard poodles - 12 years old and 4 years old. The 4 year old was rehomed to me a year ago and is a challenging dog. Josephine was just fantastic with both of them - taking care of the 12 year old's mobility issues and making sure the 4 year old was exercised and entertained. It was so clear from the photos Josephine sent that both pups were having a grand time and we have already booked their next stay!”
