“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”

About: I have owned dogs for over 30 years and am a true dog lover. Being retired allows me to provide full-time, attentive care, patience, and companionship for every dog. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully devoted to your dog’s care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, with plenty of time for walks, companionship, play, and attention throughout the day. I provide daily walks, plenty of playtime, scratches, belly rubs, and constant attention. Your dog will receive lots of love, companionship, and calm, full-time care in a safe, comfortable environment.

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

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Shraddha and Chinmay! From the moment we dropped off our pup, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. It was clear right away that Shraddha and her family treat dogs like part of the family. Bruno had an amazing time staying with them and absolutely loved being around their adorable doodle — the two became friends pretty quick! It was such a relief to know that our pup wasn’t just being looked after, but was actually having fun, playing, and getting tons of attention and affection. We received regular updates and photos, which made us smile and feel so reassured while we were away. It truly felt like a home away from home for our pup. I wholeheartedly recommend Shraddha and Chinmay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.

“I cannot recommend Uncle Roy highly enough! Since moving to Canada, this is the first time I have truly felt that someone caring for Vandy has both the genuine compassion and the experience needed to look after him. From our very first meet-and-greet, Uncle Roy impressed me with how thoughtfully he asked about Vandy's habits, daily routines, preferences, medications, special needs, and house rules. He genuinely wanted to understand Vandy before taking responsibility for him. Uncle Roy has a wonderful combination of physical strength, extensive experience with dogs, and a very big heart. He knows how to handle Vandy confidently while also being patient and understanding when Vandy feels restless or misses his mom. What I especially appreciate is that Uncle Roy doesn't just care for dogs, he understands them. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and I actually learned new things about Vandy from him! For the first time in a long while, I could focus on my work with complete peace of mind, knowing Vandy was in loving and capable hands. And most importantly, Vandy really loved his time with Uncle Roy! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved dog.”

About: Hi! I’m Leah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my two dogs, Winston and Dakota. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel safe, comfortable and confident. My experience goes beyond everyday pet ownership. Growing up, I volunteered with the Oakville Humane Society, where I gained experience around animals with different personalities and needs. I also spent several years volunteering with Frontline K9 Manitoba, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, assisting with basic animal health needs, and supporting rescue and apprehension efforts. One of my greatest learning experiences has been my own dog, Dakota. Dakota is a rescue with a history of dog reactivity, which led me to invest extensively in professional training and learn as much as possible about canine behaviour, body language, triggers and safe handling. I’ve worked closely with trainers and completed multiple training programs with her, giving me hands-on experience managing and supporting a dog with more complex behavioural needs. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, including loose-leash walking, calm and structured walks, polite greetings, jumping, impulse control, basic cues and confidence building. I understand the importance of consistency and will always follow the methods, commands and boundaries you use with your dog. I’m especially understanding of reactive, anxious or sensitive dogs. I know that sometimes a successful walk means creating distance, changing routes, avoiding a trigger or simply giving a dog the time and space they need to feel safe. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt my care to their personality, routine and needs. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, positive and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely understands dogs. Flexible remote work schedule in social work and k9 training. Schedule can vary however I can accommodate whenever I am able! Thank you and talk soon! I am happy to provide care in my home. Willing to follow your typical routines / structure. We can chat beforehand to make a plan.

About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! Minor note: extended travel (over 30minute drive), adds the full hour fee for drop ins and walks to account for the kms. I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.

About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.

About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

About: I love and adore animals. I have two cockapoos. One is 11 years old and one is almost 3! One day, I like to own a sanctuary and rescue animals that are in need. I am loving and caring and treat all animals like family. I work from home, so have the ability to provide frequent potty breaks, if need be, and I take mini breaks to play with my doggies. Fetch, a short walk, tricks or treats and lots of cuddles - not because it's for them, it is actually for me to get some comforting cuddles! ;) Anway, give me a try and you can judge for yourself or the fur babies can! Prior to accepting to dog board/dog sit/dog walk, I/we like to do a meet and greet, just to ensure that our lovely pets can get along, as we would hate to cause any unwanted harm for either pets. I am communicative, and will keep you in the loop during your time away. Every parent is different, and every pet is different, so I will ensure to care for your pet with the needs he/she each requires, and not to mention, lots of photos! You will feel comfortable and worry free when your pet is with me! *I care for the dogs based on your special instructions, respect the dog's boundaires and what it is acceptable". I work from home. Can care for your pet doggy during the day, evening or overnight if need be. Just need ample notice, as per my request. Pets roam free in our own. They are only restricted or limited depending on the instructions given by the owner. Transparency and communication is key.

About: We’re a dog loving family of four with pugs and a St. Bernese! Our kids love all dogs and can’t wait to give cuddles and snuggles to all their new friends! I am a recess and lunch supervisor at school so I only work 40 minutes two times a day! I'm home a lot to give your dog(s) plenty of playtime and attention! We have a big backyard and I always supervise the dogs when they are out for their playtime! We also have a big front yard where I do short leash walks and live on a quiet gravel road for much longer leash walks. Dogs can be crated at night if that's the usual routine, or have their choice of beds to sleep in - my kids LOVE when dogs choose to cuddle with them at night!

About: Whether your big dog needs to burn some energy on a long walk, or your little furry friend needs a quick trip outside and some couch cuddles. I’m here to help! I grew up around dogs. Over the years my family has had Cocker Spaniels, Chocolate Labs, Weimaraners, and even a Great Dane! Seven years ago I adopted a Mini Dachshund full of love, and stubbornness, who taught me the importance of proper training! Last year when she suffered an IVDD set back. I learnt about a whole new level of care, from bladder expression to wheelchair use. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to keep your dogs happy and healthy! I work as a freelance writer, so have an amazingly flexible schedule that will allow me to find the perfect time to come hag out with your pet! Primarily looking to come drop in or take your dog for a walk in your neighbourhood. But I do I live on a large farm with over a km of walking trails if you want me to pick them up and take them on a outdoor adventure! I have a special needs dog, but if your dogs temperament is the right fit. I’d be happy to have them in my home for day care or overnights.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals. My family currently has 2 cats and one pug. I usually feed and walk the dog. There is lots of room for play time and walks! We have a fenced yard. *Update* Our beloved pug, Milo, who is seen in my profile pictures, has recently passed away on June 3rd, so it’s been quite devastating. His passing really prompted me to do more Rover gigs because I miss having a doggo around.. Currently, I work from home, so i’m available anytime! I mainly do many house sittings, and can offer lots of love and cuddles before, during and after work. Rest assured your pet, they would be spoiled with love and so much affection.. I have a spacious home. The home has a large fenced yard for your doggo to play with no issues: I am also pretty flexible and can stay at your place, just so your fur baby is comfy. We can most definitely accommodate to dogs, since we are in a backsplit home, with a fenced yard. I have a cat named Niko. Niko is pretty good with other dogs, as Milo lived with us. He mostly hangout in the basement, where it is cooler and also he is very shy and timid and prefers that.

“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”

About: I will try to accommodate your every need. I love dogs and think they should be treated as family. Big or small. If your dog loves the outdoors or just snuggling on the couch I can do it. I try to spend as much time outside as possible so your furry friend has a lot of exercise. Rain or shine your dog will go for multiple walks. And if your pet needs a bath I will provide them with a bath. If you have any special shampoo I will need you to let me know. Any special food or nutritional needs I would require a list. If your pet can’t have treats I will need to be told. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to text or email to let me know. I am currently a stay at home mom. I love keeping myself busy with my pets and taking care of others pets needs. I love being busy and active. I can accommodate your pets needs if they are over whelmed with the situation I can put them in there safe space “crate” or if your pet would prefer a room of their own I can accommodate that. No stress and all positive here.
