“My dog LOVED Paige. As an Australian Shepherd owner, I worried about where to board my dog that she would get enough exercise and attention. After seeing Paige’s great reviews from other people, I decided to reach out. I’m so happy I did!! When we returned from our vacation, my dog was tired, happy, and well cared for. Paige kept me updated throughout the time that I was away, sending pictures of their adventures together. I highly recommend Paige.”
“I needed to find a sitter for my Maltese dog Lily while I was away on vacation for a week. I was worried because I had never left Lily overnight with anyone who was not family or friends. Lynda was amazing and she treated Lily like part of her family. Her three little dogs are adorable and were lovely companions for Lily. We arranged a meet and greet at Lynda’s home beforehand on short notice and I knew right away Lily would be loved and well taken care of. I received regular updates with pictures and videos and Lynda was very fast to reply to all my messages. Lynda has a lovely home that’s well equipped for dog sitting and I totally felt at ease leaving Lily with her. Lily even received a gift bag and follow-up message afterwards. Thank you Lynda for doing such a wonderful job caring for her.”
“Nicole and Eddie went above and beyond for our dog Teddy. They took great care of him and made sure we had lots of photos and videos. Looking forward to the next time Teddy gets to stay!”
“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”
“Dash just loves being with Tanya and her family including all her friendly dogs. Tanya keeps was updated with lots of photos, let pur dog be a part of her faimily and it shows when he meets her or he is about to leave them. We are actually very thankful to finally find someone who loves Dash as much does them.”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“I worried my sweet little Golden Retriever would feel abandoned and anxious in a stranger's house. She took to Danielle immediately on first meeting. Wasn't anxious when I left. By all reports, she really enjoyed her time with Danielle and Mat in their home and spacious backyard. Their affection for animals shines through. When I picked her up, Willow was happy to see us but not so much as if relieved. She roamed the property like it was hers. It was obvious she had as much a vacation as we did.”
“We had a great experience with Manali. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her.”
“Excellent service for us and my tiny pup. Joanna is very kind and caring for the dog and was very responsive when planning and answering questions. Awesome experience.”
“After having read such excellent reviews of Madeline and Ryan, we felt completely assured to leave our 2 year old dog with them. And they turned out to be exactly as the reviews said (excellent). Given our dog is quite timid in nature, we appreciate the patience and understanding that both Madeline and Ryan showed. We also appreciate the honest feedback that helped us learn about it our little one’s personality outside our home. We would definitely return to them in future.”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“While I considerd "not dead or missing" to be successful for an online pet boarding service, our dog settled in quickly and seemed sad to part ways with her new friends at the end of the week. April also helped to manage a bit of an upset stomach and allergies through her visit which inspires confidence.”
“We left our Boston terrier Oscar with Miaozi for almost two weeks. Starting from meet and greet we absolutely love to find such a great caring and loving sitter! Honestly, it was like leaving your pet with a very long known friend or family member. Absolutely trustable and responsible, very punctual. And the most important - you feel safe and confident your pet is staying with a loving friend while you’re so faraway. I highly recommend Miaozi to anyone looking for a great sitter for your furry baby.”
“Absolutely wonderful care for our dog Bella!!! Laura goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of as Laura loves dogs and making sure they are well treated and taken care of!!! Her family also has the same values of care for pets and makes sure your pet feels at home!!!”
“Wonderful place to leave your dog. We met Jason and his dogs and they were all just the nicest. Their place is very dog friendly, the yard is well fenced in, and our dog seemed really happy being there. Would definitely have them take care of our dog again.”

“Taylor did a great job dropping in to look after my cats over a couple of days. Being able to pay special attention to each of their behaviours and needs is much appreciated. I'm sure we'll become a repeat client!”
“Our dogs loved having her drop in. She was always on time and stayed for the full length of the drop in. Our dogs instantly gravitated to her as she gave them lots of pets and love. We were very comfortable having her drop in while we were away and would hire her again. Definitely recommended.”
“Elizabeth was an excellent pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. She communicated clearly and consistently, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was kind and thoughtful with both our family and our cat, and it was obvious our pet was in great hands. She also stepped in to help us out of a last-minute jam, which we truly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Mckinna was excellent. We had her house/cat sit and when we came home the house was in order and she left a beautiful card and framed drawing of our babies. She would send updates during our vacation and we came home to some very happy and well taken care of kitties. We would recommend her services.”
About: I've been a cat lover and owner for over 20 years. I love having dogs in our home, playing and taking walks in our local neighborhood. I work from home full time and would love extra company. I'm looking to gain more hands on experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly cats. A large house that is warm and loving. Live close to parks for walks and exploring.
About: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is the level of care, attention, and dedication I bring to every feline I look after. I have hands-on experience with cats that require specialized care, including my mom’s cat, whom I cared for after eye surgery—administering medications, monitoring recovery, and ensuring a calm environment for healing. I’m meticulous when it comes to hygiene and comfort, and I actually enjoy deep-cleaning cat areas, litter boxes, and accessories to keep everything fresh and safe for the cats in my care. Over a six-month period, I successfully took care of a friend’s six cats, balancing different personalities and needs while maintaining a happy and healthy environment. On top of that, I have two hairless cats of my own, which means I’m well-versed in the extra attention and maintenance they require, such as regular bathing, skincare, and temperature regulation. My experience with both everyday care and special needs makes me a reliable, attentive, and exceptionally thorough cat sitter.
About: While I haven’t worked with cats professionally, I’ve always loved them. I regularly spend time with my brother’s cat, who I help care for when he’s away. I’m familiar with the independent nature of cats, and I enjoy bonding with them through play, quiet companionship, and respecting their space. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well looked after in your absence.
About: I have had and cared for animals for my entire life. Friends and family have entrusted me with their animals as well. Pets are considered family.

Pet care is my sole income. Therefore, I am available Sunday-Saturday. I am available any time throughout the day as well as nights if needed. I have a far sized non-fenced yard with long cables if needed. As well as, 2 dog friends to keep your pet company and tire them out. I can walk, feed, play, and do basic training at my home as well as yours.

“Wonderful home to bring your pups to! The warmest couple that treated my dog Sunnie just as if she was their own. The property is beautiful and perfect for country living and a safe sanctuary for any pet. Sunnie came home happy and I will not hesitate to bring Sunnie back soon for another visit.

“5+ stars to Ashley for her love and care with our Fergus!! Her home and yard were so welcoming for our pup, and it was evident that he had a great time there. We received lots of photos in the few short hours that he was in her care. And, following the visit, Ashley sent us a sweet video compilation of all the fun, activity and nap time that was had during Fergus stay ❤️. We will definitely choose Ashley for our future pup-sitting needs 👍. Thank you, Ashley!”

“I returned to Jacqueline and Jamie for a day of daycare for my dog this weekend, following an incredibly positive longer stay in the past. Jacqueline and Jamie's genuine care and attention made my dog feel right at home, ensuring a day full of play and fun. It's clear they pour their hearts into what they do, creating a loving environment for all pets. My dog came back so happily exhausted that he fell asleep immediately and was still catching up on rest the next day! :) It’s comforting to know there’s such a caring and trustworthy place for him. I can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”

“Laura es divina, y mi pupi ha estado como en casa. Mi perrita es muy viejita (tiene unos 15 años) y ha quedado ciega, por lo tanto no nos gusta dejarla muchas horas solas. Laura se ha encargado de ella durante todo el día, la ha llevado al parque y estuvo informandonos de Pupi constantemente. La recomiendo 100% y seguramente repetiremos. Gracias!”

“I can't recommend Hannah enough. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent—she was always responsive, reliable, and kept me informed every step of the way. What stood out most was the genuine kindness and care she showed toward my dog. It was clear that she paid close attention to her needs and treated her as if she were her own. Knowing my dog was in such attentive and capable hands gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages she sent. They allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly exceptional, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. I have often had more than 1 at a time and can’t imagine life without a fur baby. There truly is nothing like doggie love 💜. Friends and family know they can depend on me to care for their pets as if they were my own. Dogs seem to instinctively know that I am a sucker for a fur face. I am truly excited to have made a career change that will allow me to embrace my passion for pets. I work part time ( mostly from home). I am flexible as I schedule my own hours and can work around any special requirements you may have. I live in a rural area with a large yard. I usually go out walking with my dogs for an hour in the morning and a half hour in the afternoon. I do have some long leads by the door for quick potty breaks. I am home during the day and love to have cuddles and play time.

About: My name is Emma , I’m 35 years old and a graduate of the police foundations program here in Brockville, at St Lawrence College. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 2 dogs, chickens & ducks. I’m an animal lover and have some extra time now and would love to walk/take care of your pets 😊 Please contact me if you’re looking for dog walking or pet sitting. I have 8 years experience walking dogs and pet sitting. I have 2 dogs myself, a boston/boxer mix named Larry & a whippet named Louie. They are very sweet and typically good with other dogs. Louie is not fixed & can sometimes take issue with other male dogs. That’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t offer boarding in my house. I currently have 2 steady clients but am always looking to expand, I keep myself available almost every day of the week so if you are in need of a last minute walk or sit I will most likely be available/ I can be pretty flexible to accommodate. I’m also doing house cleaning & looking to get some new clients there so if you happen to be in need of a cleaner or know someone that is please let me know! I have over 10 years experience cleaning & consider myself a very thorough cleaner. I can clean/pet sit if that interests anyone as well. 😊 I’m currently also working as an instacart shopper & do house cleaning, but do dog walkings midday and can work around my instacart/cleaning schedule to include more dog walkings/visits. I’m not offering boarding for dogs as I think it would be too much, already having 2 dogs myself. I am willing to do at home/overnight visits for anyone who is interested 😊

“Emalee was very punctual and checked in with me when needed. Emmie took to her right away. We weren’t able to get the walks we had requested due to an injury compounded by Emmies poor leash manners but Emalee maintained her commitment and provided care for Emmie despite that. She provided great care and communication. I recommend her and would use her services again.?”

“My dog LOVED Paige. As an Australian Shepherd owner, I worried about where to board my dog that she would get enough exercise and attention. After seeing Paige’s great reviews from other people, I decided to reach out. I’m so happy I did!! When we returned from our vacation, my dog was tired, happy, and well cared for. Paige kept me updated throughout the time that I was away, sending pictures of their adventures together. I highly recommend Paige.”

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“I worried my sweet little Golden Retriever would feel abandoned and anxious in a stranger's house. She took to Danielle immediately on first meeting. Wasn't anxious when I left. By all reports, she really enjoyed her time with Danielle and Mat in their home and spacious backyard. Their affection for animals shines through. When I picked her up, Willow was happy to see us but not so much as if relieved. She roamed the property like it was hers. It was obvious she had as much a vacation as we did.”
“We had a great experience with Manali. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her.”
“After having read such excellent reviews of Madeline and Ryan, we felt completely assured to leave our 2 year old dog with them. And they turned out to be exactly as the reviews said (excellent). Given our dog is quite timid in nature, we appreciate the patience and understanding that both Madeline and Ryan showed. We also appreciate the honest feedback that helped us learn about it our little one’s personality outside our home. We would definitely return to them in future.”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“Absolutely wonderful care for our dog Bella!!! Laura goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of as Laura loves dogs and making sure they are well treated and taken care of!!! Her family also has the same values of care for pets and makes sure your pet feels at home!!!”
“Wonderful place to leave your dog. We met Jason and his dogs and they were all just the nicest. Their place is very dog friendly, the yard is well fenced in, and our dog seemed really happy being there. Would definitely have them take care of our dog again.”
“We are thrilled to have a go-to Rover near beautiful Merrickville, where we sometimes spend the weekend. Now, we're able to send our dog to have a blast with Kayla and her dog while we roam the shops, cafes, and restaurants. Kayla was prompt, professional, and friendly in her communication and service, and she took great care of our dog. He was smiling extra big in all of the photos she sent us throughout the day. We will be reaching out to here again in future, and recommend her to others.”
“Radish had a great time! She was well cared for and enjoyed her mini vacation as much as we enjoyed ours knowing she was well taken care of! This warm home gave her lots of exercise and cuddles and was clearly interested in providing the best possible care…highly recommend!”
“Our dog Cleo is a hyper yet shy dog that get's easily startled and needs space and patience. Susana and her family did an amazing job keeping Cleo at their home for a few nights and were able to accomodate my dog's needs. Susana was very pleasant to talk to and she provided frequent updates about Cleo and kept me in the loop of things. Overall, I had an amazing experience with my booking and would recommend Susana!”
“Roxy had a fantastic time with Steven and Gabrielle, and especially with Avro. We had lots of updates and photos showing the two of them having a blast together. I won’t hesitate to book again with them.”
“Mirian was so caring and wonderful with Louie. He had a great time for three days while we were on a trip. Louie is not food motivated so it can be a little tricky sometimes to feed him in a new environment, but she figured out a way to make him feel comfortable. Thank you Mirian!”
