“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!”

We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”

Charlie will definitely be back!”
“Kim is a true animal lover! Our big berner was so well loved and cared for by Kim. We received tons of photos and updates which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was safe! She made sure to ask questions before drop off to get to know him and listened to everything we communicated with her. Would highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I started my own dog-walking business in my neighborhood, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger and evolved into extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a proud owner of Bengal cats, I understand the unique needs, energy levels, intelligence, and personalities that different pets require. I am comfortable providing enrichment, play, exercise, feeding, medication administration, and attentive daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I also have experience training and caring for a high-drive Doberman Pinscher, which has given me valuable knowledge in obedience training, structure, exercise requirements, and managing intelligent, energetic breeds. Working closely with a breed that thrives on consistency and engagement has strengthened my skills in reading canine behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. I naturally connect with pets, understand their body language, and recognize when they need comfort, play, space, or reassurance. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a reliable caregiver, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while you're away, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.
About: I have decades of cat and dog experience. Recently, our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and I am hoping helping others' pets can help fill the void. I raised a dog from puppyhood, fostered a rescue, and have dogsat several family and friends' dogs. For now, I can offer evening, overnight and weekend pet care. My aim is to work from home full-time and so eventually I will be able to do more! All food, toys, walks, crating, etc. will be to your instructions. Safe playing is a great time to get to know each other. I am very much the "mom" when I have to be - dogs usually respond well to my queues, and I am available as a safe place for them. My place is an apartment above a couple shops downtown Elora. There are lots of green area or trails around the neighbourhood. There are three kids here 50% of the time (ages 10-15) who are experienced with pets. There are no other animals here.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats for over 30 years. Have done some pet sitting as well which included regular walks, play time , feeding and grooming and giving medication. They will be well takken care of in my care. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and am available during the day several days a week and every other weekend. Prefer animals to stay with me. I have 1 cat so your dog will need to be accustomed to cats. My cat has been around dogs. I live out in the country with hiking trails surrounding me so I will be walking the dog daily there.
“I am extremely satisfied with the care that my dog received while in Christine’s care. She kept in contact with me while I was away, by sending messages, photos and a video. I highly recommend Christine and will definitely request her in the future!”

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.

About: I have worked with begals for 4 years doing everything from bathing/grooming and socializing them. Experienced in giving medicine to dogs orally and injections including insulin. I am currently working a full time job with cats and dogs. I am available all day on Sundays and Mondays for all your fur baby needs. Your pets will be kept safe at your home by ensuring all windows and doors are kept secured at all times. On walks they will always be kept at a safe distance from other animals and people.
About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.
“Jacobe is very kind and great at communicating with you. He always gets back to us and provided videos from his first visit. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand at no charge and it’s obvious he loves and has experience with animals. Thank you, Jacobe!”
“Adam is awesome. He came for a drop in while we were out at a medical appointment. He took lots of pictures, fed our guys lunch, let them outdoors and played lots. He was also really accommodating, driving a bit of a distance to our house to do a meet-and-greet first. We have already booked him for an overnight pet-sitting in our home next month. Adam is friendly, easygoing, attentive, good with details, and most importantly, awesome with dogs. He's a natural.”

“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”

We do allow our pets on the furniture and to sleep in bed however again-whatever your pet is used to is what we will do. We do have a fence at the road of the property however this is not completely enclosed, so I would be putting the dog on a long rope or lead to be safe.

We understand that every dog is taken care of differently and will follow whatever guidelines you are wanting for your pet.

About: With over 20 years of dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand canine behavior and body language, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and happy environment for every dog. Dependable, patient, and loving, I treat each dog as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less. Dog sitting and dog walking are a seamless part of my daily life, not a side job. My days are built around consistent schedules, regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship, making it easy to give each dog the attention and structure they need. Daily walks aren’t rushed—they’re a chance for exercise, enrichment, and connection. Because caring for dogs is woven into my routine, they receive reliable, calm, and attentive care that feels familiar and stress-free. For me, it’s simply how I live—sharing my days with dogs and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for dogs in their own homes to keep their routines consistent and stress-free. I follow each dog’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, paying close attention to their individual needs and personalities. Daily walks are tailored to energy level and age, and I provide companionship, enrichment, and calm supervision throughout the visit. I also handle medication if needed, maintain food and water areas, clean up after walks, and keep the home tidy. By caring for dogs in familiar surroundings, I help them feel secure, comfortable, and well loved while their owners are away.
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.

“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!”
“Tucker had a wonderful vacation at Deborah's house while we were away. He seemed happy and busy and well exercised. I think he really liked having another dog in the house. It made our trip even better knowing Tuck was well taken care of. We will be back!”
“Rocky had an awesome stay for 10 days with Steve, Leah and the family. Our experience was excellent with Steve being very responsive during the setup stage and communicating regularly once Rocky was boarding. We were very happy with the care provided to Rocky”

Natalie is a kind and caring person 💗 and she takes great care of my furbaby. I would unequivocally recommend her.”

We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”

About: Growing up, I started my own dog-walking business in my neighborhood, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger and evolved into extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a proud owner of Bengal cats, I understand the unique needs, energy levels, intelligence, and personalities that different pets require. I am comfortable providing enrichment, play, exercise, feeding, medication administration, and attentive daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I also have experience training and caring for a high-drive Doberman Pinscher, which has given me valuable knowledge in obedience training, structure, exercise requirements, and managing intelligent, energetic breeds. Working closely with a breed that thrives on consistency and engagement has strengthened my skills in reading canine behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. I naturally connect with pets, understand their body language, and recognize when they need comfort, play, space, or reassurance. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a reliable caregiver, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while you're away, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.
About: I have decades of cat and dog experience. Recently, our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and I am hoping helping others' pets can help fill the void. I raised a dog from puppyhood, fostered a rescue, and have dogsat several family and friends' dogs. For now, I can offer evening, overnight and weekend pet care. My aim is to work from home full-time and so eventually I will be able to do more! All food, toys, walks, crating, etc. will be to your instructions. Safe playing is a great time to get to know each other. I am very much the "mom" when I have to be - dogs usually respond well to my queues, and I am available as a safe place for them. My place is an apartment above a couple shops downtown Elora. There are lots of green area or trails around the neighbourhood. There are three kids here 50% of the time (ages 10-15) who are experienced with pets. There are no other animals here.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats for over 30 years. Have done some pet sitting as well which included regular walks, play time , feeding and grooming and giving medication. They will be well takken care of in my care. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and am available during the day several days a week and every other weekend. Prefer animals to stay with me. I have 1 cat so your dog will need to be accustomed to cats. My cat has been around dogs. I live out in the country with hiking trails surrounding me so I will be walking the dog daily there.
“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”
“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”
