Overall, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”

I highly recommend her services and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

I forgot her scratch post when I picked her up and he dropped it off for me subsequently. Thank you so much Collin!”
“I highly recommend, they are caring about yr pet, trust worthy and reliable!!! I cannot fully express how amazing they were with my fur baby. They came for at home visits and made sure my cat had his every need met. They even brought a radio for background noise for him and filtered water for him to drink. That's how much they care about the animals. They brushed him and gave him cuddles. Every day they texted updates with pictures. I will be using them as my cat sitter from now on. I 100% trust them with my cats care.”

About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large.

We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.

“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, with experience looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and boarding, giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and a comfortable home environment. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule and make them feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, affection, and plenty of care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, sitting, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m happy to discuss their usual routine, feeding times, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’m attentive to their well-being throughout their stay and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard
“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”
“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”
“Betsabe was so good with my doggo. She has severe hip dysplasia in both hips and Betsabe made sure she was comfortable on her floors by putting a mat down for Hershey. The photo updates throughout the day made me smile and eased my mind knowing Hershey was with someone who was taking good care of her. Definitely will be using again.”
“So happy Noelle could provide Doggy Day Care for my pup while I was in town for just a day. He was safe & cared for while we saw Niagara Falls. Her updates & photos sent were much appreciated.”

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.

I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work!

Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.
“Holly was great - she came the day before to meet frank which made me super comfortable to have her taking him out the next day and knowing alll his quirks.

Cant wait to have her back - a great walker for my frankie baby.”

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.
About: We have years of experience when it comes to dogs from puppies to our dear senior dogs. We love them all and are capable to take care of them. I have a Springer Spaniel which I need to take care of daily. She's needs lots of workouts as a high energy dog and I love it to exercise her. She is also a very big part of our family and needs lots of attention care and love. A pet in my home or a clients home will be taken care of like my own, they will get all the love they need in our scheduled time and also enough exercise to make them tired.
About: I grew up in the country caring for all kinds of animals; dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens etc. We raised German Shepherds and a few of their litters. I’ve had animals all my life:) I work 24 hour shifts, 7 days per month. Although I can’t have a dog of my own due to being away for long periods of time I can care for your pet fully on my days off. I have a fully fenced large yard in a family friendly neighbourhood near parks, trails etc. I have two cats and two kids who are pet friendly.
About: 🐈 Your Pet’s New Best Friend 🐣 Making Sure your pet is safe, happy, & having fun 🐶 Detailed Updates with photos & videos 🐩 Puppy & Cat Owner I recently graduated college and am not currently working, so I have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs care during the day, evenings, weekends, or overnight, I’m happy to work around their routine and your needs! I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I treat every home with respect and will keep things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🏡💙
About: I’ve spent the past few years helping care for dogs for friends, family, and people in my community. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy on their walks. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, leash preferences, exercise needs, and any special care requests. I enjoy long walks, outdoor activity, and giving dogs plenty of attention and positive interaction. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, from playful dogs who love exercise to calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also make communication a priority and can provide updates and photos during walks so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during most weekdays, including afternoons and evenings. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashing practices, and avoid unsafe situations or overly crowded areas when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to animal behaviour, and I believe building trust with both pets and owners is important. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”
