“Georgia had a fantastic stay with Allison and Scott! It's clear they know dogs inside and out, are incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely love them. I appreciate the open space they provide, and it's great that all the dogs there are wonderful companions. This ensures my Golden Retriever is not only safe but also learns from being around such well-behaved dogs. As a Rover caregiver myself, I only want the best for my pup, and Allison and Scott definitely meet that standard!”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”
“Where do i start, Catherine saved me when I was in need of a sitter for my luna at the last minute. She took such good care of my baby even when she was dealing with an ear infection . The pictures alone says it all and who knew she would like cats lol. . Catherine was warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end . Luna will be back there soon. My luna was in good hands. Thank you 😊”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
“Warren looked after Booker again while we were away for 3 nights. We know Booker had a FANTASTIC time. Truly not more caring and wonderful people we could have left him with. We are so grateful because we know our baby got fantastic care and attention. Would recommend Warren to anyone looking to leave their pup in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“Jean was absolutely amazing! She had great communication throughout Piper’s stay and sent regular picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jean and her family were incredibly welcoming and loving to Piper, and it was clear she was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely recommend Jean to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we will definitely be trusting her with future boarding ❤️”
“So glad we found Santanna and Dan. My two doggies thoroughly enjoyed their time on the farm and we were very thankful to have peace and mind while we were away for the weekend. Great communication throughout. Would definitely use them next time!”
“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
“Michelle was such an incredible host for our dogs at her home. She is very clearly a dog lover ! She was very responsible, organized and communicative with us before and during our doggies stay with her. Will certainly use her again in the future as it was such a successful stay”
“Cindy took very good care of our baby girl and made her feel so comfortable. We really appreciate her and her husband and how they looked after Poppy. Highly recommend reaching out to her for day care or boarding!”
“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!”
“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”

Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly chihuahuas, two bunnies, and 3 pet rats, all of whom are used to meeting new animals and do great with visitors. I also have a gentle, animal-loving 7-year-old who has grown up around pets and understands how to treat them with care and respect.

They have full access to the couch and all areas of my pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment. You’re welcome to bring any personal items—beds, blankets, toys, or anything that helps your pet feel more at home—but we also have plenty of toys and treats here for them to enjoy. My two dogs use pee pads during the winter months, but I’m absolutely able to take your dog out for walks if that’s part of their routine. If your pet is also pee-pad trained, that works perfectly for us.

About: I’ve cared for our family kitties for years as well as cared for kittens and cats as well as senior kitties. I’ve fed, brushed, clipped nails and gave medications to numerous cats, mostly cats that were in a rescue.
About: I’ve had cats of my own since I was about 6-7 and I’ve loved every minute of it. For such small creatures they sure have big personalities! Currently I’m living with 3 of the most rambunctious kitties in their teenager phase 🙄. As a kid I worked with cats and kittens in shelters, and spent a lot of my time volunteering for the local community. My family and I have also rescued kittens ourselves and raised them from teeny tiny kitties. I promise to care and love for your cats as much as you do! Over the years I’ve gained experience in feeding, giving medicine, playing, petting, and of course, knowing the different boundaries of each cat. I hope to hear from you soon! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐈🐈⬛

“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”

“Every single interaction with Warren and Angelika is amazing. My puppy gets excited when we’re going down there, and is practically leaping out of my arms at the door. She comes home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure the days she doesn’t go, she’s judging me for not being as fun at Warren’s. :) I feel genuinely blessed to have found Warren. I feel totally sure that she’s being treated well, and have no anxiety at all. That’s worth more than gold!”
“Great experience! Easy drop off and pick up, they were very flexible and great communication with our 15 week old puppy! He was exhausted he slept the whole ride home. Would use again and very happy!”
“Thank you so much for the excellent care of our pup! We loved getting the photos and videos of her enjoying her day with you!

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: Dogs and puppies are my passion! I dreamed of working with dogs as a little girl and now that is my reality! I have been working with dogs for about 18 years now. I have worked and trained many puppies as well as rescue dogs. I have worked in kennels and doggy daycares, with the pups as well as managing. I have also volunteered for humane societies and fostered rescue dogs. I was on the dog team at the alliston humane society for many years. I work from home so I am mostly at home, other than running errands and attending a few programs throughout the week. Typically I wouldn’t be out of the house for more than a few hours at one time. Dogs staying with us should be comfortable around children, kitties and preferably other pups. We provide lots cuddles and play time (if they want it!).
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From barn animals, to wild, as well as our indoor furry friends - I’ve mingled with just about every animal in Ontario. I love their personalities and teaching them new tricks - I also have experience working with senior animals and know that they need even more extra love and care. Working with me means working with someone who wants to love your animals just as much as you do! Currently, I’m a freshman in college working towards a graphic design degree! (I also offer design services 😉) I am able to balance my classes quite well - I am available full time in the fall/winter/early spring, along side attending classes. I work a seasonal position in the summer, but would still love to help out with your furry friends! My home has a large fenced in, dog proof yard - plenty of space to run and play. My dogs have made their own daily running route! They obviously get fed daily, as well as walked. There is a large dog friendly park about 5 minutes away from my house as well. Currently, I am also in the process of training one of my dogs at home - so there is some equipment I have that can be used for training (IE - lead, treat bag, training leash, toys, etc)

“Jennifer was amazing. While booking she was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. On the day of she reconfirmed the booking, showed up on time, went for a very nice long walk with our dog and made sure everything was closed and locked on her way out. The report after the walk had nice photos too! We will be booking again with her in the future!”

“Georgia had a fantastic stay with Allison and Scott! It's clear they know dogs inside and out, are incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely love them. I appreciate the open space they provide, and it's great that all the dogs there are wonderful companions. This ensures my Golden Retriever is not only safe but also learns from being around such well-behaved dogs. As a Rover caregiver myself, I only want the best for my pup, and Allison and Scott definitely meet that standard!”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”
“Where do i start, Catherine saved me when I was in need of a sitter for my luna at the last minute. She took such good care of my baby even when she was dealing with an ear infection . The pictures alone says it all and who knew she would like cats lol. . Catherine was warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end . Luna will be back there soon. My luna was in good hands. Thank you 😊”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
“Warren looked after Booker again while we were away for 3 nights. We know Booker had a FANTASTIC time. Truly not more caring and wonderful people we could have left him with. We are so grateful because we know our baby got fantastic care and attention. Would recommend Warren to anyone looking to leave their pup in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“Jean was absolutely amazing! She had great communication throughout Piper’s stay and sent regular picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jean and her family were incredibly welcoming and loving to Piper, and it was clear she was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely recommend Jean to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we will definitely be trusting her with future boarding ❤️”
“So glad we found Santanna and Dan. My two doggies thoroughly enjoyed their time on the farm and we were very thankful to have peace and mind while we were away for the weekend. Great communication throughout. Would definitely use them next time!”
“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
“Michelle was such an incredible host for our dogs at her home. She is very clearly a dog lover ! She was very responsible, organized and communicative with us before and during our doggies stay with her. Will certainly use her again in the future as it was such a successful stay”
“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 retired in 2020 and returned to college to receive my Registered Veterinary Technician diploma in 2023. I have been a foster parent to hundreds of animals over my lifetime, specializing in animals who require medication and specialized medical care. I am retired and available to watch your pet at any time. Last minute and longer term care remains an option. I do travel on occasion but this would be communicated with plenty of notice. I have just moved to the Fergus area and reside in a park-setting which has a fenced leash free area on site. There is a lake should your pup like the water! I can accommodate crate trained animals however my general thinking is that your pet would be like my own were, snuggling on the bed or couch. I realize how important consistency and routine is to your pets wellbeing and would ensure that your routines are followed should I be staying at your home.
“Our dogs are always so excited to see Kristen and Jeffrey when we drop them off and that is what always makes me feel so comfortable that they are being well taken care of. Always good about giving updates and sending photos. They are great sitters!!”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
About: Lifelong Animal Lover With 10+ Years Vet Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Bailey, and I offer in-home pet boarding, daycare, and care for small to medium dogs, cats, and small animals. My pricing is set at what I believe is a fair reflection of my experience in the veterinary industry, the quality of care I provide, and the time dedicated to your pet. At the same time, I work hard to keep my services affordable because I understand firsthand how expensive being a pet parent can be. My goal is to provide trusted, professional care without adding financial stress. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years, and I now work from home for a pet microchip company—meaning I’m available, attentive, and trained to notice even the smallest changes in your pet’s behavior or health. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly chihuahuas, two bunnies, and 3 pet rats, all of whom are used to meeting new animals and do great with visitors. I also have a gentle, animal-loving 7-year-old who has grown up around pets and understands how to treat them with care and respect. Animals have been my passion since childhood, and I love creating a calm, fun, and secure environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, supervision, or just a quiet place to relax, I’m here to make their stay safe and enjoyable. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry (or fluffy!) family member! I currently work from home for a pet microchip company—so I’m home and available all day. Since the company is very pet-friendly, they’re incredibly accommodating when it comes to things like background noise, potty breaks, or anything else your pet may need. Plus, my own 2 dogs are home with me all day and would love to play with your pet! When your pet is in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own! They have full access to the couch and all areas of my pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment. You’re welcome to bring any personal items—beds, blankets, toys, or anything that helps your pet feel more at home—but we also have plenty of toys and treats here for them to enjoy. My two dogs use pee pads during the winter months, but I’m absolutely able to take your dog out for walks if that’s part of their routine. If your pet is also pee-pad trained, that works perfectly for us.
“Jacqueline took great care of our dog while we were away for 10 days. Regular photos and updates, which is terrific. I highly recommend her services, she is great with dogs!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“I can’t thank Sreekumar and his wife enough for the incredible care they provided for my dog, Ace, during his boarding stay. They treated him like their own child, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the regular updates, pictures, and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that Ace was having a great time and was in loving hands. Without a doubt, Ace will be staying with them again whenever I need boarding. Highly recommend their services to any pet parent looking for a safe and caring environment!”
