“Timon has stayed with Lynda multiple times now, and every time has been absolutely wonderful. She treats him like one of her own, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. Timon always comes home happy and well-exercised. Lynda also keeps me updated with the sweetest messages, photos, and videos—which I truly appreciate. It’s such a relief to know Timon is in a safe, loving, and structured environment when I’m away. I trust Lynda completely and can’t recommend her enough!”
“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! ❤️”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“Joan is so loving to my dog Simba. He was having a great time with her over the weekend and went on plenty of adventures with her! I'm afraid he might get bored with me at home now 😂. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby ❤️ I would definitely recommend!”
“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”
“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.”
“Farley had a fantastic stay. Jocelyn & Jason were wonderful to deal with and very friendly. They truly seemed to enjoy having our doggy visit and were very accommodating to our plans changing. Highly recommend!”

“Mylo has stayed at Lindsay's twice now, and both times it seems like he's having the best time! Lindsay provides regular updates, and she is extremely responsive if you reach out to her. She is organized, energetic, knowledgable, and accommodating. And her whole family is great with dogs. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Tucker was spoiled with love and lots of play! He came home happy and tired! I recieved frequent updates amd pictures which gave me great comfort! Daniel & Sarah P were most accomodating as well. I will definitely book with them again!”
“What a lovely family! It truly felt like a 'home away from home' for my dog. Hunter enjoyed his time with Manali and her family so much—it was like a vacation for him, too! Thank you for treating Hunter with such genuine love and care. You will always be my first choice, and I highly recommend your services to any pet owner!”
“Great experience! My dogs dont always show their best side when meeting new people and regardless April agreed to take them for a week and did a great job with them and sending me pics and updates so i could relax and know they were doing just fine.”
“Sunny was staying with Hui’s family. She is great! super friendly and caring. Her little dog & kitty were also very welcoming to Sunny. Sunny loved their backyard. We had great experience and will definitely ask for her help in future too”

Lei even went out of her way to return the feeder bowls I forgot at pick up she drove them over. Honestly amazing 👏 thanks so much for having Zeus”
“Another great weekend at Danielle's house for my Niko!! I truly can't say enough good things about Danielle and her family. I feel so at ease when I'm leaving my baby with her. She takes such good care of him and treats him like her own dog! Danielle is like family to me now and I forever have someone I can trust with my fur baby. Thank you so much again Danielle for a great weekend taking care of Niko! He will be back again soon ❤️❤️”
“Fantastic experience! Great communication, video updates, and it was obvious Remy was well cared for. I had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“There should be more stars allowed for us to pick to show how fortunate our Maggie, and us, were to find Shadi, Kristen and Adam. Maggie received so much love and attention the entire week and we can clearly see that Maggie truly misses her temporary family. Any and all families who are looking for a family who treats their fur baby as if he/she were their own….this is the family to choose. We received excellent updates regularly, with pictures, showing just happy our Maggie was. Nothing but amazing things we have to say about them and if Maggie could talk, she would say the same thing. Thank you again Shadi, Kristen and Adam….we are so lucky to have found you guys. Take care. Derek/Ashley and Maggie.”

“Haley was an amazing sitter for our three cats. We had to go away for the weekend and booked last minute, and she still made time to come by and see our house and meet the cats before her visits started. We received pictures of our babies every drop-in, and she was quick to reach out to us if anything was out of the ordinary. Would definitely hire her again! :)”
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. I also have experience with giving oral and injectable medications. Animals are my safe haven, my solace and help me feel comfortable. Having animals around me at all times is pure happiness! 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.
“We absolutely love Auntie Tina! Our pets are elated to see her when she comes through the door. She is an absolute gem! She’s terrific at reading pets wants and needs, she is present, detail oriented, mega helpful and on and on. You can’t go wrong hiring Tina, it’s the best decision you’ll ever make for your pets, your house and for your peace of mind. Thanks Tina for everything you do so we can enjoy our time away from home.”
“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.”
About: I've been working with cat rescues since 2016, and have been a cat owner my whole life. I have experience with timid, aggressive and calm cats. I am able to perform all the necessary duties related to caring for a cat, as well as additional duties like administering medication or giving baths.
“Jenna is awesome! She takes fantastic care of my cats, they love her. She's reliable, a good communicator and I fully trust her to make decisions when I'm not there. Thank you Jenna!”
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: Hi there! I’m Amanda — a lifelong animal lover and physiotherapist who also completed the Canine Rehabilitation program. I grew up at the stable, surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I got my first dog for my ninth birthday and have since cared for pets from puppies to senior dogs well into their golden years. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs, including one rescue pup I personally rehabilitated through patience, structure, and love. As a physiotherapist and certified canine rehab specialist, I have a strong understanding of mobility, comfort, and safe handling—especially for dogs recovering from injury, dealing with arthritis, or needing a bit of extra care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a gentle senior, or a pet who needs a little confidence and TLC, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide warm, knowledgeable, and reliable care so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day — just like they would with family. When caring for others’ pets, I always take the time to listen to their owners and follow each animal’s usual routine. I believe consistency and respect are key to helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for — just like they would at home.

Flexible & Dedicated to Your Pet’s Needs 🐾 I’m currently working but can fit your dog’s care into my daily and weekly routine. I offer a full range of services—including walks, massage therapy, training, pet-sitting, boarding, and even poop cleanup! Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits both your needs and theirs. Safe, Trusted, and Comfortable Care for Your Dog 🐾 I provide mobile canine massage therapy in the comfort of your home, as well as dog walking and training services. Outdoor walks are always done safely with slip-collar leashes, and I’m fully prepared to bring activities indoors on rainy days. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities at all times.
“Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊”

“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. She was in great hands!”
About: I am a former dog owner of an 18 year old Cockapoo I lost 1,5 years ago. Prior to this I cared for my 19 year old Spaniel/terrier. In addition, I am listed on Trusted House sitters as a Five star House/pet sitter. My last girl, I took care of her in Pallative state, administering, meds, special allergy bathing , going to the Vet for fluids and other treatments. Carry her down the deck stairs for her potty time when her ability was no longer there to climb up and down stairs etc. I had both of my dogs as a puppy and trained them with some dog trainers and my own training. I still have bedding, dishes, wire and mesh crate, toys! I am retired, I have some spare time depending on some days between appointments and trips into Ottawa. I would be more available during the day and early evenings I have a fenced yard, with plenty of grass down below the deck area. I am close to walking trails and sidewalks outside of my home. I do have a wired and mesh crate. I may administer some oral medication. Walk, feed, give lots of love, hugs and attention to your fur baby!
“Super nice with me and my cats. Helpful along the way (they helped me bring them up and down). They sent pictures/video of them to see how they interacted. Very good first experience!”

About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.
“Our Portuguese water dog Splash spent a day with Faye for doggy day care. Faye sent several text updates and videos during the day, to show us how our sweet girl was doing. I'd mentioned to Faye that Splash is a real "people dog," and she sent several videos to reassure me that Splash was getting lots of cuddles. Faye is a warm, friendly person, and it's clear that she loves dogs. It was good to know that Splash was in good hands while we were out for the day. We've booked Splash with Faye for a 10-day stay in a couple of months. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services.”
About: I have experience raising two dogs from puppyhood through to their senior years, providing consistent care and attention throughout their lives. I also have a 10-year-old spayed female Labrador, Elsa, who is a calm and loving companion, and would be a friendly presence for your dog. As a homemaker, I am able to provide dedicated, compassionate, and reliable care, ensuring the well-being of your dog at all times. With over two decades of experience caring for dogs, my household has always been a warm and active environment that includes beloved canine companions. My husband and kids are extremely dog-friendly and supportive, so your pet will not only receive my devoted care but also plenty of love and attention from our whole family. Our home is cozy and welcoming and has enough space, offering plenty of room for your dog to feel right at home. It is a multi-level townhouse, with the upstairs offering quiet retreats for restful naps. With our whole family's love, your dog will be a welcomed addition to our home, receiving constant company, comfort, and supervision as part of our daily routine. During the meet-and-greet, we can discuss and adapt any arrangements to best suit your dog's specific comfort and sleep preferences.
“Alaina was amazing she gave frequent updates with pictures, our golden retriever puppy had a great time with her pup, he was tired from having so much fun and playing all day, I felt comfortable that he was in good hands the moment I met her, we will definitely will be using her again for daycare for our pup.”
“Jennifer was kind and warm at the meet & greet and, fortunately for me, was available to provide daycare on fairly short notice for my recently adopted older dog. I felt confident that Misty was in safe and caring hands. She came home tired and happy after a full day of fun and attention.”
“Brando felt right at home! The location is great and surrounded by nature. Danielle was very welcoming and flexible for drop off and pick up times. Communication was great throughout. I will definitely book again.”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our puppy Isla. Her dog Alfie is such a good companion and was so good with her. Isla was absolutely pooped by the end of their visits. Smooth communication, drop off and pick up. We will definitely be back!”
“Jessica has been very caring! Alfie had a lot of fun. He came back tired after playing all day long with Jessica’s dog. I highly recommend Jessica for anyone needing a short or long stay with her. Thanks Jessica!”
About: I’ve been showing dogs since the age of six, which has taught me how to handle different breeds of all ages and sizes. Outside the show ring I take on grooming; ex. trimming coats, nails and cleaning ears. I’m a lover of all dog breeds and would love to take care of your pup, whether it be through walking them or checking in while you’re away. I am a University student home for the summer. Although I work from 12:30-6pm Tuesday-Friday and 10-3pm Saturdays, I’m happy to care for your pet the rest of the day. Walks help get myself and your dog active while drop-ins help to relax and unwind from daily stress. Puppies; I have taken care of many puppies who have gone through all stages, and am well aware of the importance of the person and environment they are raised around. Due to this, I will gladly offer light training on the side (ie. preventing biting and jumping up) without additional fees but I understand if this is not necessary. Majority of visits will focus on play and working your pup’s mind to prevent under stimulation. Middle age; Visits will focus around both play and rest, the ratio varying on the breed. I will gladly play with any dog as well as ensuring they are calmed down before I leave to prevent frustration. Seniors; As someone with an old girl myself, I greatly understand the struggles of administering medications and the work that goes in to owning a veteran. I understand a plethora of massage techniques and will gladly help relieve any muscle pain your dog my experience without additional fees. In terms pf activity level, I will adjust depending on the dog, although with older ones I will be consistently watching to ensure they don’t stress their joints.

“Stephanie was so kind to help us out last minute in a pinch. We have two border collies with high energy and crazy personalities and Stephanie put my mind at ease knowing she had 5 dogs of her own at home and knew how to handle strong dogs. Will definitely ask her to walk my dogs again and again!”
“Kimberley was amazing with my dog! I loved how she just fit him in with her life during the overnight stay. I know he was well cared for and pampered. I highly recommend Kimberley.”
About: I've had dogs for the last 20 years, usually with four in the house at a time. We've had a Shih-tzu, three Jack-Shih-tzus, a Great Pyrenees, and now a solo Maltie-Poo named Dozer. Every dog I meet is a new friend, and I have to admit that I knew the names of all the dogs in my last neighborhood, and like maybe three of the owners names. Happy to walk active dogs that need long walks. Other animals: I've also taken care of farm animals. Dairy cows and calves, and feeding chickens and putting them in for the night. I've kept both freshwater and marine tanks and can check up on your fish or your reef while you're away. No worrying about your niece or nephew dumping a whole container of bug bites into the tank while you're gone and causing an ammonia spike. I have a flexible schedule and am in between writing contracts at the moment so have lots of time available for scheduling check-ins and walks for local puppers. I can check-on and feed pets as needed, dispense necessary meds, walk them from your home, or load them in the car and take them to the Cataraqui Trail for longer walks / more active dogs.
About: Armed with over 3 years of dog training and care experience working in kennels, doggy daycares, pet sitting and dog walking I can ensure the best care for your pets. I am certified in canine first aid and have experience with large animals like horses, pets like cats and dogs, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and rats.

Im currently in school part time with a relatively open schedule. I am unavailable Thursdays between 9:30-11:30, but otherwise available any day, whenever is most convenient for the client. I have a shared courtyard with grassy areas that I take dogs out to on a leash. There is also the brock trail close by to walk for a quiet trip, or walking downtown for those more adventures pups. I have a private room that they can be secluded in if needed, but for the most part they can have the run of the apartment with supervision.
“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.?”

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’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 😊

“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! ❤️”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”
“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.”

“Another great weekend at Danielle's house for my Niko!! I truly can't say enough good things about Danielle and her family. I feel so at ease when I'm leaving my baby with her. She takes such good care of him and treats him like her own dog! Danielle is like family to me now and I forever have someone I can trust with my fur baby. Thank you so much again Danielle for a great weekend taking care of Niko! He will be back again soon ❤️❤️”
“There should be more stars allowed for us to pick to show how fortunate our Maggie, and us, were to find Shadi, Kristen and Adam. Maggie received so much love and attention the entire week and we can clearly see that Maggie truly misses her temporary family. Any and all families who are looking for a family who treats their fur baby as if he/she were their own….this is the family to choose. We received excellent updates regularly, with pictures, showing just happy our Maggie was. Nothing but amazing things we have to say about them and if Maggie could talk, she would say the same thing. Thank you again Shadi, Kristen and Adam….we are so lucky to have found you guys. Take care. Derek/Ashley and Maggie.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.
“Bucky always has the best time visiting Jacqueline and Jamie. We love the updates and pictures on how he is doing while we're away, it really gives us great peace of mind to know he's so happy and well cared for.”
“I recently left my dog, Aadhi, with Rodrigo family for three days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care the family provided. They made sure Aadhi was well-fed, received his medications on time, and got plenty of playtime and walks. They provided updates multiple times a day. They shared photos and videos. When I brought Aadhi back to Rodrigo’s home the next day, he was so excited that he ran straight inside—proof of how comfortable and happy he felt there. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I will definitely be trusting Rodrigo with Aadhi again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
“This is the second time our fur baby has stayed with Claire. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. Our pup is relaxed, happy and very well looked after. Our dog has a few special needs given her age that Claire happily takes care of. We love the regular updates that include pics or short videos. Claire’s dog is very friendly and a great companion to any visiting dogs. We have no hesitation recommending Claire!”
“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!”
