“This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.”
“Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!”
“We are so grateful to Cindy and Jay for taking such great care of our dog Charlie while we were away! They went above and beyond by sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Charlie was relaxed, happy, and in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitting experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and caring pet sitters!”
“Eva was wonderful! She took care of my pup really well :) she kept me informed about my dog throughout the day by sending pics and videos. She was also accommodative in terms of timelines. I will definitely come back to Eva for daycare and boarding of my dog.”
“Dale and Fiona were great! They even sent some updates and a video of my pup playing with all of the other dogs. I will definitely be in touch any time we have boarding needs!”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“I would definitely recommend her! She took great care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time he was staying with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Excellent experience! Nyla was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. I appreciated the updates and could tell she was comfortable and happy during her stay. We would definitely book with Tieja again. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our dog Charley received from Emma and Victoria. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Carey was amazing with my dog Blue. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She provided me with photo updates of my dog throughout his stay and he looked happy as ever. 5 stars!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tyrone! He provided many photos and updates, and we had no doubt our boy Ollie was in the best care. We will definitely use Tyrone’s help again! Highly recommend!”

“Saksham took great care of Percy while my family was away at a cottage for 4 nights. They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout his stay. They also made sure to give him his medication on a set schedule. I think Percy had a great time! Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“This was Oscar’s first stay with Cindy and Marc, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family. It was so nice to hear that Oscar made them laugh during playtime! When I came to pick him up, he barely paid any attention to me at first and didn’t seem to want to leave. 😄 That’s actually very typical of Oscar whenever he has a great time somewhere, so to me, that was the biggest compliment they could receive. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would not hesitate to leave Oscar with Cindy and Marc again. In fact, Oscar’s next stay with them is already booked, and I know he’ll be excited to come back. I highly recommend Cindy and Marc to anyone looking for kind, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters.”
“This was our first time leaving our two guys with Claudia and her family for a couple days. After our meet and greet I felt confident and assured that my two doggies would be just fine! Claudia provided updates through text messages and sent pics of my guys playing in her large fenced yard. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to look after your dog(s). She was amazing with my boys and will definitely rebook with her in the future! Thank you Claudia!!”
“Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!”
“We are so happy to have found Magno & Patricia to look after Solo this weekend. It was her first time away from us after a severe illness, and they put our minds at ease with lots of photos and updates when her medication was administered. Solo came home happy and well cared for. Magno & Patricia, we hope you can be our regular sitters for Solo!”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”

About: Cats and dogs have a special spot in my heart; caring for them brings me so much joy. I have been taking care of animals for 10+ years, from puppies and kittens to seniors with special diets. I am dedicated to giving your pet(s) all the care and attention they need & deserve.

“From the very start Nuno was a very friendly and considerate cat sitter. All throughout the process, he showed gentleness when he met the boys, caring during his visits and in the messages he sent. We really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. Thank you Nuno for your availability and care while taking care of Calvin and Hobbes over the holidays. It was very appreciated. We would highly recommend Nuno to other people. All the best!”
“Courtney was amazing, she took such a good care of my little furry baby while we were away. She left feedback and sent pictures of my cat after each visit which I really liked. Everything was clean and Courtney knew the ins and outs of what needed done and Glitch was a happy cat, we could tell! Would def book Courtney again! The best!”
“Kimberly was very receptive to our care instructions and communicative throughout. Really eased the stress of leaving our cats while away on vacation. Would recommend!”

“Hannah did a fantastic job looking after our fur babies, especially with such last minute notice. She was able to administer medication for our oldest cat which was such a relief to have that extra level of care. Would definitely recommend booking Hannah!”
“Katherine was a wonderful cat sitter! She sent us lovely updates with the cutest photos, and was so thoughtful with the time she spent with our kitties (like giving them some fresh air by the patio door). She was super communicative, and we felt so comforted knowing she was taking care of them. Would highly recommend her!”

About: My wife and I have been fostering dogs and cats from the Humane Society and other rescues for 6 years, in addition to being pet owners ourselves. We have specifically taken on animals with health complications in need of special care, e.g. medication, physiotherapy, pregnancy, etc. As a bonus, my wife is a dog groomer with a salon attached to our home, so if your pet needs some sprucing up, we can help with that, too! Both my wife and I work from home and I am currently on leave from work, so I have lots of extra time to devote to your pet 🙂 We have a large, fenced yard that provides ample space for play. We currently own three cats (Mouse, Graham, and Rudy), and a budgie (Fergus). The cats are used to foster pets (about 60 cats and dogs over the past 6 years) coming in and out on a regular basis and the bird is up nice and high.

About: I have hands on experience training my two dogs Cora and Cooper both in obedience and in agility. This has allowed me to understand the importance of positive reinforcement and how to cater to individual dogs needs.

This role has taught me how to approach and work with rescue dogs and adapt my care to different temperaments.

My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
“Breeah watched my two dogs over the weekend while we were away. Beginning to end she was fantastic! Quick to respond and friendly when I reached out, she obviously has lots of experience with dogs so I was comfortable with her immediately. Breeah met my dogs before we left and while we were gone she provided lots of great updates and pictures - I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again!”

“Cindy was SO accommodating and flexible with our changes in plans. She welcomed our 2 dogs like they were old friends and took them for 2 walks in a 4-hour stay, as well as extra potty breaks for our 3-month-old puppy. We enoyed attending a play at the Shakespeare Festival because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Would Definitely book her again!!”
“After our meet and greet a few weeks ago I felt very confident that Orly would be in good hands. Today she had a fantastic day with Kim and Murphy. Kim has very good communication providing great pics and a summary of how the day went. Orly looks forward to more upcoming visits.”
“I was so nervous to leave my tiny puppy with anyone at such a young age but Tieja was absolutely wonderful. My Alfie liked her right away, she kept me updated and understood my worry. I’ll ask her again to care for him without question.”

“Dawn was exceptional with Winnie. Being a first time puppy owner, I wanted to ensure I found a good sitter for her while I was at work. Dawn was amazing and I look forward to taking Winnie back!”
“Kayla provided excellent care for our Otis. She has a large back yard for dogs to run around in. She struck us as kind and accommodating. We will definitely use her services again when we are back again in Stratford.”
“Bruiser had a fantastic day playing at Dale and Fionas. Fiona was very thorough in reporting back to me how he was doing and at the end of the day. I would take Bruiser back there any time I need a full day of care. Thanks again!”
“Sapphire loves going to Claudia’s. She has gotten to know Claudia and that makes it easier for me to leave her for the day. She enjoys playing with the other dogs.”
“My puppy Aurora had a great time at Eva’s place! She enjoyed walking, playing and having delicious treats! Eva is so kind and did a wonderful job sending us pictures and updates during Aurora’s stay. Thank you very much, Eva! We appreciated your kindness and availability to look after our sweet girl! ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Karen, and caring for animals has been my lifelong passion and career. I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I spent 10 years owning and operating a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I cared for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with special needs. I’m also an experienced positive reinforcement dog trainer, having taught puppy classes, basic obedience, and agility. Before opening my facility, I worked as a dog walker throughout university, and I was raised by two veterinarians—so I’ve truly grown up with this work. I understand canine body language, behavior, and how to create a safe, structured, and happy environment for all pets in my home. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I have a large, secure fenced in yard, plenty of space to play, and quiet areas for rest. If you’re traveling with a mixed pet family, I also have safe, separate areas for cats, thanks to my years of running a combined dog-and-cat boarding program. I’m experienced with: • Puppies (training, socialization, house manners) • Senior dogs (gentle routines, mobility support) • Dogs with medical or behavioral needs • Administering medications, including special diets and schedules, including insulin injections if needed My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re part of the family while giving you total peace of mind. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. I work full time from home, so I am always around. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 I work from home, I am home all the time. Happy to help with doggy daycare if you need your dog to come and play in a large fenced in area. I have many opportunities throughout the day to allow for free play outside, and lots of dog beds (couches if they're allowed!) throughout the house. I am available for overnight boarding on weekdays and weekends, including holidays. I have a large 1/4 acre fully fenced yard and my own two small dogs, both around 10 pounds, both female (spayed). There is a doggy door to the yard for full and free access to the fenced yard if your dog is able to use the doggy door, if not I have a sliding patio door and man door to let them in and out. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed, yours will be too, unless you prefer they aren't allowed for manners training! My home is puppy proofed (my one dog is a 6 month old puppy), so everything is out of reach and puppy safe. I have 2 sphynx cats as well that love dogs, and the cat litter is behind gates and out of reach for dogs. I have two children, ages 10 and 12. They have grown up with many dogs and cats, we had a busy dog boarding kennel for their entire childhood until we sold it a few years ago.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Edward! He took excellent care of Kim and treated him like family. We loved getting the updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommended!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Wenge and Changhe took amazing care of my pup while I was away, providing plenty of love, attention, and updates. They went above and beyond—not only did my dog come home happy and well-exercised, but they also surprised us with a brand-new collar! It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend was in such great hands. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”
“Emma was amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. Very kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”
“Lynn is great, she is very knowledgeable and she took great care of my border collie Ozzy who is actually tired out! (A rare achievement). Lynn sent tonnes of pictures and a few videos of his day as well.”

“Booth was fantastic! A very kind and genuine person, and took good care of our dog! Very punctual for walks and took him on a nice long walk despite there being a Snow storm. Thanks booth!”
“Megaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. She’s walked my dog twice, both times taking him for a good length and reporting back afterwards. I was able to book her the day before I needed her & would definitely book her again!”
“Kimberly was great! Reliable, friendly, and thorough. She gave us lots of information about her walks. Having Kimberly walk our dog regularly helped us enjoy our March Break, knowing that our dog was in good hands. A tired dog is a good dog, and Kimberly helped us make sure we had a good dog. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
“Adam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dog’s needs into account during challenging conditions, like weather, making sure she stays well. Adam communicates quickly if something arises and is very adaptable to time changes if he is able to accommodate. We completely trust him with our girl and she now looks very forward to seeing her new friend as well. I highly recommend Adam. He has been a godsend to us.”

About: Throughout my entire life, my family has always owned a pet from dogs to cats to even hamsters! So it was only natural that when I got a place of my own, I immediately wanted to own a dog to make the house feel more like home. I have owned two labs in my adult life so far, and the unconditional love that they give you is unlike anything else. After my first dog had passed three years ago, I became obsessed with watching dog training videos from various trainers. I made it my mission to train my new pup to the best of my ability and to give him the best quality of life. When he was young, at times the training seemed hopeless, but in the end, all of the hard work and persistence has paid off. He is such a good dog & walking is so much more enjoyable. Moral of the story is I am a patient, persistent, gentle and kind person. I understand that physical activity is so important to your dogs, physical and mental quality of life. Different interactions & scenery will help stimulate your dog and wear them out. My love for animals & furry companions runs even deeper as I am also an Artist that specializes in Pet Portraits. Honouring those loved ones, through a custom piece of art, that someone can cherish for years fills my soul! I am currently working part-time as a Pilates Instructor and looking to fill in my time with walking dogs in between my fitness classes during the week. I am able to come and pick up your pet and walk them around your neighbourhood or drive them to a new destination to give them mental stimulation in different environmental situations depending on your dogs needs and comfortability. The walk will be tailored to them.
“Katherine was a great help to us while we were away. She came to walk both of our dogs accommodating the individual needs of each dog with walks, cuddles and playtime. We are happy to have a reliable person to call on when we need assistance in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.
“Brianna was awesome and very helpful in walking & feeding our dog while we were away for a few days. He seems quite happy upon our arrival. She definitely went above & beyond and you can tell she is great with dogs.”
About: I have many years of working with dogs professionally, I am currently working full time in the dog walking/training industry. with that i’ve met many different breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs which all i am comfortable with! I am currently in school as well to become a vet tech, so I have some medical knowledge as well! I am mostly available early mornings, evenings, and weekends due to my full time job but please feel free to reach out to see if I’m available outside of those timeframes. I am currently working full time dog in the dog walking/training industry but have a flexible schedule! and would love to see what I can do for you. I have lots of experience caring for animals in their homes as well as my own. I have a property for the animals to run and play on as well as for the check in visits and I have time to come check in on your animals to make sure they are happy and healthy!
About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and currently have pets of my own, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after pets for family and friends, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. As a recent Psychology graduate who works part-time as a suicide crisis responder, I bring a calm, compassionate, and responsible approach to every interaction. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to accommodate regular or occasional bookings whenever possible and thrive on punctuality, communicative and being dependable.always aim to be punctual, communicative, and dependable. As I work from home and always surrounded by my own animals, I want to extend my love and attention to yours, whenever and wherever. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take instructions serious and follow carefully and to exact detail, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I’m attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed, and treat every home with respect. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind!
About: I have had a dog my entire life. From my first dogs being black labs, to a small pug, to adopting a German Shepard lab. I love all dogs.. Big or small, messy or clean, I will take care of your dog and it’s needs. I’ve learned how to train dogs and learned tricks to understanding dogs better when needed. I currently live in St. Mays. I don’t go to school as I have graduated and finished University&College. Your dog will always have company & toys to play with at all hours of the day. I’m currently working full time with the OPP. Always 12 hour shifts, days and nights on a set schedule for the year. No matter what time it is when I have to leave for work or come home from work I will always walk the dogs. Taking them for long walks helps not only the dog but also me. Always having an eye on them and making sure they’re in a safe spot in the house. If there is a spot in the house that isn’t safe for them, I will use a barrier or something to make sure they don’t go to that area of the house. Such as stairs for little puppies, I will make sure to watch them if they’re trying to go up or down or block it off so they don’t have to use them. I make sure they have water 24/7 and have food when they are supposed to be fed. Lots of cuddles of course and making sure they have all the attention they need. Fresh water in the morning, make sure they get fed at the same time as they would at home with their owners. Making sure the pet feels comfortable and safe wherever they are in the house. I will make sure your pet always has water 24/7, they will always be surrounded by cuddles and is allowed anywhere in the house. They are allowed on anything and everything that is in the house.

“Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!”

From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
