“Tammy watched my in-laws new puppy during my wedding week. My in-laws were nervous to leave their young pup but Tammy sent pictures during her stay which helped keep them comfortable knowing Pepper was well taken care of. They were soooo happy with how well Pepper was taken care of and would happily leave Pepper with Tammy again any time. Thank you a million times Tammy!!”
“Our 2 Bassetts had a great weekend with Andi Lynn and family. We were kept updated with photos and feedback. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Henry had a great time with Amanda and her family. They took good care of him and he loved running in the back yard. The photos she sent daily were so appreciated. We will board with her again!”
“I have a very shy little rescue dog, part chihuahua and part whippet. She was coddled, loved, walked, and loved for the eight days that I was away. The socialization helped greatly with her shyness and I have no hesitation about having Gabrielle look after her again! Lise A. Belleville”
“Betty is usually pretty nervous, however taking her to Bryan and Raisa were so welcoming, they sent daily updates to ease my worries! 100% use them again!”
“Allyson and her family were absolutely fabulous with Chica\! From the very beginning, Allyson’s communication was stellar—she was incredibly responsive, kind, and so accommodating, especially when I had to make last\-minute changes to drop\-off and pick\-up times\. They sent me lots of pictures throughout Chica’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for\. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’ve already booked Chica’s next stay with Allyson and her family\! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and caring home for their pet\. 🐾❤️”
“I have used Kasi for both day time sitting and overnight for a weekend. Both times my puppy seemed to have had a great time, excited to go back the next day and was very tired after a couple of days of play time with her dogs. Will use Kasi again.”
“I was so happy to find Loghan - he was amazing with Lizzy. She had loads of dogs to play with and was well looked after. Loghan was really communicative and responsive. He was also a lifesaver when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get home. Knowing that Liz was happy and safe made a stressful situation much easier. We’d have no problem recommending Loghan to anyone.”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“Meaghen and her girls were great with Dyson! He was comfortable and so happy there. We are lucky we found her last minute and she took him in without hesitation. We will definitely ask Meaghen to watch Dyson again during our next stay in Cobourg!”
About: We’ve spent most of our lives around dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our home. We’ve raised one of our dogs since he was just 6 weeks old, and he’s now over 13 years old. We’ve also cared for a blind, diabetic dog for many years, giving us hands-on experience with senior and special-needs care, including daily insulin injections, eye drops, medication routines, and the extra patience and attention older pets often need. Between us, we have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Huskies and Great Pyrenees. We also shared our home for two years with a Treeing Walker Coonhound and a Beagle alongside our own dogs and cats, giving us experience with energetic hounds and managing a busy multi-pet household. We’ve raised our two cats since they were kittens, and we both have years of experience living with and caring for cats. We’re comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and care needs. We tend to connect naturally with animals and pay close attention to their behaviour, routines, and comfort. We understand that every pet is different, and we’re happy to adapt our care to what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we’re both home-based. One of us is a stay-at-home parent, homeschooler, and homemaker, while the other has worked from home for the past 10 years. That means our household already has a consistent presence throughout the day. With two dogs and two cats of our own, including a senior dog with special medical needs, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, playtime, attention, and general pet care are already built into our everyday schedule. Because we’re home so much of the day, we can provide regular attention and supervision rather than trying to squeeze pet care in around long periods away from the house. We’ll still only accept bookings when we know we can comfortably meet each pet’s individual routine and needs. Our home sits on five mostly forested acres at the end of a quiet street, with a very large front and backyard and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Our property is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always managed according to their individual needs, using leashes or supervised long lines/tethers when appropriate. Inside, we have a lot of flexibility to make visiting pets comfortable. Our large walkout basement is a quiet, low-traffic area with direct outdoor access and can be separated from the main floor with a baby gate. This gives us the option to keep a visiting dog with us downstairs while our children or resident pets remain upstairs if extra separation is needed. We also have a rarely used guest room that can provide a quiet, private space for a visiting pet. Our cats are used to dogs and are very good at finding their own quiet spaces when they want them. They can retreat to areas such as our bedroom, which visiting pets are not allowed to access. Our resident dogs can also be separated when necessary, including the use of a secure crate for our blind senior dog, who typically spends most of his day quietly sleeping nearby anyway. We spend a lot of nice-weather weekends outside on our property, so dogs who enjoy being outdoors can join us while remaining safely supervised. We know that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. Before accepting a stay, we want to understand those needs so we can decide how best to arrange our home and make the experience safe, calm, and comfortable for everyone.

“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”
About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.

“Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring and keeping dogs company since I was 17. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and provide loving companionship for their pups.

I’m fully available on both weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I live in a house with a patio and unfenced yard, offering plenty of space both indoors and outdoors.

“I have had Kat watch my cats several times. It is so nice to be able to get away and KNOW that your babies are being treated the way you yourself would treat them. Kat is truly one of a kind-she has a sensitive, gentle , loving spirit and she has earned my trust (which is not easy to do).”
About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.
“Olivia is the BEST my cat LOVES her! Her communication and care makes me feel at ease when leaving my clingy, attention seeking cat for longer periods. Thank you Olivia! OC can't wait to see you soon!”
About: I've always lived with cats most of my life as ive lived in an apartment. I currently have a cat and her name is Poppy, I recently got her a few years ago and she is the first cat ive had that will actually play fetch with her spring toys, its so cute ^.^
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to look after your house plants and provide light house cleaning, gardening, grass and snow removal.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and have experience with puppies and seniors, as well experience taking care of very sick doggos. I love the outdoors, and take my 3 dogs on trail walks all the time! I have a bachelors degree in Biology, partial respiratory therapy training, CPR certification, and dog/cat First Aid & CPR. I am currently taking courses to become a certified dog trainer :) I currently work very part-time hours (mostly just every other weekend), and I am a morning person! I am available most weekdays to walk or sit your dog! I live in a rural area with a nice big yard (not fenced in). I have 3 friendly dogs, and 2 cats! I feed most of my pets twice a day, and can take them out for as many potty breaks as necessary. I have a crate and playpen if needed!
About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
“Would absolutely book again. Kayleigh was very informative about our cats - their behaviour, habits, energy levels, etc. - through descriptions and pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort being away from them for so long.”
“Vanessa took excellent care of our cat Meeko while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that Meeko had everything she needed, and was very gentle and patient with her; our cat is quite shy, but Vanessa managed to bring her out of her shell quickly, which is an impressive feat! Vanessa was friendly, polite, and communicative all the way through, and we came home to a very healthy and happy kitty! We will definitely be inviting her back next time we go away - highly recommend.”
About: I have always loved taking care of pets, whether it be walking dogs, pet sitting for friends or overnight house/pup sitting. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I just moved back to Belleville and am relatively flexible! I am in between jobs so am more than happy to spend lots of time playing with your pup(s). I am also able to travel if it is a house sitting gig (Kingston, Toronto, Montreal, PEC etc. ) so reach out if you have something in mind! Willing to be flexible to the dogs needs! I am active and love going on walks and can do so as often as needed !!

“Loghan is awesome, great communication and easy to reach. He sends pictures during Leo's stay which I really appreciate. Leo loves going over to Loghans for a stay! Thank you so much.”
“Marta was amazing with both dog and cat. I have a senior dog and Marta was able to handle him perfectly. We couldn’t find a sitter for our cat and because my cat has not had a good time with a sitter before, he is very skittish and has some separation anxiety. We asked Marta if she would be able to accommodate the cat too and she was very understanding. Amazing part is when we took my cat to meet them, the cat just loved her daughter, I have never seen that cat like someone so fast (not even my husband). I was very comfortable leaving both my babies with Marta, I got pictures all day. We would definitely be looking to book again with Marta. ❤️”
“My experience with Tammy was exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Tammy genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with photos and messages, showing me how happy Milo was playing with the others. Overall, I highly recommend Tammy to anyone looking for a loving and safe environment for their furry friend.”
“Kasi is open and very easy to communicate. She cares about our pup, and makes sure our pup has what he needs to feel like home. She also shared photos with us which put a big smile on our face. We'll be back with Kasi when we need help next time.”
“Gabrielle is so sweet. My husband and I had a JW convention to attend in Belleville and we needed somewhere safe for our fur baby to stay. Gabrielle was just what we needed! She fully prepares you for what’s involved and how she and her daughter take care of your pup during the doggy daycare. My little guy is a mini Cockapoo, and they did well with introducing them and monitoring the situation so that they all were able to play together and get along. Thank you so much for your honesty and care! You guys rock. Highly recommend. I’d leave my dog with Gabrielle again anytime.”
About: As a devoted dog mom to a 5-year-old pug and former pet parent to a Cocker Spaniel, I bring a lifetime of love and hands on animal care experience to every visit. Whether it's keeping up with active dog walking routines, providing specialized care like administering medications, or keeping your pets fresh with bathing, you can count on me to treat your furry family members with the utmost patience, safety, and affection. As a full-time teacher, my schedule is wonderfully open during the summer months, allowing me to be home full-time to give your pets round-the-clock attention, companionship, and care. During the school year, my routine is structured around my teaching hours, but I am fully dedicated to maintaining consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules before and after school, ensuring your pets always feel secure and prioritized. In my quiet country setting close to Rice Lake, pets enjoy a relaxing getaway featuring scenic walks on nearby trails and plenty of companionship from my friendly 5 year old pug. Whether staying in my home where animals are treated like family and fully welcomed onto the furniture and our bed or receiving visits in yours, your pets will experience a loving, comfortable, and attentive environment tailored to their daily routines.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets, and spending time with them is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s slow morning walks, playtime, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.
“Whiskey had a great time! He loved playing with Milo. Bryan and Raisa were available short notice which was super convenient. Great space and an obvious dog loving couple. We won’t hesitate to book again if we are in the area!”
About: I had a family dog for 13 years. I have been on rover for a couple of years now and I have had all different kind of experiences through the app. I have had many different dog walking clients from puppies to senior dogs. I have done house sittings anywhere from 1 night to 5 week long stays, I’ve even just dropped in for a few hours to keep your animals company and take them on walks. I have looked after all kinds of dogs and cats and even chickens. I am so passionate about animals and making sure your animals are comfortable and happy during your time away! I just recently got 2 puppies so I have been training them and looking after them so I have recent experience with puppies as well. I currently am working part time but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate for your needs. If your animals can only be left alone for a certain amount of time I am more than happy to work around those hours. I typically don’t do house sitting in my own house. I feel it’s best for the animals to stay at their house so it’s an easier transition into having me look after them. The animal is typically a lot more comfortable having someone new around if it’s in their own home from my experience.

About: I've had dogs in my life for 40 years and truly love having them around. In recent years I've owned senior rescue dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine and gentle attention can be. Whether a dog is playful or just needs a place to happily chill, I make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I take dogs in when you're travelling or need occasional dog sitting, rather than permanent dog care. Because I work from home, dogs fit very naturally into my daily routine. They get plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks in my fenced yard and relaxed time inside the house with me throughout the day. I enjoy walking with them, playtime and quiet companionship. Your dog will stay in a calm, safe and loving home where they can relax and feel comfortable. They will have plenty of outdoor breaks in my fenced yard as well as regular walks. I pay close attention to their personality and routine so they feel safe, cared for and right at home while you're away. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your dog will have my full attention.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and I truly can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood—including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherd mixes—and loved them through every stage of life until their senior years. I’ve also cared for cats for more than 25 years, including fostering pregnant mothers and nursing newborn kittens. What really sets me apart is my experience with pets that need extra care: elderly, injured, or special-needs animals who require patience, strength, and compassion. Through volunteering with LAWS and the Humane Society, I’ve had the privilege of supporting animals in all kinds of situations. I’m active, reliable, and strong—I go to the gym regularly—and I’ll bring that same energy, love, and dedication to caring for your pets as if they were my own. Now that I’m semi retired, I have all the time in the world to dedicate to something I truly love—caring for animals. My days are wide open, which means I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favourite pastimes, and it brings me joy to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed cuddle session with a senior cat, an energetic walk with a playful dog, or checking in throughout the day, I have the flexibility and the heart to give your pets the attention they deserve. When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I keep a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, attention, and plenty of time for play or rest depending on their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, administering medications, or keeping up with favourite activities. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to keep their day-to-day life as familiar and stress-free as possible. No matter the setting, I give each pet the patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own.

About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.
“So happy to have found Olivia. We had a face to face meet up prior to the first booking and I felt totally comfortable to have her in my home. She comes to take my 2 dogs out for either 30-60mins depending on the day. She also helps to feed my pup at that time. They are nice and exercised when I get home from work ! She communicates when she is on her way, with the dogs and finished the walk ! She even helped me out with a 1 day notice booking. Would recommend her to anyone !”
“Kat is an amazing hiuse/animal sitter. She goes above whats expected and keeps in close contact throughout her stay and sends lots of updates and pictures. She is very personable and clearly cares for your animals.”
“Natalya, came on fairly short notice to help walk our very energetic dog. She was great to communicate with and kept us in the loop with lots of pictures and videos. She was punctual and knew how to work with my hound and not . I came home to one very relaxed and happy dog! She was great to work with and would definitely recommend. Great service :)”
“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

“Tammy watched my in-laws new puppy during my wedding week. My in-laws were nervous to leave their young pup but Tammy sent pictures during her stay which helped keep them comfortable knowing Pepper was well taken care of. They were soooo happy with how well Pepper was taken care of and would happily leave Pepper with Tammy again any time. Thank you a million times Tammy!!”
“Our 2 Bassetts had a great weekend with Andi Lynn and family. We were kept updated with photos and feedback. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Betty is usually pretty nervous, however taking her to Bryan and Raisa were so welcoming, they sent daily updates to ease my worries! 100% use them again!”
“I have used Kasi for both day time sitting and overnight for a weekend. Both times my puppy seemed to have had a great time, excited to go back the next day and was very tired after a couple of days of play time with her dogs. Will use Kasi again.”
“I was so happy to find Loghan - he was amazing with Lizzy. She had loads of dogs to play with and was well looked after. Loghan was really communicative and responsive. He was also a lifesaver when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get home. Knowing that Liz was happy and safe made a stressful situation much easier. We’d have no problem recommending Loghan to anyone.”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“Meaghen and her girls were great with Dyson! He was comfortable and so happy there. We are lucky we found her last minute and she took him in without hesitation. We will definitely ask Meaghen to watch Dyson again during our next stay in Cobourg!”
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”
About: We’ve spent most of our lives around dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our home. We’ve raised one of our dogs since he was just 6 weeks old, and he’s now over 13 years old. We’ve also cared for a blind, diabetic dog for many years, giving us hands-on experience with senior and special-needs care, including daily insulin injections, eye drops, medication routines, and the extra patience and attention older pets often need. Between us, we have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Huskies and Great Pyrenees. We also shared our home for two years with a Treeing Walker Coonhound and a Beagle alongside our own dogs and cats, giving us experience with energetic hounds and managing a busy multi-pet household. We’ve raised our two cats since they were kittens, and we both have years of experience living with and caring for cats. We’re comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and care needs. We tend to connect naturally with animals and pay close attention to their behaviour, routines, and comfort. We understand that every pet is different, and we’re happy to adapt our care to what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we’re both home-based. One of us is a stay-at-home parent, homeschooler, and homemaker, while the other has worked from home for the past 10 years. That means our household already has a consistent presence throughout the day. With two dogs and two cats of our own, including a senior dog with special medical needs, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, playtime, attention, and general pet care are already built into our everyday schedule. Because we’re home so much of the day, we can provide regular attention and supervision rather than trying to squeeze pet care in around long periods away from the house. We’ll still only accept bookings when we know we can comfortably meet each pet’s individual routine and needs. Our home sits on five mostly forested acres at the end of a quiet street, with a very large front and backyard and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Our property is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always managed according to their individual needs, using leashes or supervised long lines/tethers when appropriate. Inside, we have a lot of flexibility to make visiting pets comfortable. Our large walkout basement is a quiet, low-traffic area with direct outdoor access and can be separated from the main floor with a baby gate. This gives us the option to keep a visiting dog with us downstairs while our children or resident pets remain upstairs if extra separation is needed. We also have a rarely used guest room that can provide a quiet, private space for a visiting pet. Our cats are used to dogs and are very good at finding their own quiet spaces when they want them. They can retreat to areas such as our bedroom, which visiting pets are not allowed to access. Our resident dogs can also be separated when necessary, including the use of a secure crate for our blind senior dog, who typically spends most of his day quietly sleeping nearby anyway. We spend a lot of nice-weather weekends outside on our property, so dogs who enjoy being outdoors can join us while remaining safely supervised. We know that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. Before accepting a stay, we want to understand those needs so we can decide how best to arrange our home and make the experience safe, calm, and comfortable for everyone.
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”
About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.
About: *Calendar shows general availability but I must meet you and your pet prior to booking! No bookings are guaranteed until we have had a meet and greet. Rates are high to reflect the app's fees and are only for the first walk.* I have been a professional self-employed dog walker for over 15 years. I am currently seeking new pups for group walks, private walks, puppy visits and boarding in my home on a select basis this winter. Also available and experienced in drop in care for cats and other small pets. Check me out on Instagram cheesedogs.po :) I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter through the winter. I currently have space in my afternoon group walk for the right dog(s), and I have a lot of availability in mornings, midday, and late afternoons for private walks, puppy visits, and cat care. My dog walks are exclusively on leash. The afternoon pack plays off-leash in a secure, fenced in yard and then we have a leashed walk together. I train dogs to walk loose leash. For boarding, dogs must be small dog friendly and have zero prey drive. They must sleep in a crate but are free to roam my apartment when I am home to supervise. We always use leashes for pee breaks and walks from my home.
“My dog Ruby LOVED staying with Dayna and got along wonderfully with Tokyo. Dayna kept me reassured with cute photos of Ruby and welcomed my dog into her home like one of the family.”
“Lindsay and her family were amazing. They were so kind and caring, and made Alfie feel right at home. I will not hesitate to send my pup to Lindsay again and am very grateful for the love and care she gave to Alfie.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life having grew up around multiple dog breeds both male and female!

“Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!”
