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.

About: Hey there! I’m Deanna — animal lover, treat‑giver, walk‑enthusiast, and certified “yes I talk to pets like they’re tiny hairy humans” person. 😄 I’ve had animals my whole life and have looked after pets with all sorts of medical needs. Giving meds? No problem. Special routines? I’m on it. Noticing when your pet is acting a little off? It’s basically my superpower. I’ve raised two puppies from 9 weeks old, so I know all about zoomies, chaos, snuggles, and the “why are you chewing that??” moments. I also adore senior pets — slow walks, soft voices, and gentle care are my jam. I’m pretty active, so if your dog wants adventures, I’m ready. If they prefer couch hangs and snacks… honestly, same. I work part‑time, which means I’ve got flexible availability on weekdays + weekends. I’m also open to overnight stays and weekend pet‑sitting if you need a little getaway. At home I’ve got two cats who are very chill with dogs as long as the dogs aren’t plotting to chase them. For everyone’s safety, I do ask that visiting pets are up to date on flea and tick prevention — gotta keep my furry roommates itch‑free. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and treated like family. Can’t wait to meet your furry sidekick! 🐶🐱💛 I am currently working part time and have open hours to support your pet(s) weekdays and weekends. I am open to over night stays and weekend work. I have 2 cats who are okay with dogs as long as they don't have a prey drive and chase. I would require the pets coming in to have updated flea and tick to protect my babies.

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: 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 !!

“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 😊”

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: It all started with rabbits when I was a 4 year old. My dad bred them and we had well over 60 at one point. I had a pair of baby ducks when I was 8 years old. Then along came my budgie when I was 10. I have a lifelong experience of caring for many different types of pets. In the past I have had rabbits, ducks, a budgie, cockatiels, finches, rats, and aquariums. I took riding lessons as a teen and worked on the horse farm to pay for my lessons. I also have experience with exotic animals as I worked for a short time in a zoo. I have owned 5 dogs. A Husky (who lived to 15), an Australian Shepherd (who passed at age 12 from cancer), a sports mix - Border Collie/Staff/Russel (who passed at 14.5 from CHF), another Australian Shepherd (who passed at 11 from cancer), and I currently have a male Australian Shepherd. I work part time throughout the winter and have a tourism business during the summer. My work schedule is generally 4-6 hour days with a few off during the week. Your pet's care would fit in with my own pet's care. My dog is young and energetic and loves to play with other dogs. We hike most days in the woods surrounding the house. I have a pup who loves other dogs (he would have to come with me for overnight visits). He is playful and affectionate. I have 20 acres of woods to walk in (plus access to my neighbour's trails) and live on a small lake if your dog enjoys swimming. I am very knowledgeable in the care and training of animals, especially dogs and will be taking a first aide course when one comes available. I am very diligent about keeping dogs away from the road and they are always on a leash or longline.

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.

“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.”
