“We are overjoyed with the exceptional care that Sydney provided to our two beloved female beagles during their recent stay in her home. From the moment we met Sydney, it was evident that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, and she treated ours as if they were her own. Sydney welcomed our girls, along with her friendly dog Jessie, into her home with open arms and a genuine warmth that immediately put us at ease. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and photos, showing our dogs happily playing and relaxing together in Sydney's comfortable and safe environment. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our dogs felt at home was remarkable. Sydney's home was immaculate and perfectly set up for dogs, with plenty of space for them to roam and play. It was clear that she prioritized their well-being and happiness throughout their stay. When we picked up our beagles, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time under Sydney's care. We cannot thank Sydney enough for her dedication and love she showed towards our pets. We wholeheartedly recommend Sydney to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog boarder. Thank you, Sydney, for providing such a loving home away from home for our girls!”
“Alexa and Florian were awesome with Sophia. Really took a lot of stress off of my mind knowing she was in great care. The updates were much appreciated and Sophia had a great time. Thank you so much!”
“Catia was amazing with my boy! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, which I loved! She also took him for multiple walks and he came home happy and content. I highly recommend her services. I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs, but I’m glad I found Catia!”
“Robyn did a great job dog sitting our 4 month old Sheepadoodle puppy! She shared videos in a timely manner to keep me updated. I was a little anxious as it was Skye’s first boarding experience and he hasn’t been around a lot of dogs. Robyn has 5 dogs of her own and I’m sure Skye would have had a blast with all of them. Robyn was so positive and even though I know our puppy is a menace lol. Will be definitely booking her in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our puppy.”
“Miryam took amazing care of cooper! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated during his stay which helped put us at ease. Cooper didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Miryam and will be using her again :)”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…Amazing experience!! I would give her more stars if I could. Samantha took exceptional care of Rocky! So glad to have found such a wonderful person on such a large platform. She has a remarkable family who kindly made Rocky feel right at home. So grateful for her putting us at ease during his first overnight visit. Rocky will definitely be returning.”
“I usually leave my dog with family anytime I go away. But with everyone at a family wedding I had to look elsewhere for a dog sitter. I was drawn in by the number of positive reviews that Jeff had as well as the number of repeat customers. Jeff was awesome. He was very responsive prior and set up a meet and greet right away. He sent multiple pictures and small video updates throughout my dog's stay with him. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Trisha was fantastic. It was Charlie’s first experience going to a sitter and I was a little nervous. Tricia’s house is warm and friendly. She greeted us at the door and engaged with Charlie immediately. He even felt comfortable enough to run through the house to get a toy! What I really appreciated was how Trisha asked about Charlie’s likes/dislikes and routine. She works really hard to ensure everything is as consistent and comfortable as possible. When I picked him up the next day he was happy and energetic. Thank you Trisha for making our first Rover experience an awesome one. We look forward to Charlie’s next sleepover with you.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our dog Nora, so we were feeling a little nervous. Naomi and Sam were the perfect choice. They were very accommodating and put us at ease with updates and photos of Nora and Brady having the best time together. We will definitely be using their services again.”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Thanks Betsabe. We had a very good experience with you. My dog was very happy. I loved to see the pictures and videos you sent to us and always keep us updated. Your intelligence and kindness made us feel relaxing and comfortable during our absence. Anybody whoever need her service to care about your furry baby, Betsabe is definitely a must try. Thanks again.”
“I’m so grateful to Jennifer and Brent for taking such good care of my dog, Mishti, while I was away. She can be a little anxious and picky with her food, but they were so patient with her and even hand-fed her to make sure she was eating. They kept me updated throughout, which really helped me feel at ease. I could tell Mishti was in caring hands. They also took her on lovely long walks, which she really enjoyed. Overall, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“Melanie has been boarding my German shepherd River for several months now, and she’s simply just the BEST! She’s very professional, kind and caring, and accommodating. River is always excited to go there to hang out with her dog Tulo and her kids. It’s a huge load off my mind that he’s being well looked after for both short and long stays. Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”
“Our little Bonnie had a wonderful stay with Sandy. Unlike many others we felt 100% happy and confident that our little ball of fluff was well cared for. Bonnie came back very happy and relaxed which is a great sign. Sandy had lots of space to give Bonnie the exercise she needs, being quite an active dog this was great to see. We have certainly found our sitter for bonnie and will be using Sandy again without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had 3 cats in a single house since the start of highschool until I moved back down here. They were my rambunctious rapscallions and I miss them lots. Two brothers and a sister, various amounts of attention needed but I loved them to bits
“Holly is always the best. We feel so at ease when she is over watching our cat! She always makes sure he has a cute night in! I love the pictures and videos she sends. I can always trust her to really treat our bubble like her own pet! Will always recommend Holly :)”
“Lauren was our initial experience with a pet sitter and she exceeded our expectations by being extremely accommodating to our needs, and we look forward to having her care for our two cats again.”
“Collin was wonderful to have looking after my precious Luna. We met before my vacation to put my anxiety to rest. He had my kitty for 9 days and treated her very well. The communication and care he offered was appreciated. I received regular photos and videos during my trip. He even bought her some new toys. I forgot her scratch post when I picked her up and he dropped it off for me subsequently. Thank you so much Collin!”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life. In fact, each member of my family has a cat who owns them. I love all of their unique personalities and I admire their common balance of independence, curiosity and affection.
“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”
“Noor was amazing! Our cats are very shy and usually give us a hard time when meeting new people, so we were nervous about leaving them but Noor was so diligent and loving with them that they warmed up to her quickly. Noor has definitely earned us as loyal customers!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child. We started by taking in strays/being gifted barn cats from friends. Living on a farm we saw many litters born, and as I grew older I realized how important fixing them was, so we started getting all the ones around our home fixed/vaccinated/dewormed. I started trapping kittens from friend’s barns and finding rescues to take them, fostering them in the meantime until they were ready to find a home of their own. I’m looking forward to the company of your pet and playing with them/caring for them. Note: we do have dogs in the home but they stay fully separate from the cat room.
About: I've owned cats all my life and have been cat sitting for friends and family since I was a little kid. I have administered many oral meds and insulin based on your vet's orders. Will brush for free, flea-treat with products you provide. I provide clean bedding/environment for each animal. Unable to take FIV+, sorry.
About: Cats are like Pringles. You can’t have just one. I have 3 of my own floofs, all foster failures. Always happy to provide chin scratches and full body rubs. I also volunteer at the local cat shelter.
About: I’ve cared for my personal and family cats for years. I have experience working in clinic and school program. Pet First Aid Certified. Experienced in basic grooming, washing, nail trimming, administering medications
“Riley took such great care of our two cats while we were away - you could tell she really loved them and has a way of making animals feel comfortable. The boys seemed happy and cared for when we got back. She also took photos daily and a few videos which was much appreciated since we missed them! We would definitely book her again!”

“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie.

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Chelsea, I am a 33-year-old Law Clerk, looking to make some extra money to save for a house!

CATS: I understand that cats need care tailored to their unique personalities - whether that means quiet companionship, playful interaction, or just sticking to their routines. I'm patient and attentive, making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable in their own space. What sets me apart is my ability to read their body language, respect their boundaries and build trust at their pace, so even shy or independent cats feel cared for.

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.

About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals!

I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.

About: I've been taking care of dogs, and my pet's in general for maybe more than 10 years.

My kids and husband are also always around, taking care of the dogs, so you can rest assured when I'm not there. We are a very loving family who will be taking care of your pet all the time. Your pet will have at least 3 to 4 walks a day and playtime many times a day. I work some weekends, and if that's the case when I'm taking care of your pet, you could expect them to be alone for 4 to 8 hours that day, which means 2 walks that day. Once your pet is at my place I will schedule a routine where we could go out three or four times a day and one more time before we I'll go to bed it will have play time and running time around the neighborhood I could drive him to a park close by so he can be safe and always be watched by me so you don't have to be worried about that. I own a dog as well, medium size, very friendly and playful, not neutered, so your pet will have company during the day 😊
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home
“Eileen and Our golden became instant friends. It’s so evident that Eileen is a true pet lover. She’s kind, gentle and enjoys what she does. We were so impressed we’ve already booked her services for an upcoming dog sit.”
About: I grew up in the country caring for all kinds of animals; dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens etc. We raised German Shepherds and a few of their litters. I’ve had animals all my life:) I work 24 hour shifts, 7 days per month. Although I can’t have a dog of my own due to being away for long periods of time I can care for your pet fully on my days off. I have a fully fenced large yard in a family friendly neighbourhood near parks, trails etc. I have two cats and two kids who are pet friendly.

“We are overjoyed with the exceptional care that Sydney provided to our two beloved female beagles during their recent stay in her home. From the moment we met Sydney, it was evident that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, and she treated ours as if they were her own. Sydney welcomed our girls, along with her friendly dog Jessie, into her home with open arms and a genuine warmth that immediately put us at ease. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and photos, showing our dogs happily playing and relaxing together in Sydney's comfortable and safe environment. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our dogs felt at home was remarkable. Sydney's home was immaculate and perfectly set up for dogs, with plenty of space for them to roam and play. It was clear that she prioritized their well-being and happiness throughout their stay. When we picked up our beagles, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time under Sydney's care. We cannot thank Sydney enough for her dedication and love she showed towards our pets. We wholeheartedly recommend Sydney to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog boarder. Thank you, Sydney, for providing such a loving home away from home for our girls!”
“Catia was amazing with my boy! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, which I loved! She also took him for multiple walks and he came home happy and content. I highly recommend her services. I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs, but I’m glad I found Catia!”
“Robyn did a great job dog sitting our 4 month old Sheepadoodle puppy! She shared videos in a timely manner to keep me updated. I was a little anxious as it was Skye’s first boarding experience and he hasn’t been around a lot of dogs. Robyn has 5 dogs of her own and I’m sure Skye would have had a blast with all of them. Robyn was so positive and even though I know our puppy is a menace lol. Will be definitely booking her in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our puppy.”
“Miryam took amazing care of cooper! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated during his stay which helped put us at ease. Cooper didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Miryam and will be using her again :)”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…Amazing experience!! I would give her more stars if I could. Samantha took exceptional care of Rocky! So glad to have found such a wonderful person on such a large platform. She has a remarkable family who kindly made Rocky feel right at home. So grateful for her putting us at ease during his first overnight visit. Rocky will definitely be returning.”
“I usually leave my dog with family anytime I go away. But with everyone at a family wedding I had to look elsewhere for a dog sitter. I was drawn in by the number of positive reviews that Jeff had as well as the number of repeat customers. Jeff was awesome. He was very responsive prior and set up a meet and greet right away. He sent multiple pictures and small video updates throughout my dog's stay with him. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Trisha was fantastic. It was Charlie’s first experience going to a sitter and I was a little nervous. Tricia’s house is warm and friendly. She greeted us at the door and engaged with Charlie immediately. He even felt comfortable enough to run through the house to get a toy! What I really appreciated was how Trisha asked about Charlie’s likes/dislikes and routine. She works really hard to ensure everything is as consistent and comfortable as possible. When I picked him up the next day he was happy and energetic. Thank you Trisha for making our first Rover experience an awesome one. We look forward to Charlie’s next sleepover with you.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our dog Nora, so we were feeling a little nervous. Naomi and Sam were the perfect choice. They were very accommodating and put us at ease with updates and photos of Nora and Brady having the best time together. We will definitely be using their services again.”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Thanks Betsabe. We had a very good experience with you. My dog was very happy. I loved to see the pictures and videos you sent to us and always keep us updated. Your intelligence and kindness made us feel relaxing and comfortable during our absence. Anybody whoever need her service to care about your furry baby, Betsabe is definitely a must try. Thanks again.”
“Melanie has been boarding my German shepherd River for several months now, and she’s simply just the BEST! She’s very professional, kind and caring, and accommodating. River is always excited to go there to hang out with her dog Tulo and her kids. It’s a huge load off my mind that he’s being well looked after for both short and long stays. Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”
“Karen and Jorge were very easy to schedule a stay for my Yorkie Olly. They were interested in making sure he was safe and well cared for. The photos they sent were a very good indicator that Olly felt right at home. The environment is clean and safe and obviously full of love for my Olly. He came home tired from something in spite of the fact they are in an apartment. I will definitely request additional stays for Olly. Karen and Jorge are very kind and caring!! Thanks to them both….”

“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Valerie did such a great job taking care of my senior pup! She communicated well, was super sweet, and very understanding about the extra care a senior pup needs. I could tell Skip was in the best hands while I was away! I definitely recommend Valerie to any dog parent:)”
“It’s my first time that I had to leave Abu, and Stephanie did a really great job taking care of her. I got a lot of pics and videos show Abu’s happy face everyday. Penny is so also caring and I think they make such a cute team! Just adorable.”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
