“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!”
“Samantha and family were fantastic to our Golden - Poppy. Right from drop off, to daily updates and pick up - everything was smooth and we felt so good knowing Poppy was in such good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, with experience looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and boarding, giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and a comfortable home environment. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule and make them feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, affection, and plenty of care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, sitting, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m happy to discuss their usual routine, feeding times, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’m attentive to their well-being throughout their stay and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“Naomi and Sam are wonderful! My 90lbs dog spent the Christmas holidays with them. I couldn’t have hoped for a better family for him. They took him in and treated him as part of their family. My dog hang out with their Labrador and their kids. And, from that picture Naomi sent, we can tell that they formed a special bond. My dog even got gifts from Santa ☺️. We thank Naomi and Sam for everything they did for our 🐶.”
“This was my first experience with getting a professional dog sitter and it was awesome! Jeff went above and beyond any expectations I had about the experience. He shared how my dog was doing and sent adorable pictures and videos. I was a bit weary because my dog is a nervous dog, but Jeff was very confident in his ability to manage my dog and my dog warmed up to him in no time. Jeff is very clearly passionate about caring for dogs in his home. He is also very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of all kinds of dogs. I highly recommend Jeff for your dog sitting needs.”
“She is just amazing, there is no other comment, she took care of my puppy and kept updating me about him. Really thankful for all the great services that she provided”
“I never used Rover before. I was hesitant due to my dogs allergies. Emily was great. Bailey got her meds and recognized Baileys needs with a whenever medication for Bailey. I would recommend her to doggie sit your fur baby,”
“My husband and I were nervous we would not be able to find a sitter for our dog Enzo for our wedding weekend. Enzo is a more advanced dog, and requires more attention than most, due to his aggression with other dogs. From the moment we met Brent and Jennifer, we knew he would be in great hands. Both of them are confident and competent experienced dog owners, and gracefully handled all of Enzo's dog run ins. We received nightly updates and pictures filling us in with what Enzo did that day. It was our first time leaving Enzo alone for more than one night, and were nervous (plus nerves from our upcoming nuptials), but Brent and Jennifer calmed our nerves. I would have them watch Enzo over and over again and recommend them to anyone! It is a shame they do not live in London!”

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
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My childhood cat is still happily with us at 18 years old, and over the years I’ve cared for cats in all kinds of situations, from newborn farm kittens to cats with more specialized needs. Over the past two years, I’ve gained a ton of hands-on experience living full-time with my partner’s cats, including caring for one with feline idiopathic cystitis and asthma. This has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little changes in a cat’s behaviour, comfort, appetite, breathing, and routine. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I also volunteer with the Niagara SPCA, where I get to care for lots and lots of kittens and cats with different personalities and needs. Through my volunteer work, I’ve learned how to gently monitor cats after surgery, including checking their breathing and taking their heart rate by hand without a stethoscope. I’ve also gained experience keeping recovering cats warm and comfortable and watching closely for changes that may need attention. I continue to educate myself about feline body language and behaviour because I believe cats deserve care that respects their individual personalities and boundaries. Whether your cat is social and playful, shy and cautious, or happiest watching the world from a quiet corner, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your cat’s usual routines, give them plenty of individual attention, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your kitty is in good hands. 🐈⬛💕
“Holly is a great sitter who takes amazing care of our cat! She's our first choice when we need a sitter and always provides top notch service. She sends lots of videos, pictures and detailed updates. Very appreciative of the level of care she provides and she's also easy to communicate with and quick to reply.”
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
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.
“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!!!”
“Riley was absolutely wonderful. She sent me regular updates, videos and photos. My pet was so happy when I returned; she made him feel like his owners were never away! I would recommend Riley as a pet sitter to anyone who wants the best possible pet care :)”
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: 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.

We will definitely be using her services again :)”

About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large. I am a childcare provider who is working part time. I have lots of free time during the day to care for your special furry friend. I work part time so have lots of free time to get out and go for walks during the day in all types of weather. We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.

About: I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. I spent several years working professionally in horse care and also have extensive experience with farm sitting and pet care. I currently volunteer with the Niagara SPCA & Humane Society, where I help care for and walk dogs when I can and volunteer at the cat shelter. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. My weekday mornings committed to other work until around noon. I’m happy to provide afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend care depending on availability. Your pets will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I’d want for my own. I am available early morning, afternoons and evenings most days, and will always try to help on short notice. Hope to hear from you soon. Trustworthy, reliable and caring for your pets like they are my own. With regular updates and photos for your peace of mind while in my care.
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! I am very responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and I absolutely LOVE animals! I have volunteered at the SPCA working with a variety of animals, gaining all the experience that comes along with it. DOGS: I am comfortable with any dog type. Big, small, friendly, shy, energetic, lazy- you name it! I can handle any breed, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I can tire out your energetic pooch, or sit down and relax with your fur baby, and make them feel safe and comfortable. My mother also had her own dog walking business, and I thought that with the experience I gained helping her, I could start to help my local friends in the Niagara Region! 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. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand their quirks and routines! I do work full-time, so I offer pet care part-time during the evening and weekends. This gives me the perfect balance to dedicate focused, quality time to your pets. I make sure each visit, walk or overnight stay fits smoothly into my routine, so your dog or cat gets reliable, consistent care without me being rushed or distracted. ***If you live close by, I can fit in a lunchtime dog walk/feed between 12-1 or 1-2! *** When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I will follow your routines closely to make sure your dog or cat feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether its walks, feeding or crate time, I’ll provide reliable, loving care while keeping your home secure.
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.
“Holly was great - she came the day before to meet frank which made me super comfortable to have her taking him out the next day and knowing alll his quirks. Read the weather and what Frankie could do and played with him inbetween. Lots of photos and videos and super obvious she loves dogs and has a way with them because Frank was so happy ! Cant wait to have her back - a great walker for my frankie baby.”
“Emily has continued to be a constant and reliable caregiver for our dog Woody. She is always available and flexible to accommodate us. I feel like she loves woody like we do and she provides us with amazing feedback and suggestions on how to help Woody be the best boy possible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Emily is dedicated, insightful and caring. Thank you Emily !!!”

Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶 Pet care is fully woven into my daily life. I structure my day around the dogs, from morning walks and enrichment activities to playtime, rest, and evening snuggles. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family. I use positive reinforcement, maintain routines, and ensure dogs feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have experience working with dogs that have special behavioural or health needs. This includes dogs who are on a medication schedule, have epilepsy or other health concerns. I have worked with many dogs who need extra care and time to get comfortable with new people, dogs and environments at their own pace.
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
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for over 4 years now and absolutely love all dogs. I have worked with all kinds of dogs. (small, large, well behaved, troubled, and special needs/disabled) I know how to properly handle dogs with different behavioural types. I also have experience giving dogs medications and meeting the expectations of different peoples needs for their dogs. Since I am in school right now my you will have to message for my availability as it is limited, but I will try my best to make it work. I would love to care for your pups and I will give great care attention to them! I will properly follow any instructions given to me for caring for your dog. I am well experienced and have done many different routines for different dogs. I really enjoy taking dogs for walks as well as spending time playing with them as it is great enrichment for them.
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! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. 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 had dog and cats since I was born and so I have years of experience in taking care of them. If your pet is comfortable around my dogs we would love to have them stay for a visit! I am currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time for walks, bathroom breaks, feedings, administering any medication, treat breaks, playing and cuddling. I have a nice fenced in yard with two friendly dogs and two friendly dog and cat loving little girls! I also have a husband who loves and is great with pets and pet care.
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.

My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them.

I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard
About: I've been taking care of dogs, and my pet's in general for maybe more than 10 years. I was the only one in the house responsible for that since I wanted to have a pet and after that I had the chance to take care of my neighbors and Friends dogs when they were away and they always had a great experience with me and my family. at my place you bed will be well take care of and there's always going to be someone there to play with them and it had a great time with your dog walking playing or socializing with the kids and maybe other pets if they're available that day I'm at home all day, so no need to worry; your pet will have my full attention. 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 😊

“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“Naomi and Sam are wonderful! My 90lbs dog spent the Christmas holidays with them. I couldn’t have hoped for a better family for him. They took him in and treated him as part of their family. My dog hang out with their Labrador and their kids. And, from that picture Naomi sent, we can tell that they formed a special bond. My dog even got gifts from Santa ☺️. We thank Naomi and Sam for everything they did for our 🐶.”
“This was my first experience with getting a professional dog sitter and it was awesome! Jeff went above and beyond any expectations I had about the experience. He shared how my dog was doing and sent adorable pictures and videos. I was a bit weary because my dog is a nervous dog, but Jeff was very confident in his ability to manage my dog and my dog warmed up to him in no time. Jeff is very clearly passionate about caring for dogs in his home. He is also very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of all kinds of dogs. I highly recommend Jeff for your dog sitting needs.”
“I never used Rover before. I was hesitant due to my dogs allergies. Emily was great. Bailey got her meds and recognized Baileys needs with a whenever medication for Bailey. I would recommend her to doggie sit your fur baby,”
“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….”
“Betsabe and her family were sensational to our little fur baby. He had so much fun and went on several walks. I loved having the peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. I highly recommend!!”
