“Our 11 month old whoodle had a blast with Allison and Scott. Ember is a very social pup and it was like staying at camp for her! We were given a tour of their amazing property before our first booking was confirmed. During her stay we received lots of photo and video updates. Ember came home a very tired and happy pup, took 3 days to recover from her “puppy hangover”. Happy to have found our new go-to boarder!”
“Hi Jean. Thank you again for watching our puppy a second time while we are away onna 10 day vacation. We appreciate your puppy guidance while we grow with our new furry family member. We also appreciate all the photos sent while we were away and hope that our next visit he'll be a more mature doggy for you to watch. Thanks again.”
“We were very fortunate to have Natalie look after our rambunctious 1 yr old Lab Beau for a week while we were on vacation. She was very patient with him as were her dogs Sawyer and Daphne. She kept us updated and assured us he was settling down - eventually ?. He returned home happy and tired - a sign of a great holiday!”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”

The pictures alone says it all and who knew she would like cats lol. . Catherine was warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end . Luna will be back there soon. My luna was in good hands. Thank you 😊”

“Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.”

Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have decades of cat and dog experience. Recently, our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and I am hoping helping others' pets can help fill the void. I raised a dog from puppyhood, fostered a rescue, and have dogsat several family and friends' dogs. For now, I can offer evening, overnight and weekend pet care. My aim is to work from home full-time and so eventually I will be able to do more! All food, toys, walks, crating, etc. will be to your instructions. Safe playing is a great time to get to know each other. I am very much the "mom" when I have to be - dogs usually respond well to my queues, and I am available as a safe place for them. My place is an apartment above a couple shops downtown Elora. There are lots of green area or trails around the neighbourhood. There are three kids here 50% of the time (ages 10-15) who are experienced with pets. There are no other animals here.
“Kim is a great dog sitter who really cares about the dogs in her care. I received photos, videos and updates throughout they’re stay with her which allowed me to truly enjoy my time away for a family celebration of my granddaughter’s wedding”
“Kaya, our GSD, always has the best time with Deborah! It’s great to be able to go on vacation out of the country for a week and not worry at all about our dog. Deborah gives regular updates with photos and videos, and she takes Kaya on great adventures/outings. Kaya is always tuckered out when she comes home! We are so glad we found Deborah 🧡”
“Deepti is a wonderful host for Moxie. My pup is always excited to see her and gets lots of love and attention. The communication is always great from beginning to end and Deepti is very flexible.”

About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.
About: I have had a lifelong experience with many animals. Having owned my own pup since she was a baby, I understand the unique challenges and joys of raising a dog. Additionally, growing up with two family owned dogs, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, chickens, and cats I have been given me a wealth of hands-on knowledge in different breeds and personalities. This background not only enhances my ability to connect with animals of all ages but also ensures that I can provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your animals will feel right at home with me! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. With two dogs, I start each day with food, walks and playtime, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule also includes dedicated time for feeding and caring for our guinea pigs, cats, and ferrets, making sure each animal receives the love and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, following their feeding and exercise schedules. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and daily walks. I also keep the home clean and secure, monitoring for any safety hazards. Regular updates and communication with pet owners are key, ensuring they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Don't leave them alone. I'm Yohana, an animal lover with 5 years of experience. I offer walks, cuddles, and unconditional companionship. Your pet will be treated like family! I'm not working since I just arrived in Canada! I have free time to spend with your best friend and enjoy some nice walks together. I have experience in pet care and understand the needs of pets I know how make them feel safe, happy and calm with me .
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have over 15 years of experience working with all kinds — dogs, cats, and plenty of farm animals too. Living on a farm means I’m used to every personality and energy level, from playful pups to calm seniors. I have two well-behaved, playful dogs of my own and a large property where they can safely run and explore. I’m super flexible and will do whatever makes your pet feel most at home once they’re here — whether that’s extra playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine. When your pets stay with us, they’re part of the family too. I’m available Fridays through Mondays, plus the occasional weekday if needed. Your dogs will get tons of outdoor time, play, and attention while they’re here. I’m flexible with pickup and drop-off times and happy to adjust to whatever fits your schedule best. We live on a large farm property with lots of open space for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. Both of my dogs are well-trained with great recall and have never wandered off the property. That being said, if your pup is more comfortable on a leash, I’m happy to accommodate that — we have trails on the property that are perfect for long walks and sniffing adventures. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home here — they’re free to curl up on the couch for cuddles or lounge wherever they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or rules your dog is used to at home, whether that means crating, specific feeding times, or anything that helps them feel secure and settled. Every pet that stays with us is treated like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and care.

“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”

I naturally form a bond with cats—they often love me right away, and I feel a genuine connection, treating each one as if they were my own. I can also provide references or links to previous client reviews for peace of mind.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I retired in 2020 and returned to college to receive my Registered Veterinary Technician diploma in 2023. I have been a foster parent to hundreds of animals over my lifetime, specializing in animals who require medication and specialized medical care. I am retired and available to watch your pet at any time. Last minute and longer term care remains an option. I do travel on occasion but this would be communicated with plenty of notice. I have just moved to the Fergus area and reside in a park-setting which has a fenced leash free area on site. There is a lake should your pup like the water! I can accommodate crate trained animals however my general thinking is that your pet would be like my own were, snuggling on the bed or couch. I realize how important consistency and routine is to your pets wellbeing and would ensure that your routines are followed should I be staying at your home.
“Bentley had another great day today with Scott and Allison. He loves his time there and we love knowing that he is having fun and is being so well cared for. A fantastic place for any dog to visit!”
“Lovely home and backyard.Was a new fun experience for Dashiell. The sweet photos that were sent ,at least 10 made a good impression. Dashiell stay was short and sweet. Margarida is a good doggie caregiver. She has a good family for doggie care. Thank you Margarida”
About: We’re a dog loving family of four with pugs and a St. Bernese! Our kids love all dogs and can’t wait to give cuddles and snuggles to all their new friends! I am a recess and lunch supervisor at school so I only work 40 minutes two times a day! I'm home a lot to give your dog(s) plenty of playtime and attention! We have a big backyard and I always supervise the dogs when they are out for their playtime! We also have a big front yard where I do short leash walks and live on a quiet gravel road for much longer leash walks. Dogs can be crated at night if that's the usual routine, or have their choice of beds to sleep in - my kids LOVE when dogs choose to cuddle with them at night!
“Milo had a great time with Adam and Ester and kids. He seemed relaxed and calm when I picked him up and seemed to be having a nice time. They sent pictures and messages updating me throughout the day so I was able to relax knowing he was being well taken care of. This was a great experience using Rover for the first time and I will definitely book with Adam and Ester again soon!”

“Every single interaction with Warren and Angelika is amazing. My puppy gets excited when we’re going down there, and is practically leaping out of my arms at the door. She comes home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure the days she doesn’t go, she’s judging me for not being as fun at Warren’s. :) I feel genuinely blessed to have found Warren. I feel totally sure that she’s being treated well, and have no anxiety at all. That’s worth more than gold!”

About: Growing up, I started my own dog-walking business in my neighborhood, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger and evolved into extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a proud owner of Bengal cats, I understand the unique needs, energy levels, intelligence, and personalities that different pets require. I am comfortable providing enrichment, play, exercise, feeding, medication administration, and attentive daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I also have experience training and caring for a high-drive Doberman Pinscher, which has given me valuable knowledge in obedience training, structure, exercise requirements, and managing intelligent, energetic breeds. Working closely with a breed that thrives on consistency and engagement has strengthened my skills in reading canine behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. I naturally connect with pets, understand their body language, and recognize when they need comfort, play, space, or reassurance. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a reliable caregiver, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while you're away, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Work from home/self employment makes caring for animals a breeze! It also allows for the consistency they need and desire for breaks and play time. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, secure, and closely supervised environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When walking dogs, I always keep them safely leashed unless they are in a fully fenced and secure area approved by their owner. I am highly attentive during walks and outings, ensuring dogs are protected from potential hazards and are always under my supervision. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I am especially mindful of nervous, anxious, reactive, or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues, allowing me to recognize potential triggers before they become stressful situations. Whether a dog needs extra patience, space from other dogs, a quieter walking route, or additional reassurance, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe and confident. My experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and positive reinforcement. I take the time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel at home. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where their well-being always comes first.

“Jean was absolutely lovely and incredibly understanding. She clearly knows exactly what she’s doing and was so knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Piper came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved after spending time with Jean and the other pups.”
“Deborah-Lynn took wonderful care of my 2 dogs. From the moment we met it was evident that her love for animals is second to none. We have a senior with heart condition and a puppy that has endless energy and Deborah-Lynn navigated their needs and provided excellent accommodations for their individual needs. She communicated frequently through the day, kept me updated and demonstrated care and kindness. She reinforced training, especially with the puppy and shared valuable insights with me to help me support when home. The boys had such a terrific time they’re going to be going back next week. I interviewed and met several dog care providers and Deborah-Lynn stood out amongst all.”
“Excellent communication and flexibility. Jennifer and Jason’s home is a dog paradise. Yvie had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend their daycare service. They are both very knowledgeable and caring dog owners. Yvie even got so comfortable that she ate all her food during the day! Thank you both for helping her overcome some of her anxiety.”
“Tucker came home happy and tired. We needed a get-away and he needed to play with another dog. We all ended up happy! Deborah made Tuck very welcome and her relaxed manner reassured me that she and Tucker would get along fine. I am so happy we found her!”
“John's communication was great, from initial contact to pick up. He was very excited to be able to show off all of Moxie's walks on her Rover card. She got lots of activity and enjoyed John's backyard. Thanks a lot!”
“Great experience! Easy drop off and pick up, they were very flexible and great communication with our 15 week old puppy! He was exhausted he slept the whole ride home. Would use again and very happy!”

On the day of she reconfirmed the booking, showed up on time, went for a very nice long walk with our dog and made sure everything was closed and locked on her way out. The report after the walk had nice photos too! We will be booking again with her in the future!”

Every pet that stays with us is treated like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and care.
About: I am an experienced and trustworthy dog walker and pet caregiver with 10+ years experience. My family has always owned a dog, which is where my dog walking experience began. Growing up, I would walk and pet sit for family, friends, and neighbours and still do! I have experience with all different types and sizes of dogs, with all different types of temperaments. I also am familiar with senior and anxious dogs as I have cared for both in the past. I work from home Monday-Friday which allows me to have lots of flexibility. I can provide long walks over lunchtime and in the evenings, as well as quicker potty breaks throughout the day! Longer visits throughout the day can be arranged, as I can work where the wifi is! All of the dogs my family and I have owned have been well taken care of and loved for. They have always gotten all the walks, playtime, and high quality food they deserve. I will always adhere to the rules you have for your pets. I understand each pet is different and the importance of consistency!
About: Hi, I'm Chelsey! I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience spanning in-home care, board and train programs, and doggy daycares. I share my own home with three dogs and two cats, so animals aren't just my work, they're my life. I'll be honest, I love animals more than most people, and every decision I make during the day is based on what's best for the pets in my care. I'm experienced with a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, prong collars, and Gentle Leader walks, and I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from sweet, wiggly puppies to dogs who prefer not to be touched. I'm doing this because I genuinely love meeting new furry friends, and my long-term goal is to build my own business in the animal care world. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! This would be my career, I would do this full time. I would make my schedule around the best intrest of my clients with flexible hours I have a large fenced in yard, i have a large park across the street from my house my dogs like to play offlwash on (i would have dogs on long lines if I was to bring them there) my husband is hone full time and we would work as a team to care for the animals the way the need. If that means I take my dogs to the park and your pup gets human love thats what we'll do. My dogs are very friendly and go to doggy daycare they are both fixed 1 female 1 male female is 3 this year my boy will be 2. They lost their sister last year and are always looking to make friends.
About: Hey, I got my start in dog training with my puppy, Hugo, a highly driven Australian Shepherd. I kept running into challenges, and it felt like our relationship couldn’t improve. So, I decided to take an extensive six-month dog training apprenticeship at NobleK9. After that, I worked as a kennel tech, gaining even more hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a balanced dog trainer, which means I use a mix of reinforcement and clear structure to help dogs become well-behaved and confident! Now, I offer private training and dog walking in Kitchener, focusing on real-world results that make life easier for both you and your dog. If you ever have any questions, I’d be more than happy to have a chat! 😊 The great thing is my schedule is very flexible, so feel free to reach out to arrange a meet and greet! Usually I’m either training dogs or walking them! I worked at a dog training facility so I am very knowledgeable in dog body language and how to keep them safe and happy on walks/visits.
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

About: PET CARE EXPERIENCE I’ve been around animals my whole life — from dogs to hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and cats — and have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with gentle handling, enclosure cleaning, basic feeding routines, and adjusting care to each pet’s energy, behavior, and routine. I genuinely enjoy learning each animal’s quirks and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, stimulated, and happy. With dogs, I like to incorporate mental enrichment through games and basic trick training — but only if you’re comfortable with it. I use hand gestures paired with verbal cues for clear, positive communication. Some fun commands I’ve worked on include: • “Statue” – freeze in place • “Quiet” – settle and stay calm • “Kiss” – stand still and allow a gentle kiss on the top of the pup’s head • “Out” / “Get your toy” / “In” – for toy retrieval and clean-up routines I previously offered in-home boarding but now focus solely on caring for pets in their own homes. That experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m reopening my availability and excited to welcome new clients again. I’ve worked with pet parents through Rover and personal referrals, and I’m committed to providing dependable, respectful care. I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which gives me the availability to prioritize pet care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is energetic or reserved, I follow their routine, respect their personality, and ensure they feel safe, mentally engaged, and cared for while you’re away. SCHEDULE I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which allows me to fit pet care smoothly into my weekly routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Since I don’t work a traditional 9–5, I can provide attentive, reliable care — whether that’s multiple visits per day or overnight stays in your home. Your pet will always have someone calm, present, and focused on their comfort and routine. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay relaxed and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and downtime — so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I used to offer boarding in my home and have experience creating safe, calm spaces for pets. While I no longer board animals at my own residence, that experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and respond to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. I take pet care seriously and treat every home with respect — I’m clean, mindful of your space, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

“Our 11 month old whoodle had a blast with Allison and Scott. Ember is a very social pup and it was like staying at camp for her! We were given a tour of their amazing property before our first booking was confirmed. During her stay we received lots of photo and video updates. Ember came home a very tired and happy pup, took 3 days to recover from her “puppy hangover”. Happy to have found our new go-to boarder!”
“Hi Jean. Thank you again for watching our puppy a second time while we are away onna 10 day vacation. We appreciate your puppy guidance while we grow with our new furry family member. We also appreciate all the photos sent while we were away and hope that our next visit he'll be a more mature doggy for you to watch. Thanks again.”
“We were very fortunate to have Natalie look after our rambunctious 1 yr old Lab Beau for a week while we were on vacation. She was very patient with him as were her dogs Sawyer and Daphne. She kept us updated and assured us he was settling down - eventually ?. He returned home happy and tired - a sign of a great holiday!”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”

Thank you 😊”

About: I have decades of cat and dog experience. Recently, our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and I am hoping helping others' pets can help fill the void. I raised a dog from puppyhood, fostered a rescue, and have dogsat several family and friends' dogs. For now, I can offer evening, overnight and weekend pet care. My aim is to work from home full-time and so eventually I will be able to do more! All food, toys, walks, crating, etc. will be to your instructions. Safe playing is a great time to get to know each other. I am very much the "mom" when I have to be - dogs usually respond well to my queues, and I am available as a safe place for them. My place is an apartment above a couple shops downtown Elora. There are lots of green area or trails around the neighbourhood. There are three kids here 50% of the time (ages 10-15) who are experienced with pets. There are no other animals here.
“Kaya, our GSD, always has the best time with Deborah! It’s great to be able to go on vacation out of the country for a week and not worry at all about our dog. Deborah gives regular updates with photos and videos, and she takes Kaya on great adventures/outings. Kaya is always tuckered out when she comes home! We are so glad we found Deborah 🧡”
“Deepti is a wonderful host for Moxie. My pup is always excited to see her and gets lots of love and attention. The communication is always great from beginning to end and Deepti is very flexible.”
“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”
“Carey was beyond great! She sent us pictures throughout the entire stay. It’s very clear that she loves animals! She was great with communication throughout the entire booking process and stay. 100% recommend booking with her!”
