Personalized care for your dog or cat - West Grey

“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”

About: Hi! I have had cats and/dogs in my home since I was 2. I have a big heart and plenty of patience. I have experiences with feeding, walking, cleaning, washing, adhearing to explicit vet instructions for medical needs, reactive personalities, practicing training, being gentle where needed and playing with animals. I am away from home from 8:00am-4:30pm on week days for work. I am unavailable for active care during that time unless for example, this includes a cat who can thrive independently while I am away for the day. At my home, I have yard in the back and lots of neighbourhoods to walk through. Inside my home I have the space to care based on a mutually agreed-upon plan of care. I live in an apartment and it is a nice quiet space. If care involves boarding with me, I would currently prefer you send your own supplies per the needs of your pet(s) (bowls, food, treats, litter/litter box/puppy pads/poop baggies, leash, toys, and other). If at a clients home, I am respectful, a great listener to the needs of the pets, the preferences of the household and am great at communicating when facilitating active care.

About: Think of this as a boutique, in-home pet boarding retreat — not a kennel. With 30+ years of hands-on experience raising, hosting, and loving just about every creature imaginable — cats, dogs, fowl, rabbits, rodents, and even tortoises (yes, really) — your pet will be in wildly capable hands. Puppies who need gentle training? Seniors who need extra patience and TLC? Shy pets, quirky pets, “my pet is kind of weird” pets? I’ve met them all and adore them deeply. Our home is designed for calm, gentle pet care, nestled on a peaceful 100-acre forest property (freija.ca), which means plenty of fresh air, enrichment, and stress-free vibes. No kids, no chaos — just a quiet, loving environment where animals can actually relax. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet is never left wondering where the humans went. Someone is always around for companionship, playtime, belly rubs, or just existing together (a highly underrated skill). And then there’s Honey, our resident adventure cat and official Welcome Committee. He absolutely loves meeting visiting pets and brings big “friendly camp counsellor” energy to every introduction. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family, understands animals on a deep level, and can handle everything from puppy zoomies to senior snoozes — you just found your place. 🐾💚 My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet gets constant supervision, companionship, and engagement — ideal for puppies needing routine, senior dogs who require extra care, and pets who don’t do well being left alone. There are no children in the home, just experienced adults who speak fluent “animal.” Our home is set up specifically for gentle, low-stress pet sitting, tucked away on a quiet 100-acre forest property (freija.ca). It’s perfect for dogs who love sniffing adventures, cats who enjoy calm observation posts, and pets who thrive in a peaceful environment. No crates by default, no overcrowding, and absolutely no chaos. If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, in-home pet boarding where your pet is treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled), you’ve found it. Your pet brings the personality — we’ve already got the love, patience, and forest vibes covered.

About: It can be so difficult to find somewhere you feel comfortable with to leave your pets. We treat your dogs as our own! We have two small Boston terriers who are both spayed and good with other dogs (aged 11 and 8). Lot's of affection, love, and care is given to our animals, and we have a country home with lot's of space and property for exercise and fetch! I work from home so am available to be home with your dog to be let out often. Feel free to reach out if you want to schedule a meet and greet! I currently work from home so am available to let dogs out frequently. We do travel from time to time but will list my availability accordingly. My dogs are not crated, however we are happy to use a crate if this is how your dog is trained. We do allow our pets on the furniture and to sleep in bed however again-whatever your pet is used to is what we will do. We do have a fence at the road of the property however this is not completely enclosed, so I would be putting the dog on a long rope or lead to be safe. I am out in the country with a large yard and bush, but do not leave the dogs unattended outside for any period of time-supervision always. We understand that every dog is taken care of differently and will follow whatever guidelines you are wanting for your pet.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with my little dog Lacey from the age of 8 is what first made me fall in love with having a dog of my own. I was also lucky enough to be a dog mom for many years and he brought so much love and joy into our lives! Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets, both dogs and cats, ranging from large breeds to small, as well as small animals such as bunnies! I have lots of experience with pets including walks, feeding, brushing, active play, and of course, plenty of cuddles on the couch. As a current cat owner, I’ve also gained experience caring for senior pets and understand that they may need a little extra patience, attention, and care with their daily routines and individual needs. More recently, I’ve had the opportunity to foster a puppy, which I’ve found incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and helping them feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime, a little extra patience, or simply a cozy companion to curl up with, I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furbabies! 🐾🤍 Since I work a hybrid position, my schedule can be somewhat flexible so please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding availability or if it lies outside the currently listed availability. My main availability will be in the evenings after 5pm but I’m not limited to that so feel free to ask. Weekend availability would be flexible with afternoon being favourable. I offer secure and friendly drop-in services at your home, interactive and fun walks for your furbabies, and cat sitting. I also offer dog boarding in my home, where there’s lots of space for your doggo to relax, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and care I give my own. Please reach out with any questions!

“Deb did a wonderful job taking care of my boy. It was his first time and he had a blast. Deb kept me up to date with pictures to keep my mind at ease.”

“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, growing up with dogs and cats. I’ve watched friends and neighbours animals, as well as worked in a shelter and volunteering.

“Mindy had the best day ever with Sarah and her daughters. She received cuddles, walks, and lots of love all day….What a great experience! This was our first time using Rover and Sarah was very helpful in assisting me with the process. We will definitely do this again. I’m already planning a little getaway because Mindy thoroughly enjoyed her day too. Thanks so much!”

“Nikol was very pleasant and quick to return messages. I was kept updated as to how our dog was acclimating which made leaving him less stressful. Nice property set back in the woods which is great for walking. Very accommodating for drop off and pick up times. We will use Nikol’s services again!”

Sarah M.

“Jennifer was great! Our puppy was so well cared for. Communication was excellent, with lots of updates through the day, and we felt totally at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot recommend Uncle Roy highly enough! Since moving to Canada, this is the first time I have truly felt that someone caring for Vandy has both the genuine compassion and the experience needed to look after him. From our very first meet-and-greet, Uncle Roy impressed me with how thoughtfully he asked about Vandy's habits, daily routines, preferences, medications, special needs, and house rules. He genuinely wanted to understand Vandy before taking responsibility for him. Uncle Roy has a wonderful combination of physical strength, extensive experience with dogs, and a very big heart. He knows how to handle Vandy confidently while also being patient and understanding when Vandy feels restless or misses his mom. What I especially appreciate is that Uncle Roy doesn't just care for dogs, he understands them. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and I actually learned new things about Vandy from him! For the first time in a long while, I could focus on my work with complete peace of mind, knowing Vandy was in loving and capable hands. And most importantly, Vandy really loved his time with Uncle Roy! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved dog.”

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.

“Pamela was a wonderful care provider for Goose. She provided timely updates and photos throughout his stay with her putting me at ease despite our first time booking with her. Picked up Goose happy and exhausted from hours of play with his new buddy Moose. We look forward to booking with Pamela in the near future! Thank you Pamela and Moose for a great experience!”

“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”
