“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“Heather and Matt were absolutely incredible with Charlie during our 10 days away. We had met with another sitter before them and it just didn’t feel right, but from our very first meet and greet with Heather and Matt, we immediately knew they were the perfect fit. We felt confident leaving Charlie in their care. They treated him like part of their family and truly loved him. Their communication was exceptional—we received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. This was especially important to us as Charlie had recently had surgery to remove a lump on his back and still had stitches. They followed all instructions perfectly and were so attentive and caring. Charlie is also very spoiled and loves being cozy with his blankets, and they went above and beyond by setting up his bed near the fireplace to keep him warm! We felt completely at ease the entire time and were so impressed that we’ve already booked another stay. We cannot recommend Heather and Matt highly enough.”
“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!”
“Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!”
“Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“They are the BEST dogsitter ever. My dog Beethoven was there 7 days. They keep me updated every day , treathim like they own family members. Thank you for give him all the loves and cares !!!”
“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. Samantha's dog and cat were also so great with Poppy. She had a wonderful stay and we'd highly recommend Samantha in the future.”
“Ozzy had a great stay with Bronwen! Bronwen provided us with updates throughout the day and was caring and professional with Ozzy. We would highly recommend Bronwen to others for dog sitting!”
“Yasemin and Daniel were wonderful caregivers to our pup! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on his day while we were away. They took care of him as if he was their own pet. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!”
“Excellent experience, Ashley took very good care of our elderly dog and he had a great time while we were away. We were a bit nervous about leaving him as he is getting older but Ashley made us feel very confident and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again”
“Svetlana and Artur were amazing sitters. They treated our Portuguese water dog, Larkin, just like their own. We really appreciated all the photos and videos to keep us updated and assured that Larkin was very happy and comfortable. Larkin can’t wait for her next stay! Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rebecca provided for Lily. She made sure Lily got plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Rebecca is organized, dependable, and a true dog lover. Lily is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jennifer, Homer, and her family were absolutely amazing with Billie Jean! She was well taken care of. So much so, that Billie Jean would like to be adopted by Jennifer 😂”
“Thank you Jessica for taking such good care of Monty. We really appreciated all the pictures and keeping us informed on how Monty was doing while we were aware. Much Appreciated! Cathy and Craig.”
“Copper's second stay with Jennifer and Brent was as successful as the first. Copper had a great time - And got spoiled by all the attention and special treatment -- Like getting to sleep on the sofa! Jennifer and Brent also took him hiking one day which we know he loves. We will certainly leave Copper with them again on our next trip to St. Catharines. Thanks for all you do for him and us, guys! Take care. Ron and Jen.”
“I cannot recommend Barbara enough! Our dog is always very comfortable in her home. Barbara keeps us updated and takes wonderful care of Boudicca. Thank you Barbara!”
“Karen and Jorge were great with our little dog Gracie. Gracie took to them right away, was clearly comfortable in their home and they spoiled her with love and attention. They sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. We will happily book again with Karen and Jorge.”
“She was great; she took care of Bruce very well. He adapted to the other dogs really fast. She asked for all the instructions to take care of him and feed him on his schedule. I recommend Dr. Anna; she is really good. We are happy with her ; )”
“My dog is very shy with people and dogs so I was little worried to use Rover. But she had spent a comfortable night with Cyndy, James and their fur families:) thank you very much”

About: Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding and love for feline behavior through my experience with fostering and rescuing cats. I am particularly proud to have rescued my own three stray cats, a journey that taught me exactly what it takes to earn a cat's trust, read their subtle body language, and provide a safe, stress-free environment. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who demands constant playtime or a shy soul who just needs a quiet, patient presence, my firsthand experience with rescues means I know how to cater to their unique boundaries and make them feel completely secure while you are away.

About: • Graduated from Brock University in June 2021, received a Bachelor of Science with specialization in behavioral neuroscience. • My dog Otto is a 5-year old Australian cattle dog/Beagle mix rescued and adopted from a shelter in Cayuga • He is a huge part of my life and has given me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in my studies at Brock to the real world • My goal is to gain more experience handling and caring for dogs of a variety of sizes/ages/breeds • I was always around animals growing up and now see Rover as a way to share my expertise and compassion in the field of animal care • Most importantly, I'll make sure you feel confident and relaxed that I am caring for your best friend.

About: Our Story: We have always had rescue cats but became more involved with dogs about 12 years ago when a Cambridge area rescue assisted us with our neighbour's dog in a difficult situation. We began fostering for them but quickly learned that we are more of adoptive dog owners and ended up keeping our third dog. He remained with us until he passed away at age 15. We continue to have cats. We are a household with children, aged 10, and a young adult who respects animals and the space that they may need. House sitting: We are happy to have your dog come to our home provided that they are good with children and cats. There is normally one adult in the home at all times and we can provide the potty breaks that your dog needs. We are also happy to have cats come over and will provide a space for the cat until all of the cats get used to each other. Dog Walks: We will take your dog on a walk to give them exercise and use up some energy! We are happy to accommodate your dog's needs, whether they have anxiety or need to play. If you are not home, we will check their water and provide you with an update on how the walk was. Visits: We will come and check on your dog or cat, ensure that they have food and take them out to use the bathroom or clean the litter. We will spend time with them and give scratches behind the ear. We have one adult working remotely and the other working out of the house. There is normally an adult in the home at all times, except for school drop offs and pick ups. Our yard is fenced and we do not let dogs outside without supervision. Our cats have a separate space either upstairs or downstairs in the basement with a gate to separate the dogs and cats, if required.

Reliable, attentive care—with lots of love, happy tails, and purrs included. 💕🐾 When pets come to my home, they’re treated like part of the family—just with more fresh air and room to roam.

My goal is simple: a safe, happy stay with country comfort, plenty of love, and very content tails and paws. 🌾🐕🐾

“Lindsay est fiable et flexible sur les horaires, ce qui dans notre cas a été très appréciable. Elle est très réactive aux messages et nous avons reçu des photos de Neva lors de son court séjour. La maison de Lindsay est agréable et très bien située si vous allez à Niagara Falls. Lindsay est très sympathique, calme et douce et sa famille est aussi très impliquée. Neva a été choyée pendant son séjour. Si nous retournons visiter la région, il est évident que nous réserverons à nouveau sans hésiter chez Lindsay. Merci pour tout Lindsay et ses enfants d'avoir pris soin de notre belle Neva.”

Thank you again for being so great with Maia (and making my time away worry free). Katharine”

About: Hi! I’m Seda, and I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up on the streets of Istanbul, I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs, learning to understand their behavior in all kinds of situations. Now, I’m the proud dog parent of Cookie, a sweet (but reactive!) 3 year old pup. So, I totally get what it’s like to manage walks with anxious or reactive dogs. Been there, still doing that! For the past five years, I've been sharing my love and experience with pets by helping fellow pet lovers care for their furry family members. I’m also a volunteer dog walker/handler at a local shelter, where I work with all types of dogs, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’ve fostered, adopted, and helped pets find their forever homes. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little TLC, I’d love to help. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully, my next furry best friend! 🐾🐶🐱 p.s. I deeply cherish animals and embrace nature wholeheartedly. Beyond my love for pets, I actively advocate for LGBTQ rights, reproductive healthcare, women's rights, immigrant communities, and all vulnerable populations. I firmly support fundamental human rights, proudly standing in solidarity with 🇺🇦🇵🇸 I'm delighted to connect and work with like-minded individuals who share these values 😊 My schedule is pretty flexible for drop ins and walking. However I need to know the times for the boarding and the night stays at the client's house at least one week beforehand. I prefer to care for pets in the client's house as I dont want them to get stressed out by staying in an unfamiliar environment. For the past three years, I offer long boarding service to families who travel abroad to care for their house and pets when they are gone.

“I’m so very pleased to have made a connection with Tammy. First, she was willing to meet and test herself for any allergic reaction to our Lexi. Thankfully there was none!! From the first moment we met Tammy and later her hsbd, I could see Lexi was super relaxed and at ease. Getting to know Tammy prior to arranging daycare was a pleasure. I appreciated all the questions, her eagerness to interact with Lexi, her manner of joy, gentleness and natural confident leadership while handling our girl. Our first dog-sitting went smoothly for everyone. There was excellent communication between us, I had 100% peace of mind while away and from photos Tammy shared, I could see Lexi was a very happy girl. I’m grateful to know that Tammy and Gord are people with whom we can trust and count on for future dog sitting and perhaps (hopefully!), overnight stays too ?? ?”

About: I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs, and my time spent fostering and doing rescue work really taught me how to connect with them on their level. It showed me how much patience and love it takes to make a pup feel truly safe. To turn that passion into a daily routine, I also worked at a doggy daycare, which is just as fun as it sounds! It’s given me amazing experience with every type of dog personality imaginable—from the high-energy goofballs to the quiet ones who just want a buddy to sit with. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend, so my goal is always to treat them exactly like family, keeping them safe, happy, and understood. Having recently moved to Ontario, my schedule is completely open and flexible! Because I'm settling into the area, pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day, it is my daily routine. This open availability means I can completely adapt to your pet's specific clock, whether they need early morning walks, strict mid-day routines, or just a consistent companion throughout the week. When staying in your home, my top priority is keeping your pet's routine exactly the same so they feel safe and stress free. I treat your space with total respect while focusing on personalized care whether that means high energy playtime, long walks, or just quiet companionship. With my background in reading animal body language, I’m always attentive to their comfort levels and safety. Plus, I’ll keep you connected with regular photo updates for total peace of mind!
About: Being a dog lover my entire life, I have always taken any opportunity to work with dogs. My first job was at Ren’s Pets Depot, where I was able to interact with pets and their owners every day. Over the years, I have raised three guide dogs through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, as well as provided dog sitting for their fosters and career-changed dogs. I also worked at the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA as a canine assessor. In addition, I have volunteered as a photographer for various animal rescue organizations such as Save Our Scruff and Bark at the Moon K9 Rescue. Because of this experience, I have the ability and knowledge to care for a wide range of dogs, from puppies to anxious dogs to rescues. I can provide a calm, structured, and welcoming environment tailored to each pup’s individual needs. Lyndon, my 7-year-old black Lab mix and career-changed guide dog, is easygoing and social. He loves the company of other dogs and will be a steady, friendly companion during their stay. Olly, my 6-month-old dachshund, is a bit more reserved at first but warms up with time. Once comfortable, she enjoys playful moments like chase and fetch! Together, Lyndon and Olly help create a balanced home environment that can suit both confident and more sensitive dogs. You can follow along our daily adventures on Instagram to get a better sense of what life is like in our house! I work most days from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will be able to adjust my work day to best fit your dogs needs and keep them in a routine they are comfortable with. I have two friendly dogs at home who help create a calm, social environment for visiting pets. My black Lab mix, Lyndon, is very easygoing and loves the company of other dogs, making him a steady companion during their stay. I also have Olly my 6-month-old miniature dachshund, who is a bit more reserved at first but settles in with time and enjoys gentle play once she is comfortable. With over 14 years of experience in dog care, including fostering, working with rescues, and assessing dogs professionally, you can feel confident that your pup will be cared for, understood, and loved as if they were my own. I always aim to create a safe, structured, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs.

I am currently a stay at home mom looking for something to keep me busy while my little one is in school, but am open to after school walks aswell. I am currently only offering a walking service. My walks would be within your preferred route and time limit so you know your pet is safe.
About: For the last 10 years, I have taken care of animals of my own as well as neighbour's and friends. Dog walking and sitting feels as if it’s second nature! As I currently work a flexible schedule, there are times during the week and weekend where I am completely free to walk. Having a companion to walk with would make it even better! I have two dogs and a cat that are all well behaved and completely spoiled. We have a fenced in back yard along with a lower unit that is separate from the other dogs if need be.
About: I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, I've grown up always having pets in my home. From caring for horses, chickens, ducks and other farm animals, to caring for cats, dogs, fish, turtles and other reptiles. I have experience handling dogs with structured training. I will happily follow whatever training their pet parents are practicing. My 2 Dutchie/Malis are professionally trained by private trainers at Sheild K9 in Puslinch. I'm a community healthcare worker so I don't work long hours. I'm always out and about around all parts of Lincoln, Grimsby, Smithville, Dunnville, Welland, Wainfleet, Lowbanks, Pelham and parts of St. Catherines as well. I can easily fit a visit into my regular work day or I can see them before and/or after I work too. One of the beauties of being a community healthcare worker is I manage my own daily work schedule. I follow the care plans each individual client sets out for their home and pets. You know your pet best and you know what they like, I'm more than happy to follow my clients instructions. I can provide updates, progress notes, and pictures of your pets upon request.
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. We have saved 500 dogs off the streets of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left it late 2021 as the stress was too much but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 5 rescue dogs total: 1. Bulldog (named KD) 2. Beagle (Lucy) 3. Collie (Kody) 4. Husky (Pretzel) 5. Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily! 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. 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 usually always home. 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 we can do injections, first aid and CPR. 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! 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 every evening/night and usually does evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard with patio stones, straw and wood chips to avoid mud! Concrete around the edges to avoid any escaping. Three of our dogs are well socialized and love to play! The other two we keep separate. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats 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 room".

“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“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!”
“Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!”
“Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“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. Samantha's dog and cat were also so great with Poppy. She had a wonderful stay and we'd highly recommend Samantha in the future.”
“Excellent experience, Ashley took very good care of our elderly dog and he had a great time while we were away. We were a bit nervous about leaving him as he is getting older but Ashley made us feel very confident and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rebecca provided for Lily. She made sure Lily got plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Rebecca is organized, dependable, and a true dog lover. Lily is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jennifer, Homer, and her family were absolutely amazing with Billie Jean! She was well taken care of. So much so, that Billie Jean would like to be adopted by Jennifer 😂”
“Karen and Jorge were great with our little dog Gracie. Gracie took to them right away, was clearly comfortable in their home and they spoiled her with love and attention. They sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. We will happily book again with Karen and Jorge.”
“Rie and Masahiro were wonderful sitters for my dog, Laika (65lbs). She needed some extra love and attention, and they were incredibly accommodating. Their communication throughout was excellent, sending me regular updates and pictures, which really reassured me while I was away. Laika seemed so happy and well cared for during her stay with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo”
“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!”
“Shannon was AMAZING! She provided constant communication and showed us photos of her walks. Even when the dogs get tired she showed us that they had a nice relaxing stay. If I ever need my dog and my sister’s dog take care of, I know who to trust. Thank you!”

“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“Deb and Eric are incredibly welcoming, flexible and friendly! We quickly received updates, and our dog felt right at home from the moment we dropped them off. Their house is a perfect set up in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard. Their daughters did great with Quito as well. We already have Quito’s next stay booked with Deb and Eric!”
