Dog Walkers in Orillia

“Andrew did a great job walking with my reactive dog. She also needs a little time to warm up to and meet strangers Andrew was very accommodating with her.”

About: Are you a busy pet parent struggling to find time to give your adorable pooch the exercise and outdoor adventure they deserve? Look no further! I have 20 years experience caring for pets from cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and various farm animals. I have owned 2 dogs and a cat for the last 10 years and understand the importance of fresh air and exercise. I believe that each animal is unique and their walking experience should reflect that. Whether your furry friend is a bundle of energy, a gentle senior, or somewhere in between, my customized walks are designed to cater to their specific needs. I work from home part time and I love being outdoors and active so I’m always walking either on a trail or around the neighborhood. I cater the type of care to your pets needs. Need extra walks? No problem. Need someone to pop by during the day to replenish water or let out in the backyard for a run? I’m your girl.

“Taylar is wonderful with my boys. Have 3 dogs and she takes care of them as if they were her own. She is kind and caring and loving to them all. Takes them for walks and helps with training with any word commands we’ve talked about. She’s amazing!”

“Sharon is an excellent dog sitter. She looked after our dog several times and Breyer (our dog) absolutely loves her. Every time he sees her he gets so excited. That's how you know your dog is happy with whom you leave him with. "Actions say it all." Sharon is very attentive and loving with Breyer and always feeds Breyer on time as we have him on a strict schedule. She loves to take long walks which Breyer loves too. I would recommend Sharon for dog sitting any type of dog. You will not be disappointed!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since a very young age, there wasn’t a time that we didn’t have pets in the house. I put 5 years of experience because over the last 5 years my Boston terrier has become a senior and needed more attention than usual. Unfortunately he passed away a few months ago so it’s just Fish and I now but I love having the dogs around now that I don’t have one anymore. I live with my partner and he’s home on the weekends so your pup will have company from both of us! There isn’t a dog that I’m not up for the challenge and walks can be tailored to your dogs energy level! I’m currently working part time and the days that I do work I’m off at 2pm (Mondays & Thursdays) on days I work and your pup is boarding with me I typically take them for a walk before I leave in the morning at 6. I come home around 10 to let them out for a potty break. When I’m off at 2 I usually bring them to a dog park or upstairs to play with my neighbours dog in a fenced in area. I can text updates to your phone each time I’m with your pet and gps can be an option as well. Depending on location I will take your pet to the nearest walking trails unless you have a preferred route for me.

“Kelsi has always watched over my pets when out of town. She is reliable and my animals have always been happy and cared for with her. She always has gone above and beyond with communication if and when an issue has arrived. You won’t find someone better !”

“Thank you, awesome job, Brady looked like he was having fun. I saw you both had a walking companion when you returned, that’s nice.”

“Jordan loves animals! He is a responsible, educated young man who will take exceptional care of your pet and your home. He cared for our dogs with love and affection; daily walks, toys and treats were a priority. Regardless of the age of your dog, Jordan will take the time to ensure he/she has everything needed to make them happy, comfortable and secure while you’re away.”

“Julie Payne enjoys taking my Australian Shepard chase for walks and to the park when able if I can’t. Chase enjoys also being with her two husky’s juggernaught and daqiri .”

“Jessica took my two dogs for an hour walk. My dogs aren’t always the best walkers but she was great with them! Jessica kept me updated during the walk, which was appreciated. High recommend!”

“Elissa is the absolute best. She is what every dog lover wants for their dog. She has cared for my 70 pound stray on three occasions once for three weeks. My dog was better for the experience. Importantly when I drop her off she wants to go in to the home. That speaks millions. I unhesitatingly give Elissa the highest marks. Oh another thing. Just in case some odd event might happen and of course it didn’t Elissa sue tagged my dog. That’s how caring and responsible she is”

About: I have owned many different types of pets throughout my life. Growing up we often had three cats and two dogs at a time with other animals like chinchillas, fish, and rabbits joining our family from time to time. My pets have always truly been a part of my family and I could not picture my life without them. One of my parents has been a veterinarian since I was born and has taught me a lot about caring for animals and administering medications. They are also a helpful resource in the event of after hour's emergencies. I also worked in their clinic through elementary and secondary school, often assisting with doggy daycare and boarding. I currently work online, from home, and with a flexible schedule. This will give me the ability to give your pet my undivided attention and offer unlimited pee breaks as often as every hour. I have pet beds set up in my office so your pet can feel comfortable, accompanied, and supported during their stay in our home. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced backyard that will allow your pet to enjoy a good portion of their day outside. Your pet is welcome to sleep however they are used to doing home. I am able to set them up with a bed on the floor in our bedroom or crate them in another room on their own.

About: I go by Lee (they/them), and I've been a cat owner for my entire life, and a dog lover just as long! I currently have two cats, Auri and Marcie. For my whole life I've been the go-to pet sitter and walker because of how happy it makes me! I just spent the last two years working for a pet care agency in the Newmarket area, sitting for over a hundred different cats, dogs, and other furry creatures. I've been independently walking dogs for clients since 2011, and now that I've moved to the Orillia area I can't wait to get back to it. I love to be outdoors, and walking dogs is one of my favourite ways to do it! I'm working to build a core base of regular clients during the week, as I prefer to build lasting relationships with you and your pets. I will happily care for your pet within the comfort of your own home, no transportation needed! The less disruption in their routine while you're away, the better.

“Laura has taken care of my 2 year old mixed bully breed, Henry, countless times. She makes sure he gets a good walk, lots of cuddles and ensures he is loved while in her care. Henry loves her and and looks forward to seeing her again!”

“Skyler walked both of our very active dogs while we were away. One of the walks was in the awful rain and she still made sure they got their walk in and even dried their paws off after. Skyler was quick to respond to any messages we sent and she sent us photos of the dogs happy after each walk which set our minds at ease! We look forward to having Skyler walk our dogs again soon!”

“Amanda is so easy to connect with and has been so helpful when we need her to walk our dog. If you are looking for a dog walker definitely give her a message thank-you Amanda!”
