About: I have had animals in my household all my life, I have had a dog since the age of 12! I have always been that person when friends and family who are in a pickle with animals to care for them! I am responsible yet caring and loving towards all animals. I work 5 days a week right now but they are part time hours so I have lots of time for your furbabies! Stormy and I are always down at the dog park everyday regardless of weather! I know that routine is very important to animals! I have a partially fenced back yard which is about 0.7 acres large!

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, Iâm dedicated to ensuring your furry friend receives the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. From energetic puppies and playful large breeds to senior dogs who prefer leisurely strolls, Iâve worked with them all. I believe every dog deserves loving care, and Iâm committed to building trust with both pets and their owners. Let me make your dogâs day with fun-filled walks and personalized attention! I am currently working part-time. I would love my free time to be spent with my favourite animal, being outside, getting exercise, doing what I love.

About: Growing up our family always had a pet dog from small a chihuahua to larger dogs. We have also recently taken care of neighbours pets such as Guinea pigs, cat and smaller dogs. We also have our own gecko named Lennon. Currently we have no furry friends in our family so your dog will become the star of the show dying their stay. I am currently able to work from home a few days of week and your pet will fit into our day to day family life getting walks in the morning and evening and during lunch hour times. We have a partially fenced yard and will keep dogs in our care on their leash for safety. Your pet will enjoy walks around our neighbourhood.
About: Iâm patient, reliable, and very attentive to each petâs individual needs. Iâm comfortable caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets, and I always follow routines closely to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine consistent. During drop-ins, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. On walks, I make sure dogs get safe, engaging exercise at their own pace. Iâm attentive to each petâs behavior and comfort level, and I always double check doors, leashes, and surroundings for safety. I also provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for! :)

About: I have owned and lived with dogs, and cats for the past 10 years. My current dog is high energy and we'll titled. I'm happy to work with puppies, and provide a little anxiety relief to your pets. Looking for someone to take your dog out while your on a long shift, longer walks than your able, or social/training enriched walks, I'm able to help. I grew up on a hobby farm and am more then happy to spend time with ducks, chickens, rabbits etc. I currently work full time from home, if you have wifi I can be there all day. I have a dog as well, he can come for social play dates, or stay home. For longer stay, my furbaby can come along for doggy socialization or I can alternate on a plan that works for both of us. Dogs love routine, keeping to their routine is safest. I practice positive reinforcement for pets. For dogs who pull on walks ii prefer a harness, it's safer for us and them, and have plenty of dual clip leashes to work on heeling with them.
About: I have had years of experience caring for others pets. Mainly dogs, but can certainly look after cats as well. Me and my family have owned our own digs for years and I am currently enjoying spending quality pet time with my partners cat who at times, acts more like a dog.

I am a big outdoors person who walks a ton so I am able to take your pet out daily (multiple times if needed.) I can cater to whatever your pet is used to in your home. I do not offer in home pet care at this time. I am caring, attentive and absolutely love animals, I can't wait to meet your furry friend
âAmy is fantastic with my dogs. She is very caring, and definitely trust worthy with your pets. Amy goes above and beyond to take the pups on new adventures, and is great with keeping with their routines. Not to mention when I surprised her with a new addition, she was not only thrilled to have two to walk, but is so great with his puppy antics. My pups love Amy and yours will too!â

About: I have had 5 different cats and one dog throughout my life, and I have always had a unique and special connection to animals that humans cannot rival. I have cared, watched, bathed, trained and played with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have attended dog training with my dog since she was a puppy and have a great energy around animals. As a student I have a fairly open schedule and can care for your pets during long work days or unexpected call ins. I am available at short notice or would be willing to come and meet your furry friend before making a formal arrangement I have a fenced in patio and live close to many parks. Living on a side street offers a safe opportunity for your dog. Although I do not have any fur babies of my own, many individuals in my apartment building have pets if you would like your pet to socialize!
About: I have loved and cared for animals with empathy since I was a child. I was always very drawn to animals, and felt a strong connection with them.

About: Iâm Sophia, a lifelong animal person with a farming background and a sixth sense for critter energy. I grew up surrounded by cattle, I've worked with horses, and I've raised a range of pets of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. All of this has given me a deep understanding of animal body language and a real respect for what makes them tick. I connect especially well with cats and dogs, and Iâm known for my calm, grounded energy that helps even the most nervous pets feel chill. Whether your pup needs playtime, your kitty needs company, or you just want to make sure your pets are safe and happy while you're away, Iâve got it covered. Iâll treat your animals like my ownâwith care, clarity, and zero drama. Letâs keep things calm, cozy, and tail-waggy. I'm self-employed and a homebody, which means my schedule is super flexible and I'm available to give extra care throughout the week. That gives me tons of time for long morning walks, mid-day play breaks, and slow, snuggly evenings with your pets. Theyâre not just getting fed and walkedâtheyâre getting real presence, companionship, and care throughout the day. I let animals set the pace. With a strong read on body language and temperament, I adjust my energy and approach to match what they needânot the other way around. Sometimes that means playtime and walks, and sometimes it means just being quietly nearby so they can relax without feeling overstimulated. Whether theyâre social butterflies or shy little wallflowers, Iâm here to make sure they feel at ease.
About: Dogs are family, I love and care for them accordingly. I have been privileged to always have dogs in my life, the more the merrier! I have taken a month of work to do home renovations! Now that the renovations are nearing a finish I have ample time for dog walks, play and care! Having a high energy pup myself, we keep very active. I live a active lifestyle and tend to stick to activities that are dog friendly! I am a nature enthusiast and lucky to live very close to a beautiful trail system that we use multiple times a day. Long walks makes home base that much sweeter to relax, play and eat!
âLesley is fantastic. She communicates clearly and knows her way with dogs. She showed us early on that she listens and pays attention to details. She shows up when she says she will and clearly has a love for animals. Weâre really happy we found Lesley to help us out with our dog Mic. Highly recommend.â
