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 currently work 5 days and work from home one day a week. I work locally and am able to pop in and our during lunch breaks. 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.

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’m 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 I’m 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, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your animals like my own—with care, clarity, and zero drama. Let’s 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. They’re not just getting fed and walked—they’re 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 need—not 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 they’re social butterflies or shy little wallflowers, I’m here to make sure they feel at ease.

I have taken care of new puppies, senior dogs and everything in between.My calm, patient and loving personality helps to put pets at ease.

About: We adopted our dog Serge (a Rottweiler/St Bernard/Bernese mix) three years ago. We absolutely adore him, and he us! We both grew up with dogs (boxers, golden retrievers, and mutts). We both work full time remotely. Serge gets a minimum 5k walk daily - he's very spoilt! We can cater for older dogs/dogs that cannot walk very much, as well, this is no issue. We would ensure your dog is loved and well exercised and never left alone. Your dog would need to get along with Serge. We live in the countryside next to Lake Huron so in the summer your dog can go for swims or walks on the Bruce Trail. If you'd like us to house-sit, we would need to be able to bring Serge with us to your house.

Sofia R.
“I have a yorkie (Bailey) who is the love of my love. I recently had to go on vacation. Sofia, the dog sitter, was highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. After speaking with Sofia I decided to leave Bailey in her care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sofia was incredibly accommodating and made Bailey feel right at home. Throughout the stay, she kept updating me with frequent pictures and videos, showing how much fun Bailey was having. Sofia genuinely cares for dogs and treated Bailey as if he was her own. I could not be more happier for my dog to be left in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend Sofia to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Aaron & Julia S.
“Aaron and his parents have had dogs, usually 2 boxers, all the time he was growing up. He and his partner, Julia, adopted Serge, a boxer mix, when they came to Canada from London, England. Both of them are careful to have Serge on a leash until he becomes familiar with other dogs. They have been to my place several times and watched closely while Serge and my small breed dog, and 2 cats, got used to each other. We were at a family get together on Canada Day weekend for 2 days with about 20 adults, 15 young children and 3 other dogs - 2 fairly big and my small one. Aaron and Julia kept Serge near them most of the time and then once the dogs became familiar, let him play with the others but were always out in the yard with them. They would be excellent dog sitters!”
