Kayla took great care of my doggies when I was gone overnight. They were fed, watered and walked. Photo updates were provided as well which helped put me at ease that my dogs were in good hands. Kayla seems very kind.

About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Please note we require a meet and greet first before agreeing to take care of your dog. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to hear from you! Natalie Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.

Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!

About: Hi, I’m Christina! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love spending my time caring for them. I have hands-on experience with many dog breeds, sizes, and personalities as a volunteer dog walked for the Owen Sound Animal Shelter. I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive — and I know how important it is for pet parents to have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or sticking to their routine. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve I’m currently operating before and after school childcare. I’m available to walk or care for your pup however that may look for you between 9am-3pm. The care and service will be directed to your pups needs and wants whether that an adventurous or relaxing walk or even playing in your yard.

About: I’ve been dog sitting throughout high school and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. As I head into my third year of university, I’m looking to earn some extra savings for school while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether that’s walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or plenty of affection, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m currently off school until September and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I work casual shifts at a hospital, so my availability varies, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling. As a pet owner myself with a pug at home, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. In your home, I will treat both your pet and your space with respect, keeping things clean and secure while providing regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I work from home, and am home all day. I live across from Exhibition Park in Guelph and can take your dog out for socializing with others, or go on quieter walks around the neighbourhood. I am a champion pet cuddler! I would love to spend time with your dog or cat and make them feel like royalty. Before moving to Ottawa this spring, I volunteered at the Guelph Humane Society. I am accustomed to dogs with different personalities and needs. I enjoy doing enrichment activities, playing with a favourite toy, practicing their training, or just relaxing! Whatever your pal needs. I have experience taking care of my own late dog who had dementia and who was deaf and vision impaired. I am also experienced in taking care of new adoptions who need decompression time, limited contact but their basic needs met. Whatever the situation, I'm your gal! I work from home on a flexible schedule so I can always give your pet the care and attention they need when they need it. I have a small backyard for bathroom breaks, and live on a quiet street. I have a small crate available if needed, but I love snuggling on the couch and in bed with any furry friends! I can continue any training you're working on, or we can just relax together. Whatever you need.

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.

I have a fully fenced in yard and three very friendly small (under 10lbs) dogs. I do have the option to keep separate if needed, and have crates if needed.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for my own dog as well as helping friends and family with their pets when needed. Before moving to Owen Sound, I spent time living on a farm and being around a variety of animals, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors and going for walks, and I would love to bring your furry friend along with me! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already spend a lot of time outdoors walking and staying active, and I enjoy incorporating pet care into my day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with pets. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions provided by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I pay attention to leash safety, secure doors and gates, and ensure pets have access to fresh water, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable, and comfortable experience so both pets and their owners can feel at ease.

Tiffany was great! It usually takes our dog a while to warm up to new people, but he became buds with Tiffany right away. Dogs are a good judge of character, and he trusts her after just one visit. It makes us feel so much better knowing that our boy is in good hands while we’re away. Thank you Tiffany!
