“Sarah and Karine went above and beyond watching our pets for a month while we were gone! Kept everything clean, gave them lots of love and took lots of pictures! We knew they were in good hands. Recommend to anyone going away!! 🐶🐱”

“Jacy was great. Always on time, easy to get a hold of, and took great care of our cats while away from home. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“Melanie was amazing!! This was my first time being away and having a sitter for the dogs and I was nervous; but Melanie was awesome. Sent pictures and updates on happenings. I felt at ease knowing she was checking in on them.”

“Sherry was amazing to Ginger while I was away on vacation. She sent me daily pictures and updates, helping me feel connected to my girl while I was gone! I will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my family, from small to large! I love all dogs of any breeds, and any size. I am a very active person so I would love to take your pup for an easy walk or a good hike! I am currently employed full time 10-4. I am very flexible with my schedule, just let me know what works best for you and I will try my best to make it work! I grew up with many different breeds of dogs, from low energy to energetic, so I am excited to meet your pup! I can come straight to your pups needs directly from work! I’m flexible in my hours and will be open and honest about what times work best for us both. I know I am an unfamiliar face to your pet, so ensuring they’re comfortable in their own home is one of my main focuses. I can promise to keep your pet as safe as I would keep my own, you can never be too safe with the ones you love!!
About: I work in the animal care industry which is intensely challenging and equally rewarding. Over the years I have taken care of hundreds of dogs and cats (& many other species) of all ages, personalities and with a variety of medical and behavioural needs. Additionally I have been a dog owner for over 20 years and understand the stress and challenges when it comes to finding a proper caretaker for our furry friends. In addition I own/have owned cats, snakes, lizards, hamsters, fish. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or think that my set of skills and services may be the right fit for you. Looking forward to hearing from you! Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss you and your pets' needs in regards to scheduling, whether it be a one time event or recurring need. I am happy to come provide care and services where your dog(s) feel safest and most comfortable: their home. Walks can be provided in familiar areas or, if they are the adventurous type, enriching and exciting walks will be the focus.

About: I have been walking dogs including my own as well as done plenty of dog sitting for up to 3 weeks at a time. I have been doing this on and off for about 15 years. I pride myself on being a dog person and being someone others can count on. I’d love to take your dog on a walk! I am available early in the morning and in the afternoon. I have my availability set to 3pm however on a case by case basis I can absolutely provide services into the evening. I walk dogs with patience, calmness, and understanding. I grew up with Australian Shepherds and currently own two Siberian Huskies, so I’m very experienced with energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds. Safety is always a priority for me, and I stay aware of other dogs and surroundings during walks — I’m happy to cross the street or create space when needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. I believe in positive, respectful handling. If your dog pulls, I won’t yell or punish them; instead, I’ll calmly stop and wait until they’re ready to continue. I also believe walks should be enjoyable and enriching, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy all the exciting spots along the way. Every dog is different, and I’ll always be mindful of your dog’s individual abilities, energy level, personality, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for on our adventures together.

About: I grew up with animals: dogs, cats, a rabbit, a guinea pig, birds, fish, a degu, and hamsters. I can’t imagine my life without animals. I currently have two large dogs, and our cat unfortunately passed away almost a year ago. I am trained in animal-assisted therapy because I deeply believe in the connection between humans and animals. I am currently on maternity leave, which allows me to have time during the day to take care of your animals. I can come with my baby during the day on weekdays if that doesn’t bother you, or without my baby on weekends. I take the time to give them treats, pet and cuddle them, while also making sure they seem to be doing well and are eating properly. I clean the litter boxes at each visit.
“Bree took amazing care of our cat. Fed and cared for him as well as sending some time with him so he wasn't lonely. Bree provided great care for our cat and was very kind and respectful. Wouldn't hesitate to book Bree again to take care of our cat.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have a dog and a cat. My dog is very high energy and anxious, so I’ve had to learn training and routines to keep her safe and happy. I work part time in Petawawa, so I have flexible availability through the week & almost all weekends for drop in visits. I can provide feeding, playtime, potty breaks, give medications and follow specific routines as needed. I provide drop in visits in the pets own home. In my experience, they are much more comfortable in their own environments and routines. As an owner of an anxious dog, I know how hard it can be to change up their routine.
About: I bring a mix of youthful energy and dependable care as a second year university student with years of hands on pet experience. I have had a chocolate lab of my own for the past five years and have grown up around so many different family and friends dogs of all kinds. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppy training to gentle senior care, and I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality. I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and engaged while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. 🥰 I’m currently not working while living in Peterborough and taking classes, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pups all the love, attention, and care they deserve! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every moment you’re away! 😊 Because I’m currently living in a student home, I’m unable to host pets in my own space—but I’m more than happy to care for them in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I can drop in for visits, take them on fun walks, feed them, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

I am so lucky to have found Karine and Sarah. They are the best sitters someone could ask for. My dogs are high energy and can be a bit of a handful to handle and I feel so confident leaving them in their care while I'm away. Thank you both for all that you do!
