“Our dog had a great stay with Sheilagh and Teresa-- and we loved getting the pictures to show it. Sheilagh was quick to respond and went over and above in their care for our dog (a husky with lots of energy). Thanks for the great care, Sheilagh and Teresa!”
“This was the first time Bobby and i have been separated and he was very anxious after i departed - Gretel sent me daily pictures of him and updated me of his progress - i know they spent extra attention to Bobby - iit was a great atmosphere with some dogs over night and some daily babysitting in a family atmosphere -- Thank You”
“Loghan was a great sitter for our dog Riley while we were away for a few weeks. We felt assured leaving our older dog, who requires meds with Logan. Enjoyed getting updates along the way and that they enjoyed their time together.”
“We left our boy with Bryan, Raisa and their little pup for a week while we went on vacation. Our 8 year old dog can be nervous and anxious when away from his home and they offered a calm environment where he felt comfortable right away. They kept him busy with walks and plays, cuddled him at home if he was anxious, and they kept us in the loop with photos and videos of our boy always looking happy and content. I was quite nervous about leaving our boy but I couldnt have found better people to care for him. We picked him up after they just took him for a final walk and he was happy and tired out. They have a lovely large yard, that feels like you are out in the country, yet you are just outside the city. I could not recommend this kind, relaxed household more. We had to make some last minute changes and they were very helpful and accommodating. Our dog will definetely be back!”
“Shae was so good and affectionate with Penny. Penny seemed to have the best time of her life with Shae. Shae gave me updates and pictures so I knew how my Penny was doing. When I picked her up, she was sooo exhausted from the walk, which I loved it since Penny usually has a lot of energy, and the rain season has been gloomy. But Shae did her best enjoying the day with my baby girl. Definitely recommend Shae for your fur babies!”
About: I have always loved taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have a lot of experience being around and helping all different pets. I am a very active person and walk and go on runs everyday. I walk at-least 5km everyday so i would be very happy to walk your dog any distance or for any time requested. I am very friendly and am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats. My friends often drop off their dogs at my house and i will happily walk them and spend time with them. I am currently certified in Standard First Aid and CPR. I used to be a Lifeguard and would guard dog swims all the time. I have a G license and a car so i am able to drive to your pet when needed. I walk everyday so I would be happy to walk with a dog and help others. I am available most days at any time. I need a day notice, sometimes even the day of. I will walk your dog however long you would like me too. Once i even walked a marathon so i enjoy walking a lot. My home is very tidy and clean. It is a bungalow with a half fenced yard with grass space. I will gladly pet sit the dog during the day or at night if needed.
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”
“Emily and Scott are really nice and responsible host. They also have a lovely and friendly dog that our dog become really good friend with after several days of staying. They took really good care of our dog and she is really happy and clean upon picking up. We really appreciate them for helping us taking care our dog.”
About: I’ve been caring and keeping dogs company since I was 17. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and provide loving companionship for their pups. I’m a totally dog person-can’t imagine the world without them! I’m currently work from home, giving me plenty of flexible time to care for your pets. I’m fully available on both weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I live in a house with a patio and unfenced yard, offering plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. We’re just a 10-minutes walk from Peterborough off-leash dog park, perfect for adding some extra fun and adventure to your puppy’s day!
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Sarah and Family were great. Our German Shepherd, Fritz, spent a week with them. We were provided with alot of updates, and pictures and videos of a very happy boy with lots of walks and playtime.”
“Ellie instantly bonded to Rojina ( Seyyedehhosna) which put us at ease. Her daily updates including pictures showed us how happy she was and the excellent care she was receiving. Rojina's love for all animals is very evident and we would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: My name is Toby (yes, that in itself is a dog's name).. I love all animals but given my lifestyle and pet experiences (over 40 years) most of my experience is with domestic dogs and cats - mostly rescues. Our family home always had a pet - be it a dog, cat or both...our first family dog was 'BINGO' - a minature collie - we loved him so much. He was part of our life for over 14 years. My mom was the 'dog decision maker' in the house and everyone else in the family adored and pitched in as needed to ensure the pet had the best quality of life. We had a variety of rescues - a greyhound, black lab and now we have a rat terrier and a beagle mutt. I've also always lived with 1 or 2 domestic cats. I've had many of my own cats over the years ...all of my cats have been rescues: Libby, Macho, Nuts, Boltz, and Danny. Our cats and dogs have always co-existed with no issues - it's about the humans and proper integration. Bottom line, I have to have pets around me - they bring so much joy. I want to provide a calm, safe, comfortable loving experience for each pet I am responsible for be it walking, home visit, taxi service, home boarding etc.... UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2022: I recently moved to Peterborough. My house is located 1 block from the Peterborough Regional Hospital so my hope is to provide direct support to those in need of pet care while they are in hospital or a friend /loved one is. I will be providing 'emergency' pet care service - last minute bookings for those in need that meet scope of care requirements. Often it's a big stressor not knowing how their pet (small dog) is going to be cared for when in hospital ( often an unexpected situation) be it over night or for an extended period of time. In addition, I am now a licensed/insured Certified PSW (Centennial College). While my interests and services are based around dog care/support , I can supplement with PSW abulatory, lower needs personal support/companion care. My home (single family dwelling with large fenced yard in quiet area) will have 2 fully furnished bedrooms and a full washroom set up for qualified family members/friends of those who may have loved ones hospital and need a place nearby.

“I can’t thank Vicki and her family enough for taking wonderful care of my 1 year old puppy, Daisy, while I was away for the long weekend! From the moment I met them, I felt at ease knowing she would be with such caring people. They provided her with plenty of playtime, walks, attention, love, made a special effort to stick to her routine, while also training! I'm walking a different pup these days. Just amazing bonuses! I also received updates and adorable photos that reassured me she was happy and well-loved. When I picked her up, Daisy was thriving and clearly had a great time! I highly recommend this amazing family to anyone in need of a loving pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”

Loghan too wonderful care of our puppy while we were away. He sent lots of photos and was easy to communicate with. We love that he got our puppy out on lots of walks. She came home exhausted. We will definitely book with Loghan the next time we are heading out of town. Thank you for taking such great care of River!

Brooke was terrific with our Springer Spaniel. Murphy received lots of attention, many walks and Brooke had the flexibility to spend time with him in the morning, at mid-day and evening. Murphy was very happy and content when we picked him up. I would definitely use Brooke again when needed.
I’m so grateful to have found Vanessa to look after my dog, Kenzo, for three days. She was incredibly communicative and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Kenzo bonded with her right away you can truly tell she’s loving, patient, and understands dogs. She even went above and beyond by offering pickup and dropoff, which was so helpful. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Kenzo will definitely be visiting her again!
I would happily ask Rhonda to dog sit for me again (and I plan to!). She spent a week with my dog while I was on vacation and not only took great care of him, but my home as well - she went above and beyond. She was extremely communicative and even sent me photos while I was away and it looked like they had a great time. My dog has some trust issues and Rhonda really managed him well. He seemed to really like her and let down his guard. Thank you so much again Rhonda, you were fantastic! We look forward to seeing you again. :)
