“Alycia and her family are kind, patient and enthusiastic about watching our beloved Rolo. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos and videos! I felt very confident in leaving my dog with Alycia. ❤️”

“We just cannot thank Elizabeth (Jayne) enough for all the love and attention she gave our old boy, Jack while we were away on vacation. Jayne was happy to be in touch with us and regularly sent pics and videos. Jack doesn’t always do well without us, but he settled in quickly and absolutely loved all the walks, love and attention he got at Jayne’s house! Jack is diabetic so it was such a relief knowing that Jayne had lots of experience giving insulin too. We will most definitely be calling Jayne again! Thank you, Jayne!”

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.

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!

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, Jacob and I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. We are both experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal we meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Together, Jacob and I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing us to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. We are comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always our top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and both Jacob and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behavior and individualized care, we tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for us—they’re our passion. We genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. With two dedicated and experienced caregivers, your pets receive extra attention, flexibility, and peace of mind. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Esten and Maddie were fantastic with Callie! Their house is super dog friendly and they kept us updated throughout her stay. Would absolutely book with them again!”

“Alessia was wonderful in watching my dog over a weekend! This was my first time leaving him overnight with someone else and she was amazing in keeping him safe and happy ? I also loved how responsive she was in her responses and appreciated her flexibility when I had to request an additional night for her to watch him. Would highly recommend Alessia’s services and would book with her again!”

Anh L.

“My dog never likes kennels or being boarded, ever. But she seemed to really like Jessica's! Jessica accepted our last minute request, and we are glad she did, as we have now found our go-to boarding place. Her dog seemed calm and gentle, which is exactly what our dog needed. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”

Lisa P.

“Our dog, Manu, recently spent 9 days in the care of Jane & Gordon. We were very satisfied with the care Manu received and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask Jane & Gordon to care for him in future.”

Janice L.

“Andrea took excellent care of our 11 week old pup. She was thoughtful and sent us updates of how our pup was doing. With our pup being so new we were very concerned with leaving her but Andrea was very kind and caring. We were very fortunate to have found Andrea. We highly recommend her and look forward to her watching our pup again.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a young child, and have raised and trained two puppies over the years. I love taking dogs on walks and have extensive experience caring for dogs large and small. I work from home with a flexible schedule so caring for your dogs is integrated very easily into my day. I love to walk and I take my own dog on walks several times a day. I have a 2-acre yard that your dog can enjoy on or off leash along with my very friendly 5 year old Rottie mix named Riley. I am able to crate dogs if needed.

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.

We have pet cams set up so we always have visibility to the pet areas of the house be it inside or outside. The home is fully air conditioned. Outside what the pet owner has outlined and delegated, we do not provide pet food or treats during their stay to avoid any digestive /medical issues. Wr do not let dogs off leash at any time. We do not take pets into off leash dog parks. Some other requests to ensure the site remains as safe and tidy as possible at all times: Please bring your pet clean & dry.

The home is safe, quiet, clean and relaxing...the pets bring life to it - each one is unique - each day will be different but always fun, relaxed and follow instructions provided by pet owners.

For day care/boarding we have a fully-fenced in yard that is accessible when weather permits. We have a lovely neighborhood to walk the dogs on leash. (sidewalks/quiet)

“Martha took amazing care of my two girls, you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. She was always quick to respond and sent many videos and picture updates. My girls came home very happy and if I ever need a sitter in the area again I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with her.”

Meaghan C.

About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!
