“Neri and Robert are very caring people who love dogs. Our puppy obviously liked them, and felt comfortable with them. Neri took her to visit people in a nursing home, and to Home Depot where our pup could share her gregarious personality. We loved getting Neri’s texts and pictures every day while we were away. We felt comfortable that she was receiving kind and loving care.”
“Maria did such a fantastic job taking care of my cat Jackson while we were traveling over the Christmas holidays. She sent me photo and video updates twice a day, so I always knew Jackson was safe and happy. I highly recommend Maria for you & your pets needs. I will be hiring her again. Thank you again Maria for the peace of mind the whole time Jackson was in your care.”
“I am very happy with the care my two dogs received while staying with Jemily and her family. It was so nice receiving videos and pictures throughout their stay so I could feel confident that they were having a great time and were being well taken care of! I highly recommend her if you are needing someone to care for your pets.”
“Angie and her family took good care of my parent's dog, Murphy. She sent daily photos of the dog and shared some of their activities. Angie was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book her again to care for Murphy. I highly recommend her! 🐾”
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Caitlin was amazing with our fur baby for the week we were away!!! He was well taken care of and she communicates very well with me. This was the first time we had ever been away from him for that long. Caitlin gave us a peace of mind and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation. She even gave him a bath and trimmed his nails for us. I would recommend her and will book with her again for any future boarding needs. Thank you so much, Caitlin!!”
“I loved how comfortable I was leaving my dog at this loving family’s home. I received daily updates and pictures! I will definitely have them watch my dog again when I go out of town!”
“Wow!! Ashely was absolutely amazing. We needed her super super last second and she was able to accommodate us and still make the most out of the day with our pup Franco!!”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Shannon has cared for my senior Chi-weenie in such a loving and kind way! She's added a lot of ease to my work travel, with her updates about how he's doing while I'm away. Awesome all around :)”
“Michael was amazing with our three dogs! I could tell when I picked them up that they had settled in nicely With him. He has amazing energy with dogs that is hard to describe, but is incredibly comforting while you’re away from your fur kids. We will be recommending him for every dog owner we know.”
“Destinea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of Olive! She stayed in contact with regular updates on Olive and even gave her a bath before I picked her up. She watched her over the holidays and I couldn’t have had a better sitter!”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our fur babies! It was a short stay but Chocolate Chip and Remy had so much fun with her dog Willow and the other border, Chase. Little Remy really bonded with Melissa and ended up sleeping with her. He’s a picky eater and Melissa was so kind to hand feed him! Would definitely board our pups with her again.”
About: I have two small dogs Sora and Kira. 11 years old and 12 years old who are friendly, loving , and spoiled girls. With a good balance of snackos and exercises to maintain proper body composition and not get too fat. Clean healthy water and food is so very important for your pets health and we go above and beyond to ensure the best for our pets and yours. I treat every animal as if it is our family member and make it as fun for them as possible. I currently own multiple businesses in Sarnia and have the luxury of working from home now, which gives me the opportunity to serve our community with more hours. I don’t have a traditional job and I can work remotely from my cell phone most of the time. We treat all animals with respect and courtesy, following the outline in which you lay out for care. I don’t smoke and being healthy is important for vitality and life for myself and all of our pets. We never want an animal to go without necessary care that they are accustomed to.
About: I’ve owned dogs since age 13. I don’t currently have any ATM. But trying to get my doggy fix. Dogs are wonderful. I’m blessed to be able to have an opportunity to possibly love on your doggies. Due to physical reasons I’m not able ti walk to dogs but able ti let them out. I currently work full time but I’m fully remote. So my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to come to your home to watch your dogs. Due to physical limitations, I am unable to walk your dogs. But I have 15 years experience with dogs, and I absolutely love animals. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced in yard. Your dog and I would be more comfortable at your house. But if that’s not an option I will make exceptions for coming to my home.
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
About: As your pet sitter, I am responsible for providing companionship and responsibility for your pets while you are away. I will offer complete care for your furry family! I have had dogs all my life growing up, I am experienced with different breeds. I will send you pictures throughout the stay or walk. I am going to school Monday-Thursday and I work a part time job 2 days after school. I am pretty available most days and, I would love to add your pet into my routine. I care for the pets I watch in my clients home. It is best if they are in a comfortable environment they are used to, like their home.
About: Over the years I have watched over many different breeds of dogs, everything from breeding to bathing. I truly enjoy every part of the pet process. We currently have one 8 month old puppy that currently runs the house (or so she thinks) and one cat that actually does run the house. We love them both to the moon and back. I’m available for boarding on weekends at the time so there will be lots of time to play with your pups, maybe even go for a car ride and get a pup cup… I have a fenced yard and a friendly 8 month old puppy to keep your fur baby company while in my care. I can crate your dog if needed…
