“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”

“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”

“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”

“Maria always watches my cat Grayson and does an excellent job caring for him while i’m away! She makes sure his litter is clean and he is fed and that he is happy and comfortable and always sends pictures and videos!!”

“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”

“Meeting Jemily and her family was not only a great experience for my foster, but for us. These are truly loving and amazing people and they took fantastic care of our 7 month old pup. Chloe was clearly happy judging by the videos and pictures that were sent throughout the stay. It was also very apparent by how happy and content she was when we picked her up. I had reservations initially because she lives in an apartment building, however, seeing all the walks to the lake and care that she received changed my mind quickly. I will definitely ok with Jemily in the future with this and any other foster. Our 4 night stay couldn’t have gone better! Thank you for everything 😊”

“Bandit has such a great time with Michael! I cannot say enough good things, and we've already booked more visits. Michael is truly a dog person, great with senior doggos and very kind and communicative.”

About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 6 years, caring for dogs and cats. And I’ve been fostering for 6 years as well. I’ve had a love for animals since before I can remember. They are my passion. I care for every single one of them as my own I’m a stay at home mom. I don’t have a lot planned right now other than some up north trips and a wedding to plan. Our house can be chaos with all the animals and 2 kids. But everyone is loved and played with. We can go for walks as our neighborhood is not as busy.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have always had a special love for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need extra patience and calm. I’m known for being responsible, attentive, and caring. I always follow each family’s routines, provide enjoyable walks, and make sure every pet feels safe and happy, just like at home. My priority is to create an environment of trust, love, and well-being. I strive to make every dog enjoy their time with me and keep open communication with owners, so they can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s needs, giving them quality time, walks, play, and personalized attention. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—they bring me peace and happiness. I always strive to create a calm and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care. The safety and comfort of every pet are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or at the owner’s home, I make sure they are in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and keep their day as normal as possible. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding schedules, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure their well being. My goal is to create a peaceful and loving atmosphere where every pet feels cared for, respected, and happy while their owners are away.
“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.”

About: I have had pets my whole life, we currently have a golden retriever/german shepherd mix. My 8 year old son wants to be a vet. We have a large enclosed backyard I work from home and my son and I would be happy to take our dogs for walks together. There are many trails nearby, walking distance I have a fenced yard and a large dog. She is friendly and always up for playing. She would love to run around with your dog. Aiming to dog sit smaller dogs so my son can easily walk your dog while I walk Daisy.
“Melissa clearly loves dogs, and gave Chloe a happy place to stay. She has a fenced yard, and a dog of her own, so Chloe was not alone at all. Also, she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up, we traveled out of state and had a weather delay on our return, Melissa was very gracious, so we were able to not feel stressed. Thanks, Melissa and Willow!!”

“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”

About: Have a history of dog breeding and care, love all pets. We currently have 2 small dogs, our cat passed way last year sadly, but we love both. I am currently not working outside the home and so I am available every day for your pets needs. I can care in my home or in your home. I have a fully fenced in yard where even the smallest dog cannot get out. In your home I am available to help them feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Most of the time more than one. I started looking into doing this on my own after I had such a hard time finding a place for my own babies when I went on vacation. There is a huge backyard for them to play. And plenty of space for them to sleep at night. There are plenty of doggy beds, but if you prefer to bring your babies bed/bedroom feel free to do so. I work from a home office. During the day, I take breaks and go outside with them for a bit. Other than that, they will have open access to a back yard to play all day long. Or if you or they prefer, we could keep them inside. I would providing the necessary potty breaks several times per day when I take a break. I'm very protective of all of them. As animals in my care, they are my responsibility to make sure they're kept safe. I take it very seriously.
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.
About: I’ve been in love with cats for as long as I can remember, there has always been room for a cat in my home, I grew up with three cats. I have personal experience of taking care of my cats since I was ten years old. I’ll be happy to meet some new kitty friends. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to visit your kitty whenever suits their schedule. I usually have weekends free, and during the weekdays, I’m free after 2 pm. I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet kitty! I have a good space in my apartment. Unfortunately, I don’t have my kitty here, so that I can focus all my time and affection on your kitty.
