Dog Walkers in Pickering

About: Hi! I’m Jahzara 😊 I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, where I’ve gained valuable skills in animal care, behavior, and monitoring health. I’ve cared for a variety of pets through Rover and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or companionship, I always aim to provide a calm, attentive, and safe environment — especially for pets who may be shy or very bonded to their families. At the moment, my schedule can vary due to work commitments, so I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and care they deserve. I’m always happy to communicate and find something that works when possible! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets 🐾 I currently work in an animal hospital and have a busy schedule, so my availability can vary week to week. I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can provide reliable and attentive care for each pet. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! The specific tasks and level of care will depend on the pet's individual needs and the services provided, but typically include feeding, grooming, exercise, health monitoring and companionship.

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.

“We booked Mathusan on short notice for 3 walks this week. He was very responsive and worked with us for all the logistics. We started with a meet and greet and instantly, Audley loved him! They had the best cuddles and she felt really comfortable which was important to us. He also gave us timely and regular updates which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Mathusan and Keishiya provided great suggestions to help navigate puppyhood. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing sitter/walker!”

“Alexa and Andrew were amazing to work with! Despite all the puppy energy, they were very accommodating and knew how to handle our pup during the walk. They went above and beyond by wiping paws and were very patient and understanding with all of our requests. Would recommend them to other fur parents!”

About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. I have a fenced yard and a safe, comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable.

“I can’t recommend Randy enough! When I faced an emergency and couldn’t be there for my three ESA bullies, who are my world, Randy stepped in and went above and beyond. He cared for them like they were his own, feeding them, walking them, and even taking them by the river. He adapted perfectly to my rescue, and even helped him gain confidence despite being scared of his own shadow, and made sure all three felt safe and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Truly outstanding service—thank you, Randy!”

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a special bond with animals. I grew up caring for two Yorkies who were my whole world - I helped raise them from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them all the love, care, and comfort they needed as they aged. I now have a Maltese Poodle named Maddie! She loves to people watch and eat bananas 😋 I’ve also cared for animals like cats, fish, and even birds, I am currently a student at University of Toronto, on my way to become a Veterinarian. Animals naturally cling to me, and I truly believe they sense how much I love and understand them. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’m available any day of the week and can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs - whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening cuddle time. As a student and aspiring veterinarian, caring for animals is a big part of my life already, and I make sure every pet I care for gets my full attention, love, and consistency. When caring for pets - whether in my home or yours -safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel secure and at ease. I always follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions exactly as given. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and maintain a calm, clean environment that your pet is familiar with. If your pet is with me, they’ll have a safe, pet-friendly space to relax, play, and receive all the love and attention they need. I’m very mindful of things like open doors, secure leashes, and keeping harmful items out of reach. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or active play, I’m there to create a safe, loving environment they can thrive in.

“Sal was super excited to go on a walk with Krystal and he looked really happy after the walk. Highly recommend Krystal as she is timely and responds very quickly!”

“Alexandra is the first dog walker we’ve ever had for our 1.5 Bernese mountain dog. When I found myself injured this week and unable to walk our pup, she was super flexible and made herself available to help! She has fantastic communication, and I can tell already that Lucky loved her time with her. Thanks so much Alexandra!”

About: I'm willing to walk your adorable pet, no matter the age and energy level! I want to give them a fun time and destress together! Currently only have online school in the summer which frees up availability. Otherwise I am free to walk your dogs any days of the week! I have a fenced backyard, safe house environment and an adorable 12 year old shih-tzu. Lots of walking areas to explore for your lovely pet

About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.

About: I HAVE EXPANDED MY PET SERVICES TO INCLUDE DOG WALKING. I have owned dogs for most of my life. I would love to be your dog's buddy and enjoy some walk with him/her. I am knowledgeable regarding training of dogs. So, give me a woof if you require help with either walks or drop-in visits. I hope to be your best friend's other best friend. Whether for work or pleasure my goal is to give you peace of mind to allow you to take in those precious memories while knowing I will give 100% of my attention and loving care to your cat or clowder (group of cats in case you were wondering...) while you are gone. I will ensure that your favorite feline family member(s) have fresh food, fresh water and a clean litter box(es). I will also keep your space and theirs clean and tidy so when you return from a long flight home you can put your feet up and enjoy relaxing with your feline family whom you will have missed and vice versa. If needed I will ensure that your feline family member(s) receives their and I have experience with giving a variety of medications to animals. I am confident giving asthma puffers in kitty designed aero-chambers, administerimg insulin injections 💉 as well as administerimg subcutaneous fluids. I will spend my visit(s) with your cat playing with their favourite toy, grooming or simply cuddling. If you happen to have a feather 🪶 wand toy... my kitty Joy will tell you I am quite the pro at playing. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've owned both dogs and cats. I currently have 2 cats of my own and if you ask them they will tell you how much they are loved. I am somewhat biased and no offense to canines out there but I declare myself to most definitely be a "cat person" LOL. I feel very closely connected to cats in ways one might describe as a "cat-sense" to most cats and feel I am able to bond easily with cats much like some people can form quick connections with dogs or children. I am a mature 50 year old woman and am offering services to cat parents for cat drop-in visits, short 30-minute ones, to several hours or if requested overnight stays in your home. I am available to attend to your cat(s) several times a day should you require multiple visits. While in your home you can trust that my focus will be on your cat(s) and that I will respect your privacy and your home. No one else will ever accompany me and I will treat your home with respect and keep it clean. I also don't mind bringing in your mail for you or watering any plants you might have. I will sweep up or vacuum any litter messes, kibble messes and frequently wash out food bowls and ensure the food preparation area is clean as well. This is all I do and I love my work. I am quite flexible and will work within your needs and schedule. I am available 7 days a week. I have spent several years focusing on and creating an exclusive cat based client base on an app more tailored to dogs. Therefore, some of the logistics may be finicky, quite Iike many of our feline friends. Where you see the word "dog" simply replace with "cat" and "puppy" with "kitten". I do not typically charge for an additional cat but if you have 3 or more I will simply add on the small fee for an extended ½ hour visit to a full hour as it does take more time to care for 3+ cats. Please be patient and together we can work to design a purrfect plan for you and your pawsome feline(s). I also understand that caring for your kitty can become costly especially for long vacations and I am willing to work within your budget. Don't be shy and feel free to ask me if I can assist you with lowering rates especially for long overnight stays as I don't wish to burden you with hefty costs on top of your vacation costs. I simply want you you to be happy and comfortable knowing your precious feline family is cared for within a budget we can mutually agree upon. I keep my cats indoors as I find it is much safer for them to remain solely as indoor cats. I will pay special attention when opening doors to make sure they do not sneak out. If your cat is one to roam and come home I will ensure his or her regular needs are met as usual for their return. Sadly this wouldn't be as fun for me because I would miss out on the interacting with them if they arexout and about when I am visiting your home.

“Wonderful first experience for our Bruno! Rachel was patient, accommodating, and took the time to give us helpful updates. We’ll definitely book again.”
