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!

About: We’ve had pets our whole lives - Alexa with dogs & Andrew with cats. 🫶 We’re comfortable with both puppies and seniors alike as Alexa’s had experience with all age ranges & the unique needs that come with these stages! In the same vein, we’ve cared for various types of personalities, breeds & sizes of dogs. We’re familiar with a diverse range of dogs and are always happy to accommodate their needs and lifestyles. We also have a pup of our own named Bruno, who is the complete epitome of a gentle giant. He truly is the best rescue boy we could’ve ever asked for! He’s had a unique past with roots from Manitoba - leaving him blind in one eye, a torn ear, half of his teeth missing & a rare kidney worm that ate up his entire right kidney. Fun fact - the 🪱 was 70 cm long & the clinic streamed the surgery for OVC students to watch given the extreme & rare nature of it all 😳 With that said, we’ve had a long journey to get to where we are with him health-wise, and are confident with other dogs’ needs. Bruno’s amazing with boundaries & will only initiate play when consented by other dogs. He’s had experience with all types of dogs - high energy, social, docile - you name it. His patience & control is top notch and plays a huge part in why we’re so confident in opening our doors to other dogs. 😊 We both work 9-5’s remotely and are very flexible with our schedules. Just provide us more insight into your dog’s lifestyle & we can absolutely work to accommodate it. Knowing their walking schedules, play time & any need for enrichment will allow us to coordinate in advance. :) Our weekend tradition is going on off-leash trails in the morning where we let Bruno roam around. 🥰 We have a fully detached home with a *newly* fenced backyard that’s been an absolute game changer for us with Bruno 🥹! Your fur babies are more than welcome to run around & use it freely. We also have an extra crate in our home & baby gates for the house in case you need added layers of security & protection for peace of mind. ☺️

Rachita has been available last minute to help us out and very prompt when answering requests. We don’t have to worry when she’s taking care of our dog. He can be a handful sometimes but he quickly warmed up to Rachita and we have quickly become repeat clients. Thank you to Rachita and her husband.

About: I have had different animals all throughout my life and have always been taught to treat them with respect and love. I have dog walked in the past, but mostly take care of my own personal animals, but rest assured I would treat your fur-baby with the same love & attention I treat my own! I currently work full time but am looking to fit in some other work (and fun) outside of my current 9-5. Weekends are much more flexible, I am best suited for early morning, late afternoon/early and late evening walks. I always make sure to follow clients instructions exactly as given, and pride myself on ensuring clear communication on both ends so everyone is safe and satisfied.

About: Dogs in our home are treated like family. I provide a safe, loving and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable, relaxed and cared for while they are away from home. Since I was a child I have always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has always been something I truly love. For me, dogs are like little family members and I enjoy giving them attention, affection and proper care. We have a calm home environment and a good routine that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable during their stay. Our daily routine includes: • Morning potty breaks • Feeding schedules according to the owner’s instructions • Playtime and social interaction • Walks when needed • Quiet nap times throughout the day Dogs who spend the day here usually go home happy and tired after a full day of play and activity. Puppies are very welcome here 🐾 We especially love caring for puppies and small dogs. We understand their energy, their need for attention, and their routines. Puppies require patience and supervision, and we are very comfortable caring for them. We also have a very loved puppy at home named Odin. He is gentle, friendly and well socialized with other dogs. He enjoys playing and helps other dogs burn energy during the day. Our home offers a calm environment where dogs can play, rest and feel safe. in the morning we go out with them to take care of their needs, feed them three times a day, change the water, a calm and peaceful environment for rest. if necessary, we can go for a walk more than once a day. we take care of them with great confidence and love, always attentive to the dog and its needs. Passing on affection and trust. we always do the best I can.

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.

Emily is very good with animals. Our dog Charlie took to her immediately at the meet and greet. She is experienced with large dogs and had no problem walking our 80+ pound puppy. She was able to accommodate a regular schedule for a couple of months when I returned to work in office. We will rebook with Emily in the future if our schedules align.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs throughout the past 5 years and continue to do so as my way of being and loving these furry friends as I’m unable to own my own (until I move out haha). I have experience with fostering dogs of all types. I can assure you, your pup is in great hands of someone who is very attentive, playful and loves going for strolls. I love making new friends and furry ones at that! I work full time however I do work from home most days. I’m in office on Mondays and Thursdays with the odd day here or there. I am able to care in the evenings after 6pm, or midday during my work from home days from 11-1:30. I also have many weekends free. I do ask for a weeks notice as things do come up and I keep a detailed calendar on hand I offer services at clients homes due to the allergies I have at my own. In your home, I will make note of your furry friends favourite things and least favourite things as you discuss with me. I will be sure to ask for anything that may stick out as a question and I don’t hold back on understanding your dog better, so apologies for the list of questions I may ask at the start, I’m just wanting to make your dogs day better! I like to also keep note of behaviours and activities I notice to hello your dog feel most comfortable around me. Introducing and stating off slow is my best method as I allow for the dog to warm up to me

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.

Mathusan and Keishiya are fantastic. We had a meetup, a test walk, and they asked a ton of questions about Beckham to fully understand his needs. After learning more about him, Keishiya even made some recommendations on training best practices and supplements. They truly show him the highest level of care and I feel so at ease with them caring for my boy. Plus, Beckham adores them (AND Peaches)!
