Dog Walkers in Picton

“This was the first time I have left my dogs and was a bit apprehensive on how they would do. Donna was great with them & her photos showed very happy dogs. I will definitely call upon her again.”

About: My family always had a menagerie of pets growing up including dogs, cats, rabbits and pigs. As an adult my home has always included a pet. I love caring for pets of all types and sizes and would care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. I am currently an End of Life Doula and am working on getting a writing career off the ground so I have tons of flexibility because most of my work is done from home. I recognize that people are very particular when it comes to their pet care and I'm great at following directions. I don't need to question or judge your decisions that you make for your pets.

About: My experience is walking, bathing, playing and I’ve taught my own dog a few tricks, cuddling. I have my own dog at home so I think I have what it takes to walk or care for other people’s animals My schedule is pretty open during the week Monday-Friday as I am just casual at my day job. Any hours between 11am-11pm is good for me I’m very loving to all kinds of animals and I’m very patient with them. I’m very cautious when I’m out walking dogs, I always have a nice strong grip on the leash

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My approach focuses on creating a comfortable and loving environment, ensuring that each pet feels safe and happy while their owner is away. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with pets on a personal level. I have a knack for understanding their unique personalities and needs, which allows me to provide tailored care. Additionally, I am familiar with training puppies, helping them learn basic commands and good manners through positive reinforcement techniques. I also have experience caring for senior pets, ensuring they receive the extra attention and comfort they need during their golden years. With a commitment to reliable service and open communication, I strive to offer pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pets will receive the love and care they deserve! *Please note I have a 15lb Bichon Frisée that accompanies me. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and friendly with other dogs and cats.* I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate various pet care needs, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to offering them personalized attention and support whenever you need it. When caring for pets in their home during visits, walks, or overnight stays, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs. I follow the owner’s guidelines regarding feeding, routines, and any special care instructions, ensuring that pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I ensure that all doors and gates are secure to prevent any escapes and monitor pets closely at all times. I will keep your space tidy and follow any house rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, keeping you connected and informed about your pets’ well-being.

About: My first two clients here in the last few months are great pets and their owners are kind and appreciative but these are HUGE doggies. I get quite the workout, I'll just say that. It's funny, I feel like the Dog Whisperer, but only for monster-sized canines! Never knew I was a dog person until I met my girl's Mini Aussie Doodle, Rosie. Now I don't know how I ever got along without her. It's nice to finally have a purpose! I walked dogs for the Humane Society for a time, which was challenging certainly, but I met a lot of characters there! I have a very flexible schedule, splitting my time between my girlfriend's home in Peterborough and my mom's house in Lindsay and my dog-walking responsibilities in Dunsford and Warsaw Ontario, so it seems like I'm always on the move! I'm a writer and a composer, so many of my creative and artistic endeavors can be pursued almost anytime, leaving me suitable and flexible time slots to arrange walking, visits and stays! I always make time for what's important, and to me, getting outside with a four-legged friend is pretty special and I'm grateful and honored for the opportunity to be in their life! I do whatever is needed to make sure whatever four-legged friend I'm looking after and trusted is happy and comfortable while paying the proper attention necessary to the dog and not getting distracted, and always following the list of needs drawn out by the pet owner, however they want the leash, if they need brushing and paws wiped off after the walk, treats or no treats, I'm there to do whatever the client needs.

About: I have worked with dogs in a professional setting for over 3 years! I have interacted with 100’s of different dogs, allowing me to develop my own approach to training and pet care that focuses on building a long-lasting relationship full of trust! Working with so many dogs, I have interacted with several different dogs of temperaments and needs. From puppies just a few hours old, to elderly requiring intense medication and care. My current dog is 10 years old, who I rescued 2 years ago. She is a husky mix, full of attitude and sass and my absolute other half! I have taken Pack Pro, Dog Guru 1 &2 training that focuses on canine body language and basic training. Moreso, I am well versed in first-aid and have put it to practice on multiple different occasions. Working with dogs is my passion, and I am always eager to learn more. I have communicated and shadowed under some of the top trainers in North America and am constantly looking to expand my skills. I work full-time currently and have recently finished my college program. Due to my current schedule, I have plenty of availability and am quite flexible. Having pets of my own I understand how difficult it can be at times to find someone you trust! I understand the importance of following owner instruction's and caring for each pet as if it was my own!

About: I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Prince Edward County, moved away to Alberta for 17 years after completing my agricultural diploma. I’ve been caring for animals since I was in diapers and have extensive knowledge of all sorts of animals! I have now returned to the family farm and am offering up my pet services! I have experience with all ages of animals. I’ve been breeding Olde Boston Bulldogs for 15 years now so am no stranger to puppies! I even offer livestock sitting! Horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens, goats you name it ! I myself have a wide range of critters who call the funny farm home. So I’m constantly coming n going looking after my crew and working on a dairy. We have a lovely lane way that we go walking down, the millennial Trail runs through our property too! As well as we have lake front access for swimming! Lots of activities here! We are an active crew. I have dogs and cats here of my own. Along with my horses and cows! My crew is use to meeting new friends on the regular, as we have many friends with pets and spent years offering our funny farm up for a shared space on Airbnb. However, my crew wouldn’t be attending house visits. My parents also share the property and are super good with my crew and visitors. Someone’s usually around!
