“Heather is awesome! She arrived right on time, my dog was happy to leave with her (which isn't always the case with a stranger) and met me back at my place early, at my request, when I messaged her saying I had returned early. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all my messages. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

“Carolyn is wonderful. Our dog, Roger, adores her - he always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for. She takes him on great off leash adventures and her communication is excellent. I always look forward to her updates and photos. We feel very lucky to have her, and Roger does too!”

“Very quick to respond, very quick to come walk my dog. Punctual and awesome! Highly recommend”

Yard is not currently fenced but that project will be completed in 2026. So leash walks are provided. Home backs onto a green space so there are good opportunities for walks. I often plan day trips to provide additional walking experiences. I also have 2 Siamese cats in the home.

About: I grew up working in farming. Sheep and cattle. I’ve owned and extensively worked with Border Collies, Great Pyrenees and Maremmas. I have since moved into town and own a french bull dog and a lovely cat. I love spending time with dogs, caring for dogs and taking them on fun outings. I work part time with a flexible schedule and have plenty of time and energy to care of fluffy friends. I am very active and frequent the many walking trails and hikes in the area on a daily bases with my dog Francis. I believe nearly every activity of daily life is more fun with an animal in tow. I have a large fully fenced yard and a large five bedroom house. No small children. I have a well mannered french bulldog and a lovely cat. They are very well socialized. I would prefer to pet sit in my own home but am happy to also go to yours.

About: I am a pet lover through and through. My dog Norah is a snug bug and an adventure companion. I a very patient and attentive dog watcher. Whether your dog just loves a warm lap or a run in the woods, I will prioritized their needs. I am flexible with an active pup or a more shy and or protective dog. I am well studied in positive reinforcement and will assist in any areas you are working on with your four legged friends. 🐾 I live close to parks and the sea wall. I frequently visit North Shore trails for hikes and forest waks. I work four days a week very close to home and go home everyday to visit my pup at my lunch hour. I am active in the evenings and weekends and love to be outdoors when ever I can. Daily park walks and weekend hikes are a guarantee I offer strength based conditioning and consistent commands. I would offer to find out what each dog needs and modify based on client’s preferences. With my dog I am persistent and consistent and offer treat and love based reward for a job well done. For instance: Norah gets a dried fish after every successful walk when she does her business outside!

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover all of my life, I have a particular love for cats and dogs and have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own! I have a kind and compassionate nature and my goal in life is to pet as many dogs as possible. I have a soft spot for cats and would be happy to do drop on visits with playtime, feeding and litter box cleanings as well. If your cat likes to be walked, I can do that too! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends as well as earning your trust. Lastly I promise to treat your furry friends as if they were my own. If you have any questions feel free to ask! ( as a side note I can also feed, water and collect chicken eggs while you are away on vacation) My availability varies week by week, upon requests I can discuss availability and determine if I would be a suitable sitter for your pets. I do have a vehicle and can accommodate multiple drops ins during the day. In a clients home I would make sure I am caring for the animal as to not disrupt their normal routine. If a cat is sat at my home they will have their own kitty paradise in a spare room along with their food, water, litter. This is to ensure a low stress environment for all involved.

“Raven was super fast to respond and available on short notice. I was happy she was open to a quick meet and greet with our dog before she walked him the next day. She sent lots of adorable photos from the walk. Very great first time experience on Rover!”

About: I have 10 plus years experience owning a dog and dog sitting for family and friends dogs. My dog is very active so I ensure we get out for 2 shorter walks each morning and evening to do their business and a longer afternoon walk rain or shine. We have had many great experiences having dogs stay with us. Must get along with our dog and be good with kids (we have 3 young kids). Dogs must be potty trained and adaptable to staying in our home (unfortunately we cannot accommodate dogs with anxiety/ separation anxiety as we have kids and a dog of our own and do not have the capacity to attend and spend too much time comforting extra attention). Work casually. I work around my partners schedule. I sometimes work evenings and weekends. I try not to book work if we have dogs staying with us to focus on the dogs. Between both of us someone is always home with the dogs. Semi fenced yard. If your dog is larger and or tries to escape they may be able to jump over the gate. Our dog never tries to but we usually take dogs we are caring for on leashed walks for the outside business. Trail walks in afternoon (prefer off leash but can do leashed walks if required). Cannot walk a larger dog that pulls and tugs on leash as I cant keep control of those dogs. We often allow dogs on couch and have had some on our bed - no longer allowed as we've had accidents and no longer can accommodate your dogs on our beds. Please send their own dog bed.

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple house pets & got my first dog at 15. I hike with my dogs every weekend with long walks during the week. I got into pet sitting after I dog sat for friends and family for years. I have experienced with multiple different behavioural and medical needs (pets in diapers, needles for diabetes, heart medications, reactive large breeds, etc) & a wide range of experience caring for different types of animals including cats, dogs, ferrets, sugar gliders, farm animals, etc. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for larger animals as well. I treat each animal like my own and can cater to the needs of each individual pet. I work as a homeless outreach worker for CMHA. My husband is a car salesman at Van isle FORD. I like to let my pets out at least every 2 hours, but we also spend lots of time outside. I spend most my time outside of work with my dogs, going on hikes, walks, swims or participating in one of my favourite sports. I have a large 2 story home so there’s lots of room for animals if they are inside. If they aren’t, that’s okay too. I live on 3/4 of an acre and have a fully fenced yard with two separate spaces if there’s multiple pets. I have 2 amazing dogs at home - one who loves to have some company, and although the other one rules the house, she steers clear of other pets. My cat is basically a dog, he’s the best.

About: I've owned and cared for many dogs and cats in the last 10 years. With my new living situation I'm not allowed to own any animals. I miss my animal connections and I thought this way I'm able to care for animals while helping out those who need, a win-win situation. I currently work morning and evening shifts about 2-4 times a week. I currently have no other commitments and I can be free when need be. I can sit at home with your dog, go for walks, drop by and feed when needed. If your dog is good in cars we could go for a drive. For cats, I love to hang out with and feed also!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am gentle with pets and pets usually love hanging out with me . I am working full time and available on weekends or statutory holidays.

About: I have taken care of animals as small as cats and Shih Tzus all the way up to Irish Wolfhounds and horses! No animal is too big or small! (Excluding boarding since I can’t exactly bring a horse into my apartment haha) I am currently working part time so I can likely find time to fit in the pup. I am quite flexible and the animals come first! At my home the puppers would have 2-3 walks per day and potty breaks every 2-4 hours depending on the pup! I have multiple great trails within walking distance and a plethora more within a short drive!

“Dorothy was very dependable and friendly. Winnie enjoyed her day at Dorothy’s home. Winnie went on a 1 hour walk and felt very comfortable with Dorothy. I will rebook for sure!!”
