About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

“Mackenzie did a great job watching our dog for the weekend. She was very punctual with arrival times and very quick to respond to rover messages. Highly recommend!”

About: I will make sure that your dog feels loved while being away from your care. They will never feel alone because my job is to keep them company and make sure their mind is occupied by going for walks or playing in the backyard. Long story short, your dog will never be bored with me as I will be by their side every second we are together. I have had a dog for 8 years and I treat her like she is my dog child and your dog can expect no different. As for availability, I am pretty flexible and with some notice can be available pretty much anytime I am needed. I hope you trust that I will take good care of your dog child. I currently work part time at two jobs. My first job I typically work 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and am off Tuesdays typically. Then, I work at my other job for 4-5 hour shifts at night Friday to Sunday. If your dog is able to be alone for 4-5 hours at a time that will fit into my available schedule. I cannot however, take care of dogs that are not cage trained. I am also willing to book time off at my weekend job for an extra fee to ensure I can be more available to care for your pets during those days. Otherwise, I want to make sure that your dog or cat knows that they are not alone while you are gone and will do my best to ensure I care for them like they are my own. Day visits and dog walking is more flexible around my work schedule. I like to make sure I take extra good care of a client’s home and that I respect their space as I would want somebody to respect mine. I grew up in a house with a single mother who taught me how to maintain a clean house so I like to do the same when I am staying at someone else’s place. Same goes for their pets. I had my fur baby for more than 10 years between my high school and university years and I loved her more than anything. I want to care for your pets like it is her I am taking care of.

About: Over 17 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, different backgrounds including my furbabies, fostering, caring for transitioned streetdogs to forever homes, I have developed a great connection and understanding of dogs desires for trust and happiness. Caring for pets is an important part of my life. I love animals and believe each animal has a beautiful soul and unique personality 💖 My daily schedule revolves around them to ensure a well-deserved care and love. It's a way of my life. I care for them with dedication and personalized attention. I have fenced yards, and 2 furbabies to keep yours company. You can trust me with your furry family member providing a safe and happy time while they're under my care. I can accommodate to what suits you and your pet best.

“Shelby has been an absolute joy to deal with, and a lifesaver at times! She has been super flexible with scheduling and my Great Dane has really taken a liking to her. Highly recommend!”

“I was in a bind and reached out to Kristen. She was very quick to respond and super friendly. As a first time puppy owner, Kristen understood my anxiety and was extremely calming. She checked in on my puppy and provided me with updates during the check in. I felt a peace knowing that she was able to pop in and look in on my furbaby. I highly recommend Kristen and will definitely be using her services again!”

About: We have years of experience when it comes to dogs from puppies to our dear senior dogs. We love them all and are capable to take care of them. I have a Springer Spaniel which I need to take care of daily. She's needs lots of workouts as a high energy dog and I love it to exercise her. She is also a very big part of our family and needs lots of attention care and love. A pet in my home or a clients home will be taken care of like my own, they will get all the love they need in our scheduled time and also enough exercise to make them tired.

About: I’m a RVT who’s always had a love for animals. I’ve owned dogs all my life, but have also cared for farm animals. I’ve worked in clinics and hospitals, gaining knowledge for all types of pets. I love meeting new furry friends and helping out. I am comfortable in specialized care. Let me know how I can help care for your fur baby 🥰 I have flexible availability, including evening and weekend care. I’ll always do my best to accommodate yours and your pets needs. I’m happy to chat further regarding long term care as well. I will respect your home just as I would mine. Working with a colony of animals, I’ve come across all sorts of housing situations. I am confident in proving the best home care

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years from having 2 cats at home and one dog, I am all taking care of a few dogs in Canada where I study and take them for walks and house sit when the owners are out of town. it helps me take a break from doing whatever to care for the pet and walk it and spend time with an animal for a few hours in a day to get my mindset different. On a daily basis I wake up and feed the dog and then take him/ her for a walk and play with the pet for a while and then take him/ her for an other walk and then at night I feed him/ her again and take him for an other walk and then one more before bed so I’m taking the pet for a walk around 4-5 times a day depends.

About: I've been a pet lover my whole life, a cat owner for 10 years, and a dog owner for 3! I am happy to care for all types of pet personalities - from older, more relaxed dogs who just want some pets and love to more excitable and energic dogs who need long walks and lots of play. I'm used to going for runs and long hikes with my golden so I'm happy to run with your pup. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am a stay at home mom with school age children so I have plenty of time during the day to come care for your pets. Depending on your pet's needs I am able to come 1-3x per day. My own pup is a snack stealing escape artist, so I know how to be super vigilant and will ensure your pets are safe and sound before I leave.

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. We have saved 500 dogs off the streets of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left it late 2021 as the stress was too much but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 5 rescue dogs total: 1. Bulldog (named KD) 2. Beagle (Lucy) 3. Collie (Kody) 4. Husky (Pretzel) 5. Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities. Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is usually always home. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as we can do injections, first aid and CPR. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home every evening/night and usually does evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard with patio stones, straw and wood chips to avoid mud! Concrete around the edges to avoid any escaping. Three of our dogs are well socialized and love to play! The other two we keep separate. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie room".

About: I have taken care of neighbours pets growing up, as well as having dogs and cats in my own home as a child. I currently have a cat and would love to care for others as my own. I work full time in the social services field during the week, but have evening and weekend availability to watch and/or care for your pets. My yard is not fenced, however I am not on a busy street and have ample room to let them run around while ensuring they are safe. I can crate the animal as needed during sleeping hours.

About: Hi my name is Jessie I’ve been working with animals all of my life, I am a certified dog trainer and groomer with a wide range of experience with animals of all kinds, I have a certificate in animal care from Sheridan and in wildlilfe rehab. Animals are my life and you can be assured that with me your pet will be in good hands. The most important thing to me is keeping your pet safe and happy while also giving your pet the mental and physical stimulation they need in the form of walks and runs. I also do parrot, dog, cat and small animal nail trims, beak trims and wing trims if ever needed. Don’t delay call me to walk your dog today. I work from home as a dog groomer so I am always home and can easily schedule dogs for sudden getaways, my hours are flexible Offering hiking, dog walking, play with other dogs, mental and physical stimulation if the form of obedience training, play and walks, and diets based around your dogs needs.

About: I offer the services of dog-walking, in-house visits, and in-house pet-sitting. I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was in high school (I graduated high school in 2013). I have done pet-sitting that required me to stay in the dog's and/or cat's (as well as other animals') home. I have also done pet-sitting that did not require me to stay in the home, but to visit the home several times each day for feedings, watering, as well as walks, exercise, play, affection, and brushing. I grew up with a 90-pound golden retriever. I have cared for/watched dogs as small as chihuahuas to dogs as large as great danes. I would love to board dogs in my own home, or offer doggy-daycare services, but my husband and I are currently renting, and dogs are not permitted in our home. We do own two cats, though, and are working towards buying our first house. Doggy-daycare and/or boarding may be offered in the future, once we get settled into a house.

“Shawna was so wonderful, she took my fairly last-minute booking and had two great hangouts with Spot. He was well cared for, looked very happy in the pictures, and I’d book her again for sure. Thanks Shawna!”

About: I have cared for a range of different animals from reptiles - dogs/cats, some of which were my personal/family pets and for families as well. I absolutely love all animals. I’d love to show some extra love to your pets, get some exercise myself while walking them and have fun playing with them. I’m not sure who would be having more fun haha. I have pet sit for families before which includes all those activities, even following their diets, some of which included a raw food diet. I deal with cleanup effectively, never leaving it behind and cleaning up any “accidents” that may happen indoors to its entirety. I have my own pup, Darth, who is my entire life lol! We have a family dog back home. In all seriousness, I want to love and hangout with your pets!! I currently work from home full time 9-5 but can make visits before and after work and even throughout the day just depending on location from me! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who loves to play with fur-ends! I can keep your dog crated if preferred, or can keep my dog separate from yours if preferred!

About: I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs ever since my foster fur baby. I have adapted quickly to professionally taking care of many breeds. Quick to learn and become your dogs best friend! Took a couple years off but looking forward to getting back into it! I currently own my own photography business, so my free days are open to love on some doggos! I love to get outside and spend time with animals. I’m happy to sit within a clients home anytime, and love to build a connection with your dog(s) so they have the stability and love they need.

About: I am a trustworthy and dependable animal sitter located in Port Colborne, and most importantly, a big animal lover! I live in the country on a farm, and have a large backyard to accommodate off-leash play time and provide ample exercise for dogs, while ensuring their safety and security. I have years of experience with both cats and dogs, and have one cat of my own. While I currently do not have a dog, I have raised Shetland Sheepdogs, Golden Retrievers, Rough Collies, Poodles, and several mixed breeds as well. I also offer dog boarding services for longer stays. Pick-up and drop-off services are available upon request. Dog boarding requirements: All dogs are required to have all their boosters up to date, including DHPP and Rabies. They also need be up to date on their flea and tick medication (this is important for the country). Please let me know if the dog is not spayed/neutered if over 8 months. I have a very flexible schedule working from home for my own small business, so I have lots of time for the furry friends and lots of wiggle room to accommodate! The house is large but I can easily crate your dog if needed. The farm sits on 63 acres so there is plenty of room to enjoy a good walk. I would like to know if the dog has any special needs or quirks. Also handy to know are common commands the dog has been trained with and how they interact with other dogs/humans etc., as well as anything else you think is important for me to know. I look forward to spending time with your pet!
