Dog Walking Port Hope

About: I’ve been a dog & cat owner since childhood, and I’ve looked after family & friends’ pets for almost as long! I am no stranger to pets young and old, energetic and slow, shy and outgoing, nor am I a stranger to caring for pets when they’re ill, or have a few special needs here and there. I am comfortable with keeping up with training and regular enrichment. Additionally, I drive and have a car and I am more than happy to do any picking up & dropping off, as well as trips to the park or the beach! I currently work in the restaurant industry as my main form of income, but in my down time I’d love to fill in the gaps in my schedule with your cats and pups! I currently work evenings Wednesday-Saturday, and then at varying times Sunday-Tuesday, so definitely message me so we can work out times that I can come and help ya out! I understand that every pet has its own set of needs, and one cannot paint with a wide brush when it comes to pet care! I am happy to follow whatever direction given, and exchange wisdom when appropriate!

About: As a devoted dog mom to a 5-year-old pug and former pet parent to a Cocker Spaniel, I bring a lifetime of love and hands on animal care experience to every visit. Whether it's keeping up with active dog walking routines, providing specialized care like administering medications, or keeping your pets fresh with bathing, you can count on me to treat your furry family members with the utmost patience, safety, and affection. As a full-time teacher, my schedule is wonderfully open during the summer months, allowing me to be home full-time to give your pets round-the-clock attention, companionship, and care. During the school year, my routine is structured around my teaching hours, but I am fully dedicated to maintaining consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules before and after school, ensuring your pets always feel secure and prioritized. In my quiet country setting close to Rice Lake, pets enjoy a relaxing getaway featuring scenic walks on nearby trails and plenty of companionship from my friendly 5 year old pug. Whether staying in my home where animals are treated like family and fully welcomed onto the furniture and our bed or receiving visits in yours, your pets will experience a loving, comfortable, and attentive environment tailored to their daily routines.

About: Dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes have been in my family since I can remember and I have been privileged to care for them on and off my whole life. I have years of experience caring for rottweilers, bullies, and orange cats, so your big dogs or crazy cats wont scare me! I am extremely attentive to instruction from pet owners and will absolutely accommodate any needs your babies have. I care for furry friends on a full-time basis, and am available for both short and long term commitments to your babies! I update my calendar frequently so you can book with me way ahead of time or last minute. I can accommodate visits between Port Hope & Cobourg and surrounding rural areas. I am keen to closely follow any directions provided by you on how to best care for your animals at your home or on a leash. We aren't set up for having any additional furry guests over at our house, but I am glad to be trusted with home visits. I am sure to facilitate communication about clear expectations (like various care needs, length of visit, keys, plant watering if need be, etc.) during meet-ups with pet parents and take my responsibilities extremely seriously.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

About: Dedicated pet enthusiast offering reliable and caring services as a carer for both dogs and other pets. With a genuine love for animals, I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment during your absence. Trust me to ensure your furry companions receive the attention and care they deserve, creating a stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to help you and your precious pets. If you will not be able to book time feel free to text me I will try to accommodate you ☺️ I will take care of your dogs and cats in your home because I believe that it will be stressful to take pets to my house

About: I expect the best care for my pets and that is what your fur baby will receive while in my care. Currently I have a dog by the name of Snow who is just over 8 years old. Snow is playful but also quickly picks up on other dogs' ques who may wish to have their space. Snow is friendly with cats and dogs. At this time I am providing one on one care so that I can provide my full attention to your pup and mine. Your pup will have a very big and clean yard with a shaded area if they like being outside. Further my home offers a fenced area to allow them to run and play as well. I offer a large crate if needed. Walks/excercise is provided as well as potty breaks depending on your dog but can be provided every 30 minutes if needed. Live in quiet neighbourhood. Able to administer oral medication if required. My house is simple and clustter free so you won't have to worry that your dog will eat anything. Photos are provided daily with updates of your four legged baby if you so wish. I will request a meet and greet prior to taking in your pup to ensure that my dog and yours get along before a long stay. If you need last minute care I will still need a meet and greet for the safety of both your pup and mine. I do have two small children one who is mostly not home during the week. He loves dogs and is gentle with our dog. My work schedule allows me to care for your pup without an issue. Your pup will not be left alone for long periods of time if need be and will receive plenty of love and care. I have a fenced area for your pup to be free in, a side road to walk your pup, or an unfenced area to allow your pup to run freely. Inside, your pup will have full range of my home as I have several dog beds through out the house as well as a crate which is always open but can be used.

“Steph was great with our dog Bruce, she handled him very well considering he's 175lbs, usually we are a little reluctant on letting others walk him (family or friends) but Steph assured us on the first visit which certainly made us feel extremely comfortable, especially with when she was asking questions about our Bruce's obedience, any commands we use etc, rather try and use her own like some may have possibly...and we definitely would use her services again...,best of all she was always time, very polite, and is an animal expert...”

“Sylvee was a pleasure and my dog Peanut loved her. She was here when she said she would be, always with a smile. Her energy makes you feel at ease be a human or canine. Thanks so much Sylvee!!”

About: I've loved dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was very little. I've personally owned and trained two puppies, assisted with my senior dog growing up, and have fostered dogs through my local humane society. I utilize positive reinforcement training and give every animal I know the most love I possibly can. I also have experience with cats and would be happy to help with your feline friends! I am currently available for drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week! I offer pet sitting on weekends when possible. Please reach out to me directly for full scheduling availability! I will always follow the guidelines and methods set out by the owners when doing drop in visits, walks or overnight stays. Your peace of mind is what matters most when entrusting your family members to me.

About: I've traveled around the world taking care of all kinds of pets and plants on farms and homes. Everyone deserves a good snuggle when their family is away. I work from home Monday to Friday 9:00 to 5 :00 so plenty of time available for walkies and snuggies. I also look after house plants and light moderate pet cleaning duties Stick to the family schedule as best I can. Lots of enriching activities as well as light cleaning and maintenance. ie.litter box, poop scoop, brushing, vacuum etc.

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve spent time working with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra patience, and closer attention to their comfort and health. I’m confident managing different personalities and needs — from energetic young dogs who benefit from consistency and structure, to older pets who may require medication, gentle handling, or extra monitoring. I also pay close attention to behaviour, eating habits, and overall wellbeing so small changes don’t go unnoticed. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease through clear communication and regular updates. As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy fitting into my routine. During the week, I’m available in the evenings for visits, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets after work. Weekends offer even more flexibility, allowing me to spend extra time making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. At home, I care for my own pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, exercise, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and know what to expect in their daily routine. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I prioritize maintaining the routines they’re used to so they feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep litter boxes or living areas clean, and make sure each pet gets the attention they need based on their personality. I also treat every home with respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.
