Doggy Day Care Port Hope

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets, and spending time with them is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s slow morning walks, playtime, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.

“I would like to thank Mohina for taking good care of Luna. I felt very confident leaving Luna with Mohina and her family. Luna got to have fun with their two dogs. I definitely would leave Luna in her care again.”

“Gretel was amazing from the moment we connected. Luna had a great day at her house, playing with other pups. She slept from the time we got home until noon the next day! She can’t wait to go back for more fun soon. Thanks Gretel!”

About: My entire life has been richly blessed by the presence of dogs. For over 17 years, I have had the joy and responsibility of being a dedicated dog owner, and my experience is rooted in a home filled with a vibrant pack of nine dogs, each of a different breed and size, who taught me the beautiful diversity of the canine world. While my family back home cares for them, I currently have my own faithful companion by my side—a constant reminder of the profound bond between a person and their pet. This lifelong immersion has given me a deep-seated passion for canine care that extends beyond my own animals. I have frequently provided care for the pets of friends and family, treating each one with the same love and attention I would my own. What I cherish most is getting to know each dog as the unique individual they are. I understand that every "fur baby" has their own distinct personality, preferences, and quirks, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to their care. I would be absolutely delighted to learn everything you are willing to share about your beloved companion—their favorite games, their daily routines, their little quirks, and any specific instructions you have. Please know that you can always feel comfortable letting me know precisely what to do and what to avoid; your guidance is my most valuable tool. It would be my genuine privilege and pleasure to provide your dog with a fun, safe, and nurturing experience, filled with engaging play and heartfelt companionship. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your wonderful dog. 🐾 My daily schedule is built around the needs of the pets in my care. I treat their routine with the same importance as any other essential daily commitment. The hands-on duties of pet care, like bathing, feeding, and play, are tasks I've always genuinely loved doing for my own dogs and my relatives' pets. I am truly excited to provide that same level of dedicated, hands-on love and attention to your furry baby! please do let me know of how you take care of your pet and I will maintain that for me and your dogs relationship on going.

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.

“My dog was very comfortable and happy right away on meeting Lisa at her house. Great backyard and lots of space to explore and play inside as well. Friendly and asked all the right questions, would recommend.”

“We were so nervous to leave our puppy while we had to go away.Brian was fantastic and sent us pics and videos throughout the day. Ghost had so much fun visiting and we will definitely be brining him back again! Thank you Bryan for making us feel assured while we were away and for letting Ghost play! Also, when we picked up our Golden Sammy he was all clean and fresh!”

I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels.

I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction.

Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Joan was wonderful, our puppy felt comfortable right away. He had a great time and was very happy when we picked him up. She seems to love what she does and cares. Joan was very accommodating and very quick to respond. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you Joan.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid. Recently I had 2-3 cats and I have been taking care of them for my friends for the last 3 years. All my friends rely on me for cat sitting whenever they are heading out. I am currently working full time work from home so I will be able to take care of your fur babies at any and every time for you while you away. Me and my brother both of us love cats and what do our best to give them 24/7 entertainment, play with them and cuddle with them.

About: I have grown up with pets and have been an animal lover my whole life. I currently have two of my own furbabies, my cuddly, intelligent 9 year old cat and my 65 pound energetic and sweet husky. Because of this, I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs (even energetic and reactive dogs). I work from home, so I have flexible availability. My fiancé also often helps me with pet care. In the summer, he tends to have have more availability than me. I offer dog walking services and pet-sitting. I will also make sure to send you many photos of and updates about your pet(s). If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me! As mentioned earlier, my schedule is currently quite flexible. My fiancé also helps with pet care. Please confirm with me the specific dates/times since my schedule varies slightly. I offer dog walking (30 mins and 60 mins) and pet-sitting. I have lots of experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I live in a home with two friendly pets who can keep your pet company if yours is good with other animals. I’m also comfortable feeding, filling water, and administering medication to animals when needed. Please let me know if your pet has any allergies/dietary restrictions. Please note that for boarding stays that are over 3 nights, a one night trial run is required beforehand just to make sure that it’s a good fit for both of us. This would be at a discounted rate of $30 for the one night. Thank you!

“Loghan is awesome, great communication and easy to reach. He sends pictures during Leo's stay which I really appreciate. Leo loves going over to Loghans for a stay! Thank you so much.”

About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!

“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, it was clear that you genuinely love and understand dogs. You took the time to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and messages. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for while I was away. You were attentive to every detail, from feeding and walks to making sure my dog got plenty of attention and affection. When I picked my dog up, he/she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pet, but you exceeded all my expectations. Thank you for treating my dog like part of your family. I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Marta was amazing with both dog and cat. I have a senior dog and Marta was able to handle him perfectly. We couldn’t find a sitter for our cat and because my cat has not had a good time with a sitter before, he is very skittish and has some separation anxiety. We asked Marta if she would be able to accommodate the cat too and she was very understanding. Amazing part is when we took my cat to meet them, the cat just loved her daughter, I have never seen that cat like someone so fast (not even my husband). I was very comfortable leaving both my babies with Marta, I got pictures all day. We would definitely be looking to book again with Marta. ❤️”
