Pet Sitting Port Hope

About: With 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behaviour, comfort, and routine, whether that means keeping high‑energy pups engaged or helping senior dogs feel safe and supported. I’m experienced in administering insulin to diabetic dogs, as well as giving oral medications and eye drops with calm, confident handling. I know how important it is for pets with medical needs to have someone who is both gentle and precise, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach to care is rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. From daily walks and structured playtime to maintaining feeding schedules and monitoring overall well‑being, I make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and cared for like family. I’m currently retired and looking to fill my time caring for your pups and kitties I’m available most days in the week and a quite flexible with my schedule. I have a clean, smoke-free home. My yard is not fenced but will be walking your pups on leash. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

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.

“It was great to have Alyssa cat sit for us. She was thorough, conscientious about all details, and took time to get to know our pets and included play time in the visits. She sent us pictures and videos and kept in touch. She responded quickly to all messages and made everything easy for us. She built trust from the start. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to booking with her again soon.”

About: I had this app for a few years but never had the time where I use to live. Now I have the time and I’m soo excited to finally be able to dog sit for you all:). I graduated from college with an Animal Care certificate. I have experience as an Animal Care Attendant at Bow Valley SPCA and a vet clinic. I would love the chance to pet sit and dog walk your dogs and see where it takes me! I am currently free and I am looking for all the pet sitting I can get. I would love the chance to take care of your dogs and cats. I will gladly send you pictures and videos of your pets when you are away to keep you updated! I will always play with your dogs/cats and cuddle with them as well:)

About: I’ve trained and taken full care of my puppy Ollie… as well as just taken care of both of my dogs all my life… I enjoy spending much of my time with animals and always make sure they’re well taken care of. I am currently on a gap year so I am home all the time… I walk and feed my dogs everyday and spend almost all my time with them. I have an open backyard that is about 3 acres as well as a fenced in section. I am very flexible and able to do what ever you need me to do!

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: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

“Vanessa, was truly amazing! She was extremely diligent in responding and helping me out in a last minute booking, was very impressed with her constant updates and photos. Was a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!!! Thank you again Vanessa for all your help!!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have my own dog, whom I’ve trained and care for every day, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient and responsible, and I'll treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in Teachers College, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love staying active and working out, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise with your pet while also giving them lots of attention and care. Some things to note about my schedule: As mentioned, I am currently in teachers college. I’m in a placement from September 21–October 26, Monday–Friday from 9:00–3:30, but I do have an hour lunch break each day, so I may be able to work something out depending on what time you’re looking for. I’ll also be away for school November 14–December 18 to which I won’t be available. Then I’ll have another placement January–February. Outside of those times, I have more flexibility. I’ll provide care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep up with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, while giving them lots of attention and making sure their home is kept clean and secure.
