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.

“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.”

“It's always difficult for me to leave my babies behind during holidays, but I left knowing that they were in excellent hands while I was gone. I received daily messages regarding how they were doing and multiple pictures/videos daily. Highly recommended!!!”

“Fantastic, went above and beyond and made my cats time as comfortable as could be while we were away. I would definitely recommend Emily and use her services again!”

About: I grew up with German Shepherds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. From an early age, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and enjoy giving pets the attention, care, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. More recently, I’ve been on my own puppy journey with the newest addition to my household, who is now 2 years old. Through that experience, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppies, including routines, training reinforcement, exercise, and the patience and attention young dogs need as they grow. I have a flexible schedule and am currently offering pet care part-time during evenings and weekends. Whether you’re heading out of town overnight, working late, or simply need some extra time for yourself, I’m here to help provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I’ll be starting out by offering dog walking services only. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive walks and companionship for your pup while helping them stay active, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or a break during the day, I’m here to help.

“Roni is an attentive, reliable & affectionate cat-minder. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in charge of our two cats, Levi & Edgar. It was an assured pleasure having her assistance”

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.

“Sylvee did a phenomenal job of looking after Ernie! She has a wonderful personality and is obviously a dog lover! Would have no hesitation in using her services again!”

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.

“Jessica was able to do a last minute drop-in for my and my three cats. She went above and beyond in her service. She was quick to reply to my messages and sent me a detailed update on how the visit went. I look forward to booking with her again.”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. 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 have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. 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. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. 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.

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: 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: 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.

“Maya was wonderful. I usually don’t need someone to care for my big baby of a lab because my neighbour takes care of her when we are away but I was in a pinch and I am so grateful I found Maya. She was punctual, took the cutest pictured of my dog, and relayed information I might need. My dog got into some of my kids candy while we were gone and Maya noticed and put it up so she couldn’t get it anymore.”

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need.

I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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.
