Dog Sitting Puslinch

About: I have always grown up with dogs of my own. For the past seven years I have been working in the specialty veterinary field assisting all sorts of dogs from puppies, seniors, and any sort of illness. Currently in my third year of veterinary school. I am a student at Ontario Veterinary College, other than that I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups, take them on walks, and give them love and attention. I will treat the animals with my utmost care and give them all the love they need. Houses will be treated as the owner would treat it themselves.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.

About: I have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals and have pet care experience through helping friends and family. I find genuine excitement in meeting new pets and being able to help others. Although I do not have a dog of my own, I do have a bunny that I have taken care of for the past 9 years and he means the world to me, so I have a great understanding of how these fur babies are much more than just pets. I am currently working part-time and do school online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I thrive in settings that may require adapting, and I am the kind of person to focus on my task at hand. I have relatively free mornings, where I enjoy being the most productive, but most importantly I am always willing to accommodate other people’s schedule when possible! When I care for pets, the most important factors to me are the pet’s safety and the owner’s boundaries. I find it very important that the pet is visibly content and safe, and if any issues were to occur, I understand the boundaries as a sitter. I care for and respect all pets the way I would hope a sitter would treat and respect my pet and routines.

“Holly is friendly and engaging, and it was clear she genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend her and have already booked again for walks and home sitting.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting throughout high school and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. As I head into my third year of university, I’m looking to earn some extra savings for school while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether that’s walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or plenty of affection, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m currently off school until September and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I work casual shifts at a hospital, so my availability varies, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling. As a pet owner myself with a pug at home, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. In your home, I will treat both your pet and your space with respect, keeping things clean and secure while providing regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: For 15 years, I have worked as a trusted elementary school teacher who cares deeply for my young students. I have also been relied upon for pet-sitting and dog-walking for a number of families for many years. Feeding, playing, exercising, cleaning, caring for all pets' needs. I am returning to my full time teaching job in September, which fills my days from 8 to 4, but I am fully available for overnight pet and house-sitting, as well as fully available on weekends! I ensure my own pets are comfortable and well cared for. When I stay in others' homes, I follow pets' routines and meet their needs.

“Ciara went above and beyond with our elderly cats. Between the many prescribed diets + medications I was very choosy about who could look after them. We came back to haooy, healthy cats, she even took the time to wash used food dishes + clean litter boxes. The daily photo updates and info on days the eldest did or did not have meds was helpful to have as well.”

About: I've been taking care of my pets, as well as my neighbors, since I was around 8. My sister and I used to cat sit for our neighbors twice a year and I sometimes dog sit for my friends. I grew up living with two golden doodles and now my family has a sheepdog and a golden retriever/bernedoodle mix I'm currently free until the beginning of September. I'm starting a bachelor's program in the fall, so my availability will change, I'm totally down to discuss it individually then! My home has a fenced backyard and my dogs aren't crate trained so they sleep with us in our rooms. I'm available to discuss specific routines for each of my clients!

“Jessylin is very flexible and reliable”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if that’s what you want for your loved one .

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and currently work in the animal care industry. I have experience with all different types of dogs, including puppies, seniors, and nervous or reactive dogs with different personalities and needs. I also have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a bunny, and 2 horses of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m patient and comfortable working with dogs who may need extra time, space, or a slower approach to feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to learn their routine and individual needs. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while treating every animal as if they were my own and giving pet parents peace of mind. I work Monday to Friday until 2:30 p.m., but I’m also available for early-morning potty breaks and let-outs before work. I’m open and flexible on weekends as well. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life as I have pets of my own, and I currently work in the animal care industry. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable working with all kinds of pets and different routines. I’m happy to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention, while following your pet’s specific routine and needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I like to keep their normal routine as much as possible. I follow their usual feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime schedules and make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and love. I have 3 dogs of my own who love to play and are used to being around other animals. However, I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable around other dogs, so I’m happy to keep them separate and give them their own space if that’s what makes them feel most comfortable. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual personality. I’m comfortable with nervous, reactive, senior, and high-energy dogs and understand that some pets need extra patience, space, or a slower introduction. With over 10 years of experience in animal care, I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and always treat every pet like they’re part of my family.

Paramedic and nurse part-time, dog whisperer full-time. Warning: dog may become accustomed to my baby talk and constant scratches and kissies! I treat all dogs like my own precious baby and love walks as well! Human AND dog CPR trained ! :D I'm currently working part-time/casually as a paramedic and as a nurse!

When all safety and needs are taken care of, dogs can expect lots of cuddles, love, and "good boy"/"good girl" affirmations! I understand different dogs like differing amounts of affection and touch and I adjust based on their comfortability! I provide a patient, loving, and calm environment for all doggies!

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.

“Pruthu was very easy to work with and really understood our situation and what we needed when caring for our dog. Coco can be quite difficult to handle for strangers, but Pruthu put in a lot of effort from the very first session to bond with him and made him comfortable. That gave us a lot of peace of mind and I was able to be worry free for the four days we were away. Really appreciate the care and effort he put in with Coco. Highly recommend!”

About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

“Amyaz and Shareefa were awesome with Fig. They checked in on her over the weekend while I was away. They made sure Fig was fed and had enough water, and they took some time to play fetch with her, which she loves. They sent many photos and videos to help give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
