Pet Sitting Puslinch

“I simply could not have asked for a better more caring gal to look after my cat Rusty. He had never had a "sitter" before. Christina certainly loves animals and has a wonderful way with them. Rusty loved her patting him and all the food she gave him was always gone, telling me he was not stressed out by this change in his routine. Rusty and I welcome Christina to come back the next time I am away and both of us send our thanks and hugs.”

“Very happy! Elizabeth came to meet Jack a week prior. Used for the first time this past weekend and great! Day 2 Elizabeth (who asked first) brought her dog since we have a big yard so the dogs could have a good play. Jack tired out and can’t wait to see Tina and Elizabeth again!”

About: Hi, my name is Pei! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dedicated rescuer with extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with everything from rabbits and rodents to cats and large dogs. My journey started with a German Shepherd, and I also cared for two beloved rabbits for eight wonderful years. Our day starts early with a peaceful routine. After I’ve tended to my cats and the chicken coop, the dogs head out into our two-acre yard. For guest dogs, outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash (or a long-line) to ensure they stay safe near our forest boundary. Adventure & Exercise: We are an active household! I love exploring trails like Crane or Hanlon. While my Bernese Mountain Dog enjoys off-leash time, I only take guest dogs to off-leash parks or on hikes if I have the owner's explicit permission and I am confident in the dog's recall. Otherwise, we enjoy wonderful, long 'sniffaris' on-leash through the forest trails right behind my house. Daily Routine: In the summer, we live outdoors! We spend hours in the backyard playing fetch and catch. We typically do at least one 4–5 km hike per day. When we aren't hiking, your pup will be relaxing in our home, treated like a member of the family. We are looking for new pack members to join our daily adventures and enjoy the Puslinch country life with us! Safety is my absolute priority. We are lucky to have a beautiful two-acre property, but because our yard borders the forest and is unfenced, I never allow guest dogs off-leash outdoors. Safety Measures: Supervised Yard Time: All guest dogs are supervised 100% of the time they are outside, using either a standard leash or a 30ft long-line for extra 'sniffing' freedom. Indoor Comfort: After our adventures, dogs relax with us in our family living room. I have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed (especially during meal times). Chicken Safety: We do have a chicken coop on the property. Guest dogs are kept at a safe distance from the coop unless I am 100% confident in their behavior around poultry. Pick-Up & Drop-Off: I offer a convenient pick-up and drop-off service for your pets! Whether you need a hand with transport for boarding or a ride to their walk, I’m happy to accommodate. (Please note: Pick-up/drop-off is subject to a small additional fee based on distance—just ask!)

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.

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

About: I am currently an MSc student in Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph, with hands on experience caring for cats through research and daily feeding routines. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, monitoring behaviour, cleaning, and providing patient care for both shy and active pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of keeping owners updated and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Guelph with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits, cat sitting, and dog walking during weekdays and weekends. I am responsible, responsive, and happy to work with different feeding or care routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual environment. I have hands on experience caring for cats through university animal care work, including feeding routines and monitoring behaviour. I will carefully follow any instructions provided and keep owners updated with messages and photos.

“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.”

“Emy was wonderful. Very professional. Treated my cat as her own. She truly is an animal lover. I would not hesitate in using Emy again should I require services. If you are looking for someone special to look after your pets Emy definitely is that person”

About: Professional dog walker with 5+ years experience and daycare background, specializing in safe, fun structured walks, hikes, and drop-ins tailored to each furry friends needs As I have moved on to start my own business, my hours are very flexible. I miss working with dogs of all breeds/sizes and ages, It brings me a lot joy to meet all of their personalities. So much that I am dedicated most of my week to rover :)! I have lots experience in caring for all different types of dogs with different needs. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I am fully aware that the safety and environment of our animals is most important.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young, and friends, family, and clients have trusted me with their pets for years. I’m calm, observant, and patient, which helps animals feel safe quickly. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and special needs, including anxious or reactive dogs, senior pets, medication schedules, and maintaining structure. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine care I have a very flexible schedule and can make sure to be able to give every pet the time and attention they need. I can check in on break or for scheduled breaks etc. I have a fenced yard and occasionally have my boy Duke with me he is a very kind dog. I go on lots of walks and hikes and will follow any schedule your dog may need. I am familiar with medication schedules and dietary restrictions as well

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities through rescue. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those needing extra patience or medical attention. I also trained puppies for Autism Dog Services, helping build strong foundations in obedience and confidence, and worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, giving me valuable knowledge of animal health, behavior, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home, so your animals needs will be met all day. I have a flexible schedule so even if you are crate training or socializing, I’m able to come and go as I please. My home is thoughtfully set up to meet the needs of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As an active foster, I have a variety of tools and equipment to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable, including a fenced yard, crates (when appropriate), x-pens, and separate areas throughout the home. If I have a foster dog during your pet’s stay, I can easily provide each dog with their own dedicated space to ensure an stress-free environment. I prioritize one-on-one attention, individualized care, positive reinforcement training, and safe socialization based on each dog’s comfort level and needs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, and being around animals has always felt natural to me. While I’ve had experience with many different pets, dogs and cats truly have my heart. I’ve had dogs in the past and absolutely loved the companionship, routine, and joy they bring. Right now, I don’t have a dog because I have a cat at home, which makes me even more excited to care for other people’s dogs and give them the love, attention, and time they deserve. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so taking care of someone else’s feels like such a joy rather than a task. As a current cat parent, I deeply understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and move at a pet’s pace. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs playtime and walks or a calm cat who just wants quiet company, I adjust my care to each animal’s personality. What sets me apart from other sitters is how personally I take my role. I don’t see pet sitting as just feeding and walking. I see it as building trust and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and very observant, especially with shy pets, senior pets, or animals who need extra reassurance. I may not be a professional trainer, but I’m very patient and consistent, which helps with puppies learning routines and senior pets who need calm, gentle care. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, and I care just as much about their emotional comfort as their physical needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me, and I would be honored to be someone you trust with a member of your family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my days around caring for my own cat, so feeding times, playtime, cleaning, and check-ins are things I’m used to and consistent with. Adding pet sitting into my routine feels easy and intentional rather than rushed. I’m someone who plans ahead and values routine, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are done on time, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s specific needs and energy levels. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. Because I genuinely enjoy being around pets, I’m happy to build my schedule around them and give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure pets stay in their usual environment whenever possible. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure food and water areas are clean, and make sure pets are always supervised appropriately. I pay close attention to behavior changes and will always communicate updates or concerns right away. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe space. I make sure the environment is pet friendly, free of hazards, and suited to their comfort level. Because I have a cat, I am very mindful of slow introductions and only accept pets that are a good fit to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. I believe trust is built through consistency, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“Michelle was great with Pumpkin. She kept me informed daily about his well being, sent pictures. I was concerned about leaving him because he recently was diagnosed with diabetes. Michelle was great with his feeding and giving him his insulin. I will be using her services again.”

About: I have three years of experience with taking care of and training a large breed reactive dog. I am comfortable dealing with nervous and reactive dogs. I also have 10 years of experience with my small breed family dog as well. I am writer and grad student. I'm currently not working between semesters of school during the summer to focus on my writing, so am really flexible for walking and sitting. I am willing to care for your dog in their home in the way you think is best and based on their normal routine and will always respect your directions.

About: Hi! I've taken care of multiple dogs of all ages as well as my family dog for 11 years! I am dog obsessed and need to love on any dog who comes into my line of sight. 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! I have differing availability throughout the week and am able to create a flexible schedule! I also try to incorporate a 30min-1 hour walk everyday and would love to add a doggy friend to that walk! I like to ensure long walks depending on the service/day and always make sure each dog is fed, full, and happy! Depending on the dog, I make sure to let them have multiple opportunities for a potty break to ensure they're the most comfortable they can be! 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 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.
