About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with two daughters (19 and 16 ) and we are a loving, responsible family who truly enjoys caring for dogs. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home where your dog will be treated like part of our family. Since we don’t currently have a dog of our own, your furry friend will receive our full attention, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one care. We only accept one dog at a time, so we can focus completely on your pet’s needs and routine. We care for small and medium-sized dogs only, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for them. 🐾 What we offer: • A clean, safe, and loving home • A front fenced yard for safe outdoor time • Daily walks and playtime • Flexible schedule (home most of the day) • Lots of attention, cuddles, and supervision • Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Whether your dog loves to play or prefers to relax, we will match their routine and make them feel right at home. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own ❤️ Our schedule is very flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom. Your dog will receive regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and constant supervision throughout the day. Because we only care for one dog at a time, your pet will always be our top priority. I provide care in a safe, clean, and loving home environment. Since I only accept one dog (or one family) at a time, I’m able to closely follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedule, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods and are treated like part of our family. They have access to a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of indoor companionship, play, and rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort in their familiar environment.

About: I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention. We only board small to medium size dogs. I offer extended stays as well. We can take care of your pet according to your requirements. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (At other times, you can contact us via text message in advance.) I have one mini size Maltese so we only board small to medium size dogs. We have a large fenced yard and fenced brick forecourt that they can play. We can take care of your pet according to your requirements.

“We are very happy to have had Trudy take care of our cat. We were away for almost a month and Trudy made sure to visit every day to look after him ensuring he was fed, his litter was clean and he got attention through play. Even though our cat is quite shy and takes time to get comfortable, Trudy’s skills and calm, caring approach helped him feel at ease. Receiving daily updates with pictures and videos gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful cat sitter.”

“Verna (I Hsin) was a fantastic caretaker for my cat Hazel during the nearly one-month period I was away. She was reliable, demonstrated a genuine concern for my pet, and provided comprehensive updates after each visit. Hazel was well adjusted and well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend Verna.”

About: I have experience caring for multiple large breeds as both a dog walker and sitter. Raising my own stubborn Chow Chow taught me patience and confidence with strong-willed dogs. I also cared for her through blindness and the removal of one eye, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, gentle care, and close monitoring. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows for plenty of supervision, walks, and companionship. I’m in the office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it’s dog-friendly, so dog sitting can still be an option if needed. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and safe environment with lots of supervision, affection, and regular walks or potty breaks. I always follow their usual routine for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. Safety, patience, and making every pet feel at home are my top priorities.

About: I've always had dogs around me since I was a baby. My mom taught me to love animals. I think all creature need to be loved and I'm good at taking care and loving them. I have a beautiful and happy pooch who enjoys to have company. I've taken care of my friend's dog and neighbors's. We will watch over your 🐶 with love, plays, walks, cuddling and food. Your dog will follow our routine with 3 to 4 walks a day. I usually work 4 days a week during 7 hours but I'll have some flexibility when having your dog over. I have a fenced and small patio in our ground floor unit. In addition, we get to enjoy a beautiful court yard in my building. Your fur pup is allowed to go on the furniture and bed.

“Daphne looked after our 2 cats for a week through daily drop-ins (morning and evening). She was punctual and updated me on how the cats were getting on (loved getting the photos and videos). This was my first time using Rover so I had been worried about leaving the cats but after literally one day I felt super calm since I knew the cats were getting the love & care they needed. I was especially worried about one of the cats since he gets scared when new people come over but both of them clearly loved Daphne right away! Would 100% book again :) Thank you Daphne! :)”

About: For about 8 years now I’ve been a loyal dog/cat sitter for my friends, teammates and clients. I have a special place in my heart for animals and am happy to care for them! Whether they love belly rubs, long walks or cuddles, you can count on me to provide top notch care for your animals. I’ve had multiple cats all throughout my life as well and love caring for them so much! I’ve volunteered at multiple cat sanctuaries so I have a strong understanding of them & their needs. I currently am available for walks, check ins and house sittings! Whether it’s during the week or on the weekend, I will have plenty of time to spend with your animals and give them lots of attention! I love going for long walks with pups and playing for as long as they need! My care will typically look like regular walks/trips outside, playing with the animals, giving them lots of time to sleep, regular feeding & treats when necessary and overall just doing what I can to make the pets time away from home/ their owners as enjoyable as possible! I have a safe and clean environment for your pets and I will ensure that there are no safety hazards within my house!

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're my own. I've cared for dogs with different personalities, ages, and needs, and I'm comfortable looking after those playful and those who need a little extra patience and support. I'm reliable, attentive, and always make sure owners feel at ease with updates so they know their pet is happy, safe, and well looked after. Having had a dog myself since I was 8, I am confident with the work involved and I love walking myself so would welcome a tail-wagging friend to join me! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine, especially right now as I’ve recently moved from Australia and am taking time to settle in and look for full-time work. This gives me a flexible schedule, meaning I can easily fit in walks, check-ins, feeding, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so spending time with pets is something I prioritise and I look forward to the opportunity of having it be a part of my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions like medication. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and make sure doors, gates, and anything else are secure before I leave. Most importantly, I spend quality time with the pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals. My home is shared with Dexter, a 18 year old Shih tzu poodle cross and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet's care. Your dog will be treated as part of my family, with plenty of cuddles, playtime and attention. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I prioritize walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that your dog receives the attention and exercise they need. I'm enthusiastic about creating a routine that suits both me and your pet, fostering a happy and healthy environment. I live in a condo with my own fenced yard with plenty of green space and parks near me. My home is also very pet friendly.

About: I was a dog owner since i was 10, it didn't mean i only played with but really took care of them. I had 5 dogs over the years. Also have experience taking care of other people's dogs after my dogs passed away. My whole family loves dogs. If dogs can talk, I think they will say they're happy to be at my place. Understand how pet parents missed them while they are away, photos won't be missed Im currently retired, I speak both English and Cantonese if your fury baby prefer language other than English:), most of the time I'll be home unless I'm going for trip. Love to take care of your fur babies if I could help! I have a fenced backyard and kids are all grown up. In order to pay full attention I will only take care of one dog from the same family during their stay

“Tiana recently took care of my dog for me when I went out of town for a few days. She was punctual, friendly and very reliable! My dog was thrilled to have her over come over and keep him company while I was away. I will absolutely be contacting Tiana again in the future!”

About: I can walk dogs big and small, always with your dog’s safety and well-being in mind when we’re outside. I can run with your dog to shake off that extra energy (theirs and mine 😆) Great at meal preps and saying “Good boy / girl!” I’m available during weekdays 9am-5pm for dog walking, and meal prep. I can’t do dog boarding right now coz the condo I’m currently living in doesn’t allow keeping dogs. Your dog will always be on leash outside to keep them safe. I’ll make sure your dog is hydrated, all settled down (and well-fed, if meal prep is needed) when back at home before I leave.

I can help feeding cats and take dogs go for a walk.

About: Dogs and cats are my life。I have grown up around aninals。They are dogs、cats、mini chickens、fish、rabbits…My family and I moved from China to Canada 1years ago and greatly miss having pet。 I come from a pet-loving family and have experience caring for many types of animals. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and building trust with them over time. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to commit to regular and long-term dog walking. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m home most of the day and can reliably provide walks and check-ins at consistent times. I enjoy being outdoors, and daily walks are already part of my lifestyle. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to start with short walks or trial bookings to build a long-term relationship with both pets and their owners. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on safety, calm care, and consistency. I make sure doors and gates are secure, use the owner’s preferred leash or harness, and adjust walks based on the pet’s age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, basic cleaning of pet bowls, supplies, and crates, along with bathroom breaks, exercise, and companionship. I also share updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed.

About: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you.
