“Iris is amazing. Knows very well how to handle my dog on his walks, worked on walking well with her and most importantly he looked forward to his walks with her. She took him everyday while we were away and she would send daily updates and photos. Peace of mind that my Milo was cared about and cared for while we weren’t with him. You can tell she has a love for animals and a natural with them.”


“Great help!! Very good ommunication at all times. Reliable, it was a last minute call for work emergency and he was very responsive whenever I needed him. Thabknyou Qian!!!”


About: The genuine care and attention I give to each dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistent routines and patience, to senior dogs who require gentler walks, extra care, and a slower pace. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and committed to providing safe, enjoyable walks and play dates tailored to your dog’s individual needs. I also focus on building trust with both pets and their owners so everyone feels at ease. I’m currently working evenings from home as an administrative assistant for a media company but am available anytime of day Monday - Friday. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or weekend playtime, I’m consistent and flexible, ensuring your pet’s routine stays on track. In my home, pets have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also have a spacious basement apartment with lots of open areas for relaxing, playing, or just lounging comfortably, perfect for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine closely, from feeding and walking schedules to any special instructions. Whether in my space or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels at home.

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" - Anatole France. I have been a pet owner for more than 20 years. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I’m looking for pets that can use all the love I have built up for them. I have previous experience taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have worked at pet stores, pet groomings and vet rooms which has allowed me to develop the skills necessary to interact with pets and read their body language. I’m also an avid advocate of volunteering and supporting foster homes to help animals looking for a FUR-ever home. But most importantly, I've been a passionate pet lover my entire life and can provide tons of fun and care to any pets willing to take it. I run my own businesses from home and I only take care of one pet at a time. I can provide regular walks and exercise. My home is a safe environment as your pet will be the only pet there (unless an owner has multiple pets). Before the stay, I will propose a Meet & Greet to ensure my home is a great fit for your pet.

About: I provide loving, attentive care in a calm home with a fenced yard—perfect for small dogs. I'm home most of the day, so your pet will get lots of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every dog like family, and I’m happy to follow any routines, give meds, or offer extra care for seniors or puppies. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first! I have a sweet 7-year-old Pomeranian at home who is calm and friendly with other dogs. She’s used to having doggy guests around and loves the company! I'm currently working from home ,so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding/day care on weekends, and weekdays I have a fenced yard and one sweet 7-year-old Pomeranian who loves other dogs. She’ll keep your fur baby company in a calm, friendly environment. I can also crate your dog if needed, based on your preferences

“Absolutely thrilled with the dog walking service provided by David! Our family hired him for two weeks while we were on vacation, and he has been exceptional. He’s incredibly responsible, always punctual, and, most importantly, our beloved dog Nico adores him. It’s heartwarming to see Nico so excited to spend time with him every day. David has gone above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with his service. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog walker!”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals since age 9. From small ones such as birds and fish to cats and dogs. I currently own a Bengal cat, but have previously owned a cocker spaniel, Doberman, and pitbull. I have also dealt with animals that have separation anxiety. I currently work for myself so I am able to create my own schedule. I currently have a lot of free time during weekdays and some evenings. I don’t offer pet stays at my place. However, if I am in your home, just let me know the house rules and we’re good to go! :)

“I had Michael walk my rescue dog. He was the first stranger to walk my dog since I adopted him at 9.5 years. Michael came to meet him a couple of days before so that I could introduce Kasey to him. Michael showed up on time and took Kasey out in the neighbourhood for the full length of time. I like that Michael left his car at my place and went for the walk so that Kasey was used to the neighbourhood she was being walked, that made me feel comforted. Overall great job, would definitely use again.”


“Peter is just WONDERFUL! Friendly, outgoing, considerate & the perfect companion to our golden retriever. We reached out to Peter to walk Moose every day we were on vacation, met him ahead of time (passed the Moose that with flying colours) & trusted him immediately. Moose's morning schedule meshed with Peter's; we received daily updates with the cutest pictures. Peter is open & kind, his live of dogs is obvious. We will definitely be working with Peter again & recommend him highly!”


About: Almost all of my relatives owned dogs and I really enjoyed being around pets. I started pet sitting for my friends since uni and from that, I gained experience with different breeds of dogs/cats. I finally got my own fur baby after I graduated. I would love to meet furry friends! I work full time and I work from home. I am mostly available during weekends. For weekdays, depending on proximity, I could be available around noon and after work. For walks, I can def follow the instructions of the owner on what they usually do. If no preference, I will let him/her have the freedom to sniff and explore but will closely monitor them so they don’t ingest anything. For drop in visits, it really depends on what interests each dog, I will play their fav games or just pet them and keep them accompanied.

About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years—starting when I was just 6 years old and continuing throughout my senior year of high school. Currently, I own an Akita-Husky mix dog, whom I’ve cared for since he was 8 weeks old, thus giving me hands-on experience with puppies and house-training. Recently, I did a 2-week housesitting stay caring for a 15-year-old senior dog. In addition, I volunteer at PetSmart, helping look after stray and feral cats of all ages, including kittens, in their pet enclosure. Ultimately, I’m both a cat and dog lover. I enjoy caring for pets of all personality types—including feistier cats—as well as all breeds and sizes, from small to large. Currently have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after pets, specifically for walking (for dogs), feeding, playing with, and caring for them. It’s my priority to ensure the pets feel loved and cared for. With my current flexible schedule, I am available for several days of the week providing dog walking services, housesitting stay-overs, and drop-in visits. When caring for pet’s for housesitting, I always aim to follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, walked or let out as needed, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they enjoy that). I respect the client’s space and keep the house clean and tidy. For drop-ins and dog walking, I focus on making each visit and walk a positive experience for the pet(s). Walks are thus tailored to the dog’s energy levels and needs, whether it’s a short stroll or active playtime. I also pay attention to weather conditions and use proper gear to ensure their safety. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between—so they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

“Zoey & Steven are a lovely couple and excellent dog Walker. My dog is energetic and playful, they handled him well and had a lot of fun. They also respond quickly and agree to walk him even when it’s pretty late. High recommended.”


“Nava has continuously been providing excellent care for our sweet old dog, Rolo. We highly recommend her services!

We are looking forward to booking with her in the future!”


About: From cuddling with cats to playing fetch with dogs, I find deep satisfaction in providing attentive and loving care to furry friends of all shapes and sizes. Every pet has their own unique personality and preferences, and I take great pride in tailoring my services to ensure each one feels happy, comfortable, and loved in their owner's absence. I am very flexible in terms of scheduling. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into both my daily and weekly routines, reflecting a commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to the specific needs of each animal. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment by setting up designated areas for rest, play, and meals. Daily routines include regular feeding times, ample fresh water, and opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation through walks, play sessions, and interactive toys. For clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining a consistent routine as closely aligned with the pets' usual schedule as possible. This includes adhering to feeding times, administering medications if necessary, and ensuring the environment remains clean and secure.
