“Natasha was prompt and professional with an obvious affinity for our young pups. We were thrilled to be leaving our dogs in her care and she did a phenomenal job administering to their needs. We will certainly be calling upon her services again in the future!”

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.

About: I've had cats for over 12 years and taken care of friends and families dogs on multiple occasions including walks, pet sitting, and house sitting while they were away. My skills include training, and senior care. I work part-time and have very flexible hours so I can make most situations work. I currently have 2 cats and my partners dogs who I take care of on occasion. I ensure I have care needs from owners and rules/steps involved to ensure the pet gets the correct care needed and requested from the owner.

“Ginny was amazing. She took excellent care of our puppy and older lab keeping them happy, the regular updates made us feel at ease. Highly recommended.”

About: Since a young age, I have been exposed to dogs as my mother was a vet technician (now retired) in the Durham Region community. Since then, I have developed a love for dogs and I am always looking for an opportunity to spend time with dogs. From 2006 to present, I have been lucky enough to look after four dogs of my own that were really truly a member of the family and enjoyed looking after them. As a dog sitter, I am available to dog sit for those exciting vacations that you hope to take or simply walk your dog during those busy days at home or at work! For my availability, contact me for more information! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am currently working part time in the retail industry while in university full time, so my schedule may be different from time to time. My availability can be discussed to fit your pet’s needs! At my client’s home, I will always be there for your pet! When we aren’t taking a walk outside, I like to sit and relax with your pet with a book or watching television. If your pet wants to go outside, we will do that, play fetch or just spend time outside and enjoy the weather!

“Andrea is great with the animals and sends regular messages with pictures to reassure any anxious pet owner that things are ok. She is also a great house guest, as she leaves the house just as she found it.”

I am reliable and you can depend on me to care for every dog. Depending on their personality and lifestyle. Do they need a lot of physical activity? Do they need a lot of attention?

“Selena was fantastic with Ozzy! Tending to his regular routine for the day and sending updates and pictures and videos. Ozzy and I are so thankful to have found you! Thank you Selena!”

About: I’ve loved animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them since I was a child, so being around them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I love playing with them, going for walks, giving them plenty of affection, and simply spending time together. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved. As a PhD student at Ontario Tech University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walking and pet care into my routine. I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love and have always enjoyed doing for free. I can usually arrange walks and visits around my classes, research, and other academic commitments. My wife is also a pet sitter, so our house always has a pet to make our days happier :) I’ll care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of affection, while respecting their routine, personality, and specific needs. My goal is to make every walk or visit safe, fun, and enjoyable.

“Thank you, Teagan for looking after our dogs and cat when we were away. They absolutely love you and we appreciated the updates you sent. It was great to come home to happy pets and a spotless house. We will definitely use Teagan again!!”

About: I’ve trained and taken full care of my puppy Ollie… as well as just taken care of both of my dogs all my life… I enjoy spending much of my time with animals and always make sure they’re well taken care of. I am currently on a gap year so I am home all the time… I walk and feed my dogs everyday and spend almost all my time with them. I have an open backyard that is about 3 acres as well as a fenced in section. I am very flexible and able to do what ever you need me to do!

About: Hello! My name is Jacqueline, and I've had a lifelong love for animals. Growing up with dogs since a young age has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I bring that wealth of experience to every dog I look after. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they need. I prioritize safety in all activities, whether it's a walk in the park or playtime! I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I’m experienced with handling dogs with special needs, anxiety, or specific dietary requirements. I’m excited to provide a loving and safe environment for your dog while you’re away. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels at home! 🐾💗 I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine! I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks and playtime rather than your pet being left alone for long periods. I already have a dog of my own, Hershey, so walks, outdoor time and lots of doggy attention are already part of our everyday life. I’m also able to be flexible with feeding schedules, medications, walks and any routines your pet is used to at home. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable, safe and at home. When staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family and get lots of attention, affection, playtime and regular outdoor breaks. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I have a friendly cockapoo named Hershey, so I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I also prefer to keep the number of pets I care for at one time limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks and any special instructions you provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so keeping you updated and making sure your pet is happy and well cared for is very important to me.

“Randy took good care of our cat while we were away. He was conscientious and thoughtful, giving regular updates and leaving our house clean and tidy.”

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. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

About: In my 11-year journey with my very first dog, I learned what unconditional love, care, and attention truly meant. Now, I am happy to extend that love and care to other dogs, providing careful supervision and engaging playtime to ensure their well-being and happiness. Caring for these precious beings is a profound and heartwarming experience that awaits! I’m comfortable staying for short and extended days when housesitting. Get a special discount for stays longer than 15 days! I always try to keep things affordable, so feel free to reach out♡ Creating a trusted environment is my top priority. I am respectful and sweet with every furry friend I meet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. During the day, I enjoy playtime, and mostly refreshing walks. If it's nighttime, I like to create cozy indoor activities like gentle grooming sessions, soothing massages, or calm bedtime music to create a relaxing atmosphere. I also like to maintain a clean environment, ensuring everything is neat, and I always prioritize open communication, providing fast updates.

About: I was born into a home with pets. My parents, my grandparents, aunts and uncles, all had pets. It was the most normal thing in the world to have a dog or cat cuddle up to me while I played with my toys, watched movies, or did my homework. It was the best kind of life and I am honoured everyday to have lived in the presence of such amazing animals. I couldn’t imagine my life without a pet. Up until this past March, I had a cat named August. We would go everywhere together, on car rides, camping, even sometimes on walks. He would get excited to run, and probably irritated that he could outrun me, but mostly he loved the car. I had always wanted a dog, but I’m waiting until I own a house, for security and space. In the meantime, I melt into other people’s dogs. I love how excited they get to see me, the love they experience in me before they even know me is overwhelming, and it makes my heart melt. I once had a passenger tip me a large tip because her dog, who hates people, loved me. It makes me feel a little impatient to have one of my own but I’m not there yet. So, until then, I am looking to spend time with, caring, for other people’s dogs. I welcome the opportunity to be a part of a dog’s world, even if only briefly, and hopefully I melt into them as they do into me. I am an artist (singer/songwriter and writer of prose) and an Uber driver. My rates are what they are so I can take the time needed to spend with your pet, and focus far less attention on work. Tending to the care and attention of another’s animal would be an excellent inclusion into my artistic process. As an Uber driver, I can take the time off, so I can focus entirely on the fur baby in my care. We will go on walks, enjoy each other’s company, and eat according to their set schedule. I am flexible and willing to meet the special demands of your little one. I will ensure any physical aids your dog requires, from medications to physical supports, will be handled with the utmost care.

“This was the first time I'd left my dog with professional dogsitters and I couldn't be happier. Lorena and Mark were absolutely wonderful before and during a 5-day stay with my pup. They established trust with my dog before my departure and understood how to create an immediate bond with her, despite the fact she can take some time to warm up to people. They are clearly experts in dealing with all types of dogs. They were so kind and loving with her, showered her with affection and ensured she had lots of play and outdoor time. All of this was fully documented in photos and videos and I was able to see how well she was doing for the duration of their stay, enabling me to enjoy my trip without stress. When my return plans changed at the last minute, they were very understanding and flexible. And when I returned home, the house was absolutely spotless - no evidence at all that they had been here. I can unreservedly recommend Lorena and Mark to other dog owners, both for the exceptional care that their dogs will receive and for their own peace of mind.”
