House Sitting Scugog

“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.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was a young child and have experience with walking breeds of all sizes - Chihuahuas to Great Danes! Whether you dog is a cuddly and just needs some love and attention, a good round of tug-of-war, or a quick jog to burn off some energy I would be happy to provide the same high level of care for your pup as I do for my own dog, Stella. I am free early mornings on some weekdays and most week nights. I have more flexibility with weekends to suit your needs! Want to get in early to practice that presentation at work? Need to suddenly visit family? Or do you just need a break or a date night? I have got you covered! You don't need to stress about your dog(s) on top of everything else life is throwing at you! You can provide me with as detailed instructions as you would like. Details and following instructions are my forte and I promise your dog(s) will be looked after exactly as you please! And if I have any questions about anything I will always follow-up before your booking to confirm details.

About: People often say I grew up in a zoo because we had so many pets. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, hermit crabs...you name it. Unfortunately due to my often unpredictable work schedule I no longer have time to properly maintain a small zoo but I still crave pet playtime time and would love to care for yours when I can. Our home is small but we make up for it with our sizeable yard and live near farmland which makes for good walks. We have a 1 year old daughter who loves animals as well. Cats are her favorite but once she gets used to new dogs she's a huge fan of them too. We can’t wait to meet some of your wonderful furbabies! I am currently working part time and as such have some free time on my hands which I am looking to fill with activities that will get me out of the house and keep me active. It is possible I might have to work during your pet's stay but I am open to discussing that with any prospective clients to ensure I will be a good fit. I have a large outdoor yard and our home is surrounded by farmland which makes for some good long walks. Pets under my care are welcome to roam freely unless crating requested (crates must be provided by client). Mealtimes, walks, and potty breaks provided in accordance with client's request and/or my availability.

“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: I have had and looked after multiple different types of dogs since I was child, including being responsible for over a week at certain times I am currently in college so my schedule is flexible, i can work with you for the best schedule that fits for your dogs needs. 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?

“Aarthi was a fantastic help to us house and pet sitting our elder dog and energetic cat while we were on vacation. It was important to us that our pets could stay in an environment they’re use to, especially our 14 yr old dog who is starting to slow down. Aarthi was flexible to meet ahead of time, see the house and understand their routines. She has a warm and friendly personality, and her affection for animals was evident from the moment we met her. She kept us informed as to how they were doing and sent a few pics too. We will definitely have her back!”

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.

“Selena house sat for us (two dogs and a kitty) over a weekend. All animals immediately fell in love with her. The communication was fantastic, and it was clear that everyone was well taken care of. Thanks Selena! :)”

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Thursday, so I can't do those days, but my weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

“Stephanie was wonderful with our girls and kept us informed on how they were doing while we were away. The house was spotless when we got home. It was like she wasn't even here. We will definitely be using her againa”

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!

“Emma did a fantastic job of watching after our animals while we were gone on vacation. She sent us lots of daily updates and pics to keep us at ease while we were away. We'll definitely be using Emma again in the future.”

“Karen was great looking after Luna and Panko on short notice. They both loved her and we felt very in the loop while we were away. I would happily have Karen look after them again ?”

About: Hello! My name is Lacey, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away. As a lifelong dog owner, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including large breeds. I understand that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized attention. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. I am currently off for the summer so I have free time to take care of your furry family members. I am mostly available during the week but some weekends as well I am not able to care for your pets in my home but would gladly come to your homes and care for your furry family members

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.

“She was wonderful with my dogs! I have a rescue, a puppy and a senior. They all loved her. Shenley makes them feel comfortable and plays with them all day.”

“Amy was great. Kasper really seemed to like her. He’s usually a little hesitant with people. I think he’s made a new friend. Bentley well he’s Bentley. Haha. I heard that he did warm up to Amy and became friends. I recommend Amy. My guys are sometimes scared of everything and she made them feel comfortable. I really enjoyed that they could stay home and I didn’t need to send them to a doggy hotel l, which is usually stressful for them. When I got home. My boys were happy and my home was well taken care of. I will be asking Amy to watch the boys again. I highly recommend her.”
