Dog Sitting St. Catharines

“Shealin was 10/10. She went above and beyond while caring for our young cat. Very responsive, very loving and ensured our cat had enough play, treats, food and love. Would recommend if you’re looking for a cat sitter!”

About: Reliable local dog walker in St. Catharines 🐶 Experienced with both dogs and cats, I treat every pet like my own. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up in Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula, I spent a lot of time outdoors and around animals, which helped build my connection with them. I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and currently have four cats with my girlfriend. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, going for walks, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I always prioritize safety and comfort, taking the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. During visits and walks, I make sure pets are supervised, getting the exercise they need, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet you and your pet! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time outdoors, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine.

About: “The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.”- M.K.Clinton As far as I can remember, I don’t think I have spent a day without a dog in my life. Dogs have been an essential part of my being since I was a child. I’m an avid dog lover who just needs an excuse to be with a dog anytime of the day! :-) I have first hand experience in caring for dogs for the past 9 years. I love them with all my heart & I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure that your soulful furry pal is comfortable & cherished in my home. Their presence is a blessing in any life. I work from home which gives me full flexibility & freedom to be with my fur ball ( a super friendly Pomeranian) 24/7. Hence, your fur baby will have my constant attention & love all the time. My husband is my partner in care & we will make sure your paw some little one gets all the attention he needs and even more! I have all sorts of toys (for small dogs) to activate their little smart mind & give them ample amount of exercise for a healthy lifestyle. Kindly schedule a meet & greet before your pet's stay so he/she can sniffle around the new surroundings & give his/hers warm approval :-) I look forward to meet your fur companion! Unfortunately no home boarding available at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Your fur babies are like my own! Always treated with love & care.

“Chelsea dropped in to check on my 11 week old puppy, Milo, on very short notice. Chelsea took Milo outside and spent time playing with him before returning him to his crate. Milo was calm and happy when I returned home. I would definitely book Chelsea again and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pup!”

About: I have had pets my entire life, dogs, cats, and exotics. I also have experience pet sitting AND giving medical care to multiple species as a Vet Tech! This means I don't shy away from medically complicated pets! I work full time, 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week, but, depending on the location, am able to stop in on my lunch if it is needed! I normally provide care in the clients home, following client directions and making sure that they are as comfortable and happy as possible when you are away.

“This is our second time booking Lise & Luwam! We had to be away from home for almost a week and knew that our cats were both in such good hands. We loved the updates and photos during each visit, and appreciate their attentiveness to caring for them and giving them the human attention we know our cats love 🩷”

About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.

About: Hi! I’m a professional psychologist with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral needs and I bring that same empathy, patience, and awareness into caring for your dog. I don’t just watch dogs; I truly connect with them. I pay close attention to their unique personality, energy levels, and subtle body language so they feel safe, calm, and deeply understood while away from home. What you can expect: Tailored Attention: Whether your dog is sensitive, high energy, or simply loves company, I adapt my approach to fit their specific personality. Enrichment & Comfort: I balance gentle care with structure and affection to keep their mind engaged and routine stress free. Peace of Mind: You’ll receive regular updates so you can rest easy knowing your dog is loved and emotionally secure. My ultimate goal is for your dog to feel as relaxed, happy, and cared for as they do in their own home! We work remotely, so your dog will rarely be alone. If we need to run errands, absences are short and never longer than three hours We live in a calm, pet-free home with no children, which allows us to give your dog our full attention and care. We only host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care and a peaceful environment. Our neighborhood has plenty of green spaces perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Safety and hygiene are always a priority. Our home is kept clean, secure, and dog-friendly, and I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your dog may have. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

“Karen was great, would highly recommend her services. She was wonderful and easy to connect with and communicate with. She asked questions and was very good at keeping us up to date with her arrival and leaving. She also took AMAZING photos of our pup.”

About: First of all - I empathize with your tough decision; leaving your fur baby in the hands of another is always a stressful experience. I want to make sure this is a pawsitive experience for you - to answer any questions, send regular updates and photos of your fur baby being spoiled, feeling safe and comfortable in your absence - which would be stressful for them as well. I will not derail your training or nutrition routines as I know it takes a lot of work and dedication to raise a healthy, happy pet. I work full time M to F, 8 to 3. If by chance your fur baby needed to spend any weekdays with me, I’m happy to crate or provide a space free of dangers - garbages up, stairs downstairs gated off and peaceful music in the background. I can also ask my folks (retired) to stop by for a pet and a pee. Mainly - I am looking to sit during weekends (when I am fully off) and holidays (I get all school holidays off) - where it will be me and your fur baby from morning till night! Also - if your pet is more comfortable at his/her own home, I don’t mind having the discussion of me staying over with you. I think it would be really beautiful to get to know your pet like an auntie so that you all can rely on a familiar face as you travel and your pets grow older! I live on an acre of land, with a creek in my backyard. I do not live on a busy street, however, I do not have a fenced in property. I would never let your dog or cat outside to roam without myself at the end of their leash. I will gladly exercise your fur baby with toys, lick pads and long-tether leash walks, in the backyard, on the trails (depending on heartworm/tick medications up to date), but I would never let them out of my sight (I wouldn’t even be able to do that with my own fur baby as I don’t want them to get into anything and frankly I don’t trust people out there!!)

About: I’ve had my own cocker for 10 years and my family have always had pets in their home. We are animal lovers and my children love dogs. Your dog will be treated like family and I very much look forward to giving you the peace of mind that your pet is in good hands with us here. Welcome to Scallywags Sitter Services! I hope you find what you need here! We will get out for a morning walk before it gets too hot and then have the yard for plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in yard all the way around my home so they will get great exercise with our dog. Any friends we’ve had stay with us, have loved being able to do zoomies around the house.

About: We all know that it can be challenging for our pets to be apart from their humans - for dogs especially - so why add more stress to their lives by taking them away from the comforts of home? I specialize in pet-sitting in your home. Harmonizing with your pets’ unique routines, my foremost goal is to make each of your animals feel loved and heard throughout the care experience. I ensure there is no interruptions to the comforts of their daily lives, from personalized feeding and walk schedules, administering medication, satisfying special dietary needs, and beyond. I have been looking after people’s pets since Summer 2023 and have found a talent for bringing ease to even the most wary of animals. From a big-lunged Boxer looking to be loved, to a shy, elderly Ginger cat that chose me as her best friend, I pride myself on using my empathy to quickly earn the trust of every pet I have cared for. I am open to working with dogs and cats of any size or age. Book me for an in-house sitting, drop ins, or walks! I currently work Monday-Thursday, 8:30am-4:30pm, near Brock University. If you are located close by, I can take care of your pets during my lunch hour All day availability for pet care is offered Friday-Sunday Work full-time? Going on a trip? Book me any day of the week if your pets are used to being alone for 6-8hrs! When I look after your pets, their needs come first. I am stepping into their home, so I abide by their routines, comforts, and needs. At the meet & greet, you and I will discuss what their average day looks like so that I can emulate the same experience while you are away. I personalize schedules for feeding, walks, and level of socialization. I have experience administering medication and working with pets with disabilities (blindness, lack of hearing, etc.)

About: My experience with pets is from back home in Brazil. I have at home a cat, 3 dogs, a turtle, and a bird (Yeah, a lot I know haha). Of all the pets that I have, I have a special connection with my dogs. They are like my shadow and always wants to stay next to me. I can’t even imagine how they are missing me since I moved to Canada, and I also miss them like crazy. Being a sitter will complete this part that I most miss from home. Im currently working full time during the week. I’m available for drop in’s and walks during the week from 07am to 8am / 05:30pm to 08pm. For house sitting I’m available starting Friday 05:30pm to Sunday 07pm. Message me if you have any questions. I care so much about the attention that is needed to the pets. They are so loyal with us and just wanna feel loved and cared of.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. I currently work full-time, and my availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

“Nadia gave me full confidence and comfort for my big trip away from my senior cat. I had never tried any in home pet services like this before and with Nadia's direct and clear communications I'll certainly be doing this again. Im very thankful for her help. Nadia is highly recommended, shes trustworthy and confident.”
