Dog Sitting St. Catharines

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Both big and small dogs. I've always loved dogs and look forward to meeting and supporting more. I work full-time Monday through Friday. I am off at 4pm. And if I can be of any assistance to anyone who works weekday afternoons/evenings/weekends or just needs some extra help with pet care, that's awesome. I know what it's like to feel guilty leaving the house for work/going out or having an emergency that leaves your pets home for extended hours. Pets are not just pets. They are family! And if I can bring owners some peace of mind knowing their dog was let outside to go to the bathroom and checked in on, that's amazing. I will strive to accomplish what needs to be accomplished efficiently, whether that's letting your pet out to use the bathroom, make sure their food and water dishes replenished and get some pets and a little bit of play in. If it's a walk your dog needs, I'm your girl. I love going for walks in general and have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm also on a weight loss journey so talking your pet out for a stroll is great for both of us!

About: With three years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to giving each pet personalized attention and care. I have experience with puppy training basics like leash walking and potty routines, and I’m patient and gentle with senior pets who need extra time and comfort. Pet care is my top priority — I am fully available and flexible to fit your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after anytime you need. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always make safety and comfort my top priorities. I feed them on schedule, make sure they have fresh water, and keep their living space clean and cozy. I give them lots of love, playtime, and attention so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I follow any special instructions you provide, from giving medication to sticking to training routines. I respect your home and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! 🐾 I’ve been a proud dog owner since I was just a kiddo of 8!. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with three adorable South African Boa Bull dogs, two loyal Rottweilers, and now my delightful golden doodle! I’ve gathered quite the treasure trove of experience in dog care – from whipping up tasty meals for them, going on exciting walks, and playing fun games, to stocking up on their favorite toys and cleaning up their little messes. I also know all the best spots for those irresistible belly rubs! I’m here to help keep your pup happy and healthy, providing invigorating walks and lots of love! With my years of experience as a dog parent, I’m ready to be a part of your furry friend’s life. If you could bring along your dog’s favorite toys, snacks, bowls, that would be fantastic! Let’s make sure your four-legged buddy has the best time ever! 🐶💖 I work from home so it is easy to schedule myself into rover as I have the time and space needed for the work and a dog I have a fenced yard and a quiet walkable neighborhood that we can go on lots of strolls on. I also have a dog to play with

About: I am actively working as a veterinary assistant trained as a vet tech for the past 7 years. I previously worked in a pet rehabilitation facility where we helped pets recover from major surgery. I also completed a professional dog trainer certification through Canine Academy in Milton. I use a positive-reinforcement, reward based gentle approach for pet care and handling. Last year, I attended a workshop to learn low stress patient protocols for veterinary professionals and am fear free certified. I’ve even taught my dog to give consent for nail trims and trim his nails successfully every 2 weeks. I also have previously worked as a dog walker and daycare attendant. Recently I started offering in home nail trims for pets and would love to extend that support to drop in visits, pet sitting & medication/injection administration. I can monitor pets with medical needs closely and want to provide relief to pet parents who need support in any way. I’m here for you and your fur family and will accommodate each pets individual needs 💛 I work 4 days a week, evenings/weekends and Wednesdays I am off. While I am at work I have an hour break and can use that for drop in visits/let outs. I am a very detail oriented, clean person and will respect the space I am providing service in. I will clean up after your pets as I do with mine alike.

“Anna was a great pet sitter. She checked in on 2 cats for a week, making sure they had food, cleaned their litter and sent us excellent updates throughout the week. Even responding long after the check was done because I missed her original messages. Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”

About: I have two Goldendoodles who are truly my best friends, and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! I’ve always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I’ve also had experience looking after my neighbours’ dogs, including house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs both in my neighbourhood and in my hometown, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel right at home! I’m currently in my third year at Brock University, studying Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice! I’m available every afternoon, with full availability from Thursday through Sunday. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention and are always my priority. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I will ensure your dog is always in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and having fun throughout the day so they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a great night’s sleep!

About: I've taken care of my own dogs and cat for years! I trained my dogs myself as well. I've also helped family and friends with pet care like walking, daily dog park trips, bathing,feeding and the like. We have dogs, cats, lizards and horses in our family! So no shortage on the animal lovers over here! I am currently at home with my toddler and work very minimal hours part time so I have lots of availability for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs. If needed I can provide a crate. I also have the ability to keep your pets seperate as there are several gates in my home.

About: Hi! I’m Holly, a lifelong dog lover who works from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a 15 year old small fluffy white dog with medical needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog’s care. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re used to. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication (including eye drops), special feeding routines, and dogs with separation anxiety who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, so I am available to take your dog on walks, playtime, and potty breaks as needed. There is a dog bed in my office for your pup to hang out with me! I am attentive to all specific instructions. If your pet has specific needs like personality quirks, separation anxiety, medication schedules, or is very routine-driven, just let me know and I’m happy to adapt. All dogs are different, so let me know how I can best replicate your typical schedule to provide some stability and comfort for your pet!

“Holly has come to check-in on my two cats multiple times now. She is so incredible every time. I have a very shy cat and she let's Holly pet her—which is so rare!! Holly always takes such good care of the cats so that I don't ever have to worry when I'm away. I recommend her for all your pet sitting needs wholeheartedly!”

About: I have my own dog that I have taken care of for 12 years now where I have raised, trained, and taught him from 2 months old till now. A special skill that I have taught my own dog is sign language. He knows 25 signs and continues to learn more. In terms of my sitting style, I am well versed in understand dog psychology and behaviour and can pick up responses and adapt to them efficiently. I will also be sure to give clear updates to the pet owners and ensure that proper care and treatment is provided! I am currently working part time and will balance dog sitting/walking on my days off or before/after shifts. Dog walking/sitting also fits into my routine of going for walks and similarly taking care of my own dog. I strongly care for pets in my clients home by investing my energy, care, and support for each pet. I ensure that I meet the pet owners requirements by interacting and keeping the pet company at all times. I will ensure that I perform the dog duties requested by the owners and that I ensure the clients home is cared for.

About: I've had pets my whole life but it wasn't until I adopted a dog of my own that I truly learned what it means to care for one. I now have experience with reactive and fearful dogs, counter conditioning, desensitization, and canine enrichment. I just received notice of an indefinite layoff so I will have all the time in the world to do something I genuinely enjoy. I feed both my dog and foster dog using enrichment tools(snuffle, puzzle, Kong, find it) trim their nails with a Dremel weekly, give them meds daily. They're always so excited for their daily walks, rain or shine. Though our foster boy needs to be bundled up to handle the cold. I believe following a routine is important. Pets will be fed when they're used to, given meds as prescribed by your vet. Light grooming if requested (I may charge for more challenging grooms. Details can be discussed). If your dog is afraid of nail trims, brushing or anything else, we can work together on cooperative care to make necessary care less stressful for them.

About: My name is Cordelia, and i adore animals !! i’ve had pets for as long as i can remember! i currently have an cocker spaniel named dodger :) In the past, i have house sat and walked family and friends dogs before so this isn’t my first time. i look forward to meeting your dog and treating him/her like my own 💗 I am currently studying to take my NCLEX so I do have quite a bit of free time. In my free time i would love to be able to walk, play, and care for your fur baby 🐶 As of right now, my house is unavailable for drop in visits at my home, however i am able to walk and pet sit in your home. i’m able to follow any instructions and/or routines that your pet usually has!

About: My experience with pet care started with my sister’s dog, who I’ve had the pleasure of helping care for since she was just a puppy. I’ve looked after her in their apartment, making sure she always had fresh food and water, taking her out for walks, and spending time playing and getting her exercise. One of my favourite parts of caring for her has always been getting her outside and letting her have some fun. I’d take her for walks, get some exercise and of course plenty of playtime. I’m newer to pet sitting professionally, but I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and I understand how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and preferences and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll always treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a consistent window in my day to dedicate to pet care. I’m primarily available between 11 AM and 3 PM, making me a great fit for daytime drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so taking a dog for a walk is something I genuinely look forward to rather than simply seeing it as a responsibility. During each visit, I’ll make sure your dog gets more than just the basics. I’ll give them attention, play with them, take them for a walk if requested, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy before I leave. My goal is to become someone you can count on and feel comfortable having care for your pet on a regular basis. I know that having someone come into your home and care for your pet is a big responsibility, and trust is extremely important to me. Before my first visit, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, personality, and anything else you feel is important. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine stays as familiar and comfortable as possible. When I’m out walking your dog, I’ll stay attentive to them and their surroundings and prioritize their safety at all times. At home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would expect for my own. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. I’ll be patient, give them plenty of attention, and let them warm up to me at their own pace. You’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll do my best to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for, and that you have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Tessa could not have been more attentive and caring for Freya. We really appreciated her visits today.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals ever since I was younger and have dog sit before. I’m looking forward to talking care of your pet with whatever requirements you may need. I’m a full time university who in their spare time is looking to play with some pets or even just sit on the couch with them! I’m hardworking and reliable, looking to expand my experience :) I take care of my grandparents dog from time to time, including long walks, feeding routines, and providing medication. I’ve done overnight stays before with family’s pets, or daily check in visits. Growing up I had a cat and took care of her everyday, although let’s be honest cats are very independent. I’m usually the person people ask when they’re going away on vacation and need a friend for their pup! In my pet care experience I care for dogs or cats by being a person to play with and walk with, or even someone to sit with. I’m able to be that person your pet can hangout with while their owners are gone. I’m a trustworthy individual who can be interactive with your pet while you’re gone or just be in their presence. I’m able to come into your home, as I feel pets should stay in their environment they’re comfortable in!!

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve always connected easily with dogs and am comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable. I genuinely enjoy walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of focused attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. My schedule is flexible, so I can welcome walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy getting to know dogs and their routines, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your dog’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely for walks, feeding, routines, and home access. Dogs will stay securely leashed outdoors, and I’ll pay close attention to their body language and surroundings. I’ll communicate with you immediately if anything unexpected occurs.
