Dog Sitting St. Catharines

“Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++”

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.

“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”

Flexible Pet Care Schedule Aligned with Your Pet's Needs As a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home Monday to Friday and occasionally take on part-time shifts during evenings and weekends. This means your pet will almost always have someone home with them, ensuring consistent companionship and supervision. I'm available seven days a week and happy to accommodate your specific scheduling needs. While there may be occasional times I need to step out for work or travel throughout the year, your pet’s safety remains my top priority. If your pet is crate-trained or feels more comfortable in a crate when left briefly alone, I’ll ensure they’re settled safely and securely. I build regular walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks into my day to keep your pet active, stimulated, and cared for. And when I’m not home, my partner is—so your pet will never be left completely alone. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being come first in our home, no matter how full the schedule may be. Nurturing Environment Tailored to Your Pet's Comfort and Safety Whether in my cozy home or yours, I ensure your pet's safety, trust, and comfort remain at the forefront of my care approach. In My Home: With a safe and secure neighborhood, your dog will enjoy strolls in the unfenced front and back yard, always under my close supervision on a leash. My spacious home allows ample room for your pet to roam and play, offering them the opportunity to indulge in their love for running from one end to the other. If your pet requires crate time, there's sufficient space to accommodate their needs. In Your Home: I bring the same level of attentiveness and care to your pet in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Ensuring their safety and well-being, I follow any specific instructions you provide diligently. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time, your pet will receive the same affection and care they would get in my own home. For Cats: Your feline companions will find delight in the unique, 8-ft-tall and 12-ft-wide cat tree in my home, boasting 16 spaces for exploration and napping. They'll have the perfect haven to play, lounge, and enjoy a stimulating environment. My priority is to create a nurturing and secure atmosphere, ensuring that your pets feel right at home, whether they are in my care or yours.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.

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: 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: I've been a dog-lover and pet care provider for as long as I can remember, it's no wonder I decided to make a career out of it! I couldn't do it alone though... I hated the idea of leaving my own dog behind everyday, so I choose the dog-walking route to ensure she could come along to work with me! Together, we are a dynamic duo providing premium pet care! Our goal is to help you give your furry family members the exercise, socialisation, and routine they need to be their best and happiest selves – while providing you with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands (and paws). Whether you’re interested in our walking service, overnight pet sitting, or other special occasion care, we’ve got you covered! We ensure every experience is lead with love, fun, and lots of care. Dog walking and pet sitting services are offered daily until 6pm usually. I'm currently available to provide overnight pet sitting from approximately 7pm to 7am. Daytime care for overnight pets is also available to be booked as walks or drop-in services at their respective rates. This is my full time job, so I can be flexible. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding availability! I choose to provide overnight care in your home to ensure your pup is in the place that feels the safest and most comfortable. They get to stick to their routine and be surrounded by their own things, ensuring the least stressful experience during their time apart from you. Please keep in mind that my own dog (female, cockapoo) joins me for all overnight stays and most walking services or drop-ins, so your dog and you must be dog-friendly!

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 have two pet dogs back home. Always had kittens in the house growing up. We recently adopted a 2 month old frenchie who is still being trained. She likes everyone and everything so she can be with other dogs and pets, no problem. I can do drop ins, house sitting and take your pets for walks. I enjoy being around pets and look forward to meeting as many of them. I work on the weekdays and i am available on the weekends. My husband works from home and is available on most days. We commit as a couple to take care of your pets. I understand how some pets are strictly indoors and am really careful about it. Safety of the pet will be number 1 priority. A safe and comfortable companionship will be provided.

About: Dogs are my best friends. I have a golden retriever who is my best friend! And would love nothing more then to come meet your fur babies Please feel free to message me and we can discuss the time and day. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am available all morning and afternoon till about 4 and sometimes on weekends I have an small back yard that’ll be good for my golden and another dog to play in if needed! Your pets safety comes first.

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.

About: I volunteer at the animal shelter. I’ve been training dogs for almost 3 years now. I have worked with some really challenging dogs but also wonderful dogs as well! My Instagram page for my dogs is The Shelter Dog Diaries. You’ll be able to see how much I LOVE them! I’m a teacher so I am gone from 8:00 to 4:00 but I am able to stop in the let the dogs out on my breaks! After work I usually stay home every night so your pets will never be lonely.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

About: I am a friendly, energetic 26 year old who loves all furry friends! Growing up on a farm, I have had a long history of working with animals. I love dogs, and I began dog sitting and taking care of dogs when my family adopted our dog Riley 10 years ago. Through the years, my family has also fostered many dogs, and I have really enjoyed taking the dogs out for long walks, runs, and out to play. I would love to take care of your dog for you, whether they’re big, small, shy, outgoing, lazy or energetic. (I am also very good with cats and other small animals). I look forward to meeting you and your pet. When I am looking after a pet, their care is my top priority. I always put them first and give them as much attention as they need. I care for pets in my home very attentively and thoughtfully. If a pet has a favourite treat or a favourite activity or enjoys being pet a certain way I will make sure to give them that treat activity or walk.

About: I have experience taking care of Samoyed puppy (1 year old) for weeks at a time with around the clock care. This included walks very early in the morning to keep him out of the summer heat, feeding, brushing, entertaining, and a close careful eye as he would eat everything in sight. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is wide open. I typically get up early so I am able to do early morning walks and check-ins, as well as all throughout the day and into the evening. Spending time with dogs is my favourite way to spend the day! Since I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment, I would treat each dog like it was part of my own family, getting the highest amount of love and attention. I want to ensure each dog I care for is safe and has all of their needs met. I have lots of energy and can keep up with extremely active dogs!

I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are kept secure. I know every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll never force interaction and will pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing.

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.

About: Hi, I'm Kirsten, but you can call me Kirty as all my friends do! I've been looking after animals for other people in my life for as long as I can remember. This is where my passion lies and I want to spend as much time with animals as I can. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Next up on my list of things to learn is animal CPR! I will update once I'm certified. I work a part-time job with fairly flexible hours, and have had to balance both working and pet care many times over the last 5 years. My main priority is to do whatever is best for the pets, so I always find a way to fit them into my schedule. I'm very easy-going so we can always find something that works, together! I've spent many days and nights having slumber parties with pets at the owners houses. Whatever the pet needs, I'm there! I've had to follow special diets, provide medications, and even dealt with night terrors. I love to care for every animal as if they're my own!
