About: Many years of experience with many breeds and ages of dogs, cats and horses. I continuously learn about new technics to improve my skills to care, to groom, to train. Currently available during the week for visits, walks and grooming as well as short-term boarding. Prefer well socialized animals so that if I need to walk with several dogs or have a cat and a dog owner needing boarding, the animals can at least live within the same environment. I will walk the dogs on a leash in a safe environment; trail, walkways to ensure minimal interactions. I will let the dog off leash in a dog park if we are by ourselves; this will help at the beginning while we get to know each other and I know the dog is focus on me before introducing his/her to other dogs.
About: I’m all about fun and games with your playful pups and curious cats. From quick nail trims to keeping them entertained with catch and cuddles, I make sure your pets feel loved and cared for every step of the way. It is a daily care, from the morning, cat lick my hands for food, dog wants to go ouside to the back yard, after she’s back she need her breakfast as well. While cooking, unflavored meats are left for dog, cat is curious for everything and needs to show him what it is. Change water form the machine and also need petting time to play the toys together and give medicines while needed It is very important as I am also a customer when I am away from home, I want to see someone trusted to be in the house and take good care of my babies (who cannot travel with us😿）
About: I’ve been volunteering with Dogs and Cats since I was 12. I’ve also fostered senior cats and have dealt with individual needs for different animals on multiple occasions. I currently live with cats and have gotten use to building a tailored experience to make your animal feel loved and for the owner to feel like I could be trusted. I’m currently working from home and don’t have a strict 9-5 schedule and have weekends free and can take care of pets while you are on vacations. Having a very flexible schedule I’ll be sure to find time to fit your schedule and needs. I make sure to give time for the animal to bind with me and find an activity that the pet will enjoy engaging in. I’m very patient and open to learning how to play, pet and feed the pets in a way that is most comfortable to them. I am more than happy to accommodate specific type of petting, feeding etc. I understand each pet has individual needs and emotions and I’m very patient with the process. I hope to create a trusting space for your pet and deliver on your and the pets needs.
About: I’ve had cats & dogs since I was a kid & grew up around all types of animals. I’d be happy to come visit your pets & take them for walks or playtime! My schedule is shift work so I have fairly flexible availability on my days off. It’s a rotating schedule of 12 hour shifts so I’m available for weekdays or weekends when I’m off! My cat is my child. I’ll treat your pets with the same love & care that I do my own! Will feed/walk/play with your pets & am happy to accommodate specific needs!
About: I enjoy the company of dogs and cats providing them with a calm, fun environment where they feel safe and full of love at home. I love to take them for walks and distract them while their owners come to pick them up. I work full-time from home, which allows me to be attentive to the pet, taking care of his needs throughout his stay. when my husband comes home, together we give him the coziness of home. I listen attentively to the care that the pet requires, I do everything possible to make them feel comfortable and calm, adapting myself to their way of being and making them feel as if they were in their second home.

Ava W.
“Ava was absolutely amazing with my two dogs, Perry and Tonks! From the very first meet-and-greet, I could tell she was experienced, kind, and truly passionate about caring for animals. While I was away, Ava sent regular updates and adorable photos of Perry and Tonks having a great time—whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing. It was clear they felt totally comfortable and happy in her care, which gave me such peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, and Ava was super reliable and attentive to both of their individual needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about making them feel safe, loved, and at home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and loving on Rover, I can’t recommend Ava enough. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

She is just great.”

St. Catharines dog parents share their Rover experiences
We've been using Shannon regularly for a couple weeks now. It’s great that shes always made time for us and our last minute requests! The dog looks forward to their walks thats for sure. Today Shannon found the dog had gotten into the garbage and made a total mess…it was nice to see the picture reports of that…it was even nicer that I had no idea it happened when I got home because Shannon cleaned the place up before she left! Great communication and glad to know she handles different situations 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Dog Walker! I can’t say enough good things about Noelle! She is reliable, professional, and truly cares about my pup. My dog is always happy and well-executed to see Noelle. I love the updates and photos she sends, which give me peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear that she has a real passion for animals, and I trust her completely with my furry friend. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!
