Marisa was so wonderful! She was communicative and quick in her responses, and sent pictures of our kitty while we were away. We would definitely use her again!

We had a great experience with Becca! She was more than willing to care for our two kitties in a last minute booking, and was also happy to fit a meet and greet in her schedule prior to the booking! She stayed for longer than the 30 minutes each visit to play with our fur babies, which we greatly appreciated! Also made sure they got water, food and emptied the litter boxes daily! We will definitely be booking with Becca again☺️

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. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and enjoy taking dogs out for exercise and fresh air. I always prioritize safety and comfort when caring for pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel relaxed and cared for. During visits or walks I make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting the attention and exercise they need.

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 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!

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.

About: Hello! I'm Connor, a seasoned pet sitter with a remarkable history of tending to pets since the age of 8. I've diligently cared for neighbors, family, and friends' beloved companions during their absence, providing attentive services such as walking, bathing, feeding, and organizing exciting hiking and adventure trips. What Sets Me Apart Applied Behavioral Analyst Approach: Leveraging my education in applied behavioral analysis, I incorporate effective training techniques and personalized care plans to ensure your pets' holistic well-being and development. Diverse Animal Care Experience: From cats and dogs, my experience extends to various species. If you need someone to look after your unique furry friend, I'm here to offer specialized care and attention. Family-like Bonding: I believe in creating a familial atmosphere for your pets while you're away. With me, they'll receive not just attentive care but also heartfelt companionship and love. Services Offered Personalized care routines and training programs Exciting outdoor adventures and stimulating activities Applied behavioral analysis techniques for improved pet behavior Comprehensive care for a wide range of cats and dogs Regular updates and communication to keep you connected with your beloved pets Contact me today, and let's discuss how I can provide your furry little ones with the love, care, and attention they deserve in your absence. 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.

It was great to have Jacqueline take care of Walter while I was away. My usually timid cat did not cower and hide which means Jackie is quiet and caring. As I understand they had great conversations - lol. She made the entire process very easy and when I returned home she had the cat's food and dishes cleaned and orderly. Thank you from Jeff & Walter.

We had a hard time finding someone who would take the time to work with our dog. Fynn is anxious and needs someone with patience to get to know him. Jenny has been the perfect choice. She is not just “ good with dogs “ she is knowledgeable, has experience, patient, and truly good with Fynn. We have her do drop in visits and a walk. She reassures us that fynn is taken care of every time she visits. We can not recommend her enough.
