Dog Walking St. Clements

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

“Sunny gave great updates and sent a lot of pictures when she looked after my dog. She was punctual and I felt I could rely on her which was very reassuring. It was a great experience to communicate with her and I felt very secure that my dog was being looked after and was happy. Thank you so much Sunny!”

“Thank you so much. I’ve been told it is so cold out there!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience. I've cared for my own dogs and cats since childhood, helped foster puppies and dogs, gained professional experience caring for animals, and spent years providing trusted pet care for friends, family, and neighbours. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Waterloo and am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy staying active through walks while providing pets with the attention, companionship, and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and week, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience entering and caring for clients' homes through previous positions, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and trustworthy in someone else's space. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. For services in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to secure walking routes, a fenced play area, and a nearby fenced dog park for exercise and enrichment.

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 10 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

“Kara was friendly, on time and very kind. You can tell she really cares for animals. I asked her a ton of questions and we set up some times to walk our high energy dog, Link. He loved her. She sent lots of photos and a video which was great. She’s going to help us out as we are expecting our first baby any day now and Kara seemed extremely reliable. Will be booking her again! Thanks Kara!”

“I’ve only had Sarah booked for one walk so far, but she’s been awesome! She agreed to do a meet and greet with us to meet our pup and visit our building. She took photos and sent updates during the walk. We plan to continue booking with Sarah!”

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am an experienced dog owner who runs my own training, grooming and pet care business in New Hamburg called Canine Community Corner. We offer a wide variety of services, such as boarding, walking, drop in visits, bath and brush, and nail trim services. We also carry a wide variety of pet care products in our storefront, most of which are made by other local small businesses. In my home, I have 2 dogs and a cat. In the past I have also had a bearded dragon, a chameleon, hamster, rats, and mice, so I am experienced with a wide range of animals. During their stay with us, your pet will receive flexible 5 star care, depending on their needs and preferences. My dogs and I are avid hikers, and often spend our free time out on walks through the forest. If your dog prefers to stay home, we are also able to provide a calm and quiet environment for the duration of their stay. I also have a wide variety of actives they can do at my facility in the case of bad weather, including a treadmill, obstacle training, and scent work activities. My goal and belief as a pet professional is that services should be catered to each specific client, and not a one size fits all model. Because of the size of our living space and the nature of my job/business, I do require that any dogs coming to stay with us are crate trained and that their crate is brought with them. This not only allows for a smooth and stress-free stay, but provides your dog with a familiar safe space in a new environment. If your dog has any sort of separation anxiety, please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly. Feel free to message me with questions at any time! Because I am a small business owner, I have a very flexible schedule that can change depending on the needs of my clients - whether that’s in a drop-in, walk, or boarding service. Our canine clients often spend the day with my at my storefront, then come hone with me in the evenings to hang out until bedtime. Depending on the dog and the preferences of the owner, they may also participate in group classes as a demo dog to help show the exercises being taught. I am currently living in an apartment that opens outside to a large yard. Dogs are kept on a long line, unless otherwise specified by their owner that they are able to be reliably off leash. Even with owner permission, I typically avoid any off leash time that could potentially lead to the dog escaping or getting injured. I also have a very structured system in my home, where I introduce dogs through a parallel pack walk before letting them interact either indoors or outdoors. I also spend a significant amount of time working on calm and impulse control, and avoid letting pets in my home get overly excited.

“Nicole was very good with our puppy. She has good training in obedience and she was very pleasant to deal with. She was on time and our puppy loved her.”

Dale K.

“My dog, Friday, is almost 17, but still very active. Kristine gave him good long walks, went at his pace, and took a great amount of care in ensuring his well-being. He was immediately at ease with her - not something that is true of everyone with him. She was punctual, flexible, and personable. I felt extremely confident leaving Friday in her care, and returned home after my appointments to find my dog relaxed and happy. I would strongly recommend Kristine to anyone seeking loving pet care.”

Susan E.

“Felt very comfortable using Jasmine. She understood our needs and kept us updated on her walk with Guinness. I will be definitely be uaing her again”

About: I have had a lifelong experience with many animals. Having owned my own pup since she was a baby, I understand the unique challenges and joys of raising a dog. Additionally, growing up with two family owned dogs, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, chickens, and cats I have been given me a wealth of hands-on knowledge in different breeds and personalities. This background not only enhances my ability to connect with animals of all ages but also ensures that I can provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your animals will feel right at home with me! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. With two dogs, I start each day with food, walks and playtime, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule also includes dedicated time for feeding and caring for our guinea pigs, cats, and ferrets, making sure each animal receives the love and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, following their feeding and exercise schedules. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and daily walks. I also keep the home clean and secure, monitoring for any safety hazards. Regular updates and communication with pet owners are key, ensuring they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own.
