House Sitting in Stratford

“Natalie stayed with our fur babies while we were away for just over a week. She was very communicative while we were away, kept us up to date on how everyone was doing, and took amazing care of our pets and home while we were gone. We trust everything and everyone is in good hands with Natalie! Thank you so much!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Noah. From the very first meeting, they were professional, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. They took the time to get to know our dog's routine, personality, and needs which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which reassured us that our dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious our dog felt comfortable and loved and that means everything to us. When we returned home, everything was spotless and our dog was content. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend tNoah to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care!”

About: I had a dog for 13 years, Buddy who recently passed away. I have always loved dogs and will provide the best possible care for your pup. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play/walk your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and most week days. I have a fenced yard with a big backyard for your dog to run, as well as the flexibility to also come to your house.

“After our brief meet and greet I felt comfortable leaving Bogart and Emmy with Alison because she seemed very genuine and capable of looking after my somewhat high maintenance dogs! When I got home the dogs were clearly well cared for and the house was very tidy…Alison obviously respected my home. She also followed my short novel of instructions to the letter. I would definitely trust Alison to look after my dogs again.”

About: Hi pup parents, I’m Tyrone. Dogs are one of my passions in life. I treasure the time I get to spend with animals of all kinds. I’m here to help make your pet family’s life a little easier. Whether that’s a long adventure walk through Stratford, a home visit, overnight care, helping with medication and feeding or boarding at my place. I’m happy to help make it work. Best Ty I’m a local artist in Stratford, I have a fully fenced back yard and a vehicle and am able to make most arrangements work for pet care based on your needs. I’m currently available 24/7 and over the holidays. I have a dog of my own, Pantufla, who is a 40lb lab mix rescue from Mexico who is super friendly with other dogs. We go for several long walks a day through town and I’m available to take your dog out with us, or for solo walks or home visits. I’m also happy to do overnights at your home or board up to two dogs with me at my house. My home is cat and child free, there’s lots of space to play in the backyard and good soft areas all around for cuddles and naps. I love working with dogs of all ages and happy to adjust to any medical needs your pup might have. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Dogs are beautiful creatures who respond best to loving positive care. I believe in following the example you set for me with your animal in terms of care, and I love getting to know each animal on their own terms too. Listening and patience are always needed. At my home your dog will be treated with love and affection and you can rest assured they’ll quickly become part of our family too, even for one night.

“Leigha was wonderful with all our babies. It gave me great piece of mind that there was someone staying at our house to be with the dogs and cats. Our dogs have always travelled with us so, it was very reassuring to have them stay in their own home and thrive under Leigha's care. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring individual to leave your family members with. She will be my first call when we go away again!!!”

About: I love animals especially dogs. I love dog walking and just hanging out with dogs they are so fun and cute. I have ample experience being around and caring for animals I work in the arts and currently have a few weeks off before I start my next job so looking to fill my time with some dog or cat sitting. I am very reliable and dependable. It’s preferable for me to walk or care for the animals in their home as it’s more familiar to them. I love to walk/play/cuddle dogs. I enjoy just being around them and playing with them.

“Brianna took care of our very energetic pup and cat while we were away for 5 days - which is the longest we’d ever left our dog before! She did a great job and we came home to a spotless home and very content pets! We had a bit of an “emergency” when our dog ate some Tylenol that he found, but Brianna contacted the vet for next steps and kept us informed the entire time. Would absolutely trust her again to take care of our fur family!”

About: Grew up surrounded by pets, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Passionate about walks, playtime, cuddles, and providing loving, reliable care every time I work in child care, so my availability is flexible. I’m free most weekdays, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a large, secure backyard. After recently losing my beloved dog Abbey, I provide a safe, loving, and nurturing space for pets. In February 2026 I welcomed my new baby golden doodle Lucy to my family🩷

“Thank you Brittany! I am able to go on my work trips with peace of mind. Hazel is well cared for and seems happy and content upon my return. Brittany is an excellent in house dog sitter & respectful of my home. I appreciate her!”

About: I have hands on experience training my two dogs Cora and Cooper both in obedience and in agility. This has allowed me to understand the importance of positive reinforcement and how to cater to individual dogs needs. In addition, I have professional dog sitting experience in a neighbors home, where I cared for and took them out for walks. This role has taught me how to approach and work with rescue dogs and adapt my care to different temperaments. I am attentive, patient and committed to providing excellent care and a safe environment for all pets. I currently work part time which allows flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week and weekend as well if needed. I am committed to ensuring that your pets receive reliable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I ensure that my dogs are fed and taken care of. I also love to take them out for walks and on car rides! As a dog owner I understand the importance of safety, maintaining routines, regular exercise and lots of attention. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.

“Our Boys always enjoy hosting Kayla, and her son, Declan, when he joins her. She’s punctual, obviously loves dogs, and communicates regularly before and during the engagement.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of pets my whole life as well as taking care of others. I have owned two dogs, 2 hamsters, a rabbit and many fish. I am very personable with each pet and make sure they are fully taken care of. In my experience I have walked, house sat and fed dogs based on their own needs and administer medicine . I am currently only working part time and am seeking a second job to create more income. I am very flexible and would love to help! I can easily take care of any animal depending on their needs. I am very comfortable with any behaviour, or anything they may need! :)

About: I’ve been around pets most of my life. All of my kids are grown and have pets that come for overnights. I’ve helped my neighbour when she dog sits for her sister. I have a foster dog staying with me that is healthy and fully vetted. I don’t have a pet of my own. Please feel free to reach out for availability as I work in Waterloo Tues and Wed and could do drop ins or walks on those days. I have some flexibility in my schedule and might be able to accommodate outside of what’s been indicated. I’m working FT but I’m only in the office Tues,Wed and work from home Mon, Thurs and Friday. I leave home at 8am and return about 5:30. I don’t have a fenced yard so your pet will be tied in my yard for quick bio breaks but we will take lots of walks. If I’m staying at your home, same thing. Of course, if there is already a routine in place, that will be followed the best that I can

“Alissa was amazing with my golden retriever. She looked after him for a week and communicated updates, photos and even got him a toy. She went above and beyond as my boy had some separation anxiety and loose stools, and she knew exactly how to care for him and let me know right away. She left the home very tidy. I would 100% trust her with my pet again.”

“This was our second booking with Amanda and everything was perfect again! She makes it so much easier to leave our fur babies knowing they are all safe and happy.”

“Walter helped me in a pinch, did a quick meet and greet and took very good care of Zuko and Asia for the evening. Highly recommend Walter if you want some peace knowing someone punctual and reliable is taking care of your fur babies!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.

About: I have had animals of all varieties my whole life. I've always been the primary care taker for my animals growing up, from birds, to lizards to dogs and more! I worked in the pet industry for several years and truly enjoy working with animals. I offer 1-on-1 walks and drop-in visits, especially for those times you’re stuck at work all day! I have experience with reactive, anxious, and high energy dogs and can ensure I provide them a safe walking experience to fit their needs. I have had cared for senior dogs and cats, as well as those with daily medications and special diets. If there are any requests for special accommodations just shoot me a message and we can chat more about how I can meet your pet care goals! I'm currently not working as I freshly graduated nursing school! Taking the summer off to study for my exam and looking to spend that time caring for clients and potentially continuing long-term if it’s a good fit! I currently only have one cat in the home who is friendly with dogs and other cats as she grew up around both. I have a fenced in yard and two story home with lots of space. If an animal has any special feeding needs I am able to feed them in separate spaces as needed.

“Excellent! Met my boy first and went over everything. He has separation anxiety so she was able to keep him calm (eventually lol. It’s just the breed) He stayed close to her and happy to see pics of him nearby. Was worried about the weather and possible cancellation but she came as promised. No issues.”
