Dog Sitting Thorold

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Both big and small dogs. I've always loved dogs and look forward to meeting and supporting more. I work full-time Monday through Friday. I am off at 4pm. And if I can be of any assistance to anyone who works weekday afternoons/evenings/weekends or just needs some extra help with pet care, that's awesome. I know what it's like to feel guilty leaving the house for work/going out or having an emergency that leaves your pets home for extended hours. Pets are not just pets. They are family! And if I can bring owners some peace of mind knowing their dog was let outside to go to the bathroom and checked in on, that's amazing. I will strive to accomplish what needs to be accomplished efficiently, whether that's letting your pet out to use the bathroom, make sure their food and water dishes replenished and get some pets and a little bit of play in. If it's a walk your dog needs, I'm your girl. I love going for walks in general and have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm also on a weight loss journey so talking your pet out for a stroll is great for both of us!

About: I’ve had my own cocker for 10 years and my family have always had pets in their home. We are animal lovers and my children love dogs. Your dog will be treated like family and I very much look forward to giving you the peace of mind that your pet is in good hands with us here. Welcome to Scallywags Sitter Services! I hope you find what you need here! We will get out for a morning walk before it gets too hot and then have the yard for plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in yard all the way around my home so they will get great exercise with our dog. Any friends we’ve had stay with us, have loved being able to do zoomies around the house.

“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: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

About: Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve always connected easily with dogs and am comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable. I genuinely enjoy walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of focused attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. My schedule is flexible, so I can welcome walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy getting to know dogs and their routines, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your dog’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely for walks, feeding, routines, and home access. Dogs will stay securely leashed outdoors, and I’ll pay close attention to their body language and surroundings. I’ll communicate with you immediately if anything unexpected occurs.

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!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 5. Friends & family and even neighbours have always relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I am also specialized in training puppies and cats. I am currently only working evening shifts so I am here for all your daily morning to afternoon needs. Whether that be walking your dog or a quick potty break and play. I can easily care for your loved pets with what you provide for me. I also have portable crates, toys and anything else that maybe be needed of my own such as leashes, collars, etc.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and needs. I also have personal experience with anxious dogs because of my own dog. I’m currently in undergrad with the goal of going to veterinary school in the future, so caring for animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m attentive and want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. This is my second Rover account, as I previously deleted my old account, because of that, I don’t currently have reviews on this profile, but i’d be happy to provide references from past clients if you’d like! I’m available basically eveeyday of the week as I currently don’t have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life (grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters and a bunny) and learned early on how to care for their unique personalities and needs. Today, I have 4 cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, litter care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I adore cats very much! I grew up caring for a small havanese dog and now I help my parents with their large standard poodle. I’m best suited to caring for well-socialized dogs with stable temperaments. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they were apart of my own family! My goal is to ensure they stay happy and healthy while you're away. I am self employed so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. It’s easy for me to prioritize caring for your pet while working! I’m doing this because I am truly passionate about animals. I understand the home is a sanctuary for both you and your pets. I prioritize safety, cleanliness and giving your pet the attention it deserves while I’m visiting. I know that every house has different rules their pets abide by and I will uphold those. I love to play and get them active as much as I can but I also adore snuggling up on the couch!

“Nicole is the BEST, I will 100% use her again. Very communicative, she sends lots of photos & videos. She also has the sweetest personality that’s why I picked her! Thank you Nicole :):)”

About: I am actively working as a veterinary assistant trained as a vet tech for the past 7 years. I previously worked in a pet rehabilitation facility where we helped pets recover from major surgery. I also completed a professional dog trainer certification through Canine Academy in Milton. I use a positive-reinforcement, reward based gentle approach for pet care and handling. Last year, I attended a workshop to learn low stress patient protocols for veterinary professionals and am fear free certified. I’ve even taught my dog to give consent for nail trims and trim his nails successfully every 2 weeks. I also have previously worked as a dog walker and daycare attendant. Recently I started offering in home nail trims for pets and would love to extend that support to drop in visits, pet sitting & medication/injection administration. I can monitor pets with medical needs closely and want to provide relief to pet parents who need support in any way. I’m here for you and your fur family and will accommodate each pets individual needs 💛 I work 4 days a week, evenings/weekends and Wednesdays I am off. While I am at work I have an hour break and can use that for drop in visits/let outs. I am a very detail oriented, clean person and will respect the space I am providing service in. I will clean up after your pets as I do with mine alike.

About: With over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ve raised my own dog from a puppy and have looked after many pets for friends and family—ranging from playful pups to senior cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, medication, and more. Whether your pet needs energy, patience, or extra cuddles, I treat them like my own. I currently work part time and with the winter approaching I will have lots of time off since my busy season is throughout the summer!

About: Hi there! I have over five years of full-time experience working with animals of all kinds, and a lifetime of caring for my own pets. My background includes hands-on work at horse barns and caring for a wide variety of species—including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small animals, and even exotic pets. I’m deeply passionate about animal care and committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriched environment for every animal I work with. I understand that each pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family—with patience, compassion, and expert attention. I’m also the proud pet parent of Athena, my 3-year-old Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. She’s my loyal adventure buddy and comes with me everywhere I can take her—whether we’re camping, hiking, shopping, or discovering new places. She’s friendly, active, and well-socialized, and she brings so much joy to our daily routines. Athena helps keep life exciting, and she reminds me every day just how special the bond between human and animal can be. I work full-time during the week but I am available to provide pet care services in the evenings and on my days off. If given a month’s notice I can arrange my work schedule to accommodate you and your furry friends. This flexibility allows me to assist busy pet parents who need reliable, loving care outside of typical work hours. Whether it’s evening dog walks, overnight sitting, or visits, I’m committed to being there for your pets when you need me most. You can count on me to offer consistent, attentive care tailored to your pet’s schedule and needs. In my home, I provide a loving and safe environment where my pets feel comfortable and secure. I prioritize their well-being by offering regular meals, plenty of cuddles, and engaging enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. Creating a peaceful, nurturing space is my top priority and your animals would be treated as if they were my own.

About: I am an animal lover, through and through. I’ve had various pets over the years and am knowledgeable in a lot of areas, most specifically dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of them since I was 10! No matter their size, temperament, or preferences, I love to accommodate and love to give my attention fully. Your furry friend deserves it! 🐾 I am recent graduate with few commitments and lots of time to check on your furry friends. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with cats very much, and I am able to accommodate most schedule requests ! I am very responsible when it comes to playtime and feeding time; I’ll make sure your companion gets loved and cared for and a full belly!

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and raised my own dog, so I understand routines, behavior, and how to build trust. I’m especially patient with reactive or more sensitive dogs and take a calm, consistent approach that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, with reliable daytime availability as I work remotely through the week. I’m happy to adjust my hours to fit your dogs care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I take a calm, attentive approach and always follow routines and care instructions closely. I’m respectful of your home, mindful on walks, and keep you updated with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

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!!)

“Anna was a great pet sitter. She checked in on 2 cats for a week, making sure they had food, cleaned their litter and sent us excellent updates throughout the week. Even responding long after the check was done because I missed her original messages. Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
