About: I have had a dog for most of my life and have always been an animal lover. I have experience with dog sitting for family friends and i always ensure they are well cared for and loved in their owners’ absence. Growing up, I spent a lot of time at the Thunder Bay Humane Society, where I developed a deep love and understanding of animals. My approach to pet sitting is to treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I am currently working part time and I am a university student. I have weekends free and most week nights so I have lots of time to play with pups! I provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I have a fenced in yard and one very friendly dog.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—the kind where you smile just seeing one walk by. Over the years, I’ve cared for both spirited puppies and mellow senior dogs, and I’ve loved every stage in between. My parents brought home a beagle three years ago, and from teething to training, I’ve been part of his puppy journey ever since. More recently, I’ve helped care for my boss’s 11-year-old dog, Iggy, which gave me insight into the gentler pace and extra care older pups sometimes need. What makes me different? I approach every dog with curiosity—no two are the same, and I love figuring out what makes each tail wag. I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy long walks, cuddle breaks, and the little routines that make dogs feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt with heart and care. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility during the day to focus on pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so whether it’s weekday walks, playtime breaks, or weekend visits, I’m available and ready. My weekends are completely free, so longer stays or extra attention when you’re away is no problem at all. I care for pets where they’re happiest—right at home. Whether it’s walks, visits, or overnight stays, I keep things calm, familiar, and full of love. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect your space, and give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Safe, stress-free, and always reliable.

About: I have had a family dog all my life and have ample experience taking care of pets. Recently I got into pet sitting for 3 different people regularly in Thunder Bay, and have spent up to 2 weeks full time sitting for 3 pets (2 large dogs and 1 cat). I will send you photos and updates of your pets as much as you desire! I love going on hikes with dogs and spending time playing and learning with them. I genuinely adore pets and love taking care of them. I am currently an Occasional Teacher for TBCDSB at the moment, so my work hours are fairly flexible and accommodating for caring for your furry friends. Most schools days start around 8am and end around 3pm, with a lunch break that I can use to let pets out if needed during the day. I live in shared housing, therefore boarding is not an option for me, however, I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes anyways. I really genuinely could spend all my time with dogs, so I promise you your dog(s) will get all the love and spoiling they deserve. I have lots of walking trails around my house, but also can walk wherever is accessible and don’t mind driving with or to your dog(s). I strive to keep pets schedules as familiar as possible and provide them with lots of exercise and love.

“Felipe was absolutely amazing. He met me and my dog Esker the day before the scheduled booking and I coule immediately tell he was great with dogs. It was a pretty short notice booking and he really helped me out. He came by while I was out of town and spent time playing with Esker and walking him. He gave me some nice photos from their hangout and a really detailed update. I will 100% be hiring him again in the future. Thanks again Felipe!”
About: I pride myself on being punctual, clean & trustworthy! I have experience with all kinds of animals including livestock. From chihuahuas to Great Danes and puppies to seniors I’ve had a great deal of experience with them all. I am comfortable to continue training if provided instructions and give medications to pets who may need it! I own my own business and make my own hours so I can adjust as need be! I am happy to do early mornings or late nights. I love to get to know pets and their routine so I am able to make things as smooth as possible while the pet owner is away. I am meticulous with double checking doors, gates & latches and any other possible escape route.

Namratha Bensha P.
“I have a little dachshund who’s incredibly particular when it comes to peopl.. he doesn’t warm up easily, and trust me, he lets you know when he’s not impressed. So imagine my surprise when, after just two days with Namratha, he didn’t want to leave her side. It was honestly the sweetest thing Namratha has taken care of my dog on several occasions now, and every time she’s been absolutely wonderful. She’s so gentle and affectionate with him — always up for a cuddle and I can tell she truly adores dogs. It’s not just a job for her, it comes from the heart. She’s also very reliable and communicative which is such a comfort when you’re leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care😄 She checks in, sends updates, and I never have to worry. She's become my go-to sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Namratha is your girl. I can’t recommend her enough. Blessings to her always! Thank you Namratha good luck for the future.”

Whether it’s daily walks, a weekend away, or a longer vacation, she always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. She sends regular updates with texts and photos, which gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Ruby and Opie adore her, and we always come home to calm, happy dogs—and a spotless house. Jenna is incredibly reliable, kind, and truly treats our dogs like they’re her own. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
