About: I've been a dog owner of Labradors for the past 30 years, until recently. A few months ago I said goodbye to my boy Fletcher, and life is just not the same without a dog. I am a fairly active 52 year old who lives alone, and quietly, with a fenced yard and Vickers Park nearby. I go to my family's camp in the summer, and would like to be able to take your dog with me for a good swim and hike! My house has always been a dog house. I do love to travel, so I know what it's like to have someone care for your dogs while away, and the worries and trust that go with such a responsibility. Someday I will get another dog, but until then, I would love to welcome yours into a safe, calm, environment, with lots of love, fun and outside time. I am currently free and flexible to adapt to your dog's schedule. I am the only one in the house so I am able to be present for your dog and hang out with him or her as much as they'll let me! I have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly 2 bedroom bungalow. One room is a spare so can be used to put crates or beds if dogs are nervous or want alone time. I will never kick a dog off my bed if they are willing to keep me company!

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 love spending time with animals and have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I’m gentle, attentive, and always treat pets as if they were my own. I can help with walks, feeding, and keeping them company.❤️ I have plenty of free time and can dedicate as much attention as needed. I’m flexible with visits, walks, and playtime, making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. ensure a safe and comfortable environment at all times, whether in my home or the client’s. I supervise pets closely, provide plenty of attention, and maintain a clean, calm space so they feel secure and loved.

About: I’m an animal lover who has spent years caring for pets! Over the years, I have gained experience through house, dog, and cat sitting for my family and friends. These experiences have made me more comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and various care needs. I love getting outside and going for long walks which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I am just as suited for calmer pets who prefer quiet company! I treat each pet with genuine care to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are away from their owners. I am currently a Master’s student with a super flexible schedule! Since my coursework and research hours aren’t fixed, I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, or pet-setting. I spend most of my time working from home which gives me the freedom to check in on pets, take them for long walks, or stay overnight whenever needed. To foster a safe, trusted environment, I focus on keeping routines as familiar as possible for your pets. I follow owner’s instructions clearly (e .g., feeding schedules, walk times, medications) and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.

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.

“Jodi was so great to have as a pet sitter, and made me feel very at ease while being away. I would receive daily, detailed reports on the entire visit and multiple pictures of them which helped immensely with missing them. She was also very kind to deal with and enthusiastic about all requests made in regards to tasks and upkeep during visits.”

About: Hello. My name is Amanda 🫶 I am 38 years old 😬 I consider myself a pet magnet. People call me the animal whisperer. Never mind, the time I got ducks talking to me 🤭 I’ve even had an emu follow me around and take selfies with me 😅 I’ve been working as a groomer and pet care taker for 18 years now. 18 years in grooming and 30 years caring for pets 🐾 I have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. My main option on here is pet sitting but I also do walking. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for two years, and have many certifications including Animal Sciences 👩‍🎓 I work at my own home based grooming salon and doggy day care 💈✂️🧼 I often care for pets belonging to family and friends. I have a fenced in backyard that your pet will enjoy. I spend a lot of time outside, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time ☀️🐕‍🦺 I have a pet friendly bed and vehicle too! 🚘 I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet, whether it’s a dog, cat or small critter 🐰🐹🦔 I wake up cuddling animals and go to sleep cuddling animals. I also enjoy the outdoors so they will get plenty of fun and exercise. Tug of war or ball are what I live for. Shaking a feather around to see your kitty go crazy makes me laugh. Replenishing food and water. Tidy ups.

About: am a true animal lover from the bottom of my heart. I would meet so many people in the neighbourhood because I would always ask to pet and visit their animals. Starting when I was about 12, I would ride my bike to people’s homes to feed, empty litter boxes and of course show so much love to their pets; even with a slight allergy I couldn’t resist! As I became a teenager, I was commonly asked to stay at the homes belonging to my parents friends and my own coworkers because they knew I was trustworthy, so loving and would care deeply for their animals. I am a pet parent myself and know the importance of being able to trust those coming into your home and care for your beloved animals. I can absolutely guarantee I will show your pets so much love, and respect your home so you are able to have absolute peace of mind while you are away. I also have no issue caring for senior dogs or puppies, I am patient and wholeheartedly only want them to know love. I am currently a shift worker, so although my availability changes, there are only 2 days out of every week that I am not available unless it’s after 7pm. I work in a central location so I can drive to really any area throughout the city. I do not have children so I’m very flexible with times that I am needed as well as short notice requirements I will respect anything that is brought to my attention by my clients; whether it’s dietary restrictions, training habits to uphold, cleanliness, usage of gates, and anything else that is required of me to guarantee their trust

About: I have had experience with my grandparents dogs and a family friends pet. I have also taken dogs on many a walk before and know the dance to walking and caring for dogs. I am currently home full time and can give the care and attention that your pet needs. I feed my own two cats every morning and then the evening, with treats in between. I have two cats at home and we feed them in the morning and at night, if needed I can accommodate your pets preferred feeding schedule in my care and ensure they only eat what you'd prefer them to.

“Madison did an amazing job at taking care of my bratty buddy ✨ super friendly, very kind and obviously loves animals. Thank you sooo much for watching my doggy boy while I was away. If you’re looking for a great pet sitter Madison is the way to go!”

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, basically since day one. I’ve cared for family and friends’ dogs, cats, and small animals of all types and ages! I am currently a student working part-time, and I spend most of my time at home with my own cat. My balance of school and work has left me with a little spare time on my hands, which is of course devoted to my kitty for now! Experience with both pet sitting and babysitting has given me experience with caring for a live dependent in someone else’s home. I am flexible to heed any instruction and preferences that the owner has, whether watching the pet in their home or my own.

About: Growing up, I had five dogs, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From playful puppies to calm older dogs, I’ve experienced the joy, responsibility, and love that comes with having pets around every day. Before moving from Nigeria to Canada as an international student, I also had a dog that I miss so much. I still video call my pets back home sometimes, which is honestly funny but also shows just how attached I am to animals. Being around pets genuinely makes me happy. I love going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, talking to them like they’re tiny humans, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m very patient, affectionate, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and quiet, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I genuinely bond with them. I know pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m available Monday to Friday from 5:30pm to 9pm, Saturdays from 11am to 6pm, and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. These hours work well with my student life, and I’m very organized, so I always make sure I show up on time and give pets proper attention, care, and consistency. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe pets feel safest in their own space and familiar routine. I follow all instructions exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behavior so I can respond quickly if anything feels off. I also keep the home clean, secure, and calm while I’m there. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and safe at all times, while giving owners full peace of mind knowing their pet is in caring and responsible hands.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds/personalities of dogs since I was young. I have also been training my own puppy over the last 7 months as well. I am currently working days until 4pm, and am available to sit/walk dogs in the evenings after work. Would be open to morning walks before 8am as well I provide caring and attentive pet care, making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable. I’m patient and compassionate, and I pay close attention to each pets unique needs/routines. You can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, and responsive, treating your pet like my own.

“We booked Steph for drop in kitty care visits while we were away over Christmas. We could not have asked for a better cat sitter!! Steph stayed with our kitty for longer than the 30 minutes daily that we paid for. She sent updates and pictures daily. Litter was scooped, cat was fed, treats and cuddles were given. Steph went out of her way to clean up litter that our cat had kicked all over the floor - she vacuumed and our house looked cleaner when we returned than when we left! I am so happy to have found a cat sitter in the city I can trust. I will be rebooking with Steph.”
