“I love reading Zola’s pupdates after walking Revy! She really seems to connect with him, he’s such an interesting and quirky pup and he absolutely adores her :)”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young, dog sitting/walking and cat sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I have valuable volunteer experience with the local shelter walking puppies and dogs of all different kinds at meet and greets. I also competed in agility with my dogs for 4 years and have excellent training experience. I work out of town Monday-Friday but I am available during the weekends (Fri afternoon, Saturday, Sunday) for pet sitting or walking! Thank you! Ally I have plenty of experience working with different kinds of animals and take a loving, cautious approach to ensure the safety and happiness of your pets.
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’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.
“The dogs took to Madison right away and came back happy and tired from their long walk! Madison was available last minute which really helped me as I was stuck without time to take them.”

About: Hello, my name is Nicole, I recently graduated with a business degree, I grew up with 3 different dogs. I love running, I am very interpersonal. I find myself to be a genuine person. I am great with animals, I have trained my dogs in the past. Except for the one I grew up with because we got him when I was 1. I like to spend free time either doing crosswords or reading a book maybe watching a movie. Right now I work full time but I would like to work my way around it with this opportunity. I still walk my dogs as much as I can. I also have a huge travelling bug , I want to travel the world so badly.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and started taking care of them when I was 10. I’ve had dogs, cats, and kittens. I’m quite active and love going on runs and walks with dogs! I work week on week off nights, so on my weeks off, I have the whole day free to take care of your pets! I love going on adventures with pets. I would care for your pets like they’re my own, giving them the proper food and water, giving them tons of attention, making sure they get their cuddles and walks.
About: I have always had a dog growing up. I got my first dog of my own in 2019 as a rescue and since have adopted a second dog as a rescue as well. I have great joy in helping dogs with a challenging past overcome their obstacles and open up to the world again. I have experience with older dogs that require medication, younger high energy dogs that need more mental stimulus and puppies that require constant redirection and training. I love all dogs. I have a calm approach with dogs which generally makes them quick to accept me and want to be around me even those that tend to be more timid. I currently work at the hospital and I’m in school at Lakehead for nursing. My schedule can be a bit chaotic at times but generally Sunday through Wednesday I have gaps in my day that allow for me to help out. I have a large yard, it is not fenced but dogs with good recall can run around and others I use a long lead so they can enjoy the yard while still being within control.
“We were impressed with Filipe. Our dog Pax, who is usually nervous with strangers, took to Felipe and his parents like they were 'old friends'. Felipe took him for his walk which was the highlight of Pax's day. We will be very comfortable leaving Pax in his hands.”

“Tess is amazing with my dog! She is very friendly and took care of her very well. She sent me photos so that I was updated and could see how much fun they were having. Tess was on time for walks and also took very good care of her when I was out of town for a weekend. I would recommend Tess 100%! I will continue to trust her with my dog!”

I had a wonderful experience with our dog walker, Madison. She was reliable, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. From the start, she made me feel completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Madison was always punctual and kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
