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 :)

Thank you Christine for taking my dog out today for a walk and putting up with his escape artist move. Sounds like he tested you and you both won!

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!

I also competed in agility with my dogs for 4 years and have excellent training experience. I'm currently in school full-time but have many breaks in between classes throughout the day, so I have plenty of time to visit with your pets!

Awesome dog walker! Very friendly and gently with your dog. My dog is a handful and she took the challenge with no problems at all. You can tell she had experience with animals, and is very accommodating to your specific animals needs. She is very through, went over the details to make sure everything was covered and understood. I'll be booking more walks with her in the future! Thanks Abbigayle!

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.

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.

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.

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 still walk my dogs as much as I can. I also have a huge travelling bug , I want to travel the world so badly.
