1. Mallery D.

“Mallery is lovely and great with our dog. She arrives on time and our dog is excited to see her. In one hour she takes him on a long walk( over 5 k) which we appreciate.”


2. Christine W.

“Christine was very responsive and came though for me and my dog on short notice even though she didn't have to. Thank you so much for taking great care of Ace! 🐾”


3. Chloe B.
“Chloë is very responsible and takes care of her own dog better than some people take care of their children. Not just physical wellbeing but making sure the dog is happy and healthy. The only issue you might have with letting Chloë care for your pet is that they may end up wanting to move in with her and Bella.”


4. Amanda L.
“Amanda L is a true real dog and cat whisper. She can tame even the worst of cats and dogs. No disappointments with her at all. She is truly the best.”


5. Devon W.

“Our Tikka dog had a great time! Devon/Jess showed up every day and braved the cold without issue while we were on vacation. We also added an extra day last-minute and they were super accommodating. Response time is always VERY quick and Tikka loved Jess from their first meeting! Super great dog walkers!”


6. Kelsey H.

“Kelsey is very reliable, communicates well, and is great with our dog!”


7. Kyla C.

“Our dog was happy to see Kyla and they had a fun walk.”


8. Vamika M.
“Vamika has responsibly taken care of my 4/5 year old husky mix (rescue) on multiple occasions. My dog can be difficult on walks (pulling and some leash reactivity) but Vamika has always done a great job and developed a great relationship with my dog. My dog is always excited to see her! Vamika has also dropped in while I was on vacation to check-in on my dog and she did so within the requested timeframes and provided updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her services.”


9. Leslie R.
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.


10. Natalie M.

“It’s always a little nerve-wracking getting someone new to walk your dog while you’re away, but I felt very at ease with Natalie. She was great with Joko and I am glad to recommend her.”


11. Ethan A.

“Ethan always goes above and beyond for our dog. Ethan takes great care of her and is very communicative! Would highly recommend.”


12. Felipe R.

“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.”


13. Rylie K.
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.


14. Linda M.
About: I have been in love with animals since I was a child. I had a childhood dog growing up and now have a dog back home. Currently, I’m in Thunder Bay for school and would love to brighten up another dogs life while I’m here. From my experience with dogs, I realize that every pet deserves love and happiness, no matter what the circumstances. During the summers, I work at a doggy day care and aid all types of dogs. From little to small, I love them all. I love going on walks and it's even better with company such as your dog. I am very reliable and responsible making it a safe and easy choice for you to choose me as your dog sitter. I am available almost anytime of day and will try my hardest to be there for you and your dog as much as possible. Since I am away from home for school, I have lots of spare time that can come in handy when caring for your pet. I am available during the week in the mornings and afternoons, and often weekends the whole day. I have a big backyard and am in walking distance to dog parks and fields. I am here to make your pet feel welcomed and loved while you're away and will do my best to ease any stress you may have.


15. Jason G.
“Jason is fantastic with my Lurcher, Cruiz. He is always punctual and my little one loves him. He always takes the time to make sure Cruiz gets a good amount of exercise. Cruiz loves all the extra attention and is always waiting at the window excited when Jason arrives!”


16. Ainsley C.
“Ainsley took care of my two cats and dog for a month last year and was amazing! She drops in now once a week to take the dog for a walk and to let him out to do his business! She was prompt, replied to all of my messages, sent me pictures of my fur babies, and most of all, she gave them tons of love!”
