“Amanda was an awesome dog sitter! Tank is always excited to stay with her, she takes photos and keeps you updated on everything. Highly recommend.”


“Cathy was wonderful with our almost-16 year old Dachshund, Charlie. He felt right at home as soon as we arrived and we could tell that he would be relaxed and happy all day. We appreciated how flexible Tom and Cathy were, as we had no idea how long the day's events would last. Staying in touch was a breeze and Cathy answered all messages promptly. She sent many photos and a cute video throughout the day to ease our minds. It was very apparent that Cathy was experienced and patient with dogs. We would highly recommend her services to others.”


About: I’ve been around animals most of my life — growing up with dogs and cats, rescuing strays, and helping them find homes. I’ve worked as a dog sitter for small and medium breeds, and I’m also comfortable with calm large dogs like Labradors. I’ve cared for a variety of dogs including French Bulldogs, Huskies, Dachshunds, mixed breeds, etc. While living in New York, I volunteered at Muddy Paws Rescue and photographed adoptable pets. Now based in Thunder Bay, I work remotely and spend a lot of time at home — so your pet will get real one-on-one care, calm attention, and as many walks as they need. And if your dog’s the active type, I’m always up for a run. I work remotely with a flexible routine and spend a lot of time at home. That means your dog or cat won’t be alone for long and will get attention, walks, and quiet companionship woven into my day. I only host one dog at a time for calm, focused care. I live in an apartment right next to Port Arthur Landing — a beautiful lakeside spot that’s perfect for peaceful walks in the morning and evening. I’m happy to follow your routine, and I’ve used special safety harnesses in the past if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first — and if you’d like, I can send you a few sweet photos during their stay or walk.

About: Throughout the years I've shared times with pups ranging from eager little rascals to seasoned retirees. Growing up with dogs, fostering and casual dog sitting have created many memories scattered with wet noses and muddy paw prints. I'm an active individual ready to accommodate various needs. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week and for walks early morning, evening and select afternoons. I have a big yard to play in and a lot of love to share. We have a country property with quiet roads to explore.

“She was so good with my shy dog! We will be booking again!”

“Steph and her boys were amazing! She asked all the right questions to make me feel comfortable that my girl would be taken care of and sent videos and photos through the day so I knew things were going well. I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day thanks to Steph, Bert & Ernie 😊”


“Kunika has been excellent with my small breed dog. She was in constant communication and also provided confidence by sending pictures of the walks and meals. I would definitely recommend Kunika as a sitter in the future! Leo was with her for almost 12 hours and she was able to handle him with lots of care!”

“Elizaveta is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy. During our time away Elizaveta sent us photos of our babies having fun which was really nice 🙂 Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!”


4. Launi W.
“Launi has been an animal lover since a very young age. No matter the size, age or type, she loves them all with her whole heart. You can always count on your animal to be in the best care and have the most fun when Launi is watching them. She is the best aunty to our 2 dogs at home. As soon as her car pulls in the driveway, the boys are running to the front door with toys to greet her. They are so excited to see her knowing that it is endless play time now. Launi is also great at teaching them lessons and learning new tricks. If you would like your pets to have the time of their lives, I would highly recommend Launi! Whether it is for a short or long time she with love them endlessly!”
