“Iman was great with our golden retriever Cleo. She came by to meet with us before their first walk and Cleo liked her immediately and couldn’t get enough pets and tummy rubs. Great communication and trustworthy. We’d definitely use Iman again for future dog walks.”


About: I have grown up having cats and dogs, and neighbours have relied on me for watching their pets including dog walking, and pet sitting, playing with cats and dogs, as well as feeding and bathing the animals. I am available on Wednesdays anytime after 1pm, and anytime on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays every week. I am unfortunately unavailable on Sundays/Mondays/Tuesdays due to working full time. I am observant of the body language of the animals to ensure they are not anxious/uncomfortable and will remove them from situations, or distract them if needed. If there are questions I can't solve independently, I will reach out to the client as they know their pet best

“Meagan has been walking our dog Jake for about 2 months now. He's a german shepherd and quite strong but Meagan is great with him. He's always tired when he gets home from his walk. Meagan is always on time and we love seeing the pictures she sends from his walk!”


About: I’m bilingual, gentle, patient, and genuinely love animals. I grew up surrounded by huskies, and I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments with love. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of free time to focus on pet care. Your pet will get my full attention and flexibility I always treat a client’s home with care and respect. I follow all instructions closely and stick to the pet’s routine to make them feel safe and at ease. I keep things calm, clean, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being.

“Alyssa was amazing. Very punctual and she treated Monty like gold. She was very generous with her time and was an absolute pleasure to speak with. She really knows dogs which is such a help!!! Will definitely be using her all the time. Highly recommend. Thank you Alyssa!!!”


About: Although I do not have a furry friend of my own I am a dog lover who would love to get to spend some time with your pets. I got all of my experience through been helping out my neighbours and walking dogs since the age of 10. I’m currently in school part time for the summer so I have plenty of time to help out other pet parents care for their dogs. I do not own a dog of my own or have a backyard with fencing but I do have a car therefore I will be coming to you!

About: Dogs are my passion. There is nothing that makes me happier than petting (or snuggling) a dog. I have never lived without a constant K9 in my life. Having many family pets, two of my very own as an adult, fostering many dogs for over 6 years and being the go-to sitter for friends and family. These are just a few ways I get to fulfil my dog obsession. I have more than 10 years experience caring for dogs with allergies and dogs recovering from varies surgeries. I do not discriminate based on breed, age or most behaviours. I have two dogs of my own so my schedule wouldn’t change too much! Maybe some extra play and some separate walk times. I currently work from home for the majority of the time (2 days in the office). I have two friendly dogs of my own who love a good play session. We also have the space and tools to rotate or allow your dog space/ quiet time. We are well versed with crate training and happy to use a crate in our home if needed.

About: I love animals! I especially love my dog Theo. He's the cutest red tri Australian Shepherd and I trained him from puppyhood into an obedient and friendly adult dog. I would love to spend time with your dog on walks, home visits or even training sessions. I have availability during the week or weekends and will always keep my engagements. My calendar will always be up to date and I will confirm your appointments promptly. I have a big fenced yard and a 2 year old male dog that loves to play! Our home is small but safe for your pup.

About: When your dog stays with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re being cared for like one of my own. I create a calm, comfortable, and fun environment where your pup can relax, play, and stick to their daily routine. Every stay includes regular walks tailored to your dog’s energy level — whether that’s a casual stroll around the block or a more adventurous outing. I focus on quality one-on-one time, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection throughout the day. I have grown up around pets, primarily dogs, cats and fish. I love caring for them☺️ As a full-time online student, I have the flexibility and presence to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. My schedule allows me to adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, and cuddles as your pet needs! I love starting my mornings with a walk (even better with a four-legged companion by my side), and I’m home the rest of the day for meals, snuggles, and all the little routines that help pets feel secure and happy. Cooking is my daily creative outlet, and I’m always happy to whip up homemade treats — if your pup is allowed! When your dog stays with me, they’re not just a guest — they’re part of the family. My home is calm, cozy, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, playing, and relaxing. I keep things clean, safe, and stress-free, making sure your pup feels secure and at ease from the moment they arrive. I stick to your dog’s usual routine — from meal times and walk schedules to bedtime habits and favorite toys. Whether they’re social and energetic or shy and laid-back, I tailor their care to match their personality and needs. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy companionship, enrichment, and outdoor time (including walks and outdoor play). They’ll never be left alone — I’m fully present, offering snuggles, attention, and supervision. And yes, you’ll get plenty of photo updates to see how happy and loved they are while you’re away!

About: During my pet care sitting experience, I provided attentive care, ensuring each furry friend felt loved and comfortable in their temporary home away from home. From daily walks in the forest and trails to playful interactions, I made sure their needs were met with dedication, love and affection. With mine and my mom’s open availability, I can accommodate various schedules, providing flexible pet care services tailored to the needs of each furry companion. If I were offering pet care services in my own home, I would ensure a safe and comfortable environment, with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. Regular walks, interactive playtime, and cuddle sessions would be part of the routine, ensuring the pet feels loved and engaged. In a client's home, I would follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, and any specific needs of the pet. Communication with the client would be key to provide updates on the pet's well-being and any concerns that may arise.

About: I've taken care of pet's since 2011, it started when i had my own pet and took care of her until she passed, i bathed her, fed her, trimmed her nails, groomed her, brushed her teeth, took walks with her even travelled in the car with her.

Let me be the compassionate caregiver your furry friend deserves, providing a safe, loving, and enriching space for them to grow and flourish. As a dog mom, my days revolve around creating special moments with my furry friends.

For the pet parents who trust me with their beloved furry companions, I provide a safe and nurturing environment that mirrors the love and care their pets receive at home.

About: "I’ve owned dogs my entire life, and all of my siblings have dogs too, so I’m always looking after them. I’ve also regularly babysat dogs for my friends. I truly believe dogs are part of the family, and I treat them like little children. My dog cuddles with me and sleeps with me every night—showing just how much love I have for them!" I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I provide lots of love, attention, and care, and offer daily walks, playtime, and even basic medication if needed. I believe if humans were as kind as dogs, the world would be a much better place!" (Weekly boarding rates) message me for details😊😊 "I work from home full-time, so I’m always here to attend to the dogs, ensuring they never have to be alone. I take them for walks twice a day—once during lunch and again in the evening. I’m also available for overnight boarding at any time, providing constant care and attention to ensure they feel comfortable and loved." "I have a welcoming and pet-friendly home where my 5-year-old dog is a part of the family. I don't crate my dog, and he sleeps with me every night, so I’m happy to let other dogs sleep with me too if they need that extra comfort and human touch to feel relaxed and secure. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they’re all treated with love and attention. All the dogs in my care will go on walks together twice a day, once at lunch and again in the evening, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I understand that some dogs may feel more comfortable in a crate, and if that’s the case, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. My main goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment where your pet feels right at home."

Sofia K.
“Sofia has looked after my Bengal cat Yoshi a few times now, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Yoshi’s on a raw food diet and can be a bit particular, but she handled everything perfectly and followed all the instructions without any issues. I always come back to a happy cat. I’ve also seen her take care of my sister’s two big dogs, she’s just as great with them. Super calm, confident, and clearly loves animals. It’s not always easy to find someone you can really trust with your pets, but Sofia’s one of those people. I highly recommend her.”

“Sabrina is my go-to pet sitter whenever I leave town, one of the very few people I trust to care for my pup. My dog Nash loves to go stay with her and her two dogs, and I know he is always well taken care of. Sabrina has a wealth of knowledge and professional and personal experience in animal care, and has so much love and attention to give to your fur babies while you are away :)”

Genevieve L.
“I recently had Geneviève dog sit my newly rescued senior dog, Ace, overnight as I had to attend a wedding outside of town. Initially, I was hesitant, but seeing how well she cares for her own dog made me feel comfortable. She was patient and kind, and Ace ended up loving her. She was attentive to all his health issues and followed my instructions precisely. When I returned home, I found Ace content and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Geneviève if you’re seeking a trustworthy, attentive, dependable, and caring individual. I will certainly use her services again.”


Kevin S.

“Kevin has been very reliable. I don’t want to make a habit of it, but I have requested his services with somewhat little advance notice and he accepted the requests.”

Sabrina M.
“Sabrina is a kind, professional and trustworthy sitter if you find yourself needing one. A few months ago I found myself in a bind for a sitter when I was struck with a last-minute family emergency. I reached out in hopes that Sabrina might be able to help my last minute accommodation and thankfully she was able to help me out! My dog is not often left with a sitter so as one would naturally worry how the weekend would go while they are away, I was pleasantly suprised when I returned to my place well kept, my dog in the living room smiling, and a relief that things went better than I could have imagined. I could tell me dog was very comfortable with her, and she had great communication with me throughout the weekend. Due to my great experience I have since felt comfortable using Sabrina’s services for other needs like work trips, vacations, and so forth… and have had a consistently great experience!”


Paige K.
“Paige loves animal. She is caring and will always take your animal dog or cat as her own. She had a lovely 2 year old girl that since she is very small she was around dogs. If you need your pet to be taken care of , I would truly recommend her!”

Ronika M.
“Bonjour, Je suis amie avec Ronika depuis longtemps et cette femme ne cesse de m’impressionner. Sans blague, je dirais c’est un entraineur canin, sans certification, mais dans l’âme bien évidemment! Je suis impressionné par son chien qui ne connais pas seulement les commandes de bases, mais des trucs de fou. C’est certain qu’elle vous fera un petit spectacle si vous faite garder votre chien. Amoureuse des animaux depuis toujours, elle à une présence calme et rassurante avec eux. Elle les comprends, elle est patiente, elle renforce constamment les comportements positifs, elle fais des sortis à l’extérieur à chaque jour et j’en passe… À chaque fois, elle me donne pleins de conseils et stratégies pour que je sois en mesure de corriger ou améliorer certains comportements chez mon chien. Sans hésiter et surtout sans stress, je lui laisserais mon chien à n’importe quel moment. En plus, mon chien est tellement contente d’avoir une amie comme Maissy, elle est adorable!”


paula F.
“Paula was so thoughtful and considerate with our anxious little dog, always mindful of Benny's likes and needs. They went on numerous walks together, and I was grateful for the twice-daily check-ins. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my fur baby was well cared for!! Will totally book with Paula again.”


Alyshia L.
“Alyshia is just a amazingly friendly person who was on time, great with my pup and she even went in the pouring rain!!!! 5 stars will have her walk my pup again!”
