Dog Sitting in Toronto

About: I am honoured to have been trusted with the care and custodianship of cherished pets, furry, scaly, and slimey, since I was a young child, which has given me invaluable experience and skill. Whether you need occasional help with walks, feeding, or sitting while you are away, I'm your gal! I've also got lots of exotic pet experience (I have three bunnies myself, and many aquaria) as well as experience caring for diverse houseplants and gardens. I pride myself in meeting the needs of even the most specialized critters, big or small, and look forward to providing the best experience for your pets, especially those that need a little extra love. I will make my schedule work with yours and look forward to talking soon! I am a mechanical engineering student, so my schedule is very flexible. I walk, cycle, and TTC, so no need for parking! I love having the opportunity to integrate furry friends into my routine. I am a seasoned carer for my three buns (dusty, soup, and drosophila), gerbils (miso), leopard gecko (artemis), and have had many hamsters. I maintain several freshwater aquaria with my partner, and have TONS of plants. I will follow your specifications and requests to a tee, and can be contacted on my cell whenever you need. I am also seasoned in housekeeping, should that be a plus!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I have over 5 years of pet care experience, including raising my own beagle for the past 4 years before moving to Toronto. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. Since moving to Toronto, I’ve continued caring for pets in both Toronto and Montreal, helping owners with reliable sitting, walks, and companionship while they’re away. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when it comes to pet care, and I always treat every pet like family. - 5+ years caring for dogs and cats - Experience with puppies, seniors, and different breeds - work from home and can give your pet all my attention - Daily photo updates - Close to parks and walking routes - Active on both Rover and Pawshake Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I also enjoy spending quiet time with animals, so providing attentive and reliable care is something I genuinely look forward to each week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment by moving at their pace, especially with cats, who often need patience and calm energy to warm up. I keep the home clean and respected at all times, especially around feeding areas and litter boxes, and I’m attentive to details like fresh water, tidy spaces, and making sure doors and windows are secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.

“Prerna went above and beyond to care for our cat, Andrew! She followed instructions perfectly, left detailed notes after each visit, and was incredibly responsive, which gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible and accommodating when we needed an extra visit. The updates and photos showed how happy and comfortable Andrew was, and we returned to a relaxed, content cat. Highly recommend Prerna for reliable and loving pet care. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: I've cared for pets belonging to friends and family for years, and I'm also a proud cat mom! I've been a dog mom since I was a kid, so animals have always been a big part of my life. My love for pets runs deep, and I’m passionate about making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and most of all—happy. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or quiet company, I focus on what each pet needs to feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I have time for walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one attention. There are plenty of parks and green spaces nearby, so dogs get to enjoy fun, safe outings and fresh air. Whether it's a quick check-in, a cuddle break, or an afternoon stroll, I love making pet care a regular part of my day. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a calm, stress-free environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, and rest—to maintain consistency and reduce anxiety. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I keep owners updated regularly with photos and messages to build trust. If caring for pets in my home, I ensure a clean, secure, and welcoming space with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I separate pets as needed for their safety and comfort and provide constant supervision to prevent any accidents. My home is fully pet-proofed, with access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, and toys to keep pets engaged and happy. Above all, I treat every pet like family—respecting their individual personalities and ensuring they feel loved and secure.

About: Hi! I am a dog lover with a very flexible schedule and a lifetime of experience caring for energetic Border Collies. From leisurely strolls to off-leash adventures, I'm happy to cater our walks to your pets needs.

About: I have experience in taking care of my pets as well as neighbors and friends animals. I have some training experience from teaching my animals and learned some skills that help me when walking my pets. I love meeting all kinds of animals and spending time with them. I have a pretty open schedule that allows me to be available multiple times a week and through out the day. I would only require a days warning in advance just to be sure if I am able to check in. I am aware of how some animals are shyer than others and require more attention than others so I am able to provide them the time they need. I also understand how some families have different rules when it comes to their animals and I am able to accommodate according to their requests.

About: I’m a dog parent myself and she’s a beautiful yellow lab whom I love so much and adore playing with her. Since my college days, my friends n family have entrusted me to care for their furry companions, handling everything from walking to feeding, playing and bathing.

About: I live with and care for two reactive (but mostly beautiful and intelligent) village dogs in Midtown Toronto. I have daily experience and a deep understanding of their needs for appropriate space from triggers, positive reinforcement exercises, and decompression activities. To successfully manage their needs, I've gained a strong knowledge of canine communication, arousal and stress levels, and appropriate environmental settings. I have first hand experience taking a puppy from street to house - fully potty and house trained, and able to calmly interact with people and dogs all with only positive reinforcement. If you're looking for someone who can take care of your reactive or high needs dog, or someone who will take your dogs needs seriously, I'm here for you! As a freelance musician who works evenings, I usually have time for your dog on most weekdays through the 9-5 workday, and during the day on most weekends. I can ensure that I'll care for your dog with the same standards that I care for mine: positive reinforcement only, no pulling on their leash, no off-leash walks unless in a safe and fully fenced environment, no on-leash interactions with other dogs (or people if preferred/needed), appropriate and responsible canine socialization (needs dependant), and my complete and undivided attention and care.

I give love, attention, follow routines, and send updates and video calls.

About: I grew up my whole life with big dogs. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I decided to foster my own! My pup ended up growing up to be bigger than I would have imagined. This taught me how to manage strong dogs, keep them entertained and of course love and cared for. I was previously fostering a dog, and she had two knee surgeries and I am well equipped to handle a dog recovering from surgery or illness. I also love going for walks! Would love to help you out and get exercise with your furry friends I work in education, so I have the time from June- September to take your pets on walks and come cuddle them, let them out and check in if you have a busy day or need an extra hand. My availability changes in September, however I provide pet care services all year long to meet your needs. I am happy to emerge myself in your home to visit, as well as take dog for walk. I am adaptable and understand that pets do best when they feel comfortable, in a good routine and there is consistency across walkers and owner.
