Dog Sitting Vaughan

About: Self proclaimed champion of ear scratches and belly rubs. I have many years of experience with various dog breeds, ages, sizes, fostering, high and low energy pups, administering oral medications. My partner and I can take care of your pup as long as they can be left alone 2-4hrs as my schedule and his may not overlap perfectly depending on the day. Dogs with separation anxiety may not be a good fit, but we are happy to chat to see if our schedule works out so we can accommodate. I am very active, so I love going on long walks, hikes, runs and off leash parks (if you agree to that). The safety of your pup and their overall enjoyment is my priority. I would love to do a quick meet and greet to learn more about your pup, your schedule, and how to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I love to send daily photo/video “pupdates” and to let you know what we are up to while you are away. I wake up around 7/8am, I can guarantee a minimum of 3walks a day. I am usually home, with the exception of running errands or the odd get together with friends. If there are times outside my availability, feel free to ask. I try to update the calendar, but I can also make exceptions and be a bit more flexible. My unit is a 1 bedroom 1200sq ft mid-rise apartment, our condominium has a private fenced-in yard amenity. Lots of dog parks and walking paths in the area (University and Dundas).

“Haley was great with Abby while we were on vacation! She followed all instructions taking great care of her, and giving her a lot of love. I’ll definitely rebook Haley in the future :)”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attentiveness I bring to every pet. I treat animals like family and tailor my approach based on their personality, age, and specific needs. I’m comfortable caring for young puppies who need consistency, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets who require patience, medication reminders, slower walks, and extra comfort. I prioritize safety, communication, and routine so your pet feels secure and you feel at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my day without rushing. I plan my time around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention and supervision. Please note: A $10 late fee will be applied if arrival is more than 10 minutes past the scheduled time, with an additional $10 charged for every additional 10-minute increment. I provide safe, structured care in my home or yours, following routines closely, reinforcing training for puppies, supporting seniors, and ensuring consistent updates and attention.

“She really went above and beyond to care for my cat and check up on her while I was gone for 10 days on vacation! She really helped the experience to be stress-free and was a great companion for my cat. Highly Recommend!”

“Sophia is such a dedicated and responsible sitter—I actually want to give her a 10 out of 5! She did a pre-drop-in visit and patiently listened to all my concerns as a first-time Rover user worried about leaving my two babies home alone. My dog, Chance, is an almost 90lb Labrador who is wary of strangers, but Sophia was incredibly capable of building trust with him. She even brought toys from her own home to play with him! She also bonded with my cat, Cathy, very well. Sophia sent numerous photos and videos during her visits and even insisted on walking Chance despite the cold weather. She is truly passionate about animals and very observant. For example, she noticed Cathy had moved her cat bed and asked if she should put it back. She even picked up a delivery for us that arrived earlier than expected! It was a pleasure working with Sophia. Chance and Cathy like her a lot, and I cannot wait to have her watch them again during my next trip.”

About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.

About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.

About: I've had dogs off and on since I was a kid. I walk and watch my friends dogs when needed. I'm friendly, safe, clean and an easy choice to care for your dog. I'm flexible to walk or watch your dog when you need. If that's a quick walk, for a few hours, a few days or longer. My availability is open and flexible for what and when you need. I have a fenced backyard where your dog can run and play. Lots of room in the house for your dog to move around, play and be comfortable.

“Lisa was absolutely amazing taking care of our cat Adel for 4 days while we were away on a short trip. She always came at agreed hour, greeting Adel and making everything we asked her to. She sent us pictures and videos of Adel, her food and litter, which gave us peace of mind. Really appreciate such attention to detail - Lisa's services are highly recommended!”

About: I have had three dogs in my lifetime and I unfortunately lost one to a disease and the other two [Female Shih Tzu and Male Golden Retriever] are both anmazing and naughty. Being in Canada I miss my dogs and this can be a way to be closer to them. I took care of them while I was back in India for four years. I do have previous experience of around 9 months with Rover. If your dogs want to have a WOOF(great) time, would love to connect. I’m currently on temporary vacation due to the work shortage in the BFX industry. Due to the work shortage I have full time availability and all hour availability as well. I have a very spacious condo with a railed balcony for the fur babies to easily roam around and also look out if needed. The neighbourhood is pretty safe.

About: I’m a longtime cat owner and animal lover with 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own beloved cat. I understand how important it is to find someone patient, gentle, and trustworthy to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with cats. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, companionship, and regular updates with photos for peace of mind. I’m currently offering drop-in visits only, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m currently available for cat drop-in visits during evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets receive caring attention, fresh food and water, litter cleaning, playtime, and updates while their owners are away. I believe pets feel most comfortable staying in their familiar home environment, so I always aim to provide calm, gentle, and reliable care during each visit. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, litter cleaning, water refills, and making sure doors and windows are secure at all times. I also provide photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Ive had a genuine love for pets since childhood. Even with having multiple cats at home, I would still find cats outside and bring them home to give them food and water. My friends have also trusted me with their pets due to my experience, and Ive never really met a pet that didn't like me as well. I care for my own pets (2 Russian blue cats), in between being a musician. I embrace their healing properties (Like their purring, that is even used for acoustic therapy for bone healing in humans!), I enjoy educating myself about what they need to thrive. My 2 cats (mom and her son) keep each other company daily, they both enjoy going outside but the little one only roams in the backyard when he feels like running around and munching on grass.

“I apologize for my delayed review; I was busy catching up on my work. I was really pleased that Qian accepted my request, even though it was last minute. He came to check on Ray and my house within 30 minutes of my request before agreeing to it. He understood my instructions perfectly. He was also flexible enough to accommodate my request to change the time on the first day. For the actual service, he arrived right on time and took care of Ray as instructed, sending me pictures to reassure us. On the second day, he cleaned the litter box, communicated with me, and went upstairs to check on Ray to make sure he was okay. I'm very satisfied with the service and will definitely reach out again when I need pet sitting services.”

“Kambiz took care of my three cats while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with his service! He was punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring towards my cats. He followed all my instructions perfectly, ensuring that my cats received their meals on time, had plenty of playtime, and a cleaned litter box everyday. I appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and well-cared for in my absence. I highly recommend Kambiz to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving cat sitter!”
