Dog Walking Vineland

“This was our first time leaving our Benji alone for a week. We were feeling very unsure and anxious as to how to go about this. Our daughter was getting married in Mexico and everyone we knew would attend. A friend mentioned Rover and we investigated. But who to trust? After a few attempts, we noticed Jade with all her great reviews. It was the right decision! Jade was prompt, courteous, lovely with huge smiles. Most importantly, Benji warmed right up to her! We knew it then. Our worries faded quickly. Every day, twice, we were texted the time of walking, the map of the route, his activity and pictures. It made our week! Jade was so consistent and thorough, we vowed to give her a big SHOUT OUT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the assurance was greatly appreciated! :)”

“Shealin has been so kind and caring toward our dog and gives us updates on how he’s doing each day. It has been such peace of mind to have her come walk Freddie and take care of him when we can’t. Thanks Shealin!”

About: Being a dog lover my entire life, I have always taken any opportunity to work with dogs. My first job was at Ren’s Pets Depot, where I was able to interact with pets and their owners every day. Over the years, I have raised three guide dogs through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, as well as provided dog sitting for their fosters and career-changed dogs. I also worked at the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA as a canine assessor. In addition, I have volunteered as a photographer for various animal rescue organizations such as Save Our Scruff and Bark at the Moon K9 Rescue. Because of this experience, I have the ability and knowledge to care for a wide range of dogs, from puppies to anxious dogs to rescues. I can provide a calm, structured, and welcoming environment tailored to each pup’s individual needs. Lyndon, my 7-year-old black Lab mix and career-changed guide dog, is easygoing and social. He loves the company of other dogs and will be a steady, friendly companion during their stay. Olly, my 6-month-old dachshund, is a bit more reserved at first but warms up with time. Once comfortable, she enjoys playful moments like chase and fetch! Together, Lyndon and Olly help create a balanced home environment that can suit both confident and more sensitive dogs. You can follow along our daily adventures on Instagram to get a better sense of what life is like in our house! I work most days from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will be able to adjust my work day to best fit your dogs needs and keep them in a routine they are comfortable with. I have two friendly dogs at home who help create a calm, social environment for visiting pets. My black Lab mix, Lyndon, is very easygoing and loves the company of other dogs, making him a steady companion during their stay. I also have Olly my 6-month-old miniature dachshund, who is a bit more reserved at first but settles in with time and enjoys gentle play once she is comfortable. With over 14 years of experience in dog care, including fostering, working with rescues, and assessing dogs professionally, you can feel confident that your pup will be cared for, understood, and loved as if they were my own. I always aim to create a safe, structured, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs.

About: I grew up with a beautiful, high-energy golden retriever, taking him for walks and car rides, brushing him, and giving him tons of pets. As someone who loves animals but isn’t in the position to have a pet of my own, I take any opportunity I can to hangout and take care of them. I had the opportunity recently to dog walk a senior dog and pet sit a couple big dogs for a few family friends and loved every minute of it. I took them for walks and potty breaks, fed them, played with them, and made sure to keep them on their normal routine while their owners were away. I am a quick learner who is able to follow instruction very well and ask questions when needed, so if your pet needs any extra care (for example, administering oral medication), I am more than comfortable taking on new tasks. I am currently in between employment and am looking for ways to make some money while I gear up for a master’s program in Scotland this fall. My availability is very flexible (e.g. mornings, afternoons, evenings, week days, and weekends) as my only other commitment is helping my brother with special needs on occasion. I will have plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your pets. I am very respectful, making sure to treat your home and pets as my own and ensuring their safety. For walks, I’ll make sure to use your preferred collar or harness, take the same walking route if that is what your pet prefers, always picking up their poop and putting it in the proper garbage, and making sure the doors/gates are locked before leaving. If your dog doesn’t enjoy interactions with other pets or people, I will make sure to avoid those situations, or if they do, give them plenty of time to socialize. In the home, I will make sure any hazards are put away, food is secured, things are put back where they belong, and make sure off-limit places stay off-limits. I will follow all instructions and send questions your way if I am unsure about anything. Plus, I’ll send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well when you’re away.

“James was able to make my dog comfortable in my absence due to his caring nature with dogs. My dog gets exhausted from her walks. Thank you very much James!”

About: A long time dog and horse lover, have recently retired and moved to St. Catharines from Oakville and now have time to spend with pets. Love to walk and play with dogs or pamper kitties, enjoying their company, energy and unique personalities. Have a 1400 SF home in quiet area with several small dogs in neighbouring homes. Have large fenced-in DECK, and own car should veterinary attention be required at any time. Happy to observe /reinforce your rules with your pet. Have dog-sat and medicated dogs for neighbours and friends. Have also successfully fostered, medicated, and found homes for cats and their kittens in past years for Toronto Humane Society, and had two of my own outdoor cats for 17 yrs and adopted another that was with me for 12 years. NB. I DO ASK THAT WHERE PETS SOIL THE CARPET IN MY HOME, OWNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ALL CLEANING COSTS REQUIRED. I'm retired with a few minor obligations throughout the week, and am able to largely work around the animal's needs, especially with only one pet at a time. I have a large fenced in deck attached to the house, and reasonable sized common areas on the property, and a park around the block, where I can take your fur-babies reqularly!

About: I have owned & operated Joy’s Rescue since November 2015 rescuing over 80+ animals from dogs, cats & pocket pets. I have worked with all age ranges & worked with a lot of special needs animals. In past even finding accurate prognosis & saving lives. If you have any extra pets beyond cats and dogs we can arrange something that works best for everyone! I love absolutely all animal as my own - no matter how long I get with them. I am personally available whenever is needed. Any prior obligations can be worked around. Your pets come first always, whatever schedule your pet has is now mine own. I always request to go to clients house, based on operating a rescue from my home & this provides less change and less stress on all pets not having to loose their owner and be relocated all in the same day. Keeping them happy, safe and stress free is priority on all accounts.

“We are so thankful we found Marisa. She is the most reliable dog walker we've ever had and is an excellent communicator. We love getting the fun photo updates from their walks, and it's a huge relief to know our dog is in such good hands!”

About: Growing up, I always had animals in my life and I can't imagine living without a pet. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are so much more than pets—they're family. They're my constant companions, my greatest source of unconditional love and my best friends. Whether we're exploring new trails, enjoying quiet moments together or setting off on another adventure, they're always by my side. Life is simply better with them in it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I’m currently working a f/t night shift job (early retirement in December 2026). I am available from Monday-Friday after 11am and anytime over the weekend. I am available during the holiday season. Once I am retired from my 25 yrs of service at my current job my schedule will be more flexible. 🙂 I can prepare meals/medication and care for your dog. Follow your usual routine with them. I have plenty years of experience caring for a pet

Pet care is something I’m doing because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m excited to meet new pets and their families.🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

“Shayelin was excited to meet my puppy, sent some great updates and made sure he had water after a good walk in the hot sun before she leaving. But pup was still happy and exhausted when I got home from works few hours later. I will definitely reach out to Shayelin again in the future”
