Pet Sitting in Waterloo

“Finn went above and beyond as a dog sitter! Her level of love and care for others is evident. She took the time to put on Teddy’s boots and coat before his walks, wiped him clean, fed him and sent me pics! Teddy is spoiled and I knew she would take good care of him since our meet & greet. I had a health procedure so wasn’t feeling great, and she even brought me flowers. What an amazing human, I am lucky I found her! 💕”

“Aliyah took care of my Bunny when I was away, dropping in daily to change his litter box, feed him and give him some company. She did an excellent job and was very reliable.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and a current dog parent, I have extensive hands-on experience with puppy care and dog training, including potty training, crate training, loose-leash walking, heel work, recall, etc. I love engaging dogs in games like fetch, retrieve, and tug, making sure they get both physical and mental stimulation. My approach is all about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding every dog's unique personality. Whether it’s playful puppies or mellow seniors, I truly enjoy building trust with each dog I care for. Your pup will be in caring, knowledgeable, and loving hands! I also have experience taking care of cats. While I’ve spent more time working with dogs, I approach cat care with the same level of patience and love. I provide dogs with plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and structured enrichment. Your dog will get undivided attention and quality care, just like my own pup. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and well-being, and I firmly believe that every dog deserves personalized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, making sure to stick to your dog’s usual routine for meals, walks, rest, and playtime, which helps your dog feel comfortable and less stressed even when you’re away. At my home, dogs stay in a safe, clean, and calm environment, with proper supervision and plenty of enrichment. When walking or doing drop-in visits, I adjust activities based on your dog’s personality: - Social, energetic dogs enjoy playful walks with enrichment games like fetch and sniffing. - For reactive or shy dogs, I specifically avoid contact with other dogs and people, choosing quiet, low-stimulation routes to ensure they feel safe and calm. With every dog, I’m attentive, patient, and always respectful of their individual needs, while keeping you updated with regular photos and notes. Your dog will get loving, customized care, just like they do at home.

“Daniela looked after our cat Molly while we were away for a long weekend. She stopped in every day to feed her and play with her. We got lots of pictures of Molly after each visit and we could tell she was very happy to see her and have some company. We will be happy to have Daniela come look after Molly again sometime soon!”

About: Looking for a reliable, attentive, and experienced dog walker in the KW area? My name is Janaya, and I am passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs through my dog walking services. I am currently a student living away from my fluffy boy Rudy, and looking to get back into the routine of exercise and daily walks. With years 11 of experience as a dog owner, and 1 year as a barn animal assistant, I value the importance of regular enrichment and engagement for animals. From leisurely strolls to brisk walks, I tailor each outing to your dog's individual needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to chat with you about how I can meet your dog's needs and provide you with peace of mind. - Janaya Y. I am available daily, for early morning, midday, and afternoon walks. I am currently a student studying from home, and the best way for me to stretch my legs and take breaks between studies is to walk! 💡Please refrain from booking walks with me after 8:00PM💡 Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’ll ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow any specific routines or instructions you provide and offer updates so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note that I currently do not offer service within my own home.

“A vacation isn't one at all if you're stressed about your babies. Shannon has made my last vacations restful and relaxing knowing with photo updates and detailed notes how each of our two Lab pups are doing. She cares for our home and family like these were her very own! A gem of a person and a total superhero to us and our Pupps! Highly recommend!”

“Britney was incredible with our furr-babies! She kept us up to date with how our cats were doing, and let us know if there were any changes in their behaviour. We would highly recommend Britney! Our cats loved her! Evidence from their daily report cards!”

“Once again Dave did a fantastic job taking care of my beautiful dog and had excellent communication. He even came 10 minutes early and took literally stunning photos and updated me on his walk, his poop shape, and his energy. 100% will use his services again! Thank you Dave so much for taking care of my baby so great!! He’s made a great friend for sure ☺️”

“Vivian was absolutely AMAZING with our cat, Reggie! She was a great communicator, extremely timely and organized. She has been the best sitter we've had! She took time to play with Reggie at each visit, which he and we LOVED! And she followed his feeding instructions to a T which was very important to us. Our little guy can be very particular about people but by the second visit he was showing Vivian his belly and demonstrating his hunting skills! I loved the updates she would send, including photos that made us feel at ease that he was in good hands. We look forward to booking with her in the future!”

“Sandra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was away. She sent daily updates with pictures, and I could tell my cats were happy and well cared for. Sandra even managed to win over my shyer cat Lily, which is no small feat! I came home to a clean house and content kitties. I highly recommend Sandra for pet sitting!”

About: I worked in a pet transportation company where I received a comprehensive training and experience with various breeds of dogs and cats and provided excellent care for them I love to take long walks every evening, I also have a flexible schedule so I can adjust my visits if needed. I love to spend my time with pets I confirm any details like allergies, food preferences, behaviour traits, etc. to ensure that the pet will be safe and sound with me. I also will play and care for them the way you want.

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

“Lizzy took such wonderful care of my bunny, Bean, that I think he was disappointed to see that I was back from my trip.🤣 I have booked with Lizzy for 6 days later this month and know that Bean will be well taken care of and loved.”

“Jessica is the absolute best. I originally booked her for 3 weeks and by the end of the 1st I felt so confident and comfortable with her that I extended a 4th to see my family. That was really important to me and she really delivered. In addition to her professional quality pictures, she would send an extremely thoughtful and also funny synopsis of her time with my girls. She was vigilant, commenting on issues with their litter box behaviour, and took loving care of them with brushes and nail clips. My girls are going to miss her so much and we can’t wait to hire her again!”

Isabel J.

“Wenge took such great care of our cat Errol during our holiday. Errol has some health issues that need monitoring; Wenge was so diligent with sending daily photos of the litter box for our review, and monitoring for symptoms. When we came back, Errol was so happy and calm! We are so grateful to have someone to trust with Errol on our holidays - Thanks again Wenge!”

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Piper. She was great with both of our cats while we were away and always gave an informative updates after their visits. Both of our cats are particular in their own way and Piper easily adapted to their needs. 10s across the board!”

About: ***Welcoming new friends for walks/drop ins!*** With over 30 years of caring for and owning cats and dogs, we can guarantee that we will care for and love your pet as if it were our own. I started walking a neighbour’s dog and caring for cats when I was in my midteens - after years of longing for a pet in a pet-free home, it was a way to get a “fix”! Over the years I have cared for other people’s pets and eventually my own. I didn’t get my first dog until I was 29! Since then I have had 5 dogs. The most recent is Lily, a one year old potcake from Bahamas. She joins Poppy, our 5 year old mutt who loves to play and take up the whole couch. When your dog stays with us, they will be one of the family! With a big yard and dogs that love to play and go for walks, your dog will not only have fun but get lots of love too. We are a family that adores our dog and everyone else’s too! My kids (age 17 and 15) have had dogs in their lives since they were born and they are excellent with dogs of all kinds. My daughter is becoming more involved as a part-time job. If we are dropping in to see your cat or dog we can promise to give them whatever they need - cuddles, play time or to just sit in quiet company (I know, cats right? They want you but don’t want them to know they want you). If your dog needs a walk, it will involve lots of focussed attention, chatting, pats, and treats (if allowed - otherwise just lots of attention). We know what your pet means to you because we know what ours mean to us. And we know the kind of care and attention we want our dogs to have when we have to leave them behind. This is what we can offer you - a caring home away from home filled with affection and fun or personalized, attentive drop-ins or walks. A note about fees: Nightly fees are for up to 24 hours. Additional time that is not a full day may incur additional fees. Not all holidays or high demand times in Ontario or Canada are included by Rover (ie Family Day, March Break) so rates may be adjusted for holidays. I work part-time outside the home. My husband works from home 4 days a week. We fit dog-walking and playtime in around our work and family obligations and usually get at least one big nature walk in on the weekends. Our dogs are part of our daily lives, napping nearby while we work or hanging out with us while we read, watch tv, or play games. We have a large fenced yard and our dogs have the run of the house. We also have a crate and can offer it if your dog needs a space to rest or stay if we go out or overnight. Daily walks and play time, snuggles if they want to, care and affection are just routine around here. We are definitely dog people! I have taken a basic canine first aid course and keep basic first aid supplies in the case of an emergency before veterinary care can be accessed. This would only be used immediately in case of an injury and would not replace veterinary attention.
