Dog Sitting Welland

“Miryam did an amazing job caring for our two cats during our honeymoon. She was able to befriend our shy boy and is an excellent communicator. We appreciated the updates we received with each visit. Our home was well cared for while we were away. And she was able to give our eldest cat his puffers.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: 🐈 Your Pet’s New Best Friend 🐣 Making Sure your pet is safe, happy, & having fun 🐶 Detailed Updates with photos & videos 🐩 Puppy & Cat Owner I recently graduated college and am not currently working, so I have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs care during the day, evenings, weekends, or overnight, I’m happy to work around their routine and your needs! I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I treat every home with respect and will keep things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🏡💙

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

I am patient with timid or senior dogs, comfortable following detailed instructions, and will always keep you updated with photos and detailed updates after every visit! I maintain a flexible weekly schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate midday dog walks and drop-in visits. I organize my availability in advance so I can provide reliable, on-time care for your pets when you need it most. I am available for morning, midday, and evening visits on select weekdays and weekends. When visiting your home, my priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

“Tata is amazing. My kitty was somewhat feral when I got her years ago. Doesn't trust anyone but myself and my husband. She came and GREETED Tata when she arrived. Every day. I highly recommend her.”

“Areeba was absolutely amazing with her communication and ensuring the safety and love of my little kitty Neiko. She provided me with updates, photos and never hesitated to ask questions to better understand his care. She even left a letter expressing her appreciation to care for my kitten. I definitely will be having her back for my next trip!”

About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children... with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.

Your dog will be well looked after in my care.

About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

About: I will make sure that your dog feels loved while being away from your care. They will never feel alone because my job is to keep them company and make sure their mind is occupied by going for walks or playing in the backyard. Long story short, your dog will never be bored with me as I will be by their side every second we are together. I have had a dog for 8 years and I treat her like she is my dog child and your dog can expect no different. As for availability, I am pretty flexible and with some notice can be available pretty much anytime I am needed. I hope you trust that I will take good care of your dog child. I am currently working full time from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. I have hour lunches to be able to go home during the work day and my husband is at home all day and is able to care for your pet while I am at work. I like to make sure I take extra good care of a client’s home and that I respect their space as I would want somebody to respect mine. I grew up in a house with a single mother who taught me how to maintain a clean house so I like to do the same when I am staying at someone else’s place. Same goes for their pets. I had my fur baby for more than 10 years between my high school and university years and I loved her more than anything. I want to care for your pets like it is her I am taking care of.

About: I am a friendly, energetic 26 year old who loves all furry friends! Growing up on a farm, I have had a long history of working with animals. I love dogs, and I began dog sitting and taking care of dogs when my family adopted our dog Riley 10 years ago. Through the years, my family has also fostered many dogs, and I have really enjoyed taking the dogs out for long walks, runs, and out to play. I would love to take care of your dog for you, whether they’re big, small, shy, outgoing, lazy or energetic. (I am also very good with cats and other small animals). I look forward to meeting you and your pet. When I am looking after a pet, their care is my top priority. I always put them first and give them as much attention as they need. I care for pets in my home very attentively and thoughtfully. If a pet has a favourite treat or a favourite activity or enjoys being pet a certain way I will make sure to give them that treat activity or walk.

About: Hey! I’m a full time student who loves animals and knows firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m currently offering cat and dog services to help support my studies, but because I know how expensive quality care can be (and because every pet deserves reliable care), I keep my rates as low as possible. I’m a full time student so you’ll have my availability as long as I’m not actively in a lecture. Luckily, lots of courses I’m taking are online! Using positive reinforcement, I tailor my services to the preferences of both the owners and the dogs, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's drop-in visits or dog walking, I consider your dog's energy level, the temperature of the day, and other factors to provide the best care. For example, on hot days, I bring dog friendly popsicles for the pups to enjoy (with prior approval of owner, with allergies in mind). My goal is not only to ensure your dog leaves happy but also well-exercised, content, and satisfied.

About: With over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ve raised my own dog from a puppy and have looked after many pets for friends and family—ranging from playful pups to senior cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, medication, and more. Whether your pet needs energy, patience, or extra cuddles, I treat them like my own. I currently work part time and with the winter approaching I will have lots of time off since my busy season is throughout the summer! I have a fenced yard and lots of parks near by to take your fur babies on walks. I have no pets currently and have lots of space for cuddles and love!

About: I am actively working as a veterinary assistant trained as a vet tech for the past 7 years. I previously worked in a pet rehabilitation facility where we helped pets recover from major surgery. I also completed a professional dog trainer certification through Canine Academy in Milton. I use a positive-reinforcement, reward based gentle approach for pet care and handling. Last year, I attended a workshop to learn low stress patient protocols for veterinary professionals and am fear free certified. I’ve even taught my dog to give consent for nail trims and trim his nails successfully every 2 weeks. I also have previously worked as a dog walker and daycare attendant. Recently I started offering in home nail trims for pets and would love to extend that support to drop in visits, pet sitting & medication/injection administration. I can monitor pets with medical needs closely and want to provide relief to pet parents who need support in any way. I’m here for you and your fur family and will accommodate each pets individual needs 💛 I work 4 days a week, evenings/weekends and Wednesdays I am off. While I am at work I have an hour break and can use that for drop in visits/let outs. I am a very detail oriented, clean person and will respect the space I am providing service in. I will clean up after your pets as I do with mine alike.

About: Growing up with dogs certainly makes a lot of difference. Although I do not have any professional per se experience but being a dog owner has definitely made me realize how other dog owners feel. We all want the same thing, our beautiful, furry friends to get the happiness and health they deserve. And when you're too busy with your jobs to provide them attention, that's what I am here for. With me near your dogs, you won't have to worry about anything. I have also given my four dogs training and handled them since they were babies. Being in this profession is not just about making money, it is also for doing what I love the most- taking care of dogs. Given me a chance, your dog will feel safe, nourished and happy. I am a full time architectural technologist looking for some extra income. That being said, being a pet owner myself I realize how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your pets alone. My main goal would be to provide a healthy and safe environment for your pets in your absence. Although I live in a duplex, I have access to the front and back yard and the neighborhood I live in is extremely pet friendly with dog parks on a 10 minute walking distance. I can easily create separate spaces for multiple pets and take them out on walks as required.

About: I’m retired from the Pharmacy industry. (In my past Profession I had federal government clearance) If you have a pet that requires medication I’m the person for you. I have a very flexible schedule and have my own vehicle . I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I’m not able to have pets where I live, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to meet new people. Plus put that missing piece back into my life. I believe pets keep you healthier and happier. They are a part of the family and should be treated with kindness and love. I sit for a couple in Florida that have three cats. They call me the cat whisperer! I have also house and dog sat for my girlfriend for many years. Hope to hear from you soon. Katharine
