Dog Walking Welland

“Emily has continued to be a constant and reliable caregiver for our dog Woody. She is always available and flexible to accommodate us. I feel like she loves woody like we do and she provides us with amazing feedback and suggestions on how to help Woody be the best boy possible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Emily is dedicated, insightful and caring. Thank you Emily !!!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs my whole life but I’ve never had the chance to have a furry friend. When I am with my friends puppies I feel so connected and love having fun with them. I love going on walks and I think having a companion would be great! Getting our daily steps in and energy out is something I’m looking forwards to. I also enjoy calm days. Low energy activities and naps are always a good time too! I am currently working full time but would love to use my free time walking and playing with furry friends. I am available Tuesday, Thursday and the weekends (please message for more of a thorough breakdown of my availability). I am willing to visit a few fur balls after my shifts as well! I am willing to follow your wishes regarding your puppy’s care. I will ensure to keep them happy and well fed when you’re not home!

“Communication with Max was excellent. He is friendly and professional. During their first meeting, he immediately won my anxious dog over with his calm and gentle energy. It is evident that he has experience with dogs and his love for them shines. I am very satisfied with his services and will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.”

About: I am an experienced dog walker (see referral) and am comfortable & love working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have covered feedings, administering medications, and overnight housing experience. I am new to the community and looking.tk help out where I can. I WFH currently and have a very malleable schedule to adjust to your dog's needs. In my free time I design and make clothing (as well as dog wear); inquire for more info. I work a typical Monday - Friday schedule, however I operate completely WFH with a very flexible schedule. I'm a morning person so a typical day would include a walk before work, another on my lunch and then a trip to the dog park after work. Maddie is half lab so I never have to worry about what he's doing because he's probably 10 feet away. He's fed full meals twice a day, a mix of: kibble, a source of protein (typically chicken organs or beef), essential fats (coconut oil) and some sweet potato and yogurt for stomach health. (He'll probably get an egg or two on the side too whenever I eat). Ive utilized this combination since adoption; He's full of energy and constantly gets compliments on his coat. I have always been kind and patient and this has created very easy bonds with animals.

About: I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. I spent several years working professionally in horse care and also have extensive experience with farm sitting and pet care. I currently volunteer with the Niagara SPCA & Humane Society, where I help care for and walk dogs when I can and volunteer at the cat shelter. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. My weekday mornings committed to other work until around noon. I’m happy to provide afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend care depending on availability. Your pets will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I’d want for my own. I am available early morning, afternoons and evenings most days, and will always try to help on short notice. Hope to hear from you soon. Trustworthy, reliable and caring for your pets like they are my own. With regular updates and photos for your peace of mind while in my care.

“Trisha was very flexible and excellent communication. She helped us out with our dog when we needed last minute service and was very accommodating and reliable. Would highly recommend her services and we will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Melanie 🐾 I have 9+ years experience training service dogs for an ADI-certified organization. I offer home-based daycare, boarding, and training in Welland. My services are a great fit for dogs who do best with structure, routine, and a little extra support. Good to know: ✨ Force-free, fear-free training ✨ Small groups & individualized care ✨ Fully insured ✨ Certified Canadian Pet Care Professional I often work with dogs who struggle with things like: ☑️ reactivity on walks, around other dogs, or in new environments ☑️ separation anxiety or difficulty being home alone ☑️ jumping, over-excited greetings ☑️ resource guarding or poor impulse control Your SCS crew consists of Tulo, our sweet and mellow black lab, a Great Dane Rudy, our giant party boy. We have two young children - 6 years old and 18 months old - who are learning about dog body language and respecting their space. 📸 I offer daily updates, personalized routines, and respectful, relationship-based care. 💌 Message me to learn more or schedule a meet & greet! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶 Pet care is fully woven into my daily life. I structure my day around the dogs, from morning walks and enrichment activities to playtime, rest, and evening snuggles. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family. I use positive reinforcement, maintain routines, and ensure dogs feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have experience working with dogs that have special behavioural or health needs. This includes dogs who are on a medication schedule, have epilepsy or other health concerns. I have worked with many dogs who need extra care and time to get comfortable with new people, dogs and environments at their own pace.

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, with experience looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and boarding, giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and a comfortable home environment. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule and make them feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, affection, and plenty of care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, sitting, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m happy to discuss their usual routine, feeding times, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’m attentive to their well-being throughout their stay and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard

About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home

About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.

“Eileen and Our golden became instant friends. It’s so evident that Eileen is a true pet lover. She’s kind, gentle and enjoys what she does. We were so impressed we’ve already booked her services for an upcoming dog sit.”

“We love Lauren! We know our big “moose” Brody is going for a great walk when he’s with Lauren. We have a Ring camera, so can see their interaction. Brody, who can be intimidating, adores Lauren! It’s much easier leaving him knowing Lauren will be stopping by!”

About: I work from home 100% of the time which means I will pay extra attention to your precious pup and provide excellent care. Usually the dogs I watch end up cuddled up beside me while I’m working or on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard, and I live close to a great trail system that I will take your dog for walks on, away from cars. I take pet care very seriously, and I will update you with photos and videos so you can feel safe and secure that your dog is good hands while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.

About: I’ve spent the past few years helping care for dogs for friends, family, and people in my community. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy on their walks. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, leash preferences, exercise needs, and any special care requests. I enjoy long walks, outdoor activity, and giving dogs plenty of attention and positive interaction. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, from playful dogs who love exercise to calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also make communication a priority and can provide updates and photos during walks so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during most weekdays, including afternoons and evenings. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashing practices, and avoid unsafe situations or overly crowded areas when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to animal behaviour, and I believe building trust with both pets and owners is important. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.
