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: 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.
About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.
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: I've been taking care of dogs, and my pet's in general for maybe more than 10 years. I was the only one in the house responsible for that since I wanted to have a pet and after that I had the chance to take care of my neighbors and Friends dogs when they were away and they always had a great experience with me and my family. at my place you bed will be well take care of and there's always going to be someone there to play with them and it had a great time with your dog walking playing or socializing with the kids and maybe other pets if they're available that day I'm at home all day, so no need to worry; your pet will have my full attention. My kids and husband are also always around, taking care of the dogs, so you can rest assured when I'm not there. We are a very loving family who will be taking care of your pet all the time. Your pet will have at least 3 to 4 walks a day and playtime many times a day. I work some weekends, and if that's the case when I'm taking care of your pet, you could expect them to be alone for 4 to 8 hours that day, which means 2 walks that day. Once your pet is at my place I will schedule a routine where we could go out three or four times a day and one more time before we I'll go to bed it will have play time and running time around the neighborhood I could drive him to a park close by so he can be safe and always be watched by me so you don't have to be worried about that. I own a dog as well, medium size, very friendly and playful, not neutered, so your pet will have company during the day 😊
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
“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.”
About: I've had dog and cats since I was born and so I have years of experience in taking care of them. If your pet is comfortable around my dogs we would love to have them stay for a visit! I am currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time for walks, bathroom breaks, feedings, administering any medication, treat breaks, playing and cuddling. I have a nice fenced in yard with two friendly dogs and two friendly dog and cat loving little girls! I also have a husband who loves and is great with pets and pet care.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years from having 2 cats at home and one dog, I am all taking care of a few dogs in Canada where I study and take them for walks and house sit when the owners are out of town. it helps me take a break from doing whatever to care for the pet and walk it and spend time with an animal for a few hours in a day to get my mindset different. On a daily basis I wake up and feed the dog and then take him/ her for a walk and play with the pet for a while and then take him/ her for an other walk and then at night I feed him/ her again and take him for an other walk and then one more before bed so I’m taking the pet for a walk around 4-5 times a day depends.
About: First of all - I empathize with your tough decision; leaving your fur baby in the hands of another is always a stressful experience. I want to make sure this is a pawsitive experience for you - to answer any questions, send regular updates and photos of your fur baby being spoiled, feeling safe and comfortable in your absence - which would be stressful for them as well. I will not derail your training or nutrition routines as I know it takes a lot of work and dedication to raise a healthy, happy pet. I work full time M to F, 8 to 3. If by chance your fur baby needed to spend any weekdays with me, I’m happy to crate or provide a space free of dangers - garbages up, stairs downstairs gated off and peaceful music in the background. I can also ask my folks (retired) to stop by for a pet and a pee. Mainly - I am looking to sit during weekends (when I am fully off) and holidays (I get all school holidays off) - where it will be me and your fur baby from morning till night! Also - if your pet is more comfortable at his/her own home, I don’t mind having the discussion of me staying over with you. I think it would be really beautiful to get to know your pet like an auntie so that you all can rely on a familiar face as you travel and your pets grow older! I live on an acre of land, with a creek in my backyard. I do not live on a busy street, however, I do not have a fenced in property. I would never let your dog or cat outside to roam without myself at the end of their leash. I will gladly exercise your fur baby with toys, lick pads and long-tether leash walks, in the backyard, on the trails (depending on heartworm/tick medications up to date), but I would never let them out of my sight (I wouldn’t even be able to do that with my own fur baby as I don’t want them to get into anything and frankly I don’t trust people out there!!)
About: If you’re in need of top-notch care for your beloved pets, you’ve come to the right place. I’m passionate about all animals and cherish the moments I’m able to spend with them. I’ve had pets my whole life and love taking care of them, we had a potbelly pig growing up and I had a Chihuahua for 13 years and now have Coco the Cockapoo. You can rely on me for loving and caring for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pets before booking so that you you have the opportunity to get to know me and I become acquainted with your pet. My most important concern is that your pets feel safe and cared for and the parents truly feel that I’m dependable, reliable and a honest human being. Rest assured I prioritize the well being and happiness of your pets above all else. I’m on ODSP and not working other than dog sitting or cat sitting. I’m available any time that you need me to look after your pets I have a fully fenced school right near me I can take them or if it’s in your home I will take them on walks or to the dog park if you want.
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've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Rosie had some special needs this week and James was very careful and caring with her, and attentive to a potentially changing situation. I’m grateful she has someone looking out for her when I’m not home.”
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.

Hazel had a great time walking with Veronica. She was very kind and patient with my dog during her walk. Veronica fulfilled a last min request and handled my dog very well. Hazel came back home tired and very happy! I am booking Veronica again today and would recommend her to anyone.
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.
