About: Have two small female dogs of my own which are super friendly and can be kept separated if need be. Previously have had cats and former roommate has had cats. Have had birds. Have a flexible schedule. Willing to house sit on an as needed basis in Welland, St. Catharine’s, Niagara and surrounding areas as long as it accessible by bus service. Sundays are the only days in which I cannot commute into and out of Welland easily. Live close the Welland canal and off leash dog park. Love all types of dog regardless of size and am able to take for long walks and exercise as I am home majority of the time with very few days of unavailability. I am reliable and willing to work around your schedule should you need someone to be able to just do a quick pop in to take your dog a for a walk or need someone to feed your pets.

“She is very professional and my puppy loves her at the first moment. She also provide pictures and updates when I was not home. It makes me feel relieved.”

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 have my own dog, who I trained myself. I love taking dogs for walks as I know how important exercise is for dogs. A tired dog is a happy dog! I have experience dog/cat sitting for friends/family. I enjoy hanging out with animals and understanding their needs. I work part time (tuesday wednesday 8-4 and fridays 9-2:30) and have all the other days open. I am free to come play with your dog, walk your dog, feed your dog whatever you need I am there! I have a fully fenced yard. My dog is very good with other dogs if they ever needed to meet. You can trust me in your home, to keep it clean, and a great place for your dog to be in.

About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.

About: Do you work long shifts and need someone to check on your cat or walk your dog? Are you going away and need someone to visit your pet? Does your cat or dog require medication that you aren't home to give? As an experienced cat and dog owner, I would love to care for your pets while you are working or away. A previous owner of 5 dachshunds (yes 5!), I currently have two senior cats and have used Rover to take care of them when I am away. As a retired health care worker and owner of a cat with complex needs,I am comfortable with giving medications both oral and injectable. I enjoy walking small to medium size dogs, and especially love doggie cuddles! My availability is quite flexible and am open to last minute requests. I am free most weekdays from early morning until 7 pm and occasional weekends. I am happy to do multiple visits and the occasional overnight in my home. I am willing to visit the pets home ensuring they are fed, watered, and have a clean living space. I am happy to take dogs for leisurely walks at their pace and distance. My own yard, should I watch them here is completely fenced in with very few stairs. And of course, lots of cuddles!

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: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have two much-loved cats of my own, including one with asthma, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine, comfort, health, and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter care, playtime, administering routine care, and—most importantly—giving pets plenty of patience, affection, and company while their people are away. I also have extensive professional experience caring for and training horses, from working independently with large herds to assisting at a show barn and teaching beginner lessons. That experience taught me to read animal body language, remain calm and confident, follow detailed care instructions, and notice quickly when an animal isn’t behaving like themselves. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a genuine priority rather than trying to squeeze it into an already busy day. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can plan my routine around walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with your pets. Having two cats of my own also means animal care is already a natural and important part of my everyday life! In our home, our cats are truly part of the family! Their daily care includes wet food, supplements, lickable treats, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles they ask for. Although they love each other, they each have their own personality and need individual attention and one-on-one time with their humans. We’re a very happy, closely bonded little family, and I would bring that same warmth and attentiveness to caring for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, routines, and individual comfort levels. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and take the time to help your pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away.

About: I have owned both large and small dogs. I have grown up with Great Pyrenees, and Huskies and currently have a Miniature Dachshund. I love the outdoors and going for walks and playing with dogs. I will take the time to treat your dog as my own and ensure it is pampered while you are away. I have not met a dog yet that has not liked me and I believe dogs are a good judge of character. Any special requests you may have can be easily accommodated and I can provide you with updates when and if you would like them. I look forward to meeting your dog! I work from home, and I am in school right now so I will be at home and can care for your pet throughout the day! I have a fenced yard, and two miniature dachshunds to keep your pet company. I have a playpen for my dogs if they need to be separated as well. I always ensure to take photos of your pets visit so you know they are well cared for!

“Trisha arrived on time, shared pictures and sent me a nice message letting me know Kahlua was doing well. I am very happy to know my dog is in good hands with Trisha. I would highly recommend.”

“Riley is wonderful and had no trouble carrying a conversation. She seemed very interested in the pets and the fur babies loved her. I hope to book more visits so they get use to her. Eventually I would like to travel with peace of mind knowing that the animals are well cared for.”

About: I’ve cared for my personal, family and friends fur babies. Pet First Aid Certified. Experienced in clinic practice and have Veterinary Assistant schooling.

“Oh my gosh Lauren is nothing short of amazing. I had her come in to watch my two cats daily and it was the best experience. She came for a meet and greet a month before I left for a week’s vacation. I have a big orange girl who loves everyone and fears nothing and I have a teeny tortie who’s afraid of her shadow. The day Lauren came to visit, my little tortie peeked around the corner to have a look. She jumped up on the coffee table and walked across to sit beside Lauren on the couch, which she never does to anyone she doesn’t know. Animals are a good judge of character so I knew Lauren was the one. Everyday we received a text message from Lauren saying she was checking in and checking out, we received pictures and videos and updates. Our girls were so well taken care of ( I think they miss Lauren as they were clearly not to excited to see us after a week) lol. Thank you Lauren for taking such perfect care of our girls. It’s so nice to know we have someone to trust to come into our home when we’re away.”

About: I have had my beloved cat for 10 years, and we brought in our dog in 2021. I am incredibly interested in holistic animal care, and implement holistic care as much as I can in my own personal regime for both my cat and dog. I share a deep connection with animals and truly believe that they choose each of us as their stewards, as family. I'm currently a self-employed Licensed Paralegal and have a fairly flexible schedule depending on the noticed provided. I'm solely available for drop-invisits, and do not offer boarding at this time. I am happy to spend time playing with your animals and giving them attention in the comfort of their own home! I'm also able to provide them with food so long as instructions are provided ahead of time and clear. I'm capable of managing larger dog breeds such as labradors (crating, playing outside in a backyard, etc.), however I will not manage giant dogs (Great Danes, etc.). I love deeply connecting with animals, and providing them with one-on-one attention and playtime.

“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”

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.

“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.”
