“Cassandra was really soft and knowledgeable with my very shy poodle. She knows how to approach timid dogs and not be a threat to them. She is very pleasant and polite”
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!
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.
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 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!
About: I have always had a deep love and passion for dogs, which is why caring for them is not just a responsibility for me but a true joy. My golden retriever, Hazel, has taught me so much about the unique personalities and needs that each dog has, and I cherish every moment I spend with her. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing together, I find immense happiness in being around dogs. I am committed to providing the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after, treating them as if they were my own I am available to pet care on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the days in the week I have work. Some days are exception and we can discuss that. The very first stage is to build trust with the dog by providing care. From energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle care, I’m comfortable and confident in providing the appropriate level of attention and activity each dog requires.
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.

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.
“Collin was so flexible and responsive when we needed care for our dog and cat at the last minute! We felt very comfortable that they were in good hands, and we look forward to having Collin pet-sit for us in the future.”
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: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.
