“From the moment Gillian and I began communicating Gillian was very friendly and accommodating. Gillian is great with my puppy Maverick! She treats him like he is her own. I would recommend her to anyone :)”

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

About: I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love being around dogs and cats! I work for myself from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate different routines, last-minute bookings, and pets who need a little extra attention during the day. I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and keep active dogs entertained and engaged. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I’m self-employed and work from home, pet care can fit into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to build walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means an early morning walk, a midday outing, extra potty breaks, structured mealtimes, or evening snuggles. I love having a dog around while I work, and I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and at home. I provide reliable, loving care while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to spend time playing, giving belly rubs, refreshing food and water, letting them out, or simply keeping them company if they’re looking for some extra attention. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need while keeping their safety a top priority. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets with different routines, personalities, and needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I'm Taya, a 37-year-old lifelong dog owner offering dog walking, pet sitting, and in-home pet care in KW and the surrounding area. I've spent my life raising large breeds, and the dogs that have shaped me most weren't the easy ones. I know from personal experience the anxiety that comes with finding a trusted person to take care of and understand the needs of a strong and reactive dog. My Cane Corso (147 lbs) was reactive — dogs, bicycles, scooters, you name it — and together we developed what I call defensive walking: staying proactive, reading the environment ahead, and keeping situations calm before they escalate. I know how to manage powerful dogs on a leash and how to advocate for reactive dogs in the real world. My Rottweiler had seizures, which means I'm also experienced in recognizing and responding to seizure episodes and comfortable administering medication on a schedule or in an emergency. I don't panic — I've been there. What I offer: Dog walking (including reactive and large breed dogs) Pet sitting at your home Medication administration if required I'm a responsible, experienced dog person who understands that your dog isn't just a pet. I am currently unemployed by choice. I have spent a few years in Australia and recently returned to Canada. I have all the time to dedicate towards pet care. I have a fully fenced yard with my home, with no other animals here. At your home, I will follow your rules. Pats and cuddles on the couch if it's allowed; if not, we will sit on the floor and cuddle.

“Hayley is absolutely amazing!! Always making sure Ella gets the most out of her time with her. Ella always gets back home tired out and so happy! 10/10 would recommend to anyone for their furry best friend ?”

“Sara was great! She even ventured out to us for a meet and greet in a snow storm. Flexible and reliable. Good communication. Will watch the animals again for us!”

About: I have lived with pets my entire life and have taken care of various family members and friends pets for extended periods of time! I care for them like their my own! I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule and open to figuring out a schedule that works for all of us. I do not provide care for pets at my own home but I will ensure your pet is in a safe environment at your home

About: Hey, I'm Elle! I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and I'm now a proud dog mom to my stubborn boy, Brutus. I have years of experience walking and sitting dogs of all ages and personalities. Brutus has anxiety on walks, especially around other dogs, so I understand how to handle different temperaments with care and patience. With five siblings and four additional family dogs, I've always been the go-to sitter and walker when they're busy. I treat every dog I care for as my own, like the playful, loving children they often are! As a college student studying social work, I know how busy life can get. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family member, whether they need extra attention as a puppy or a little extra love as a senior. Let me help make your week easier and your pup happier! I have an extremely flexible schedule, making pet care one of my top priorities! I attend 2-hour classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with an online class on Friday. I've taken a break from my part-time job to focus solely on studying and, of course, providing loving care to pets. With my own car, I can easily travel to you, and I am usually free on weekends. On Sundays, I attend church from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, but I am available before and after. I'd love to help care for your furry friend whenever you need it! I understand how important it is to feel secure when someone is caring for your pets in your home. I'm committed to maintaining your trust by treating your home with utmost respect, keeping it clean and tidy, and adhering to any boundaries or house rules you set. I will bring my own food, so you won't need to worry about accommodating me. I thrive on schedules and rules but am also adaptable if anything unexpected arises. I'll have my phone with me at all times and am happy to send updates, photos, Facetime, or chat to keep you in the loop and ease your mind. I also understand it can feel a little strange having a stranger in your home. I can assure you I take this responsibility seriously. I will NEVER have anyone over, will NOT share your address, and will always treat your space with care and professionalism. Your pet(s) and home will be in safe, loving hands.

“Melodi was a wonderful cat sitter for Bruce during my three-day trip, my first time using a sitter. Within about five minutes, Bruce was purring and comfortable with her, as if they already knew each other. She cares for cats like her own (she has a cat, Winston, who looks a lot like Bruce), and it showed in how attentive she was every single day. She sent photos and videos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. She exceeded my expectations, and I'd recommend her without hesitation. I'll definitely book her again.”

“She is the best cat sitter ever!! I can’t believe that my anxiety cats let her carry them. She must be likable parson!”

About: I've had dogs for over a decade and take care of my mother in law's Labradoodle when she one vacation. So well versed in all sizes of dogs Hey all I currently work weekdays but have evenings and weekends to walk and take care of all your furry friends. Can't wait to meet all of you I treat our pets with kindness and love. Walk our dog daily and spend time brushing, playing and enjoying the time I have with our animals

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care tailored to your pet's unique personality and needs. Watching animal from a young age I’ve grown to develop a strong passion for fostering the well-being of furry companions, I ensure that each pet under my care receives not only love and attention but also individualized training and enrichment. My dedication to open communication and your pet's safety guarantees peace of mind while you're away, knowing that your beloved furry family member is in the best possible hands. I currently work from home! So I have tons flexibility during the day to take your dog for a walks or entertain him/her well you are gone! After 5pm I have tons of free time as well. I love taking walks, enjoying the weather, watching tv, playing fetch with you pup and much more! In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. Here's how I approach pet care in both settings: **In My Home:** 1. **Safe Environment:** I maintain a pet-friendly and secure environment within my home, ensuring there are no hazards that could harm your pet. 2. **Routine and Structure:** I establish a consistent daily routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest to mimic the familiar routine your pet is used to. 3. **Socialization:** If your pet enjoys socializing with other animals, I facilitate supervised interactions with my own pets, if applicable, to ensure a positive experience. 4. **Personalized Attention:** I provide one-on-one attention to each pet, catering to their unique needs and preferences, whether it's belly rubs, fetch, or simply a cozy spot for cuddling. **In Client's Home:** 1. **Familiar Environment:** I strive to maintain a sense of normalcy for your pet by sticking to their established routines, including feeding schedules and exercise regimens. 2. **Comfort and Security:** Your pet's comfort and security are paramount. I ensure they feel safe and at ease in their own environment. 3. **Attention to Detail:** I pay close attention to your pet's needs, monitoring their behavior, and catering to their specific preferences, whether it's their favorite toys, treats, or play activities. 4. **Communication:** I keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so you can stay connected with your pet and have peace of mind while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat your pet as a cherished member of the family, providing the highest level of care, love, and attention to ensure their happiness and well-being.

About: 🐶 Former Pet Owner 🏃‍♂️ Flexible as per your needs 🗣️ Clear and smooth communication for owners 🫡 Respecting owners' privacy and complying with their house rules 🤓 I genuinely like to be surrounded by animals; I am an independent senior tech consultant/startup founder by profession, but I do this not as a profession but as my way to help people with their busy schedules, and in return I get to make new furry friends❤️!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I started going door to door in my neighbourhood offering dog walking when I was around 7 years old, and I’ve always loved spending time with animals. I’ve had many different dogs over the years, including a Yorkie Shih Tzu, Vizsla, Border Collie, Chocolate Lab, Pitbull Lab mix, Golden Retriever, and a mixed breed, so I’ve gotten to experience lots of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve spent lots of time training my own dogs, practicing tricks, leash manners, recall, and basic commands. I’ve also helped with grooming, brushing, bathing, nail care, and just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, I was always the person my neighbours trusted to watch their dogs while they were away. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. My schedule is pretty much always open. I’m free mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need someone last minute, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with your dog while you’re gone, I’m happy to help. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I know they’re family. I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and of course treats (if allowed 😊). If I’m in your home, I’ll always clean up after myself and leave it cleaner than when I got there. I live on an acreage with a big fenced yard, so there’s lots of room to run and play. I also have a long leash outside for dogs that like a little more freedom but still need to stay on a leash. I have two dogs of my own—Pepper (3) and Jaxson (11). They’re both super sweet, but if your dog isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally okay. Mine can stay downstairs while your pup has the upstairs all to themselves. My house is non-smoking, and I have extra toys, bowls, and lots of dr treats. I honestly just love dogs and would love to hang out with yours. :)

“Walter was great for our puppy, easy to communicate with, followed instructions and sent great updates and pictures! I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to others!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules.
