About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who dreams of opening an animal shelter one day. I began dog-sitting at 15 years old and have been regularly caring for dogs ever since. I have experience with puppies as young as six months, as well as senior dogs. I also spent a month volunteering at a dog shelter in Italy, and my own dog is a rescue. Because of this, I’m familiar with a wide range of behaviours and am confident caring for dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or understanding. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I care for every dog as if they were my own. I am currently completing my undergraduate degree through an online university, which makes my schedule very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends with the exceptions of Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I’m attentive to safety, including secure doors, leashes, and household hazards. I respect my clients’ homes and provide regular updates so pet owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Love the pics thank you 😊”

About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.

About: I have Loved and been involved with all kinds of Animals since a young age. No better feeling than being Happily greeted by a Loved Pet. I am newly retired and looking to utilize my free time. I have been active throughout my career and need to continue to do so. I am able to utilize a well maintained grassy area or an enclosed dog run. Nice, safe walking conditions with minimal traffic. Home is pet friendly.

I'm reliable, attentive, and I care for animals with love and patience to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. We have a 2 year old golden doodle, Max who can keep your fur baby engaged. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible to give attention to my furry clients, ensuring they are fed, hydrated and have enough playtime. I have a big fenced backyard for the doggies to run around and enjoy their playtime. I ensure the small dogs and big dogs have separate playtime. You can trust your pets will be in good hands under my care.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.

About: Years of caring for my own dogs and cats, plus hands-on farm experience, give me a calm, confident approach with pets of all kinds :) I work part-time with a flexible schedule and have summers off, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets :) I create a pet-safe space by removing hazards, supervising closely, following routines, and ensuring a calm, clean environment in both my home and clients’ homes.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover who officially traded the corporate world for a career surrounded by dogs. I’ve fostered 8 rescue dogs, have two dogs of my own, and have spent years learning that no two pups are alike (and that treats are a very effective form of diplomacy). I’m a past- humane society volunteer, and have spent many mornings getting to know and walk new dogs. I recently left my corporate job to pursue a dream of working with and caring for dogs. So, I’m looking to fill my days doing what I love most: getting to know more dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs an afternoon walk, a house check-in, some extra company, or an overnight stay, I’d love the chance to spoil them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely excited to spend my days with four-legged clients. Basically, your dog gets a vacation, and I get to call it work! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! With two dogs of my own and years of fostering rescue dogs, I’m very used to building walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine. Since leaving my corporate job, I have even more flexibility to spend my days caring for other dogs- whether that’s walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight stays. I genuinely love having dogs around, so to me, my schedule can happily revolve around my pets’ needs. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for a pet. I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to understand their routines, personality, comfort level, and any specific needs before I care for them. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of space for secured off- leash play. I’m happy to accommodate crate trained dogs and special medical requests, to ensure your pets schedule, routine, and care, match their at- home needs.

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.

About: I have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals and have pet care experience through helping friends and family. I find genuine excitement in meeting new pets and being able to help others. Although I do not have a dog of my own, I do have a bunny that I have taken care of for the past 9 years and he means the world to me, so I have a great understanding of how these fur babies are much more than just pets. I am currently working part-time and do school online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I thrive in settings that may require adapting, and I am the kind of person to focus on my task at hand. I have relatively free mornings, where I enjoy being the most productive, but most importantly I am always willing to accommodate other people’s schedule when possible! When I care for pets, the most important factors to me are the pet’s safety and the owner’s boundaries. I find it very important that the pet is visibly content and safe, and if any issues were to occur, I understand the boundaries as a sitter. I care for and respect all pets the way I would hope a sitter would treat and respect my pet and routines.

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. :)

About: Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Very responsible and pet loving. Perfect opportunity for me spend time taking care your fur babies since I don’t have my own. I would love to play and take care of your pets. Walking whenever needed and lots of cuddles if they allow it. Available all week I have no pets in the home so your pet will be getting all my love and attention. I have a large fenced in backyard and enjoy long walks so outside time will not be missed.

About: I have experience ranging from fish, dogs, cats to even horses, growing up I used to pet sit/walk for family friends, neighbours and even at a family owned campground for local campers to enjoy a night out and have their pet cared for while doing so. I love long hikes, so if your furry friend is in need of that I have 2 years of experience with on leash and off leash hiking with dogs, or if your pet just needs some snuggles I’m happy to do that aswell! I spent 2 years working for an outdoor dog daycare gaining lots of hands on experience with training, socialization and regular dog care. I’m currently working part time morning shifts a few days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 8-12 other than that my schedule is pretty open! I like to do individualized care programs based off each pet’s individual needs, aswell as owner preferences. Because just like us, our furry friends have totally different likes and needs too 🙂
