“I had an excellent experience with this boarding service. They took amazing care of Goofy overnight, and he came back happy and well-cared-for. Highly recommend their services.”


“So thankful I found Caroline! My dog Misty had a great time with her and her dog Oisin. She has such a warm presence and warmth to her, and is very experienced with both dogs and cats. She provided me with many updates and pics during my dog's stay and was super accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She has a beautiful home and backyard - a dog's dream and her neighbourhood is filled with luscious greenery. Can't wait for Misty to stay with her again. Caroline was patient during our meet and greet and I could immediately tell my dog would be well cared for under her supervision. I highly recommend her!”


“Janett and Colin were great. The daily updates and pictures were reassuring. They checked in regularly on items of potential concern and they accommodated scheduling changes. I feel like they took excellent care of Fionn and didn’t even complain about his bad breath! I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.”


“Hey Jun!! We can’t thank you enough for taking care of our pup this week! We contacted Jun with fairly short notice for an upcoming 6-day stay, and she agreed to do a meet-and-greet with us on the very same day! (Talk about exceptional customer service). As soon as we met Jun, she was amazing with our pup, (and given that she doesn’t have a pup of her own right now, and our guy is a bit of an attention hog), we knew she would be the perfect sitter for us. Jun was extremely communicative with us, completely flexible when our plans changed (a little), and sent us lots of great pictures and videos throughout the stay so we always knew he was getting his exercise, his playtime, and all the love and attention he deserves. . . Such a wonderful experience! If you’re looking for an outstanding sitter who will give your pup PLENTY of LOVE and one-on-one attention. . . Jun is the perfect host! We will DEFINITELY be using her again, the next time we need someone to help us out. Thanks again Jun!! We were happy to be your very first client on Rover, but based on how well (and professionally) you treated us and our pup. . . we know we won’t be your last!! All the best!!”


“Cynara was amazing with Oscar. She was very conscientious and asked lots of questions about his care before the stay. And sent lots of updates while he was with her. I would not hesitate to book her again the next time I need a sitter”


“We had lots of pics and daily emails. We could see how much Charlie was being taken care of! We would absolutely leave Charlie with Arushi again. Thanks for taking care of Charlie!”


“Amelia was very attentive with my dogs, always in constant communication, and made sure to send lots of photos and updates. My dogs had so much fun and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again—highly recommend!”


“Second time leaving Coby with Sarah. He was very very happy when I saw him after 5 days ☺️. They sent plenty of pictures and videos and he even had a friend to play with. Thank you as always!”


“I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my puppy Charlie in the care of Ilana and Lambros, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. Ilana and Lambros not only provided excellent care but also kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. Their entire family, including their kids and their own dog, made Charlie feel right at home. It was evident that he was not just a guest but a part of their family during his stay. The care and attention they provided were exceptional, and it was clear that they genuinely love dogs. Charlie had a blast during his time with them, and seeing the photos of him playing and cuddling with their dog and kids warmed my heart. I would not hesitate for a moment to choose Ilana and Lambros again whenever I need someone to look after Charlie. They exceeded my expectations in every way possible, and I am so grateful to have found such wonderful dogsitters.”


About: Hi! I’m Joanna (JOJO) a certified, licensed and insured dog walker with a gentle approach and a deep love for dogs. I’ve been walking dogs (solo/small groups) for several years, helping busy families and individuals ensure their pets get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I’m currently completing a professional dog trainer certification and pet first aid training, which allows me to better understand each dog’s unique needs, sensitivities, and behaviours. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a calm and steady walk — I’ve got them. I offer premium, professional, eyes-on walks — this means I am fully present and attentive throughout your dog’s outing. My walks are structured and engaging, not just off-leash park time with minimal supervision. --- What I Offer 30$ - 1 hour walks (solo/small group) Regular weekday walks, with occasional weekend availability Calm, enriching outings that include basic manners and light structure Detailed updates with photos and notes after each visit Safe, positive handling — always with patience, respect, and care I take the time to build trust with each dog, respecting their pace and personality. You’ll never have to wonder if your dog was rushed or left unattended — I treat every pup as if they were my own. --- Certifications & Training Certified Dog Walker – City of Toronto Permit In progress: Professional Dog Trainer (Good Dog Academy) In progress: Pet First Aid Certification Fully Insured – Commercial dog walking coverage --- Let’s Meet I offer a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your dog — no pressure, just a chance to see if we’re a good match. Let’s connect so I can better explain my services and learn more about your dog’s needs. I offer two shifts of one hour each - (max 4 dogs each shift) Monday to Fridays 10 am and 12 pm Boarding and afternoons Dog Care also available When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where dogs are never left unattended. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any medications or special needs. I limit the number of pets I board to ensure each one receives plenty of one-on-one attention, affection, and supervision.

Joanna T.
“Absolutely thrilled with the care Joana provided for my dog, Nacho! From the very beginning, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know Nacho’s personality and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and most importantly—happy. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and kept me updated with messages and photos during their walks, which I really appreciated. Nacho came home each time calm and content, which says a lot about how at ease he was with her. Joana is not only reliable and punctual but also incredibly warm and kind. It’s such a relief to know that I can trust someone like her to take care of my dog as if he were her own. I highly recommend Joana to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive dog walker. She’s truly a gem!”
