“It was our first time leaving our Frenchie Lily with a sitter and Christine made the entire experience stress-free and comfortable. She took the time to learn about Lily and her personal needs. Lily had a great time and we definitely trust Christine to take care of our fur baby!! She sent us lots of photos and updates, that was really appreciated. Thank you so much Christine, I would recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking Christine again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication. Beyond dogs, I also have extensive experience with small animals, so I understand the unique care each pet requires. I truly love spending time with pets and giving them the attention they deserve. Plus, as a photography enthusiast, you can expect plenty of adorable pictures of your furry friend while they’re in my care :) I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I balance pet care with my part-time job, and my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the week to walk, play with, and care for pets. Morning, afternoon, or evening, I make sure every pet gets the attention and exercise they need. Being an animal lover, 100% of my time and attention will be devoted to your dog. I absolutely love all dogs and I want to make sure they enjoy their time with me! I have experience caring for elderly dogs and dogs with special needs, so you can trust that your furry friend is in good hands with me 🩷 I’m here to provide a safe, caring environment for them.

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

“Emma provided house sitting for my dog for a night, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She stopped by ahead of time even though it was a pretty last minute booking to meet my dog and make sure it was a good fit, and allow my dog to familiarize with her. My dog took to her immediately, which isn’t the most common as my dog can be a little standoffish with people the first time. During that time Emma was lovely to chat with, and my dog just wanted to play with her the entire time. Over the evening she watched her, Emma provided photos and videos of how things were going, and updates on behaviour, feedings, and potty breaks. Even went back to turn some lights on for me after I failed to mention that request earlier. Emma also left my home just as she found it, which was very kind. Would absolutely recommend her for your animal care needs.”

About: I grew up with animals around me while growing up on a farm. I love them, I respect their space and boundaries, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and loved ❤️ Available 7 days a week. Very flexible schedule even on the weekends. I typically spend my day taking care of my 3 cats with varying needs. I will respect your home and do my best to keep it clean and tidy while I’m there. I’ll make sure your pet is comforable, with plenty of play and exercise! I’ll make sure to clean food and water bowls, clean up their waste areas (litterboxes, pee pads, etc.), and give many cuddles if they're comfortable with me!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was six years old. I’ve had all types of dogs. My first was a Golden Retriever, then a Doberman, a, Shitzhu, a pitbull, and I currently have two 8-yr old Australian Shepherds. I’ve also had the pleasure of watching, training, feeding, playing, walking, hiking, checking in on many of my friends, family and neighbours dogs over the years. I’ve also had experience with shepherds, Chihuahuas, American bulldogs, and Dalmatians. I’m currently working part-time so I will be available most days before 10am and after 4PM. Otherwise, on weekends, I will be completely available for services. Calm and respectfully, I usually take them out for a good walk to get some energy out of them and then I like to feed and then play with them.

“Paige was wonderful with our rescue dog, Leo. She sent photos and kept me updated. The house was also left spotless. We will definitely use Paige again!”

“Isabella was a wonderful sitter! She clearly loves animals and was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She was very timely, communicated clearly throughout the day, and made sure to follow all instructions carefully. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing the dogs were in great hands. I would definitely book her again!”

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: Pets make every day better! We adore both dogs and cats and have been taking care of them for 8+ years. Robert has a strong and active American bulldog. He is great at taking bigger dogs on safe and comfortable walks. Suhaana has had pet dogs and cats all her life. Her strengths are showering them with endless attention, cuddles and care. We both enjoy running and parks and would love to take your pup with us! We have a spacious balcony in Waterloo, Ontario and are at home almost all day. We mostly study and work from home. From anxious pups to social butterflies and babies to senior dogs, we have experience taking care of all of them! Pet care is an enjoyable and very welcome part of our daily routine! We start our day with morning walks when we’re dog sitting to help dogs get their energy out and stay active. In the evenings, we take them on another walk to wind down and enjoy some fresh air. We are happy to accommodate additional walks. Throughout the day, we make sure every pup feels loved and cared for. We’re flexible with scheduling and available for last minute bookings. We live in a spacious apartment in Waterloo Ontario, with many peaceful trails nearby and in Kitchener. We also have a big balcony for your pet to play on. We are both active people and enjoy walks and runs.

About: I have worked with all ages of dogs, in many different sizes. I have given medication and provided additional care, such as baths and eye/ear cleaning. I am currently a foster dog parent with Full Circle Rescue! I’m currently working full time, but available after 2pm on Fridays and both days during the weekend. If able, I would also be open to making a home visit during my lunch break at work. I’m very instruction oriented, so any and all instructions given to me by owners will be followed strictly. I am very respectful of my clients personal belongings. I foster dogs as a volunteer and have been successful with all the dogs I have worked with!

“Ashley took extra effort to understand our dog’s needs, was communicative through the process and was a joy to work with. We felt completely at ease with her, and Forest looks forward to the next time!”
