“Melissa was absolutely amazing, this is the first time that I have ever left my little guy home with a sitter and she was absolutely amazing with him. She followed directions to a tee when it came to his meds and getting to know him I already have her booked for next Saturday. My little guy is my life and my heart and she took care of him like I would, she asked questions and she did absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Melissa for anybody who has fear, anxiety or stress over leaving their pets. Melissa gets five stars for me because she is a pet star in my book.”


“I highly recommend Joshua to anyone. He took very good care of my two fur babies. He cleaned up after them. One of my babies is just 7 months ,but he managed to keep up with her. I loved that he sent pictures of them and kept in contact throughout the days. My babies were very happy to have him there. Will definitely be having him watch them again! ?”


“Elena asked if her husband could stay over with her and we were happy to have them both. They were so amazing with Mordi. They stayed at our house for four nights, sent us pictures every morning without asking, and updates all throughout the day so we could see how he was doing. They were so responsive. Never had any kind of issue. Very happy to have had them there and would be very happy to have them come again. Absolutely recommend them. Thank you!! ?”


About: I’ve owned dogs since age 13. I don’t currently have any ATM. But trying to get my doggy fix. Dogs are wonderful. I’m blessed to be able to have an opportunity to possibly love on your doggies. Due to physical reasons I’m not able ti walk to dogs but able ti let them out. I currently work full time but I’m fully remote. So my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to come to your home to watch your dogs. Due to physical limitations, I am unable to walk your dogs. But I have 15 years experience with dogs, and I absolutely love animals. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced in yard. Your dog and I would be more comfortable at your house. But if that’s not an option I will make exceptions for coming to my home.

“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”

About: I have two small dogs Sora and Kira. 11 years old and 12 years old who are friendly, loving , and spoiled girls. With a good balance of snackos and exercises to maintain proper body composition and not get too fat. Clean healthy water and food is so very important for your pets health and we go above and beyond to ensure the best for our pets and yours. I treat every animal as if it is our family member and make it as fun for them as possible. I currently own multiple businesses in Sarnia and have the luxury of working from home now, which gives me the opportunity to serve our community with more hours. I don’t have a traditional job and I can work remotely from my cell phone most of the time. We treat all animals with respect and courtesy, following the outline in which you lay out for care. I don’t smoke and being healthy is important for vitality and life for myself and all of our pets. We never want an animal to go without necessary care that they are accustomed to.

About: * please complete your pet's profile and answer the questions below before submitting a booking request* We believe a tired dog is happy dog so your dog will taken on long walks (if they are physically able) and have off leash playtime in our large fenced backyard when boarding with us. We have pet gates to provide your pet with a quiet place if they need some quiet time to settle in. We will also make sure all pets are separated during feeding times. We have a 6 year old son, 2 dogs and a cat. Our dogs interact with other dogs regularly at dog parks and off leash beaches and love to play. We specialize in puppies and young dogs. We find that they fit into our lifestyle and match our dogs' temperaments. I work from home so I can accomodate most dog's routines. I rarely leave clients alone in my home. If I do need to be out of the home for more than 45 minutes I do discuss it with clients first. I have a large fenced backyard, baby gates to separate dogs during feeding times and I do not leave dogs together unsupervised. I also do not allow my child to interact with client's dogs unsupervised.

About: A little about me...mom of two young adults and 2 fur babies. I’m an animal lover through and through. I have been a pet owner, dogs primarily, since the age of 5. I’m reputable, clean, fun and full of love for the four legged friends. I live in Port Huron Twp. I am fairly calm but always actionable. I have a perfect driving record. I have cared for a number of pets in my years, including my own. I believe life wouldn’t be as enjoyable without dogs or other pets. I own a Newfie and a Pom. They bring light to our lives. Each of them have their own personalities and spunk. Schedules can be flexible but ideally pets are fed in the morning and eve. I offers snacks/treats if approved by the owner. Animals go to bed when we do which is typically around 9pm. We wake early and that means our guests do too. Naps are always an option. Lastly, an activity(s) are planned daily like walks, lick mats, games and on and on. We cater to your pets needs. We have a number of systems set up to keep everyone safe and yet have a great time. We offer special toys, bowls, beds, etc.

About: Hello, Im 18 years old, and just recently graduated hugh school. I am looking for a fun way to make money before I leave for college! Ive grown up taking care of dogs, and been around dogs since I was born. Ive always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks and watching them whenever needed. I cannot watch the dogs at my house, because my own dog isn’t friendly to other dogs, but i would be willing to come to you and dog sit/watch your dog whenever I am available to do so! I work in the mornings, but I am willing to get up early to let the dog out, and after work I would love to walk dogs! I also love working out, so taking your dog for a walk/run will fit perfectly with my schedule. I have a dog of my own, and I love teaching her new tricks and just taking care of her. If your dog doesn’t know very many tricks I would be willing to teach them simple things like sit and shake. I am available to walk your dogs as well!

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup.

About: I have been dogsitting for family and friends for 10 years. I work full time as a veterinary technician/Veterinary nurse. I love animals big and small. I will be working three 12 hour shifts, so I will have 4 days off each week. The days that I work will change from week to week. So just get a hold of me and we can work something out schedule wise. I have dogsat in the past. Some have had 1 dog to 5 dogs. I have watched dogs, cats, squirrels, chinchillas, and rabbits. I have a corgi, his name is Nugget and he is 3 years old. He gets along great with other dogs. So if your dog loves the company of other dogs, nugget could join in on the walks as well! I work three 12's but I am available Mondays, Thursday- Saturday! I do have a second job on the weekends and my own pets. So I would need to work around those priorities as well! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home but a clients home is perfectly fine! I do require meeting you and your pets prior to staying and require any behavior or aggression issues to be known.

About: I have been animal sitting since I was 16 years old. I have always grown up with animals in my household. I love all types of dog breeds, and i personally own two Pit-Bulls. I have dog sat dogs with medical issues and food aggression as well. While I do work full time I would never accept a pet sitting job if I could not provide ample attention to your fur baby! As a pet owner myself I understand the stress that is involved with leaving your animals in someone else’s care. Luckily I work and live in St. Clair so I am able to stop in to see pets or stay overnight with them without it effecting my schedule! Due to working at a restaurant if I take a long pet sitting job I will just schedule my work slots during that time to fit your animals needs! I always make sure to follow the owners rules to a tee. When letting dogs out, I always go out with them just to make sure that they are staying in the yard.
