Dog Walking Orillia

About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.

About: I love animals but have no fur babies of my own. So I really enjoy showering other people's pets with all the attention and scritches I have to give! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs; from chihuahuas to newfoundlands, puppies to seniors, beautiful mutts to regal standard poodles. I am self employed and typically don't work while I'm pet sitting, which gives me lots of flexibility and frees up my time for your fur babies. I stay with animals in their homes so they feel the most comfortable they can while their people are away. I'm fine with animals sleeping in bed with me if that's what their used to as well.

About: I have cared for cats, dogs and horses throughout the years since I was 5. I will treat your beloved pets with great care and kindness in your home. I am retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I am looking forward to meeting your pets to help them feel happy, safe and looked after when you are not available to them. I am interested in learning how you want your pets cared for so they are not stressed by big changes. Your directions for your pet’s management are what my goals will be!

“Thanks for being so patient with Walter. I know he is warming up to you.& still getting used to the neighborhood. Maybe he will actually go around the block next time!”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my entire life, we have never not had a dog in the family! We currently have large breed dogs that are treated like our own children. I have raised a couple of litters and work with my own dogs on behavioral training frequently. Since my own dogs have another home with my parents and are frequently visiting them, my friends have been asking me to house sit and take care of their dogs for years. I love providing my clients’ pets with comfort and care while their humans are away! I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule I can adjust with enough notice, but please know that for house sitting, I may be gone for up to 8 hours on a weekend day. I am happy to make small adjustments as needed to accommodate your pets care needs. Most of my friends’s dogs either sleep with me in bed, or on their dog pillow next to the bed (I love when they can sleep in bed with me!). I can accommodate feeding schedules, and can administer medication if needed. If the weather is nice, we can go for a walk or play in the backyard so your pup is getting some attention and exercise. I absolutely love to snuggle with pets, and can guarantee they will be loved on and paid attention to, especially at the end of the day when we are winding down for bed.

“Hired Brooklyn to walk my dogs so they could get to know her before she house sits for us. She is dependable and even researched how to handle timid dogs as my rescue we just got is very timid. Highly recommend her!”

“Kalie was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient with them as they can be a handful on the walk. She provided photos and updates on each walk. I trust Kalie with our pups and will definitely hire her again! Thanks Kalie.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that caring for dogs is a full-time commitment. My experience ranges from managing active outdoor dogs to raising and training new additions to the pack. I specialize in teaching foundational behaviors and ensuring every dog feels confident and secure in their surroundings. ​I am dedicated to creating a safe, structured environment where your pet can thrive. Whether it’s managing high energy or providing a calm space for relaxation, I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I’ve practiced since childhood. Pet care is a natural and seamless part of my daily life. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings or evenings. Whether I am hosting at my place or visiting yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and consistent routine that minimizes stress for your pet. Regardless of the location, I emphasize clear communication and will send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is settling in.

“Brandon did an amazing job on my first dog walking appointment with him for my new rescue dog Boo. He was super flexible and friendly and I could tell that he has a lot of experience around dogs. My dog happily went along with him, and the overall experience was awesome. He also shared some really helpful tips for a new dog owner like me. I look forward to utilizing his services on a regular basis.”

“Jeannie was so great! I had booked someone to walk my dog about 3 weeks before my trip but they had to cancel last minute for a family emergency. Jeannie responded to my request right away and did the meet and greet the next day. She was so good with Ollie and sent videos and pictures! He had so much fun”

“Shelli is such a good friend to Dante! She is very considerate and easy to work with and Dante always has such a great time. He loves his daily walks! Thank you, Shelli!”

About: Vet clinic experience, lover of all animals at all life stages! In my care, they will receive patience, enrichment, affection, and love. I will make sure to heed your instructions about training things you are working on so your pet has continuity, and any other special care they need. Fun fact: I have 20 years as a spa therapist so I am a great person to give touch therapy to your babies 😀 I own a local day spa and work from home mainly. This means I am nearby always. Helping with walks and grooming, I will make sure to keep your fur love entertained and exercised to their level of normal routine. I will take your spot in their routine so your pet is less stressed while you are out for the day. Whether its a potty break, a quick stroll, some cuddle time, or a car ride to the park for burning some energy, your baby will be sure to trust their new "aunt Jamie"

About: I’ve been a vet assistant for 3 years with a medical clerk license. Have experience with vaccines, medications, medical terminology, anatomy and equipment such as x-rays, ultrasounds. Worked in a small practice under an amazing veterinarian and eventually moved forward with her to now, currently working at our local humane society. I have been apart of galas raising money for our fur babies to pop up vaccines clinics in the low income communities. I’m currently looking to step away from full-time work at where I’m currently working to go back to school to become an esthetician. Looking for more part-time work to be able to focus on my studies while providing for myself. Like humans, no 1 persons needs are the same. Some require just a daily dose of cuddles while others seek after care from surgeries. At the end of the day animals deserve the same respect and care regardless of what their journey looks like. I love taking dogs on walks to enjoy the fresh air as well as simple grooming needs, to enjoying some downtime while we watch a movie together.

“Jordan was quick at communicating, sent lots of updates and pictures. Thank you for taking care of Lulu and making sure that she had a great time.”

“Maya loves Kaelyn’s visits. She gets to chase tennis balls and practice leash walking skills too! We’re delighted with the care she receives and won’t hesitate to book Kaelyn in the future.”

“Patrick was fantastic with our dogs. He was incredibly patient with them and won over our pups who are normally very wary of strangers. He was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to any messages. Would highly recommend him for your power care needs.”

“Thank you for being available last minute! You're the best”

About: Hi there! I go by Jackson (previously also gone by Esther), and I have been taking care of pets my whole life. Now I live on my own and would love to care for your sweet pet! I am able to handle very large dogs and am comfortable with cats as well. I grew up with 3 large dogs, and I now have a large dog of my own. I am free most week days, so I am flexible and able to work with your work schedules. I do work early mornings most days, but that won’t stop me from giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. The happiness of animals is so important for me, and I hope to be able to meet your lovely pets! I foster dogs through a great organization so I know how to care for dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I am currently looking to house sit, take care of your pup in my own home, or walk your dog on weekends! I have a sweet dog who loves a playmate, and we'd love to keep your dog company while you're away for a night or two! See my calendar for most up to date availability. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible while you're out. Whether playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I'd love to take care of your pets to your and their liking.

About: Thanksgiving: available in Seattle! Hello! I'm Deanna. I'm passionate about cultural exchange and managed study abroad programs for a long time before shifting into Project Management. I've also lived abroad for 3 + years, two years in Spain and one year in Brazil (plus extended sojourning in Chile and Guatemala).​ I grew up outside of Yosemite National Park which was a great foundation for a love for being outdoors. I enjoy yoga, learning, and exploring! I've cared for many dogs and cats, as well as rodents and a bearded dragon! My initial experience was caring for my childhood dog, cats, hamster, and rats. In recent years, I've cared for dogs and cats of friends and acquaintances, as well as guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I've done quite a few sits on other pet sitting sites in the last couple years, below are a few reviews: Jennifer: Deanna’s calm and friendly demeanor immediately set my dog Max at ease. She sent daily photos and text updates that clearly showed he was a happy pup while I was away. The house was clean and tidy upon my return. I highly recommend Deanna! Desiree & Andy: Deanna was an excellent sitter for our dog Minnie. She sent pictures of the 2 of them going on adventures all over the place! We were very happy with the care Minnie got and we would definitely ask Deanna to housesit again! She is responsible, a good communicator, and an all around nice person. Trisha: Deanna was absolutely wonderful to work with for a sit with my two dogs. She was thoughtful and planful leading up to the sit and communicated well throughout. The dogs were happy and the home was clean when I returned from my trip! I would love to have Deanna sit anytime. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility to navigate your existing schedule with your pets around my work schedule during the week. Weekends offer additional flexibility. I know how important it is to find someone who will care well for your pet and take good care of your home! I do my best to give the pets as much care and attention as possible and leave the home in order as well.
