About: I have worked with dogs in a professional setting at a doggy daycare and was able to experience a wide range of ages and temperaments. I can very effectively control a room full of dogs, even when there are aggressive, anxious, or antisocial dogs. I can clean up any mess, will do everything necessary to retrieve contraband from a dogs mouth, and am capable of correcting any undesirable habits if desired. Additionally, I have had my dogs for nearly my entire life. I have experience with doggies post-operation, medicating, giving IV fluids, doggy diapers, cleaning up accidents, and emergency situations. I love any type of dog and enjoy playing with them and keeping them active. I am well prepared for any situation regarding the health, wellbeing, and happiness of your pup!

About: Hi, I’m Meg! I've had dogs since I was a little child-- and have had dogs with strong personalities, seniors, rescues, reactive dogs, and fearful dogs alike. I'm also a regular at the Bell St Dog Park so I get to see all sorts of lovely pups and engage with them! I am self- employed and work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I generally prefer to keep my availability to 11-5 but if I get advance notice or have a good working relationship with a pet parent, I can work it into my routine differently! I prioritize making sure that your pet is taken care of based on what they are used to. Learning the rules of your home and what the pet is used to is key so they are not frightened or stressed! If a pet is on medication or on special diet I of course will keep to those rules. Adequate water, grooming, walking habits are key so the dog feels safe and comfortable-- I also work with clicker training if a dog feels comfortable with that (my dog had to learn this with reactive training on walks) For walks or in home play, I also have a small terrier who can be a good play buddy-- if your dog would like a friend for company we could test this out, but only if you are interested!

“Baeli was so awesome with our first meet and greet (Zoe and I felt very safe with Baeli and trusted her while we were out of town. She took extra steps to make sure Zoe wasn't too hott and refreshed her water. Thanks again! Looking forward to rebooking!”

“Happy Jack and I are big fans of Lydia! He tells me that he looks forward to seeing her at his regular walks and she makes him feel handsome and important! He loves it when she adds a bowtie to his get up, so that he gets extra attention from other dogs and people. He knows that she takes great pictures of him to send to his mom and even brings treats on walks to make them more fun. There could not be any dog walker in the world that is more fun, more caring, and more thoughtful than Lydia!”

About: While I'm new to professional pet sitting, I bring years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. I'm especially patient and attentive, with a calm presence that helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I've always loved spending time with animals. I'm currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to keep feeding, litter, walks, and routines consistent. I provide calm, loving attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: From naps to zoomies, I’ve got your pet covered while you’re away—snuggles, playtime, and the occasional treat included. They'll have fun while they wait for you to return. I'm currently working remotely with a flexible schedule, so my work can be adjusted to fit the pet's needs rather than the other way around. I strive to replicate your pet's regular routine and favorite play activities to the best of my ability, based on your needs and recommendations for your little loved one.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I am a university student and can’t be with my own all the time but I would love to help you out! I have a border collie and maincoone. Very accustomed I am a university student but have most weekends and mornings free as well as nights except 2 times a week after 6:30. I have transportation as well so easy for me to get around. I have my own car, licensed with a clean record and have a seatbelt harness for the car. I have house sat before many times and am very accustomed.

About: I had a very sick dog I took care of growing up and therefore know a lot about allergies and sicknesses. I also have experience taking care of my neighbor's and friend's pets! My dog currently does not live with me. I currently work freelance, so I have a lot of time and energy to give to your pets. I have a lot of free time. For me, my dog gets playing and walking time every 3-2 hours to have her energy and mental enrichment sufficed for the day. I also make fun puzzles for my dog to add on to the mental enrichment. I will do the same for your dog if you request!

About: As a dog owner myself I understand how important it is to give your pet the care and love it deserves. This includes walks (with plenty of time for sniffing!), playing, pets, and appropriate training. As a dog walker I know how important proper handing is, and I will make sure that your pet is polite on leash to other dogs, people, and squirrels! I'm a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Most of the time I'm working from home which makes me able to leave whenever is necessary to make sure your dog gets out for their potty break or walk. When visiting a client's home I make sure that I do not leave any dirt or foot/ pawprints inside. I want to make sure that your home is as clean as you left it which means that my shoes will get taken off at the door and I'll make sure your dogs paws are not dirty when we get inside. Additionally, when leaving I'll make sure that your pet has enough water and/or food in their bowl.

“From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!”


About: Available for dogs or cats, both those who are more comfortable staying in their own home/environment or looking to have a vacation in a pet-free home, contact me. I have a varying flexible schedule that allows me to be available during the day for walks, drop ins, or boarding entertainment for your pet while you are busy. I have an apartment but with plentiful green space and a dog park so regardless if you choose home drop ins or boarding, your dog will get plenty of outdoor time.

I would highly recommend hiring Crystal for your needs. She was promp and very communicative throughout the whole process. I was very hesitant at first being my first time using this service but doing a meet before hand really set my mind at ease. Not to mention my dog loved her. She kept me up to date on the walks and took some great photos. And she made sure my dogs food and water was taken care of before leaving as well.

We had such a great experience with Kimberly while we were away on vacation for four days this week. She took amazing care of our 10-month-old puppy, and we couldn’t be happier with the attention and love she gave her! Kimberly was punctual, dependable, and super communicative throughout. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos after each walk—it gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. She clearly has a natural way with dogs, and our puppy warmed up to her right away. Coming home to a happy, well-exercised pup made all the difference. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you! The Rebello's

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two pups! Annie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly adored my dogs. She followed all instructions perfectly and even sent updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend!
