“We would give Cheryl 10 stars if we could! She stayed with our two dogs for a few days while we were out of town. We received updates and great photos every day, she looked after the house well and clearly cared for the dogs as if they were her own, with plenty of engagement and walks. We will definitely use Cheryl again :)”
About: Pawsitively Experienced: Over 13 Years of Tail-Wagging Care. I bring a deep-rooted passion for providing the best experience for furry friends. From my early days, I've embraced the responsibility of nurturing dogs, creating a bond based on trust, care, and companionship. Our House is made specifically with dogs in mind with playground and areas specifically for dogs to enjoy their time and interact with each other. We have created a playground specifically for dog friend on our main floor and basement space. I have ample time in my daily schedule for frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and training exercises. My flexible hours mean I can provide the extra care and attention that puppies require during their crucial growth stages. Ensuring their happiness and development is a top priority for me. Puppies hold a special place in my heart, and I've structured my routine to accommodate their boundless energy and needs. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort and well-being whether they're in my home. In my own home, I've designated a cozy and pet-friendly area where they can feel safe and relaxed. I ensure they have access to fresh water, a comfortable bed, and plenty of interactive toys. For clients' homes, I meticulously follow their guidelines, maintaining their pets' routines and providing companionship while also attending to feeding, walking, and any specific care instructions. My goal is to create a seamless transition for pets, making sure they receive the same love and attention they're accustomed to. Located at Niagara-on-the-lake my home has a backyard and a lovely route to walk the dog around.
“Holly did a fantastic job. It made my vacation so much more enjoyable knowing my dogs were well cared for. Communication was very good before and while we were away. She sent me lots of pictures and videos. I could tell the dogs really liked her. All 3 of my dogs, 2 Newfies and a Border Collie cross, were happy and not at all stressed when I got home. I'm sure they are wondering where their new friend Holly is to give them lots of attention. The house was clean and all looked good. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.
“Lauren is wonderful! She was so careful with our 2 dogs, especially when they were trying to get to know her (one of them is very shy around new people) she took time and was not forcing her to be around her. She stayed in our home for a week and treated our sweeties like her own, gave antibiotics and other medications to one of them (teeth removal) without any problems. We looove that she is a vet tech. She was also very respectful of our home and we found it in a pristine condition when we came back. She was also sending updates and pictures every single day which was so great to see and not to worry about them. PS We were trying for years to find someone to take care of our pets because they mean to us way too much to just leave them with anyone and we are so happy and grateful for finally finding a trustworthy person with whom we can leave them, without having any worries or concerns about their wellbeing or our home. Thank you Lauren 🙏🏻❤️”
“Sadie took wonderful care of Annie & my house this weekend, as she always does. The pictures & updates were much appreciated! We look forward to many more visits from her in the future 🤗”
“Noelle took care of my dog Moe for about 10 days. She was fantastic! She took Moe on car rides (his favorite) and many walks, and kept me updated frequently with photos. Moe is very dog reactive and Noelle had no issues with him. She kept the house looking fantastic and was a genuinely amazing person! Moe and I will be repeat customers for sure :)”
“I provided Julianne a difficult situation. I recently rescued a stray that I've only had for three weeks. Shelby had a very hard life and was just getting comfortable in her new home. Julianne did an excellent job in developing a relationship. She relied on her experience fostering over 40 other dogs. I couldn't have picked a better person for the job! Shelby and I were both lucky to find her!”
“Laurie took amazing care of our beagle Lola. She made us feel comfortable leaving her in her care and was friendly and professional. Our dog Lola was absolutely in love with her and we could tell she has a special bond with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Absolutely recommended Remy 100%. I was so happy to come home and the house was clean, the dogs were happy. I sincerely appreciate this so much. I am so glad I found someone for helping me and I will definitely reach out to Remy as a first contract in the future.”
About: I have always been around different types of dogs and cats growing up. I currently have a one and a half year old puppy named Cooper. He is very friendly towards all animals and loves to play with other dogs. I have also learned to train dogs from a young age and am looking to help other people who need a place for their little pup to stay and play. I am currently working part time due to going back to college for accounting. With me being home 3-4 days a week I spend most of my time giving my puppy attention and taking him on walks around my apartment complex. It wouldn't be any different if there was an additional dog here. I currently have an extra bedroom that is Cooper's but I can give that room to the dog that I will be watching over if the owner is comfortable with that. We have a lot of space in that room for a crate and toys.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and truly believe they are part of the family, and should be treated as such. Growing up, I spent most of the time at the barn with horses, and in the home I had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, chickens, a turtle, tortoise, lizard, and even a tarantula! I started pet sitting during university, and when I moved into my own place I started fostering dogs with a local rescue. Through my fostering journey I have gained experience with training, giving medicine, and working with reactive dogs - just let me know in your booking request if any of this is required. I do not always show myself as available, but I am open to house sitting occasionally. Especially if I can bring my dog!… if you think I’d be a great fit for your fur family please message me so we can set up a FREE phone call or in-person meet & greet! Other animals? I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and open to caring for pets with behavioural issues. I am also very experienced and comfortable with horses & willing to look after most animals. Looking to drop off your dog for a few hours while you check out the wineries? I’d be happy to keep them company! As a teacher, I can be flexible with my work in the summer months. I am an active person, so I can guarantee some good long walks and hikes for your dog! Or, a good snuggle and play time for your cat! In my home, I have one large crate with a divider to fit most sized dogs if needed. My yard is not fenced, but it is big! Perfect for a quiet walk and playing or lounging on a secure long line. I have a baby gate to keep dogs out of the foyer, so there is no risk of escaping. For walks, I live on a quiet street and have access to trails. I am observant and very attentive to dogs and cats. So happy to play or cuddle depending on their personality and energy level. I live with my partner, who is experienced with cats and dogs. Rest assured, I will not leave your dog unsupervised with anyone else without your permission! I do have a male dog and cat in my home who both love other dogs. If your dog doesn't love the cat, they can easily be separated. My dog can read the room well and matches the vibe of his friends - he is happy to chill or play all day. If I am in your home, I will abide by all of your rules. Let me know if you need me to water plants, bring in the mail, or bring the garbage bins to/from the curb. And to keep your mind at ease - I'll provide lots of pictures and videos!
“Sam is incredible! She was so great with our boy Jagger and she left our home better then she found it. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for in home pet services and I am sure Jagger can’t wait to have her back again soo!n!”

“We are from Vars (20 east of Ottawa) and we needed someone trustworthy to look after our 14yr old female Jack Russell Molly because we went to a Keith Urban concert in Niagara Falls. Polina was attentive, considerate and kind and asked questions on how to make Molly more comfortable etc... I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Incredible experience! Our dog Watson warmed up to Heaven so quickly which is unusual for him. We felt comfortable and confident going out knowing he was in great hands.”
“We had the pleasure of having April stay at our house for two nights to take care of our dogs, and she was fantastic! April was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure our furry friends were happy and well-exercised. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our home was left spotless, and our dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend April to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: I really love dogs and cats. And every pet has their own personality. I love exploring their personalities and communicating with them. Building trust first and enjoy spending time together. I love cuddling and always attached with them. I am currently working part time and studying English . I am available for pet sit sitting 3 days in week which is Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Maybe some Monday’s. First of all I have to know about the pet which is I have to take care. What I have to be careful and avoid to do. I have to know home rules that I have to follow.
About: I’ve worked at dog daycare and boarding facility for 12 years. I’ve seen many different sizes, ages and breeds. I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing and giving medication to dogs. I got the job in the first place because my dog was going to daycare there and I truly believe that no one will take care of my animals like I do. I work at a restaurant at night so I have so much free time in the morning and afternoons. Boarding at my house is also an option as well. I do have three dogs with a huge fully fenced in yard. I love going on adventures with my dogs, and I’d love to bring yours along with me I have three dogs that have grown up around other dogs and love having visitors and friends come over. I also have a doggie door so they would have access to the fully fenced in yard in the back or to the house. I have a large kennel and a small kennel if they ever need to be crated at night or during the day
