For the love of a Dog

Like all good origin stories, mine starts with a dog. After I adopted my prince, Winston, in 2015 I realized that I had an unmatched passion for working with dogs.

Ever since, I have been providing thoughtful and loving pet care, on a part time basis, throughout our travels in Canada. In 2021, Winston and I settled back home in Hamilton, ON and have been offering that same great care on a full-time basis!

I pride myself on my patience, kindness, and competence — and my clients would agree. It’s why so many of them trust me with their precious pups repeatedly!

If you are looking for your dog to get the 5 star treatment while you're away for the day, let's connect!

Caitlin Copland

Owner, Dog Trainer, & Primary Walker

I have been working with dogs in some capacity for my entire life; whether it was training my family dog at 8 or working on silly tricks with my own pup. I take individualized care for all the pups on my roster very seriously and I am the primary walker for any clients that have concerns around reactivity or specialized walking needs.

Polly Shevchenko

Social Media Manager

I came to Canada from the Ukraine when I was 18 and now have a beautiful (spoiled) goldendoodle, Chester! My main job is photography and social media management but, I have been walking and dogsitting part-time since moving to Canada. I love dogs and always want to spend more time with them!

Heather Gaunt

Dog walker extraordinaire

I have always been around dogs! Whether it be family dogs, friends, or my own dog, I love spending time with pups. My love of animals is what inspired me to attended college for Animal Care. I have cared for all sizes and types of dogs including deaf, reactive, & aggressive dogs. I hope to build a special bond with all the pups I meet!

Morgan Balicki

Dog walker extraordinaire

I have loved and cared about animals my whole life. Growing up, my family rescued a German Shepherd and my love for dogs has grown since then. I am currently too busy to have a dog of my own so, walking and caring for your adorable pups really fulfills me.
I’m very patient and gentle, with the energy and personality of a golden retriever.
I always look forward to my walks and interactions with all of your sweet fur family members!

Andy Manica

Dog walker extraordinaire

I have had cats since I was young and I have walked and taken care of friends' dogs throughout the years. I am patient, attentive, and want animals to have the best experience possible with me. I'm excited to meet your pups!

I am also a painter and tattoo artist, I love to ice skate, paddle board, hike, and play softball!

Michelle Lapierre

Dog walker extraordinaire

I’ve loved animals my whole life! I grew up with a dog and spent a lot of time training him, which sparked my love for working with animals. Now, I have a cat who keeps me on my toes, but I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and excited to build a bond with every pup I meet!
