Hoping to meet some playmates for Benji here to keep him company and vice versa. Ulterior motive so I can get some Me time! Cheers!

Otis
Toronto, ONBreed: Mutt
Weight: 15 lbs
Age: 9 years old
Gender: Male
Hi. My dog is named Otis, and he’s very chill, affectionate, good around all dogs, (and respectful of cats). He has no prey drive. My name is Zan, and I’m home most of the time. I have a degree in Behavioural Science, and I strongly believe that all dogs are good, and just need to have a safe and stimulating environment, and a person who can learn how the dog communicates. Punishment is never ok, and positive reinforcement should be given freely. I’m a night person. I have some arthritic and connective tissue disorders, but I always walk my dog at least 45 minutes a day (if not 1.5 hours), through the residential streets and to the local off leash. I allow him to sniff, and be autonomous—it’s his walk, not mine.

Hi my name is Billie and I am a dog trainer! My specialty is separation anxiety so I know how tough it can be to leave your dog alone sometimes. My own dog is old and doesn't love being left alone for longer than 3 hours so it would be nice to swap care with other people in the area. My husband is also a big dog lover. We also have pet rats but they have their own room and are kept separate from dogs.

Mia
Toronto, ONBreed: Mixed Breed
Weight: 45 lbs
Age: Puppy (less than 1 year old)
Gender: Female
Hi there! My dog Mia is a 6 month old mixed bulldog. She is so sweet, loving and affectionate and wants nothing more to hug-and-be-hugged. She is very playful when the other dog is willing and will submit when she is sensing anxiety from another dog or animal. Mia is almost the perfect dog, minus some stubbornness in her walking- I am convinced she thinks she’s a human and wants to have some say in our daily walks! Mia has completed 18 weeks of puppy school and is pretty well trained; her next training will be as a Therapy Dog! She is very treat motivated and loves to sleep! She truly is a joy and I would love for others to get to experience her as well- I would also love for her to make some friends for potential future playdates!

Riley
Toronto, ONBreed: Havanese
Weight: 20 lbs
Age: 15 years old
Gender: Male
Dog mom to Riley for over 15 years! And you wouldn’t be able to tell he’s over 15 unless you try talking to him and he ignores you because he’s mostly deaf ;). He’s still got a lot of spunk…can jump on and off the couch and loves to go outside for walks. He’s a very low maintenance dog. He sleeps through the night as long as he gets to sleep with someone. But he doesn’t crowd you. He loves treats. And while he has a heart condition you’d never know. He has one pill in the am and once in the pm and takes it easily when it’s wrapped in a small piece of processed chicken :). He’s the sweetest little munchkin! As for me, I’m retired so I spend a lot of time at home or going for extra long walks. I generally walk 7km a day but obviously not with Riley. lol. I’ve had dogs all my life and tbh I think I like dogs more than humans lol. In my spare time, when I’m not traveling the world, I volunteer with the Toronto Humane Society and want to take home every dog I see! Definite job hazard. Lol

Hi there ! I'm Karen and I wanted to introduce you to Addy and Marilyn my cat. I travel a few times a year And know others do too. Would love to connect to help each other out and take good care of our furry family members. Addy takes a while to warm up to people, although I got her when she's around 9 months old I'm her second family and not sure what happened previously. She loves walk and having her ball thrown for her. She's unsure about kids, especially when they bounce balls near her she will let them know. Addy is really smart and knows a lot of commands including cuddle if you're lucky enough to get one once she's comfortable :).

A perfect big sister to smaller dogs, she’s also up for a friendly wrestle with bigger pals — always gentle, never biting, just offering more kisses. After four years together, I can honestly say she’s the best dog you’ll ever meet.
