meet your pet care providers

emily (she/her)
Business owner and primary pet care provider
Emily has been dog walking & pet sitting professionally since 2018, and launched Arlo & Company officially in 2022.
Nothing makes her heart happier than a strong bond between a pet and their person.
When she isn’t out adventuring with Arlo or a client pet, you can usually find her sipping a coffee (okay, gulping?!), and volunteering for organizations that she loves in Waterloo Region.
Her current fixations are: playing Pokemon Snap, ginger beer, and reading a mixture of fantasy & fluffy romance books.
Emily is fully insured by PROfur, and Pet First Aid trained.
john (he/him)
Pet Care Provider (independent contractor)
John grew up on a farm in northern Ontario, where he developed a love of the outdoors and its many inhabitants. He started taking care of people’s houses, plants and pets around 2003 and has met many interesting characters along the way!
When John is not pet-sitting you can find him cycling the back roads of Waterloo Region, birding in conservation areas, walking the trails of KW, volunteering, or reading in coffee shops.
John is fully insured by PROfur.


cynthia (she/her)
Pet Care Provider (independent contract)

sam (she/her)
Pet Care Provider (independent contractor)
Sam has worked in the pet care and grooming industry for several years in various capacities. She has experience with all types of dogs and absolutely adores all of them!
Growing up with dogs and cats, Sam has been an animal lover since they were a kid, and can’t think of a better way to spend her time than supporting family pets when their people are away.
Sam is fully insured by PROfur.


spenser (any pronouns)
Pet Care Provider (independent contract)
Spenser’s first word was “Dog” and her love for animals, plants, and nature in general has only continued to grow since then. Spenser has several years of experience working with a variety of animals and embraces life as an opportunity for continual growth and learning. In particular, she loves to research different aspects of animal care and learn new things from the pets, plants, and people they encounter.
In their leisure time Spenser engages in various hobbies including their other life-long love of singing and music, particularly choral music, as well as fibre arts, crafting, cooking, playing video games, taking care of houseplants, and scaring her girlfriend by identifying and eating a small variety of edible plants while out on walks.
Spenser is fully insured by PROfur, and Pet First Aid trained.
