About: I have taken care of animals and had the tasks of walking or pet sitting in the home for the past couple years. I am comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes and feel my skills that I have from owning pets myself will better allow me to watch your own pets. Throughout my time watching pets I have had a variety of aged pets and choose to adapt to their comfort level, such as playing fetch and walking on more challenging terrain with a younger dog, and finding a flatter and less busy trail/path for a senior dog. I am currently a University student here in Ottawa and the flexibility of dog walking in my schedule would be perfect! The ability to choose my own schedule allows for me to control my own hours while also maximizing the time I’m able to walk your animals. I enjoy walking on paths and non-busy roads which not only adds to the enjoyment of the walk, but your pets safety. Minimizing distractions for your pet while putting your pets safety and mine first. Within the area I have agreed to dog walk in are some great walking paths and parks that allow for off leash time if given the go ahead by the owner of course.

About: I’ve had a dog around my whole life, my family has owned 3 dogs in my lifetime, my husband and I had a beautiful chocolate lab who crossed the rainbow bridge way too soon at only 3 days past his 3rd birthday. We now have a 2 year old English lab. My absolute dream would be to open a dog sanctuary and let all the dogs live their best life. I’m currently on maternity leave so my days are pretty open. I would need to bring my 1 yr old with me for walks as my husband works during the day so if your dog is ok with strollers perfect if not I can put my son in the carrier. I have an energetic 2 year old english lab who loves to play with other pups, he’s like a family member to us and yours will feel like one too!

About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and respect for animals, paired with a calm, reliable presence that pets quickly trust. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means energetic walks for dogs or quiet love for shy cats. I’m detail oriented, communicative, and always ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. My experience includes senior pets, new borns, medication administration, and nervous animals who need extra patience. I treat every pet like family and take pride in creating a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and with my part-time work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I structure my days around their needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening playtime and cuddles. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. My home is pet friendly, clean, and fully prepared for furry guests, with a secure, fenced in yard perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and plenty of space to roam. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”

About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.
