House Sitting in Bedford

About: Je suis venu au Québec il y a environ 3 ans avec mon chien border collie. Un grand changement pour elle et pour moi, mais que nous avons bien maîtrisé. Je suis biologiste et pas seulement pour des raisons professionnelles, aussi souvent que possible dans la nature. J'essaie de faire des activités comme la randonnée, le jogging, le ski de fond, etc. aussi souvent que possible et de faire participer mon chien lorsque c'est possible. Être avec une plus grosse meute est d'autant mieux et il n'y a pas de place pour l'ennui. Pour moi, il est important de donner à mon chien, ainsi qu'aux chiens dont je m'occupe, suffisamment de variété et d'exercice, ainsi que suffisamment de repos lorsque je suis de retour à la maison.

“Je recommande à 200%. Maude a démontré une grande gentillesse et une grande bienveillance envers mon chat. Elle sait vraiment bien s'occuper de lui, la rassurer et jouer avec lui.”

About: Je m’occupe de mes deux bassets à la maison, j’ai eu un élevage pendant deux ans où la femelle basset originaire de la Bretagne m’a fait une très belle portée dont les chiots étaient tous en santé. J’ai gardé le dernier chiot son nom est Rocky il est très gentil. Avec mes deux bassets, nous nous promenons deux fois par jour petite balade du matin et balade de l’après-midi on sort souvent pour des sorties d’une heure, dont le parc à chien où nous aimons vraiment beaucoup socialiser, et se défouler, nous aimons les autres amis, car nous sommes faits pour vivre en meute. Si je me déplace, j’effectue toujours une surveillance d’hygiène, nettoyage des pipis s’il y a lieu et remise en état de la pièce donner la nourriture, puis s’assurer qu’ils ont toujours de l’eau, jouer et aller dehors et faire les soins routine, lavage des oreilles, lavage des dents, lavage du poil, brosser le poil et s’assurer qu ils sont en pleine santé. Cela fait partie de ma routine avec mes deux chiens.

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities my whole life, and I’ve also helped care for pets through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving dogs lots of affection and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I don’t have any major commitments right now besides pet care, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow owner instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to behavior changes, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to making both pets and owners feel comfortable and secure.

“I highly recommend him as a pet sitter! He stayed with our dog and two cats for 3 days and took excellent care of them. Our dog has separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him, but he quickly made him feel comfortable and well cared for. He kept us updated throughout the stay, gave all of our pets plenty of attention and love, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care he provided and would happily recommend him to others.”

About: Hi, my name is Lizanne, I am from Germany and currently doing Work and Travel in Canada. At the moment, I’m living on a farm with many cats and dogs, so I am surrounded by animals every single day. This gives me even more hands-on experience in caring for pets with different needs and personalities. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with many animals like cats, guinea pigs, a hamster and budgies, so I have a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals. I also have experience with dog walking and I know how important it is to give dogs enough exercise, attention, and love. My motivation to become a pet sitter is simple: I truly love spending time with animals. Since I am traveling at the moment, house sitting is a perfect way for me to combine my passion for animals with my lifestyle. I would be very happy to take care of your furry family members and give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Pet care easily fits into my routine because I am very flexible. Since I am doing Work and Travel in Canada, I only do part-time jobs and can easily adapt my schedule. I am happy to follow the owner’s preferences and daily routines so their pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. In a client’s home, I care for pets as if they were my own, always respecting the house rules and routines set by the owner. I am reliable, animal-friendly, and respectful of each home. Whether it’s house sitting, drop-ins, or dog walking, I make sure every pet gets attention, love, and proper care.

“I cannot find words strong enough to express my gratitude to Rachel. She has taken care of my dog with love and dedication. A wonderful, wonderful person!”

About: J’ai toujours eu un grand amour pour les animaux, particulièrement les chiens. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper d’eux au quotidien : promenades, jeux, alimentation et m’assurer qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Je suis une personne responsable, attentive et patiente, et je comprends l’importance de respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque animal. Avec moi, votre chien recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins nécessaires pendant votre absence. Je suis disponible pour m’occuper de vos animaux tous les jours de la semaine, avec des plages horaires flexibles selon vos besoins. Je peux faire des promenades matin, midi ou soir, ainsi que des visites à domicile pour nourrir, jouer et veiller au bien-être de vos compagnons. Pour toute demande particulière ou horaire personnalisé, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, je m’adapte volontiers pour le confort de votre animal. Chez nous, les animaux sont notre priorité. Nous avons une cour arrière sécurisée où ils peuvent jouer librement, et mes grandes filles adorent les animaux et participent aux soins et aux jeux. Chaque compagnon reçoit toute notre attention, notre affection et un environnement sûr et joyeux où il se sentira comme à la maison.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and always had a passion for dogs and animals in general. They are literally all treated like royalty :) I work full time remotely. That allows me to always be available for day walks and to supervise them and be available whenever the dog is in need of anything. My work is very flexible so I can play with the dog even during the day and not leave them alone I have a fenced yard and live close to a few parks. I never send the dogs out alone as I am always there to supervised, even if fenced areas
