Cat Sitting in Brockville

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. I currently share my life with my golden retriever, Sunny, who’s full of energy and loves playing at the dog park and swimming in the river. Caring for him has given me hands on experience with an active, social dog who thrives on routine, playtime, and plenty of attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets, offering walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. You can trust that your dog will be cared for like one of my own! Im currently working Monday-Friday 7-1pm so Im available for pet care from 3pm-9pm during the week and 7am-7pm Saturdays and Sundays. If you need care outside of those hours send me a message and I may be able to accommodate you :) I don’t crate my dog however I know they work great for most dogs. I have a large fenced in backyard and will always make sure your pet is safe and happy!

“Patrick has been wonderful with our dogs — reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. It gives us real peace of mind knowing they are so well looked after when we’re away. We truly appreciate his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker and pet caregiver.”

About: Animals have always been a part in my life since I can remember, including dogs, cats, and everything between. Pets aren't only animals, they are family and friends. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages and personalities, learning how to connect with them and understand what they need. Whether its playing, petting, or walking, I will make sure they are taken care of like they're my own. You can feel confident knowing they're in safe, caring hands. As a full time worker, it is still important to me that your pets gets all that it needs from being under my care. I am available before work, during my lunches, and evenings after to ensure quality time and consistent check ins. Caring for pets always starts with what the pet needs and the owner's wants. My caring techniques change between different animals and their differing personalities. My services include, but are not limited to, walking, feeding, playing, and spending time with your pet, all based on directions that you give. I will easily adapt to different household needs.

I am bilingual in both English and French. Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience, and I will gladly answer any concerns! Thank you! - Janie I work shift work so I am often available during week days, where I can help entertain your pet when you are away!

I want to make sure your pet is safe and happy and will ensure any rules or habits set by you will be followed!

“Jamie is fantastic! She met with myself and my puppy and he loved her instantly! She’s very attentive and goes above and beyond as a dog sitter. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”

About: I have experience volunteering and working at the animal shelter (OSPCA) and have cared for friends and family member’s dogs on many occasions. I am compassionate towards all furry friends and do not punish bad behaviour, rather reward good behaviour. I love to walk and play with the dogs I care for and make sure they are comfortable and happy! My often provided both day and overnight care for a former roommate of about 5 years, for her large breed dog. I have experience potty training my pup (she’s about a year old) and I would love to socialize her with your pets in preparation of pet sitting! I am excited to meet your furry friend and welcome them into my home and take care of them as you would while you're away to give you peace of mind. I currently work full time (7.5 hours/day; with flexible work hours). I have weekends off and enjoy spending time outdoors with my fur baby when we can! I am attentive and aware of furry friends needs and take precautions to ensure my home is safe for all! I have toys and beds for my furry friends!

About: My name is Emma , I’m 35 years old and a graduate of the police foundations program here in Brockville, at St Lawrence College. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 2 dogs, chickens & ducks. I’m an animal lover and have some extra time now and would love to walk/take care of your pets 😊 Please contact me if you’re looking for dog walking or pet sitting. I have 8 years experience walking dogs and pet sitting. I have 2 dogs myself, a boston/boxer mix named Larry & a whippet named Louie. They are very sweet and typically good with other dogs. Louie is not fixed & can sometimes take issue with other male dogs. That’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t offer boarding in my house. I currently have 2 steady clients but am always looking to expand, I keep myself available almost every day of the week so if you are in need of a last minute walk or sit I will most likely be available/ I can be pretty flexible to accommodate. I’m also doing house cleaning & looking to get some new clients there so if you happen to be in need of a cleaner or know someone that is please let me know! I have over 10 years experience cleaning & consider myself a very thorough cleaner. I can clean/pet sit if that interests anyone as well. 😊 I’m currently also working as an instacart shopper & do house cleaning, but do dog walkings midday and can work around my instacart/cleaning schedule to include more dog walkings/visits. I’m not offering boarding for dogs as I think it would be too much, already having 2 dogs myself. I am willing to do at home/overnight visits for anyone who is interested 😊

About: Long-time dog lover, first-time dog owner! But don't let that dissuade you. My experience with my dog started off as a big challenge (and I continue to work with him everyday!). I've learned a LOT about handling a strong dog- and I'm constantly rewarded with cuddles! I'd love to care for your dog as I do my own. If our dogs get along, I'm happy to facilitate joint walks (and off-leash if your dog is good with that), or play dates when I am taking care of your pup. Of course, we would make sure this is okay with all parties involved! I use tools with my dog, so if your dog is used to a slip lead, long line, prong collar, or eCollar, I have loads of experience with my dog and these things. I am self-employed and work from home. I set my own schedule, so I have flexibility in when I can care for your dog. Since I am out with my dog a couple of times per day, I can arrange to take our dogs out together (if everyone is okay with that!) My home is too small to accommodate more than my dog (I live in a tiny home!), so all care would have to happen at your house. I do have a dog-friendly car, and can crate one of the dogs in the car to keep them separated in transit, if I ever take them on an approved adventure.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life until now, from chihuahuas, cocker spaniels, Dalmatians, labs, golden and st Bernard’s I’m comfortable with all dog breeds. I am comfortable carrying large and heavy dogs if necessary, I can bathe and stay consistent with training as required. I work from home Monday to Fridays so I am available mornings, lunch and evenings for walks, drop ins and over night care. I am active and capable of walking for long distances, I also have transportation for pick up/drop off if required. We have a fence as in backyard with a pool - dogs will always be attended with outside to ensure no issues with the pool. Large front yard as well.

“Our dogs loved having her drop in. She was always on time and stayed for the full length of the drop in. Our dogs instantly gravitated to her as she gave them lots of pets and love. We were very comfortable having her drop in while we were away and would hire her again. Definitely recommended.”

“Katie was the best thing to happen to me and Mowgli. Having someone who cares so much about your pet takes away so much stress when travelling. She’s attentive and committed and had my somewhat not always social cat purring away with her. Highly recommend!”

“the cat is doing very well. I also had a neighbor who combed my cat. So I dont know how that affected what was done by Grace. I did not expect my neighbor to do so much.”
