House Sitting in Brockville

“Josephine stayed at my house while I was away for a 7 day trip. The dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I returned which shows how happy they were while in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Meg K.

“Jennifer and Alex were very attentive to Harley and Oscar while I was away. They updated me regularly with pictures and texts reassuring me that both were fine. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I certainly plan to hire them again through Rover.”

“Robynn was great! Our pup was a little sick while we were traveling and she took such good care of her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Jason went above and beyond to take good care of our home and 14 week old English Setter Puppy. Just after committing to a puppy, we had the opportunity to visit France with our daughter, and visit our granddaughter. We really wanted to go, but only if we could find someone super reliable to take great care of a puppy and continue the training we started. Jason came to meet us before we booked him and put our minds at rest. He sent us daily updates during our week in France so we were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful trip. Should you need a pet sitter, and Jason can do it, do not hesitate!”

About: I’m a Mom of 3 college age kids with the time to now dedicate to my passion for taking care of dogs. I’m also a dog Mom who adores my 4th baby, a lovable golden doodle. I trained her myself and she always receives compliments on how well behaved she is. My clients are always satisfied with the attention to detail I provide when caring for their special pups. I work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and I do offer pet walking services on weekends. I love to be outdoors and walk, so I can provide extra walking time if your pup requires it. I can come to you and your neighborhood, at your convenience, to offer dog walking services. I can stay extra time to provide extra special attention depending on the needs of your pups.

“Carlene is awesome! She is kind, conscientious, and a great communicator. She sent us photos of our dog each day and she paid close attention to him. We’re so glad we had her as our sitter and will use her again.”

Richard L.

“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”

My lifelong passion for animals, combined with years of practical responsibility, as well as the knowledge that every pet is unique and has different needs, ensures compassionate and reliable care for your furry friend(s). I am fully available to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether for routine walks, extended sitting, or last-minute care. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide undivided attention and tailored care throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and dedication as my own, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while in my care. - **Fenced-in yard** (secure and escape-proof) - **2 friendly small dogs** to play with (socialization opportunities) - **Daily walks** in a safe, quiet neighborhood with plenty of other well-trained dogs - **Lots of toys and treats** (including puzzle toys for mental stimulation) - **Indoor potty pads available** if needed (for puppies or senior dogs) - **Comfy dog beds & cozy resting areas** (with blankets & cooling pads for hot days & heating pads for cold days/the comfort of senior dogs) - **Bathing/grooming station** (for muddy paws or quick freshen-ups) - **Separate feeding areas** (to prevent food aggression or special diet needs) - **Training reinforcement** (basic commands or fun tricks upon request) - **Customizable stay options** (e.g., extra cuddle time, one-on-one play) - **Nearby vet access** - **Nearby Fenced-in dog park** (safety options for little dogs and bigger dogs) - **Optional Report cards/photo updates** (daily pics or notes about pet’s day) Any special requests or restrictions will need to be discussed beforehand for the comfort and peace of mind of you and your pet(s)

About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

“Leah was great! Our animals really liked her, she took great care of them, and kept the house clean. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of animals as I grew up out in the country. I have experience walking huskies to puppies and have some experience training dogs as well. I am currently taking a semester off of school so I have a very open schedule and would love to spend sometime taking care of some cats and dogs! I can adapt to each pet individually whether they need an energetic companion for walks and play or a more calm demeanour for when taking care of cats.

“Emily was fantastic with Arlo! She came and met him in advance, and was not deterred by his puppy excitement. She had great communication and the home was well kept for the stay! We look forward to now having such a trustworthy sitter for Arlo.”

About: I've been caring for a variety of animals my whole life and have owned cats and dogs my whole adult life. I've recently been given the honour and opportunity to raise my Rottweiler puppy. I have spent countless hours researching best practices and would love to help with exercising your puppy pal. I hike, walk, beach and do whatever you need for your four legged family. I've had experience administering medication and providing special needs. I am currently working part time and crafting but would love to be caring for animals full time eventually. I'm happy to work any day and transport pets to preferred walking and caring spaces. I prioritize quality enrichment. My walks with my own dog are very much for him. He's welcome to sniff as much as he wants. I am capable of following any and all direction about your dog to stay as close to the quality of your own care as possible and give your dog the best experiences I can.

“She got along really well with my dog. She is so attentive and took great care of Miranda! We can't recommend her enough—she is amazing and went above and beyond!”

About: I love dogs! I have experience taking care of big and small, well and not so well behaved dogs : ). I have a private property for ball throwing and running around. I work at home so I have the time to care for your dog. My main reason to do this is because I love pets but I am not ready for my own again just yet. I work from home full time! I would be able to give your dog walks before work, lunch, and after work. I’m open to special needs. I have 10 acres. It’s not fenced but has a treed border. I would have your pet at my home. I don’t have any other pets or children in the home.

About: My name is Emma , I’m 32 years old and a recent graduate of police foundations here in Brockville at St Lawrence College. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 3 dogs, my 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 dog sitting. I have 5 years experience walking dogs and pet sitting. I have 3 dogs myself, 2 boston terriers (Dexter & Larry) and our newest addition: a whippet named Louie. They are all very sweet and good with other dogs. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you are interested in my services! I currently have 3 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 currently am working as an instacart shopper & a housekeeper, but do dog walkings midday and can work around my instacart/cleaning schedule to include more dog walkings/visits. I am currently not offering boarding for dogs as I think it would be too much, already having 3 dogs myself. I am willing to do at home visits for anyone who is interested!
