House Sitting in Brockville

“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.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the years and always develop a good rapport. I look forward to meeting your pet and its needs. Especially love to get out walking. Retired with flexible schedule. I can accommodate your scheduling needs. Early morning or late evening walks are not a problem, just let me know what works best for your pet. I have a large backyard that will give your dog plenty of room to get comfortable. If I'm coming to your house you will find everything just as you left it.

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.

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.

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, my chickens & duck. 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 😊

“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.”

I offer training, obedience, potty training, grooming, walking, mental enrichment and much more. I have registered daycare/boarding experience as well as canine first aid certifications.

I am strictly a force-free trainer with positive reinforcement ONLY. We play a lot of enrichment games and even have a kiddie pool to relax in.

“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”

About: I am a super active person! I love to go to the near by park but will do anything to accommodate your dogs’ needs. I have had my own dogs my whole life, including rescues that had a lot of behavioural issues. I know how to deal with a dog of any type no matter how easy or difficult they may be in the most loving manner. I work shift work that consists of 4 days working in a row and then 4 days off in a row. I have two cats at home that I love so much. They typically mind their own business when dogs are around! I am very much for open communication between us on anything and am looking to develop awesome relationships with you and your fur babies! I work full time, 4 days in a row and then have 4 days off in a row! I like to spend my spare time with my own pets, taking care of others’, being active, playing sports etc! My place is clean, tidy, and safe for all pets! I am very attentive to their needs and behaviours. | | | | | |
