Dog Sitting Cambridge

About: I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and for the past 10 years have been dog-mom to a special Blue Heeler/Husky. My dog was a very anxious and energetic soul, and I worked closely with trainers over many years to meet his needs and provide him the best home. I have worked with several specialized trainers and learned a lot about dog behaviour and needs. I am a very fit person, and have no trouble with taking dogs for long hikes or runs. I currently work-from-home, and have a lot of flexibility to care for pets. An important note is that I have a 5 year old at home as well, so any pets in my care at my house will need to be friendly with kids. I work from home, and have daytime and evening availability to care for pets. I also do a lot of volunteering in the community. Availability depends on what other responsibilities I have been booked in for in any given week. Advanced requests for care are best. My home has a fenced in backyard, and indoors there are baby gates that can keep pets off the stairs if needed. I have a crate in my home if needed. I am available to take dogs for walks from their homes within Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge.

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 10 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, so I’m pretty comfortable with all ages and their different needs. I honestly just really love dogs, I have one of my own too, so I totally get how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. I’m patient, caring, and I just try to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Right now I’m free every day and anytime because I’m on summer break from university. I could walk or visit your dog in the morning, afternoon or evening. Got it—here’s a version that fits client’s home only and still sounds natural: When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to feeding schedules, give fresh water, take them for walks, and spend time playing with them and keeping them company. I also pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need lots of activity, extra patience, or just calm companionship. I keep things clean, respectful, and make sure your home is taken care of as well while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and not stressed while you’re gone.
