House Sitting in Candiac

“Emma is the most loving and caring dog mom I know. She loves to spoil her golden retriever Gus with treats and toys, and loves to play and cuddle with him. She is very diligent in giving Gus any medication that he needs on time and isn't afraid to call the vet when something seems off and she wants a professional opinion. She is a very responsible caregiver and anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their pet.”

“Anja (and her sweet boy Paco) have quickly become my dog, Gizmo’s favorite companions :) Anja is courteous, kind, knowledgeable and a huge animal lover making her, truly, the perfect pet sitter :)”

“Weather it's for a walk, play time or overnight stays my dogs are always so excited to see Cristine. Grateful to call her a friend and excellent trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. Treating your dogs as if they're her own, Cristine gives all the love and attention. Long walks, car rides, snuggles up on the couch even a terrace or two. There's no doubt you'll have a hard time having your dog come back to you after a few days with Cristine - and that's said in the BEST of ways.”

“Vladyslava looked after my doggo for two weeks and took excellent care of him! He was spoiled with lots of tasty food and attention. She sent regular updates and photos. He will be very excited for the next time she watches him!”

“Très grand merci Kim pour ce dépannage last minute et d’avoir veillé sur mes zozos. Une belle personne de confiance et très sympa ! Je recommande et referais appel à tes services for sure !”

“Abril is wonderful. She took really good care of our 2 puppies and the house. She clearly loves dogs and they adopted her right away. I would highly recommend her. Sebastien”

“Wendy showed my girl so much love and attention, and kept me so up to date while I was away. Truly grateful to have someone so attentive to my furbaby!”

“J’ai vraiment aimé l’expérience avec Audrey. Elle adore mon petit Henri et le traite aux petits soins comme si c’était le siens. Toujours heureuse de l’accueillir chez elle. Je la recommande à 100 %!”

“Allisha looked after my two dogs for a week while I was away on holiday. She kept me updated with how they were doing and if they went on walks. As well as sending through photos cuddling and petting them almost every hour of the day.”

“Elaine has been a friend of mine for several years. She was the dedicated and loving human to her sweet dog Chanel for over 16 years until Chanel recently passed away. Elaine devoted herself to Chanel and gave her the best possible life. She regularly has cared for her neighbors’ dogs for a day or when they have gone on vacation for a couple of weeks. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend Elaine as you will not find a more trusting, responsible and caring person to take care of your fur baby.”

“Belle rencontre, Marcus l’a aimé dès notre première rencontre. Breanna a pris le temps de venir rencontrer Marcus avant le premier gardiennage, ça m’a beaucoup rassuré. D’une grande gentillesse et très ponctuelle. On voit facilement qu’elle aime les chiens. Je referai appel à ses services, merci Breanna.”

“Roy had a fantastic two weeks stay with Claudia! He was well cared for and lots of photo updates provided throughout the trip. The communication was great and she left our house cleaner than I did. Will absolutely book again for house sitting.”

“Brandon was our housesitter for our most recent trip. He took wonderful care of our 2 bullmastiffs and our senior cat. There are no words that can describe the quality of care that Brandon provided for our pets. He is extremely caring and knowledgeable and had a wonderful approach with our pets, that can be challenging. He easily adapted to their needs. Knowing that Brandon was staying with our pets, gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. We very highly recommend him and our pets are looking forward to spending time again with him in the future 😊”

About: Having dogs all my life and now managing a pack of four, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care that feels both rewarding and complex. Here are some insights from my experience: Understanding Individual Needs: Each of my dogs has their own personality, dietary preferences, and health needs. I’ve become adept at recognizing and addressing these individual requirements, ensuring each of my dogs feels loved and cared for. Routine and Structure: With multiple dogs, maintaining a consistent routine is crucial. I have a regular schedule for feeding, walks, and play sessions that accommodates the needs of all my dogs, promoting harmony and reducing conflicts. Training and Socialization: Training four dogs, especially at different ages or stages, requires a lot of patience and consistency. I've learned the ropes of basic obedience training and managing behaviors like barking or jumping, making sure to spend individual training time with each dog. Health Management: Keeping track of vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and regular vet checkups for four dogs can be quite the logistical challenge. I’ve developed a system for monitoring each dog’s health, recognizing signs of illness early, and managing any chronic conditions. Exercise and Play: My dogs have varying energy levels and play preferences. I ensure that each dog gets enough physical activity tailored to their interests, whether it’s through walks, runs, or specific toys for playtime. Emotional Bonding: Having multiple dogs allows for deep emotional connections. Each of my dogs offers unique companionship, and I’ve learned to build a trusting relationship with each, understanding their unique ways of expressing affection and needs. Logistical Challenges: Managing day-to-day life with four dogs presents its own set of challenges, such as traveling, finding pet-friendly accommodations, or even just taking all of them to the vet. I’ve become quite skilled at navigating these challenges efficiently. Financial Commitment: Owning multiple dogs means a significant financial commitment. I’m always budgeting for their ongoing needs, from food and healthcare to grooming and emergency care. Community and Support: Being part of a community of dog owners has been immensely helpful. Whether it’s for advice, support, or sharing resources, having a network of fellow pet lovers enhances my pet care experience. Personal Growth and Joy: Most importantly, having dogs all my life, especially multiple at a time, provides a profound sense of joy and fulfillment. It’s taught me responsibility, compassion, and the pure pleasure of unconditional love. Each day with my dogs is a learning experience, filled with moments of joy and the occasional challenge. I wouldn’t have it any other way; they truly enrich my life. Incorporating pet care into a daily routine involves thoughtful planning and a bit of flexibility. Here’s how I’ve managed to integrate the care of my four dogs seamlessly into my daily life: Morning Routine: My day starts early with morning care for my dogs. This includes feeding them their first meal and taking them out for a morning walk. These walks are crucial not just for their physical health but also for setting a calm tone for the day. Midday Check-ins: If my schedule allows, I try to check in on my dogs around midday. This might involve a quick play session in the yard, some cuddle time, or just ensuring they have fresh water and are comfortable. If I'm at work or away, I sometimes rely on a dog walker or a pet camera to keep tabs on them. Afternoon Exercise: After work, I dedicate time to more vigorous exercise with my dogs. This could be a longer walk, a trip to a dog park, or focused playtime with toys. This not only helps them burn off any excess energy but also strengthens our bond. Evening Wind Down: Evenings are for winding down. I feed them their last meal, and we have a gentle play session or a short walk to help them settle for the night. This routine helps signal that it's time to calm down and prepare for bedtime. Training and Grooming: I integrate training and grooming into our weekly routine rather than daily, unless something specific needs to be addressed. Regular grooming sessions are scheduled to keep them healthy and comfortable, while training sessions help maintain their manners and skills. Health Management: Managing their health is an ongoing part of our routine. I keep a calendar for vet appointments, medication schedules, and preventive care treatments to ensure nothing is missed. Quality Time: Beyond just the necessities, I make sure to spend quality one-on-one time with each dog every day. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, or practicing new tricks, this time is precious for maintaining our emotional connection. Flexibility and Emergency Preparedness: I always try to remain flexible in my routine to accommodate unexpected issues like a sick pet or an unplanned vet visit. Having a plan for emergencies, including a pet emergency kit and saved vet contacts, is a crucial part of our routine. By integrating these activities into my daily schedule, I ensure my dogs are healthy, happy, and well-integrated into my life. It’s about balancing their needs with my own and making sure that caring for them is a joy, not a chore. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensuring safety, trust, and a suitable environment is paramount. Here's how I approach each aspect: 1. **Safety**: My primary concern is always the safety of the pets under my care. At home, I ensure that all areas accessible to pets are secure and free from hazards, such as toxic plants, unprotected electrical cords, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also use child-proof locks on cabinets containing cleaning supplies or medications. When caring for pets in a client's home, I conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify and mitigate potential dangers, and I familiarize myself with the layout so I can prevent pets from escaping or getting into unsafe areas. 2. **Trust**: Building trust with the pets I care for and their owners is crucial. I achieve this by maintaining consistent routines and handling all pets with patience and respect. I make a point of learning each pet's likes, dislikes, and any unique behaviors or needs. This helps me to interact with them in a way that is comforting and reassuring, which is especially important in a new or unfamiliar environment. Communication is also key—I provide regular updates to pet owners to assure them that their beloved animals are happy and well taken care of. 3. **Environment**: Creating a welcoming and comfortable environment is essential for any pet’s well-being. In my home, I have designated pet-friendly spaces where pets can relax and play safely. These areas are equipped with toys, comfortable bedding, and ample space to move around. When I’m in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the environment they’ve set up for their pet, following any specific instructions they've given me regarding feeding, play, or relaxation areas to ensure consistency for the pet. 4. **Adaptability and Responsiveness**: Every pet has its own personality and needs, so being adaptable and responsive is vital. If a pet seems anxious or behaves unusually, I take immediate steps to address their discomfort by modifying the environment or my approach to their care, consulting with the owner if needed. By focusing on safety, building trust through reliable and compassionate care, and ensuring a pet-friendly environment, I ensure that the pets I look after are safe, happy, and healthy. This holistic approach has helped me establish lasting relationships with the pets and their owners.

“Cory a gardé mon chat plusieurs fois lorsque je devais m’absenter pour le week-end. Elle est adorable et prend bien soin de mon chat Tigrou qui l’adore. Ce que j’aime bien avec elle c’est qu’elle ne fait pas juste le surveiller à la maison mais elle trouve toujours des activités extérieures à faire.
