House Sitting Embrun

About: Hi there! Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my experience. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had responsibilities and experience with dogs for over 20 years. They have always been my passion. I have worked in animal welfare at an animal shelter for several years where I also volunteered my time walking shelter dogs of all sizes, ages, behaviour concerns, medical conditions, etc, in my free time. I have also worked in the veterinary field for the past couple of years where I handle dogs everyday. I have completed many animal handling trainings throughout the years as well as continuing my own personal passion for learning about dog behaviour. I have read numerous books in dog behaviour, done many webinars on different topics, attended seminars and conferences on dog behaviour and plan on doing much more. I currently have three dogs that bring me so much joy and happiness. I am happiest outside spending time with dogs and would love to help you give the best care for your pet. My schedule is currently flexible so if there is something you are seeking that doesn’t fit in to my availability, please send me a message and we can try to work something out. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my biggest concern and will always make sure to keep them on leash and in a safe environment that they are most comfortable. I would love to discuss your pets needs with you as each pet is an individual and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to animals.

“Katie took care of our dog and stayed at our house for 4 days over March break. She took great care of Mondu and provided lots of updates. We are happy to have found such a great dog/house sitter and hope to book again with her!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Olivia care for my cat Nala, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to understand Nala’s needs and personality. During my time away, Olivia provided regular updates, including photos, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, Nala was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional cat sitter!”

“This was the first time that we had Jamie stay with our girls, and she was amazing. So friendly, constantly keeping us updated, and keeping our girls happy and occupied. We would absolutely book her again.”

About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by pets of all kinds, including some with chronic medical conditions, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to provide individualized care. I genuinely love animal company—sometimes even more than human company!—and I adapt my care to fit each pet’s personality, whether that means gentle, calm attention for seniors or playful, energetic engagement for younger dogs. I’ve also completed several professional pet behaviour classes with my own pets, so I understand how to help nervous or timid animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Every tail wag, purr, or happy snuggle is meaningful to me, and I strive to make every pet’s experience fun, comforting, and stress-free. I currently work a full-time job in healthcare, but am available on most evenings and weekends! I work the occasional shift work so am also available during the day at times. My services include walks & home visits to your house (either overnight or drop-ins). Due to my own pets, I am unable to take your pet to my house. I am a very clean and organized person and I would ensure to treat your house and space the same as I would my own. I will make sure your furry friends get the best experience I can possibly give, and tailor my care to your pet’s liking!

“Mala is an amazing house and pet sitter😊 My dogs were very well cared for while I was away. Both have minor health issues that Mala addressed beautifully. Mala , clearly, loves animals and I would have no hesitation engaging her in the future. 🙏🏻”

“Jennifer is a fantastic sitter! She knows how to put anxious pets at ease, not to mention anxious pet parents. She sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay. It was reassuring to see my babies so happy in all the photos and videos. It was also easy to see how much she loves animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer.”

I really appreciated the communication so that I could relax knowing my babies were well looked after. Thank you Ramona, you cared for our pups & cat like they were your own. Thank you!”

About: While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I genuinely love animals and take pet care seriously. I’m attentive, patient, and eager to follow instructions closely. I understand the importance of routines, safety, and gentle handling. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable, respected, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m able to plan my time around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to showing up on time and giving pets my full attention. I prioritize safety and responsibility at all times. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to pets’ behavior. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

“Johanne has a beautiful calm energy. My complicated Mr Squish sat with her on the first visit which says alot about her character. We look forward to her next stay which is already booked. Merci !!”

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
