About: I have had a dog for 12 years who was reactive. It gave me a lot of experience looking after animals who need a little more attention and care. I have also looked after dogs and cats for close family and friends. I currently work part time and have a lot of free time during the week. This would be great for individuals who need pet care while they are at work. I live in an apartment which is pet friendly and I ensure to never leave the animals alone or in a situation that could cause them to become hurt or severely injured.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always aspired to work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, and cats with every personality, from aloof and sassy to cuddly and energetic. My love for animals has always been a constant in my life and continues to grow every day. I currently have 4 cats of my own and have extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple animals at once. I’ve fostered three litters of stray kittens, as well as a new mama cat who had just given birth and was found in a shed. Each of my fosters ended up becoming “failed fosters,” which is how my little cat family grew. I’m also the trusted friend for pet sitting and animal advice, often the first call when someone needs help with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I work full time, but I am fully committed to providing attentive and reliable care for your pets. I am available for visits and care in the evenings after work on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends. On weekdays, I can ensure consistent evening check-ins, feeding, playtime, litter care, walks if needed, and any other routine your pet is used to. On weekends, I have open and flexible availability and can dedicate more time for extended visits, extra attention, and maintaining your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away, with dependable care built around their needs. I focus on maintaining a calm, safe, and familiar environment so pets can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their routine is preserved. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter care, medication administration, walks, and any specific preferences each pet is used to. I am very attentive to behaviour and comfort levels, and I adjust my approach based on each animal’s personality, whether they are shy, independent, or highly social. I also prioritize trust and communication, providing updates and making sure pet parents feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in their own environment so their routine feels as normal as possible.

I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Very responsible and communicative and not intimidated by dogs with particular needs. Our senior dog requires timed medication, specially prepared food and can be quite grumpy. Ashley took it all in stride and our dog quickly took quite a liking to her (which is quite rare!). We are never worried when we are away, as we know that Ashley is in top of things and will ask questions if needed and gives great updates. Thanks Ashley!

About: Hey! I’m a dog owner to a medium-sized Bull Terrier named Ella, and I take care of her daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping her routine consistent. I also occasionally walk dogs and cats for my neighbours, so I’m comfortable handling different pets and following owner instructions. While I’m new to formal pet sitting, I genuinely love animals and treat every one like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy. I’m currently a part time student in the university of Ottawa and I don’t have any full time commitments so I am fully available for daily walks, etc I take trust very seriously when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I’m attentive, gentle, and careful to follow all instructions exactly as given. I respect pets’ boundaries, keep routines consistent, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also mindful and respectful of your space, I keep things clean, secure, and just as you left them. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and thoughtful while caring for your pet.

Un de nos chiens est très vieux et j’avais quelques craintes de partir de la maison. Alys-Mia a été formidable! Elle nous a tenu au courant lors de ses visites (photos/messages) et a pris en considération les différents besoins de Théo et de Gustave. Nous ne pouvions demander mieux et nous avons pu profiter de notre escapade l’esprit en paix. Merci Alys-Mia!

About: With many years of experience with multiple breeds. You can feel confident in my ability to provide an experienced, loving, and safe environment… for your family member. It’s my mission that you feel confident in our ability, for piece of mind.

So, I will be able to provide around the clock care, and the attention required, seven days per week. We have the most loving, and goofy companion dog to keep your puppers company. Offering an environment with lots of playtime, snuggles, and walks catered to your dog’s needs, or limitations. However, if your dog requires a more calm, and relaxed atmosphere….we can accommodate such an environment.

Jamie showed up on time, followed instructions & always got back to me quickly. I also got a photo of my pet each visit, which was very reassuring since it was my first time away from my pet. Jamie went above & beyond & scooped the litter each day even though I had said not to worry about it. 5 stars easily ?

Akina was on time, patient and trustworthy! My puppy ended up acting out - being stubborn, difficult and hard to deal with when she stopped by. Through it all, Akina took the time to call me, expressed her concerns and talk me through her visit. Her patience, understanding, and expertise was appreciated. By the end, my dog was happy, in his crate sleeping and that’s all I can ask for as an owner. Thank you Akina!

About: I’ve had dogs since childhood and have cared for them through all stages of life, from puppies to seniors, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, walks, and playtime. I also recently adopted an energetic 8-month-old kitten, so I’m familiar with caring for young cats and providing the attention, enrichment, and patience pets need to feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently home full time, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to be available to your pet for play and care at any time of the day! I currently have a 8 month old kitten in the home, so the apartment is pet friendly (unsafe materials stored away in closets, clean spot for bowls, open space for playing).

Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!
