Dog Sitting Gatineau

About: Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember.Now at this time in my life I have the time, patience, and genuine love to devote to every pet I look after. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My calm attentive nature helps animals feel comfortable and secure, especially those who may be shy or anxious. I am currently retired and have open availability. I have taken care of my own pets over the years and I'm looking forward to taking care of yours. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive in your home, and I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and detail-oriented.

“Jamie is kind, great with dogs, and easy to work with. My dog Max has a lot of anxiety and health issues but was calm and happy to spend time with her.”

About: I am fortunate to have had pets for 26 years! When I visit with your pet, my focus is on their care and well being. This means lots of time for pats, walks, playing, snacks and constant vocal praises! My goal is to make your furry family member feel at ease (and, therefore, you too!) I am a Covid and flu-conscious pet carer, and can wear a mask if requested. I have flexibility throughout my week as I work part time. I am not able to do visits before 930 AM, but, I can do weekends and late evenings with ease. I may also be able to do last-minute requests, as my schedule allows. I can do short visits or long visits, whichever is needed and preferred! I’m also very happy to have a long walk with your dog as it’s a favourite pastime of mine. I enjoy spending time playing with cats for longer periods. My goal is to treat your pet like they are my own! Your pet is a furry family member who I know is very important to you. Being a longtime pet owner myself, I completely understand this bond and the concerns you may have when leaving them with someone. I will make sure to follow all of your instructions to the letter. I do not take risks with animals, such as having them off leash when instructed not to. I am skilled at watching for warning signs. I currently have a dog (Badger) who has a seizure disorder triggered by certain foods, so I am very cognizant of food related allergies and limitations. My attention is always on your pet when they are in my care (i.e. if they get into something they shouldn’t, I am intervening immediately and not distracted by my phone etc.) My approach with animals is always positive reinforcement emphasized.

“Sydney is so lovely and my cat loved her! She truly is an animal Whisperer because my rescue is normally very afraid of strangers but felt safe and comfortable with her 🥹 (Which never happened before) She sent a lot of pictures and a detailed summary after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was afraid leaving my anxious angel behind but because of Sydney I was truly able to enjoy my vacation! 💛 Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shines through!! I couldn’t recommend her more! 😊”

About: With three years of experience working on a farm and taking care of love ones dogs and cats, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals, from the smallest kittens to the largest livestock. This hands-on background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and the skills to confidently look after pets of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they receive the best possible care. As a devoted stay-at-home dog mom, my days revolve around my furry family members. This means I'm always available to give your pup constant companionship, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they could ever want. My flexible schedule ensures they get regular walks, playtime, and a comforting presence throughout the day, just like my own dogs do. My home features a secure, fenced yard, offering a safe and fun space for your dog to play and explore. While I love giving pups plenty of freedom, I also understand that some dogs are more comfortable in a crate, or that it might be your preferred method. Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.

About: I have a high level of comfort around animals, having been raised around 3 dogs and 2 cats. I provide frequent dog walking and pet sitting assistance for friends and family and am comfortable with cats and dogs of any size. I am currently working full time fr 9-5 and would be available to provide care before or after those hours. I am happy to be flexible on occasion if needed. I also work anytime during weekends. I love animals of all kinds and show patience and care in all my services. I usually stick to neighborhood walks but am happy to use specific routes as needed. I understand the importance of following routines and instructions for pet care so will make sure your little one is well taken care of according to your expectations.

“Kelsea was great with my puppy! Took him out for a walk and spent time playing with him at home too. He was happy and calm when I got back, which says a lot. She also sent me tons of pics, which I loved. Would definitely book her again 😊”

“We scheduled an additional meet and greet with a walk so that our dog could get more familiar with Nicole. Nicole sent a reminder and was on time. She asked questions to get to better understand our nervous dog and was gentle and patient with her.”

About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une grande place dans ma vie, et prendre soin d’eux est quelque chose que j’aime vraiment. Je suis promeneuse de chiens et gardienne d’animaux avec de l’expérience auprès de chiens de différentes tailles, de différents âges et avec toutes sortes de personnalités. Que votre chien adore les longues promenades énergiques ou préfère une petite balade tranquille remplie de reniflements, je vais m’assurer qu’il reçoit toute l’attention et les soins dont il a besoin. Je suis une personne patiente, fiable et attentionnée. Je crois que chaque animal doit se sentir en sécurité, confortable et aimé lorsque sa famille est absente. Je sais à quel point il est important de faire confiance à la personne qui s’occupe de votre compagnon, alors je traite toujours chaque animal comme s’il était le mien. Je partage également ma maison avec mon jeune Schnauzer géant, Mushu, qui m’a beaucoup appris sur l’éducation des chiots, l’enrichissement et le renforcement positif. Prendre soin de lui m’a aussi permis de mieux comprendre que chaque chien a sa propre personnalité, ses besoins et son rythme. Lors de chaque visite, je suis heureuse de vous envoyer des photos et un compte rendu afin que vous sachiez comment va votre animal. Mon objectif est que vous puissiez partir l’esprit tranquille, en sachant que votre compagnon est entre bonnes mains et qu’il passe un bon moment. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre famille et vos adorables compagnons! 🐶🐱💕 Je suis disponible du lundi au vendredi, de 9 h à 15 h, pour offrir des services de garde et de promenade à vos compagnons. 🐾 Cet horaire me permet de consacrer pleinement mon temps aux animaux dont je m’occupe, que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite à domicile ou des soins auprès de votre chat. Je suis ponctuelle, organisée et je m’assure de respecter la routine et les besoins de chaque animal. 🐶🐱💕 Je n’offre pas de garde à mon domicile pour le moment, mais je peux me déplacer chez les propriétaires pour m’occuper de leurs animaux. Pour les chiens, je peux faire des visites pendant la journée afin de leur offrir une pause pipi, une petite promenade et de l’attention. Je m’adapte au rythme et aux besoins de chaque chien. Pour les chats, je peux également faire des visites à domicile pour m’occuper de leur nourriture et de leur eau, nettoyer la litière, leur offrir de l’attention et m’assurer qu’ils vont bien pendant l’absence de leur famille. Mon objectif est que chaque animal se sente en sécurité, confortable et bien accompagné jusqu’au retour de ses propriétaires. 🐾💕

“Jude is awesome ! 👏 Il est un excellent communicateur et a été très doux avec notre petit minou. Il nous a offert un très bon service et c’est sûr que nous allons le contacter encore !”

About: Growing up in China, I had a sweet Bichon Frise, and that’s where my love for animals began. After moving to Canada, I became a cat parent and have now been caring for cats for over eight years. I currently have two cats of my own, both with very different personalities—one is outgoing, affectionate and curious, while the other is more sensitive and needs a little extra time to feel comfortable. Living with them has taught me that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. Some cats want to be your best friend right away, while others prefer you to sit quietly nearby and let them make the first move. I’m happy to do both! I’m patient, attentive and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll never rush them before they feel safe. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, keep their food, water and litter area clean, spend time playing or cuddling with them, and send you photos and updates. I also have experience giving oral medication when needed and can follow instructions carefully. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language feels most comfortable for you. Skills 🐾 – patient and gentle with shy or nervous pets – attentive to behaviour and body language – feeding, litter care, playtime and brushing – medication and care instructions – photo and message updates Experience 🐶🐱 – over eight years of caring for cats – currently a cat parent to two lovely boys – grew up caring for a family dog – comfortable with pets of different personalities and energy levels Available on weekdays after 5PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for your pet, making sure they feel safe and well looked after while you’re away🥰 My home has several separate rooms, so visiting pets can have their own quiet space when needed. I also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, with plenty of trails nearby for walks and exploring.

“My cats adore her. I was initially concerned about my shy cat Patrick, who often gets lonely when I’m away, but I was delighted to learn that he quickly warmed up to her. He even felt comfortable enough to sit on her lap for a while.”

“Isabelle was absolutely amazing. I felt so grateful that she was looking after my cat while I was away. She’s reliable, responsive, and caring. I am definitely going to be rebooking Isabelle to look after my cat next time I’m travelling. Thank you for everything!”

About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.

About: Experienced with all dogs, from pups to seniors. Gentle care, training basics, and plenty of love! I’ve had many dogs in my life and currently have a 5 year old samoyed puppy as well as a 6 month old pug! I have experience with playful, reserved, older, and cranky dogs, and love them all equally. I am very passionate and active so will be there for playtime as well as time where your pup needs a companion while they miss you. I have so much love and will love them as my own! I also have had cats, birds, fish, and hamsters! I am currently in college and I have all the time in the world to care for your babies! And on the weekends I am free! I have trained many dogs on leash and off leash and am comfortable with both styles of walking, I have also gone through potty training plenty and have a good grasp on helping teach puppies or older pups! I have also worked with reactive dogs and that is no problem for me.
