“Michael and family are very friendly people and great pet sitters. They have a nice setting with a large backyard where the dog can play. They took great care of our Loulou, and we know she got all the love, attention, and exercice she needed. We received updates and photos. We feel very lucky we found Michael and will contact him again with no hesitation.”

About: With over 8 years of experience in pet care, I love getting to know each pet, whether it’s for a walk or a longer visit! I’m attentive, experienced with a variety of breeds and temperaments (especially with more socially anxious pups!), and treat every pet like my bestie. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible! As long as you have reliable wifi and a space I can use as a workstation, I can make most stays work. I don’t have pets myself, so yours will get my full attention! Whether it’s a leashed walk in a local park, a visit to a fenced dog park, or just lounging around your own space - I like to customize my approach to each pet and learn what they need.
“Julie did an amazing job with River while we were away. We received regular updates and videos and did not have to worry about her. She’s a big strong dog and Julie managed her very well.”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9 week old puppy Margot! She was super flexible with drop off & pick up timing. She made sure to send me tons of updates and cute photos of Margot living it up with her and her roommate. Margot also slept the entire drive home which she never does- so she clearly had a blast! All of our things were neatly organized in a bag and ready for pickup. 10/10 would recommend Hannah to anyone! Can’t wait for Margot to go back !”
“Madeleine was fantastic. She communicated with me and was quick to reply. My pup, who has anxiety and is an old grump came back in great shape and I don’t believe he missed us at all!! Thank you so much”
“Qianzhi was great with Eevee! She kept Eevee happy by playing with her and taking her on many walks which included trails. Our favourite thing she did was the constant flow of pictures she sent us, so we always knew what she was doing. Qianzhi was very communicative and was to quick to reply to any and all messages. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
“Becky and Lili had a great time with Thander and Thaynara...I will certainly check out their availability for any futur dog sitting. The pictures were much appreciated and your home and the closeness to a dog park were a very positive attribution to their stay. Many thanks!”
“Dash just loves being with Tanya and her family including all her friendly dogs. Tanya keeps was updated with lots of photos, let pur dog be a part of her faimily and it shows when he meets her or he is about to leave them. We are actually very thankful to finally find someone who loves Dash as much does them.”
“Margot was fabulous with our cats. In just a few days they were out playing and relaxing, and she kept up regulalry updated with pictures and videos. She and her partner were so attentive and interactive with them - we had absolutely no concerns during our trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. absolutely 10/10 pet sitter.”
“Such a wonderful couple. Our dog Coco is such a busy energetic girl, and they gave her so much attention and love and kept up to her the whole weekend. We didn’t have to worry about her and felt confident she was in great hands. Thank you for loving our Coco while we were away!”
“As always Amanda was amazing!! She makes nala feel like she’s at home. She took her out several times to the dog park and on walks and sent loads of photos which I really appreciate. Nala got along well with her dog Brinx. She’s so responsive and always provides updates on everything. She’s great, I will continue to book with Amanda!!”
“Joseph and Maria were amazing with our dog Remy. He’s a shy and anxious rescue, but clearly thrived when we boarded him with them for a weekend. They have a calming home with a very chill cat who Remy loved playing with. We also got updates with photos multiple times per day on how he was doing. We’ll be boarding with Joseph and Maria again in the future.”
“I had a great experience with Grace. She was incredibly flexible and easy to coordinate with, which made everything much less stressful. Her communication was proactive and thoughtful, and she kept me updated so I always knew how things were going. She was kind and attentive, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I’m truly grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

I am so grateful to have found Kathleen to look after my Jack. He would normally go to a friend’s house but since moving to a new city, that option is limited. When picking him up, he was happy to see me but calm, relaxed and not at all anxious to leave lol. He seemed very much at home. Kathleen sent updates and pictures throughout the day so I could see how well he was doing. Thanks so much Kathleen
C'était la 2e fois que nous faisions garder nos 2 chiens par eux, et encore une fois tout s'est super bien passé. Nos chiens étaient très contents de les revoir, ce qui nous a tout de suite rassurés. Ils ont vraiment bien pris soin d'eux et nous avons eu l'esprit tranquille pendant notre absence.
Cassandra is a gem! I felt listened to when communicating the dogs needs, she was interested in learning about their routine, likes and dislikes. She also put all winning combinations forward by meeting the dogs first and allowing them to visit her home before our holidays. You can see she is a true dog lover. Cassandra provided daily updates with pictures, which was very reassuring! Thank you Cassandra!
Caralyn & Ethan C recently took my cat into their loving home for almost a month while I was travelling. They were very helpful and warm and communicated well with me to ensure that all my cat’s necessities, vet information and means to communicate with me were sorted out in advance of the dropoff day. I received adorable little updates and photos of my pet living her best life in their care - it was very comforting. They also brought my cat in for a checkup one evening and kept me posted every step of the way. I highly recommend Caralyn & Ethan C to any cat parents out there who want to KNOW that their cat is going to be loved and well looked after. Having that kind of peace of mind helped me actually make the most of my trip and not just be agonizing over not being with my cat. Thank you!!
Andrea is absolutely awesome! She is so sweet at heart and genuinely loves dogs, attentively caring for their needs. Truely feel blessed to have found her and trust her for 3 straight weeks with my 7-mo old Cocker Spaniel named Cookie (Monster). Indeed he can be rowdy and anxious but Andrea's experience and demeanor ensured he was well handled and cared for despite his behavior. Sometimes you just get a feeling about people; within seconds of meeting Andrea, I knew she would be his dog-sitter, and felt so much relief while I was able to take a rare vacation. Naturally, we communicated lots during Cookie's stay at her place. She sent pics, updates and even tips on how to train him better. I witnessed firsthand just how her vibe and energy is able to tame the wild beast within Cookie, better than I can, despite having had a Springer Spaniel for 12 years before. Can't recommend her enough if you're ever looking for a great dog sitter that is trustworthy, caring and loving.
I am so glad we Shuvendu to tke cre of our cat Pandoro! We received regulr updates while we were away which was SO reassuring. Also, his place was great for a cat like mine who is active because is was a safe home with another cat to keep him company :) Highly recommended :)
Nathalie was the most accommodating and wonderful dog sitter for Charlotte. Charlotte is not straight forward to introduce to other dogs and Nathalie was willing to try anyways and it worked out so well! I’m so glad Charlotte got to hang out with some other dogs over the holidays and plenty of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Audrée took excellent care of Boris while we were away. She treated him as part of her family. I got lots of pics of him sprawled on their bed and with their dog. Also, she’s bilingual! She really helped us when our old Dogsitter canceled 2 days before our trip, and then again when our return flight was cancelled and she took care of Boris for an extra night at the end. We would def recommend Audrée!
