House Sitting Joliette

About: Fan fini des animaux de compagnie, j’ai la chance d’en côtoyer d’aussi loin que je me souvienne. J’ai beaucoup de plaisir avec eux et me sens privilégiée lorsqu’on a l’occasion de s’apprivoiser. Heureuse de partager mon environnement avec une belle Husky de 8 ans depuis septembre2026 vivant avec 2.8 pattes, je vous propose alors une attention et des soins hors pair pour vos compagnons. Marcher, socialiser, jeux et encore plus! Je travaille pour le service incendie de la MRC de D’Autray et j’ai un horaire de travail plutôt typique soit de 8h à 17h, et termine à midi le vendredi. Je suis disponible tôt le matin et en soirée pour les journées de semaine et suis SUPER disponible les week-ends. J’ai actuellement 2 chats, Tomtom 12 ans et Simon 5 ans. J’ai beaucoup de plaisir à faire en sorte que tout est harmonieux pour tous. Auparavant j’ai eu un Berger Allemand/Husky/Beauceron pour lequel j’ai suivi un cours de dressage (pour le maître… hahah). Par la suite, j’ai « rescue » toute sortes de quadrupèdes (chiens, chats et même une rate).

About: Bonjour, mon nom est Kassandra et j'offre mes services pour promener, garder ou jouer avec votre, ou vos, chiens lors de votre absence. Je suis une personne honnête, digne de confiance, avec un grand amour pour les animaux. Je travaille présentement dans une garderie pour chien situé à Ville Saint-Laurent, puis mon père étant dresseur/éleveur de chiens, m'a enseigné beaucoup sur le comportement canin et certaines techniques de dressages. ---------- Hi, my name is Kassandra and i'm offering my services to walk, sit or play with your pets while you're away. I am trustworthy, honest and will give a lot of love to your pets. I'm currently working in a doggy daycare located in Ville Saint-Laurent. Also, my father showed me a lot about dog behavior and training tips, since he's a dog trainer/breeder. The only job I'm doing is my pet sitting and walking business, with Aboyer dog walking. Which means I'm almost always available to take care of your furry friends! 😃 My house is their house 🫶 If they're used to sleeping in bed, they can! If they're used to being crated, I have some. I have a yard to throw ball or lay in grass in the sun 🌞 and anything you would need to take care of a dog or a cat.

“Manon a pris grand soin de Boogie, elle lui a appris des nouveaux tours, a tenté d'améliorer sa réactivité et elle a joué avec lui. Manon a aussi administré les médicaments et a fait vivre des belles nouvelles expériences à Boogie. Dès qu'on la rencontre, on voit qu'elle a le tour avec les chiens et qu'elle les adore ! Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos pendant notre voyage ce qui a été très apprécié. J'ai été en confiance avec Manon, elle est d'une spontanéité accueillante et déborde d'énergie. Et elle est aussi très respectueuse de la maison, à notre retour c'était impeccable! Merci Manon!”

About: Have extensive experience with raising cats and dogs, am comfortable in other peoples homes and keep it neat and tidy. I have raised a Boxer, helped train a golden doodle, cared for elderly greyhounds with hip problems, fostered a Mini Pincer with PTSD with aggression to other dogs. Among many others! I know how to speak to them in a serious tone, to correct them, and then immediately give them a way to repair. (Example, no pulling on the leash, NO! Sit down, give paw, Good dog! ) -This would obviously be tailored to each pet according to their needs and training level. I care for more than just their needs, I take an interest in their interests, and emotional wellbeing. Myself and my brother will be in Kitchener from Dec 10-January 20 ( dates flexible) visiting family for the holidays. We would love to do some house/ pet sitting during this time! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I work from a distance, and make my own schedule therefore I am very flexible. Consistency is everything with dogs! I am loving and firm. I get to know what is acceptable behavior of the animal according to their parents, and reinforce this training while they are away. If the dog needs cuddles, quiet and down time, then lets get some comfy blankets and cuddle up with a book! If they need to walk / run a lot we can go on urban hikes or to the dog park.

“Couldn’t recommend more. It was the first time we had a house/pet sitter and Emily and Nic were great. Super attentive, kept us informed and gave us peace of mind while we were away for 2 weeks in Europe. They were even so kind to leave the house cleaner than we left it.”

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)
