Dog Sitting in La Prairie

“Très bonne gardienne. Elle m'a donné des nouvelles et ma chienne semblait très heureuse en sa compagnie. Je vais recontacter Sara avec plaisir pour mes prochaines absences!”

About: I’ve babysat/taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I am an avid animal lover and I’ve volunteered and countless animal shelters. Fun fact: I’ve trained my cat to sit! I currently study part-time and work at home so I can easily stay home most of the time to take care and look after your pets! I have cat and dog toys as well as easy access to a large yard outside my home. I aim to play a lot with dogs and make sure they get enough exercise as well as with cats.

“Our cat had a medical emergency and Jessica went way above and beyond in ensuring his safety and comfort. While it was a stressful time her handling of the situation was beyond reproach and left us with total confidence in her. We would highly recommend her.”

About: J'ai grandi avec un gros et un moyen chien depuis l'âge de 11 ans. Et j'ai adopté mon petit bichon il y a 7 ans maintenant. J'ai déjà gardé les chiens de mes ami.e.s plusieurs fois et aussi dans le cadre de Rover avec mon ex-conjointe pendant 2 ans. Je suis présentement en travail hybride (3 jours/semaine) donc je peux garder les chiens quelques jours en semaine ou de nuits pour un long weekend. J'ai une cour arrière clôturée et une clôture intérieure (pour bébé) ce qui me permet de mieux gérer les besoins en général ou de séparer les chiens. Mais aussi de jouer à la balle, courir ou même prendre un peu de soleil. Je m'engage aussi à promener les chiens au moins 1-2 fois par jour.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, from puppies to seniors. Growing up with dogs and cats, I developed a deep understanding of their needs. I've dog-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets feel safe and loved. I’m attentive to each dog's unique personality, providing personalized care, walks, and playtime. If your dog needs a lot of activity, I would love to take them on a run or long walk. If they just need to relax, we can settle for a short walk and a movie day. Whether your dog needs extra attention or just a friendly companion, I am committed to giving them the best experience while you're away. I am available for weekend boarding for your pets or walks/visits after 4pm on weekdays (time may vary depending on the destination of your home). I live in a second story apartment with direct acccess to a backyard and to the street. Your pet will have plenty of room inside to play and run around.

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 :)

About: I’ve always loved animals, they truly feel like family to me. I was a devoted cat mom to my Bengal for over 11 years, and caring for him shaped how attentive and patient I am with pets. Losing him was very hard, and offering pet care now feels like a meaningful way to continue sharing that love. Over the years, I’ve cared for both cats and large dogs, including a 130-lb Rottweiler/Bernese mix. I’m comfortable handling strong breeds, structured walks, and different energy levels. What sets me apart is my calm and responsible nature. As a flight attendant, safety, routine, and clear communication are part of my everyday life. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and respect both your pet’s routine and your home. I’m comfortable with: • Oral medication • Senior pets • High-energy personalities • Maintaining feeding and walk schedules • Sending regular photo updates I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is always to make them feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I've always taken care of friends or family dogs. They seem to like me very much and I am always happy around them. So are they! I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for dog care, walks and leisure. I'm available most of the day, morning or afternoon. I have a fenced backyard and a little girl that loves to play with dogs. She also has friends over who enjoy dogs as well.

About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for dogs, mainly helping out with my uncle’s two dogs every summer. I handle feeding, walking, and keeping them company, and I’ve also pet sat for longer periods. I genuinely love being around animals and they tend to warm up to me really quickly. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! My weekdays are flexible depending on the booking, and my weekends are usually very open, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care. I make sure they stay on their routine and feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a chore. I adapt my care depending on the pet and the home environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so the pet feels comfortable and stress free, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure the space stays clean and that the pet is safe and well cared for at all times.

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.
