Dog Sitting in Mercier

About: I am a 24 year old college student who doesn't have time for the average 9-5 job. I am a huge animal lover that has two dogs (and one cat, can't forget Lucas!) of her own and will provide the best, most attentive service to meet all your dogs/cats needs and yours! My main concern is making sure that they are completely drained (and content) from all the activities and love I provided for them throughout the day. I have experience in this line of work which sets me apart from other sitters/walkers as I understand that all animals have their own personality and likes/dislikes which makes each and every one of them more loveable and unique. I hope to hear from you all soon and wish you all a great day!

About: J’ai dû faire euthanasier mon chien en mars 2023 alors qu'il avait seulement 6 ans. Il n’y a pas un jour qui passe où je ne pense pas à lui. Mon chien avait plusieurs problèmes de santé et je me suis beaucoup occupé de lui. Il faisait de l’arthrose, de l’asthme et du diabète. Je lui ai souvent donné ses injections d’insuline ainsi que des médicaments sous forme de comprimés. Je devais également lui mettre une goutte dans chaque oeil à chaque jour. Je suis toujours douce avec eux et répond aux différents besoins et aux différentes personnalités de chacun. Sinon, j’ai aussi l’habitude avec le chien de mon copain qui est un chien assez nerveux. Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’université de Montréal. J’ai également un emploi à temps partiel au sports experts. Étant aux études je ne peux pas avoir de chien tout de suite, mais je les adore et passerait mes journées avec eux si je pouvais. J’adorerais m’occuper de vos toutous dans mes temps libres. J’ai une cour arrière clôturée chez moi. J’adore jouer avec eux, prendre une marche ou les amener au parc à chien s’ils ont besoin de dépenser de l’énergie ou sinon simplement leur donner tout l’amour et affection nécessaire.

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 :)

“Pamela is such a sweetheart. She's done doggy daycare for me in the past, but this time she stopped by to check in on my cat while I was out of town with the dog. She took photos to let me know my request for litter cleaning was complete and that my cat was doing well. She also left a very nice note for me for when I got home. Will definitely be booking her again for both my dog and cat!”

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs in every stage of life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have continued that journey into adulthood — raising my own puppies, rescuing pregnant dogs and caring for their litters, and now cherishing my two senior dogs. I understand firsthand the very different needs of energetic puppies, growing adolescents, and aging seniors who need extra patience and comfort. I also have formal training experience, including training a service dog, so I’m confident working on basic manners, reinforcing routines, and supporting any training you already have in place. Whether it’s leash skills, crate routines, or gentle structure for young pups, I’m happy to help keep things consistent. That said… I’m definitely a softie too. I believe dogs are family, and I don’t hold back on affection — cuddles, reassurance, and yes, sharing my bed too, I can't help it. I always adapt to your dog’s normal routine and your household rules, so their world feels safe, familiar, and stress-free while you’re away. No matter what, one thing is guaranteed: your dog will be loved like one of my own and showered with all the extra care, attention, and affection they all deserve. There is never a shortage of love around here! Because I’m currently not working, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. I’m easygoing, reliable, and my top priority is a happy, comfortable pet — and a happy pet parent, too! Spending time with all your dogs makes me happier than you can imagine. I always tailor my care based on each dog’s personality, routine, and the service you choose. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Safety is always my number one priority, closely followed by making sure your dog has plenty of fun, attention, and affection. In my home, dogs become part of the family. We own our home, which allows me to fully control the environment and keep it calm, secure, and dog-friendly. They will never be unsupervised as I am always home with our dogs! We also have both a front and a backyard, giving dogs safe outdoor space for fresh air, play, and bathroom breaks. I’m very mindful about supervision, secure doors, and creating a setting where dogs can relax without stress. I keep your dog’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to — feeding schedules, walk times, sleep habits, and any house rules you follow. If your dog is used to cuddling on the couch or even sleeping in the bed, I’m happy to continue that routine. I also make sure they have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need downtime.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

About: I have been around and taken care of many family and friends pets, on occasion, throughout my life. I just recently officially introduced myself to the pet owner life. No matter the personality or energy level of your pet I am ready to be there and take care. I mainly work as an actor. This means that most of the time I have off unless I have a role. Due to the fact that my availability is completely open most of time and I am not fixed to a weekly schedule, I am able to offer my services any time. Even last minute. The owner would be fully aware of anything I can/will do. I am there to not only take care of your pet but also your home.

About: I’ve had cats and kittens all the time since I was 3 years old, along with other pets, including rabbits and chicks. My parents had a house in the mountains. Whenever we visited over the summer, I used to take care of my neighbor’s dog. It was always a thrill taking her for a walk every day. If she ever runs away from home, I would go after her and make sure she was okay before taking her back to her owners. Animals warm up to me, and I am very fond of them. I hope to be a veterinarian someday. The wellbeing and happiness of animals is very important to me. Seeing them well taken care of brings me joy and comfort, and it would be an honor to provide that care. I recently graduated from dawson college, and I started my first semester at Concordia this fall. I should be available any day, any time, since the majority of my classes this semester are online. I would rather take care of your pet in your home. I am very trustworthy, so you don’t need to worry about your belongings while I’m at your place. I will only be inside for the duration needed to get the job done. I will document my time with your pet so your mind is at ease <3

“Esther is very good with dogs. My dog loves her.”

About: Je m’occupe de mes deux bassets à la maison, j’ai eu un élevage pendant deux ans où la femelle basset originaire de la Bretagne m’a fait une très belle portée dont les chiots étaient tous en santé. J’ai gardé le dernier chiot son nom est Rocky il est très gentil. Avec mes deux bassets, nous nous promenons deux fois par jour petite balade du matin et balade de l’après-midi on sort souvent pour des sorties d’une heure, dont le parc à chien où nous aimons vraiment beaucoup socialiser, et se défouler, nous aimons les autres amis, car nous sommes faits pour vivre en meute. Si je me déplace, j’effectue toujours une surveillance d’hygiène, nettoyage des pipis s’il y a lieu et remise en état de la pièce donner la nourriture, puis s’assurer qu’ils ont toujours de l’eau, jouer et aller dehors et faire les soins routine, lavage des oreilles, lavage des dents, lavage du poil, brosser le poil et s’assurer qu ils sont en pleine santé. Cela fait partie de ma routine avec mes deux chiens.

“Priscila was the perfect fit for my female cat Pelucinha. Priscila gave the medicine to her which is not always an easy job. She made the cat very comfortable and took very good care of my beloved pet. Priscila did more than I expected. She assisted Pelucinha at feeding time, she played with her and she also cleaned her litter box even if I haven't asked her to do so. I truly recommend her expertise and caring for your furry creatures.”
