Dog Sitting Mercier

About: We've had 25 years of fun with our own dogs. I grew up around them as a kid, and I can't think of a time I have not been around them. We've raised them from puppies, and we've had some that have been rescued, but one thing is for sure is that we love them no matter where they're coming from. We would love to watch your pup, and have them hang out with our boy Hobbes. We have multiple parks around us, plenty of places to explore, and a great home to house them in. Let us know how we can be of service to you, and take care of your furry friend. We both work from home (Jonathan & Ashleigh) and our daughter (Kodee), have tons of flexibility, which gives us all plenty of opportunities to get out into the fresh air and explore. \\jonathan, ashleigh, et kodee Nous avons eu 25 ans de plaisir avec nos propres chiens. J'ai grandi avec eux quand j'étais enfant, et je ne peux pas penser à une époque où je n'ai pas été avec eux. Nous les avons élevés à partir de chiots, et certains d'entre eux ont été sauvés, mais une chose est sûre, c'est que nous les aimons peu importe d'où ils viennent. Nous serions ravis de regarder votre chiot et de le faire passer du temps avec notre pitou Hobbes. Nous avons plusieurs parcs autour de nous, de nombreux endroits à explorer et une belle maison pour les héberger. Faites-nous savoir comment nous pouvons vous être utiles et prendre soin de votre compagnon à quatre pattes. Nous travaillons tous les deux (Jonathan et Ashleigh) à domicile puis notre fille aussi (Kodee), avons une grande flexibilité, ce qui nous donne de nombreuses opportunités de sortir à l'air frais et d'explorer. Pet care fits naturally into our daily rhythm. Since we both work from home, we're able to give plenty of attention throughout the day...whether it’s a morning walk by the river, playtime in the afternoon, or a quiet cuddle in the evening. Our three teenagers are also involved and love spending time with animals, so there’s always someone ready for a walk, a game of fetch, or just to hang out and offer some affection. Caring for pets isn’t something we have to “make time” for it’s something we genuinely enjoy and have built into how our family lives day to day. Prendre soin des animaux fait naturellement partie de notre quotidien. Comme nous travaillons tous les deux de la maison, nous avons la chance d’être présents et disponibles tout au long de la journée. Que ce soit pour une marche matinale au bord du fleuve, un moment de jeu en après-midi, ou une séance de câlins tranquille en soirée, il y a toujours un moment pour leur accorder de l’attention. Nos trois ados participent aussi avec joie aux soins. Ils adorent passer du temps avec les animaux, donc il y a toujours quelqu’un prêt pour une balade, une partie de lancer de balle, ou juste pour donner un peu d’affection. Ce n’est pas quelque chose qu’on doit "planifier", c’est une partie naturelle et précieuse de notre mode de vie familial. Chez nous, on prend soin des chiens comme s’ils faisaient partie de la famille, parce que pendant qu’ils sont ici, c’est exactement ce qu’ils sont. À la maison, cela veut dire beaucoup d’amour, d’attention, et un environnement calme où votre chien peut se sentir en sécurité et pleinement accueilli. Les promenades, les jeux et les câlins font partie de notre routine. On fait aussi attention aux besoins particuliers de chaque animal, que ce soit pour des médicaments, un horaire de repas spécifique ou tout simplement un peu plus de douceur et de patience. Avec Hobbes, qui pesait 115 livres, c’était important pour nous qu’il soit bien éduqué, confiant et à l’aise dans différents environnements. Il devait pouvoir interagir doucement avec un tout-petit autant que marcher calmement à mes côtés. Cela fait longtemps que nous vivons aux côtés de ces compagnons à quatre pattes. Avec les années, on a appris à comprendre leur langage, à les observer, à bâtir une relation basée sur la confiance. Savoir comment les entraîner, comment bien communiquer avec eux, ça a changé et enrichi notre manière de vivre avec nos chiens. On croit beaucoup au renforcement positif, à la structure et à la douceur. Chaque chien est unique, et on prend le temps de s’adapter à ses besoins, pour qu’il se sente aimé, respecté et à sa place avec nous. Quand on prend soin d’un animal dans sa propre maison, on fait tout pour garder ses repères. On suit vos consignes avec attention, pour que votre chien se sente aussi bien que possible, dans un environnement familier, avec une présence calme et bienveillante. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We care for pets like they’re part of the family, because while they’re with us, they are. In our home, that means lots of love, attention, and a calm environment where your dog can feel safe and included. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are all part of the routine. We’re mindful of each pet’s specific needs, whether it's medication, a certain feeding schedule, or just extra patience and space. With Hobbes, who was 115 pounds, it was important to make sure he could be out in the world and feel confident, calm, and well-behaved. He needed to be able to love on a toddler just as gently as he walked beside someone my size. We've been partnering with these four-legged companions for a long time. Over the years, we’ve learned how to read their behavior and respond in ways that build trust. Understanding how to train and communicate with them has helped us build deeper, healthier relationships with our pups. We believe in positive reinforcement, structure, and kindness. Every dog is different, and we take time to learn what works best for each one so they feel secure, loved, and at home with us. If we're caring for your pet in their own home, we work to keep their routine as familiar as possible. We follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, respected, and cared for, wherever we are.

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

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.

“Pamela did a great job of taking care of my cat Loki while I was on vacation for two weeks. She sent pictures at every visit and let me know immediately when she saw that a plant had been knocked over and Loki had a hairball. Would definitely recommend and will trust Pamela with my pets again soon.”

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

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: 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.

“Florence was so good with Pancho! She asked questions about his routine, gave me really detailed updates after she left. She started to develop a nice relationship with him after just a few visits. Will definately keep contacting her for Pancho’s visits and walks. I know he is in great hands!”

About: I have had pets since childhood, I have had dogs, cats, ducks, sheep, parrots and I know how to take care of them well. Even now, I have two dogs, very active and healthy, who have been with me since they were two months old, one is 12 years old and the other is 9 years old Every day and every night on all days of the week on all official and unofficial holidays and weekends To walk, maintain and feed I'm ready Because I love animals and I have had many animals myself and I know how much animal owners depend on their animals and how important and serious it is for them to take care of them, so I will take care of them in the best possible way.

About: I have a soothing and calming energy that dogs feel right away. I enjoy seeing dogs get their exercise and brings me joy to see them being happy. I am currently available during business hours, however I can be flexible as long I have 1-2 days notice to accommodate your request. Weekends can vary. I am currently provding dog walking and dog sitting at your home. Feel free to reach out to me for a meet and greet and for any questions.

About: I truly love animals and have always had a strong connection with them. I used to have two small dogs — one of them was a Cocker Spaniel who sadly passed away a few years ago, after months of effort and care to try to save him. I still have another little boy, but he’s far from me right now and I miss him deeply. Taking care of your pet would mean a lot to me — I’ll give them the same love, affection, and gentle care I gave my own. I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own little companions. i have available time and i’m free in weekends i hope you trust me. Cuddle them and provide their meals with care. i love pets I’ll try to become their friend, pet them to ease their loneliness, make sure they eat properly, and play with them a lot.thanks for your trust
