“Taylor did a great job dropping in to look after my cats over a couple of days. Being able to pay special attention to each of their behaviours and needs is much appreciated. I'm sure we'll become a repeat client!”

“Dylan was great, he was a last minute booking because our previous sitters bailed with no notice and I’m so glad we got him to take care of our cats while we were away getting married! He showed up when he said, sent tons of pictures, kept in communication, and went on a cat hunt when our one cat decided to hide in the couch. Thank you Dylan! Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs loved having her drop in. She was always on time and stayed for the full length of the drop in. Our dogs instantly gravitated to her as she gave them lots of pets and love. We were very comfortable having her drop in while we were away and would hire her again. Definitely recommended.”

“Elizabeth was an excellent pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. She communicated clearly and consistently, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was kind and thoughtful with both our family and our cat, and it was obvious our pet was in great hands. She also stepped in to help us out of a last-minute jam, which we truly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Boston Terriers to gentle giants like Great Danes. I've helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs, and supported rescue pups as they transition into their new homes. I’m comfortable managing multi-dog households, having looked after up to five dogs at once, including providing post-operative care and administering medications when needed. Currently, I share my home with two amazing dogs of my own—Hank, a Dogo Argentino, and Harley, a Cane Corso—who bring so much joy and love into my life. I treat every dog I care for like family and always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while their humans are away. I currently work part-time as a Registered Massage Therapist and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pup need me most. I'm fully available Friday through Monday, and with a little notice, I can often accommodate Tuesdays through Thursdays as well. This flexibility means I can provide consistent care and attention, whether it’s for a quick drop-in or extended stays. I’m lucky to have 33 beautiful acres for my pups to explore, so they get plenty of space to roam and enjoy the outdoors. But we never go it alone—I'm always right there with them, whether we're hiking through the woods, wandering the trails, or playing with their favorite toys. When we're inside, you'd never guess how adventurous they are—because they instantly transform into the biggest lap dogs! They love nothing more than curling up for cuddles, getting cozy in bed, and enjoying their favorite treat: relaxing coconut oil massages.
“Jenna was our first successful foray into having someone come in house to walk, play with, and give our three dogs their mid-day break. They were so happy when we arrived home, and it was seamless and stress free working with her.”

Through this role, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—providing enrichment, positive reinforcement, and companionship in a shelter environment. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I had a Shiba Inu, so I know already the routine of daily walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime with a pet. I also volunteer weekly at the Ottawa Humane Society, which keeps me in tune with the needs of different animals. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize consistency and comfort. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, play, or cuddles.

I aim to be a calming, trustworthy presence while you’re away.

About: Hello, my name is Shanna. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have been asked by many friends and family over the years to pet sit for them while they are away and have always enjoyed it. I would treat your pet as my own and have a total appreciation for how you would expect your babies to be loved and cared for during the the times you can't. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I currently work 9-4 during week days, with weekends off. I do morning and evening walks during work days. If your dog is used to work hours, I would be with them morning, night and weekends. I currently have one other dog in my home. If your dog is comfortable with other animals and having me take your dog as opposed to house sit at your place, I have a fenced in yard perfect for it.
