About: I’m a proud pet parent to a spirited Shiba Inu, so I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love when it comes to caring for dogs. I’ve also been volunteering with the Ottawa Humane Society for the past 6 months in their Canine Enrichment Program. 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 also make sure your home stays tidy and secure, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I aim to be a calming, trustworthy presence while you’re away.
