Pet Sitting Merrickville

About: I have had experience owning and taking care of puppies and full-grown dogs. I have walked, pet-sit, and loved my sister’s Labrador/retriever, my friend’s pug, a Newfoundlander, westie, aussiedoodle, and cavapoo. I love dogs, especially when you see the joy in their faces when going for a walk or run or playing ball in the park. I work from home, but I would love to walk dogs part time. I’m an outdoors person, so taking a dog on a walk, run or park visit is the perfect break from sitting at my desk working 24/7! I think this is such a great app, and I hope there are some people in my area that are looking for a part-time dog walker and/or sitter 😆 Please note, I’m highly allergic to cats so unfortunately I can only take dog sitting requests. I have a flexible work from home schedule and getting outside for dog walking/pet care is the perfect break. I absolutely love animals and care for their safety and happiness. I can only take care of hypoallergenic pets in my home because my partner has allergies, but I can care for pets in a clients home or do any kind of pet walking service.

“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.”

About: I am a former dog owner of an 18 year old Cockapoo I lost 1,5 years ago. Prior to this I cared for my 19 year old Spaniel/terrier. In addition, I am listed on Trusted House sitters as a Five star House/pet sitter. My last girl, I took care of her in Pallative state, administering, meds, special allergy bathing , going to the Vet for fluids and other treatments. Carry her down the deck stairs for her potty time when her ability was no longer there to climb up and down stairs etc. I had both of my dogs as a puppy and trained them with some dog trainers and my own training. I still have bedding, dishes, wire and mesh crate, toys! I am retired, I have some spare time depending on some days between appointments and trips into Ottawa. I would be more available during the day and early evenings I have a fenced yard, with plenty of grass down below the deck area. I am close to walking trails and sidewalks outside of my home. I do have a wired and mesh crate. I may administer some oral medication. Walk, feed, give lots of love, hugs and attention to your fur baby!

“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.”

I have a private room that they can be secluded in if needed, but for the most part they can have the run of the apartment with supervision.

“the cat is doing very well. I also had a neighbor who combed my cat. So I dont know how that affected what was done by Grace. I did not expect my neighbor to do so much.”

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.
