Cat Sitting Metcalfe

About: As an animal adopter my entire adult life, I have encountered many quirky characters. I love to learn about each pet individually and give them the love and care they deserve. I’m an artist so I mostly work from home! I’m available weekdays and most weekends, able to fit almost any schedule or routine needed for your pet. I have a fenced yard and three friendly, playful dogs to keep your pup company in my home. I also have an air conditioned home to keep them cool between running around outside!

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Growing up in a home with five dogs and over ten cats meant my life was non-stop paws, tails, and belly rubs. It taught me everything from handling medications, puppy and potty training, extra senior pet care, reading a pet’s body language and knowing when they just need a quiet cuddle or extra patience. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and coworkers heading out of town. I treat every pet in my care like family. When your pet is with me, they aren't just being watched, I can guarantee that they're getting a true home away from home. I work a 8-5 job during the week, however I offer a predictable, well-structured routine for your pets. I provide whole week cat boarding at my quiet house, weekend pets house sitting, and dog walking service during early morning and evening hours. I also offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs right before and after my work shift and during lunch break if needed. You can count on me for reliable feeding schedules, timely medication, and dedicated quality time when your pet needs it most. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in your house, my priority is always making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, I provide a cozy, calm environment where cats can relax, play, and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles-just like they would with their own family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress free for their pets. I’m attentive to their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs. Most importantly, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d want someone to give to my own pets.

About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I am a proud owner of a Sheltie named Gus 🐕 and an orange tabby named Monster 🐈 Are you looking for a reliable, trustworthy, friendly dog sitter? I’m here for you! I have a flexible schedule and I also have a vehicle to easily commute to different places. I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter of various sizes and breeds. My pets are both seniors so I have extensive experience with senior pets and administering medications. Please contact me for a free consultation to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your family ❤️ Currently, my schedule is quite flexible. I am currently working part-time as a counsellor, working as a dog walker several days a week and doing a Master’s program online asynchronously. I am able to adapt my schedule for your needs with sufficient notice :) At this time, I am unable to house sit other pets at my house. However, I am able to go to your home and look after your pets! Some things I do to ensure safety include following client instructions carefully, avoiding other dogs while walking, not using my phone or music while walking a dog to ensure my focus is on the dog and our surroundings, and ensuring dogs are kept on leash or in a fenced backyard to prevent them from running loose.

About: Hello my name is Claire and I love all animals. I have many years of experience of caring for animals. I have taken care of many dogs over the years. I have walked, fed, groomed and played with big and small dogs. I have also taken care of hamsters, fish, rats, frogs and other small pets. I volunteer with the cats at the Ottawa Humane Society. I provide enrichment to cats who are all unique. I am looking forward to meeting your furry friend. I am not currently working but I volunteer Saturday mornings at the Ottawa Humane Society. Should this change, I will update my profile as needed I will prioritize caring for your pet in their home as they would be most comfortable in a familiar environment. I will ensure that your cat is fed, has a clean litter box and gets plenty of enrichment.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.

“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
