About: I have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. Im available friday after 12m to Sunday, I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in a large apartment with plenty of open space, around 50 square meters available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.

About: I've been a cat lover and owner for over 20 years. I love having dogs in our home, playing and taking walks in our local neighborhood. I work from home full time and would love extra company. I'm looking to gain more hands on experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly cats. A large house that is warm and loving. Live close to parks for walks and exploring.

“I asked Vannesa to take care of my cat a few times now. I felt good about leaving my cat in Vannesa's care each time. I also booked a few times last minute and I appreciated a lot the willingness to accommodate that. Great communication. As far I can tell, my cat received a lot of love each time (along with all the food, water, hygiene care <3 ). I'm likely to book again!”

About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle, thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. For dogs, I offer taking your furry friend on long walks, making them feel at ease with my calm presence and of course cuddles and treats! For cats I offer doing home visits, during these I will feed, clean the litter box, clean up if there are any accidents as well as deep-cleaning litter boxes and help maintain a tidy environment, which is especially helpful for multi-cat households or those with limited mobility. I will of course give your kitties cuddles and play time! I can host cats as well as small dogs in my condo as long as they are okay with my playful 3-year-old cat named Mango and are potty trained. I am also comfortable giving puffers to cats as my cat has asthma and I give him a puffer daily. I am comfortable with all kinds of temperaments as I’ve done numerous home visits, I am always patient and gentle with the cats and dogs and whether they love company or prefers their space, I take the time to understand what they need to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you for your consideration 😊 I have a full time job but I work from home twice a week so I am able to care for pet’s after work or during my lunch break when I am home! I have a condo that is perfect for small animals. I already have a cat named Mango who is a very social boy and so I would be able to board cats that are socialized with other cats as well as small dogs.

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.

About: With 7 years of professional pet care experience (and a lifetime of being a personal pet parent!), I've had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. During that time, I've provided dog walks, in-home pet sitting, and cat care, and I've encountered a wide variety of situations that have taught me how to stay calm, think ahead, and handle unexpected issues with confidence. I understand that every pet thrives on routine. That's why I make it a priority to keep your pet's schedule as close as possible to what they're used to while you're away. Whether it's mealtime, walks, playtime, medications, or bedtime, I pay close attention to the details that help your pet feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Clients describe me as reliable, courteous, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are receiving attentive, loving care. When you trust me with your pets, you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. My goal is simple: to make your absence as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 Caring for pets is my full-time profession, giving me the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and provide dependable, attentive care. Whether you need routine visits or last-minute assistance, you can count on me to be available when your pets need me most. I'm detail-oriented and treat every home with the utmost respect. I'll follow all instructions carefully, keep your home tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If an unexpected situation arises, I remain calm, communicate promptly, and take appropriate action to ensure your pet's safety. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease, knowing they're receiving reliable, compassionate care in the comfort of their own home.

“I could not be happier with Elena. My dog has severe separation anxiety and was adjusting to a recent move. She did some drop in visits with him to help ease the transition. She was so communicative and the perfect gentle soul for my little dog! She also gave me some considerate advice (sonic egg/thunder shirt, things I didn't know about) to help him slowly adjust. She is truly an animal lover and really cares! <3 Thank you Elena!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my German Shepard since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats ever since and would love to host your pet. I have trained my dog with patience and will be able to handle absolutely anything! I currently work permanent part time and will be able to take care of your pet whenever I am available. With that said, this includes walks, nutrition, and overall attention to the dog/cat during the entirety of their stay. My house does not have any hazards and has a fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I live in a very safe and beautiful neighbourhood that can accommodate any pet. My house is far from any major road, surrounded by a golf course, and is close to various parks and pathways that the pets may enjoy.

“Rachel showed my sweet kitty lots of love and attention while I was away! She sent updates daily, communicated reliably, and I could tell he was looking forward to her company. She was also very patient and flexible with me when I needed a sitter at the last minute and my plans kept changing sporadically. I'm very appreciative for her help looking after him, and will definitely call on her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs big and small since I was a child. My mother and aunt run a dog kennel with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. They also run a local breeding service giving me lots of experience with dogs young and old. I currently still own a bernadoodle who loves his walks I’m sure as much as your dog does too. I work shift work and on my days off love staying active when I’m not with my children. I love being outside and what better excuse to have than to help get your loved ones some exercise. I am strictly a dog walker or someone who can come to your house and let your animals out in the yard for a stretch and exercise.
