Dog Sitting Navan

“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: You can rest easy knowing I’ll care for your furry family member with love and attention. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and today I share my home with a playful two-year-old Shorkie. Together, we’d be thrilled to welcome your pup into our home, where they’ll feel safe, happy, and part of the pack. Pet care: Unconditional love, water, food, poop and pee outings. Daily routine: Much of the same but with a bonus walk once I’m done work. I have a fenced yard, so your fur baby will have plenty of space to sniff, explore, do their business—and of course, earn a treat for being a good pup! (If only humans got rewards for that too 😉).

About: I have been honoured to be from a very animal Oriented family and have lived on a farm for most of my life. I have cared for and have given the best care and love to animals such as, Guinea pigs, cats, turtles, horses, dogs, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. I was born an animal lover and every animal becomes my family. I can identify special needs in any animal such as first aid, anxiety issues etc I work from home, so your pet has 24/7 attention. Be prepared for your loved one to get 3-4 walks a day along with an hour play time or a trip to the dog park daily! I have a fenced yard. My golden retriever is very patient and loves all types of dogs. If your dog is allowed on the couch or bed, well so is mine. I would rather your dog be able to cuddle and be comfy right beside me during the night to make them feel trust, and feel more comfortable in a strange environment. I am able to make every animal feel like home. Just ask my references … if your dog likes burger patties from McDonalds or pup cups from star bucks… I’m your girl… I am very experienced with highly reactive and aggressive dogs as well. Unfortunately, I do Have a dog of my own, but can manage very well as I am highly trained with aggressive dogs. I believe all dogs can be trained in a well loved and supportive environment once triggers are identified I spoil every animal like it’s my own! Great with puppies and super forgiving. We all make mistakes even if it’s our furniture!!! I have tons of training experience to make this not happen! I am fear based certified as I am a canine enrichment volunteer at the Ottawa Humane Society

“We scheduled an additional meet and greet with a walk so that our dog could get more familiar with Nicole. Nicole sent a reminder and was on time. She asked questions to get to better understand our nervous dog and was gentle and patient with her.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m patient, caring, and reliable, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I have experience pet sitting and fostering, so I understand how important it is to give pets time to feel comfortable and provide them with lots of love, attention, and reassurance. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently unemployed and therefore have an open availability. Please feel free to message me for specific schedules and I will let you know if I am available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if required), exercise, house rules, and preferred routines. I take time to build trust with each pet and adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. I also keep the home clean and respectful, ensure pets always have fresh water, supervise outdoor time, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Kelly took care of my 2 cats while I was away for almost 3 weeks and she was great. She was very dedicated and responsible, specially in regards to one of my cats that had some special needs. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve always had animals in my life. I share my home with two Siamese sisters, Jade and Rosie, and before that I had a Shih Tzu named Rio who I adored. He passed three years ago, but he’s still a big part of why I love caring for pets. I’m active, I love being outdoors, and walking dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend time. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work full time, but my evenings and weekends are wide open. That gives me plenty of time to walk dogs, check in on pets, and give them the attention they need. I’m active and love being outdoors, so fitting pet care into my routine feels natural for me.

Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.

“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’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶❤️ I’m a patient and attentive pet caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, a little shy and needs time to warm up, or simply enjoys some company and attention during the day, I’m happy to adapt to them. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog is different, and I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and never rushing a dog beyond their comfort level. When your dog is with me, my priority is simple: their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕 IG pawsandgrace26 My schedule allows me to dedicate my weekdays to pet care, especially during the daytime when many pet parents are at work. I’m available Monday through Friday from approximately 10 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, and other pet-care needs. I’m also sometimes available on weekends depending on my schedule.

I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally escape. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I want both pets and their families to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in my care.

“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”

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.
