About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.

“Kyla was wonderful in accommodating our last minute request for dog walking. She went above and beyond with her walks and I can tell that our pup was very happy with her. Thank you for the wonderful attention to our Charlie girl, Kyla!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, from my two beloved cats, Easton and Leo, to rabbits, a conure, chickens, ducks, and fish. I genuinely love and respect all animals, and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment.

“The owner of Shakespeare was very nervous about trusting a stranger to look after her precious little dog. With her kindness and cheerful disposition, Bev was able to help both dog and owner to happily adjust to having a dog walker. We are grateful for her help!”

“Kaela loves dogs! You could tell and dogs love her too. I had no worries eject Kaela was walking Tuck! She took pictures and provided a log of Tuckers walk. All this in just 30 minutes. Fantastic. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Kaela!”

“My dog took an instant liking to Erica. She is clearly very comfortable with big dogs who love to be loved (and might be a bit over exuberant). Erica quickly responded and was a pleasure to meet. I have no hesitation in recommending Erica’s dog walking services.”

About: Having worked at PetSmart, I am formally trained in basic animal behaviour, proper handling techniques, and standard pet safety. I specialize in maintaining seamless, stress-free routines for healthy, independent dogs. I am a detail-oriented professional and meticulous home manager, ensuring your property remains clean, secure, and compliant with home insurance requirements while you travel. I work a rotating shift schedule, typically alternating between daytime (7:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and evening (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM) hours. Because my hours shift, I am the perfect fit for highly independent, low-maintenance dogs who are comfortable being left alone for an 8-hour stretch at various times of the day. No matter my shift, I always provide a dedicated presence at the home overnight, ensuring your property is secure and your pets get their consistent morning and late-night routines. I strictly follow all homeowner instructions regarding property security, locking doors, and gate safety. To ensure the highest possible quality of care and complete safety, I exclusively limit my services to properties with no pets or to healthy pets that do not require medical care, injections, or complex medication schedules. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, bringing in mail, and managing curbside bins so it always looks occupied. I am also a dog owner.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with diabetes and epilepsy, working dogs (boxer, gsp, Aussie) as well as smaller bichons and frenchies. I’m between dogs personally and ready to care for your fur baby. Recently retired and flexible in my routines both day and night. I’ve been travelling and dog sitting along the way. Will get 10,000 daily steps in with or without a leashed friend. Can do off leash playtime once I’m assured of your pet’s recall skills. I have a fenced yard and a 5km paved path network at my disposal for care at my home. I would follow your routines at your home.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
