House Sitting in Oka

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

About: I've been talking care of all types of animals since as far back as I can remember. I've had fish, geckos, crabs, and dogs, as well as interned and volunteered at veterinary clinics. I've even done dog photography! Neighbors, friends, and families have relied on me to walk and feed their pets numerous times. I love, care for, and respect all animals. I currently have two dogs and a pet gecko! Rover is currently my full-time job. I am available every day and most hours of the day. My day to day schedule is generally flexible and uninterrupted In my home I have three pets who are very well-loved, fed and exercised daily, as well as hours of play time and interaction. In all my services, I aim to treat and care for pets as my own as well as abiding by the rules and concerns of their parents.

“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”

About: Hi! I am Moxesh and I am from India. Even though I just started this as a job I had a dog and I took care of it for a year but we had to give him up but the love I have for animals is something that wouldn't change and as far as the services are concerned, I'll take care of your pets by feeding, exercise and giving them companionship. I'll walk them, give them a bath, brush them after the bath and also give them food and water timely and would look after them as of they're my babies, I would try to take care of any mess that occurs. I would just like to say that I will be truly honored if you gave me a chance and I would do my best to not let you down.

About: I have 2 dogs (golden doodles), ive been taking care of them for the past 11 years. I walk them 3 times a day, bath and cut their hair myself. With my 2 dogs, I walk them morning, afternoon and night, I always find a way to squeeze them around my schedule. I can do the same for you. I care for pets by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, comfort, and respect. I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Hiba was very attentive and caring for Boozer while we were out. She was so accommodating and was understanding about some concerns we had (a very scary experience with another Rover care giver). She put us at ease, and was a pleasure to work with, we would highly recommend her services! Thank you Hiba!”

About: My goal for when taking care of others animals is to make sure they’re comfortable and feel like they’re part of the family while their family is away. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life. Ive had many dogs as well and trained them myself. I’m now a certified trainer as I love the challenge it brings. If there is another animal such as, bunnies, rats, lizards, ferrets, etc… I’ve taken care of them all and more! Provide me with the info as to what animal needs to be cared for and I’m sure I can take them in. ***( All animals I have at home are use to different types of animals. You can rest easy knowing they will not be bothered by my animals if they’re not use to them)*** Je parle aussi français For the most part I’m at home Monday through Sunday. Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m out for three hours in the morning working. Potty breaks are always available:) I have a puppy and a cat. Treats and love are always available. If there are any food allergies I’m use to this, it’s not a problem. If they need a bath I’m happy to do so ☺️ I make homemade treats but I always ask when I meet with you if they can have them.

About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed

“Manon a pris grand soin de Boogie, elle lui a appris des nouveaux tours, a tenté d'améliorer sa réactivité et elle a joué avec lui. Manon a aussi administré les médicaments et a fait vivre des belles nouvelles expériences à Boogie. Dès qu'on la rencontre, on voit qu'elle a le tour avec les chiens et qu'elle les adore ! Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos pendant notre voyage ce qui a été très apprécié. J'ai été en confiance avec Manon, elle est d'une spontanéité accueillante et déborde d'énergie. Et elle est aussi très respectueuse de la maison, à notre retour c'était impeccable! Merci Manon!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life! Have owned 2 golden doodles and a havanese & lots of cute silly cats! Tons of experience with puppies as well as elderly dogs. Friends, family, & neighbours always reach out for me to watch their fur babies while they are away:) I’m currently on Vacation until April, so almost every day of the week is free for me to play & care for your pup! I love being outdoors & am happy being outside all day with them - even in the cold! I have a big open yard with long leashes & a wide one bedroom apartment with lots of space for playtime! Whether we’re at your home or mine, I will make them feel as comfortable as they are when you are with them🤗

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“We honestly cannot say enough good things about Cristine. The day before we left, our dog unexpectedly had to go to the vet, which meant we were leaving him with multiple medications and a lot of anxiety on our end… we were so nervous about traveling under those circumstances, but Cristine immediately put us at ease. She went above and beyond in every possible way… following medication instructions perfectly, keeping us updated, and caring for him with so much attention, patience, and genuine kindness. It was clear she truly cared about his comfort and well-being!!! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home… and most importantly, complete peace of mind while we were away. Trusting someone with your dog is one thing… trusting someone when your dog isn’t 100% is another… and Cristine exceeded every expectation. If we could give 6 stars, we absolutely would. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again… highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”

About: Hi my name is Sena, and I am a qualified pet sitter who you can trust to take great care of both your dog and cat. Any opportunity to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs is a great opportunity to me. I am incredibly reliable and trustworthy. I am great at treating each dog appropriately to his or her needs/boundaries. My schedule is greatly flexible as I work from home and on my own time.

I will make sure to follow any instructions you give me. Whether that be your pet’s daily routine, their personality traits, their favorite walking spots, their medication needs, daily food intake, their favorite games/toys.

About: Je suis photographe animalière (je peux offre des services de photographie!), les animaux sont une vraie passion pour moi et j'en prends soin comme si c'était mes enfants! :) Depuis toute petite j'ai possédé tous types d'animaux: Chiens, chats, chevaux, lapins, poules, hamsters, etc. J'ai aussi travaillé en tant que guide de randonnée à cheval et guide de traineaux à chiens ainsi que comme palefrenière et dans divers fermes d'animaux. J'ai dressé plusieurs chiens et débourré plusieurs chevaux (je pratique l'équitation depuis 23 ans). J'ai l'habitude de m'occuper d'animaux, de les nourrir, les nettoyer mais aussi les soigner (je sais même prodiguer des piqûres/vaccins, faire des bandages, etc). J'ai gardé plusieurs fois des chiens, chats et chevaux. Je suis photographe et je gère mon propre emploi du temps et travaille principalement de la maison donc j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour vos amis à 4 pattes! Je pourrais possiblement accueillir des animaux de compagnie en cage (type lapin) chez moi. Mais je suis surtout intéressée à venir m'occuper d'animaux (chiens/chats/chevaux) à domicile. Si je viens garder un chien une journée complète par exemple, je travaille de mon ordinateur et j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour m'occuper de votre animal, le chouchouter, le sortir, jouer avec lui, etc.
