She got how with her usual exciting nestled in for a nap. A very clear sign she had a good time. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of Daisy. We will be back again.”

“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”

Glory I.

“Jennifer was fantastic with our Rosie. She provided regular updates and pictures. She was attentive to Rosie and even pointed out that one of her ears was starting to look red and offered to take her to our vet. Rosie did will with Finn also (I'm sure he will be missing his annoying little dog-sister!) I cannot recommend Jen enough. I am so glad we found you and will be requesting your services whenever we go away!”

About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.

“April is an amazing person.. she went above and beyond to look after our fur baby Oscar. He was so happy staying with her and playing with her little fur babies! April’s husband Alan was just as supportive as her. These guys are real gems!”

Krish S.

“Oz was amazing with my dog Orion. He boarded him for two days and never once did I worry about his care. He’s very knowledgeable, kind and timely with updates. He really understands dogs well.”

About: My name is Samantha and I've been a lifelong lover of all creatures great and small! I am currently a mom to a 8 year old miniature schnauzer, but I've had a kitty or dog companion by my side my entire life. I'm new to Mississippi Mills and I would love to meet your pet. Friends in Ottawa have relied on me to check in on their fur babies, take them for walks, feed them dinner, or simply spend time with them! I'm very reliable, I work from home 4 out of 5 week days, have a car, am flexible and adaptive. I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week and am typically available on evenings and weekends. If your pup likes other pups I can have them join in on my routine walks with my little schnauzer. If not, that's cool too! I'm always down for a solo walk. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your furry baby will be well taken care of! I can be trusted to do drop in visits, spend time petting, playing with, feeding or walking your baby.

“Ashley treated Rooster like family the minute she met him. Her communication, understanding, flexibility and professional is top tier! She saved us when we were in a pinch and made Rooster feel right at home! Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.

“She’s awesome. She goes above and beyond. She went on so many adventures with our dog. And that’s what we appreciate the most- we wanna see our dog forming memories as much as we do. Thanks for everything!”

About: Shortly after moving to Renfrew, I rescued my dog Sage in July 2024. She is from Baffin Island, Nunavut—and I was initially told that she was a husky but she never grew! Given her size and demeanour, we believe her to be a Shiba Inu mix—we just aren’t sure how she ended up in the Arctic! About me: I have always loved animals, and I took this passion into account when choosing my first home. The house has a very large fenced-in yard that Sage loves to roam freely in. I enjoy spending much of my time in the backyard, whether in the garden or playing with Sage. Since I have all this space, and the time, I figured it would be a fun and rewarding opportunity to welcome other pets into my space on occasion, overnight on weekends or during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I am also quite active, and would be happy to have another pup joining Sage and I on our walks! My partner and I both work full-time, though I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I am also often available on weekends, allowing me to provide dogs with consistent attention and care. I am very adventurous with my own dog, taking her on camping trips, hikes, canoes and SUPs—she does it all and loves it! I am very active and take Sage on at least two walks per day on weekdays, also playing in the yard for about an hour each day. On weekends, I tend to go on longer walks or hikes in the area, and sometimes go to the cottage for an evening or two, where my dog will join me on snowshoe trips in the winter or boat rides in the summer. All in all, Sage is very spoiled and has my attention all the time—I love her so much and I would be happy to have her make friends with the other dogs in the area, which would be treated with a paralleled affection! As mentioned, I have a very large fenced yard which will allow your dog to play with my dog for as long as they want! My dog has free range of the house, and sleeps in bed with my partner and I (spoiled!!!). I would be happy to respect any rules that you have for your own pet when it comes to food, crating, training, etc. Our dog does her business outside in the yard, and it is preferred that your dog does the same (no pee pads). Your dog can be dropped off whenever works best for you, or I can pick them up if nearby enough. I can provide all-day daycare with two walks and free range of the backyard (with close supervision) on Tuesdays and Fridays (morning drop-off with evening pickup), or I can watch your dog all weekend (Friday morning to Sunday evening). During all of these times I will be home, but may need to leave the house for a maximum of two hours to go get groceries, etc. My dog is very playful, so ideally your dog is also playful and medium-high energy. I can of course watch lower-energy dogs, but would want to make sure they get along with my rambunctious pup first!

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I started within my own household and once I was old enough I started dog walking after school, into adulthood I have taken my fair share of dog sitting jobs and walking when I have had the chance. I have some spare time now that I’d like to fill with surrounding myself with animals again. I work part time, and on my days off I’m looking for a Job that brings me happiness, so no better way than surrounding myself with fur babies and helping support them when their parents are busy. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, animals have a very special place in my heart and they deserve the best care possible.

About: About Ricardo I have over 8 years of experience as a dog sitter, walker and Behaviorist in Mexico. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had a natural ability to understand and connect with them. Over 10 years ago, when my dog Horchata joined my life, she was energetic and needed guidance. I took a diploma in Spain to learn how to help her become balanced and confident. Later, friends began asking me to care for their dogs while they travelled, and they were impressed to see how their pets improved after staying with me for a few weeks. That experience motivated me to dedicate my life to dog care, something I enjoy. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. This role gives me hands-on experience with routines, enrichment, feeding, safety, and observing behavior changes. I have availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care and/or for a great walk. Although I live in an apartment, I know the value of frequent walks and I take them seriously. I stay attentive to each dog’s needs and adapt to their routine and personality. I’m available every day and almost all the time since I work from home, which makes this the perfect activity for me. I recently left a two-year job to dedicate myself fully to pet care again. Although I live in an apartment, I know how important frequent walks are, and I take them seriously. I always stay attentive to each dog’s needs and can easily adapt to every pup’s routine and personality.

“Melissa was so easy to work with! She was okay with a last minute booking and flexible about having to adjust pick up time! She was so kind to interact with! She was handed 2 dogs and navigated it with ease and no complaints! Will be back!”

Keshia F.

“Oz was fantastic! he took Buck for multiple walks everyday and played with him. he was very attentive and went above and beyond what I expected. Following the first day with Oz, Buck was very excited when we mentioned seeing him again! Bonus, he was exhausted after every day! Oz was very accommodating with our schedule! Oz truely has a passion for taking care of dogs and I will definitely be taking Buck there again in the future.”

About: I grew up with pets and have loved them ever since. I have had many furry friends over the years and appreciate the company of a good dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. With working from home on a regular basis, looking after a dog works well. I just lost our old Golden Retriever Rosie this summer and it has left a hole in my heart, especially her furry companion, Finn the ragdoll cat. If you have a Great Friendly Dog that is Totally comfortable with cats, please reach out to me as I would love to give them some love while you are away. I love hiking and walking so would look forward to doing this with your furry friend. I have a fenced back yard but would expect to give good daily walks for your dog. They could be in and out of the house as they wish.

About: I love animals and enjoy every moment with them. My dream is to be able to have a rescue as all four of my animals are from rescues. I have decreased my hours at work to be back home more due to the rising cost of gas. I have more time to take on these duties. Every situation is different. You respect the same trust and safety for every pet weather is yours or someone else's. For dogs always leashed as you never know the situation of a pet.

“On the first walk, Jessica took the time to get to know Bentley. This was really helpful to put him at ease. It's evident she has a lot of experience with dogs. She was spot on in identifying my dog's behaviours and I felt confident that he was well cared for.”
