“Exceptional! Lynda provided such great care and attention to our 4 yr old Romeo. We were away for an extended vacation, the longest we had been separated from Romeo. Lynda, however, was so thoughtful and caring to send daily updates, photos and videos that we felt completely at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Lynda is very responsive and it’s obvious she genuinely cares for our fur baby. Lynda’s own three pups are simply adorable and welcomed Romeo into the pack and as such Romeo has started to improve his social skills and learning all about dog play. I cannot say enough good things about Lynda and her pups. She is a deeply caring person whose objective is to ensure our pup is given the best possible experience. Thank you Lynda, Hunter, Luna and Millie ♥️”
“Joan is so loving to my dog Simba. He was having a great time with her over the weekend and went on plenty of adventures with her! I'm afraid he might get bored with me at home now 😂. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby ❤️ I would definitely recommend!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Cosmo had a great time on his weekend stay with Nicole and Eddie. Once again they were great. Communication and accommodation was top notch. They clearly kept Cosmo busy with walks and playtime as he slept the whole day once he got home! We highly recommend Nicole and Eddie.”
“I cannot thank Nilgun enough for her incredible care for my dog, Sabrina! Nilgun made logistics a breeze by organizing the initial drop-off at the beginning and then was readily available for the pick-up at the end of the sit. She was incredibly thorough and even asked for my flight information so she could perfectly time the pick-up. She was also available at any time if I had a question, and her communication was flawless, providing the most wonderful, consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. At just a year old, this was only Sabrina’s second time away from home, so I was naturally a bit anxious, but Nilgun fully understood Sabrina’s personality and quirks right away. It is so clear that we share the exact same philosophy when it comes to dog-rearing and creating a calm, loving atmosphere. Her own three dogs were absolutely exceptional—so well-mannered and beautifully behaved, which made for such a positive environment. Sabrina felt so safe that she was completely comfortable eating, finished every single one of her full meals and got the perfect amount of exercise. Nilgun even took the time to brush her, which was such a lovely touch. Seeing the photos of Sabrina relaxing on Nilgun’s bed on the very first night— the comfortable way she looked at her—proved how safe and content she felt and gave me instant peace of mind. She was genuinely happy, and I will absolutely book again! Highly recommended.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog and will definitely return. They have an amazing property and made my dog feel extremely at home while I was away. She got the experience to socialize with other pooches. They constantly provide updates which gave me loads of peace of mind! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Rodrigo and his family were wonderful with our dog! April was a little nervous at drop-off, but Rodrigo made sure she settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout her stay. He sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure she got her walks and meals on schedule. When we picked her up, she was happy and clearly well looked after. He was also flexible when we needed to shorten her stay by a night. Highly recommend Rodrigo for pet boarding we’ll definitely book with him again for April!”
“Michelle is a kind, caring person who takes wonderful care of our dog! She always ensures to keep us in the loop with reports and pictures. We know our pup is in awesome hands and trust that he is happy and well while in her care.”
“Absolutely wonderful care for our dog Bella!!! Laura goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of as Laura loves dogs and making sure they are well treated and taken care of!!! Her family also has the same values of care for pets and makes sure your pet feels at home!!!”
“Gus just had his second stay with Lei and the bond they have is beautiful. It is obvious that they understand each other and have a connection. Gus is very happy and feels safe when in her care. We are so lucky to have found someone who loves our Gus as much as we do.”
“Hui was AMAZING with Max. He had never been left before. She provided regular updates with pics, videos and messages. She asked advice on what he liked to eat and play with. She was very engaged. Her house is a dogs dream with easy access to toys and water. I HIGHLY recommend her services. So thankful to have found a warm home environment away from home. She treated Max like one of the family.”
“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“What a great family experience for our fur baby! We were so happy about the experience from the word go. We would not hesitate to bring our girl back for more time with Meghan and John and family!”
“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”
“Our boys had a fantastic week with Heather and her family. We had a great vacation knowing they had settled in just like home. They both came home happy and tired, Ducky from exploring Heathers home and Bentley, from long walks, outings and adventures, thank you!”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”

About: Hi there! I’m Amanda — a lifelong animal lover and physiotherapist who also completed the Canine Rehabilitation program. I grew up at the stable, surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I got my first dog for my ninth birthday and have since cared for pets from puppies to senior dogs well into their golden years. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs, including one rescue pup I personally rehabilitated through patience, structure, and love. As a physiotherapist and certified canine rehab specialist, I have a strong understanding of mobility, comfort, and safe handling—especially for dogs recovering from injury, dealing with arthritis, or needing a bit of extra care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a gentle senior, or a pet who needs a little confidence and TLC, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide warm, knowledgeable, and reliable care so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day — just like they would with family. When caring for others’ pets, I always take the time to listen to their owners and follow each animal’s usual routine. I believe consistency and respect are key to helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for — just like they would at home.

“Sawyer has had a great start with Jacelyn and Jason. He has never had dog sitting before, and he has not spent a lot of time away from friends and family. With back to the office starting, we were looking for a solution and he has been really good so far. On his second visit when he hopped out of the car and realized where he was he went straight for the door, tail wagging which is a great sign. We plan to continue booking and working with them as care providers for Sawyer.”
“Rodrigo was an amazing dog sitter! I’m very happy with the care he provided for Milo. When I picked him up, Milo was calm, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which says a lot. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Jacqueline and Jamie have once again taken AMAZING care of Nelly! They are thoughtful and considerate people that truly care about the wellbeing of all the dogs they look after. Nelly is a tired, happy girl when we pick her up after day care and there is no doubt that she received so much love and attention in their care. I would recommend Jacqueline and Jamie to anyone in the area, your dog will be extremely lucky and well taken care of!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover living in Stittsville, Ottawa, and dogs have truly been my passion for as long as I can remember. I share my home with my own three well-socialized, crate-trained dogs and work mostly from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, company, and care throughout the day. I have a large, fully fenced, pie-shaped yard that’s safe, clean, and perfect for playtime. Dogs in my care are treated like family — they’re welcome to sleep freely in my bedroom with my dogs, have cozy pet beds, and follow a calm, loving routine. If your dog prefers or needs a crate, you’re welcome to bring one, and I’m happy to help with crate time when I step out. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, especially if you feel anxious about their care. My goal is to give you total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely having a great time. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am, and one day it’s my retirement dream. For now, I’m thrilled to offer a loving home-away-from-home for your pup. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat! I work 100% remote from home. I just go in and out for meetings and certain scheduling, but I’m rarely out of the house for longer than a few hours. Basically, aside from my job, dogs are my first priority and get the current attention. They need hourly if not minute by minute. I treat others dogs like I treat my own with love, warmth, and caring. I exercise the dogs daily and give them what they need to make sure that they’re tired out and before I ever leave the house for an hour or two if I need to, I make sure that they are let outside and that they’ve done their business so they don’t have to wait for me to get back.

About: I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. While my professional dog sitting experience is still growing, I approach every booking with dedication, patience, and attention to detail. I am comfortable following your dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and basic grooming. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, communicate clearly, and reach out if I ever have questions or concerns. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic or shy and adjust my approach accordingly. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and genuine attention. You can expect reliable service, regular photo updates, and honest communication throughout your booking.

I follow all care instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own. I’m mindful of security at all times, making sure doors and windows are properly locked, alarms are set if required, and keys are handled responsibly. I maintain a clean and organized environment and always leave the home as I found it. I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routines, sleeping areas, and daily habits. I understand that staying in their own home can be especially reassuring for many pets, and I do my best to create a calm, consistent environment while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and well being and watch closely for any changes that may indicate stress or discomfort. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly and transparently with the owner. I provide regular updates and photos and aim to build trust through reliability, honesty, and consistent care.

About: Hi I'm Victoria! Owner of VC'S Pet Services I have years of experience looking after beloved pets in professional kennel and pet care settings and strive to fulfill animals physical, and mental needs. Everything I do is out of respect for the animals I care for and the people who know them best. I am Canine CPR and First Aid certified, insured, and have extensive knowledge in animal behaviour. Your pets personal space will be respected, while ensuring their every need is fulfilled. While working in pet care facilities, I realized that they are not for everyone. Whether your pet has separation anxiety, can react when overwhelmed, doesn't like other animals, doesn't travel well, or simply prefers spending their time at home while your away, I will insure that their routine stays the same and that they are happy and content. Whether you are gone for a day, or a week, I will provide you and your beloved pets with professional services that will put everyone at ease. I can't wait to learn more about your pet!

About: As an animal lover who grew up on a farm, I have taken care of pets from a young age. I’ve previously worked in the pet industry, supporting pet owners and coordinating events with different local rescue organizations. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to, walk, feed and bathe their pets, as well as watching their homes while they travel. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pets! My schedule allows me to have flexibility on both weekdays and weekends! I take great pride in creating a safe and structured space for each, unique pet while they are in my care. I understand the importance of routine for pets, while pet parents are away, to help ensure overall care, comfort and safety. I understand that because each pet is different, that each care plan will vary, depending on the pets needs.
About: I’ve had puppies, kittens, even 10-day-old kittens that needed around-the-clock bottle feeding and care, so I’m no stranger to the messy, adorable, and sometimes chaotic side of pet parenting! I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and my fur babies are truly my pride and joy. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family - whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. You can expect lots of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands I work from home during the week and have very flexible hours, so it's easy for me to accomadate your schedule to make your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible while you're gone. Other than Sunday morning church services, my weekends are completely open to you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible for them. I follow your pet’s routine closely - including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping your home clean and respected, leaving things exactly as I found them (or better!). As someone who has 3 cats who's main goal in life is to escape to the great outdoors (and fails every time), safety is always a top priority, so I stay alert on walks, secure doors and gates, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behaviour and well-being. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

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.

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Cosmo had a great time on his weekend stay with Nicole and Eddie. Once again they were great. Communication and accommodation was top notch. They clearly kept Cosmo busy with walks and playtime as he slept the whole day once he got home! We highly recommend Nicole and Eddie.”
“I cannot thank Nilgun enough for her incredible care for my dog, Sabrina! Nilgun made logistics a breeze by organizing the initial drop-off at the beginning and then was readily available for the pick-up at the end of the sit. She was incredibly thorough and even asked for my flight information so she could perfectly time the pick-up. She was also available at any time if I had a question, and her communication was flawless, providing the most wonderful, consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. At just a year old, this was only Sabrina’s second time away from home, so I was naturally a bit anxious, but Nilgun fully understood Sabrina’s personality and quirks right away. It is so clear that we share the exact same philosophy when it comes to dog-rearing and creating a calm, loving atmosphere. Her own three dogs were absolutely exceptional—so well-mannered and beautifully behaved, which made for such a positive environment. Sabrina felt so safe that she was completely comfortable eating, finished every single one of her full meals and got the perfect amount of exercise. Nilgun even took the time to brush her, which was such a lovely touch. Seeing the photos of Sabrina relaxing on Nilgun’s bed on the very first night— the comfortable way she looked at her—proved how safe and content she felt and gave me instant peace of mind. She was genuinely happy, and I will absolutely book again! Highly recommended.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog and will definitely return. They have an amazing property and made my dog feel extremely at home while I was away. She got the experience to socialize with other pooches. They constantly provide updates which gave me loads of peace of mind! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Rodrigo and his family were wonderful with our dog! April was a little nervous at drop-off, but Rodrigo made sure she settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout her stay. He sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure she got her walks and meals on schedule. When we picked her up, she was happy and clearly well looked after. He was also flexible when we needed to shorten her stay by a night. Highly recommend Rodrigo for pet boarding we’ll definitely book with him again for April!”
“Michelle is a kind, caring person who takes wonderful care of our dog! She always ensures to keep us in the loop with reports and pictures. We know our pup is in awesome hands and trust that he is happy and well while in her care.”

“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“What a great family experience for our fur baby! We were so happy about the experience from the word go. We would not hesitate to bring our girl back for more time with Meghan and John and family!”
“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”
“Our boys had a fantastic week with Heather and her family. We had a great vacation knowing they had settled in just like home. They both came home happy and tired, Ducky from exploring Heathers home and Bentley, from long walks, outings and adventures, thank you!”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”

“We loved how Alaina communicated with us and how welcoming she is, a true home environment for our furry-not-so-baby-anymore. Nicolas enjoyed his time with Cowen and his family. Thanks!”
“Erin was fantastic with our two labs. She is patient and caring and we know they were in good hands while we were gone for two weeks. She was responsive to communication and provided updates, which increased our trust and confidence. We would not hesitate to leave our pups with her in the future.”
