“Nicole and Eddie went above and beyond for our dog Teddy. They took great care of him and made sure we had lots of photos and videos. Looking forward to the next time Teddy gets to stay!”
“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! ❤️”
“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!!!”
“I needed to find a sitter for my Maltese dog Lily while I was away on vacation for a week. I was worried because I had never left Lily overnight with anyone who was not family or friends. Lynda was amazing and she treated Lily like part of her family. Her three little dogs are adorable and were lovely companions for Lily. We arranged a meet and greet at Lynda’s home beforehand on short notice and I knew right away Lily would be loved and well taken care of. I received regular updates with pictures and videos and Lynda was very fast to reply to all my messages. Lynda has a lovely home that’s well equipped for dog sitting and I totally felt at ease leaving Lily with her. Lily even received a gift bag and follow-up message afterwards. Thank you Lynda for doing such a wonderful job caring for her.”
“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”
“Excellent service for us and my tiny pup. Joanna is very kind and caring for the dog and was very responsive when planning and answering questions. Awesome experience.”
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.
“Trudy was wonderful. I really felt that she treated my girl as she would her own. She updated us with lots of pics and videos and took care to understand our dog’s supplement routine. We’ll definitely be using her again to care for our pup :)”
“Wonderful place to leave your dog. We met Jason and his dogs and they were all just the nicest. Their place is very dog friendly, the yard is well fenced in, and our dog seemed really happy being there. Would definitely have them take care of our dog again.”
“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.”
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.
“Jacqueline took amazing care of our golden retriever and provided recommendations for us too. Would 100% send our beloved pet in her care again! Her premise is truly a resort for any family dog! Keeping our dog here felt guilt-free.”

“Michelle and family took great care of our Skittles. Will definitely use her again. She is very caring, and very knowledgeable on dog care. Went above and beyond on making Skittles feel at home, and provided us with lots of updates and pictures. Putting us at ease that all was well with Skittles!”
“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!”

About: I've always had a special connection with cats—growing up, I had several of my own, each with their own unique personality. Over the years, I’ve also housesat for friends and family, caring for their pets as if they were my own. I've looked after up to three cats at once, including a senior rescue who needed daily medication. I'm comfortable with a variety of care routines and always make sure each cat feels safe, loved, and well looked after while their humans are away.

“Un de nos chiens est très vieux et j’avais quelques craintes de partir de la maison. Alys-Mia a été formidable! Elle nous a tenu au courant lors de ses visites (photos/messages) et a pris en considération les différents besoins de Théo et de Gustave. Nous ne pouvions demander mieux et nous avons pu profiter de notre escapade l’esprit en paix. Merci Alys-Mia!”
“Meaghan was wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs, Rex and Biscuit during her drop in visit, and kept me updated with kind messages and photos throughout. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. She was professional, reliable, and very respectful of my home.

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.

I offer a full range of services—including walks, massage therapy, training, pet-sitting, boarding, and even poop cleanup! Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits both your needs and theirs. Safe, Trusted, and Comfortable Care for Your Dog 🐾 I provide mobile canine massage therapy in the comfort of your home, as well as dog walking and training services.

About: ROVER is my favourite way to enjoy pets and new areas. I work as an education assistant. I work short days on a full time basis. I am able to take weekdays within Ottawa if your pets can be left alone during the day. Weekends, holidays and summers I can go anywhere for my Rover clients. I am currently also in business for myself as a BreathWork & Transformation coach, and have workshops both online and in person. I am certified as a Spiritual coach, Meditation coach, and Manifestation coach. I have both a SSW and Business Management Diploma. I believe in continuous learning. Since I was born, I have always had a pet in my life. The dogs I have loved included a German Shepherd, a Shepherd mix, a Husky mix, a Shih Tzu, a Rottweiler /Boxer mix and a Boxer /French Pin mix. The cats in my life included a Calico mix, a Tiger mix, and a Manx. As my life goals are coming to fruition, I know that this is not the right time for me to personally home, love, and care for an animal of my own. My children are all grown, and I am currently more interested in traveling, whether in my own backyard or halfway around the world, I want to see all that I can!! I LOVE to have new adventures, I am simply here to provide the love I have for my own pets to your precious furry family member while enjoying your city, town or neighbourhood. My home is currently in Ottawa, and as I have been recently hired as an education, assistant, I am able to take Rover clients on weekdays within the Ottawa area, if you are close to Orleans. Most weekdays, I may be at work for 7 hours. On weekends, holidays and summers, I am able to travel further for my Rover clients. Much of my family lives in Cornwall, so I love the opportunity to take clients there. I am also willing to drive to Montreal, Pembroke/Petawawa, Kingston, Toronto or Niagara Falls areas if you need me for 1 week or longer. I am able to take your dogs out for short walks, weather permitting, if they are not pullers. As I don’t drink, smoke cigarettes, or use drugs, that will never be happening in your home. I have great energy that animals can feel. Most timid or shy dogs warm up to me faster than you would except. My reviews showcase the results. I have a clear criminal record as well as a clear vulnerable police record.

I love walking, so I can take your dog for extra long walks. They’ll love it. And I love playing games with dogs, so they’ll always be entertained. I’ve dog sat for a few friends. I used to take my friend’s dog Ben to my girlfriend Jen’s condo, so Ben could get out of his little apartment in the city and be in the burbs beside a park and beach.

About: Hello, my name is Shanna. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have been asked by many friends and family over the years to pet sit for them while they are away and have always enjoyed it. I would treat your pet as my own and have a total appreciation for how you would expect your babies to be loved and cared for during the the times you can't. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I currently work 9-4 during week days, with weekends off. I do morning and evening walks during work days. If your dog is used to work hours, I would be with them morning, night and weekends. I currently have one other dog in my home. If your dog is comfortable with other animals and having me take your dog as opposed to house sit at your place, I have a fenced in yard perfect for it.

“This was just a one hour meet to see how Ollie would manage with Tom's dog Callie and for me to get a sense of what the environment was like. I'd never leave my dog with someone I hadn't met or someplace I hadn't visited and I would have no qualms whatsoever about leaving Ollie with Tom.”
“I returned to Jacqueline and Jamie for a day of daycare for my dog this weekend, following an incredibly positive longer stay in the past. Jacqueline and Jamie's genuine care and attention made my dog feel right at home, ensuring a day full of play and fun. It's clear they pour their hearts into what they do, creating a loving environment for all pets. My dog came back so happily exhausted that he fell asleep immediately and was still catching up on rest the next day! :) It’s comforting to know there’s such a caring and trustworthy place for him. I can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”
“So happy that we were so lucky to have Trudy care for Bella today. We look forward to Trudy taking care of her in the future. Bella I'm sure will be telling us all about the "girls" day.”
“5+ stars to Ashley for her love and care with our Fergus!! Her home and yard were so welcoming for our pup, and it was evident that he had a great time there. We received lots of photos in the few short hours that he was in her care. And, following the visit, Ashley sent us a sweet video compilation of all the fun, activity and nap time that was had during Fergus stay ❤️. We will definitely choose Ashley for our future pup-sitting needs 👍. Thank you, Ashley!”

As a lifelong dog lover, devoted dog mama, and cat enthusiast, I offer a warm, welcoming, smoke-freehome where every furry guest is treated like family.

I’m passionate about nature and love walking forest paths and scenic trails, offering dogs enriching outdoor adventures tailored to their personality and pace. From energetic hikes to slow, sniff-filled strolls, every outing is meant to make them happy, fulfilled, and connected to the outdoors. Your pet will also enjoy the gentle friendship of my sweet dog, Bella, who loves having company. And they’ll be welcomed with open arms by my two kids, both over the age of 10, who are devoted animal lovers.

In winter I love to cut trails while snowshoeing- my girl Bella loves to come with me and explore!
“Laura es divina, y mi pupi ha estado como en casa. Mi perrita es muy viejita (tiene unos 15 años) y ha quedado ciega, por lo tanto no nos gusta dejarla muchas horas solas. Laura se ha encargado de ella durante todo el día, la ha llevado al parque y estuvo informandonos de Pupi constantemente. La recomiendo 100% y seguramente repetiremos. Gracias!”

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: 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! This is my full time business! I am available for Walks, Drop in Visits, and Overnight Visits whenever it suits your schedule. I provide pet services in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, and everywhere in between! I can assure you that I will provide the safest environment possible for your pets. Dogs will be kept on leash at all times when outside of their home or fenced yard. I have a great deal of experience administering medications, noticing differences in behaviour and health, and am detail oriented. I pay close attention to instructions and will take all safety measures possible to keep everyone safe.
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’ve been a dog owner for 14 years and have experience with puppies and seniors. I grew up in an household of cats and have provided pet sitting for dogs and cats for 10 years. I have cared for dogs from 12lb Schipperkes to 130lb Mastiffs and everything in between. I work from home during the day and am available for mid-day drop in visits and walks. I’ve got a flexible schedule during the day and can be available for your pet between 10-3. I am happy to work with your pet in whatever way they prefer. I am happy to cuddle up with your cat if she’s feeling lonely, or play with your dog to get some energy out. When walking dogs, I will stick to your routes and schedule and will make sure they get in some extra sniffs around the neighbourhood.
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.
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and started walking and caring for pets at a young age. I can guarantee that I will love and care for your pet more than anyone else would. I am currently waiting to start my new job which only starts at the end of this summer so I have a bunch of free time! I will fit in as much of pet care into my schedule as possible! I myself have a dog with extreme anxiety so I am experienced with all types of pets. I will assure your dog feels comfortable in all types of environments with my expertise.
“Our dogs absolutely loved Sarah! On top of that, she was fantastic at communicating with us while we were away so I felt super confident that they were having fun on their walks. Will definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a dog walker.”
About: Please read my full profile to ensure you have all the information you need! Currently only able to accept permanent part-time or full-time clients Monday-Friday in Perth and Lanark area in late afternoon. Thank you for checking out my profile! My name is Josee and a HUGE animal lover. I’ve been exposed to dogs, cats and other animals my whole life. I love to walk and hike with my own dog, as well as train and provide enrichment activities. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick drop-in, if you have a puppy or senior senior dog, you can count on me to ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable. I thrive on giving pets what they need—from walks to enrichment, snuggles, training, or just being a companion while you’re away. I am a confident handler and very respectful to each dogs wants and needs based on behavior, body language, and breed. I am confident in handling your nervous, difficult, or anxious dog if this is a concern. As a reactive dog owner, I understand it can be difficult or frustrating taking them out or ensuring that they’ve had enough mental stimulation and exercise during the day. Learning about dog behavior/body language, separation anxiety and positive reinforcement/force-free training has also been a large area of focus in the last 5 years and I'm certified in pet first-aid - I never leave the house without my pet first-aid kit! I also have my certificate in canine nutrition (Cert.CN) - helping dogs live their best and healthiest lives through diet, exercise and stress-free living. I’m highly respectful of your dogs’ individual needs, if they have a routine to follow and I will do whatever is needed to ensure that you feel comfortable with leaving your furry friend in my care—I will treat your pet as my own. Prior to scheduling, I like to do a face-to-face meeting before beginning my services. I am available days, early evenings and the occasional weekend for clients who are scheduling regularly. When caring for your loved one(s), I will begin by assessing your dogs’ behavior and comfort level upon each visit. I am highly respectful of house rules and routines and will always advocate for your pet. **PRICING & SCHEDULING** Please contact me for pricing and service schedules as prices listed on Rover are not firm.

“Nicole and Eddie went above and beyond for our dog Teddy. They took great care of him and made sure we had lots of photos and videos. Looking forward to the next time Teddy gets to stay!”
“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! ❤️”
“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!!!”
“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”
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.
“Trudy was wonderful. I really felt that she treated my girl as she would her own. She updated us with lots of pics and videos and took care to understand our dog’s supplement routine. We’ll definitely be using her again to care for our pup :)”
“Wonderful place to leave your dog. We met Jason and his dogs and they were all just the nicest. Their place is very dog friendly, the yard is well fenced in, and our dog seemed really happy being there. Would definitely have them take care of our dog again.”
“Jacqueline took amazing care of our golden retriever and provided recommendations for us too. Would 100% send our beloved pet in her care again! Her premise is truly a resort for any family dog! Keeping our dog here felt guilt-free.”
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.

“Michelle and family took great care of our Skittles. Will definitely use her again. She is very caring, and very knowledgeable on dog care. Went above and beyond on making Skittles feel at home, and provided us with lots of updates and pictures. Putting us at ease that all was well with Skittles!”
“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!”
“Kaori is a pro! She was an extremely lovely and thoughtful pet sitter for our lab (Penny). Lots of walks, amazing pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking services!”
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.
“Alaina was an amazing host to my husky. Having never boarded anywhere before, she quickly reassured me that she would take the best of care with her. And she did! Her home was the most welcoming place for a dog, from the free-flow from inside to out in a secure backyard, Cash immediately felt at home. Her pup was a great companion and host, as well. Alaina also kept in touch throughout the weekend with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend Alaina and would certainly board Cash with her again.”
“There should be more stars allowed for us to pick to show how fortunate our Maggie, and us, were to find Shadi, Kristen and Adam. Maggie received so much love and attention the entire week and we can clearly see that Maggie truly misses her temporary family. Any and all families who are looking for a family who treats their fur baby as if he/she were their own….this is the family to choose. We received excellent updates regularly, with pictures, showing just happy our Maggie was. Nothing but amazing things we have to say about them and if Maggie could talk, she would say the same thing. Thank you again Shadi, Kristen and Adam….we are so lucky to have found you guys. Take care. Derek/Ashley and Maggie.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you Micheala, Luna had a great time, and we were so comfortable leaving her is your very safe hands. Now we have to make sure we keep up/reinforce the new techniques that you taught her. Luna will be looking forward to the next time.”
