“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! ❤️”

“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”

Let us give your pets an enriching experience while you're away, and you peace of mind that they are in not one but two sets of good hands.

We are currently building a kennel on our wooded retreat, and in the meantime, our home is open! We are home full-time and spend our days outside tending to the property, bringing your pets along, with lots of water and indoor breaks. We have a fenced yard and the house is able to be segmented off depending on the needs (puppy pen, cat area with dogs, cat area dog free, day crated, whatever your comfort is.

About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.

About: I have had 3 rescue dogs over the last 26 years, ranging in age from a puppy to rescuing a 3 year old Malamute. I care for all my pets for their whole lives with me. I work from home and can spend as much time as needed with each dog, they can spend time in my office when I am working. I have a completely fenced in backyard and I am close to several walking paths and a dog friendly park for playing. Playing in my house is also an option for those rainy days.

About: I've lived alongside many cats in my lifetime - I've always felt as though every cat in the world is my friend, and yours is no different! I am gentle, patient and receptive to cats and their needs. I understand that some cats are a little more cuddly, and others are fans of their own personal space - I love them all just the same. I've cared for kittens, senior cats and everything in between - I definitely don't discriminate. I'm a genuine cat lover - I offer discounted ratings for longer bookings and discounts for repeat clients. As a settler in Ottawa, I recognize that I am on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. I offer free compassionate care for Indigenous cat owners, and discounted rates for low-income or disabled cat owners. Message me today<3.

About: I've had dogs for the last 20 years, usually with four in the house at a time. We've had a Shih-tzu, three Jack-Shih-tzus, a Great Pyrenees, and now a solo Maltie-Poo named Dozer. Every dog I meet is a new friend, and I have to admit that I knew the names of all the dogs in my last neighborhood, and like maybe three of the owners names. Happy to walk active dogs that need long walks. For doggy day care and boarding we have to restrict it to small dogs because our own small dog is picky about which larger dogs he likes. Other animals: I've also taken care of farm animals. Dairy cows and calves, and feeding chickens and putting them in for the night. I've kept both freshwater and marine tanks and can check up on your fish or your reef while you're away. No worrying about your niece or nephew dumping a whole container of bug bites into the tank while you're gone and causing an ammonia spike. I've also kept constrictors and colubrids (but not currently), crested geckos, and dart frogs, and am familiar with the husbandry of each. I have a flexible schedule and am in between writing contracts at the moment so have lots of time available for scheduling check-ins and walks for local puppers. I can check-on and feed pets as needed, dispense necessary meds, walk them from your home, or load them in the car and take them to the Cataraqui Trail for longer walks / more active dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Allie. I've owned five rescued huskies. I currently have 3 huskies. I walk, groom, feed, and train my animals. I have fostered two dogs, one which was a palliative case. I am comfortable giving medication and other medical care (ie: ear cleaning). I have been paid to board two dogs by a private client and had them as clients for a year. With the dog rescue I volunteer with, I have provided transport for dogs ranging in personality. I work full time from home, Monday - Friday. With my own dogs, they receive 4 walks per day (2 hours total), along with 30 mins of playtime. We visit a private fenced dog park. I spend most of my free time with my dogs. I am also heavily involved with an Ottawa based dog rescue. I transport dogs, have fostered, and do short term dog sitting for fosters. My dogs are fitted with a harness and I use a waist belt to walk them. No dropped leashes! Unless you have a preference, for safety, your dog would be double leashed - one waist belt and one slip lead. I have double front doors, helping to prevent any escaped dogs. I own two huskies so am very familiar with escape artists. Any toys or bones given (strictly only with request or permission from owner) will only be with the dog when supervised (helps to prevent obstructions & other possible injuries) I have a completely fenced backyard. However, your dog would still be supervised while outside. We will not meet other dogs while walking unless you would like your dog to. Proper communication will be used with other dog owners and off leash dogs will not be allowed to approach. This keeps all parties safe and comfortable.

About: I have several years of professional and independent pet care experience, including dog daycare, pet retail, dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting, overnight care and extended stays. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility for pets who benefit from having someone around throughout the day, and I’m especially interested in building relationships with regular clients. I previously worked in dog daycare where I cared for groups of up to 75 dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, crating, administering medications, puppy care, senior care and working with special-needs dogs who require additional attention or accommodations. I’m also trained in canine first aid and comfortable caring for pets with more involved routines. Through my previous work at Village Pets Boutique, I gained extensive knowledge of pet nutrition, supplements and natural health products. Before that, I worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart, giving me an even broader background in animal care and handling. I’m equally comfortable with cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my work at PetSmart as well as independent drop-ins, house sitting and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable staying in a client’s home for extended periods and frequently provide this type of care while clients are travelling. Animals have also always been a huge part of my life outside of work. I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and currently have two black Labs back home, Louie and Lenny. I bring a calm, capable and compassionate approach to pet care and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, overnight sitting and extended stays, and I’m especially interested in finding regular clients who need consistent weekly care. My schedule can vary week to week, so feel free to message me about what you’re looking for! For house sitting, I’m very comfortable staying overnight or for longer periods and can often continue my normal workday from your home while keeping your pet company. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, especially when caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your usual feeding, walking, medication, crate, sleep and exercise routines and take the time to learn your pet’s individual habits, boundaries and personality. My professional daycare experience has made me very comfortable reading animal body language, recognizing stress or changes in behaviour and safely managing pets with very different temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with more specific routines or needs. When house sitting or staying overnight, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is cared for while they’re away, not just their pet!

“Our Portuguese water dog Splash spent a day with Faye for doggy day care. Faye sent several text updates and videos during the day, to show us how our sweet girl was doing. I'd mentioned to Faye that Splash is a real "people dog," and she sent several videos to reassure me that Splash was getting lots of cuddles. Faye is a warm, friendly person, and it's clear that she loves dogs. It was good to know that Splash was in good hands while we were out for the day. We've booked Splash with Faye for a 10-day stay in a couple of months. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services.”

About: I have had my own dog and/or taken care of friends and family's dogs for close to 40 years. Now that I'm retired, I am home all day and available for walks, potty breaks, playtime throughout the day and evenings. We have nice walking paths for plenty of socialization or quiet streets for those who are more on the timid side. Work is now a thing of the past, ready to spend time with more furry four-leggers and less time with bossy two-leggers lol. My days are all about my dogs, reading and going for walks. I have a fully fenced yard, not a huge yard though which is why we prefer to go for multiple walks a day for exercise. Our dogs are always allowed on our furniture as we see them as a member of the family and not just some pet. Fresh water is always available 24/7.

They didn't even really react when I left. They had a fun day playing with Karen's dogs both in the house and in the lovely back yard. They come home relaxed and tired - a sure sign of a good day!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just having them around the house. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving your dog alone for long periods. I’m dependable, patient, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any other specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, and playtime, and I can adjust my routine to accommodate your dog’s needs. I enjoy getting outside for walks and having dogs around while I work, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m also available on weekends and can coordinate with owners to make sure their dog’s regular schedule is maintained. I take the safety and comfort of every dog seriously. In my home, I provide a clean, comfortable environment where dogs can relax and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them and make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, walks, and access to fresh water. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any specific rules or preferences. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet receives the same dependable care and attention. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their dog is safe and doing well.

“Stephanie was so kind to help us out last minute in a pinch. We have two border collies with high energy and crazy personalities and Stephanie put my mind at ease knowing she had 5 dogs of her own at home and knew how to handle strong dogs. Will definitely ask her to walk my dogs again and again!”

About: Armed with over 3 years of dog training and care experience working in kennels, doggy daycares, pet sitting and dog walking I can ensure the best care for your pets. I am certified in canine first aid and have experience with large animals like horses, pets like cats and dogs, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and rats. I have been an animal lover for my whole life, always having an animal in the home. I have grown my clientele base through word of mouth and wanted to expand to other avenues. Im currently in school part time with a relatively open schedule. I am unavailable Thursdays between 9:30-11:30, but otherwise available any day, whenever is most convenient for the client. I have a shared courtyard with grassy areas that I take dogs out to on a leash. There is also the brock trail close by to walk for a quiet trip, or walking downtown for those more adventures pups. I have a private room that they can be secluded in if needed, but for the most part they can have the run of the apartment with supervision.

“Maer started walking my dog when she was a pup two and a half years ago. Over the years, she has consistently provided excellent service, great recommendations on training and useful observations on my dog's behaviour and interests. She is patient and loving, which has built the dog's confidence and trust. Maer is incredibly reliable, flexible to changes in schedules and trustworthy. I would strongly recommend her. She's amazing.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I’ve been watching neighbours, family and friends pet when they need a helping hand. Always looking forward to getting outside to go for walks. I’m currently working from home, so it allows me to keep an eye on your pet. During my breaks I can play with your pet as well as give them lots of love and attention throughout the day! I have a big yard for your dog to run around in. Recently got a puppy, so it would be great for them to play together.

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. 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 an apartment with balcony, 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.

About: I have taken care of my cat for 10 years. His name is Miles and he the most lovable cat you you will ever meet. I love animals and animals should always be treated with love, care and respect. I have taken care of different type of dogs throughout my life, small to really big dogs. Animals are just like us in a way, all they need is love and attention. Cats and dogs are our babies and its it's importmant to always have a structure in they're everyday life. . When i have other Dogs or Cats I make sure to set timers so they are able to go for walks, use the bathroom, have nap time, play time and always making sure that they are eating food in a timely manner and also food that is good for the them. I live in an Condo where they can have access to the balcony to get fresh air and sun but it is fence so no animals can go over. I also have a cat and he's super very friendly and loves to cuddle. I always take time to play with animals. its very important to give them as much attention as possible. I also play dog or cat shows. Believe it or not some animals love it. I currently work at home so it works perfectly when watching any animals. Also easy for when the owners would want an update on their love ones. I love to play with animals. They are part of us and its important to show affection and love to them. It's important to know your animals and treat them with respect as well as follow how the owners care for them and imply that as well. Making them feel comfortable is important.

“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! ❤️”

“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”

We were also completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. They kept us regularly updated with photos and videos of Snowy, which gave us great peace of mind throughout her stay. We truly appreciate how well they cared for her and would be happy to have Snowy stay with them again. 🐾❤️”

About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.

We got a daily update and photo while we were out of the country to show our perpetually sleeping potato was happy and healthy!! It really eased our minds and hearts while we were away! Pekoe is a timid little creature that does not care for most people, usually keeping her distance and sleeping in her box, but was quickly accepting of Veronica, sleeping with her on the couch and overnight! It was quite amazing to see, and brought us great ease!”

About: I have owned 2 dogs in my lifetime. My first dog Buster was a Terrypoo that we got after we got married and my son was a toddler. He was 14 when we had to make a tough decision. Then we got Sasha a Morkie she was just shy of 16 when we had to make another tough decision. I have also been fostering with Freedom Rescue since March of 2025. As I think about my stage of life, I want to travel in a few years, so I don't want to commit to owning another animal. That being said I still have lots of love and cuddles to spoil your pet with. I also have experience with a cat, my daughter got took in a kitten from outside at the beginning of Covid that lived with us up until May of this year when she moved out on her own. I am currently working 4 days a week at the office; my husband is retired and home all day. Just down the road there is a large park with soccer fields and lots of places to walk in the neighbourhood. We live in an end unit townhouse on a Private, so not a lot of traffic, 3 levels, with a fenced in back yard. I am ok with pets on my furniture if you are. If not, I will follow your rules.
