Dog Sitting Oshawa

About: I've been caring for cats for 12 years and currently have two cats, aged 12 and 2. Caring for them has given me experience with cats at different life stages, including my senior cat, and personalities. My family members have relied on me to care fot their cats over the years, being it keeping them company, feeding them, entretaining them, cleaning litter boxes and the environment. Although I don't have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I understand how important it is to be patient, reliable, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual routine and personality. While most of my experience is with cats, I also love dogs, have walked a few and am available for walks with small dogs. I have also volunteered at an adoption fair twice, helping tend to the needs of cats and dogs from small to big, from kittens and puppys to adults. I am attentive and always follow each owner's instructions regarding their pet's routine and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for regular visits and will always make sure to follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, medication if applicable, playtime, and any other routines. I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and receives plenty of attention during my visits. I also understand that patience is especially important when caring for shy or nervous animals.

About: What sets me apart is my patient, gentle, and detail oriented approach. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and slower-paced poopets, and I’m confident managing different temperaments and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home. I’m around throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding times, and play sessions, so your pet gets plenty of attention and never feels alone. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at home. I provide a cozy resting area, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain your pet’s feeding and care routines and make sure they get plenty of attention. I also monitor behavior closely and communicate updates regularly.

About: I have 4 cats at home, and 1 even loves going outside for leashed walks or car rides and camping trips. I also work for a pet store, so I interact with dogs of all ages and breeds every day, including potential high stress situations. I work full time at a pet store, but on my days off I’d love to walk with your furry family member to get out some energy and give them some exercise. I work at a pet store, and do rigorous monthly safety training to make sure all of our furry friends and our humans stay safe.

About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️

About: I have taken care of my own animals since I was young. I’ve had both small and big dogs, as well as, many cats. I’ve attended many training classes with my animals and I’m aware of all of the basic training principles. I love to play with animals and provide a safe, loving experience for them. I look forward to hearing from you! I work Monday to Friday 8-4, mostly from home. I can come care for the animals in the evening, weekends, and throughout the day as I work from home! I don’t have a fenced in backyard but do live near a trail system and would absolutely be taking them on walks. I also would ensure all safety hazards in the house were taken care of before arrival, if any are present.

About: I have a love for animals and have enjoyed owning and sitting for many through the years. Large or small, energetic or passive, noisy or quiet; I will love and care for each one specially. Because I love animals, I love to take care of other people's pets too. I know how important it is to have a trusted, dependable person caring for your pets so you can enjoy the things you have to do while you're away. Having a high energy dog myself, I know how important play time and exercise time is. When rest time is required a comfortable area or bed is also a must if that's what your pet loves. I offer love and security both in my home and in yours. I am a very honest, dependable, and loving person.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as other animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have experience walking, grooming (basic), and caring for various dog breeds and ages and love to go the extra mile! Since childhood, I have taken a keen interest in volunteering with animals and have worked with many wonderful organizations such as Nova's Ark and Action Volunteers for Animals. I have cared for many pets growing up, most recently my 16 year old beagle, Clyde, who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago. I am very familiar with the special needs and care that senior dogs and cats require. I have also taken care of friends and family's pets for extended time periods as well. I am currently working as a Pet Health Consultant at Tail Blazers, a health food store for pets, for almost 2 years now which has allowed me to greatly expand my knowledge of pet care. I bring my love and passion for animals into everything I do in life. I believe our pets are family and so deserve all the love, dignity, and respect! Your furry friend/family would be in the best of hands in my care! Dog Walking & Drop-In Availability: Sunday & Saturday - between 9:30am and 7:00pm.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the person friends, family, and neighbors would ask to look after their pets because they knew how much I genuinely enjoyed spending time with animals. While I’m new to Rover, caring for pets isn’t new to me. I’ve looked after dogs for family members and friends, whether that meant taking them for walks, spending time with them while their owners were away, or making sure they felt loved and cared for throughout the day. Outside of Rover, I’m a wedding photographer with flexible weekday availability. Since I’m already someone who loves being outdoors, staying active, and getting fresh air, dog walking felt like the perfect fit. I truly enjoy being around animals, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pup a fun walk, plenty of attention, and lots of care while you’re away! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m a photographer so I do have pretty flexible hours. I work mostly on weekends but I have a lot of extra time during week ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. During walks, I’ll keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of water and breaks when needed. For drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh water, food (if requested), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and kindness I would my own.

“Russell cared for two of my dogs over a long weekend and did a fantastic job! Both dogs looked incredibly happy in all the pictures and videos sent. Updates were provided promptly for every visit, which helped me feel at ease about not being able to take them with me. I'd definitely recommend Russell to others. Thanks again! :)”

“When you meet Denell, you can see she’s an animal lover and pets love her too. She took very good care of our two cats for the week we needed her. She was attentive to them, communicated with me through the week, and also shared photos. I highly recommend her and we will be calling on Denell again.”
