Dog Sitting Oshawa

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. Through the years I have fostered, rescued and dog sat many furry friends. I have taken many training courses and worked with a number of local experts. I have cared for many seniors with aging issues and my current furry kid is a special needs dog (mostly blind, missing one eye). I have recently become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist and practice regularly. I work full time, but I work from home. This allows me to take regularly scheduled breaks for heading outside for a quick walk, play or interaction. My daughter and I live in the house (a 13 year old whiz with doggos!) and she spends most evenings interacting with our fur girl and loves entertaining the neighborhood dogs. I'm home on the weekends usually and have time to dedicate to your furry friend. (and give massages too!) My girl loves to play and discover new dogs (as long as your dog does not have an aggressive nature). We have a fully fenced in back yard (6ft fence). That's great for those that could be jumpers! Lots of access to local parks and I LOVE walking - I walk all the time and would love to bring a doggo along with me for lots of exercise. Your dog would have full range of my house and we invite doggos up on the furniture for cuddle time (or respect your wishes for keeping them in your routine of staying off furniture) - lots of comfy dog beds in most rooms!

“Jenna is coming to our place since February twoce a week.. I just absolutely love the fact that she sending us deetailed updates with photos after every visit.

I highly recommend Jenna ..”

“Emma took care of our two short hair tabby cats as drop-in visits for 8 days. She was very patient with them and they became friendly with her fairly quickly. I would rebook her again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a child. I've had 2 Huskies (at the same time) so I know what it's like to control strong dogs who love to run. Currently i only accept small dogs under 20lbs. My current dog is small who loves nothing better than to have a pal to play with. All of the dogs I have had have lived out their lives well into their senior years. Some with health challenges. I will be kind and loving to your dog while in my care treating them as I would my own. I'm currently retired and looking to fill my days with work that will keep me active and fulfilled. What better way than to do something I love! My home has a fenced backyard with direct access from the house. For overnight care I have no issues if your pup wants to cuddle up on the bed at night. I live in a great neighborhood for walking with access to parks and forested areas.

“Julia was amazing with my two babies, autumn and winter. Autumn, who’s usually very shy around strangers, came out of her shell with Julia and was fairly comfortable with her. This was a big win for us. I was nervous leaving my house and kids with a stranger but Julia was not only professional but also kept an eye out for anything amiss with the house. Autumn and Winter were happy and active with her. I would totally recommend Julia to anyone looking for personalised care for their fur babies.”

About: Growing up with cats, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals from a young age. Over the years, I've provided care for a variety of pets, especially cats and dogs, giving me a wealth of experience in handling different breeds and temperaments. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I’ve frequently pet-sat for family and friends, ensuring their dogs received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while they were away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply cuddling up, I’m dedicated to making pets feel safe and loved in my care. Available for pet care during evenings and weekends! I work 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays but am flexible for morning or midday check-ins. When pet sitting in a client's home, my approach is centered on providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Here’s how I manage it: 1) Familiarization with the Home: Before starting, I visit the client's home to understand the layout, locate essential supplies (like food, medications, and toys), and learn about any specific care routines or preferences. 2) Routine Maintenance: I stick to the pets' established routines, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any specific care instructions. Consistency helps keep pets comfortable and reduces their stress. 3) Regular Updates: I provide frequent updates to the owner, including photos and notes about the pet’s well-being, to keep them informed and reassured.

About: Veterinary assistant who has worked in boarding facilities pet sitting and vet clinics for the past 20 + years and loves all pets big and small I have a fully fenced in back yard and crates available for nap time if needed and no other dogs live here at the moment I like to spend as much time as possible with pets who are in my care either with regular walks or one on one time. During the week while I am at work, they are walked before I leave and get let outside for mid day breaks in the backyard .I treat all pets as if they are my own family I have a fully fenced backyard and never leave your dog unattended. If they are crate trained then I do have a few that can be used for when I go out. When I am in your home they get lots of cuddle time and daily walks and always follow whatever routine they are used to in regards to feeding etc

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

About: As a passionate critical care nurse, my heart is always with animals, especially dogs. While I dream of having my own furry companion, my unpredictable shift work makes it challenging to provide a stable home for a dog right now. That’s why I would love the opportunity to care for and give love to other dogs in need of attention and companionship. I truly enjoy getting outside for exercise and playtime, especially engaging with their favorite toys and ensuring they have fun. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate dogs of all types and sizes, providing attentive, caring, and personalized care that every dog deserves. If you’re looking for someone who understands the importance of love, exercise, and consistent care for your dog, I’m here to help! I work 2 day shifts (7am-7pm) and 2 night shifts (7pm-7am) and off for 5. Available during the day most weeks and able to accommodate in between night shifts as well :) I have a fully fenced in backyard and a park behind my home. I love getting out for walks and sniffs! They will also get lots of attention and love.

“Alex has been sitting for my dogs for quite a few weeks now, and I must say, she’s been super great. Comes on time, always gives feedback about the dogs, and they love her. Will continue using her for the future for sure. Super reliable and responsible. Makes sure the door is locked and the house is secure when she leaves as well.”
