About: Looking for something more exciting than traditional dog daycare? It is all about giving dogs an active, enriching day while making life easier for their humans. 🐕 What I offer 🚐 Pickup & Drop-Off with the additonal cost. I pick up your dog from home and bring them back after their adventure, so you don't have to worry about driving to and from daycare. 🌲 Adventure Daycare Your dog gets out of the house for an exciting day of exploring, walking, sniffing and experiencing the outdoors. 🥾 Exercise & Exploration Activities are tailored to your dog's age, energy level and personality, with plenty of opportunities to walk, explore and burn off energy. 🧠 Enrichment & Play It's not just about physical exercise. Sniffing, exploring and appropriate play provide important mental stimulation too. 🐶 Small, Personalized Groups I focus on quality over quantity, with careful attention to each dog's temperament and comfort. 📸 Photos & Updates You'll get updates and photos so you can see what your pup is up to during their adventure. ❤️ Safe, Loving Care Your dog's safety and happiness come first. I take the time to understand their routine, personality and individual needs. 🌲 The idea is simple: I pick up your dog → they have an amazing adventure → they come home happy and tired. 🐶❤️ If your dog loves exploring, sniffing, walking and being outdoors, it could be the perfect adventure daycare for them! Adventure for them. Convenience for you. 🐾 If interested lets do a meet-greet and discuss all the different options I provide . Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, attention, and enrichment. I monitor and give attention to your pet. I can crate upon request by the pet parent and if the dog is comfortable with it. I have an 8-year-old Golden to keep company with your pet.

“Juho and Olena were excellent! Very communicative and Hatchi enjoyed himself so much!”

About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the house. I believe they truly make a house a home. I personally connect most with dogs and enjoy going for walks or runs with them. I also love cats and have 3 of my own with my partner. We also have 2 fish tanks so I can handle those as well! I have experience house sitting for both friends and family, as well as short notice when strangers need. I know that pet care is a full time job. I have a lot of spare time right now so I am looking to fill that over the winter with spending time outside with dogs and house sitting when needed as well. Comfort is my top priority. Keeping the animals in routine is very important to keep stress levels to a minimum. whether that means keeping to an area they know well or maintaining a feeding schedule or anything else i am happy to keep those routines up.

“Michaela has been walking Jack for quite a while now. He absolutely adores her and I appreciate her flexibility with last minute bookings 😊 I’ll definitely continue booking with her!”

“Took amazing care of Ginger! Could tell she was relaxed with Julia and I really appreciated the photo updates along the way! Would welcome her back any time I need a hand and would highly recommend.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sara! ❤️ She took such amazing care of our dog, Michka, and treated him with so much love, patience, and attention. She kept me updated, sent me photos and videos, and I could see how happy and comfortable Michka was with her. Sara is incredibly kind, responsible, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Michka was happy, safe, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would recommend Sara without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pet. We will definitely contact her again whenever we need help with Michka. Thank you so much, Sara! 🐾❤️”

About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was young, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, including Chiweenies, Schnauzers, Shelties, Labs, and mixes. From younger pups to more senior dogs, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and understanding their individual needs. I’m a patient, gentle, and attentive person who goes the extra mile to make sure every dog is happy and well cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or enjoying some quiet time and cuddles, I love finding ways to make their time with me enjoyable. I understand that your dog is family, and I know how important it is to feel confident leaving them in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with kindness, follow their usual routine, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’d be so happy to meet you and your furry best friend ❤️🐾 My partner and I have a pretty relaxed lifestyle and are homebodies at heart, so we love spending our evenings at home. I work in the office four days a week from 8–4, while my partner works in the office three days a week and comes home during his lunch hour since his office is just nearby. I’d make pet care part of my everyday routine, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and winding down together in the evenings. On weekends, we enjoy getting outside for walks, bike rides, and hikes, and would love to have a furry companion join us on those little adventures! We also enjoy having quiet days at home, so there’s a nice balance between getting outdoors and relaxing together. We’d make sure any pet in our care feels comfortable, gets plenty of attention, and is treated like part of the family. Whether caring for a pet in our home or in their own, I’d want them to feel safe, comfortable, and well loved. If they were staying with us, we live in a pet-friendly apartment that welcomes dogs, with plenty of lovely outdoor spaces nearby for walks and fresh air. There are parks close by, as well as the scenic Kichi Zibi Mikan pathway and the Canal, which would be great for getting outside and exploring together when appropriate. I’d make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and downtime. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’d take the time to help them settle in and feel at home. If caring for them in their own home, I’d be mindful of keeping their routine and surroundings familiar. I’d also love to keep owners updated with photos and little messages so they can feel reassured that their furry friend is in good hands!

“Anna has been great and really helped us out while I'm healing from a knee injury. She can be counted on rain or shine and we felt confident that Fergus was in great hands.”

“Amanda was an awesome walker when we needed a last minute one for our Mini Schnauzer, Frances. She was flexible, asked a bunch of questions, was very attentive to Frances upon their first meeting, and very clearly loves animals. She sent me multiple photos during their walk together and made us feel super at ease. This was our first time using Rover and Amanda definitely set the bar super high. Thanks Amanda!”

“A great fit for our dog.”

About: My family has had 3 to 6 dogs my whole life so I’ve had lots of experience caring for all kinds of animals. My family pets are now too far away and I’m missing the fur cuddles - let me spoil yours for an afternoon. I currently work from home and love an excuse to get out of the house or for a walk during the work day! My schedule is super flexible so I’m able to provide lots of care throughout the day. I currently live in a small apartment but love a walk and am always looking for reasons to get out the house. Couch cuddles are always welcome.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle, thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. For dogs, I offer taking your furry friend on long walks, making them feel at ease with my calm presence and of course cuddles and treats! For cats I offer doing home visits, during these I will feed, clean the litter box, clean up if there are any accidents as well as deep-cleaning litter boxes and help maintain a tidy environment, which is especially helpful for multi-cat households or those with limited mobility. I will of course give your kitties cuddles and play time! I can host cats as well as small dogs in my condo as long as they are okay with my playful 3-year-old cat named Mango and are potty trained. I am also comfortable giving puffers to cats as my cat has asthma and I give him a puffer daily. I am comfortable with all kinds of temperaments as I’ve done numerous home visits, I am always patient and gentle with the cats and dogs and whether they love company or prefers their space, I take the time to understand what they need to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you for your consideration 😊 I have a full time job but I work from home twice a week so I am able to care for pet’s after work or during my lunch break when I am home! I have a condo that is perfect for small animals. I already have a cat named Mango who is a very social boy and so I would be able to board cats that are socialized with other cats as well as small dogs.

About: Does your dog have enough energy to power a small city? Or maybe they believe a 20-minute walk should include 47 stops to investigate every tree, mailbox, and suspicious-looking leaf? Either way, I’m here to help! I’m a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic dog walker who loves getting outside and spending time with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pup is different, so I’ll make sure their walks are suited to their energy level, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog loves a long adventure, a brisk neighborhood stroll, or a leisurely sniff-filled expedition, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat every walk with care and responsibility, while making sure your pup has a fun time along the way. And yes, I fully support stopping for important business—like sniffing the same tree for five minutes. 🐶 Reliable walks, happy dogs, tired pups, and hopefully a little less chaos at home! I’m a responsible and dependable part-time worker looking to spend my afternoons doing something I genuinely enjoy—walking dogs! I’m available during the afternoon and would love to help busy dog owners make sure their pups get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxing stroll around the neighbourhood or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own quirks. I’ll treat your furry friend with care and respect, while making sure they have a fun and enjoyable time outside. I’m reliable, responsible, and attentive, and I’ll always follow your instructions regarding your dog’s routine, leash, pace, and any specific needs. I’ll treat your pup with patience and care, giving them plenty of attention while keeping a close eye on them throughout the walk. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to keep you updated and let you know how the walk went. I want you to feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re busy or away.

About: I have taken care of animals and had the tasks of walking or pet sitting in the home for the past couple years. I am comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes and feel my skills that I have from owning pets myself will better allow me to watch your own pets. Throughout my time watching pets I have had a variety of aged pets and choose to adapt to their comfort level, such as playing fetch and walking on more challenging terrain with a younger dog, and finding a flatter and less busy trail/path for a senior dog. I am currently a University student here in Ottawa and the flexibility of dog walking in my schedule would be perfect! The ability to choose my own schedule allows for me to control my own hours while also maximizing the time I’m able to walk your animals. I enjoy walking on paths and non-busy roads which not only adds to the enjoyment of the walk, but your pets safety. Minimizing distractions for your pet while putting your pets safety and mine first. Within the area I have agreed to dog walk in are some great walking paths and parks that allow for off leash time if given the go ahead by the owner of course.
