House Sitting in Owen Sound

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve opened my home and heart to foster pets—helping cats find their forever families and even fostering a dog through R&R Rescue. I’ve also volunteered with Team Dog Rescue, supporting their important work. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or a calm presence, I genuinely enjoy the company of animals of all kinds and treat every pet as if they were my own. “Semi-retired, flexible, and reliable—I’m here when your pets need me most.” I’m semi-retired and self-employed, giving me the flexibility to be available when needed. I can show up reliably, providing dependable help with your pets. I’m happy to spend quality time with your cats or dogs, and I can also housesit if needed. Dogs: I’ll let them out into a fenced yard and keep them company, or take them on short walks if that’s preferred. Cats: I can feed, brush, clean the litter, and, of course, give your furry friend the attention they deserve.

About: I’ve co-owned several dogs throughout my life and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attuned, and looking for company on walks so I can listen to more audiobooks 🙃 I generally work 6 hour shifts from Monday to Friday. I make my own hours, so if you pup needs a midday walk, I’d love to take them! My home is adults only (just my partner and I) and we don’t currently have pets of our own. If your dog isn’t great with others or has a high prey drive, no worries here! We have a big yard (unfenced) and live very close to a beachfront park. Our home is clean, quiet, calm and pet-proofed.

“Jenn was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her! This was the first time we've ever left our 14 year old pup with anyone other than family. She sent us pictures and kept us updated all weekend. Thank you Jenn for making this such a positive experience ❤️ 🐾”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I’m dedicated to ensuring your furry friend receives the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. From energetic puppies and playful large breeds to senior dogs who prefer leisurely strolls, I’ve worked with them all. I believe every dog deserves loving care, and I’m committed to building trust with both pets and their owners. Let me make your dog’s day with fun-filled walks and personalized attention! I am currently working part-time. I would love my free time to be spent with my favourite animal, being outside, getting exercise, doing what I love. If needed I am easily able to crate your dog, will make sure all hazards are removed, and if special food is needed I am able to feed.

About: Canine CPR & Emergency First Aid certified. Experience with special needs animals, including dietary needs, medication and shots. Rest assured your fur baby is in good hands. Ask me about my group dog walk rate! I work from home full time and have Staffordshire Bull Terrier roommate who requires a full hour of outdoor time every day, I can pick up your pup and bring them with us on our outdoor adventure. My partner is super excited to host pups in our home for extra hands on play time and walks. I have a very playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if you prefer. There are no children in the house. Please note we live in a 2nd floor walk up apartment. If your pup is over 45lbs and has mobility issues, consider booking me for pet care in your home instead :)

“Sophia looked after our golden retriever and our house for 24 days while we were out of country. She did an excellent job at taking care of our dog and our house was returned to us in excellent condition. Sophia was great at communicating with us while we were away. We would recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”

About: I have had years of experience caring for others pets. Mainly dogs, but can certainly look after cats as well. Me and my family have owned our own digs for years and I am currently enjoying spending quality pet time with my partners cat who at times, acts more like a dog. I currently work 5 days and work from home one day a week. I work locally and am able to pop in and our during lunch breaks. I am a big outdoors person who walks a ton so I am able to take your pet out daily (multiple times if needed.) I can cater to whatever your pet is used to in your home. I do not offer in home pet care at this time. I am caring, attentive and absolutely love animals, I can't wait to meet your furry friend

About: I absolutely love animals and would be honoured to care for, exercise or check on your fur baby! It doesn’t matter how old or young your animal is. I will love them like my own! I am currently taking a break from my sales career. I have two children and two dogs. I enjoy hiking or walking with my dogs. The safety of your animal is very important to me. I will take every precautions to ensure your animal is safe and secure in my care.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs, and cats for the past 10 years. My current dog is high energy and we'll titled. I'm happy to work with puppies, and provide a little anxiety relief to your pets. Looking for someone to take your dog out while your on a long shift, longer walks than your able, or social/training enriched walks, I'm able to help. I grew up on a hobby farm and am more then happy to spend time with ducks, chickens, rabbits etc. I currently work full time from home, if you have wifi I can be there all day. I have a dog as well, he can come for social play dates, or stay home. For longer stay, my furbaby can come along for doggy socialization or I can alternate on a plan that works for both of us. Dogs love routine, keeping to their routine is safest. I practice positive reinforcement for pets. For dogs who pull on walks ii prefer a harness, it's safer for us and them, and have plenty of dual clip leashes to work on heeling with them.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Generally, I feel more complete and a happier person when accompanied by a furry friend! I love spending time outdoors, hiking through forests and exploring the landscape in various ways - all complimented when a companion comes alongside. With plenty of experience with dogs, I am well equipped to take care of your dogs’ walking needs. I have a calm and gentle presence, which allows me to observe and respond to the dog intuitively. I'd be pleased to discuss how I can support you and your dog. I currently have a flexible schedule. I would love to fit your dog walking needs into my schedule. Please reach out to discuss in more detail what you need, and how I can support you and your pets. I am a very calm, patient and trusting individual. I am able to be intuitive regarding the dogs' needs, and adapt to situations when necessary. I am generally a gentle and caring person, and can be assertive when needed.

“Carissa was great! Very communicative, responsive and wonderful with our dogs. Our dogs loved her!”

“Jacobe responded very quickly to my last minute request when another sitter had to cancel last minute. He made a trip to meet myself and Millie before the booking was confirmed so we could make sure Millie and I were comfortable with him. He took very good care of both Millie and my friend's dog Buddy, sent lots of photos so we could see how it was going and left everything in great shape, including a couple of tired, happy dogs. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
