About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Boston Terriers to gentle giants like Great Danes. I've helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs, and supported rescue pups as they transition into their new homes. I’m comfortable managing multi-dog households, having looked after up to five dogs at once, including providing post-operative care and administering medications when needed. Currently, I share my home with two amazing dogs of my own—Hank, a Dogo Argentino, and Harley, a Cane Corso—who bring so much joy and love into my life. I treat every dog I care for like family and always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while their humans are away. I currently work part-time as a Registered Massage Therapist and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pup need me most. I'm fully available Friday through Monday, and with a little notice, I can often accommodate Tuesdays through Thursdays as well. This flexibility means I can provide consistent care and attention, whether it’s for a quick drop-in or extended stays. I’m lucky to have 33 beautiful acres for my pups to explore, so they get plenty of space to roam and enjoy the outdoors. But we never go it alone—I'm always right there with them, whether we're hiking through the woods, wandering the trails, or playing with their favorite toys. When we're inside, you'd never guess how adventurous they are—because they instantly transform into the biggest lap dogs! They love nothing more than curling up for cuddles, getting cozy in bed, and enjoying their favorite treat: relaxing coconut oil massages.

About: I've taken care of everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds for friends and co-workers over the years, making sure to give them plenty of playtime and good care. While I'm no longer boarding, I am available for dog walking or drop-ins. I'm a remote worker with flexible hours which makes it easy to take longer breaks during the day to give local pups a walk or check in to give them some play time. I no longer board dogs but am available to walk them or do drop-ins with plenty of play time in your own yard when requested.

Meaghan was wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs, Rex and Biscuit during her drop in visit, and kept me updated with kind messages and photos throughout. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. She was professional, reliable, and very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!

Becky was amazing with the girls. We went out of town for a day trip and she was able to pop into our place twice to let them out, give them some cuddles, treats and dinner. It was a relief to get updates throughout the day after each visit. Also my princess Penny who doesn't usually eat when something is different in her routine ate while she visited...what a releif. Cinder my social butterfly just loved having someone around for a visit and treats. Would definitely recommend Becky and will call on her again when needed in the future.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets my whole life. I enjoy the physical aspect of having furry friends around as well as the companionship! There is nothing I do not enjoy about caring for and spending time with animals! I have experience with a variety of animals and breeds of various ages and stages of their life. I am extremely capable of administering medications, treatments or any other plan you may have your pup on. In terms of activity, I will gear this towards what I know about your dog and what you prefer they do! Should this be walks, runs or play time outdoors, I am willing to meet your needs. We are an active household would love nothing more than to spend time outdoors with your pup! *Please note, for larger older dogs, that I live in a 3 story townhome. Should your pup be too big to carry and incapable of doing several sets of steps, this may not be the home for you :) As I prepare to study for my legal Licensing exams, I will be home all for the next six months to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! Should there be an occasion where I must go out, my partner may stay home from work to accommodate! Despite my need to study, I love being active and so does my partner! Should your dog require extra walks or exercise, we would love to have them join us ! At minimum, we will include your furry friend on 3 large walks a day. Please continue reading for a description of our daily schedule: Morning: My partner and myself both wake up by about 7am. My partner typically leaves early, while I will be home to study and care for your furry friends. In the morning I will grab coffee and go for a walk of about 30 minutes before 8am, letting your pup out to pee as needed beforehand. Afternoon: In the afternoon, I often aim to go for about 1 hour of a walk minimum. I will go through the forest or alongside our neighborhood which is a quiet and less populated area of Ottawa. In doing so, there is plenty of room and opportunity to roam around should your pup enjoy such activities. Evening: Before dinner, I often like to walk for about 20 minutes prior to giving dinner. After we have all eaten, myself and my partner typically walk for about 45 minutes to one hour. In the evening, we enjoy down time at home, often reading or watching TV. Your furry friend will hang out with us! Before bed, there will be opportunity for one last walk or at least a pee! ** Note that walks and breaks will be given generously throughout the day. There will never be more than a 1-2 hour period without an outdoor break. Myself and my partner are both young professionals. My partner works as an IT consultant in a hybrid model while I work and study from home! We reside in a three story townhome, with ample room for your pup to run free and explore. There is nowhere in our home that is off limits to animals. We do not have a closed in backyard, but rather have our pee breaks in front of the home which faces a large forest and field. When I care for others pets, I typically set alarms for a walk or pee every 45 minutes to 1 hours. This ensures a check in or small pee break will never be forgotten in case of animals not knowing where to alert to go outside. With this in mind, I often take large and longer walks in between pee breaks in order to better break up the day. Please see the Schedule section to see a predicted daily schedule. Despite this, we are active individuals who love to walk and explore, ensuring your pup will have lots of opportunities to pee and explore as they wish 🐶. Please note, we have plenty of room for a crate should your dog require, but we do not posses one at the moment!

Katie was the best thing to happen to me and Mowgli. Having someone who cares so much about your pet takes away so much stress when travelling. She’s attentive and committed and had my somewhat not always social cat purring away with her. Highly recommend!

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved being around animals. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and care. I’m currently finishing my summer semester of school, I’m hoping to get a remote job so I can work from anywhere while taking care of your pets! As of now I have wide open availability! I am available in Battersea, Bath and Kingston! I am super open to helping you and your little critters from those areas and surrounding as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and household rules. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a safe environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I’m committed to being reliable, attentive, and communicative.

About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in my care.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
