Personalized care for your dog or cat - Shawville

“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”

“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”

“Cindy was great—flexible, caring, and quick to reply to any message. Carter was clearly comfortable and happy in her home, and we’d be happy to leave Carter in this beautiful place again any time. Thank you!”

About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.

“We tried Sarah overnight before our big trip in feb. We have 2 dogs. Not only she took great care of them but she kept us updated with pictures of them cuddling with her dogs and both slept through the night and ate their food which they NEVER do normally. She’s amazing and super friendly and completely removed all the anxiety I felt about leaving my rescues for 7 days She also fosters dogs for a rescue which just shows you the type of person she is and her love for dogs Thanks Sarah see you in a few weeks”

“We were a bit nervous leaving our 10.5yr old Lab, 1. because she is getting older, stubborn, and occasionally "whiny", and 2. since she hasn't even been in a kennel since before COVID. We met Allison and her daughter when we brought Darva for a first check suggested by Allison, that made sense to see if our dogs had innate antipathies,and could be civil with each other. All went well. A few days later we brought our dog over and left her while we had a day out of town. Allison sent us a picture of our dog to show that she was fine - and our dog was actually looking at the camera, which was unusual since she normally refuses when anyone points a "soul-sucker" in her direction, and turns her head away We found the care and the place good for our dog and know that Allison did all she could to alleviate any of our concerns..”

“Ashley treated Rooster like family the minute she met him. Her communication, understanding, flexibility and professional is top tier! She saved us when we were in a pinch and made Rooster feel right at home! Thank you!”

About: I had pet Hotel since 15 years ago and I have more than 15 years experience for caring pets, especially dogs for boarding daycare& training I am available full-time for day care & boarding dogs and of Behavior modification and training dogs and playing with them in full day of the week I have big fenced yard and two dogs (one toy poodle , one standard poodle) and have crate for your dogs if needs and inside space for boarding

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, starting with my first Siberian Husky, who taught me everything about patience, consistency, and unconditional love. For the past 8 years, I’ve been training and competing in dog agility, and I currently share my life with three Border Collies who are active competitors, plus my beloved retired Husky. I understand dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels — from high-drive working dogs to seniors needing a slower pace. My experience in agility means I’m skilled at reading canine body language, providing mental stimulation, and keeping dogs both safe and happy. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekdays, as I’m available during daytime hours while most people are at work. I structure my day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest, making sure their routine is consistent and comfortable. Weekends are flexible as well, so I can accommodate extra visits or longer stays when needed. When caring for pets in my home or at your home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. During walks, all dogs are kept on leash and under close supervision. I ensure that no food or harmful items are accessible, and I maintain controlled environments so pets can explore, play, and relax safely. Each pet’s individual needs are respected, whether it’s exercise, attention, or quiet time, so they feel secure and happy.

“Emma was fantastic. She communicated everyday and took great pictures.”

About: About Ricardo I have over 8 years of experience as a dog sitter, walker and Behaviorist in Mexico. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had a natural ability to understand and connect with them. Over 10 years ago, when my dog Horchata joined my life, she was energetic and needed guidance. I took a diploma in Spain to learn how to help her become balanced and confident. Later, friends began asking me to care for their dogs while they travelled, and they were impressed to see how their pets improved after staying with me for a few weeks. That experience motivated me to dedicate my life to dog care, something I enjoy. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. This role gives me hands-on experience with routines, enrichment, feeding, safety, and observing behavior changes. I have availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care and/or for a great walk. Although I live in an apartment, I know the value of frequent walks and I take them seriously. I stay attentive to each dog’s needs and adapt to their routine and personality. I’m available every day and almost all the time since I work from home, which makes this the perfect activity for me. I recently left a two-year job to dedicate myself fully to pet care again. Although I live in an apartment, I know how important frequent walks are, and I take them seriously. I always stay attentive to each dog’s needs and can easily adapt to every pup’s routine and personality.

About: I love animals and enjoy every moment with them. My dream is to be able to have a rescue as all four of my animals are from rescues. I have decreased my hours at work to be back home more due to the rising cost of gas. I have more time to take on these duties. Every situation is different. You respect the same trust and safety for every pet weather is yours or someone else's. For dogs always leashed as you never know the situation of a pet.

About: We are full hearted dog lovers. We have three dogs of our own who are all well socialized and love meeting new friends both big and small. We have Hercules the 13 year old Chihuahua, Finnegan the 7 year old Jack Russell/ beagle mix, and DeeDee the year and half Rhodesian Ridgeback. We usually have an extra friend as we foster dogs through a rescue group, Rat terrier rescue of Canada. We love walking into a full house :) we have a big yard that is fully fenced, As well as trails and acreage to walk through. We offer a very relaxed, laid back setting for your pup. There will be times of play but all my dogs are respectful of space and will never push a friend to play with them. They have free range of the house and we share all the furniture, bed included 😉😊. When you go on vacation, we do our best to make your fur baby feel like they are on vacation as well. We also send you picture updates to reassure you that your family member is safe and having a great time meeting new friends :) Between my work schedule ( part time) and my husbands work schedule( full time) , someone is always home with your family member to ensure a happy, cozy, experience for them. We do our best to make them feel like they are at home and try to help ease the transition of leaving you with affection, treats, play and walks. Fenced in yard to keep them safe outside.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly loves spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs, including a gentle Standard Poodle and a high-energy Australian Shepherd. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, loved, and at home while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! . I work from home most days, so dogs I am looking after get steady attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, along with regular breaks I live in a quiet home near a great walking trail. Dogs in my care get a calm environment, plenty of attention, and a routine that helps them feel safe and comfortable.
