Cindy was great and her property is amazing. This was our first experience with Rover and I am so incredibly happy we found Cindy instead of going to a barky, overcrowded kennel. I 100% recommend!

Wonderful experience for both myself and my dog. Katie’s first time being boarded and I was anxious about it, but Trudy was so great to us both. She made me feel safe and relaxed about the whole experience. Katie really seemed to really enjoy herself and her new pals. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

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

About: My name is Samantha and I've been a lifelong lover of all creatures great and small! I am currently a mom to a 8 year old miniature schnauzer, but I've had a kitty or dog companion by my side my entire life. I'm new to Mississippi Mills and I would love to meet your pet. Friends in Ottawa have relied on me to check in on their fur babies, take them for walks, feed them dinner, or simply spend time with them! I'm very reliable, I work from home 4 out of 5 week days, have a car, am flexible and adaptive. I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week and am typically available on evenings and weekends. If your pup likes other pups I can have them join in on my routine walks with my little schnauzer. If not, that's cool too! I'm always down for a solo walk. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your furry baby will be well taken care of! I can be trusted to do drop in visits, spend time petting, playing with, feeding or walking your baby.

Excellent services from Veronica! Very kind and caring person, took amazing care of Pekoe, our one-eyed four-toothed rescue dog! We got a daily update and photo while we were out of the country to show our perpetually sleeping potato was happy and healthy!! It really eased our minds and hearts while we were away! Pekoe is a timid little creature that does not care for most people, usually keeping her distance and sleeping in her box, but was quickly accepting of Veronica, sleeping with her on the couch and overnight! It was quite amazing to see, and brought us great ease!

About: Shortly after moving to Renfrew, I rescued my dog Sage in July 2024. She is from Baffin Island, Nunavut—and I was initially told that she was a husky but she never grew! Given her size and demeanour, we believe her to be a Shiba Inu mix—we just aren’t sure how she ended up in the Arctic! About me: I have always loved animals, and I took this passion into account when choosing my first home. The house has a very large fenced-in yard that Sage loves to roam freely in. I enjoy spending much of my time in the backyard, whether in the garden or playing with Sage. Since I have all this space, and the time, I figured it would be a fun and rewarding opportunity to welcome other pets into my space on occasion, overnight on weekends or during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I am also quite active, and would be happy to have another pup joining Sage and I on our walks! My partner and I both work full-time, though I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I am also often available on weekends, allowing me to provide dogs with consistent attention and care. I am very adventurous with my own dog, taking her on camping trips, hikes, canoes and SUPs—she does it all and loves it! I am very active and take Sage on at least two walks per day on weekdays, also playing in the yard for about an hour each day. On weekends, I tend to go on longer walks or hikes in the area, and sometimes go to the cottage for an evening or two, where my dog will join me on snowshoe trips in the winter or boat rides in the summer. All in all, Sage is very spoiled and has my attention all the time—I love her so much and I would be happy to have her make friends with the other dogs in the area, which would be treated with a paralleled affection! As mentioned, I have a very large fenced yard which will allow your dog to play with my dog for as long as they want! My dog has free range of the house, and sleeps in bed with my partner and I (spoiled!!!). I would be happy to respect any rules that you have for your own pet when it comes to food, crating, training, etc. Our dog does her business outside in the yard, and it is preferred that your dog does the same (no pee pads). Your dog can be dropped off whenever works best for you, or I can pick them up if nearby enough. I can provide all-day daycare with two walks and free range of the backyard (with close supervision) on Tuesdays and Fridays (morning drop-off with evening pickup), or I can watch your dog all weekend (Friday morning to Sunday evening). During all of these times I will be home, but may need to leave the house for a maximum of two hours to go get groceries, etc. My dog is very playful, so ideally your dog is also playful and medium-high energy. I can of course watch lower-energy dogs, but would want to make sure they get along with my rambunctious pup first!

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.

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 have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in an apartment with balcony, available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.

About: I have taken care of my cat for 10 years. His name is Miles and he the most lovable cat you you will ever meet. I love animals and animals should always be treated with love, care and respect. I have taken care of different type of dogs throughout my life, small to really big dogs. Animals are just like us in a way, all they need is love and attention. Cats and dogs are our babies and its it's importmant to always have a structure in they're everyday life. . When i have other Dogs or Cats I make sure to set timers so they are able to go for walks, use the bathroom, have nap time, play time and always making sure that they are eating food in a timely manner and also food that is good for the them. I live in an Condo where they can have access to the balcony to get fresh air and sun but it is fence so no animals can go over. I also have a cat and he's super very friendly and loves to cuddle. I always take time to play with animals. its very important to give them as much attention as possible. I also play dog or cat shows. Believe it or not some animals love it. I currently work at home so it works perfectly when watching any animals. Also easy for when the owners would want an update on their love ones. I love to play with animals. They are part of us and its important to show affection and love to them. It's important to know your animals and treat them with respect as well as follow how the owners care for them and imply that as well. Making them feel comfortable is important.

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.

Cindy was great and her property is amazing. This was our first experience with Rover and I am so incredibly happy we found Cindy instead of going to a barky, overcrowded kennel. I 100% recommend!

Wonderful experience for both myself and my dog. Katie’s first time being boarded and I was anxious about it, but Trudy was so great to us both. She made me feel safe and relaxed about the whole experience. Katie really seemed to really enjoy herself and her new pals. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

Frederick clearly loves and understands dogs, plus he’s easygoing and flexible and just seems like an all around good guy. I felt immediately at ease leaving my dog Wilder with him for 10 days and would recommend him without hesitation.

Excellent services from Veronica! Very kind and caring person, took amazing care of Pekoe, our one-eyed four-toothed rescue dog! We got a daily update and photo while we were out of the country to show our perpetually sleeping potato was happy and healthy!! It really eased our minds and hearts while we were away! Pekoe is a timid little creature that does not care for most people, usually keeping her distance and sleeping in her box, but was quickly accepting of Veronica, sleeping with her on the couch and overnight! It was quite amazing to see, and brought us great ease!

About: Shortly after moving to Renfrew, I rescued my dog Sage in July 2024. She is from Baffin Island, Nunavut—and I was initially told that she was a husky but she never grew! Given her size and demeanour, we believe her to be a Shiba Inu mix—we just aren’t sure how she ended up in the Arctic! About me: I have always loved animals, and I took this passion into account when choosing my first home. The house has a very large fenced-in yard that Sage loves to roam freely in. I enjoy spending much of my time in the backyard, whether in the garden or playing with Sage. Since I have all this space, and the time, I figured it would be a fun and rewarding opportunity to welcome other pets into my space on occasion, overnight on weekends or during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I am also quite active, and would be happy to have another pup joining Sage and I on our walks! My partner and I both work full-time, though I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I am also often available on weekends, allowing me to provide dogs with consistent attention and care. I am very adventurous with my own dog, taking her on camping trips, hikes, canoes and SUPs—she does it all and loves it! I am very active and take Sage on at least two walks per day on weekdays, also playing in the yard for about an hour each day. On weekends, I tend to go on longer walks or hikes in the area, and sometimes go to the cottage for an evening or two, where my dog will join me on snowshoe trips in the winter or boat rides in the summer. All in all, Sage is very spoiled and has my attention all the time—I love her so much and I would be happy to have her make friends with the other dogs in the area, which would be treated with a paralleled affection! As mentioned, I have a very large fenced yard which will allow your dog to play with my dog for as long as they want! My dog has free range of the house, and sleeps in bed with my partner and I (spoiled!!!). I would be happy to respect any rules that you have for your own pet when it comes to food, crating, training, etc. Our dog does her business outside in the yard, and it is preferred that your dog does the same (no pee pads). Your dog can be dropped off whenever works best for you, or I can pick them up if nearby enough. I can provide all-day daycare with two walks and free range of the backyard (with close supervision) on Tuesdays and Fridays (morning drop-off with evening pickup), or I can watch your dog all weekend (Friday morning to Sunday evening). During all of these times I will be home, but may need to leave the house for a maximum of two hours to go get groceries, etc. My dog is very playful, so ideally your dog is also playful and medium-high energy. I can of course watch lower-energy dogs, but would want to make sure they get along with my rambunctious pup first!

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.
