“Mélanie was wonderful with Matcha and Juny! Matcha felt at home after only one day 😊 She is patient and caring toward our puppies and takes such good care of them!”
“We can’t thank Hannah enough for how she cared for Oscar! We travelled to Ottawa for the weekend and needed care so our dog wasn’t alone in a strange house. She was super flexible with our drop off and pick up times and sent home a tired pupper each day. She also helped with a different leash suggestion for him since he hates his halt. We will be booking Hannah each time we are in Ottawa and our pupper won’t have to be left out of the fun!”
“Erin took great care of Levi! I'm so thankful that she was able to accept my request last minute. Erin spent a lot of time throughout the day making sure that he had plenty of exercise and that all of his needs were met. It looks like he had a very fun day. Erin was great at letting me know how the day was going, and shared tons of photos which was much appreciated!”

About: My Aussie, Ava, is 5 years old and knows ~60+ commands. When looking after dogs that belong to friends/family they are treated the same as my Ava; that goes for training, obedience, walks, you name it! If there's a trick you want your dog to learn, I will do my best to help! I Love all animals although I am a dog person, through and through. My two cats, Polo & Pan, are incredible and loved equally. Can't wait to play fetch with your dog or scratch your cat behind the ears :) I'm off work for the time being, love animals and most of all, love being outside in nature breathing in the sweet fresh air! That being said, I am available all day Monday to Friday and most weekends. We can chat schedule and have a consistent time table My animals are my children. They receive the same love and care any human family member would be entitled to. I love them, treat them with respect, train them with enthusiasm and cuddle them each and every day. Animals are awesome, no!?
“Our pup Nova has seperarion anxiety and it's been difficult for us to leave her anywhere for more than one day. We've tried other pet sitters and kennels and it would always break our hearts to see how stressed she would get. We're so fortunate to have found Debbie and Greg. We had a few trial daycare stays before a longer trip in the Fall and while Nova was initially nervous she was able to settle into their home after the first stay. I can't express enough how relieved we are to have found people that Nova feels comfortable with. We can finally go on vacation without having to stress. Debbie and Greg have a calmness about them that helps Nova deal with her anxiety of being without us. They have a calm home environment and a nice backyard that Nova enjoys during her stays. I would highly recommend especially for pup parents that may have a pup with some separation anxiety. Debbie and Greg are great for Nova and we'll be able to go on vacation knowing she's comfortable and being well cared for.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with boxers and now I have a very energetic golden retriever who is two years old.

I'm able to take walks and do home visits during most workdays in addition to most evenings and weekends. I will make sure I get all the information from you to ensure your dog stays happy and healthy in my care. I want your dog to be comfortable and just have fun!
“This was our first time using a sitter through Rover, and Quintelle was great. She was incredibly thoughtful, keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Jasper absolutely loved his time there and came home happy and relaxed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Quintelle again in the future!”

Marie-Josee L.
“"Marie-Josée a été une merveilleuse garde et intervenante pour mon chien. Dès le début, elle a su instaurer une relation de confiance avec mon compagnon à quatre pattes. Sa capacité à comprendre et à gérer les besoins spécifiques des chiens, en particulier ceux qui ont des comportements sensibles ou des besoins particuliers, est remarquable. Elle a une approche douce et respectueuse, combinée à une connaissance approfondie du comportement canin, ce qui en fait une personne de confiance pour tous types de chiens. En tant que propriétaire de chien, j'ai toujours apprécié la tranquillité d'esprit que j'avais en sachant que mon chien était entre de bonnes mains. Marie-Josée a également montré une grande réactivité et une communication fluide, ce qui m'a permis de suivre l’évolution de mon chien tout au long de son séjour.

Kevin S.
“I've known Kevin S. since he was 15 years old, and I can confidently say he is one of the most caring and reliable people I know, especially when it comes to animals. Kevin grew up in a family that fostered and rescued abused animals, which gave him a deep understanding of their needs. He’s a gentle soul with a natural talent for working with animals of all sizes. Kevin has cared for my pets many times, including my three cats in the past and now my two-year-old Labrador. He’s always patient, attentive, and consistent, maintaining the obedience training I’ve worked on while also sharing invaluable advice from training his own Australian Shepherd. His ability to read animal behavior and respond with understanding is unmatched, even when challenges arise. Kevin is the type of person who steps up in difficult times. He has consistently shown loyalty, generosity, and dedication, whether it’s helping out with pets, supporting friends and family, or simply going above and beyond to ensure everyone is cared for. His kindness, practicality, and willingness to help others make him truly exceptional. Kevin's selflessness and care shine in everything he does. I trust him wholeheartedly with my pets, my home, and my family. Anyone who chooses Kevin as a pet sitter or dog walker will quickly see how special he is.”
