Pet Sitting Thurso

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have trained three of my own dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’ve also cared for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who experience anxiety and stress. My own puppy has severe anxiety, so I understand how important it is to give nervous pets extra patience, reassurance, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I love making sure pets get plenty of attention and enrichment, whether that means going for walks, playing, grooming, practicing training, or simply spending time together. I treat every animal as an individual and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I work part-time, usually 5-hour shifts, and I’m completing university online, so I’m home for most of the day. This means pets will only be alone for a limited amount of time and will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home, keeping them in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and any special care they need. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Isabelle est remarquable! Je me suis retrouvée dans une impasse de dernière minute et elle est allée voir mes chiens pour s'assurer que tout était beau avec eux. Je la recommande fortement et apprécie beaucoup son service! C'est certain que je retournerai vers ses services dès que l'occasion se présentera ❤️”

About: Known to be VERY respectful of every fur parents' homes, fur baby training, feeding, walking schedules; loving, enthusiastic, responsible and timely, with strong communication skills. You can always trust me with your fur baby! I have a full time day job and work (on-site) 8am-4pm on weekdays. I also volunteer on Saturdays and have various classes sprinkled throughout the year. I work very well with furbabies who can be alone during the day. I strive to provide a safe and responsible environment. I follow each parents' routine to a T (whether that's feeding amounts or exercise times), so that the fur baby's schedule does not shift upon return. I am also very tuned to differing personalities and will accommodate accordingly.

Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!”

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.

I keep their routine as close to normal as possible with regular walks, feeding, play, and downtime, and make sure they’re comfortable and settled while you’re away.
