Cat Sitting Val-des-Monts

“Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!”

About: 🌐Bilingue FR/EN | +30 ans d’expérience | ⛑️Premiers soins chiens & chats — Croix-Rouge. Fiable et engagée : lorsque j’accepte une garde, je prends cet engagement au sérieux. 🐾 Animaux de tous âges bienvenus! J’affectionne tout particulièrement les animaux seniors, sensibles ou à mobilité réduite, pour avoir accompagné mes propres compagnons jusque dans leur grand âge. 🦮 De la séance de gratouilles aux promenades et aux jeux actifs, j’adapte mon attention à la personnalité, au rythme et aux habitudes de chacun. Promenades sécuritaires, renforcement positif, beaucoup de « Bon chien! » et gâteries selon vos consignes. 🧹 Les petits oopsies? Ça arrive! Je nettoie, tout simplement. Je suis également à l’aise avec l’administration de médicaments oraux. Bien-être, sécurité et plaisir sont mes priorités. 🌎 J’ai beaucoup voyagé avec ma famille poilue et je connais d’expérience les enjeux de choisir, puis de faire confiance à la personne qui prendra soin de son compagnon, pour quelques heures comme pour un long séjour. 🔐 CONFIANCE : propre, ponctuelle et fiable, en plus je suis certifiée en premiers soins pour humains et je détiens une cote de sécurité de niveau Secret du gouvernement fédéral. Pour votre tranquillité d’esprit lors de longs séjours, je peux également arroser vos plantes et ramasser votre courrier pendant votre absence. 📸 BONUS : excellente photographe!

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.

“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”

About: Growing up in China, I had a sweet Bichon Frise, and that’s where my love for animals began. After moving to Canada, I became a cat parent and have now been caring for cats for over eight years. I currently have two cats of my own, both with very different personalities—one is outgoing, affectionate and curious, while the other is more sensitive and needs a little extra time to feel comfortable. Living with them has taught me that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. Some cats want to be your best friend right away, while others prefer you to sit quietly nearby and let them make the first move. I’m happy to do both! I’m patient, attentive and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll never rush them before they feel safe. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, keep their food, water and litter area clean, spend time playing or cuddling with them, and send you photos and updates. I also have experience giving oral medication when needed and can follow instructions carefully. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language feels most comfortable for you. Skills 🐾 – patient and gentle with shy or nervous pets – attentive to behaviour and body language – feeding, litter care, playtime and brushing – medication and care instructions – photo and message updates Experience 🐶🐱 – over eight years of caring for cats – currently a cat parent to two lovely boys – grew up caring for a family dog – comfortable with pets of different personalities and energy levels Available on weekdays after 5PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for your pet, making sure they feel safe and well looked after while you’re away🥰 My home has several separate rooms, so visiting pets can have their own quiet space when needed. I also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, with plenty of trails nearby for walks and exploring.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs, and caring for my own 12 year old cocker spaniel has taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and compassion. She has digestive issues, so I prepare her meals myself and closely monitor her health: this experience has made me especially attentive to the unique needs each dog might have. I love taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels happy and safe. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets many times, knowing I treat every animal like my own. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care every time! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I'm a university student who genuinely loves dogs and would be so happy to spend my free time caring for and hanging out with pups. I also love going on walks, so your dog can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise with me:) my apartment is very pet friendly, with a dog wash area and outdoor space for dogs to play. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company, or just lots of love and attention, I'd be happy to make them feel at home❤️ When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and health, always keeping a close eye to ensure they’re happy and well.

About: Je m'occupe de chiens depuis mes 11 ans, je vis en ce moment avec un chiwawa de 11 ans et un chiot Pitsky (mix de pitbull et de husky) de 13 semaines. Je travaille en ce moment a temps partiel et en vu des vacances, j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour garder vos animaux. De plus, je suis étudiant au cégep donc j'ai des vacances plus longues. Je vais garder vos animaux selon vos critères et vos demandes. Par exemple le nombre de marches voulu, les besoins de nourriture, le type d'environnement, etc.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, having cats since I was a kid, constantly being around dogs & finally having my own for the last 6 years, & 15 years of riding and training horses. I’m confident, attentive, and used to picking up on what animals need, when they need it. I work a shift schedule, so my availability isn’t the same every week, but I’m reliable, communicate early, and only take bookings I can fully commit to. I provide house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits depending on what your pet needs. 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.

“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”

About: Hi my name is Sarah. I’ve always been passionate about animals so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring for your pet. While I was in school, I fostered dogs for a rescue organisation. As seen in the pictures I have a golden (Moka or momo) and his little sister the cat (Doja). The other dogs in the pictures are foster dogs we loved & welcomed into our home. I live in a cozy home with a large fenced backyard and love incorporating walks, outdoor time, hikes, and relaxing routines into daily life. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsible, organized, and attentive to routines, instructions, and pet needs. I can also provide regular photo updates for peace of mind 🤍 I’m bilingual in English and French and happy to answer any questions before bookings! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a dog of my own and love staying active outdoors. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outside, and maintaining calm, structured routines at home. My current schedule allows me to bring Moka at the office which only makes me a best fit during the weekend if you are looking for constant care. However, during evenings and weekends, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day 🐾 I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are part of the family. I live in a clean, cozy home with a large backyard and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and given plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and preferences, and I’m happy to provide regular photo updates (I know how it is). I also have experience with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities 🤍
