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.

Nous avons aussi un enfant de 1 an qui est toujours supervisé en présence d’animaux. Je travaille de la maison à temps plein donc disponible pour m’occuper des animaux à la maison. Je sors dehors avec eux 1 à 2 fois par jour pour aller marcher ou jogger. Nous avons une cours clôturée et un gentil berger australien qui adore jouer avec les amis.

“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: 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 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’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: 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 owned dogs and cats all my life and I have a small 12 pound dog that is eight. I understand how important it is for pets to have time to play and stay into their daily routine. I am able to walk, play or administer medicine when required for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, so my daily routine allows me to be nearby as needed. I have time to walk, or change their litter, and ensure that their daily needs or outdoor time is tended to. I am able to adjust the care as required to meet the needs of each pet. In my home I have one small 12 pound dog, who is eight and very sociable. If needed I can drop in to take care of your pets while you’re away, and with clear instructions I can ensure they’re cared for as needed.

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.

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.
