Dog Walking Watterson Corners

“Catherine is great with my 2 year old dog. He can be very excited for a walk and Catherine handles him very well. I look forward to having her walk him.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a child, and I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals (even saving wild rabbit litters more than once!). Additionally, I work part-time at a local pet store, where I've received extensive training in pet care and health. I have lots of flexibility around my schedule, but usually mornings or weekends (excluding Saturdays) work best for me! I'm always willing to move things around if needed. I have experience with crate-trained animals and free roamers. I’m open to any of your preferences regarding your pets' care, and will strive to maintain their routine. Part of my job requires completing Animal Care courses, so I have above-average knowledge regarding pet health and care. It's important to me to treat your pets the way you would, including working on any training or behaviours you've been working on at home! I also own a cat, but she is very friendly and well-socialized, so I'll take any preferences regarding her interactions with your animal into consideration while they stay with me. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your baby is well cared for so you can enjoy your time while they're away.

About: I’ve had a dog for the past 12 years and have learned a lot about caring for her individual needs. She can be anxious around new people and loud noises, so I’ve learned to stay calm and give her time to feel comfortable. Now that she’s a senior, I’ve also learned to adapt to her changing needs, from shorter walks to extra rest and patience. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule, and I’m usually free in the mornings. I also work a couple of evenings a week, but I’m happy to work around your schedule! I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who are shy or anxious. I also follow the owner's instructions closely so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away

About: Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! As a dog-owner, I have experienced the stress and anxiety of finding someone who will look after my dogs the same way I do. Someone who is patient with their quirks and willing to treat my dogs as their own…..so this is what I strive for while looking after your dogs! Most importantly, I want your time away (whether it’s for work, travel or something else) to be as stress free as possible. I have 10+ years volunteering with various animal rescue groups and I am a certified Therapy Dog team member (Magical Paws Pet Therapy) which means I volunteer in LTC homes and hospice with 2 of my dogs. I am also an approved foster home for multiple rescues across Ontario. We have fostered 16 rescue dogs in the past 4 years. I have a 15-year old daughter (loves animals and is a huge help with your dogs). Smoke-free home. I have a fully fenced yard, and live in the country (only 20 minutes from Ottawa and 3 mins from the 416). I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs & special needs dogs. Willing to administer medication. Whether your dog(s) want hiking and adventure, (cooling off in my dog pool, or just chilling on the couch) I’m happy to provide whatever level of activity your dog enjoys! Feel free to ask me anything else! I am home full time. If I need to step out for errands etc. I try to do so when my daughter is home so that pets are always supervised. On the rare occasion we both need to be out for a short period, dogs are given their own safe space to decompress and relax. I have 3 very friendly small dogs (all neutered and up to date on shots) and a fully fenced yard. We also have a small doggy pool for hot days.

“Kyla was wonderful in accommodating our last minute request for dog walking. She went above and beyond with her walks and I can tell that our pup was very happy with her. Thank you for the wonderful attention to our Charlie girl, Kyla!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.

About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

“Na was amazing with my dog, Bean! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. She provided regular updates and shared lots of photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Bean was in excellent hands, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend Na to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: Having worked at PetSmart, I am formally trained in basic animal behaviour, proper handling techniques, and standard pet safety. I specialize in maintaining seamless, stress-free routines for healthy, independent dogs. I am a detail-oriented professional and meticulous home manager, ensuring your property remains clean, secure, and compliant with home insurance requirements while you travel. I work a rotating shift schedule, typically alternating between daytime (7:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and evening (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM) hours. Because my hours shift, I am the perfect fit for highly independent, low-maintenance dogs who are comfortable being left alone for an 8-hour stretch at various times of the day. No matter my shift, I always provide a dedicated presence at the home overnight, ensuring your property is secure and your pets get their consistent morning and late-night routines. I strictly follow all homeowner instructions regarding property security, locking doors, and gate safety. To ensure the highest possible quality of care and complete safety, I exclusively limit my services to properties with no pets or to healthy pets that do not require medical care, injections, or complex medication schedules. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, bringing in mail, and managing curbside bins so it always looks occupied. I am also a dog owner.

“My dog took an instant liking to Erica. She is clearly very comfortable with big dogs who love to be loved (and might be a bit over exuberant). Erica quickly responded and was a pleasure to meet. I have no hesitation in recommending Erica’s dog walking services.”
