House Sitting in Woodstock

“Such a pleasure to meet Adrian. He was thoughtful, respectful, and very responsible. We loved the photos of their walk he sent us. We are already booking our next mini vacation for him to take care of our dog, Rebel. Thanks again Adrian. Will be in touch!”

“This was the first time using Rover.com while we went on our trip. Walter provided daily updates which made us feel relaxed and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. When we returned the house and dogs were well taken care of. The dogs looked very relaxed and shared some quality time with Walter. We plan on using him again for our next vacation.”

About: I have taken care of several dogs and cats of friends and families throughout the years. They have relied on me to make sure their fur babies get walked, fed, bathed and played with while they were away! I currently work full time but have long weekend availability. Starting at 11am on Mondays and finishing at 12pm on Fridays. But am also available after 5 Tuesday-Thursday I don’t have any pets myself. But often walk and take care of my familys dogs. I can easily crate and feed dogs and cats.

About: I am very passionate about animals and have been taking care of my friends pets for over 15 years :) I have experience with all size dogs. I am available any day including weekends and holidays. I am available for walks, stop in visits and house sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets I care for. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch in the backyard and even just lounging on the couch to watch a movie together. Being around animals is like meditation for me :)

About: Training a service/therapy dog gives me purpose. Cleo and I work with all size dogs to boost confidence and improve socializing. I enjoy working with rescues. We also work in the health community doing therapy visits on a daily basis. I also conduct local walks at conservation areas and local dog parks. I am a practicing shaman, that values healthy diet and physical heath of animals. I have a real connection to all living things. I have worked with many small puppies teaching social skills with larger dogs, I practice these skills daily with house training including positive gentle greetings, sitting, eye contact, my walks include avoidance walks, pack walks, guide dog practices at all intersections learning sit and look for cars only crossing when permitted, eye contact training, graceful greetings with all people, extra care with seniors and children, scent training and positive reinforcement is a key practice in my personal experience. Pack walks are great fun and also great exercise, group therapy teachings in pack walks. I have personally done some world travel to many countries working with many cultures. I am a working professional who has a chance to enjoy the small things in life create safe places for people to share and build relationships with people who care about animals as much as I do. Pet Care is apart of my daily life with owning a large dog. I currently volunteer in the morning in waterloo doing dog therapy training. We are a very active team in the community. Caring for animals teaches me how to observe the world from a new experience. Also how to communicate in a language that is not spoken. Caring for something living gives me true purpose in life and I enjoy sharing that energy with all living things. I have learned to live without a trace and find a place a little better than what I found it. I keep safety first. I always check in before and after service. Open Minded, Honest and Caring.

About: I grew up with several types of dogs and I’m familiar with many dog breeds! I have a wide range of doggy love, for all ages and sizes. I currently have a wide range of availability, however hours change depending on the season. I do have a flexible schedule for the autumn and winter season! Routine and familiarity is crucial. I believe dogs thrive in environments that are structured, and structure helps them to be comfortable! I am happy to learn about your dog companions and meet your furry friends prior to the walk to make sure he or she is relaxed. I’ll bring treats for a peace offering :)

“We had an excellent experience with Eric! He arrived ahead of time to learn about Max's mobility challenges and get acquainted with him. He paid close attention for how to help Max and make things easier for him. It's clear Eric really loves animals and has a great rapport with them. It's always hard to find someone who can manage a senior dog that has physical limitations- we felt confident that Max was in great hands, and we'll definitely be booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!”

“Kristyn did a fantastic job over the long weekend with in-home care of my dog Olive. No overnights, which we agreed on and regular scheduled day visits, walks and meals. She sent updates via msg and pictures. I'm very pleased with the service, very reasonable rate and I would book Kristyn again!”

About: I've been a dog owner for the past 15 years Love all animals and treat them all with kindness and care Been dog sitting for about 4 years I work from home with a flexible schedule Weekends are free and overnights as well Prefer to know the day before if care is needed Cannot offer stays over night to other animals at my home at the moment. I can dog sit at my place during the day. Will update when that changes

About: As a multiple dog Mom, I have LOTS of experience with puppies and dogs of all ages. From whelping puppies to caring for senior dogs in their final days I’ve been there. I treat my crew like my kids (maybe better) 😂 because they are family. I could spend hours snuggling and playing because it brings me as much joy as it does them. I am passionate about teaching my dogs manners on leash and around the house, so I have done lots of training with my crew and helped others as well. I know it can be hard to trust people with your furbabes which is why I decided to offer my services, because I would want someone like me caring for my crew when I couldn’t be there. I am a SAHM with 3 older kids, (18,14,11) so I am available during the day and evenings through the week and weekends as well as through the night should that be required. I am available to come to your home to care for your dogs to make things more comfortable and convenient for you and yours. I can follow your routines and instructions as needed. I could accommodate in my home in special circumstances with notice, we have different sized crates available and a fenced in back yard, however we do have multiple dogs in the home and this could essentially feel intimidating for some dogs.

About: I currently have two senior cats who love nothing more than sleep, I’ve also had dogs almost all my life one being a foster who was having knee surgery at the time I currently don’t work a traditional job so I’m available to walk, play, let your fur babies out and or just come hang out with them! I will provide care based on your guidance as you know your pets best! I would also put my pets safety at top priority as I will do with yours!

“Very impressed with Jessica! She came on short notice and was amazing with our little pack ! Highly recommended and will definitely be a repeat customer !! :)”

“My husband and I left for a week and our dog seemed to be very happy staying with Jess. She is very thoughtful and takes our dog’s needs to heart. We definitely recommend Jesse for any housesitting.”

About: -I have some experience caring for dogs, through owning a family dog. I also briefly did dog walking a couple years ago for one of my neighbours. -I am committed to researching your dog’s breed and size needs, to ensure your baby is cared for completely and well! -I do not work with violent dogs, as I am not equipped to handle their specific needs and behaviour. - I only serve Woodstock, ON due to transportation. My Buddy 🐾🕊️: My family dog, Buddy, just recently passed this last October. I greatly miss him, he was the sweetest angel. He is the reason I have decided to do pet care for others. It is a way for me to care for animals while honouring him. I promise to love every animal with as much of my heart as I loved my own!! I am starting college soon, but I am always looking to fit your needs into my schedule and work around my own obligations! Weekends are preferred for more availability, but otherwise we can work together to figure out the right time(s). I research my client’s dog breed and size before care, to ensure their pet is properly and sufficiently cared for! I work each pet’s needs into my care always! Some supplies may need to be provided by the owner, depending on the service. I find most animals prefer their own belongings anyways, which can make the experience more comfortable for your pet!

“Brandon was an amazing friend for Buddy while we were away. It was great having Buddy cared for in his own home and he enjoyed spending time with Brandon in familiar surroundings. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for loving care for their fur baby 😊”

About: Hi there, thank you for visiting my page! I have a solid background in working with dogs with a focus on fostering positive behavior and building strong relationships with the clients of the animals. I have experience in owning a various breeds such as a Doberman pinscher, Poodle and Terrier. I’m experienced in providing care, handling, and socializing pets of various ages and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. My experience also includes supporting pet owners with everyday care routines, focusing on overall well-being and balance between pets and their families. I work from home so I can ensure that feeding time, multiple walks and other daily routines can be kept consistent when in my care. I would want to communicate what the client at the times needs are for their animal when I am taking care of them. This is in regard to being in a crate or not, having food out or have specific food times, having a fenced in yard or not. I am open to offer any specifications that they client needs at that time.
