Pet care experience

Experienced Orleans Pet Sitter

My family and I have spent years taking care of a wide variety of dogs, from puppies to seniors, Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and everything in between. I live near both on and off leash dog parks in the Ottawa suburbs with a fenced in back yard, so I can handle anything your dog needs to be comfortable. Our kids are 11 & 13 and are both comfortable and respectful with our guests.

The dogs were obviously well cared for by Ben. He shared pics and antidotes with us while we were gone. Would use him again, and highly recommend him for caring for your dog.

Thank you so much for taking care of Misty! You showed care and sensitivity and made every effort to make Misty comfortable and safe in your home. It was a whole family effort and was extremely appreciated. Your pictures and notes throughout her stay help me relax knowing Misty was happy.

Schedule

I work from home with somewhat flexible hours, so I am able to easily walk any guests before, after, and at lunch. With a fenced in back yard, I can also let them out back to rest or relieve themselves pretty much any time.

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the pet, either I let them wander the house during the day, or I bring with me in my office or as I move through the house, based on their personalities. I would take them on at least 2 walks a day, ideally to the off-leash park nearby, but if they do not react well to other dogs I would keep them at the closer on-leash park. At night I would have them sleep in the room with me, either on the bed or off, generally based on their preference.

A typical day

Depending on your dog's recall, comfort levels, and dog reactivity, I can either take them to the dog park to play fetch with them, give them on or off leash walks around my local parks, or play with them in my back yard.

I like to take dogs to a local off-leash dog park, but to do that I need to be comfortable with a dog's recall, temperament, etc., to ensure it is safe for both my guest ant the other dogs at the park! I also like to know about medical issues, dietary issues, fears and triggers, etc., to ensure that the visit is as calm and safe as possible for both us and your pet!
