Highlights
Pet care experience
dog sitter in rural Ottawa
We are a dog loving family living 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa. We have a rescue lab/boarder collie cross that just loves playing but also respects dogs that may not want to wrestle and will give them space. We live in rural Ottawa with a large yard. I like to take my dog to the dog park or off leash trails but also make use of the nearby trails that are within walking distance of the house. My dog was originally crate trained but does not use it anymore, so I can accommodate dogs that do or don’t use them. I’ve had experience with various dogs including training puppies. I can assure you that your dog will be treated like part of the family and will be given lots of outdoor playtime and snuggles. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ratings and reviews
I left my little guy, Oscar, with Clair for the first time, and she was so kind, attentive, and caring. She kept me updated throughout his stay and always made sure I knew how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t wait for Oscar to go visit her again soon! ❤️
My dog had a great experience with Clair and her family. Clair was easy to coordinate, provided lots of updates and put me at ease! Cant wait to book again
Otter had the best time at Clair's while we were overseas. Clair was communicative and proactively sent daily photos of Otter playing in the fields and in water with other pups. My boy did not want to leave when I came to pick him up 😅 I would definitely love to have Clair watch Otter again!
Had a great experience leaving our dog with Clair for the first time. She sent photos and messages to let us know our dog was adapting well. We will be very comfortable leaving her with Clair again.
Claire was very warm and attentive to Charlie! Was mindful of the weather and included walks that gave our sweet boys some water play time! 💦🐾
We had such a great experience with Clair! Kona stayed at her home for a full week while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She made sure Kona got lots of exercise with frequent off-leash walks, which she absolutely loved. We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Clair again!

Schedule
I work from home part-time and normally take my dog out for a morning run/walk/play and then again in the evening. My husband is home during the day and also helps care for your pets if I’m not at home. If it’s warm, I will take her to the river for a swim which is a 5 minute drive.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fenced and I normally accompany them when playing in the yard. I don’t normally take a lot of dogs at one time. During meals, dogs are fed separately to ensure safety. My top priority is the safety and security of your pet.

A typical day
A typical day includes an 5km off leash trail walk. If your dog is less active, I can easily adjust to allow for shorter walks or on leash walks - just let me know what works best! Lots of toys are available and a doggy pool for hot days. We also will often go swimming at the river when it’s too hot for long walks.
