**About me** My Husband, Andrew, and I live near Bank and Walkley in the South end of Ottawa. I work full time in Sales and Andrew is a full time student at the University of Ottawa. I usually leave home around 8:30 am and return at 6 pm, but Andrew has a flexible schedule and is sometimes home during the day. We have 2 cats who are very friendly and love dogs. I grew up with dogs and miss having one around! **About my home/services** We live in a townhouse with a private back porch and shared outdoor space (not private or fenced off). Our house has been "pet-proofed"- we use all pet-friendly cleaning products and are careful not to leave out any food, plastic, etc that animals might get into. **About my neighborhood** Our townhouse complex backs onto a playground/park. We prefer to drive to nearby parks or to the Rideau River or Canal to go for longer walks. **What to expect** We allow animals on all of our furniture (even our bed!) and pets will enjoy grooming (have experience clipping pet nails). Andrew is very active and loves to go for runs in our neighbourhood. **Special rules or requests** It would be best to have your dog come by and meet our cats before staying with us. We are able to separate our 2 cats from your dog while we are not home if this is an issue. We are open to all breeds and sizes.
