Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority! Each and every time your dog goes on a walk with me, or if I’m pet sitting for the day or overnight, they’ll be in good hands. Please let me know if there’s anything specific that would make you and your pet feel at ease.

Information Maureen K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet's food/medication schedule and any other pertinent information at our meet and greet. It is also important for me to know any favorite hiding spots or other unique quirks! Let me know if they are allowed on your furniture (and in the bed), and whether or not they can easily get on and off the couch on their own.

A typical day

I can’t wait to see where your dog likes to take his or her walks! If they like a specific route, please just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate! Or, if your pet is more of a homebody, I’m sure that we can have plenty of fun playing with toys or in the yard.

Experienced Dog Walker/Cat Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Maureen. I’ve been dog walking and cat sitting for several years now, and I can’t wait to hang out with your cats and dogs! I am currently accepting new clients in Sandy Hill, Old Ottawa East/South, the Glebe, Little Italy, Chinatown, Hintonburg, Wellington West, and Westboro. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, but I’ve especially loved the big dogs that I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with. I have a lot of experience with high-energy dogs as well. But whether your dog likes a leisurely stroll or a fast-paced walk through their neighborhood, I’ll be there to make sure that they have fun on our walk.

As always, Maureen is the perfect person to take care of our little Cricket! She is reliable and always makes sure that we have regular updates on the daily shenanigans. She takes amazing care of our kitty and we couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks, Maureen! You’re the best.

Abby my 7 month old puppy loves Maureen. I felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight with Maureen staying in my house. When I returned my house was tidy and clean and Abby was a happy girl. I had so many updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend Maureen to anyone and will be happily xoxo racing her again.

Maureen was wonderful with our senior dog Monty! He felt comfortable with her right away despite his anxious nature. We will definitely be booking with Maureen in the future!
