Pet Sitting in Ottawa

“Sheila was fabulous for a quick drop-in visit for our two golden retrievers! I contacted her a few hours before the visit and she responded immediately was more than willing to help out. She was on time, very communicative, and even sent pics while she was there. She updated me as she went and gave me a fabulous recap of the visit and reassured me that the house was locked when she left. She loved on the pups and was so kind. She was absolutely amazing, especially last minute having never been to our house before, and we would love to use her again!”

“I had Erin help with drop ins while my 8 week old puppy got the hang of potty training while I was at work. She cared for the dogs, played with, gave snuggles and great report cards and pictures. She was punctual and very communicative and flexible if needed. I appreciated her professional manner and would hire her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had pets in the home. I believe animals are like children. I volunteer part time at prarie paws animal shelter in ottawa to share my love for pets. I train all of my own pets and am able to handle large dogs, difficult leash walkers, and provide mentally stimulating activities. I work 5 minutes from home. On week days I go home for my lunch to care for the animals in my care. The animals will only have to go up to 4 hours during the day without interaction. During this time they will be supervised via a monitor in the room. We are a multi pet home. We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 fish tanks, and even chickens. We love animals! Your pet will have his or her own private suite in our home which includes a bed, Kennel, toys, blanket etc. We provide activities that will help mentally stimulate your pet and ease their anxiety. The upper level of our home is where your pet will be housed, away from the other animals to prevent any conflicts that may occur and reduce any anxiety that may come with unfamiliar animals. We are able to take up to 2 pets. This number is decided on the amount of private space we are able to provide your pet. 2 rooms are available.

“Amanda was amazing! She really helped our pups feel cared for. Definitely will recommend her and keep her in mind for the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, and it's a passion of mine to love and take care of animals. For extra money in high school, I would dog sit for family friends while they were on vacation, and I still dog/cat sit for my friends and family occasionally. Recently, both of my childhood dogs passed away. I can't have dogs in my apartment and I feel a longing to bond and spend time with dogs. This job is a wonderful way to utilize my animal experience and also fulfill my need to interact with dogs. I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule is very flexible. If you would like your dog walked or cared for routinely throughout the week, let me know and I will be happy to fit you into my schedule! I do not offer dog boarding for clients since I am not allowed dogs/cats in my apartment. I do however love to dog sit or just come by during the day to take them on a walk. I understand animals are a part of the family and it takes a lot of trust to allow someone else to take care of them. I always send you pictures of your pet when I’m caring for them. Not only does this assure you that your pet is in good hands, but who doesn’t love a random picture of their furry friend?!

About: Growing up, we always had dogs in the house. I am experienced in feeding, bathing, walking, playing, and caring for dogs. I have dog-sat for family friends on and off over the years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ranging from Dobermans to miniature dachshunds! I am a college student at OU, so I have flexibility during the day between classes to give dogs potty breaks, feed the dogs, and provide some play time/exercise! Most weekends I am not available due to athletics for the college. I will make sure to use only treats and toys provided from your home unless instructed otherwise. If your dog needs to be put in a crate, I will safely and calmly insert and release the dog from their crate! The dog will be played with safely!

“We highly recommend Allison!! She goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are safe, happy and loved while we’re away. We couldn’t enjoy a vacation without knowing they’re in her capable care. 🥰”

“They were absolutely amazing! Savanna’s husband was a huge help. Our doggos are our babies and our big boy got a pretty nasty ear infection and they sent a lot of photos to us, to reassure us he was fine. Our cat even came out to visit. He’s super skittish around anyone including us and he was coming out to visit each time. We loved them definitely will use them again for our next adventure!”

I currently work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities.

My goal is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 years old and helps me with pet sitting. He absolutely loves animals and has a lot of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from the time he was a puppy and did an amazing job with him. He also grew up with several cats, so he’s very comfortable around both dogs and cats.
