Dog Sitting Ottawa Hills

About: I love all pets and grew up with two dogs during my childhood. I have experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. I now have a dog and cat of my own. I am open to caring for exotic pets such as guinea pigs, as I have had two in the past. I am open to drop in visits and dog walking. I look forward to helping you and your pets and making sure they are looked after while you are away! My availability varies week-to-week as I work part-time three days a week and my schedule changes weekly. I usually have open availability on Sundays. I do have two young children, so if I am needed on a day other than Friday or Sunday, I may bring them with me. I am willing to provide professional and personal references and more information if needed. Thank you in advance! My schedule varies as I work three days a week, various days each week, but most Sundays I have open availability. I do get my schedule a month in advance. When with your pet, I will assure that they are properly fed, exercised, and played with in order to provide proper care while you are away.

“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets. I grew up with multiple dogs and I currently care for 1 dog and 4 cats. My family has owned many pets from fish to reptiles so I’m comfortable with different types of animals and personalities! Im currently working during the day/evening in the week so my availability is primarily in the early mornings. My work schedule may vary, so I could have additional availability on certain days off. I always make sure my own pets have consistent feeding schedules and fresh water every day. I also make sure to give them extra attention when needed!

“Cindy is great! She is attentive and always sends a report.”

About: Animal lover household! I have taken care of many dogs in the past. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever that would love to have some friends around! We have a house with a gated yard. I am currently working from home which gives me the capability of giving your pets the full attention they deserve. Your pet/pets will be my top priority from playtime to bedtime! I have a fenced in yard and a gentle golden retriever who gets along great with other dogs and is willing to tire herself out playing with your pup! We allow pets to roam the home and lay on the furniture and if the owner prefers, we have crates and gates as well if the owner thinks accommodations are necessary. Your dog will be fully safe and supervised for their stay; as well as provided with lots of cuddles! I fully understand the feeling of leaving your pup with someone new, but I am consistently updating with pictures, videos and updates of the stay/visit!

About: Hi! I’m Krystal, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years. I provide dependable dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care for dogs, cats, seniors, and multi-pet households. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work, your puppy needs a potty break and some playtime, or your pets simply do better with a consistent routine, I’m happy to help. Visits can include walks, potty breaks, meals, fresh water, medication, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets requiring medication or a little extra patience and support. After caring for my own senior dogs, I understand how reassuring it is to have someone dependable who will take the time to get to know your pet and their individual needs. I’m available for both occasional and recurring weekday walks and drop-ins and love building long-term relationships with pets and their families. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my days around the pets in my care. My daytime schedule typically includes walks, drop-in visits, errands, appointments, and other everyday commitments. For boarding and house sitting, I spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day while balancing my scheduled visits and commitments. Because of this, pets should be comfortable spending some time independently while I’m out. I also offer complimentary meet & greets so we can connect, review your pet’s routine, and make sure we’re a great fit before their stay! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For boarding, I provide a comfortable home environment and follow your dog’s feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Favorite toys, treats, and comfort items are always welcome! In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, medications, playtime, and household preferences. I’m also happy to reinforce any training or routines you’re currently working on.

About: We adopted my mom’s dog back in 2020, so since then I have had experience living with dogs. I then adopted my dog, Smokey, in 2024. I potty and leash trained Smokey, and also taught him numerous tricks. Then in January, I adopted Canelo, and I was able to leash and potty train him (he is older so he was sort of potty trained), along with teaching him how to use steps! I attend college one day a week, on wednesdays, so I have plenty of time! I would love to care for your pet with all of the free time I have. Whether it’s checking in or walking your dog, I’m able to do it all in the comfort of your home. At your home, I will assure to respect everything and watch over your pet with care! I am able to crate your pet at my home as well, if needed.

About: I have 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including breeding and raising puppies, professional training, and working with rescue dogs needing behavioral rehabilitation. I have experience with many breeds, temperaments and behavioral challenges, along with numerous references from clients and families who have trusted me with the care and training of their dogs. Drop-in visits are available for potty breaks, feeding, medication, playtime and check-ins for dogs of all ages. Because I’m also a professional dog trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience training, manners and mental stimulation into our time together. Your dog gets the care they need, plus productive one-on-one attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate both regular and occasional drop-in visits throughout the week. Whether you need ongoing visits, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and schedule. I care for each dog according to their established routine, household rules and individual needs. As an experienced trainer, I’m comfortable reading canine body language and handling different temperaments. I respect your home, your dog’s boundaries and the training or structure you already have in place while providing safe, attentive care.

About: I’ve worked at two doggy daycares, so I have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve also done pet sitting and dog walking for multiple families, and I have a dog of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. What sets me apart is how patient, loving, and attentive I am—I really care about making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.🐾🩷 I have a full-time job from 7 to 330, but I’m available anytime after that. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs! I try to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible! I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of love and attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and follow all your instructions so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!

“Jay is great! He showed up on time daily. Both of my dogs were happy to see him each day and he walked both of them with ease. I would highly recommend Jay.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years! Being from a small town, lots of friends and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs and cats while away on vacations. On top of this, I currently work as a full time nanny, which has taught me so many things such as reliability and responsibility- characteristics that directly translate to pet care. I am available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the early mornings (before 10:00 a.m.) and again after 6:00 p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 3:00 p.m. I also have open availability all day on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For the most part I can be pretty flexible, so don’t hesitate to message me with specifics. When caring for a pet in a clients home, I feel it is most important to treat their home with respect and prioritize pet happiness!!

About: I have many years working with animals! I first got my dog for my Master’s graduation present! In the time of receiving her I have trained my dog to do 7 tricks in a couple weeks. She knows how to sit, stay, lay down, play dead, dance, come, up and down as well amongst training her how to walk properly on a leash and potty trained. Currently my schedule is wide open so I would be available for you and your family/dog as needed! I am eager to get to know your dog! I can pet sit for your dog. I care for my dog by walking her and getting her outside to play fetch with her favorite tennis ball. For your pet I would walk them, play with them, also can stay and sit for trips.

About: I have worked in the vet field as a vet assistant for 9 years . I have owned animals since I could remember and caring for animals is all I know !

Updates always! I like to send pictures and text messages updating owners how the pet is doing and what activities we do. I always greet the pets first and I like to greet with a preferred snack of pet and owners choice . Checking if need food or water / refreshing water bowls and scheduled feedings . Letting them outside to use restroom and a small play session with their pick of toy / activity . Giving praise and a treat .

Gives a pet comfort and distraction when leaving.

About: I have been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school. I have many years experience with home and pet sitting. I can also administer medications including vaccines. I am currently looking to do pet sitting full time and have a very open schedule, so I am very flexible in what days I can sit. I will no longer be accepting clients if it is within a week of booking, as that does not give me time to properly look into who I accept as a client. I am also requiring a meet and greet at least a week in advance to see if your dogs are properly trained and will listen to basic commands, and to make sure the house is clean and liveable for the time I will be there. I plan on utilizing what is available at your house, but I also plan on taking your pet for car rides or to parks to enjoy the outdoors, if that is something they are allowed. I can’t stay at a house or get dogs out of a house with cats. I am highly allergic to them, so it has to be a dog only household. I am currently only able to stay at your home as an option, as my household has dog unfriendly dogs.
