Dog Sitting in Scotia

“Not many people can handle my 3 crazy Pitbulls. Duncan did a great job, and most importantly kept all of my babies safe. Thank you Duncan, we look forward to having you back soon! Sam and Al”

“Jack is awesome! He is very knowledge and I feel my puppy is safe with him! He came at odd hours for me since I work overnights and I couldn’t be more grateful! He keeps you up to date with the app and photos which is very comforting!”

“Dawn was great and it’s even better that she lives so close to me. We really enjoyed getting pictures while we were away for the evening. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Whitney is AMAZING. she took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away. We are pretty sure they like her more than us and they are really excited for us to leave again so they get to spend more time with her!! Whitney sent us updates as pictures the entire time and gave them so much love. I highly recommend booking with Whitney!”

About: I’m a graduating law student looking to take pup-filled study breaks while I prepare for the bar exam. I have a big cat named Perry and I love dogs. I’ve had at least one dog my entire life, and most of my family members have as well, so I have a lot of experience with many different breeds. I hope you’ll trust me to take care of your beloved pets while you’re away. Even shy dogs and cats tend to warm up to me quickly, and I love getting them out of their shells. Please note that I am unable to do walks longer than 20-30 minutes. I am available for longer daytime stays but not overnight stays. I am currently a student, so my schedule, while a little sporadic, is fairly open, especially on the weekends. I also enjoy taking walks when I can, so adding dogs to those walks can only make them better! I do not accept clients for boarding. If and when I do drop in visits, I will make sure and follow the owner’s instructions, and primarily make sure the pet feels comforted and doesn’t feel alone.

About: I require meet and greets for all new pups at least one week in advance prior to their stay. Please allow for enough time for this if sending a new request and I have not cared for your pup yet. ☺️ I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and abilities my entire life (as well as hamsters, mice, turtles and fish). I've done volunteer work at my local vet as well as trained my own puppies and adult dogs over the years, and cared for my dogs and cats in their senior years. I've rescued abandoned cats and dogs, often being animals that have been injured, and taken them into my home to aid in their recovery, so I am familiar with care of pets with different abilities/medical needs. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, give medications, stay overnight and care for their pets. I have an immense amount of affection for animals, concern for their welfare, and a willingness to accommodate each pet. I have a familiarity with animals, knowledge of animal behavior and a comfort and ability to work with animals of unknown disposition and those who may exhibit medical and other problems. I'm currently working full-time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to give your sweet, furry family members a ton of love and attention! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekends. I do daily, thorough cleanings of all animal areas and feed my pup and cats twice a day. Your sweet boy or girl will be fed based on the directions given by you, at whatever times you prefer. I have 5 cats of my own and I also have an extra room that can be used solely for any visiting cats for their own peace of mind and comfort. None of my pets will be allowed in that room for the duration of your baby's stay if preferred (I've done this successfully multiple times with my family member's cats and new cats I have brought in over the years). Your pup can come along with mine for walks, or if that gives you worry, they can also stay home and only be taken out in the backyard when they have to go. Any time I will be gone for more than just a few minutes, I plug in my doggy camera so that I can check in at any moment. I work from home M-F, between the hours of 7am-5pm. Due to morning schedule of caring for several animals, working a full-time job, and bringing my son to school, I have limited drop-off and pick-up times to evenings only, up to 9:30 pm, M-F. This also allows me to have full attention on your pup when they first arrive to ensure they adjust well and feel comfortable. Weekend times are flexible. Pups are walked at least once daily (based on their leash training). I have a fenced in yard and also have a lead if one is preferred. Please let me know if your pup has any history of jumping fences. I can easily crate your dog if needed as I have two different sizes. I do daily cleanings of all animal areas and feed my pup and cats twice a day. Your sweet boy or girl will be fed at whatever times you prefer. I have an extra room that can be used solely for any visiting cats for their own peace of mind and comfort. Your pup can come along with mine for walks and dog park trips, or if that gives you worry, they can also stay home and only be taken out in the backyard when they have to go. Any time I am away from home I turn my doggy camera on so that I can check in at any moment (since they really are our babies and we tend to have anxiety about what might happen to them when we're gone in the same way we do with children)! There are no young children living in my home, but I do have a 16 year old son. While he'll definitely assist in providing your babies with extra love and affection during their stay (his naturally calm energy makes him great with animals), I provide all direct care for any visiting pet friends!

“We had a wonderful experience - everything we asked for was taken care of and we were kept very informed that the dogs were happy and safe while we were away.”

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs since a child. I recently adopted a puppy who’s been my pride and joy! I’ll be sure to give your fur baby just as much love. I have free availability most Fridays and weekends and am available after 4:30 on weekdays. Your pet will be sure to be given a great experience. I have the ability to handle dogs of any size. I will do everything required of me and more during my visits. I’ll be sure to send pictures and updates.

“Julianne was easy to reach, flexible and has great communication before, during and after the visit. She is reliable and took the time to play with our puppy and even sent me pictures. We will definitely use her again.”

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.

“I’ve booked with Lydia multiple times now, and every experience has been excellent. She is a great communicator, always sends photo updates, and treats my dog so well. My dog is always happy and comfortable when I return. Highly recommend!”

“Tatiana is the fairy paw mother! She took good care of my furry roommates and understood my anxiety of leaving them. I came home to happy well looked after cats.”

About: Hello my name is Jason, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your dog's unique personality and energy levels. I prioritize safety and engagement above all else. I provide consistent updates, ensuring you always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I treat every furry friend like family and look forward to making our walks the highlight of their day! What I offer: M-F Mid day around 11am-1pm And afternoon from 4pm-8pm Weekends: Anytime! Please reach out for other hours as I am flexible, and would love to make it work! Since I offer both in-home visits and boarding, my approach focuses on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine regardless of the setting. Here is how I handle care for both: When I visit your home, the goal is to keep your pet’s environment as stable as possible. Routine Maintenance: I follow your specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to the letter so your pet feels like you never left. Security & Safety: I ensure your home is secure upon arrival and departure. I also check for any household hazards or messes that need tidying. Quality Companionship: Beyond the essentials, I spend dedicated time playing, brushing, or just sitting with your pet to alleviate any separation anxiety. Boarding (My House) When a pet stays with me, I treat them like a temporary member of my own family. Safe Space: I provide a clean, pet-proofed environment with designated areas for resting, eating, and play. Supervised Socialization: If I have other pets in the house, all interactions are closely supervised and introduced slowly to ensure everyone stays happy and safe. Constant Monitoring: I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and energy levels to ensure they are adjusting well to the new surroundings. The Golden Rule: No matter the location, I prioritize fresh water, clear communication (including "pupdates"), and lots of positive reinforcement. My goal is a happy, relaxed pet and total peace of mind for you.

About: I have had a dog for the past 40 years. I treat my dog like family and know what its like to have to leave him for a day or overnight. I will treat your dog as I would my own. With enough planning and notice, your dog will be walked and fed and taken care of until you are there with him/her. I thought this would be a great way to help other families in need of petcare, dog walking, or even a little cat care. Also available to water the plants while I stay and play with your dog for a bit. Rest easy that while you are not available to come home, I will be able to walk, feed and play with your pet member.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable. With experience in walks, feeding routines, medication support, and giving plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels at home while you’re away. I am currently home from college so I’m pretty much free all week days! But I will do my best to always be there for your pet! I have four dogs at home and very confident that I will be able to take care of yours. My animals are very loved and social because of our loving atmosphere.

About: I take pride in all thing's pets. I honestly like animals better than people ha-ha. I'm also a great trainer. I work from home as well so Im always available for cuddles. I work from home full-time so I always have time for playtime and cuddles between client appointments. My fur babies are also super sweet and playful so your fur baby is in great paws. I can provide any special attention needed. I have a yard and 4 large parks nearby for playtime. I can also easily crate your fur baby if needed. I can provide any special attention needed.

“Julia was professional, sweet and careful with COVID going around I would recommend her.”
