“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Our dogs spent a week with Steve and had such a lovely time! Steve was very easy to work with and took great care of our pups. Also, if you have a pet with special needs (one of our girls is partially paralyzed and the other needs eye drops twice a day) I would absolutely recommend Steve.”
“Sheila is extremely kind, professional, and loving to animals. She went absolutely above and beyond caring for my very rambunctious puppy and I was touched to see how much she cared. She is an excellent communicator and I hope I have the privilege of working with her and her family again’”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“We were so happy with the love and care Cheryl provided to our fur babies while we were out of the country for 10 days. She put our minds at ease knowing that are pups were in good hands. She kept us informed and updated to let us know our fur babies were happy and healthy! We will definitely use her again.”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”

“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”

I could definitely see their love for animals which made me very confident in leaving my dog in their hands. He is staying with them again in a couple weeks :) I highly recommend their services! They also kept me updated on Klaus daily with pictures which I loved. Thank you Amelia and Matthew!”
“We will definitely book with Melanie again! She took great care of Rosco and I think he would have been happy to stay even longer. Lots of walks and cuddles were very appreciated :)”
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.

About: Hi! My name is Hillery. I have recently relocated to Ottawa, Ks from San Luis Obispo, Ca to help my mom on her equine farm. I am an avid animal lover as all animals have tender souls and deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and compassion. For more than 20 yrs I have been fortunate enough to lend a helping hand in caring for furry family members of people in need of animal and house sitting. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys. I would love the opportunity to help you, too. My place or yours. Cheers! I am currently available Monday through Saturday after 2pm for walks and/or drop in visits. I currently work Monday through Saturday from 6am to 3pm.

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?!
“Savannah has been great! We’ve had her drop-in cat sit twice now and she’s given us great updates and showed great patience and care for our very... “particular” kitty 😸 We can’t wait to have her watch our pup!”
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
“Grace was AWESOME! Grace was really personable and caring. My cat is usually standoffish but warmed up to Grace quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend Grace and will be reaching out again when traveling. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
About: I’ve taken care of alot of different kinds of pets, from feisty pit bulls, to sassy felines and I’ve always enjoyed their company vice versa I currently work part time nights, so I am able to play all day and somewhat into the night with your little bundle of joy! I have two walking trails outside of my home, and a lovely dog park for your baby to be able to run and play with other local puppers in a safe environment
About: Hi there! I’m Kylee, and I would love to care for your pet! I work during the day but have tons of free time otherwise and am looking to make some extra $ so this is what I chose to do and I am so excited! I absolutely love dogs and all animals as I grew up in a house with dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, hamsters and more so nothing is too crazy for me! My dogs are my pride and joy and I promise to treat yours with the same amount of love and compassion I would want anyone to treat mine with! My mom has a Belgian Malanois and we have raised him and trained him behaviorally from a puppy so if you have similar breed high energy dogs like him, I am well equipped for that! I do work during the day but I am happy to spend all my extra time with your furry friends and stay overnights as well! I know how important it is for dogs to get adequate time and exercise so I will make sure to get plenty of walks and dog park visits if needed! I also love to give pup cups if allowed!
“It was such a relief to find Emily so we could go on our trip and not worry about our kitties. She did an excellent job taking care of everything!! I will certainly contact her again when we plan to be gone again.”
“Maiya was absolutely wonderful with our sassy little bengal cat! We booked her for house-sitting and felt completely at ease while we were away. She was responsible, trustworthy, and attentive—not only did she take excellent care of our cat, but she also looked after our home with great care. We truly appreciated her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: Greetings my fellow furry friend lovers! While I am home in Downtown Lawrence, I enjoy going for walks and would adore having a pet to share that with! I have always had a dog growing up and would love the opportunity to help others take care of theirs. With my years of caring for pet experience, I know that your furry friend and I will get along quite well! I'm currently working part- time and am available to come home on lunch breaks to care for furry friends. I am available weeknights and weekends for any services you may need. I am also able to house- sit if given enough time to plan for it. I live in a 2 story walk-out and have a dog park located less than a quarter- mile from my home. I am always happy to cater to your furry friend's needs!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.
About: I've had my three cats since January of 2021. I fell in love with them while fostering and haven't looked back since. My love for them has taught me to love and care for all cats including calling myself an aunt to my friends cats. I'm their first call when it comes to taking care of their feline kids while they're away. I've taken care of up to three different cats in the same week while my friends and co workers were out of town and am always happy to do so.
About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

About: History: I have had dogs all throughout my life, starting in middle school when my mom and I adopted our first- under the agreement that I had full responsibility! Since then, I have had three dogs on my own, and I have provided care for my friends' and families' pets while they're away. Currently: I volunteer at Missouri Pit Bull Rescue weekly, and I have had several foster dogs through them as well. I dog-sit for my neighbors regularly. I live with my husband and our dog, Bully Porter, a 5-year-old spayed female pitbull mix. I am a registered nurse of over 12 years, and I also have experience administering medications to dogs. I am the main point of contact for the medical team through Missouri Pit Bull Rescue. I typically work from home, and during which, I have time through the day to care for pups who come to our home. Sometimes, we have a foster through the rescue, and during that time, I will need to turn off daycare/boarding. In the mornings, evenings, or over my lunch break, I can take dogs on walks or do drop-in visits. I am off most weekends as well. I do ask for flexibility with drop-in times, as my schedule may change with meetings and having to go in-person, however, I do my best to be accommodating, and I stay in communication. We have a 5' hog wire fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. Our female pit mix is SUPER friendly and would love to keep your dog company and play! We have 2 crates available (one medium, one XL, and when not fostering, two XL) if needed.
About: Looking for someone to love your pet as their own? Well you are on the right path! I absolutely love all dogs big and small! Looking for dogs that are kid friendly is a PLUS! We have been fostering through Unleashed for the last year. Currently we have fostered over 30 dogs and counting! Your pup will be in the best hands! References available if needed! You will be happy with the services provided! Treats will be given after each walk! Would love to take them out for a pup cup even! Stroll around the park. Maybe go to the dog park for a little swim! We have a fences in back yard for your dog to run around and play! They will for sure be worn out!
About: I've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.
“Steve is so very sweet. Juniper is a big puppy with lots of energy and emotions. Tbh, an exhausting toddler. He has so much love to give he just explodes. Until he collapses into sweet dreaming mode😂 Steve has been so patient and understanding of family circumstances and has been so supportive. Even reinforcing training and exposure on the daily to keep Junie the bestest boy ever. I’m grateful for Steve.”
About: My husband and I have a dog Anavrin Skye (Nirvana spelled backwards) she is such a sweet girl! She loves all people and animals! I've grown up with dogs my entire life and my love for all animals started at a young age. I've watched dogs for my friends and family for many years including puppies and senior dogs. You can rely on me to take care of your dog like you would take care of them. RIP Harley Jade our little angel. We miss you, sweet girl. I will have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks, play time, appointments,boarding, any anything else needed. Please reach out to me with any questions about my schedule. The way I care for my dog is how I will care for your dog. Your dog will always be safe in our caring and loving home.
About: I begged for my first dog when I was 10 years old, since then I have never been without one. I used to be called Brittany Dolittle as I just naturally gravitate toward animals. I watch friends and neighbors dogs while they are out of town with the help of my 3 kids. My kids are just as much animal lovers as I am. I am a stay at home mom that is currently taking some college classes. I am home pretty much all day. I have 3 boys that have been begging me to let them help watch our neighbors dogs, so they will be in charge of extra fun play time. I live in a house with a fenced backyard. Dogs do not get left outside. My dog is my biggest baby and is spoiled rotten. I have 2 cats that are very chill. Dogs will not be unsupervised and must sleep in a crate at night.
“Being from Lawrence I wanted to find a place close to home but I took a chance on in home care out of town and Mahala is 100% worth the 30-minute drive Monday-Friday. She’s incredibly accommodating and truly treats Gus like her own! he’s so spoiled with her. Gus is usually a very nervous dog, but he immediately fell in love with her, her family, and her dog, which says everything. He has a great space to play and relax, and now he gets excited to go to daycare every day. I couldn’t recommend Mahala more!”
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: *** New Rover Clients: Get $20 off your dog/cat's first booking! Contact me & enter promo code: SHEILW34825 at checkout. 😊 I grew up around and loved animals, especially cats and dogs. I have owned a lab, boxer and pitbull. I have also had cats all through growing up and in my adult life. After my last dog passed away in 2018, I found my home empty and needing some four-legged friends, but I am not quite ready to have my own again. Therefore, I would love to spoil your pets for a short time as if they were my own! I have an 11-year-old daughter who loves animals as well, and we would like to provide the utmost care and affection to your pets so you can have peace of mind while you are away. We will also give baths, and I can provide medicine to dogs if needed. Our home is 100% dog-friendly, and I aim to ensure your dog is comfortable and having fun! When taking on a new client, I recommend scheduling a meet and greet before booking. This gives us a chance to meet and introduce us to your pet and answer any questions you may have. I work from home and have time to let your fur baby outside as much as needed. We can even take walks at lunch! We have a fenced backyard to run, play, and potty. Your dog will never be unsupervised outside, though, since we also love being outside. Pet care is a large part of our daily routine! We will arrange our schedule around your dog, and I work from home, so spending lots of time with your pet is easy. We love caring for your pets inside our home! They are free to lay on all furniture and sleep in all beds if they want to. Your pet will be a loving part of our family while they are here.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have friends and family who have had cats my whole life as well. I love animals of all kinds, sizes, and ages! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I have a dog of my own that I care for daily. All of my family members and friends also have animals that I love to spend time with and care for whenever needed. I have a sweet and well tempered french bulldog who would love to hangout with your furry friends. I have a dog park attatched to my apartment complex that I’m happy to take your dog to as well!
About: I have had dogs since I was born and have taken care of them my entire life! I am a big dog lover and have 25 years of experience raising, feeding, house training, caring for, and loving on my pups (and every dog I encounter!!!) I am currently about to graduate law school in May and then will be studying for the bar exam Monday-Friday full time. So I will be home all-day, everyday during the week with the ability to take dogs on walks, potty breaks, go outside to play, etc. at any point in the day!! I live in an apartment and all of my neighbors have pups to keep your dogs company! There is a fenced-in dog park literally outside my window and I also have a porch that a dog can sit out on! My community is very dog-friendly! I do not have a crate, but if your dog is kennel trained then I can accommodate that if needed! I would prefer the pup to be potty trained and gets along with other dogs also. Other than that, I am pretty flexible as long as the dog is friendly!!
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”
About: I have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.
“This was our first time trying in‑home doggy daycare, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Ember can be a little nervous in new places, but she warmed up. She liked the outside time and found out about dog houses.”

About: Hi there! I’m a high school physical educator with a passion for staying active and healthy. While I don’t have a furry friend of my own right now, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and absolutely love spending time with them! I understand the importance of care, attention, and exercise for your fur babies, and I’d love the opportunity to provide that for them when you need a helping hand. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just cuddling up, I’m here to ensure your pet is well taken care of and enjoys their time with me. Let’s give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I just recently lost my sweet boy, who was very elderly. I took care of him daily to clean his ears, help him up and down stairs, as well as helping him eat. I have a very wide experience of taking care of pups! I currently working full-time as a physical educator, as well as a volleyball coach. I am available evenings and weekends all day!

I offer plenty of attention, exercise, and love, making sure they feel right at home in a safe, cozy space.
About: I have owned pets since I was very young and I became more responsible with helping take care of our pets around the age 10 or 11. I have given bathes, walks, baby sat, and clipped nails for friends and family. I also work hard to train my babies on commands. They are usually very well behaved but they are both still quite young and get so overwhelmed with excitement when meeting new people and/or dogs. I also know how to administer puppy shots and give pills/capsules. Many people trust me to watch after their beloved fur babies and I hope you will feel the same way. I have a part time job but I will have plenty of time to check on the pups and give them attention and potty breaks. Weekends are typically better for boarding and all day care but I maybe able to pull it off during the week. Other wise I’m open for walks and pop ins in the afternoon and evenings. I live right next to a park where I would take you dog for some exercise and potty time and there is a dog park about 2 miles from my home. I have crates if they are needed. I have 2 roommates who love dogs. I also have 2 dogs of my own who absolutely love to make new friends with dogs and will definitely help your babies burn off some energy.

I have a lot of experience with a lot of different tools used with dogs; from a flat collar to an e-collar to a prong collar. My three dogs are very well-behaved and are dog, cat, and kid friendly. I currently work through a local animal shelter so my hours tend to change from week to week, but I tend to be extremely flexible! Let me know your needs and I can plan accordingly! I see my clients animals just as my own, I would want my babies to be extremely well taken care of and all of my boxes checked, ducks in a row! So I understand clients wanting the same. I will be just as diligent with your fur babies as I am with my own, because I wouldn’t expect anything less.
About: I have always had dogs and absolutely love them! I have cared for friends/families dogs over the last several years. Our fur babies are apart of our families and need to be taken care of with love at all times! I know that when I am away from my fur baby I want to know that he is in good hands and being cared for with unconditional love! So I would provide the same for your pup! I do work full time as an Assistant Property Manager. I do work at the property where I reside. So I am flexible to come home and check and let the dogs out for potty breaks. In the evening I am home often. Lots of large areas to walk and play. I have a wrap around patio that your dog would be able to be out on. There is a fenced in dog area right around the corner from my apartment home and a nearby dog park.
About: I have had a variety of animals in my home since I was born and I love each and every one. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs. I’m not currently working, so I am almost always open to look after your babies! I am available all week and some weekends, just depending on the week! I can do whatever is needed for your pets whether that be kenneling, fenced yard, etc. I take my dog out on a leash at my house so i’m also good with that.
“Savannah is great with my dog! She did a meet and greet before and he instantly loved her (which he definitely does not love everyone!). He always seems to have a great time with her and she sends frequent updates on how he’s doing. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been working for a dog boarding and daycare facility for about a year and a half now! I have learned lots about dog behavior and how to interact with lots of different personalities- and I am still learning every day! I have experience in administering medications and would love to meet your pup! I currently work full-time caring for pets at a daycare facility, typically working either 6-1 or 1-7 Tuesday through Saturday. Fully available on Sunday and Monday! I have my own pup who is fixed and very friendly! I can bring him along if you want your dog to have any socialization or burn extra energy, but I am also more than happy to focus on your pet!
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: I've always had dog(s) in my household since I was a little kid. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. Trust me, I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside.
About: I’ve taken care of alot of different kinds of pets, from feisty pit bulls, to sassy felines and I’ve always enjoyed their company vice versa I currently work part time nights, so I am able to play all day and somewhat into the night with your little bundle of joy! I have two walking trails outside of my home, and a lovely dog park for your baby to be able to run and play with other local puppers in a safe environment
About: I’ve always had a great love for animals. I currently pet sit for a couple of families when they are out of town. I love every type of animal and can provide the care they need! I am currently a stay at home mom and am available most of the time to provide pet care. My husband has a flexible work schedule as well so he is able to keep our kids while I take care of animals. I pay attention to detail and am extremely careful to follow the pet owners guidelines for pet care. It is so important to follow directions to make sure pets are taken care of the way they need and deserve!
About: I have raised and trained several different breeds of dogs for over 30 years. I also have several years of cat ownership and care. I posses a natural and nurturing demeanor with all animals which breeds a instant trust. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for several types of pet care needs. The more interaction the better! I have a fenced yard and love to take walks with furry friends. My dogs have all been crate trained and am very familiar with that process of training. My own pets love endless snuggles and would love to share those snuggles with your pets.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.

About: Growing up with a personal nurse parent, I’ve always been the one to help with pets around the house! Walking, grooming, and sitting with all kinds of animals! I love to work out so whenever I go on a run, so can your pet! Loving and patient towards all animals, and excited to work with you. I am more than happy to pick up poop on walks if I must, and can match your dogs pace in whatever that may be!

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.
