Top cities for doggy day care in Canada

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Barrhaven for a home day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Barrhaven Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer home day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Barrhaven sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

Hello Pawrents :)

Welcome to my page! I'm Ivonne, and my love for animals began in my childhood. I've had the joy of caring for a variety of furbabies, from bunnies and goats to a pig and dogs. Since the age of five, I've been passionate about rescuing animals, often bringing home injured or stray pets. Fortunately, my animal-loving parents supported me and embraced these new family members. They could share countless stories of my creative explanations for how an animal found its way into our home!

As an adult, I've continued this journey, caring for dogs and bunnies, primarily through rescues and adoptions. My oldest rabbit lived to 12 years, following the passing of his mate from old age. With over 20 years of experience, I've worked with rescues and animals with physical and mental disabilities and special needs. These experiences have introduced me to a wide range of personalities, showcasing the incredible resilience, love, and loyalty that animals possess. Each furbaby is unique and special in their own way.

My Promise to You: As a fellow pawrent, I understand the anxiety of leaving your furbaby with a caregiver. Rest assured, I will treat your furbaby as if they were my own, with respect, kindness, compassion, and plenty of love, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. I will follow your guidelines and their schedule, providing regular updates with pictures, videos, and even video calls if you wish. I offer services for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds.

About My Place: I live in a spacious apartment without a backyard, but there's a beautiful park right across the street where your pup can run. Additionally, there are several dog parks and hiking trails nearby.

Services:
- Walking Services (prices for up to 30 minutes)
- Daily Drop-in Visits (feedings, medicine administration, potty breaks, cuddles, and playtime)
- Boarding (your furbaby stays at my home)
- Housesitting (I stay at your home)

The pictures posted are of some of the wonderful furbabies I've had the pleasure of working with.

My approach to pet care is personalized to ensure each furbaby feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they are in my home or yours. Here’s how I care for pets based on the service you choose:

**In My Home:** 
I live alone and currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me to dedicate all my attention to your furbaby. They are welcome to relax on all furniture and can even sleep with me, provided you’re comfortable with it. My home is a spacious apartment with easy access to a nearby park, perfect for playtime and exercise.

**In Your Home:** 
When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your guidelines and maintain their regular routine. I provide the same level of love, attention, and care as I would in my own home. Your furbaby will receive plenty of cuddles, playtime, and exercise, ensuring they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment. 

No matter where I care for your pet, my priority is their well-being and happiness, ensuring they feel right at home.

While under my care, your furbaby and I will engage in a variety of fun activities tailored to their needs and preferences. For dogs, we'll enjoy plenty of outdoor time, including walks in the park and play sessions. All furbabies will have ample playtime, ensuring they stay active and entertained. Additionally, your pets will receive lots of love and cuddles, creating a comforting and affectionate environment. Rest assured, your furbabies will be in excellent hands, receiving abundant love and attention while you're away.

Questions for you: 
- Does your furbaby have any behavioral issues?
- Does your pet have any dietary restrictions?
- Does your pet experience separation anxiety?
- Is your dog potty trained? Do they frequently have accidents?
- Does your furbaby have any health concerns?
- Has your dog had any fleas in the past two months?
- Is your dog up to date with their vaccinations?
- What activities does your furbaby enjoy? Do they have any favorite toys?
- What is your furbaby’s daily routine, including feeding, walking, and playtime schedules?

Me and my wife have decided to go with Pawshake for the great reviews and company. We are retired professionals. We offer home boarding here at our apartment. Also while boarding we offer dog walks. We offer the food and water and treats at no cost unless you want otherwise. You can let us know how many walks a day you would like when we talk. We will do it. Since we are retired, we will spend all day and night with your loved one. They will never be alone.We would take a maximum of 3 dogs at same time this way we can care and love them all. There is only me and my spouse and our little 6 month old pomchi as you will see our pup in pics. We have a nice size apartment and your pet can sleep anywhere they will feel comfortable. We are flexible, unless you advice us otherwise. We don't have a backyard, just patio. But there is a big school yard attach to our building where people take their dogs for walk or play.Thanks and talk soon.

I've grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. From caring for neighborhood dogs, to adopting our first family dog, to raising my own dog from a puppy, dogs have always been a big part of my life.I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities - whether your dog is calm, energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience. I take the time to build trust, keep them safe, and make sure they feel happy and cared for while they're with me. 
I always include walks, playtime and mental stimulation. They will be kept inside the apartment able to free roam as they please. I'll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get the attention, care, and love they deserve!
Please let me know about the general behaviour, their listening skills and their energy levels. I am open to all kinds, I just need a heads up to prepare beforehand. I have prior experience with puppies, old age, and reactive dogs!




Dog will be staying in quiet and peaceful place in our home! We can go out over 3 times for potty breaks and walk. We will be together for the morning and enjoy evening time together. We will contact instantly to you and pawshake for emergency cases.


I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 1 year of professional pet-sitting experience, along with over 10 years of caring for my own cat, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I accept both dogs and cats and am confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, always adapting to their individual needs. Dogs typically get 2–3 walks per day (20–40 minutes each depending on their needs), along with feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, while cats receive regular feeding, litter box cleaning, and interaction based on their personality. From Monday to Thursday, pets may be left alone for around 6 hours, although my schedule can vary, and I do my best to minimize alone time. I can manage multiple pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free, and I provide regular photo updates for peace of mind. Walks are tailored to each dog’s energy level and preferences, and I can offer pickup and drop-off as long as the distance is reasonable. In case of emergencies, I stay calm, contact you immediately, and follow your vet’s instructions or visit the nearest clinic if needed your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.I grew up with two cats and learned how to communicate effectively with animals. I have also continuously expanded my experience by looking after dogs and cats. I consider time spent with animals to be a gift, and I make great efforts to ensure your animals can spend comfortable time with us.
There is a perfect dog park right near my house where we can take walks along the Rideau River and your dogs can run around off-leash and relieve stress. I truly treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to detail, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of cat behavior and my genuine love for feline companionship. I know that every cat has their own personality,some are playful and outgoing, while others prefer quiet observation—and I take the time to adjust my care to match their comfort level.

Hi ! My name is Marina. I just graduated from a bachelor's in communications in Montreal, and I'm currently staying in Ottawa, although I travel to Montreal often.
Since very young, I have always loved animals very dearly. 
I have 1 female cat who recently passed away, that my family and I had for about 15 years. We took her in as a pregnant stray, and adopted her and her 5 babies. 
I love to petsit, not only because it is something I truly enjoy, but also because I have a good amount of free time and I thought it would be a nice idea to help out pet owners !
For experience, I took care of 2 adult akitas for the past year, walking them as well as occasional petsitting for extended periods of time. I also have recently done a bit of cat petsitting (feeding, playing with them, etc). In the past, I've taken care of my family cat, as well as her 5 kittens on my own, which can be challenging. I have also cared for 2 huskies for a couple of days a few times.
I am constantly around animals in my day to day, when I go back home or through friends, so I feel very comfortable. I am of course always open to learn and personalize the care and routine based on the pet, because I know every animal is very different. 
Looking forward to working with you !


As a passionate dog lover, and owner my journey toward dog sitting stemmed from my deep appreciation for these loyal companions. Recognizing the joy that dogs bring to our lives, I decided to dedicate my time to their care and well-being. I have always found immense happiness in spending time with dogs, whether through playful walks, engaging playtime, or simply sitting with them to provide companionship. 
My motivation comes from a desire to offer pet owners peace of mind while they are away, knowing their furry friends are in a safe, loving environment. I understand the unique needs of each dog, and I am committed to providing personalized care, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished. My goal is to create a nurturing experience for dogs, combining fun and safety, while building trust with their owners.
As a dog owner for almost six years now, I have acquired a wealth of experience. I have also provided pet-sitting services for friends and family, which allowed me to create strong bonds with the dogs I cared for. During these assignments, I learned to adapt to different routines, dietary needs, and specific care instructions, ensuring each dog's comfort and happiness. Will only accept vaccinated dogs and no more than 24lbs.


Bonjour!  
Je m’appelle Anne Marie, j’ai 56 ans et je suis nouvellement à la retraite. Je suis une personne calme, attentionnée et j’adore les chiens et les chats.
J’habite dans un édifice qui accepte les animaux et j’ai également un parc tout près de chez moi, ce qui est idéal pour les promenades et permettre à votre compagnon de prendre un peu d’air et de se dégourdir les pattes. 
J’ai 11 ans d’expérience à m’occuper du chien de ma fille, un adorable Italian Greyhound, et je fais également du gardiennage de chiens dans mon édifice pour aider mes voisins 
Je souhaite offrir à votre chien un environnement calme, sécuritaire et rempli d’attention, où il pourra se sentir comme à la maison. Je prends plaisir à lui offrir des promenades, des moments de jeu, des câlins et surtout beaucoup d’affection. ️
Étant à la retraite, j’ai une belle disponibilité et je peux consacrer du temps et de l’attention à votre compagnon que ce soit pour quelques heures, toute la journée et pour la nuitée également. 
Je comprends aussi que chaque chien a ses petites habitudes et ses besoins particuliers, et je prendrai le temps de bien les connaître. Votre chien sera entre de bonnes mains et surtout, il sera chouchouté! 
Au plaisir de faire connaissance avec vous et votre compagnon!
Anne Marie 

I am a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also have a dog myself, so I truly understand how it feels to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make that experience stress-free for both you and your pet.My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, providing a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, rest time, and any special instructions.I love going outside to the park and taking dogs for enjoyable walks. Regular walks and outdoor time are important for their physical and mental well-being, and I make sure they get the exercise and attention they need.During boarding or daycare, pets are always supervised. I introduce new pets slowly and carefully. In case of emergencies, I act quickly and contact the owner right away.Your pet will be treated with genuine care and affection. 

Hello pet-owners! We are a young couple who loves dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. We also have taken care of cats, both in their own homes and our home.The reason we would like to do more dogsitting is because it turns out to go extremely well together with our dog. Even the more shy or dominant ones tend to lift up when being around her. She never causes any problems with other animals since she is small and rather submissive. Therefore we even see it as an advantage to take care of dogs together with our own one. Of course, in some cases this turns out to be impossible, in that case it is also possible to take care of your dog seperately (we're with two). Enough about our dog, let's say something about ourselves.Currently we work mostly from home and we expect that to stay like that the coming future. We have sufficient free time and therefore like to spend as much as possible time outside and go for walks.When inside, we enjoy the company of the animals and they can be guaranteed of fulltime attention during the whole day. We both grew up taking care of animals like cats, rabbits and mainly dogs. Especially dogs always know how to steal our hearts so dogsitting always stayed part of our lives. We have watched over very different kinds of dogs, from big labradors to small maltezers and everything in between. We like to take care of the big ones that want to run over the beach and explore the forest everyday but also won't get bored of the old ladies that prefer a small block around the corner.I think I made our love for animals quite clear, but feel free to reach out for any more questions, we're happy to answer!
