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 Old Chelsea 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 Old Chelsea 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 Old Chelsea 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.

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.

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!




Hi! 
I’m a student who recently moved away from home and really miss being around animals. I grew up with a super energetic Weimaraner, Luna️ We love going on long walks, hikes, and exploring outdoors together. I also have a cat, Moose, back at my family home!
I’d love to help out by walking your dog or looking after your pet when you need. I’m reliable, friendly, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I only take vaccinated pets into my home to keep everyone safe. 
Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

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!


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 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?


Animal Care Experience

(Dogs, cats, kittens, rabbits &amp; birds)

My love for animals began early. Growing up, my neighborhood best friend and I spent our childhood rescuing and caring for animals of all kinds — injured birds we rehabilitated and released, indoor and outdoor rabbits we lovingly raised (including hand-feeding orphaned newborns), and multiple litters of kittens from a local street cat. We found safe homes whenever possible and worked with humane organizations when needed.

As a teen and young adult, I regularly walked neighbors’ dogs (despite not having one of my own) and later house-sat for friends and pet owners, caring for their dogs, cats, and homes on countless occasions.

  

Foster Volunteer Experience

(Ottawa Humane Society – Dogs &amp; Cats)

For the past few years, I’ve volunteered as a foster parent with the Ottawa Humane Society, caring for dogs, puppies, cats, pregnant cats, and kittens for periods ranging from 2 - 8 weeks.

One of my most formative experiences was fostering&nbsp;eight dogs at once&nbsp;— seven energetic four-week-old puppies and their mother. When the mother developed mastitis and required emergency surgery, I managed her post-op care while carefully coordinating supervised bonding sessions with each puppy to protect her recovery. After that experience, caring for one dog feels wonderfully manageable 

I’ve also fostered a pregnant cat and assisted her during the live birth and early care of her five kittens for approx. 8 weeks, alongside several other unique and rewarding foster situations while also administrating medications and specialized care as needed.

  

Why I Do This (OHS &amp; Pawshake)

Volunteering and caring for animals and all living things has always been close to my heart — from animal care to building homes with Habitat for Humanity. After the pause brought on by COVID, I was encouraged to return to animal-focused volunteering. Later, while on a Habitat Global Village build in Brazil, a fellow volunteer introduced me to Pawshake — and it felt like a natural extension of what I already love doing.

This is not a side hustle or career for me — I care for animals&nbsp;because I genuinely enjoy their company, their personalities, and the joy of providing a calm, loving atmosphere.

Through OHS, I've also taken additional training:
- Shy/Fearful &amp; House Soiling Feline
- Orphan Kittens
- Don't Blame the Cat 
- Don't Blame the Dog

  

My Home &amp; Environment

I live in a quiet, peaceful two-floor townhome condo filled with sunlight and greenery — a calm, serene retreat for your animal. I currently have no pets.


  
    Close to parks, soccer field, and a forest path
  
  
    One-sided shared fenced backyard (rarely used)
  
  
    Second bedroom with a human bed for the animal and plenty of sun with access to a balcony during warmer months 
  
  
    Large dog bed in the living room near a gas fireplace
  
  
    A “pet-friendly” couch prepared just for them
  


Outdoor activity is balanced with rest, depending on your dog’s needs, desires, and energy level.

  

What You Can Expect


  
    Only&nbsp;one animal at a time&nbsp;(unless from the same household)
  
  
    Personalized, attentive care
  
  
    Dog Boarding: 3-5 walks daily (mix of long &amp; short walks) unless more or less desired
  
  
    Calm companionship and plenty of affection
  


I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and creating a relaxed, trusting bond.

  

Schedule &amp; Time at Home

Mon–Wed &amp; Friday:

  
    Office days with flexible hours
  
  
    Home for a 50 min. lunch break for a check-in, walk, and companionship 
  

Thursday:

  
    WFH most mornings, so the animal is with me until I leave before 1:00pm.
  

Weekdays:

  
    Short periods (approx. 3 hours) where your dog will be alone with potential full house access 
  
  
    Optional gated 2nd bedroom if preferred and pending behaviour (e.g. unexpected chewing upon arrival)
  

Evenings &amp; Weekends:

  
    Fully home and present - except to possibly step out occasionally if req'd (e.g. groceries)
  

Ideally, I like to spend&nbsp;30-60 minutes min. with a dog in particular (after a morning drop-off)&nbsp;to settle in together, set up any items from the pet owner (e.g. dog bed, food set up), review any instructions and observe behaviour before heading to work.

  

Expectations for Dogs

Dogs should be:

  
    House-trained
  
  
    Comfortable being alone for short periods
  
  
    Non-destructive (unless otherwise discussed)
  


You’re welcome to bring your dog’s bed, blanket, food, written care instructions, emergency contacts, toys, or any comfort items with your scent. 

  

Quality Over Quantity

I choose to only care for&nbsp;one animal at a time&nbsp;to ensure thoughtful, individualized attention and create a deeper bond throughout their stay. So, if you choose to select me again your animal is in a very familiar, loving, and comfortable back-up home. Exceptions are made only for multiple animals from the same household. Your animal can expect a warm welcome, personalized care, and a truly comfortable stay. I am attentive to individual needs - for example, if your pet is unsettled at night, I'll make sure they feel safe and supported, whether that means nearby companionship or adjusting sleeping arrangements for added comfort (e.g.. where we both sleep on a couch in the family room or by my bedside for added close proximity comfort).

I absolutely adore animals 🤍 With patience and love, I ensure your beloved pet will be happy, calm, and showered with affection, care, and warmth.
Me and my husband will be pleased to take care together of your furry, we have different work schedules, ensuring your furry friend will receive round-the-clock care, love, and attention from both of us.🫶🏼
You can trust us for a doggy day care or boarding services for as many days as you need, we assure that your furry will be the happiest while spending time with us 
I have over 15 years of experience with dogs. In my family home, we have four dogs and one cat, so I am very familiar with their needs. Over the years, I've learned how to make them feel at home and at ease, ensuring they are always comfortable and well-cared for️‍🩹
I know that safety is very important, therefore I consider myself very cautious, I love walking, strolling, observing landscapes and if accompanied by a furry friend even more.
Your pet's happiness matters. Share their needs, joys, and dislikes so we can provide personalized care filled with love and understanding. Together, we'll make them feel at home!&nbsp;
