Helen & Daniel

Hi, we are Daniel and Helen Wright….

We joined the Loving Paws and House Sitting team November of 2022.

A bit about us!

Daniel grew up on a farm in England with horses, cows, goats, pigs, hens, dogs, cats, geese and ducks!

He would ride bareback…. and still does!

Helen grew up in the village down below.

I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, budgies and even a ferret which I used to take out for a walk on a leash…. I had my picture in the local paper 🙂

So as you can see, we truly love being around animals of all sorts.

Both of us have very relaxed personalities around animals of all kinds. This, in turn, gives them a sense of security and peacefulness, which helps them to be relaxed around us.

We create a warm and safe environment where they feel content.

Both of us have a deep sense of duty to provide the best care possible for your pet whilst in our care.

John

Hello, my name is John. I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in March 2007.

I have been an animal lover from an early age, and have had numerous pets. My animals included the very small, like gerbils and hamsters, to the usual childhood favourites, like cats and dogs. When I was a teenager, I had more exotic pets such as lizards, snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas. You can say I love anything that walks, crawls, or slithers.

I have adopted two cats named Cedar and Cobalt from the Ottawa Humane Society. My cats are both unique in their own ways. Cobalt is the “social butterfly” who will greet all strangers into the house by approaching them, and falling to his side and at their feet so they can tickle him. Cedar, on the other hand, is the “nervous cat” who cannot run away fast enough to hide until strangers have left. He will “check them out” when he doesn’t think they know he’s there, but will eventually warm up to them. I have had them since 2004 and, before then, forgot how much I enjoyed having pets in my life. It’s like having your own personal greeters to welcome you home!

I spent a lot of time indoors and outdoors with renovations to my home, and landscaping my yard. It’s rewarding to see all the projects one has completed and being able to enjoy the results.

I worked in the technical industry for a number of years at JDS Uniphase until the huge layoffs occurred at the company. That’s when I decided to go back to school at Algonquin College and obtain my Veterinary Assistant Certificate. With my background and knowledge caring for various animals, I know that my experience will be an asset to any pet's needs. Rest assured that I will care for your pet(s) as though they were my own!

I feel honoured to be on the Loving Paws & House Sitting team and I look forward to meeting you, and to caring for your pet(s).

Jenn

Hi! My name is Jenn. I joined the Loving Paws and House-Sitting team in March 2022.

I live in Orléans with my 13-year-old daughter, who is also a huge animal lover! We currently care for an adopted 8-year-old brown tabby named Bruce (Banner/The Hulk, Bruce found us actually), an adopted 3-year-old black cat named Harley (Quinn) and an 8-year-old rabbit named Jack (Jackie). We've also had other pets who still hold a huge place in our hearts and thoughts (Charlie, The Baby, Frankie and Honey).

I am a genuine animal lover and have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I am very trustworthy, loyal, reliable, conscientious and friendly. I've cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, birds (finch and budgie), hamsters, gerbils, mice and fish. I am comfortable taking care of any animal. I'm very attentive to their needs and comfort levels. I also have experience with administering medications (oral and subcutaneous insulin injections). 

I have volunteered at a local animal sanctuary and love it. Animal rights is something that is very important to me. I love spending time in nature and taking pictures, I hope to take and share some great photos of your pet(s) with you! 

Please rest assured that your pet's well-being and happiness will be my entire focus. I will take competent care of your pet, with as much love and attention as they desire. I very much look forward to getting to know and caring for your beloved pet(s).

Julie

Hi there, my name is Julie and I joined the loving paws family in Nov 2019.

 As far back as I can remember I always had a dog.  Growing up, more pets were added to the family as I started asking for gerbils and hamsters.   If it would’ve been up to me, the house would have been full of pets.

 I always knew I wanted to work with animals.  The unconditional love they give us is priceless.  After high school I went straight into an animal health technician program and I have worked at various animal hospitals as a veterinary technician ever since.

 I live in Barrhaven with my family.  We have a dog named Jack.  He is a dachshund cross.  I have done lots of training with him and I really enjoy using my training skills on other people’s pets.  It’s quite rewarding!

 I know how hard it can be to leave your best friends when you’re out of town or on holiday, but rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own.

Peggy

Hello, my name is Peggy and I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in April of 2019.

Animals have always been a really important part of my life. These days, I am surrounded (literally) by three furry characters -- left to right here, Hunter (hiding!), Bugsy, and Molly. They bring joy, laughter, and a constant supply of love to my husband and me as we all move through life together. 

As your pet sitter, I will bring a wealth of love and experience with me. I'm both affectionate and responsible. I am used to administering medications. And I also realize that any animal can have an "accident", and that calm reassurance and a little cleanup will always save the day. Your pets' well-being and happiness will be my entire focus. 

I also understand how hard it can be to have to rely on someone else to help care for your pets. I've been there as well. So you can rest assured that I will give your fur-babies the best care possible. 

I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Johanna

Hello my name is Johanna and I joined the great team of Loving Paws & House Sitting in May 2015.

I have dedicated my life to caring for animals big and small.

At a young age I realized I wanted to care for animals, so I became a Veterinarian Technician. I have been working as a veterinarian technician now for several years in Toronto and now in Ottawa.

I live in Kemptville with my husband and 2 children and they also share my passion for animals; we have 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 fish and 1 breaded dragon and a few chickens that make up our family.

I know how important our pets are to us and part of the family. I live and see it every day. My years working as a veterinarian technician has given me a wealth of knowledge and experience in caring for pets, from the happy go lucky puppy and kitten, to the senior dog and cat. It has also given me the knowledge and experience to provide pets with nursing care when needed.

I know how hard it can be to plan a vacation or to leave on business, especially when it means leaving your fur baby behind, but rest assured that you can count on me to take the utmost care of your beloved pet.

Kim

Hello, my name is Kim and I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in September 2020. I live in Carp, and so can serve you here in West Carleton and nearby areas, including Kanata and Stittsville.

I am the classic ‘client–turned–staff’ scenario! Having been a client of Loving Paws & House Sitting for many years, I was so impressed with the quality service and dedication, that I joined the team when I retired from public service in 2020.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have cats of my own, from childhood right up to present day; from kittens to seniors, indoor and outdoor cats, from shy loners who tolerate minimal handling to exuberant extroverts who parkour using your body and furniture throughout the house!

I have lovingly supported cats through illness, including giving medication (by pill and needle) and subcutaneous fluids. I have been lucky enough to have several super senior cats, living into their early twenties.

I was also a foster cat-parent with the Ottawa Humane Society which gave me some great experiences and memories with pregnant cats, and new cat moms and kittens.

I’m looking forward to meeting your cat-sitting needs, and I am learning how to provide loving care to our other feathered, furred and finned companions, such as bunnies, turtles and birds.

I personally know what it is like to leave your pet behind with a sitter, and so rest assured I provide the kind of loving TLC that I would want for my own fur family. I am reliable, gentle, and conscientious; know that your beloved pets and house are in good hands with me.

Caroline

Hello! My name is Caroline and have been with Loving Paws and House Sitting since August 2020. I am extremely exciting to be part of this amazing team.

I have always loved animals. As a child, I was very fortunate to have a grandfather who was a farm veterinarian and was very happy that I would tag along during my summer vacations. This made me fall in love with every type of farm and domestic animals from cows to pigs and chickens, horses, goats, sheep, dogs and cats and everything in between.

Between my roommate and I, my home is blessed with 2 dogs, border collie cross and a Pitbull, 2 cats, both rescues off the streets, 3 rescued budgies and a tank full of fish and snails. Although my house is full of animals, I’m always looking to make new fur friends and therefore I am very pleased with a pet sitting job.

I am loyal, trustworthy, and experienced in animal care. I understand what it’s like to have to be away from your pets and so, I am happy to work with you to make this the best experience possible for you and your fur babies regardless if your pet is diabetic, in need of basic medical attention, reactive in certain settings (my previous Rottweiler was animal reactive and do understand these issues) or just looking for cuddles or a good walk.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Stephanie

Hello, my name is Stephanie. I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in October 2019. I have been a client for a couple years and I’m excited to be a part of this wonderful team. 

Animals are my life! Growing up, I always had a pet at home; mostly cats and dogs. Fortunately my parents shared my love and passion as I would come home with stray cats or dogs. We never turned down an animal which means I adopted many animals, too many to count, for which I made sure they were apart of a loving and caring home. 

In 2015 I decided to foster for a local rescue, Bullies in Need. It has given me so much joy helping out dogs in need and being their voice. Because of that, I’ve fallen more in love with this breed. I have a bully mix named Tyson, who is 4 and a Border collie mix named Seeka, who is 10. I can’t forget my cat Josie who is 14 years young! 

My years working as a veterinary technician has given me experience and knowledge in caring for your pets. Because of my background I was able to care for one of my cats who was diabetic, who lived to be 18 years old, my special needs dog with anxiety and a wealth of health issues and many reactive dogs. I have a passion for learning and understanding different types of animals. 

I look forward in meeting you and caring for your four legged friend.

Sabrina Farmer

Hello, my name is Sabrina, and I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in October 2019.

I love animals and am grateful to have been around them my whole life. I’ve had a variety of experience caring for all types of pets, from dogs and cats, to hermit crabs and chickens, and everything in between! I grew up as an equestrian and spent as much time as possible at the barn hanging out with the horses. Additionally, I used to volunteer with the Ottawa Humane Society as a dog walker. I have a 5 year old Cane Corso named Kona who is a special girl with an amazing spirit. My background is in social work and I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kona as a therapy dog throughout my career to enhance my work with clients. Sharing Kona’s gifts with others has been a rewarding experience for both of us. Spending time in nature and walking some of our favourite trails are just some of the ways Kona and I like to spend our time.

The care of your fur babies and your home is vitally important. You shouldn’t have to worry when you’re away and feel confident that your pets are exceptionally cared for in your absence. I know from experience how hard it can be to find people you can rely on to provide the same level of attention and care that you would. As such, you can feel confident that I will give your fur babies and your home the absolute best care possible, as if they were my own!

Hello, my name is Afton. I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting team in September 2019. I reside in Kanata Ontario & I aim to service mainly this area. I offer in home dog boarding services.

Some points important to know about me is that dogs that are normally uncomfortable staying anywhere else without their owners have been comfortable with me. Second, I’m extra cautious about safety. I also love to exercise & therefore your dogs will receive ample walks while in my care.

I genuinely love animals & I help raise funds for the humane society. I try to live a vegan & cruelty free lifestyle. I pick up strays & bring them to safe havens. I try to save wild animals when in need. I have repeat business. I've owned animals for 38 years (puppies, youthful, & or senior dogs, & a cat) ..I’ve learned a thing or two about them.

All independent contractors working with loving paws have been referenced & criminal record checked, it helps bring peace of mind when searching for care for your pet.

I’d be happy to schedule a meet & greet with you!

Sophie B.

Hiya! My name is Sophie and I joined the Loving Paws & House Sitting family in Autumn 2020.

I have had dogs, cats, birds and fish! I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years and would love to put your mind at ease if you have a family pet that requires medical attention.

I share my home with my fiancé Lorne, but we are empty nesters when it comes to furry family members. We sadly had to say goodbye to our wonderful 15 year old cat, Guillaume. 

Guillaume was my second cat with hyperthyroidism and that was the reason I adopted him. When he was 11 years old, he was going to be euthanized due to his treatable disease. Since I had previously lost my first cat 6 months prior, who was also hyperthyroid and asthmatic, I couldn't resist the head-butting love from Guillaume. We faced a few challenges with him being a 'selective' eater, which kept me on my toes of ensuring that he received his medication.

This new chapter in my life is very exciting, and I thank you in advance, for entrusting me in the care of your beloved pet(s).

Francois Dumont

Hi my name is François.

I joined Loving Paws in February 2023, after retiring as a school
principal for 15 years and as an educator for over 30 years.

I have been living in Orleans for 26 years and we are all pet lovers in our household. We enjoy looking after our beautiful Maggie, a 10 years old German mix.

I have always been very caring for all animals, dating back from my childhood on the dairy farm. Pets, especially cats and dogs, have always been part of my life. I was able to teach my Maggie, a 50 lbs dog, to become a lap dog and get more cuddles!

I would be happy to provide your pets with all the caring, loving, walking and attention that they deserve. 

I offer bilingual services, to you and your furry companion!

I look forward to looking after your pet, and treat them like they are mine!
