House Sitting Service | Trusted Care While You’re Away

What’s Included in Our House Sitting Visit

We customize every visit to your home’s needs, but here’s what most homeowners can expect:

• Security Sweeps: We check all doors, windows, and gates to keep your home safe.
• Mail & Parcel Management: Letters, newspapers, and packages? We bring them inside so they don’t sit on the porch.
• Home Maintenance: Water indoor and outdoor plants, and make sure systems like your HVAC are running smoothly.
• Insurance Documentation: Every visit comes with Sitter Diary Notes, proof of inspection for your insurance provider.
• Local Presence: Proudly serving Ottawa homeowners with trusted house sitting care since 2005.

When you’re away, Loving Paws & House Sitting steps in with professional house sitting services built on trust, consistency, and reliable care. Since 2005, we’ve been protecting homes and caring for pets across Ottawa, Hamilton, and Mississauga, helping families travel with confidence while everything at home stays exactly as it should.

Our experienced, background-checked, insured, and bonded sitters visit your home in person to perform full security inspections. Each visit includes full security checks of doors, windows, lights, and alarms, along with mail and package collection, plant watering, and light household tasks to keep your home secure, tidy, and comfortably lived-in.
What makes our service truly different is how seamlessly we combine house sitting with your pet’s daily routine. While caring for your home, our sitters also follow your pet’s familiar schedule, feeding times, walks, play sessions, companionship, and medication when needed. Your dog or cat stays relaxed in their own environment, and your home stays protected.

After every visit, you receive Sitter Diary Notes, giving you clear, documented proof that your home was checked, which is helpful for insurance requirements and complete transparency.
