Service Description
When they have to go, they have to go. We can help.
As a general rule, a puppy can hold it for as many hours as it is old in months, plus one, – so for a three-month-old pup, that’s four hours. That’s because pups have small bladders & bowels. Simply. a puppy has to be able to outside for a bathroom break every few hours during the day.
Service Overview
Most working clients with a new puppy, need our help.
The # of visits/day depends on the pup’s age & how long you’re at work.
Puppy Paws: 45-60-minutes: Popular + chores around the home.
Unsure what duration & frequency to choose? We can help.

"Loving Paws was recommended by a family member and surpassed our expectations! Sophie took great care of my two cats while we were away. She kept in touch with me to let me know my cats were happy and doing well. What impressed us the most was when Sophie brought a slow feeder and let us keep it because the cats ended up loving it! Truly a great service that genuinely cares for the animals they take care of. The prices of Loving Paws services is much more affordable than the prices of pet hotels around the city which was big plus! Highly recommend!"
"Loving Paws is a great service and I highly recommend them. Helen in Ottawa has watched over my two cats and if you can request her services specifically, I suggest you do. She provides excellent care, always lets me know the cats are okay, doesn't hesitate to ask questions if needed, and my cats are very comfortable around her (including my one cat who is not too keen on strangers). It's a relief to be able to go away and know that my cats are in good hands."
"I have benefited from Loving Paws services since 2012. It is so easy, as a returning customer, to book a cat sitter when I have travel plans. The cat sitters come and care for my cats, but they also play with them and look after the house. The regular visits ensure my house insurance stays valid and I come home to happy kitties. I have recommended Loving Paws to many friends and they have all had great experiences too. Thank goodness for a business like this!"
"From the get-go, working with Amy and her team was easy, clear and put our minds at ease. Communication with the sitter was awesome and she did such a fantastic job with our pets (a bird and gecko). When we returned, the pets were happy and relaxed and the diary notes were thorough to describe each visit. This was a fantastic experience and we are already looking to book for our next trip!"
"I have used Loving Paws for many years now and they are great. Better than others I tried before I found them. Their Pet Sitters really care and take great care of my cats. My current sitter is Nick and he goes above and beyond the call of duty. One of my cats passed this last November and over the Christmas holidays I am usually away and I was very worried about my other cat being alone. Nick was so good with her and me. He took the time to send me photos of Brianna to show me she was OK and he even did an extra visit just to make sure she was doing fine. You will not find that kind of understanding and caring somewhere else. Price is reasonable and service is great. Can't recommend them highly enough!!"
"We've used Loving Paws to look after our two cats many times. For a weekend or a multi-week trip, it was good to know the cats were getting excellent care. The peace of mind from the customizable levels of care was even more important when the older cat developed some health issues and needed pills twice a day. We also really liked the Ready-Key program."

WE WORK HARD TO SUPPORT OUR DOG WALKERS, AND PET & HOUSE SITTERS
Work with us as one of our sub-contractors by driving to the homes of our clients to provide dog walking, pet sitting, medical care, and house sitting services.
The amount of work depends on the number of requests we receive from clients for our services, and that number keeps on growing as more and more pet parents and home owners learn of our services.
We diligently maintain our website and routinely work to ensure strong Web Search Engine Optimization so that our website appears top-most on web pages for search results.
Requests for our services come from clients who come to our website and submit quote or reservation requests. We then assign the work directly to you.
All work is paid, and we pay one of the pet care industry’s best rates for walking dogs, pet sitting, and house sitting.
No purchase of any “kit” is required to work for us. We do not charge any fee as a condition of working with us. We are not a pyramid-type organization.
There is much flexibility in terms of where, when, and how work is done, as long as the needs of our clients and their pets are met, and as long as what is paid for is done (we guarantee the duration of each visit, and that the visit will take place). Most clients are easy going about the services they need. Some clients are more specific; e.g. if their pet needs medication.
Aside from a computer with internet access, cell phone, and a vehicle that you need to work with us, we provide everything else you need to do the work, and for free: our admin software tool, access to our database, personalized email address, your insurance coverage and bonding, all the necessary printed materials, a professional binder for all documents, 4 handbooks covering medical care, procedures, and policies topics, and brochures/posters for networking.
We generally sponsor one major pet-related event annually; e.g. Pet Expo, and expect you will attend with us.
We put you in touch with new clients after they accept our quotes or existing clients after they reserve our services. Essentially, we pre-screen each assignment request to ensure it is valid before asking you to decide whether or not you want to take it on.
You can reduce your taxable income on your annual income tax filing with the Canada Revenue Agency by claiming eligible expenses for working as a sub-contractor, for using space where you live for office / admin work, and for using your vehicle for work.
We provide service every day of the year, especially on weekends and holidays when people tend to go away, and we pay 1.5X the normal rate for work done on a holiday.
You will interact with kind, animal-loving people who will appreciate and welcome the services you will provide, and who will trust you with their homes, belongings and their living pet(s).
You will have a territory and only be expected to drive to the homes of clients who live within typically 15-km from your home. We pay extra if you need to drive further (unless you agree to a larger territory when you join our team).
Walking dogs leads to getting exercise and the fresh are is as good for you as it is for the dogs; count on your health improving and not being stuck in a windowless office cubicle.
You will be pleasantly greeted at front doors by many pets that will be happy to see you and to also give you lots of unconditional love, affection and attention in return for just enough simple food and water, and all the play time and TLC you can afford.
You will experience improvements to your stress levels … numerous studies show that spending time with animals is relaxing and beneficial to human health.
You will learn about pet health and what it takes to become one of the region’s most respected, professional pet sitters.
You will have the opportunity to grow with us … we are increasingly called upon for our dog walking, pet sitting, medical care, and house sitting services. We provided our services to thousands of clients in the greater Ottawa region since 2005 and in Mississauga since 2012. Our goal is to reach more and more communities as we move forward.
We work on a very personalized level and are always available. We answer questions and solve problems quickly, and we invite suggestions for change and improvement regularly.
We have clear and concise policies and procedures so you will never have to guess about what you should or should not do.
We provide 4 detailed Orientation, Emergency, Procedures, and Policies Handbooks. Job shadowing and we continues with on-the-job coaching and accessibility.
We provide continuing education opportunities relating to all areas of the pet care industry.
If you love interacting with and giving care to animals … we and our clients … and their pets … can’t wait to hear from you.
