“Kimberley was amazing with my dog! I loved how she just fit him in with her life during the overnight stay. I know he was well cared for and pampered. I highly recommend Kimberley.”

About: I’ve been house sitting since I was 16 and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years; from dogs and cats to fish and turtles. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I work part-time in Carleton Place, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I can easily travel throughout Carleton Place, Stittsville, Kanata, and the surrounding area. I’m someone who genuinely respects other people’s homes. I’ll treat your pets like my own, keep your home clean and cared for, and always leave it the way I’d hope someone would leave mine. Count on me for long walks, playtime, belly rubs, keeping up with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time in Carleton Place, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care, and I’m happy to help with planned trips, regular visits, or last-minute bookings whenever I’m available. I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, give your pets lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep it clean, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands. I have a dog-friendly vehicle and would be happy to take your pup on little adventures with your permission! This could include a trip to the Starbucks drive-thru for a Puppuccino, a visit to a local park, or a doggy playdate if your dog enjoys socializing. Every outing is tailored to your dog’s personality and comfort level. Adventure add-ons are available for an additional charge.
“Kirstin and Justin really love dogs! It was so nice to have them walk my dogs for me. They sent pictures of the dogs enjoying the walks. Kirstin and Justin are both very friendly and understanding about my hyper, jumpy lab. They have lots of experience with handling dogs and it was so nice to have their help.”

“Kaela loves dogs! You could tell and dogs love her too. I had no worries eject Kaela was walking Tuck! She took pictures and provided a log of Tuckers walk. All this in just 30 minutes. Fantastic. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Kaela!”

About: I have had dogs for many years. Now that I am retired I am looking to giving back and helping other pet owners. I know that time is limited and sometimes you just need some help. Given my years of experience and my love of dogs, helping dog owners seemed the natural fit. It is a win/win....you get some much needed help and I get to enjoy being with your canine friend! I walk everyday as part of my active lifestyle and love to meet and greet dogs along the way. Seems like the perfect fit to invite your dog along for a scenic walk around the area. I love a brisk walk for my own health benefits and I know from past experience that my dogs always benefited from the same. Whether it was a better sleep or better appetite or being better behaved and ultimately more healthy, a good walk was the answer. I know from being busy in the past, I wasn't always able to get out regularly with my furry friends. If that is you, then that is where I come in to help and keep those walks regular.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior animals. I’ve owned and cared for dogs, bunnies, chickens, and geese, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’ve also worked alongside dog trainers with my own dogs, which has helped me learn more about handling, behaviour, and building trust with animals. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work part-time at Roots, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. I’m reliable with routines and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to keep them comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and any other care they’re used to. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and focused on making your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
About: Hi! I’m Adrienne. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether that’s going for long walks, providing companionship, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently own two amazing dogs - a 9-year-old German Shepherd and a 4-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix - so I’m very familiar with caring for large, active breeds and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I’m an active, reliable, and organized person who loves spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighbourhood strolls, longer walks on local trails, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’d be happy to help. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for both dogs and cats, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work for myself in Almonte so my schedule can (sometimes) be flexible! I work Tuesday - Saturday primarily and my days off are Sundays & Mondays. Fenced yard, non fenced yard, near water, crate trained, not crate trained, dog parks, walking in group, walking alone….. I’m confident in whatever makes your pet the most comfortable and happy.
About: I have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. Im available friday after 12m to Sunday, I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in a large apartment with plenty of open space, around 50 square meters available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.
“I’m so grateful for Jocelyn’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate us on short notice. Timon had a wonderful time on his walk and came back happy and well-exercised.”

About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
About: Long before petsitting became a commoditized business, Debbie Ozarko was on the Ottawa scene bringing joy to the lives of dogs and their people with her dog walking service, "We Take the Dogs Out" in 2000. This eventually morphed into, "It’s a Ruff Life Doggie Daycare" which thrived until her move to the British Columbia coast in 2013. Her love for such beautiful intimacy with animals has only deepened over time, and with her return to the Ottawa area she is eager to offer her exceptional services once again. Debbie is also a long-time volunteer with the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and the IFAW Northern Dogs Project. Animals truly are her life. Debbie brings it back to what is most meaningful for all: respect, integrity and generosity of spirit—for you, and for your furry, fuzzy and feathered animal companions. Animals are my life! It doesn't matter if they are residents are not, they are all treated with love, kindness, respect, and compassion. My schedule is constructed around their needs first. I have access to several quiet areas where field, forest and streams abound for off-leash romps. If dogs are better with on-leash walks, I'm happy to take them to green spaces where they have access to lots of sniffing to satiate that deep primal canine need. I also provide healthy, grain-free treats...just because. Of course, I offer only these with your approval beforehand.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Ashton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ashton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
