About: We're in the process of opening a kennel on our 20+ acre homestead, until then, we're here on Rover! Let us give your pets an enriching experience while you're away, and you peace of mind that they are in not one but two sets of good hands. Our dog Styx loves all pets, big and small, but we also have experience and infrastructure for some personal space if your pet takes a little longer to warm up or has special needs. We are currently building a kennel on our wooded retreat, and in the meantime, our home is open! We are home full-time and spend our days outside tending to the property, bringing your pets along, with lots of water and indoor breaks. We have a fenced yard and the house is able to be segmented off depending on the needs (puppy pen, cat area with dogs, cat area dog free, day crated, whatever your comfort is.

About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

“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 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 loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.

“Johanne was beyond amazing with my dogs. She was always on time, kept up communication, got some fantastic photos and kept us updated about both our dogs. I was worried at first as one of my dogs is a muscular puller and thought for sure that it would be a challenge but not at all. She handled both dogs perfectly and I am pretty sure she taught them to be bilingual as well. 10/10 she will be my number one choice and the only person I will recommend to others. I can not express how happy we were with our experience. I am not sure if there are awards or 6 star status but If anyone from the Rover teams see this Johanne should be given elite status.”

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 cared for dogs with diabetes and epilepsy, working dogs (boxer, gsp, Aussie) as well as smaller bichons and frenchies. I’m between dogs personally and ready to care for your fur baby. Recently retired and flexible in my routines both day and night. I’ve been travelling and dog sitting along the way. Will get 10,000 daily steps in with or without a leashed friend. Can do off leash playtime once I’m assured of your pet’s recall skills. I have a fenced yard and a 5km paved path network at my disposal for care at my home. I would follow your routines at your home.

About: I love love cats and dogs!! I sadly have not had the life yet to be able to own my own yet, but I am always the friend who is volunteering to take care of my friends’ pets!! I am excited and enthusiastic when my friends now ask me because they know I will say yes and try to make it happen. I work during the day a lot but am flexible with scheduling. So I am able to between my 2 shifts do pet care as well and I am always free in the late evenings. I also am a morning person, so I am also happy to feed and walk your pay before the day begins. I am always aware of where the pets are and pay attention to their behaviours and their body language. I keep an eye on them and follow them to see what they are up to and if they are the type to love attention I will provide them with it with snuggles or petting

About: Je m'occupe de chiens depuis mes 11 ans, je vis en ce moment avec un chiwawa de 11 ans et un chiot Pitsky (mix de pitbull et de husky) de 13 semaines. Je travaille en ce moment a temps partiel et en vu des vacances, j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour garder vos animaux. De plus, je suis étudiant au cégep donc j'ai des vacances plus longues. Je vais garder vos animaux selon vos critères et vos demandes. Par exemple le nombre de marches voulu, les besoins de nourriture, le type d'environnement, etc.

About: My name is David-Alexander. I am available to travel with my vehicle throughout the Gatineau and Ottawa area. I am currently available at any time, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to care for your pets either in your home or mine. I have a 11-year-old female dog named Kali. ALL PETS ARE WELCOME! Kali was aggressive for years I have experience with temperament Coming from a family that has always had pets, I have been passionate about animal care my entire life. I have owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and would be happy to care for yours as if they were my own. Why choose me? I understand how important it is to know that your furry family member is being left in a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment. I will make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, well-fed, and loved while you are away. Whether they need supervision, companionship, exercise, or simply someone to keep them company, I am happy to help. I would be happy to send you photos and updates of your pets while I am caring for them I can provide two one-hour walks each day for dogs who require lots of exercise. for temperamental dogs we must do a together session so they learn to get to know me I am also available for home visits where I can: Feed your pets Take them outside for bathroom breaks Walk and exercise them Give them affection and companionship Administer basic care according to your instructions My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so that you can have peace of mind while you're away from your pets. I work from home and look for some companionship. hike and walk a lot. I love audiobooks, and I hate sitting still if you have a high-energy dog. Perfect. If your dog is old and slow. Awesome just means I get to the end of my book faster. I also had a rescue that needed a lot of training and an alpha male to make her feel protected and safe. It took years to get her to walk by people, dogs, and children. I still cry to this day thinking about where we started and how it ended. I think about all the times she looked up at me for reassurance. I miss her so much. Life is too short for animals; they need loving walks and belly rubs. My roommate has a mini dog. Our yard is large and fenced in. I'm always home or hiking, so your dogs would get a lot of walks and hikes in Gatineau Park. I also set goals for my dog; a newtrick a day keeps the doctor away.

About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.
