Dog Walking Bells Corners

About: I've been working with dogs since I graduated from high school. I was a dog trainer not 4 years ago, and can help with any training that may be required/requested! I also have experience working in a shelter, so any trouble makers or anxious pups won't scare me away! I am currently on my summer break from university, which means I have lots of time to watch and play with your pet! I am offering to house sit for you at any time and for any length of time, or if you prefer drop in visits/walks around the neighborhood, I would love to help in any way I can. Any and all care I provide to your pet in your home is dictated and approved by you. I've worked with both dogs and cats who have moderate to severe dietary restrictions, as well as mobility issues, allowing for a more experienced sitter than others. They're safety and happiness is always my number one priority, and I will ensure they are given the best care available.

“Takes great care of my dog while walking him. Dependable and punctual. Would hire Becky again for future walks.”

About: Hi! My name is Karinne, but most people call me Kiwi (no, I am not from New Zealand!). I was born and raised in Ottawa, and now live in a house in Nepean with my partner and our 4-year old Miniature American Shepherd, Kali. We love being outside and being active, so your pet will get plenty of fresh air and exercise while being well-loved and well cared for. I started providing services on Rover in 2019 when we lived in an apartment building, but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, my public health nursing job kept me busy and working long hours, so I had to take a break from Rover. Then we bought a house and got a puppy, and now that we are settled into our home and routines, I am excited to be back on Rover to support others and their pets! I grew up with a love of animals and pets (I literally still have two bins full of stuffed animals that I collected as a child and pretended I owned all the pets in the world). Even though I wasn't allowed to have my own dog as a child, I have always been surrounded by friends' and family's dogs my entire life, and I've often taken care of their pets during their vacations as if they were my own. My partner and I bought our first house and our first dog in the same year, and we've loved every minute of it! I am a Public Health Nurse and work most days from home, so my availability works around those days in-office (i.e. I won't book any walks, visits, or day care on days I am in the office). For any dog boarding, my partner works fully remote at home, so there is always someone in the house with the dogs even if I have to go into the office. We go on 3 walks a day with our dog Kali, ranging from 20 to 45 minutes depending on the time of day and weather. If it is storming, we often do enrichment or training indoors instead. On weekends we try to do longer adventures like a hike in Gatineau Park or swimming in the river! During our daily walks, our dog Kali walks very well on a leash and doesn't pull (until we get close to the neighbourhood park!). She is excellent at walking with other dogs, and generally just ignores them while walking. If your dog prefers to walk alone, that is not a problem! I can accommodate and leave our dog with my partner. Our house is a split-level home with a fully fenced backyard. Dogs will always be supervised while playing in the yard. During the day, Kali has free-range of the entire house and is allowed on furniture, but we are flexible and can accommodate different rules to meet your dog's needs. We also have different areas of the house that can be closed off if the dogs need a break from each other. Kali is crate-trained; she sleeps in her crate at night and eats all her meals in her crate. If we are caring for your dog in our house, we would do our best to ensure there is always someone home and stick to your dog's routines as much as possible.

“Bonnie is kind and takes great care of Omsie! She's also very thoughtful and helps with little things like putting our recycling bins by the garage after the collection. :) Thank you, Bonnie!”

“Juan picks up my dog twice a week for trips to the dog park. He's always on time, communicates how the walk went, and is genuinely friendly and personable. My dog adores going with him, she gets so excited whenever he arrives, and I always know she's had a wonderful time because she comes home ready for a nap! I highly recommend Juan if you're looking for a regular dog walker”

“Joanna has been great to deal with. Very accommodating, excellent communication, and Hawk seems like he had a great time on the walk.”

About: Hi, I'm Hannah! I'm super passionate about animals, have had pets my whole life, and have been taking care of others' pets since the age of 13. I'm excited to provide dog walking, drop in visits, and dog and cat sitting in the Ottawa area! I have experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with special requirements, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! I love getting to meet new furry friends and give them the care and enrichment they deserve. Since I'm currently pursuing another degree fully-online, I have a very flexible schedule; I can plan my day around pet care appointments, and am more likely to be available for last-minute bookings. I hope you'll consider me to brighten your pet's day! I'm currently pursuing a distance studies (online) degree from Queen's, so I can do my work pretty much any time and anywhere, giving me a very flexible schedule! Whether it's walks or visits while you're away from your pet or more extended pet sitting, I'm happy to work my schedule around your needs. For at home visits, potty breaks, and pet sitting, if a yard is not fully fenced in I make sure I'm outside/ have eyes on your pet whenever they're out. I'm happy to accommodate any of your pet's training (tricks, commands, crate training, heeling while walking, etc.), although for walks I don't currently accommodate off-leash walking. I'm also experienced with senior dogs and dogs with special requirements, and am happy to accommodate different needs, as long as they are discussed beforehand! I'm also happy to provide "pupdates" on your pet during pet sitting, walks, or drop-ins if you wish!

“It’s always scary leaving your pets behind while on vacation and Celia was so kind, always sending pictures and updates and able to handle our big dog. Would definitely recommend her to others and would love to use her services again in the future!”

“Norma has been a god send! She has a lot of knowledge on training which is helping Bean improve. She takes her to public places to practice being calm. It helps so much having Norma supporting Bean’s training! Highly recommend!”

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and other kinds of pets. I currently have 3 cats and 1 guinea pig(closed caged).our dog sadly passed away at almost 12 a few years ago. I've helped many friends and family with pet care services for their dogs and cats while they are on vacation. I will be returning to college in the spring to become a veterinary Assistant. I know how to recognize changes in behavior or not feeling well. I love all animals like they are my own. I am currently unemployed and am looking to start my path in pet services part-time as I am becoming a veterinary assistant and must complete some online courses before hand. When caring for friends and family pets, I usually go to their house and do the feeding, letting dogs out or going for a walk, clean cat litters and ensure they have water. In my home my guinea pig is in a closed cage in a room that if I would need to lock up my cats for the day it would be okay. My cats are free in my house and we have multiple litter boxes and water bowls and fountain. We currently do not have a fenced yard but the fence will be going up this summer.

About: Whether it's a quick midday break or a longer adventure, I treat every dog like family and every walk like a special outing. With a background in nursing and a love for animals, I'm excited to offer dog walking services as a way to promote healthy lifestyles—for both pets and myself—while giving back locally I currently work on a casual schedule, which gives me flexible, open availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, early evening, and occasional weekend visits to fit your pet's routine I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes or outdoors, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I can also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Kaela was quick to respond to my request, she was also very friendly and prompt!(even though I needed her to walk Zeus at 5:30 am ?) I would highly recommend Kaela ?”

About: Dogs, cats, rabbits … I’ve cared for a variety of animals since I was young child. Mom of two kids who loves cuddles and going for walks. I have always had dogs and pets in my home, currently mom to two kids and one 11 year old cattle dog (think Bluey). Experience with puppies also! I am certified in first aid and CPR for your pets and have experience giving oral medication. Let me know if you have certain expectations for updates or pictures you would like to receive as I want to do whatever I can to help ease your mind while caring for your pet. I can help give your pet social interactions, walking for exercise or just extra cuddles while you're away. My schedule is flexible, if something you need isn’t listed (or availability) please message me as I can usually work something out. Daytime is my most available. As a mom of two kids, I always ensure safety is top priority for everyone. I will only walk animals on a leash to be safe and always check for ticks after coming back from walks. I have experience with medication for animals and CPR for animals.

“Jen was fantastic to deal with. Punctual, communicative and very interested in getting to know Harry before walking him. I could see the genuine concern that she takes with your dog and your dog's needs and wants. Highly recommended”

“Who is this angel that has come to save me in a pickle. I have ruptured my achilles and Kim showed up. She is on time, she understands tough working breeds, she is whimsical and diligent. I am very impressed. And my dog loved her the minute he met her which is rare. I almost don’t want to recommend her so I can keep her all to myself.”

Anne-Sophie L.

“Thanks for taking good care of Omsie!”

Joy J.

“Abigail was great and helped me out on very short notice. She took good care of Baker and followed all of my (very anxious) instructions. Definitely recommend”
