“Sabrina was friendly and responsive to any questions, sent many pics and positive feedback about my dog. She even washed her bedsheets. Cobi had a small bloody swelling on his left side that I think is a tick bite. I should have asked her to check often for ticks,as they are becoming more common every year. We will know for next time.”
About: I've been pet sitting for 10+ years and would love to make sure your fur baby is happy and cared for while you're away. I have experience as a foster volunteer for the Ottawa Humane Society, and have taken a Pet First Aid course at Algonquin College so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I provide peace of mind with updates and photos of your little ones so you can focus on your trip. Both my pets Chloe 🐈⬛️ and Bobby 🐕 have crossed the rainbow bridge and while I'm not ready to take in a new family member I would love to care for yours. Visits are for about 30 mins and include feeding, fresh water, litter box, playtime with toys, and pets or cuddles if welcome. If your pet is shy or fearful I'll patiently aim to earn their trust on their terms, giving them a much space as they need. I also offer house sitting, and can care for your pets from the comfort of "their" home! If I can assist you with watering plants or collecting your mail I'd be happy to take care of that as well, just let me know when booking. I live in the west end of Ottawa and own a car so I can visit your home in and around the Ottawa area. I would be happy to set up a meet and greet to answer any questions you may have, so don't hesitate to reach out to see if I'm a good fit! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. My schedule is flexible, which means I can easily cater to your pet's needs without rushing. Your pet gets the full attention they deserve. I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible so there's minimal disruption while you're away. I spend real time with each pet, not just a quick stop in. I include playtime, cuddles (if welcome) and patience with shy or nervous pets to earn their trust on their terms. I know from experience that you can miss your fur baby while you're away. I keep you connected with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is safe and happy.
“Katryna did a fantastic job housesitting my dog Bailey for 4 days. She communicated well and provided daily updates and pictures and went above and beyond to keep Bailey on her regular schedule. It was such a relief to know Bailey was in such good hands with Katryna and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. I came home to a happy pup and a clean home.”
“Hayley is wonderful. . She takes excellent care and keeps you informed . The house is like she was never here when you get back. I feel very comfortable knowing Hayley is looking after Amore”
“Cindy was amazing with our small dog and 2 cats. Very responsive, relaxed, caring and attentive throughout the stay. We had never done this before and 3 is a handful but she made it all so easy. Her experience shines through and we were re-assured with daily updates and pictures. We highly recommend Cindy and will book again!”
“We were gone for 6 days and left Ruby in Celia's care in our home. We were given updates throughout each day and pictures. Ruby was well loved and our home was just as we left it. Thanks so very much Celia! We so appreciate you ❤”
“Johanne has a beautiful calm energy. My complicated Mr Squish sat with her on the first visit which says alot about her character. We look forward to her next stay which is already booked. Merci !!”
“Sarah was fantastic!! She showed up early, was super communicative, and the pups loved her instantly. We felt super comfortable and would absolutely have her back & recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of dogs on multiple occasions, both one and two dogs at a time. I loved going on walks with them, (even during Canadian winter temps!), and playing together at home and the dog park was lots of fun! I have spent much time around the dogs of my friends and family members and would love to spend time taking care of your small or medium sized pup. I am comfortable with feeding, walking and any other dog care chores required for the well-being of your doggie! I currently work in a casual position at the hospital, and therefore have several days off throughout the week where I would be able to spend entire days with your dog or cat! On days that I do work, I am happy to visit/live-in with your pet(s) outside of my work hours. My schedule is flexible however, so please let me know what your preferences are. When I have cared for pets in the past, the owners have always provided me with anything I need for the dogs/cats, including food, toys, leashes, doggie bags, litterbox supplies, and of course, treats. I feel comfortable caring for your pets using anything they are familiar with on a normal basis so that it does not interrupt their routine too much. I also like to keep in touch with the owners throughout my time taking care of their pets, sending pictures and updates whenever possible.
“This was our first time using Rover. Lorraine was pleasant and very communicative. This was our first time we have left our cat with anyone and we felt comfortable leaving him with her. He seemed to enjoy her company as he snuggled up with her. When we arrived home Lorraine had washed the linens, ran the dishwasher and ensured the house was clean and tidy. We very much appreciated her spending time with our cat and taking care of our house while we were away. We are hoping to book with her again.”
“River took such great care of our 4 pets and home while we were away. River sent beautiful pictures of our pets and we could tell that they all looked so happy and well cared for 🩵🩵 River was accommodating for our dogs and brought them to their favourite parks and gave them both some grooming love too! I hope to be able to book you every time we go away!! Thank you so much.”
“Sarah took excellent care of Louie. She gave me daily updates of how Louie was doing with photos and video while I was away. Louie loved his time with Piper. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Louie was in wonderful care. She is very responsive and always prompt to respond, which also put me at ease. Sarah left the house exactly how we left it. I would definitely rebook Sarah!”
“I was more than pleased at how thorough and helpful Pratik and his wife were during our 21 day absence from home. He adjusted to each of our two dogs' personalities and sent pictures of them to us. The house was left in excellent condition, clean and organized. Pratik kept in regular communication with us so we never had any worries. I have no hesitation in recommending Pratik for any house sitting assignment.”
“We’re so happy with Jennifer with the way she took care of Bella for two weeks. She exhibited compassion and empathy with our fourteen year old that had some special needs. With her attention to detail, we highly recommend Jennifer.”
“Vibhu came to spend the day with our 10 week old puppy at our place. He and his wife were amazing. We felt completely comfortable having them watch Sully. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Sindokht was fantastic with Poppy! She sent lots a great updates and played all of Poppy favourite games with her. She was responsive, responsible and took great care of the house as well. We’d definitely have her come back for house sitting again!”
“Jazzlyn was friendly during the meet and greet and made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was good at communicating and sent daily photos while I was away. I would consider booking with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bells Corners
Tamara was so wonderful with our three male, Siamese cats that I wish we had more places to go so she could come hang out with them—it was almost like they spent a weekend with their favourite aunt doing all their favourite things. To be honest, we feel that the star-rating review system doesn't offer a public-facing feedback scale that captures our experience working with Tamara—so, I have created my own. FUR BABY UPDATE QUALITY: ★★★★★ SIAMESE CAT EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ): ★★★★★ SIAMESE CAT PARENT EQ: ★★★★★ HOUSE CLEANLINESS: ★★★★★ PET PHOTOGRAPHY: ★★★★★ STICKER & EMOJI CREATIVITY AND ARTISTRY: ★★★★★ TOLERANCE FOR BOY-CAT TOMFOOLERY: ★★★★★ PURE NICENESS: ★★★★★
Lori took such good care of our 4 month old puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time, and Lori made me feel so comfortable. She sent so many updates with lots of pictures. We came home to a very happy puppy and a clean home. Lori is also extremely friendly. I highly recommend Lori for anyone needing house sitting 😊
I was away for 9 days and I felt at ease knowing my dog Jack was in great hands with Alyssa. She kept me up to date with how Jack was doing, walked him, and she loved the cuddles as I can tell from the pics she sent me. Alyssa stayed in my home during that time and it was well taken care of until I got home. I would definitely have Alyssa back to take care of Jack and highly recommend her to anyone for sure.
This was Megan’s second time staying with Lenny, and we couldn’t be happier. Lenny really likes her, and it was such a relief knowing he was at home with someone he was comfortable with. We came home to a happy Lenny and everything was exactly as we left it. We’d gladly have Megan back again and would highly recommend her! 🐾☺️
Victoria looked after our cat and dog will we were away for a 2-week trip. We received almost daily photos and updates of what our two fur children were doing which we loved receiving. We will definitely ask her to watch our babies again. She is trust-worthy and caring. We could not have found anyone better!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bells Corners maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bells Corners walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Bells Corners 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
