“Bonnie is the absolute best! She is so thoughtful and it’s clear that the happiness and comfort of the animals in her care is her highest priority! I highly recommend Bonnie”

“Joanna did a great job! She was on time each day, did everything we asked to keep our pups happy, and sent us adorable pics to show us how they were doing. Our pups missed us while we were gone, but not as much thanks to Joanna's great care. We'll ask her back again!”

“Xjandria provided punctual and consistent visits with Leo, our Bengal. She sent cute pictures, played, and spent quality time with him. Leo was very content upon our return home. We will definitely trust our sweet Leo, and our home, with her again 💕”

“Kovu had the best experience with Tristan! I would surely recommend. It was my first time using Rover but Tristan made it a very smooth and pleasant experience and my mind was at ease knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much Tristan! 😊”

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.

About: I am a huge animal lover and I have had small animals, cats and dogs my whole life. I love to be outdoors and get exercise. I currently have one dog and a busy enough life to not have more animals, but enough time to care or support other animals on and off with walks, care and bordering. I have the energy to run and/or walk with dogs in the nice trails or area around my home. I have a small off leash area up the road, quiet street and Bruce pit near by. I love cats but can't have them in the house so are happy to go to your home and look after yours. Happy to care for small animals as well. Happy to chat and see if I can be of service to you and your animal. *Dogs must be on a good flea and tick meds I am near woods.* It can be flexible and can change sometimes so I would keep my calendar up to date and communicate well with you :). Willing to chat about drop offs and picks up. When I care for someone’s animal i want them to feel relaxed and calm that there pet is safe, loved and considered. So I want to work with you so you feel like that to :). I will listen carefully to your needs, routines and your animals personality and work with you to provide the service that fits you and your pet.

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including my own very large rabbit! 🐰 I also have professional experience from previously working for a Kingston pet-sitting company. I am happy to give your cats oral/gel/cream medicines if you leave me instructions. One of my own cats has strict dietary needs, so I am no stranger to ensuring proper dietary restrictions are followed! Since I set my own hours at my other job, I can offer flexible weekday mid-day visits! For house sitting visits, I am happy to work with your pet's schedule. I treat every home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show my own. I’m careful to follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away! I would love if we could do a quick meet and greet before the first visit, so that I can meet your furry friend and we can work out house access/where things are in the house ahead of time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teen. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies, from walking them to feeding them, playing with them and giving them medication etc. I have also trained puppies and have a bit of experience with rescue dogs. Currently a stay at home wife/mom and have the time to take your fur babies for walks as well as play with them. We do have three children who can also give your pet some extra love and attention if they like but can also give them space. I have a fenced yard and a friendly fur baby of my own named Milo. He is a 2-year old golden doodle who loves making new friends. I can also crate your fur baby if that is what they are accustomed to at home. There are many dogs in our neighborhood so making friends on our walks is a normal occurrence.

“Kaela always goes above and beyond to ensure our kitty gets her pills. She even took out our recycling for us while we were gone, which was a pleasant surprise. She always ends her stay with a lovely polaroid of our kitty too. These small things make her the best pet sitter!”

About: I'm an avid daily walker with a genuine love for dogs. I owned and cared for my own dog for 11 years and I currently walk dogs part time. I'm experienced in senior dog care and administering medications. I understand the importance of patience, consistency and making every dog feel safe, comfy and loved. I work from home part time, so my flexible schedule lets me give pets steady attention throughout the day. Between my own daily walks and caring for animals at home, I can build reliable routines for your pets too. I prioritize safety, trust and comfort when caring for every pet. As a part time dog walker and a pet owner, I know how important regular exercise, consistent routines and attention are. I treat every animal with patience, kindness and respect, so they'll feel safe, happy and comfortable in their own home

About: I have been around animals, dogs specifically, since the day I was born. Being surrounded by all types of dogs ranging from Boston terriers to boxers so I have a wide range of knowledge when it comes to how to take care of many different sizes of dogs. I also used to foster dozens of dogs over multiple years. I no longer foster dogs but I had an absolute blast seeing so many different types of dogs and their unique personalities so I've definitely had my fair share of experience which helps me a lot with understanding and getting along with any type of dogs personality. I currently work 2 days a week (Tuesday and Thursday) so I have plenty of time on my hands to care and love for your pups! I do ask for a notice a week in advance so it's easier for me to work everything into my schedule. I have no issues taking pups for walks or just doing house visits making sure everything they need is there for them, whether that be letting them use the bathroom or anything else required for them to be happy when their owner returns home.

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle since 2012. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Sometimes our home has a caged bunny that gets along with other animals. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except maybe 1 bunny). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I love the outdoors and walking in all seasons. With your permission we can drive to the trails, but there are also nearby parks and trails. For quick bathroom breaks there is a fenced dog area close by. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please). There is one other adult in the home that also loves animals so your pup will be well cared for with lots of attention.

About: I grew up with pets, have owned my own dogs and cats and have been dog sitting for the last few years! I see these animals not just as pets, but as peoples' family members. Who need someone to care for them just as their owners would - while they are missing their people! I'm happy to feed, brush, walk, play and snuggle! I work 5 days a week, 3 of which are from home. Generally within any day I have quite a bit of flexibility to set my schedule and do what needs to be done! My yard is not fully fenced, however I'm happy to take dogs out for walks as needed or supervise in the yard, on a leash or not.

“Hayley did a great job with my shy snuggle-bug. I got regular notices, and in particular of him enjoying snuggle time which was the most important reasons for the visits. I was a little worried he would hide while she was here, but she knew the ways of the feline and he seemed quite comfortable with her. Everything looked great when I got home and my cat looked well-cared for. Thank you Hayley!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Our beloved pup just passed away and my daughter and I are looking to spoil your pet with love while you are away. We have a huge fenced in yard and love going for walks. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. We go for daily walks and I have dog training experience if required. I have a large fenced in yard and a smaller fenced in yard. I also have a medium sized dog crate if needed. We are able to accommodate any pet needs.

About: Do you struggle to keep up with all the walks, feeding times, potty breaks, and even poop management? If that sounds like you, there’s no shame in asking for help, and I’d love to have a hand in your dog’s care. Hi! I’m Jakob, your friendly neighbourhood doggy care person and poop-picker-upper... My dog handling experience lies in dog training, bathing, walking, and sitting. I’ve learned to always approach my client’s dogs with a calm demeanour and patience, so I can meet them where they’re at. Every dog is different, and that’s why I cater to your specific dog’s needs in every booking. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so my promise is simple: I'll treat your dog like my own. I currently provide dog walking, house visits (feeding, potty breaks, enrichment activities) and overnight dog sitting. I offer one free 20 minute intake visit to each of my new clients. Let’s set something up 🐾 I only work part-time in my “day job”, so I still have plenty of time to walk dogs! Reach out and let’s book a time 🐾 I walk one dog at a time and give them my full attention so I can adjust each walk to their needs. I read body language carefully, avoid unsafe situations, and always share honest updates and photos. I meet every single dog with patience, respect, and consistency.

About: My name is Abby, I am 22 years old and I am currently studying Linguistics: Psycholinguistics and Communications Disorders at Carleton University with dreams to become a Speech Language Pathologist one day. I am a retired competitive gymnast, and I currently coach Competitive Men's gymnastics. I love to spend time outside going for walks and runs and I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family!
I have always loved all pets of all shapes and sizes! I am always the girl looking for the dog at the party and hiding from the people:) I currently live with my boyfriend who works out of town half the time and I am often bored (and maybe a little lonely hehe) and looking for something to do when he's away! I've watched a variety of pets for family and friends before and am looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! 
Please reach out if you're interested! I work part time, typically in evenings and I am also a student. I’m usually only gone for 4-5 hour bursts and I’m typically home as much as possible! I live in an apartment so I have to bring doggie down on a leash to go potty. I live right off a park so there’s easy access to play area.

About: I’ve grown up caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and smaller animals. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m a college student looking for casual, flexible pet-care work. I’m available in the mornings and evenings and am happy to care for both dogs and cats. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention and care. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in your home. I’m not able to offer boarding or house sitting at my own home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they’re comfortable in their routine and environment. I rely on public transit to get around the city and while I am more than willing to travel out of my way, If you live out of the line of service I may decline or request a fee to cover the taxi. Thank you for understanding!

About: I've had pets in my life for many years. I raised my Schnauzer from a puppy and had him for over 13 years. Now I have a 9-year-old American Shorthair cat, and I've had him since he was a kitten. So I've been there through different stages of their lives, and I understand that what they need can change as they get older. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm more than happy to play with them, keep them company, and give them lots of attention. If your dog loves being active, I'd also be happy to go for a run with them! As a pet owner myself, I know how much we worry about our pets when we're away. I'll follow their usual routine and your instructions, pay attention to how they're doing, and send you photos or videos so you know they're happy and doing well. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I have plenty of time for drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I'm usually available from late morning through the evening, and I'm also happy to provide regular weekly care if your pet needs a familiar face around! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll follow their normal routine and your instructions, keep an eye on how they're doing, and always double-check doors and gates. I'll also respect their personality and give them all the time, space, play, or cuddles they need to feel at ease with me. And of course, I'll always respect your home and your privacy.

“Sara is absolutely wonderful, she absolutely exceeded expectations, was wonderful to get to know, and my cats loved her! and on top of everything even sent some GORGEOUS photos of them while we were away! If she wasn't moving away from Toronto my wife and I would be hiring her for every upcoming trip, anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will not have any regrets! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of our furry kids!”
