“Jess consistently provides amazing care and certainly knows how to relate to her four legged friends. She’s reliable plus and extremely professional. I feel fortunate to have found her as does Amore who is waiting for her next rubs.”

“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!”

“Our pup Luna had some wonderful adventures on her walks with Jacqueline. We received beautiful photos of each walk, it was much appreciated. Jacqueline really went above & beyond, so thankful!”

“Norma was so good with Stevie. She built a really great rapprt with Stevie and encouraged her to sniff, roll, and socialize while they walked so Stevie came home happy and tired. Norma was also really patient with technical issues in the building and went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Thank you so much Norma ~ Stevie can't wait for your next visit! 😊”

“I would 100% recommend Autumn, she was punctual and provided clear fast communication throughout the drop-in sessions. Autumn fed my dog and gave him plenty of walks (which was impressive as my dog doesn’t normally walk with anyone but myself). I will be using Autumns services again, she was fantastic and made me feel at ease whilst she took care of my dog.”

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.

“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.”

“When you're thinking who would be the dream person to take care of you pet, that's Derek. My dog is always thrilled to see him. He has proved to be completely reliable. Most importantly, Derek is full of genuine kindness and patience. He has my full trust, which i don't say lightly.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medication when needed, cleaning litter boxes and cages, walking dogs, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important routine is for animals, so I always maintain their regular schedules to reduce stress and anxiety. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience training young pets, helping reinforce basic commands such as sit, stay, leash manners, and positive behavior through consistency and positive reinforcement. I am also comfortable providing senior pet care, including gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration, and closely monitoring for any changes in health or behavior. I take pride in being reliable, responsible, and highly communicative with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to foster peace of mind. Above all, I genuinely care about animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize organization and consistency. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, feedings, playtime, training sessions, and check-ins. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m flexible to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care. Since I value routine, I’m able to maintain pets’ regular schedules, which helps them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I keep my space clean, organized, and free of hazards, ensuring there are no small objects, harmful foods, or unsafe areas accessible to pets. I provide a cozy resting area, fresh water at all times, and follow each pet’s specific feeding and care instructions carefully. I supervise pets closely throughout the day, especially during playtime or introductions, and I adjust my approach based on their personality, age, and needs. For puppies, I reinforce positive behavior and basic training with patience and consistency. For senior pets, I offer gentle handling, mobility support if needed, and careful monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. My home is a calm environment where pets receive attention, structure, and affection, so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and would be so happy to care for your furry friend! 🐶 I’ve had my own Pit Bull since he was a puppy, and I’ve been actively involved in his training and everyday care. I’m comfortable handling a strong, energetic dog and have experience with both big and small breeds. I also regularly walk my neighbours’ and friends’ dogs. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog with love, attention and respect. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles and care while you’re away! 🐾💕 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friend! I have lots of availability for dog walking, pet sitting and boarding in my home. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and love. Whether your pup needs a quick walk or lots of activity throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs! 🐾 I live in a spacious apartment with my own friendly dog, and I can keep the dogs safely separated if your pup prefers their own space or is uncomfortable around other dogs. There is also a small dog park right next door for supervised play and exercise. The Aylmer Marina is about a 10-minute walk away, so I can also offer longer walks and plenty of outdoor time. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for while they’re with me! 🐶💕

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets through my own pet care business, Kenzie’s Canine Club. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, pet sitting, basic grooming services, and dog training support, and I’ve worked with pets of different ages, personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I’m also trained in dog training and have experience working with dogs who may be nervous, excitable, strong on leash, or unsure of new people. I believe in giving every pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable and using patient, positive, reward-based handling. Pet care is something I take very seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, exercise needs, behaviour, and safety, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always aim to keep pet parents updated and treat every animal in my care like they’re part of the family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. Since I run my own pet care business, I'm able to plan my schedule around my clients and their pet's individual routines. I offer both regular reoccurring care and occasional bookings, and I'll always do my best to accommodate last minute bookings when my schedule allows. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a drop-in while you're at work, or care while you are away, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's boundaries, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care, and I never force interactions with an animal who needs extra time to feel comfortable. I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and outdoor spaces, and I follow all household and care instructions closely. I also believe trust is built through patience and consistency, especially with nervous or cautious pet's. When caring for pet's in their own home, I respect bother their space and yours. My goal is to create a calm, secure environment where your pet can relax and feel comfortable while you are away.

About: I’m an undergraduate student working toward becoming a veterinarian and have been caring for animals my whole life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish, and I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I’ve provided advanced care for cats and dogs, including tube feeding, wound care, and grooming sensitive areas. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic assisting with common procedures. I have also recently been volunteering at Ottawa humane society in canine enrichment, so I am used to caring for dogs of all sizes and all personalities! I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals—whether that’s playing, grooming, or just giving them lots of affection. I’m always looking to learn more about dog and cat care, so I bring both experience and a willingness to grow. I am currently a part time working biology student! I currently work at a busy bar downtown on Friday and Saturday nights. I am fully willing to incorporate your pets schedule into mine, patience on both ends is appreciated! In my home, I regularly groom my cats and dog and gave my senior dog extra care for her sensitive skin and allergies. I have recently got a border collie puppy so I have had lots of fun training him!I’m attentive to each pet’s specific needs and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. In both my home and a client’s home, I keep things calm and safe and follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I spend time playing, cuddling, and making sure they’re getting the attention they need, while also respecting their boundaries and comfort levels. I also like to make simple toys or enrichment activities to keep them engaged.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
