Cat Sitting Casselman

About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting as of January 1, 2027. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I don’t have any obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 For now, I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). As of January 1, 2027, I will be fully retired and available 24/7. I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. I’m pretty good at interpreting the signs for potty time, but I love learning as much as I can from you about what your baby’s habits, needs and preferences are. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and happy, and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing, even when sniffing the ground, making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!

About: Animal lover with veterinary clinic experience, a lifetime of cat ownership, and plenty of experience with dogs too. Comfortable with nail trims, expert level cuddles, and professionally certified in belly rubs and ear scratches! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. This means more time for walks, playtime, belly rubs, chin scratches, and sending you the photo updates you'll inevitably want. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, quirks, favorite toys, and preferred scratching spots (for the cats who allow it). With my veterinary clinic experience, I'm comfortable following care instructions closely and keeping an eye out for anything unusual. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and lots of photo updates along the way.

“Rebecca did a fantastic job with my little girl! The pictures she took made me feel very comfortable with the care Rebecca was giving to Lola. I would definitely have her come back and care for my little girl.”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and have grown up surrounded by many different kinds. My interest in pet sitting began when I would accompany my sister on her jobs, and I loved getting to meet new animals. I provide a range of services to meet your pet's needs. I always treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available to stay overnight during the week as-well as the weekend. I try to plan my schedule around your pets needs to ensure each pet receives maximum comfort and care.

“Maria was absolutely incredible! She watched my 2 cats and went truly above and beyond. Her communication and timing was excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any type of pet sitter! Thank you Maria!!!”

About: Animal lover whose grown up with different animals at home. Fish, canaries, parakeets, dogs, and occasionally we had cats. We don't currently have pets at home but regularly pet sit for our family members. I'm a stay at home mom and would like to have more opportunities to help out neighbours and their pets while bringing a bit of income. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I want to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my company when doing drop in visits or walking.

“Bronya was amazing! She took the best care of our two senior cats (who both have medical conditions). She sent updates every visit including pictures and kept us informed if anything came up and asked questions as needed. I will 100% work with Bronya again! As an RVT, I’m not only impressed, I’m grateful for someone who takes such pride in caring for animals. She even befriended our grumpy cat that normally isn’t interested in being friends. Thank you Bronya!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, having cats since I was a kid, constantly being around dogs & finally having my own for the last 6 years, & 15 years of riding and training horses. I’m confident, attentive, and used to picking up on what animals need, when they need it. I work a shift schedule, so my availability isn’t the same every week, but I’m reliable, communicate early, and only take bookings I can fully commit to. I provide house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits depending on what your pet needs. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible with regular walks, feeding, play, and downtime, and make sure they’re comfortable and settled while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)
