Dog Walking Embrun

“Keshia has been amazing with our dog, immediately being comfortable with some of his less than desirable behaviours (ex jumping) while at the same time making our dog feel comfortable. She has been professional and reliable, and a life saver with quick reponses and last minute walks. Dexter and us are very appreciative of your help!”

Laura F.

“Caylie was great! We loved all the pictures she took and the note provided after the walk. Sounds like Klaus had a great time!”

About: Hi! We’re Selina and Pascal, longtime dog lovers with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, we’ve shared our home with (and cared for!) everything from playful Pugs and Frenchies to energetic Aussies, loyal Golden Retrievers, goofy Doodles, gentle St. Bernards, cuddly Chihuahuas, and many others in between. We’re comfortable with dogs who are high energy, low key, seniors, puppies, or those who need a little extra medical attention, including medication or special routines. Our family team includes us both as well as my 16 year old son, Jesse, who loves helping out and giving dogs lots of affection. We recently lost our beloved Bella, a French Bulldog mix, so we have plenty of space in our hearts (and home!) for your pup. I currently work from home full time, so dogs in our care are rarely alone. And if I ever need to step out, Pascal works nearby at the post office and can easily pop in to keep pups company. Long story short: there’s almost always someone around! We’re dedicated to giving each dog the same warm, personalized care we’d want for our own; daily walks (up to 4 times!), playtime, cuddles, mental stimulation, and lots of love. Just let us know any special needs or quirks so we can tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. 🐶💛 Please note: we can’t host cats in our home due to our son’s allergies, but we’re happy to offer drop ins. Since I currently work from home full‑time, pet care naturally fits into my daily rhythm. Regular walks, feeding times, potty breaks, and play sessions are built right into my schedule. I adjust the day based on each dog’s needs, whether they thrive on extra exercise, prefer frequent short outings, or just love being close for cuddles. And with Pascal working nearby at the post office, there’s always someone available to pop in if I need to step out. This means your pet gets consistent companionship and is rarely ever alone. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priority. In our home, pups are treated just like family, free to relax, explore, play, and enjoy plenty of affection. Since I work from home and Pascal works nearby, dogs are rarely left alone for long. They get several daily walks, outdoor time, and a calm, cozy environment to help them feel completely at ease. One thing that’s really important to us: we only host one family’s pets at a time. That means no mixing unfamiliar dogs from different households. This helps ensure everyone, pets and humans, stays comfortable, stress free, and safe. Plus, your pup gets 100% of our attention and care, with no competition for space, toys, or affection. Cat care is available through drop-ins as we can’t host cats in our home due to allergies.

About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! I’m the person your pup’s been hoping you’d find. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Think muddy paws, endless fetch, and the occasional epic game of “who can out-stubborn who.” I’ve owned dogs of every size, shape, and quirky personality, and I wouldn’t trade a single slobbery kiss for the world. Here’s what sets me apart: I’m certified in Animal First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross (safety first—always!). I also have hands-on experience in dog rehabilitation and training, so I’m the go-to for pups who need a little extra TLC or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Whether your dog is a high-energy ball chaser, a senior looking for some sunshine and slow strolls, or a shy rescue who needs patience and understanding, I’m here to make their day brighter (and give you total peace of mind).Let’s be honest, your dog deserves someone who’ll treat them like family. That’s exactly what I do. So if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do—and maybe even sneak them an extra treat or two then let’s chat! Ready for your pup’s next favorite human? Book with me, and let’s make some tails wag! I am currently working from home so am available for walks & drop-ins mid day. I am also available anytime evenings and weekends as well. Holidays too if I am around! When I care for pets during drop-in visits or walks, safety and trust are always my top priorities. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your instructions, your dog’s unique needs, and any special routines or quirks. During drop-ins, I do a quick safety check of your home such as making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, and removing anything that could be hazardous to curious noses. I let the dops out for a much needed potty break and top up water bowls. On walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and only go to places you’re comfortable with, whether that’s a quiet neighborhood street or a stroll through a trail. I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.

“Upon meeting Fionna, I knew that she has a passion for animals and I instantly knew she would be a great fit. When I got home Frankie was still napping so I knew she had had a good hour of fun and exercise.”

Christena W.

“Shanna is punctual , attentive & extremely caring. She loves dog & it shows. My dogs LOVE when Shanna walks in to see them or give them a walk. She takes her time when she is with them & ensure they are fulfilled with exercise & mental enrichment. HIGHLY recommend.”

Ashley S.

“Krista was great with communication and confident with her care of my reactive dog! She did such an amazing job and kept me in the loop during the whole visit. Would love to have Krista come back again and walk Zoey!”

About: Please note: I often have my kids with me during drop-ins, walks, or house sits. They love animals and are very respectful of pets. I’ve had lots of experience with dogs. My dog growing up was a husky but we’ve had quite a few breeds. I would love to get to know your fur babies and get to help take care of them! I offer a tailored, reliable schedule for your pet, including feeding, medication, and multiple daily walks or potty breaks. My top priority is keeping your dog comfortable, happy, and safe, sticking as closely as possible to their normal, daily routine to ensure a stress-free experience. Safety first: Experienced in handling, vigilant on walks, and fully committed to your dog's security and comfort. Rest easy knowing your pet is with a responsible caregiver.

“We had a great first experience using Melina - she was friendly and very responsive. Communication was clear and timely, and everything went smoothly with no issues at all. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for!”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up, one at my moms and one at my dads, I now live alone and would love to help with your little fur babies! I have 4 pets right now two bunnies and two cats. The bunnies get kibble and veggies in the morning. The cats get wet food in the morning and at night. Dry kibble out all day and hay out all day for the bunnies. We clean their cage 1/ week, and the cats litter gets changed every 3 days. I’ve dog sat a few times for the same family and if you have a routine for your pets I’ll gladly follow what your looking for, I also have a routine for mine as well, so whatever works best for you!

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! 🐶 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). 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. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe 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!

“Highly recommend! Ramona had great communication, was very comfortable with our anxious dog, and was flexible to accommodate us. We felt confident that our girl would be looked after really well. I will definitely reach out again!”

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, from my two beloved cats, Easton and Leo, to rabbits, a conure, chickens, ducks, and fish. I genuinely love and respect all animals, and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they’re playful kittens or shy seniors, and I take the time to connect with them in a calm, respectful way. You can count on me to provide trusted, compassionate care, just like I do for my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your cat the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day. I also have two animal-loving, babysitter-certified daughters who are home for the summer and just as dedicated to making your feline friend feel safe, loved, and comfortable. With our calm, pet-friendly home and flexible schedule, your cat will be in caring and attentive hands at all times In our home, we have a completely separate, quiet section dedicated solely to the pets we care for. This space is designed to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, with cozy spots for resting and plenty of attention. We understand how important it is to create a calm environment, especially for cats who may be shy or adjusting to a new place.If caring for pets in your home, we follow your routines closely to provide familiar comfort and minimize any disruption. Whether at your home or ours, the priority is always the well-being and happiness of your feline friend.

“Met Candice for the first time yesterday. She is a lovely person, very calm and relaxed around my girls. I’ll be scheduling follow up walks with her in the days to come. Thanks Candice!”

About: I have years of experience caring for my own dog and truly understand the love and attention they need. Now, as a newcomer to Canada, I would love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own. Providing them with companionship, exercise, and affection brings me so much joy! We are a small, loving family—husband, wife, and our wonderful 10-year-old daughter—newcomers to Canada. My daughter has an incredible love for dogs, but since we currently live in a small apartment, we’re unable to have one of our own. Walking dogs is the perfect way for us to enjoy the company of man’s best friend while providing them with care and attention. It would be a joy for both me and my daughter to spend time with your furry friends! We are a small, loving family—husband, wife, and our wonderful 10-year-old daughter—newcomers to Canada.

About: Hello there! I'm Bridget, and I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals. Growing up on a lively farm, surrounded by a multitude of furry friends, instilled in me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Additionally, my family and I often open our doors to foster animals in partnership with the Cornwall OSPCA, providing them with a safe and loving environment. With 16 years of dedicated service in the Canadian Forces, I've honed skills in discipline and responsibility, which I bring to every interaction with your cherished pet. Rest assured, your furry companion will be in capable and caring hands under my watch I currently operate my own home-based business, and my commitment to community volunteering remains steadfast. In the event I'm needed in Ottawa, you'll find me there from 8 am to 3 pm, but I always make it back home in time to attend to my beloved pups. When I'm house sitting, my supportive spouse happily dedicates their time to our furry companions. This ensures that pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. We are only taking cats into our home at this time as we have a spare room for them where we normally host animals for the OSPCA.

About: Hello! I’ve pet-sat, walked dogs, and cared for animals in friends and family’s homes for over 14 years. Looking to do it more often and expand my clientele. I love animals and really enjoy pet-sitting in either my home or yours. I work 2 minutes from home so taking care of them during the day is very easy. These jobs allow me to spend time with animals which I absolute love! Please note that I’ve had this app for a while but only decided to take on clients a couple weeks ago. I am very excited to begin this pet sitting journey through Rover! I can provide excellent references if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with pet owners to figure out a schedule that works best for us both (and of course your pets). :) As previously mentioned, I am unable to have animals of my own, so I really enjoy spending quality time with the animals I care for.

About: I grew up with dogs (rescues and breeder dogs) and also watched friends & family dogs of all age and sizes. I have experience with special needs. From training puppies to taking care of senior dogs, all dogs are worthy of patience, love and care. I’m currently working from home full-time therefore, I am available to love and hang out with your fur baby/babies at all time. I have a large fenced in backyard that the dogs can play and run and go out as often as needed. Pack walks or individual walks are also an option at all times. I have a large fenced yard and 2 dog friendly dogs (one 8 pounds male and one 17 pounds female) of my own. All of my dogs are special needs in one way or another so nothing is too much for me! My pups are crate trained and can do the same for yours if needed!
