About: Bonjour! Étant une grande passionnée d'animaux depuis toute ma vie, il me ferait plaisir d'offrir mes services en tant que gardienne de chiens et/ou chats à domicile, ainsi que de les promener au besoin. J'ai effectivement grandi avec des chiens et chats. En tout, j'ai eu trois chiens qui, chacun étaient des chiens rescapés, ainsi que beaucoup de chats. J'ai présentement un montagne des pyrénés mélangé avec du golden retriever comme chien en plus d'avoir quatre chats. Cela dit, j'ai beaucoup d'expérience à prendre soin de ceux-ci, que ce soit pour les nourrir, leur donner des médicaments (plus particulièrement des pilules), les brosser, les promener mais surtout, leur donner énormément d'amour. Mes services sont offerts à temps partiel lors des soirs de semaine et durant les journées de fins de semaine. Je suis une étudiante universitaire à temps plein, limitant donc le temps disponible que j'ai à offrir. De plus, je me déplacerai à votre domicile afin de prendre soin de vos animaux de compagnie. Au grand plaisir de faire votre connaissance et celle de vos toutous! ☺️ Je suis prête à m’adapter en fonction de vos besoins et de ceux de vos animaux. Cependant, je passe le plus de temps possible avec ceux-ci et je leur donne beaucoup d’affection et d’attention. Lorsque je garde des animaux, je reste au moins plusieurs heures au domicile et je leur offre tout ce dont ils ont de besoin, que ce soit de les nourrir, les sortir à l’extérieur ou leur donner de l’affection, tout dépendemment de vos attentes et désirs.
“Angela took amazing care of our bunnies while we were on holidays for two weeks. She always kept their space tidy and even went above and beyond to buy them some fresh veggies. We really appreciated the exceptional care she gave our bunnies - highly recommend her services!! Thank you so much Angela!!”

Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Jayme was fantastic! She was professional, reliable, and truly caring with both my cat and dog. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer took such good care of my kitties! They were healthy, relaxed and happy when I came home after a few weeks. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, which made me feel confident they were doing well. All around a fantastic experience!”
“Rebeca was right on time and had a wonderful visit with our Simon. I could tell by the pictures she took that he did great with her. We will be sure to book Rebeca if we need to on our next visit to Ottawa with Simon.”
“Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!”
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: Having experience with a range of pets allows me to be flexible in my service and help care for many pet needs. Beyond dog and cat care, I can provide any needs to bunnies, hamsters, or other small creatures. Given that, I excel at both dog and cat care and am more happy to accommodate any requests you may have. I am currently attending my 3rd year of studies at uOttawa, so I have less time for a flexible schedule. That being said, there many days where I am open and feel free to book with me then! Personally, I keep all three of my cats indoors to ensure that they are safe, comfortable, and have a warm/cozy environment to play in. Also, when I care for dogs, I ensure that I have eyes on them at all times to make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. I will always be wary of dog's personality and will listen to any request you may have regarding the safety of your dog. All in all, my experience with cats and dogs have given me the opportunity to make certain that they are safe and well-cared for.
“STAR SITTER FOR A REASON. MY Dog Loved Being with KATE as she provided an extra care for Honey and helped me in an emergency situation that too on a Short Notice. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND KATE....”
About: Hi, i’m a college student and a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with all sorts of animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and I currently help care for my one year-old dog, my nine-year-old cat and my hamster. I originally started pet sitting because I wanted to do something I genuinely love while earning some extra money on the side. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals, so getting to spend my time caring for them feels much more like something I love doing than just a job. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, follow their normal routine and give them plenty of attention, whether that means going for a walk, playing, cuddling or simply keeping them company. I’m starting school soon but I’d still be available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week depending on my class schedule. I’m also available for housesitting and doggy day-care on weekends, holidays and school breaks. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you don’t have to worry how your pet is doing while your away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines or anything else your pet may need. I can also speak and understand French quite well, although I’m not perfectly bilingual. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my days. Once school starts, I’ll still be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week around my class schedule. I’m also available for housesitting and doggy day-care on weekends, holidays and school breaks. I’m usually able to plan my schedule around each pet’s needs and am happy to work with owners to find times that fit their routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable whether they are in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment that helps pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, respect their space, and stick to the pet’s normal routine. I always ensure doors are secure, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes regularly, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behaviour.
“Marisa is a very caring pet sitter. The cats loved seeing her everyday. She is also great at taking and sending amazing pictures of the cats and also very communicative. I will book her again!!!”
“Jude took really good care of our two cats. He was easy to communicate with, respectful and professional. Our place was spotless when we got back and the cats were happy and well cared for. I would recommend Jude to anyone.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.
“Joseph and Maria took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She is an indoor-outdoor cat who doesn’t do well with big changes to her routine so having twice-daily drop ins to feed her and let her in and out was ideal. Joseph sent us lovely updates and pictures and took care of her with the love and affection she is used to. I would trust Joseph and Maria with any pet and will definitely be calling on them again! This was my first time using Rover and am really happy with the experience.”
“Kelsea was great with my puppy! Took him out for a walk and spent time playing with him at home too. He was happy and calm when I got back, which says a lot. She also sent me tons of pics, which I loved. Would definitely book her again 😊”
“Anna was great! She met with us prior to the booking, took the time to listen to our routine, and sent prompt updates. My pup is a skittish rescue and Anna made sure that she was well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Katherine was great to agree to meet our dog, Rufus, and spend some time bonding with him in our home on such short notice! Rufus took a shine to her right away and was so calm in her presence! We have an upcoming house sitting booked with Katherine while we’re out of town, and we’re confident Rufus and our home will be in good hands.”

Billie was just the right level of attention and energy for my senior kitty, providing lots of brushings, treats and gentle petting! Pixie has special medical needs too, and I knew Billie would ensure her meds were all administered in a calm manner. And last but not least, thanks for the added bonus of your experienced plant care!
