About: I will care for your pet as if it were mine. I am an all around animal lover. I don't own a dog but I do have a cat. Spending time with your pet will be important to me because it will mean that your mind is at ease. Your busy schedule won't allow you to be with your pet all the time and that is what I am here for! I can give your dog a good brush and belly rub and a good walk and/or play time at the dog park. I may not have full time dog experience but that will not prevent me from giving them the attention and care they deserve. I am happy to help when available. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I work away from home four days a week and am available on weekends. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. If they are high energy I will play with them. If they are low energy, I will give them cuddles. It all depends on the animal and what they need.

“Ella was an excellent and careful dog walker. She tool great care of Louie even when he was being a little stubborn or not feeling 100%. 10/10 will be requesting her services again!”

About: I have a love for all animals. I have been the neighbourhood cat sitter ever since I can remember. I will treat your pet like my own, with love, care and patience. I am responsible, reliable and caring, so you can count on me to give your pet the best care and know that they are in safe hands. I have my own furry friends, two guinea pigs, Taffy and Crumble, whom I adore. I take care of them as well as possible by making sure their needs are always taken care of, by giving them constant love, and by making sure they are happy and healthy. I have also owned three other guinea pigs in the past. In addition my brother owns a leopard gecko who I enjoy spending time with and taking care of. Pet care fits into my daily life by caring for my pets each day. I need to be responsible in order to give them the best life they deserve. I clean my guinea pigs cage each day, and wash all of their sheets once a week in order to make sure their home is clean and comfortable. I refill their hay daily and give them their morning veggies and pellets. I care for pets in my home each day, making sure they are living their best life. In my clients home when I do check in pet sitting, I visit them multiple times a day, not only to feed them and clean their space, but also to give them love and attention.

About: I have a 7 year old chocolate lab and a 5 year old tabby cat. I am a trusted sitter and I have 7 years experience dog, cat and house sitting for neighbours/family friends sometimes for a month at a time. I am a part time Pilates teacher and a freelance professional dancer currently, so I often have time during the day and off periods where I am able to stay somewhere for a longer period of time. I will maintain a clean and safe environment for your pet, and for dog care I prioritize getting to know the neighbourhood so I can take them on safe and enjoyable walks.

About: J’ai toujours été entourée de chiens, depuis aussi loin que je me souvienne ! J’adore passer du temps avec eux, que ce soit pour jouer, promener ou simplement leur tenir compagnie. J’ai aussi eu l’occasion de m’occuper de chats pour des amis, et j’ai maintenant moi-même un chat à la maison. Patiente, attentionnée et à l’écoute, je m’adapte facilement à la personnalité et aux besoins de chaque animal pour qu’il se sente en confiance et bien entouré. Je suis actuellement entre deux emplois, ce qui me laisse beaucoup de temps libre pour m’occuper de vos fidèles compagnons ! J’adore passer du temps avec les animaux, que ce soit pour les promenades, les visites ou les gardes à domicile. Je suis disponible en semaine et les fins de semaine, et je m’adapte facilement à vos besoins. Pour moi, partager du temps avec des chiens et des chats est un vrai plaisir au quotidien ! Lorsque je m’occupe d’un animal, je veille toujours à respecter son environnement, sa routine et ses besoins. Que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite ou une garde à domicile, je prends le temps de m’assurer qu’il se sente en confiance et bien entouré. J’accorde une grande importance à la sécurité, au confort et au bien-être de chaque compagnon. Eau fraîche, câlins et promenades régulières sont toujours au rendez-vous !

About: I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also comfortable handling all sorts of energy levels, so whether your pup is super high-energy or a laid-back cuddle bug, I’m here to make sure they have a great time. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! As a university student, I’ve got plenty of extra time on my hands, which means I can easily fit in walks even on those simple, easy days when your pup just needs a little extra attention. I am very flexible and available from morning to evening! When I care for pets in your home, I always treat it like their home turf. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and right at home.

“Jayme was great with my dog and made the dog walks easy and stress-free. She's prompt, a good communicator, and immediately established a good rapport with my pup. I would definitely book her again!”

About: Enjoy a stress-free trip knowing your furry friends are in great hands. I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs and cats—while many people start out babysitting, my first job was dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve always been an animal lover! Since moving to the city, I’ve missed having a pet around. I miss the routine and just seeing their happy faces! I would love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the attention, comfort, and companionship they deserve while you are away! I am an aesthetician, so my schedule is flexible! I am currently not working in the spa on Sunday and Mondays. Most day I start later in the afternoon, so I’ll be able to give your pet all the love and attention they need! Whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you are away I will be happy to help! I have experience with older dogs, reactive and anxious.

“I booked with Luisa for three walks during the same week. We agreed to meet before hand and I have to say that Luisa has a wonderful, positive and dynamic energy. My Labrador was right away very drawn to her (and she is known to be a bit shy!). All our walks were consistently on time, and Luisa was kind and remembered to give Isla her treat and wipe down her paws. 10/10 and will rebook!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always loved all pets and animals. Growing up in Italy, my family always loved to have a non-human family member to take care of. My fondest childhood memories were playing with our labrador retriever, Lola, and later adopting another dog named Spenk (named after a popular anime cartoon charater in Italy at the time) in my adolescence. We also had pet chipmunks at one time! I continued living with and taking care of dogs while I lived with host families in Austrailia and New Zealand in my 20s. When I moved to Canada and later met my now-wife, she was a dogsitter through Rover. It was through her that I was able to discover this opportunity and help her with the various responsibilities that came with petsitting. I find taking care of pets in this way to be so rewarding - it boosted my mood, and helped get me moving! Unfortunately, my wife is no longer able to continue being a petsitter due to the committments of her current full-time job. However, since moving to the National Capital Region, we have regularly watched our friends' pets, both at our house and theirs. We both agree, that we really hope to have a pet of our own one day, but for now the best way to fill that void is for me to continue petsitting. I always find it so exciting to have a new "friend" be apart of my day that I can't help but give them my undivided attention. No matter this age, size, or energy level of your pet, I will always stive to give them the exact amount of play, walks, bathroom breaks, treats, and overall attention they may need. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Pet owners need to have a great deal of trust in their petsitters. Whenever I watch pets, I love to have constant communication with the owner - sending them regular updates and photos throughout the day. Even if their pet is having no problems and seemingly a very happy time, it's still important that the owners know that so they feel more at ease. We thankfully have a very large backyard which would make bathroom breaks very easy, however, at the moment our yard is not fenced, so I would only feel comfortable taking them on bathroom breaks both on-leash and supervised. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Additionally, we live in a bungalow with a door that closes, so we can block off stairs if that is also a concern for you.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, since I was young. I grew up with a dog of my own, who I recently lost, and I feel like I need somewhere where I can show dogs this care since his passing. As you might be able to tell from my photos, my dog was a big guy, so I’m very familiar with caring for large dogs and I know how to walk them. Because of this, I also feel very confident walking smaller dogs. I’m also familiar with caring for senior dogs and making sure that they stay on top of medications and exercise. I’m also physically active, and able to walk long distances and lift heavy objects. Above all, I’m eager to learn more about dogs and I would love to build connections with a couple of clients and their pets. I see it as a privilege for someone to allow me to build a relationship with their pet, and it’s my goal to earn that privilege with care :) Currently, I am a graduate student, which means I have a fairly flexible schedule that makes me suited to checking in on/walking pets during the work day. With enough notice, I can likely make most days work within my schedule. I’m especially eager to petsit as a break during my day and an opportunity to stretch my legs. Let me know what your pet’s needs are and we can discuss how that can fit into both of our schedules. In the unlikely event that a conflict ever develops on my end, I will let you know as soon as possible, so that we can come to a solution that works for both of us Having a dog of my own, I’m used to navigating pet body language and responding to their needs/wants. Especially having had a big dog, I know the importance of responding to your pets behaviour and gently ensuring that they are happy while also not acting out (I’m aware it can be pretty challenging to work with a 100lb dog who thinks they’re the one in charge!). I’m focused and vigilant, knowing things to look out for while on walks or potential dangers in the home to pets. I also have access to a car, in the event of any emergencies.

About: I’m a veterinary assistant at a clinic in Ottawa with over five years of experience providing compassionate care to animals. I approach every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe and loved. At home, I care for my two cats, Geneva and Dolly, who are truly part of the family. I currently work from home as my primary job, and in addition, I have a part-time role at a local fitness studio. On Wednesdays, I also work part-time at a veterinary clinic. I know that it can be intimidating to trust a stranger with your beloved pets, but rest assured, I will treat them with the utmost love and care, as if they were my own.
