About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.

“Adair was really great to work with. She’s super sweet on time, and our dog really liked her. She sent a photo on their walk. Will definitely book again.”

“William was great with Ollie. He always arrived on time with a smile on his face for the thirty minute walk, and Ollie came home happy and tired! I would highly recommend William to look after your dog😊”

About: Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! As a dog-owner, I have experienced the stress and anxiety of finding someone who will look after my dogs the same way I do. Someone who is patient with their quirks and willing to treat my dogs as their own…..so this is what I strive for while looking after your dogs! Most importantly, I want your time away (whether it’s for work, travel or something else) to be as stress free as possible. I have 10+ years volunteering with various animal rescue groups and I am a certified Therapy Dog team member (Magical Paws Pet Therapy) which means I volunteer in LTC homes and hospice with 2 of my dogs. I am also an approved foster home for multiple rescues across Ontario. We have fostered 16 rescue dogs in the past 4 years. I have a 15-year old daughter (loves animals and is a huge help with your dogs). Smoke-free home. I have a fully fenced yard, and live in the country (only 20 minutes from Ottawa and 3 mins from the 416). I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs & special needs dogs. Willing to administer medication. Whether your dog(s) want hiking and adventure, (cooling off in my dog pool, or just chilling on the couch) I’m happy to provide whatever level of activity your dog enjoys! Feel free to ask me anything else! I am home full time. If I need to step out for errands etc. I try to do so when my daughter is home so that pets are always supervised. On the rare occasion we both need to be out for a short period, dogs are given their own safe space to decompress and relax. I have 3 very friendly small dogs (all neutered and up to date on shots) and a fully fenced yard. We also have a small doggy pool for hot days.

“Na was amazing with my dog, Bean! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. She provided regular updates and shared lots of photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Bean was in excellent hands, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend Na to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s a high-energy puppy still learning boundaries or a senior pet needing gentle, consistent support. I’m very comfortable administering medication and creating a low-stress environment for older pets who may have mobility or medical issues. I genuinely care about creating a safe, nurturing space so your pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. I prioritize structure, so feeding times, walks, play, and quiet companionship are built into my schedule just like any other important commitment. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday check-ins for attention and exercise, or evening routines to wind down, I genuinely enjoy creating a rhythm that keeps pets happy and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I look forward to and make space for, because their well-being and comfort matter to me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with designated areas for rest, play, and feeding. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including meal times, walks, and medication if needed, while also providing plenty of attention and enrichment. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and care. I stick to their established routines and make sure their pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also keep communication open—sharing updates, photos, and any changes I notice in behavior or health—so clients feel reassured and informed while they’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.

About: I will give the love and attention your dog needs. Always active and love having a furry friend tag along on my adventures. I love bonding with animals and helping them be the most well-trained fur baby. I am open to interacting with various breeds of dogs and enjoy the various personalities behind each dog. I also make trips to the dog park along the way to allow dogs to interact and socialize with others. I am flexible in meeting the special needs of dogs who require more attention and/or dietary plans. I currently have a family dog (3-year-old shih tzu) who lives with my parents the majority of the time. I have a puppy named Atlas who is full of energy and loves welcoming new visitors to our home. He loves to play with all dogs and is very friendly. Dogs have always played a big part in my life and remain a top priority.

I strictly follow all homeowner instructions regarding property security, locking doors, and gate safety.

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.

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 taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four golden doodles in my family (from mini to large) and know the requirements and care dogs of all sizes need, especially a good long walk for them to explore and let their energy out so they can be more restful when you get home and have a great sleep. You can see my large doodle, Lincoln, in my profile photo 🐶. I love dogs, and I consider mine my best friends and would love the opportunity to help you out! Hi, I’m Alex 👋🏼 I’m a recent university graduate from Carleton University with a Bachelor of Computer Science. I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four golden doodles in my family (from mini to large) and know the requirements and care dogs of all sizes need, especially a good long walk for them to explore and let their energy out so they can be more restful when you get home and have a great sleep. You can see my large doodle, Lincoln, in my profile photo 🐶. I love dogs, and I consider mine my best friends and would love the opportunity to help you out! I have lots of time off at the moment so I’m generally available to help you out at any time! I’m super flexible with accommodating to your schedule, location and needs. I love taking my dogs on big long walks so they can explore during the day, as that’s their favourite thing to do. I know that dogs have lots of energy and if they just stay inside or go on very short walks, they can feel very hyper and needy, especially when you come home after work!

“Ciri loved Christina and came back a happy pupper. Couldn’t be happier with the walk she had with her.”

“Johanne was beyond amazing with my dogs. She was always on time, kept up communication, got some fantastic photos and kept us updated about both our dogs. I was worried at first as one of my dogs is a muscular puller and thought for sure that it would be a challenge but not at all. She handled both dogs perfectly and I am pretty sure she taught them to be bilingual as well. 10/10 she will be my number one choice and the only person I will recommend to others. I can not express how happy we were with our experience. I am not sure if there are awards or 6 star status but If anyone from the Rover teams see this Johanne should be given elite status.”

About: Dogs, cats, rabbits … I’ve cared for a variety of animals since I was young child. Mom of two kids who loves cuddles and going for walks. I have always had dogs and pets in my home, currently mom to two kids and one 11 year old cattle dog (think Bluey). Experience with puppies also! I am certified in first aid and CPR for your pets and have experience giving oral medication. Let me know if you have certain expectations for updates or pictures you would like to receive as I want to do whatever I can to help ease your mind while caring for your pet. I can help give your pet social interactions, walking for exercise or just extra cuddles while you're away. My schedule is flexible, if something you need isn’t listed (or availability) please message me as I can usually work something out. Daytime is my most available. As a mom of two kids, I always ensure safety is top priority for everyone. I will only walk animals on a leash to be safe and always check for ticks after coming back from walks. I have experience with medication for animals and CPR for animals.
