“Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Kelly provided great care to our kitties and went out of her way to keep their litter area squeaky clean. She provided lots of photos during the check ins. Would recommend!”
“Elizabeth was an excellent pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. She communicated clearly and consistently, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was kind and thoughtful with both our family and our cat, and it was obvious our pet was in great hands. She also stepped in to help us out of a last-minute jam, which we truly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I have had dogs big and small since I was a child. My mother and aunt run a dog kennel with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. They also run a local breeding service giving me lots of experience with dogs young and old. I currently still own a bernadoodle who loves his walks I’m sure as much as your dog does too. I work shift work and on my days off love staying active when I’m not with my children. I love being outside and what better excuse to have than to help get your loved ones some exercise. I am strictly a dog walker or someone who can come to your house and let your animals out in the yard for a stretch and exercise.
About: Your pet will enjoy 3 walks a day and open access to our 10 acre hobby farm just on the outskirts of kemptville (just a few minutes from the 416 for easy drop off and pick up ). Most Saturdays guests will Also enjoy a walk on the historic town of merreckville. Everyone in our household loves spending time with dogs, so rest assured while you are away your pet will receive our full attention . Both my husband and I are retired and are able to spend quality time with your pet every day. Starting with a morning walk on the property(dogs leashed at all times). We have several trail systems in our area to also provide afternoon walks We gave 40 years of experience with our own dogs and also taking care of family dogs when required. When we walk our dogs are always leashed . Visiting dogs are free to lounge on the back deck or lawns and will always be tethered
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.
“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my German Shepard since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats ever since and would love to host your pet. I have trained my dog with patience and will be able to handle absolutely anything! I currently work permanent part time and will be able to take care of your pet whenever I am available. With that said, this includes walks, nutrition, and overall attention to the dog/cat during the entirety of their stay. My house does not have any hazards and has a fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I live in a very safe and beautiful neighbourhood that can accommodate any pet. My house is far from any major road, surrounded by a golf course, and is close to various parks and pathways that the pets may enjoy.
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
About: I love love cats and dogs!! I sadly have not had the life yet to be able to own my own yet, but I am always the friend who is volunteering to take care of my friends’ pets!! I am excited and enthusiastic when my friends now ask me because they know I will say yes and try to make it happen. I work during the day a lot but am flexible with scheduling. So I am able to between my 2 shifts do pet care as well and I am always free in the late evenings. I also am a morning person, so I am also happy to feed and walk your pay before the day begins. I am always aware of where the pets are and pay attention to their behaviours and their body language. I keep an eye on them and follow them to see what they are up to and if they are the type to love attention I will provide them with it with snuggles or petting
“Natalia was very professional to work with and for my cats she was very caring, kind and understanding of their needs. She was reliable and always responded to any messages I sent her very promptly. I definitely recommend her as I would contact her again in the future if I find myself in need of a cat sitter.”
