“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our puppy Ziggy. She sent updates and pictures and replied to any texts I sent quickly. We will be returning clients and Im sure Ziggy will be happy to see her the next time we need a sitter 😀”

“Nevaeh responded to my request right away, even though it was very last minute and I needed her the very next day. She was warm, friendly, and delightful from the moment she came to meet us. My dog, Peaches, was recovering from some severe stomach issues earlier that week, and Nevaeh took excellent care of her, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nevaeh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again!”


“Jennifer is a fantastic sitter! She knows how to put anxious pets at ease, not to mention anxious pet parents. She sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay. It was reassuring to see my babies so happy in all the photos and videos. It was also easy to see how much she loves animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer.”


“Katryna was a wonderful dog, cat, and house sitter! We were very grateful to have her through an emergency flooding event, where she called in her family to support and managed our neighbours and families coming to help as well. She took wonderful care of our animals during regular circumstances and went above and beyond to support in an emergency. 100% will be hoping to book Katryna again.”

About: I’ve always been a very kind, loving and nurturing person. I believe I can provide the utmost excellent care for your pups! Additionally, I value customer service and respect homeowners personal space/property. As a college student, working towards my certification as a Medical Radiation Technologist, I am available for part time hours a few days per week. I intend to care for your beloved dogs as if they were my own always with lots of TLC and love. Patience, gentleness, and a whole lot of those tail wagging scritches, and belly rubs!

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.

“What lovely people! They were so attentive to detail and took such great care. I felt very calm and relieved to have them watch my girl while I was away. I will definitely book again :)”


“Une personne exceptionnelle, totalement de confiance intègre et elle a traité nos poilus avec un amour inconditionnel, je recommande Christine à 500 % Juste du wow 😍😍😍😍 Merci tellement et on se revoit bientôt.”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our home and, most importantly, looked after our golden retriever, Archie, so well. We came home to a happy dog and a house that was exactly as we left it. Kayla was responsible, caring, communicative, and a pleasure to have stay. We would happily recommend her and have her look after Archie and our home again anytime.”


“Mala was the absolute best! She was so thorough with her care and communication. I always knew how the pets were doing, and I knew they were safe and well cared for when they were with her. I highly recommend Mala to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, you won’t be disappointed and you will have a care free vacation with her taking care of them!”

“Rebeca was fantastic—kind, reliable, and great with Meeko. She sent regular updates and photos, took him on lots of walks, and kept everything in perfect shape at home. I had total peace of mind and would book her again in a heartbeat.”

About: Growing up in a home with five dogs and over ten cats meant my life was non-stop paws, tails, and belly rubs. It taught me everything from handling medications, puppy and potty training, extra senior pet care, reading a pet’s body language and knowing when they just need a quiet cuddle or extra patience. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and coworkers heading out of town. I treat every pet in my care like family. When your pet is with me, they aren't just being watched, I can guarantee that they're getting a true home away from home. I work a 8-5 job during the week, however I offer a predictable, well-structured routine for your pets. I provide whole week cat boarding at my quiet house, weekend pets house sitting, and dog walking service during early morning and evening hours. I also offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs right before and after my work shift and during lunch break if needed. You can count on me for reliable feeding schedules, timely medication, and dedicated quality time when your pet needs it most. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in your house, my priority is always making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, I provide a cozy, calm environment where cats can relax, play, and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles-just like they would with their own family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress free for their pets. I’m attentive to their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs. Most importantly, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d want someone to give to my own pets.
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.
“Lyra was amazing house sitting for us! Not only did we get daily updates on our shy kitty who loved her and warmed to her almost instantly, but Lyra also went above and beyond when a record breaking flood hit Ottawa while we were away- working extra hard than expected to help keep our flooding basement under control and items free from damage. Couldn’t be more grateful! Place was also left spotless, and a happy kitty waiting for us. Would love to book again for all house sittings ☺️☺️”


“Ramona did a great job looking after our pets. They were happy and calm when we returned. We received lots of updates on how they were going at home. I really appreciated the communication so that I could relax knowing my babies were well looked after. Thank you Ramona, you cared for our pups & cat like they were your own. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my ability to tailor to each pet’s unique personality and needs. The animals care is my top priority Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around pets’ needs, making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins are consistent and never rushed. I enjoy building my schedule in a way that keeps pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for. I provide personalized in-home pet care, including daily walks and attentive care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Metcalfe
Nelly and Laura took care of our two (sensitive, shy) cats for five days, staying overnight. They were excellent at communicating with us throughout, sending us regular updates and lots of pictures. They also were responsive to our cats being shy (taking them food in their hiding spots, and not pushing too hard when they did not want to interact), and we came back to our place being clean and organized, which was nice after being away. We would recommend them!
