“Trudy is so wonderful and caring! It gave us such comfort to know how well cared for our dog was and to receive regular updates while we were away. Thank you, Trudy! Our pup is looking forward to her next visit :)”
About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.
“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”
“Nicole and Eddie were wonderful with Daisy. They gave her lots of loving attention, took her on many walks with their dog, Keyser. They also took her to the pet store and had other activities planned for her during her stay. Keyser and Daisy get along well and are a good match for each other. We felt very confident leaving Daisy with Nicole and Eddie while we were on vacation, and loved the photos they sent us showing Daisy was having lots of fun.”
“Ashley treated Rooster like family the minute she met him. Her communication, understanding, flexibility and professional is top tier! She saved us when we were in a pinch and made Rooster feel right at home! Thank you!”
“Molson was very well taken care by Lynda. Lynda is very responsive and provided plenty of updates throughout Molson’s stay with her. She keeps the dogs very clean and did the same for Molson too. Over all our experience with Lynda was extremely positive and would have no issues leaving Molson with her in the future. Thanks again Lynda!”
“Absolutely fantastic. Lovely woman who has the patience of a saint. My dog had diarrhea unfortunately and she was so kind and understanding of my old boy. Promptly kept me updated and asked questions before doing anything. Super amazing”
“I felt very confident leaving my cat with Cristina for a week. Kitty was very content and well cared for while we were gone and came home very content and unfazed and settled right back seamlessly. This is our second time with Cristina and we will definitely be back. Thank you Cristina!”
“Cindy was much more than we could ever ask for. She is so kind, caring and loving with the dogs. She sends videos and pictures as updates which are lovely to receive and her property is a beautiful place for the dogs to run and play. We knew that Jasper had a great time when he didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much, Cindy!! We really appreciate the love and care that you gave Jasper!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Thank you Hui for sharing your home with Piper. We loved getting all the video updates while we were away. We’re also pretty sure Piper thought she was at Doggie Summer Camp with how much fun she had. Special thanks for added attention and care during extra hot summer days.”
“Johanna is a kind and incredibly reliable dog watcher who truly treats pets like family. Cosmo needs a bit of time to trust new people, and she gave him the space, calm energy & gentle reassurance he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing she respected his personality, made him feel safe and comfortable. He was relaxed, well‑fed and happy when we picked him up. We are very grateful and will happily book with her again.”
“Radish had a great time! She was well cared for and enjoyed her mini vacation as much as we enjoyed ours knowing she was well taken care of! This warm home gave her lots of exercise and cuddles and was clearly interested in providing the best possible care…highly recommend!”
“Kirstin and Justin were amazing with my dog! They sent multiple daily photo updates and even coordinated a meeting one week prior to our booking to ensure a smooth stay. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.
“Sarah cared for our two dogs over the August long weekend and we were so happy with how it went!! She sent pictures and updates regularly and showed us what a great time our pooches we’re having with her and her dogs! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future :) Thanks Sarah!!”
“I cannot recommend Jackie and Jamie enough! Charlie had the best time with them in a truly loving and fun environment. It was like a vacation for him, filled with affection and plenty of furry friends to play with. Jackie sent tons of pictures with lots of updates to help me know how Charlie was settling in. We will definitely be back!”
“We were a bit nervous leaving our 10.5yr old Lab, 1. because she is getting older, stubborn, and occasionally "whiny", and 2. since she hasn't even been in a kennel since before COVID. We met Allison and her daughter when we brought Darva for a first check suggested by Allison, that made sense to see if our dogs had innate antipathies,and could be civil with each other. All went well. A few days later we brought our dog over and left her while we had a day out of town. Allison sent us a picture of our dog to show that she was fine - and our dog was actually looking at the camera, which was unusual since she normally refuses when anyone points a "soul-sucker" in her direction, and turns her head away We found the care and the place good for our dog and know that Allison did all she could to alleviate any of our concerns..”
“Sylvie est douce, gentille et très attentionnée avec les animaux. Elle leur donne de l’affection, les fait jouer et s’assure que tous les besoins sont comblés. Excellente communication. On peut partir avec l’esprit tranquille. Son conjoint est également très gentil et ma chienne adorait aller s’asseoir avec lui.”
“I can’t recommend Lei enough! We started with a meet and greet near her place at the park. She was calm and super friendly. She asked all the right questions regarding my pup - what he likes, doesn’t like, his schedules, routines etc - all questions that indicate that she has his best interest at heart. Throughout my pup’s stay, she sent an abundance of updates with pictures. Ollie seemed super comfortable and well taken care of. So much so that I can tell he misses her now that he’s home with us! I will be picking Lei every single time from this point forward.”

“I met with Trudy before the booking to discuss Tallaulah's care and for Trudy to meet Tallulah. Tallualh was cared for, and Trudy treated our home in a respectful manner. I highly recommend Trudy.”
About: When I was 10 years old, I welcomed a beautiful chocolate lab pup into my home. She was my best friend until she passed away in September of 2025. Since her passing, I have felt a void in caring for and loving dogs. I work as a Bylaw enforcement officer in the City of Ottawa and work extensively with dogs, cats, and wildlife. Through my work experience I have met and cared for hundreds of different dogs with their own unique personalities and behaviours. Considering my personal life and work experience, I think potential clients and I would mutually benefit from me caring for and looking after their dogs. I work shift work on a staggered schedule, with my primary shifts being 6am until 5pm, and 3pm until 2am. I have several weekdays off when most people work, which is opportune for me to take care of their animals when needed. As a dog owner for 13 years, I learned how to make my pet comfortable, loved, and adapted to her needs. Through my work experience, this is has been strengthened further through interacting with dogs and animals that I did not previously know. I’m compassionate towards my love of dogs and I would love to care for and interact with more.
“When we met Kimberly for a meet and greet we felt comfortable instantly. You could tell she is very caring and loved our cats and our cats loved her. She was professional, reliable and kept the house and our pet areas just like we left them. We highly recommend her”
“Jenna took fantastic care of our 2 cats and she provided a bunch of photos during her visit! Super easy to communicate key drop off and collection aswell as a meet and greet before booking with her. I would strongly recommend Jenna as a pet sitter and we will be booking with her in the future too!”
About: 🐱I adore the company of our feline friends and seek to create a purr-fectly comfortable space for them. I grew up with a cat of my own and with my background in nannying and a love for following care instructions, your cat is in capable and caring hands.
About: I have owned dogs all of my life, and I have had the privilege to also take care of other people's furry loved ones since I was very young. From dogs and cats, to guinea pigs and rats, and even horses and donkeys, I have been lucky enough to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am a devoted animal lover at heart, and always look for ways to incorporate more furbabies into my life! I have extensive experience with client services such as dog walking, dog grooming, dog/cat boarding, and animal socialization. My furdaughter Rosie Posey, is a very sassy but sweet little Corgi, that demands the utmost attention and care, so I am no stranger to dogs with high needs and spirited personalities! Rosie is itching to make new fur-friends and would love to welcome new pupper and kitter pals to our humble home (sharing only the best toys and spots to play at the parks around the neighborhood). I am equipped and happy to handle puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs or particular requirements. As a service standard, I guarantee that your furbaby will have 1 on 1 attention, oodles of social time, extensive exercise, and constant care. I also provide regular photo and video updates, because you deserve peace of mind, and your furbaby deserves a great time! I am lucky enough to work entirely from home, and only 4 days a week (Tuesday-Friday). This affords me wonderful work/life balance, and the flexibility to be there for your furbaby always, taking multiple park, walk, and play breaks throughout the day. As a daily standard, Rosie and I will visit our neighborhood park at least twice a day to socialize and play, on top of going on several walks in between, and playing at home. Calling the Glebe home, I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful, safe, and animal friendly neighborhoods in the city. Though I live in a one-bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of a small high-rise, my home is very cozy and welcoming (especially for dogs and cats!). I have a beautiful outdoor balcony space with a wonderful view for furpals to relax on, and a spacious indoor area with multiple dog beds, lots of dog toys, and a pet friendly couch and king bed (I have a corgi-approved ramp for access). Your furbabies will feel right at home with Rosie and have a pal to play and lounge with at all times. Additionally, my neighbourhood is surrounded by safe walking paths, and extensive green park spaces, featuring multiple dog parks within a few minutes walk, and a very friendly dog community (Rosie will make the proper introductions to her best pals). Rest-assured that your furbaby will be in a stimulating, yet safe environment, and get lots of exercise and social time!
About: Hi, I'm April! I've been a dog and cat Mom for over 15 years. My husband and I rescue senior smaller dogs as well as foster for Marshall's Dog Rescue and CCRT Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport. I have a ton of experience with medication, injections as well as special needs. My goal is to always make sure whatever animal I am currently looking after that they feel loved and safe. I am the pack leader and even if an animal has behavioral issues, I can deal with whatever is thrown at me. I look forward to working with you and building a positive, trusting relationship. I have references if you are interested. Thanks so much and give all your fur babies some love from me :)
About: I have hands-on experience caring for many types of pets through friends, roommates, and clients. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of each pet’s routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter care, walks, medication reminders, and providing a consistent, and safe environment. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I keep a flexible schedule and make sure I have time set aside for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pet. I’m reliable, patient, and always communicate clearly about availability. I maintain a safe, controlled environment by closely following your instructions and monitoring your pet’s behaviour. I’m experienced with various home setups and always ensure pets feel secure and cared for.
About: I’ve had kittens, senior cats, and even 10-day-old kittens that needed around-the-clock bottle feeding, so I’m very comfortable with cats at every stage (and every mood)! I’ve grown up with cats my entire life, and my fur babies are truly my pride and joy. I understand that every cat has their own personality - from cuddly lap lovers to independent little observers - and I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, litter care, or just keeping them company, I treat every cat like they’re my own. And of course… expect plenty of cute photo updates of your kitty living their best life!
“Alecia took wonderful care of my cats! She was friendly and considerate and kept me informed about how it was going. I loved seeing pictures at each check in and was amazed at how my shy boy even warmed up to her. I would absolutely recommend Alecia and would rebook her without hesitation!”
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I started within my own household and once I was old enough I started dog walking after school, into adulthood I have taken my fair share of dog sitting jobs and walking when I have had the chance. I have some spare time now that I’d like to fill with surrounding myself with animals again. I work part time, and on my days off I’m looking for a Job that brings me happiness, so no better way than surrounding myself with fur babies and helping support them when their parents are busy. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, animals have a very special place in my heart and they deserve the best care possible.
“Un de nos chiens est très vieux et j’avais quelques craintes de partir de la maison. Alys-Mia a été formidable! Elle nous a tenu au courant lors de ses visites (photos/messages) et a pris en considération les différents besoins de Théo et de Gustave. Nous ne pouvions demander mieux et nous avons pu profiter de notre escapade l’esprit en paix. Merci Alys-Mia!”
About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hello, my name is Shanna. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have been asked by many friends and family over the years to pet sit for them while they are away and have always enjoyed it. I would treat your pet as my own and have a total appreciation for how you would expect your babies to be loved and cared for during the the times you can't. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I currently work 9-4 during week days, with weekends off. I do morning and evening walks during work days. If your dog is used to work hours, I would be with them morning, night and weekends. I currently have one other dog in my home. If your dog is comfortable with other animals and having me take your dog as opposed to house sit at your place, I have a fenced in yard perfect for it.
About: I offer services in West Ottawa area and Barrhaven. I have travelled as a pet sitter in Ontario, Alberta, BC and Colorado. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, crabs, fish, and frogs. House plants are great too I live in Stittsville, West Ottawa. I work 9-5 remotely so I love to travel within Canada. My work is flexible so I am able to walk your dogs around their own schedules I am reliable, confident and precise about pet care. Leave detailed instructions and everything else will be taken care of :) I look forward to falling in love with your fur baby!
About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in my care.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)

“I entrusted my Murphy to Kate for doggie daycare today. I know my dog very well and I must say after bringing him back home, he misses her already. We kept in touch throughout the day to see how Murphy was doing. I felt like he was in good hands the entire time. I won't hesitate to call upon Kate to watch him again or to board him if I need to leave for a longer time frame.”
About: I love animals and enjoy every moment with them. My dream is to be able to have a rescue as all four of my animals are from rescues. I have decreased my hours at work to be back home more due to the rising cost of gas. I have more time to take on these duties. Every situation is different. You respect the same trust and safety for every pet weather is yours or someone else's. For dogs always leashed as you never know the situation of a pet.

About: About Ricardo I have over 8 years of experience as a dog sitter, walker and Behaviorist in Mexico. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had a natural ability to understand and connect with them. Over 10 years ago, when my dog Horchata joined my life, she was energetic and needed guidance. I took a diploma in Spain to learn how to help her become balanced and confident. Later, friends began asking me to care for their dogs while they travelled, and they were impressed to see how their pets improved after staying with me for a few weeks. That experience motivated me to dedicate my life to dog care, something I enjoy. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. This role gives me hands-on experience with routines, enrichment, feeding, safety, and observing behavior changes. I have availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care and/or for a great walk. Although I live in an apartment, I know the value of frequent walks and I take them seriously. I stay attentive to each dog’s needs and adapt to their routine and personality. I’m available every day and almost all the time since I work from home, which makes this the perfect activity for me. I recently left a two-year job to dedicate myself fully to pet care again. Although I live in an apartment, I know how important frequent walks are, and I take them seriously. I always stay attentive to each dog’s needs and can easily adapt to every pup’s routine and personality.
“You know when you go somewhere and you feel at ease immediately? We'll that is the exact feeling we had arriving at Cindy's. She was friendly, transparent, calm and easygoing. Loved the whole vibe. The place is beautiful and Pancho roamed about as if he already knew the place. Pancho will definitely be back soon 😀.”
“Melissa was so easy to work with! She was okay with a last minute booking and flexible about having to adjust pick up time! She was so kind to interact with! She was handed 2 dogs and navigated it with ease and no complaints! Will be back!”
About: I am a dog loving person who decided to offer dog boarding because when I was in need of a dog sitter, I was referred to this site. Being new to the area, I would love to help other dog parents in need. Wilbur, our fur baby, loves all dogs. I live two blocks from the water front and many parks around. I work from home so there will always be someone here to keep the fur babies company. Guaranteed 2-3 long walks per day. I have a studio apartment so only able to take small to medium size dogs at this time.
“We were very thankful for Nicole and Eddie’s availability on short notice when we needed to go out of town for the day. Both Teaka and Ciera were so excited when we arrived and they were very happy with their stay. They treated our girls like their own which put our minds at ease. I would totally recommend their services.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are wonderful with our 1 year old goldendoodle, Jags. The drop off and pickup are fantastic and they make the whole experience stress-free. Jags gets lots of exercise and playtime and Jacqueline provides regular updates throughout the stay. We’re so grateful knowing that our Jags is in such good hands with Jaqueline and Jamie!”
“Bella had so much fun at Wanita’s house. She got to play with other dog friends, got lots of walks, got to play at the beach and got tons of cuddles. What more could a she-puppy ask for? We found Wanita to be very engaged and responsive. She took detailed notes on our instructions and asked relevant questions. Our wishes were respected in all ways and Wanita was eager to discuss our training methods. Bella will definitely be back to visit Wanita soon.”
“Laura was wonderful! I was very impressed by the thoroughness of her questions during our "meet and greet" visit. Laura was so aware and attentive to my senior dog Tyson's needs during his day spent with her. Looking forward to our next visit!”

“My pup spent the day with Jennifer and her husband. Both of them love dogs and you feel that immediately. I felt secure that my pup would be well taken care of, and as a bonus, I got pictures and updates on how he was doing! I will definitely book with them again soon!”
“Kristina was great with Zaya! She sent lots of updates and pictures and I could feel she is a good and loving person as Zaya was quite happy to go back in our second day care! Kristina was amazing, very communicative and flexible. Zaya and her dog Jax got along really well too so that was a bonus! I recommend her and for sure will book it again, thanks Kristina 😁”
“Lei is a reliable and friendly sitter. Was great with communication and is very responsible. Took great care of our dog and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Keva got to spend a day with Alaina and a few of her furry friends while the parents were at an event. Keva came home tired and happy. How wonderful that she was able to play with new friends instead of staying home alone. We have already booked with Alaina again!”

About: I love animals and enjoy every moment with them. My dream is to be able to have a rescue as all four of my animals are from rescues. I have decreased my hours at work to be back home more due to the rising cost of gas. I have more time to take on these duties. Every situation is different. You respect the same trust and safety for every pet weather is yours or someone else's. For dogs always leashed as you never know the situation of a pet.
About: About Ricardo I have over 8 years of experience as a dog sitter, walker and Behaviorist in Mexico. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had a natural ability to understand and connect with them. Over 10 years ago, when my dog Horchata joined my life, she was energetic and needed guidance. I took a diploma in Spain to learn how to help her become balanced and confident. Later, friends began asking me to care for their dogs while they travelled, and they were impressed to see how their pets improved after staying with me for a few weeks. That experience motivated me to dedicate my life to dog care, something I enjoy. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. This role gives me hands-on experience with routines, enrichment, feeding, safety, and observing behavior changes. I have availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care and/or for a great walk. Although I live in an apartment, I know the value of frequent walks and I take them seriously. I stay attentive to each dog’s needs and adapt to their routine and personality. I’m available every day and almost all the time since I work from home, which makes this the perfect activity for me. I recently left a two-year job to dedicate myself fully to pet care again. Although I live in an apartment, I know how important frequent walks are, and I take them seriously. I always stay attentive to each dog’s needs and can easily adapt to every pup’s routine and personality.

About: Hi, I’m Jenna! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently have two senior cats and a 5 year old German Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets at all stages of life. At 21, I founded a local animal rescue called The Avery Foundation. During my 5 years volunteering there, I gained hands-on experience administering medication, working with aggressive or feral cats and dogs, and caring for senior pets with more complex needs. I’m confident handling all types of animal personalities and situations, and not much fazes me! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m down to earth, friendly, and a quick learner. I have previous experience pet sitting on Rover and am excited to start taking on new clients again!

I currently have open availability and am looking to take on several new clients and fill spots, providing reliable and caring pet services. I am flexible and can work around your schedule! To ensure your pet’s safety and comfort, I always ask for detailed instructions regarding their routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medications, dietary requirements, and any specific dos and don’ts. This helps me provide consistent, personalized care and gives you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Alecia is great! Lily is high energy but she is very happy and tired out by the time Alecia brings her home. She even looks out for my cat Kiki when they go for walks! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hi, I'm April! I've been a dog and cat Mom for over 15 years. My husband and I rescue senior smaller dogs as well as foster for Marshall's Dog Rescue and CCRT Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport. I have a ton of experience with medication, injections as well as special needs. My goal is to always make sure whatever animal I am currently looking after that they feel loved and safe. I am the pack leader and even if an animal has behavioral issues, I can deal with whatever is thrown at me. I look forward to working with you and building a positive, trusting relationship. I have references if you are interested. Thanks so much and give all your fur babies some love from me :)
About: I have owned dogs all of my life, and I have had the privilege to also take care of other people's furry loved ones since I was very young. From dogs and cats, to guinea pigs and rats, and even horses and donkeys, I have been lucky enough to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am a devoted animal lover at heart, and always look for ways to incorporate more furbabies into my life! I have extensive experience with client services such as dog walking, dog grooming, dog/cat boarding, and animal socialization. My furdaughter Rosie Posey, is a very sassy but sweet little Corgi, that demands the utmost attention and care, so I am no stranger to dogs with high needs and spirited personalities! Rosie is itching to make new fur-friends and would love to welcome new pupper and kitter pals to our humble home (sharing only the best toys and spots to play at the parks around the neighborhood). I am equipped and happy to handle puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs or particular requirements. As a service standard, I guarantee that your furbaby will have 1 on 1 attention, oodles of social time, extensive exercise, and constant care. I also provide regular photo and video updates, because you deserve peace of mind, and your furbaby deserves a great time! I am lucky enough to work entirely from home, and only 4 days a week (Tuesday-Friday). This affords me wonderful work/life balance, and the flexibility to be there for your furbaby always, taking multiple park, walk, and play breaks throughout the day. As a daily standard, Rosie and I will visit our neighborhood park at least twice a day to socialize and play, on top of going on several walks in between, and playing at home. Calling the Glebe home, I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful, safe, and animal friendly neighborhoods in the city. Though I live in a one-bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of a small high-rise, my home is very cozy and welcoming (especially for dogs and cats!). I have a beautiful outdoor balcony space with a wonderful view for furpals to relax on, and a spacious indoor area with multiple dog beds, lots of dog toys, and a pet friendly couch and king bed (I have a corgi-approved ramp for access). Your furbabies will feel right at home with Rosie and have a pal to play and lounge with at all times. Additionally, my neighbourhood is surrounded by safe walking paths, and extensive green park spaces, featuring multiple dog parks within a few minutes walk, and a very friendly dog community (Rosie will make the proper introductions to her best pals). Rest-assured that your furbaby will be in a stimulating, yet safe environment, and get lots of exercise and social time!
“When you're thinking who would be the dream person to take care of you pet, that's Derek. My dog is always thrilled to see him. He has proved to be completely reliable. Most importantly, Derek is full of genuine kindness and patience. He has my full trust, which i don't say lightly.”
About: I’ve had puppies, kittens, even 10-day-old kittens that needed around-the-clock bottle feeding and care, so I’m no stranger to the messy, adorable, and sometimes chaotic side of pet parenting! I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and my fur babies are truly my pride and joy. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family - whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. You can expect lots of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands I work from home during the week and have very flexible hours, so it's easy for me to accomadate your schedule to make your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible while you're gone. Other than Sunday morning church services, my weekends are completely open to you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible for them. I follow your pet’s routine closely - including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping your home clean and respected, leaving things exactly as I found them (or better!). As someone who has 3 cats who's main goal in life is to escape to the great outdoors (and fails every time), safety is always a top priority, so I stay alert on walks, secure doors and gates, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behaviour and well-being. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
About: Nice to meet you! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m responsible, communicative, and dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a full time job from 830am to 430pm on Mondays to Fridays. I am very flexible outside of those hours if you need someone trustworthy to watch over your pet. Your pet’s safety comes first. I always use secure leashes, check gates and doors, and keep a close eye on them. I know how important trust is, so I can send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy. I keep things calm, clean, and cozy so your pet feels right at home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)

“Trudy is so wonderful and caring! It gave us such comfort to know how well cared for our dog was and to receive regular updates while we were away. Thank you, Trudy! Our pup is looking forward to her next visit :)”
About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.
“Nicole and Eddie were wonderful with Daisy. They gave her lots of loving attention, took her on many walks with their dog, Keyser. They also took her to the pet store and had other activities planned for her during her stay. Keyser and Daisy get along well and are a good match for each other. We felt very confident leaving Daisy with Nicole and Eddie while we were on vacation, and loved the photos they sent us showing Daisy was having lots of fun.”
“Absolutely fantastic. Lovely woman who has the patience of a saint. My dog had diarrhea unfortunately and she was so kind and understanding of my old boy. Promptly kept me updated and asked questions before doing anything. Super amazing”
“Cindy was much more than we could ever ask for. She is so kind, caring and loving with the dogs. She sends videos and pictures as updates which are lovely to receive and her property is a beautiful place for the dogs to run and play. We knew that Jasper had a great time when he didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much, Cindy!! We really appreciate the love and care that you gave Jasper!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Radish had a great time! She was well cared for and enjoyed her mini vacation as much as we enjoyed ours knowing she was well taken care of! This warm home gave her lots of exercise and cuddles and was clearly interested in providing the best possible care…highly recommend!”
“Kirstin and Justin were amazing with my dog! They sent multiple daily photo updates and even coordinated a meeting one week prior to our booking to ensure a smooth stay. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.
“Sarah cared for our two dogs over the August long weekend and we were so happy with how it went!! She sent pictures and updates regularly and showed us what a great time our pooches we’re having with her and her dogs! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future :) Thanks Sarah!!”
“I cannot recommend Jackie and Jamie enough! Charlie had the best time with them in a truly loving and fun environment. It was like a vacation for him, filled with affection and plenty of furry friends to play with. Jackie sent tons of pictures with lots of updates to help me know how Charlie was settling in. We will definitely be back!”
“We were a bit nervous leaving our 10.5yr old Lab, 1. because she is getting older, stubborn, and occasionally "whiny", and 2. since she hasn't even been in a kennel since before COVID. We met Allison and her daughter when we brought Darva for a first check suggested by Allison, that made sense to see if our dogs had innate antipathies,and could be civil with each other. All went well. A few days later we brought our dog over and left her while we had a day out of town. Allison sent us a picture of our dog to show that she was fine - and our dog was actually looking at the camera, which was unusual since she normally refuses when anyone points a "soul-sucker" in her direction, and turns her head away We found the care and the place good for our dog and know that Allison did all she could to alleviate any of our concerns..”
“Farley had a fantastic stay. Jocelyn & Jason were wonderful to deal with and very friendly. They truly seemed to enjoy having our doggy visit and were very accommodating to our plans changing. Highly recommend!”
“Shelley is THE BEST! Bella loves her, her family, and the doggy friends she made there. I’ve used Shelley twice now and I couldn’t be happier with the care, the comms, the pics, etc. Shelley even follows up with me to see how Bella is feeling after noticing she wasn’t her best. Highly recommend.”
“My Buster always has a blast at Melody and Scott’s. He loooves them and they spoil him with long walks, many cuddles, and outings (my guy likes being included). I will for sure book again!”
“Nous étions tout aussi enthousiaste que la première fois de confier à Carolina l'hébergement de notre Frimousse (berger anglais énergétique de 2 ans 30 kg) pour deux séjours en novembre dernier. Manifestement la passion et l'énergie de Carolina ont clairement rendu le séjour de Frimousse agréable… eh oui il nous l’a dit! C’est toujours aussi rassurant pour nous de savoir que chez Carolina Frimousse sera aux petits soins…. Nous n’hésiterons de faire appel à Carolina dans le futur et recommandons ses excellents services.”
“Micheal and his family were very welcoming of our dog. It was a real last minute request and they were happy to take her in for a couple of nights! They were very attentive, comforting and sent us pictures and updates every day. We were very thankful for their help and hospitality! Highly recommend and would request their services again! :)”
“Qianzhi was very communicative and flexible with our changing drop off and pick off times. She sent lots of photos and videos showing Henry playing and enjoying time with the other dogs in her care.”
“Great! My dachshund loves it there. We did one night trial before the date and he had lots of fun. He stayed a week. I'd brought his bed, some toys. Got lots of updates. Marvin has a new BFF”
“Michelle and her family were absolutely great with Louis 😊 I had no worries at all while I was out of town. We got picture updates throughout the day. I would definitely be rebooking! Thank you again!”
