“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 :)”
“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”
“My dog‘s vacation at Lynda‘s was amazing and if I could give a higher rating I would. I got daily updates, photos, and videos. My girl was pampered and received so much attention. A beautiful, clean home with well-behaved resident dogs. Great fenced backyard. I will definitely book here again 🐾”
“Another fantastic stay at Cindy’s! This is the third time she has watched Edie and we very pleased. It’s a great chance for our city dog to have the benefits of farm life. She gives the dogs excellent and individual care. I highly recommend her.”
“I couldn’t speak more highly of Nicole and Eddie! I left my fur baby with them for 3 nights! I received many daily updates including pictures and videos! My baby made a new friend with their beautiful pup and I could not be more happy with my experience!! I will most certainly be booking with Eddie and Nicole in the future!! THANK YOU!!!”
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.
“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..”
“Cristina clearly took great care of our cat. He came back groomed and in a much better mood than when we’ve had to board him in the past. Cristina was lovely and responsive and gave us lots of updates while we were away. We will absolutely be looking to book with Cristina again.”
“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! ❤️”
“Daniel, Sarah & the kids are simply amazing!! We are repeated clients and I can’t say enough how much we appreciate the care and attention our dog receives at each stay! They are constantly sharing updates, which makes our trips more enjoyable just by knowing that our dog is also having a great time.”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Amazing stay for our fur baby he was relaxed and so content from his stay! Lei took excellent care of Zeus kept us posted sent us videos and pictures we were very pleased and assured our little guy was in good hands. Lei even went out of her way to return the feeder bowls I forgot at pick up she drove them over. Honestly amazing 👏 thanks so much for having Zeus”
“Our dog has stayed with Kristina twice now. The latest visit was for 9 days. Although it had been months since her last visit, our dog Ruby, walked excitedly right up to Kristina’s house when we arrived. Kristina is excellent to communicate with and always quick to respond. She provided regular updates, pictures and kept Ruby busy. Ruby came home very happy. I also get the feeling that Kristina’s dog Jax is also a very good companion and made our dog’s time away from home easier to handle. I would highly recommend Kristina to others.”
“Every time Nelly goes to Jacqueline and Jamie’s, she is treated so well and cared after with love! She gets her play time with the other dogs, lots of cuddles, and we always appreciate the photo and video updates they send. These are the many reasons why we will always let Jacqueline and Jamie look after Nelly on a monthly basis, she is already excited to go back again!”
“Akansha took a great care of our pet. She shared regular status and the pics showed that our pet adjusted very well and was completely enjoying the short stay there. The happiness on his face showed how well she took care him. Akansha is a great find for us, keep up the good work Akansha”

“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”
“Trudy did a fantastic job! The kitties were very well taken care of and they barely knew I was gone. Lol she is a great communicator and was able to send me lots of pictures and video. It makes such a big difference to see those when you’re missing them but can see that they’re good.”
“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 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 :)
“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 had cats since I was little, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently don’t have any of my own, which honestly just makes me miss spending time with them even more. I’m comfortable with different personalities, from super social cats to more shy or independent ones, and I know how important patience and routine are for them. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats and making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after.
About: I've been a cat lover and owner for over 20 years. I love having dogs in our home, playing and taking walks in our local neighborhood. I work from home full time and would love extra company. I'm looking to gain more hands on experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly cats. A large house that is warm and loving. Live close to parks for walks and exploring.
“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’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: 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:)
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 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: 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.

“Kate was fabulous with my little Chai today. She was very caring and followed my instructions. She sent me updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. Chai was obviously very comfortable with Kate and she came home calm and tired. I will absolutely leave Chai with Kate again.”
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: 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: I’ve had pets my whole life, from playful pups to independent cats, so I know every personality is different—and I love them all. My own pets are spoiled (and yes, they know it), and I bring that same care, attention, and affection to every animal I watch. I make sure each visit is safe, fun, and tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that means a long walk, extra playtime, or just some cozy snuggles. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s quirks and creating a routine that makes them feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate drop in visits, dog walking, and doggy (or kitty!) day care in your home or mine I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness, and I’m flexible to meet their specific needs and routines. I have a spacious, open property for walks and playtime, and my energetic 65 lbs dog loves making new friends—perfect for playdates if your dog enjoys company.
“Kind, caring, and excellent communication through throughout Indigo’s stay. Photos were wonderful to ease my mind- Indigo was in great hands (and having a great time!). I appreciate the responses to my many questions, and also that last minute request being honoured. It really helped me out in the pinch! Wish I lived closer to leverage Cindy’s care for Indie more often :)”
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.
“I wish there was more then five stars to give because I would give Jacqueline and Jamie 10, they were so professional and you can tell that they love taking care of pets, regular updates were given without me asking how our pup was doing, they had him out for many walks and had lots of play time with him, they were just so amazing I was blown away how great they were. I will definitely be bringing our golden pup for daycare with them again.”
“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.”
About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.
About: We are full hearted dog lovers. We have three dogs of our own who are all well socialized and love meeting new friends both big and small. We have Hercules the 13 year old Chihuahua, Finnegan the 7 year old Jack Russell/ beagle mix, and DeeDee the year and half Rhodesian Ridgeback. We usually have an extra friend as we foster dogs through a rescue group, Rat terrier rescue of Canada. We love walking into a full house :) we have a big yard that is fully fenced, As well as trails and acreage to walk through. We offer a very relaxed, laid back setting for your pup. There will be times of play but all my dogs are respectful of space and will never push a friend to play with them. They have free range of the house and we share all the furniture, bed included 😉😊. When you go on vacation, we do our best to make your fur baby feel like they are on vacation as well. We also send you picture updates to reassure you that your family member is safe and having a great time meeting new friends :) Between my work schedule ( part time) and my husbands work schedule( full time) , someone is always home with your family member to ensure a happy, cozy, experience for them. We do our best to make them feel like they are at home and try to help ease the transition of leaving you with affection, treats, play and walks. Fenced in yard to keep them safe outside.
“Laura is very accommodating! She shows genuine care for animals. Our dog was shown a lot of love and attention. I’m sure he had lots of activity as he came home ready for bed. Definitely 💯 recommend Laura!”
“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!”
“Maggie had a great time at Sarah's house and came home nice and tired! Sarah was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. We've already scheduled another day of daycare.”
“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 😁”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lei! Our French Bulldog, Nunu, absolutely loved staying with her. What impressed us most was how Lei took the time to understand Nunu’s personality and created a care plan that really suited her needs. Whether it was her daily routine, playtime, or quiet time, everything was personalized. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Nunu was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate the thoughtful and professional care. Highly recommended!”
“Alaina was amazing she gave frequent updates with pictures, our golden retriever puppy had a great time with her pup, he was tired from having so much fun and playing all day, I felt comfortable that he was in good hands the moment I met her, we will definitely will be using her again for daycare for our pup.”
“Olga took great care of our dog. We could see that she was affectionate with her, took her for walks and really looked after her well. We look forward to bringing her back and trust Olga to continue to take good care of her.”

“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.

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: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior animals. I’ve owned and cared for dogs, bunnies, chickens, and geese, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’ve also worked alongside dog trainers with my own dogs, which has helped me learn more about handling, behaviour, and building trust with animals. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work part-time at Roots, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. I’m reliable with routines and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to keep them comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and any other care they’re used to. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and focused on making your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and started walking and caring for pets at a young age. I can guarantee that I will love and care for your pet more than anyone else would. I am currently waiting to start my new job which only starts at the end of this summer so I have a bunch of free time! I will fit in as much of pet care into my schedule as possible! I myself have a dog with extreme anxiety so I am experienced with all types of pets. I will assure your dog feels comfortable in all types of environments with my expertise.
About: I am an experienced pet owner with dogs and cats, as well as volunteer regularly at the shelters. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including rescues. I understand canine body language, routine and the importance of safe, compassionate and reliable care. I currently work from home, but I am happy to provide late morning to early afternoon pet care for you and your pets during the week, be that potty break and lunch or playing in the backyard. I am happy to accommodate what suits you and your pup best. If you are in need of more of a pet sitting scenario during the day for up to 5 hours please feel free to message me. I provide safe, and efficient play, walk relief, potty breaks or lunch time to working parents so their dogs have during the day interaction. Be that taking them for a walk in the neighbourhood or playing with them in their backyard whatever would suit your dogs personality and activity requirements best.
About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.
“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: 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: 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: 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: 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 :)”
“Another fantastic stay at Cindy’s! This is the third time she has watched Edie and we very pleased. It’s a great chance for our city dog to have the benefits of farm life. She gives the dogs excellent and individual care. I highly recommend her.”
“I couldn’t speak more highly of Nicole and Eddie! I left my fur baby with them for 3 nights! I received many daily updates including pictures and videos! My baby made a new friend with their beautiful pup and I could not be more happy with my experience!! I will most certainly be booking with Eddie and Nicole in the future!! THANK YOU!!!”
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.
“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..”
“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! ❤️”
“Daniel, Sarah & the kids are simply amazing!! We are repeated clients and I can’t say enough how much we appreciate the care and attention our dog receives at each stay! They are constantly sharing updates, which makes our trips more enjoyable just by knowing that our dog is also having a great time.”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“Every time Nelly goes to Jacqueline and Jamie’s, she is treated so well and cared after with love! She gets her play time with the other dogs, lots of cuddles, and we always appreciate the photo and video updates they send. These are the many reasons why we will always let Jacqueline and Jamie look after Nelly on a monthly basis, she is already excited to go back again!”
“We can’t thank the Kristen and Shady enough for the amazing care they provided Ollie during our trip! They welcomed him into their home with such warmth and kindness, treating him like one of their own. When we picked him up, Ollie looked so happy and pleasantly tired, a clear sign he had a fantastic time filled with play and affection. Their attentiveness and love for animals gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for their generosity and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you for making Ollie’s stay so special!”
“Duke had a wonderful time! He was treated like family with all the attention he was used to getting at home. We got lots of updates and the communication was great. Thanks again! Perfect stay!”
“It’s the first time I left my dog for a few days with a dog sitter so I was nervous about it. Jason and Jocelyn were great and took good care of him. Billie had lots of love from them. He had friends to play with and keep him company as well. Thank you 😊”
“This was our first time leaving Maya with a non family member and being a nervous dog was concerned especially as we were planning a 2 week away. We set up an initial meet and greet which immediately went well and followed by 1 overnight “test run”. In all cases Maya seemed very comfortable and Michael was attentive and provided updates. During our 2 weeks away we got daily updates and pictures and could see that Maya was doing well and in good hands. The peace of mind this gave us while away was so reassuring. We will definitely call on Michael again for our next time away with no hesitation.”
“Thank you so much for the excellent care of our dog! I felt lucky to find them and they seem happy to care for our dog like we do. :) She is a somewhat anxioius dog and they were so understanding. We got daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book again!”
“I’m so happy with the care Kristina provided for Gigi over the long weekend! From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with pets. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Gigi was in such good hands. Kristina kept me updated regularly and went above and beyond to make sure Gigi was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Kristina and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Leaving our beloved basset hound behind while we went away is never easy, but having Laura look after her turned what could have been a stressful situation into complete peace of mind. From the start, Laura was incredibly conscientious and attentive, sending regular updates and photos that reassured us our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy. What really stood out was the level of care and effort Laura put into each day. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise, fresh air, and opportunities to socialize. Our basset hound can be a bit stubborn at times, but Laura clearly understands dogs and took the time to engage with her patiently and thoughtfully. It honestly felt less like simple dog sitting and more like sending our dog to a figurative “dog spa,” where she was pampered with attention, activity, and affection. Coming home to a relaxed, content, and well-exercised dog said it all. Laura treated our dog like family, and that level of care is priceless when you’re away. We would absolutely use Laura again without hesitation and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog minder.”
“Melody and the family were amazing with my pup. They were very accommodating and the booking process was very easy. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress-free with my pup in their care as I was getting constant updates and pictures of him having a blast with the family. I recommend their services and will for sure book with them again!”
“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!”
“It was our second time having our dog babysat by Jessica and Alex and it was a perfect experience! They're lovely people and the dog comes home happy and tired from lots of playing! We'll definitely be bringing our dog back next time we're out of town !”
