“Exceptional! Lynda provided such great care and attention to our 4 yr old Romeo. We were away for an extended vacation, the longest we had been separated from Romeo. Lynda, however, was so thoughtful and caring to send daily updates, photos and videos that we felt completely at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Lynda is very responsive and it’s obvious she genuinely cares for our fur baby. Lynda’s own three pups are simply adorable and welcomed Romeo into the pack and as such Romeo has started to improve his social skills and learning all about dog play. I cannot say enough good things about Lynda and her pups. She is a deeply caring person whose objective is to ensure our pup is given the best possible experience. Thank you Lynda, Hunter, Luna and Millie ♥️”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog and will definitely return. They have an amazing property and made my dog feel extremely at home while I was away. She got the experience to socialize with other pooches. They constantly provide updates which gave me loads of peace of mind! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!”
“Cosmo had a great time on his weekend stay with Nicole and Eddie. Once again they were great. Communication and accommodation was top notch. They clearly kept Cosmo busy with walks and playtime as he slept the whole day once he got home! We highly recommend Nicole and Eddie.”
“This was my first time using this service and boarding Trixie. Kim was absolutely phenomenal and accommodating. The booking was very last minute but she made it work. She sent me the most lovely message about Trixie which put my mind at ease while I was out of town. She also sent me photos of Trixie enjoying time with her family. I shared these photos with my children and they were so pleased that Trixie was in such good hands. I will definitely be using Kim again in the future.”
“Joan is so loving to my dog Simba. He was having a great time with her over the weekend and went on plenty of adventures with her! I'm afraid he might get bored with me at home now 😂. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby ❤️ I would definitely recommend!”
“I cannot thank Nilgun enough for her incredible care for my dog, Sabrina! Nilgun made logistics a breeze by organizing the initial drop-off at the beginning and then was readily available for the pick-up at the end of the sit. She was incredibly thorough and even asked for my flight information so she could perfectly time the pick-up. She was also available at any time if I had a question, and her communication was flawless, providing the most wonderful, consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. At just a year old, this was only Sabrina’s second time away from home, so I was naturally a bit anxious, but Nilgun fully understood Sabrina’s personality and quirks right away. It is so clear that we share the exact same philosophy when it comes to dog-rearing and creating a calm, loving atmosphere. Her own three dogs were absolutely exceptional—so well-mannered and beautifully behaved, which made for such a positive environment. Sabrina felt so safe that she was completely comfortable eating, finished every single one of her full meals and got the perfect amount of exercise. Nilgun even took the time to brush her, which was such a lovely touch. Seeing the photos of Sabrina relaxing on Nilgun’s bed on the very first night— the comfortable way she looked at her—proved how safe and content she felt and gave me instant peace of mind. She was genuinely happy, and I will absolutely book again! Highly recommended.”
“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! ❤️”
“Rodrigo and his family were wonderful with our dog! April was a little nervous at drop-off, but Rodrigo made sure she settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout her stay. He sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure she got her walks and meals on schedule. When we picked her up, she was happy and clearly well looked after. He was also flexible when we needed to shorten her stay by a night. Highly recommend Rodrigo for pet boarding we’ll definitely book with him again for April!”
“Our dig seemed to really love Lindsey’s place. Not sure if our dog really even wanted to come home! Lindsey’s place was clean and organized. She send photos during the weekend and updates! It was great. To be away and know the dog was in a loving and safe place. I would recommend Lindsey and use her next time we go away!”
“Micheal and family are very welcoming, friendly people who genuinely love dogs and know how to care for them. We had no concerns about leaving our pet with them for her first visit and she clearly settled in well and enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use their service again in the future. We give them a rating of 5 stars without any hesitation. John.”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Gus just had his second stay with Lei and the bond they have is beautiful. It is obvious that they understand each other and have a connection. Gus is very happy and feels safe when in her care. We are so lucky to have found someone who loves our Gus as much as we do.”
“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“Cali had another great stay with Michael, Natasha and family. At this point, she runs right in and makes herself right at home when we drop her off. Communication is always easy, and we get updates throughout Cali’s stay to let us know how she’s doing. When we needed to change around our dates for our trip, Michael was flexible and super easy to work with. We would highly recommend this family to take great care of your pet while you’re away.”
“What a great family experience for our fur baby! We were so happy about the experience from the word go. We would not hesitate to bring our girl back for more time with Meghan and John and family!”
About: As a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities, I provide reliable, compassionate pet care. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they’re comfortable, entertained, and well-loved during every visit. If your pet is used to being on their own during weekdays, with plenty of attention in the evening and on the weekend then our schedules will work well! I enjoy going on long walks, so if your dog loves to get out for a walk everyday (or on multiple walks) then we would make a great match! I treat every pup as if it were my own! This includes making sure no table food (especially if it’s not safe for dogs), feeding according to a schedule, and keeping a space clear of dangers. I live in a pet friendly building with green space to take your pup out (if you are boarding).
“Michelle is a kind, caring person who takes wonderful care of our dog! She always ensures to keep us in the loop with reports and pictures. We know our pup is in awesome hands and trust that he is happy and well while in her care.”
“Hui was AMAZING with Max. He had never been left before. She provided regular updates with pics, videos and messages. She asked advice on what he liked to eat and play with. She was very engaged. Her house is a dogs dream with easy access to toys and water. I HIGHLY recommend her services. So thankful to have found a warm home environment away from home. She treated Max like one of the family.”

“We are very satisfied with Kaela: immediate response time, excellent attention to detail, and great care and love to our kitty. It's reassuring to know someone in the neighborhood who will provide the best care to our pet. Thank you, Kaela!”
“Cadence is such a great and thoughtful sitter! We enjoyed the report cards immensely, and she went the extra mile in taking care of things during winter. Our cat just loved her, and it was a relief not to have to worry about things and just enjoy Christmas! This was our first time using Rover and she made it an absolute breeze. Your cat is in good hands with her ☺️”
“Rebeca has been great with spending time with my cat Buffy! Despite my cat being a bit timid and reclusive, Rebeca was very patient and made a lot of efforts to engage with her and win her trust, and was enthusiastic with sharing her experience with me.”
“Jenna is awesome! She takes fantastic care of my cats, they love her. She's reliable, a good communicator and I fully trust her to make decisions when I'm not there. Thank you Jenna!”
About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring something just as valuable: genuine love, patience, and dedication to animals. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, because they know I treat every furry (or feathered!) friend as if they were my own. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexibility for feeding, walks, and companionship. On the three days I commute to the office, I am still available before and after work, while weekends are fully open. This schedule ensures I can reliably meet the needs of pets and give them the care they deserve. I’m meticulous about safety and will keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved while you’re away.
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.
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
“Danika loves our cats and they love her back. She’s conscientious, takes excellent care of them and the house and sends updates often which I really appreciate. I never worry when she’s “on the job!””
“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi cat owners! I’m Haylie, I am a registered nurse and I love cats with a passion, (yes I have a knitted cat sweater). I grew up with multiple cats in my house my entire life and have not lived without them. I care for my own two cats Ash and Neville as well as family, friends, and neighbour's furry friends while they are away. I have experience with kittens as well as senior cats. I would love to drop in and give your cat or cats some attention until you return :)
“I asked Vannesa to take care of my cat a few times now. I felt good about leaving my cat in Vannesa's care each time. I also booked a few times last minute and I appreciated a lot the willingness to accommodate that. Great communication. As far I can tell, my cat received a lot of love each time (along with all the food, water, hygiene care <3 ). I'm likely to book again!”
About: My childhood cat had many litters of kittens, so I have been around cats a lot growing up. I did the usual responsibilities such as cleaning their litter boxes, feeding them, to the fun bonding experiences like playing with them with a laser pointer, to cuddling with them on the couch, to observing and playing with the kittens when they were really young. My cat was like my best friend. I had her for nearly 20 years and we were very close. She would always sleep with me when going to bed and whenever I was upset or having a hard day, she would come and find me and comfort me by staying with me.
About: While I haven’t worked with cats professionally, I’ve always loved them. I regularly spend time with my brother’s cat, who I help care for when he’s away. I’m familiar with the independent nature of cats, and I enjoy bonding with them through play, quiet companionship, and respecting their space. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well looked after in your absence.

“Daisy had another fun play day with Keyser. Nicole and Eddie give Daisy lots of attention and love which she thrives on. She came home one happy and tired pup :)”
“Sawyer has had a great start with Jacelyn and Jason. He has never had dog sitting before, and he has not spent a lot of time away from friends and family. With back to the office starting, we were looking for a solution and he has been really good so far. On his second visit when he hopped out of the car and realized where he was he went straight for the door, tail wagging which is a great sign. We plan to continue booking and working with them as care providers for Sawyer.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie have once again taken AMAZING care of Nelly! They are thoughtful and considerate people that truly care about the wellbeing of all the dogs they look after. Nelly is a tired, happy girl when we pick her up after day care and there is no doubt that she received so much love and attention in their care. I would recommend Jacqueline and Jamie to anyone in the area, your dog will be extremely lucky and well taken care of!”
“Rodrigo was an amazing dog sitter! I’m very happy with the care he provided for Milo. When I picked him up, Milo was calm, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which says a lot. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover living in Stittsville, Ottawa, and dogs have truly been my passion for as long as I can remember. I share my home with my own three well-socialized, crate-trained dogs and work mostly from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, company, and care throughout the day. I have a large, fully fenced, pie-shaped yard that’s safe, clean, and perfect for playtime. Dogs in my care are treated like family — they’re welcome to sleep freely in my bedroom with my dogs, have cozy pet beds, and follow a calm, loving routine. If your dog prefers or needs a crate, you’re welcome to bring one, and I’m happy to help with crate time when I step out. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, especially if you feel anxious about their care. My goal is to give you total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely having a great time. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am, and one day it’s my retirement dream. For now, I’m thrilled to offer a loving home-away-from-home for your pup. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat! I work 100% remote from home. I just go in and out for meetings and certain scheduling, but I’m rarely out of the house for longer than a few hours. Basically, aside from my job, dogs are my first priority and get the current attention. They need hourly if not minute by minute. I treat others dogs like I treat my own with love, warmth, and caring. I exercise the dogs daily and give them what they need to make sure that they’re tired out and before I ever leave the house for an hour or two if I need to, I make sure that they are let outside and that they’ve done their business so they don’t have to wait for me to get back.
“Enzo was comfortable very quickly with Judith. He was also very happy and content when picking him up. He sometimes takes some time to warm to new people but obviously felt very comfortable with Judith. Thank you!”
“Scottie had a great day. Alfie and Mango were waiting for her in the backyard when she arrived. She looks happy in all her pictures and she slept for a few hours when she got home! Thanks Ashley, Scottie will be back.”
About: **Starting March 24, 2026, Rover will be taking 40% of our service price (previously 30%), so I will need to increase my fees accordingly. Sorry everyone!** I have been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with boxers and now I have a very energetic golden retriever who is four years old. I have puppy training experience as well as senior dog care experience. I am an extremely reliable, responsible, and diligent person.

We’re grateful for the good care!”

“Jennifer was kind and warm at the meet & greet and, fortunately for me, was available to provide daycare on fairly short notice for my recently adopted older dog. I felt confident that Misty was in safe and caring hands. She came home tired and happy after a full day of fun and attention.”
“Exceptional sitter for our French Bulldog! He was welcomed and well cared for. We appreciate the updates during his stay. A wonderful experience and we look forward to future visits. Thank you!”
About: I have experience raising two dogs from puppyhood through to their senior years, providing consistent care and attention throughout their lives.

During the meet-and-greet, we can discuss and adapt any arrangements to best suit your dog's specific comfort and sleep preferences.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”
“First experience with Jean has been great. She was patient with Suma, who had a bit of anxiety when she arrived for day care, but she helped her settle well. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures I received to help me manage my own anxiety”
“Wonderful home to bring your pups to! The warmest couple that treated my dog Sunnie just as if she was their own. The property is beautiful and perfect for country living and a safe sanctuary for any pet. Sunnie came home happy and I will not hesitate to bring Sunnie back soon for another visit. She was in great hands!”

“Kimberley was amazing with my dog! I loved how she just fit him in with her life during the overnight stay. I know he was well cared for and pampered. I highly recommend Kimberley.”
“Kirstin & Justin walked Rhea twice while I was out of the house for an extra long work day. They were attentive to her needs, provided pupdates with photos, and were cared for her like she was their own. I was also appreciative that they took the time to meet her with me before their first solo walk so they could familiarize themselves with Rhea’s specific quirks/commands/temperament. 10/10! So grateful to have found trustworthy folks to care for my angel.”

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!

“Jacqueline and Jamie are amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog and will definitely return. They have an amazing property and made my dog feel extremely at home while I was away. She got the experience to socialize with other pooches. They constantly provide updates which gave me loads of peace of mind! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!”
“Cosmo had a great time on his weekend stay with Nicole and Eddie. Once again they were great. Communication and accommodation was top notch. They clearly kept Cosmo busy with walks and playtime as he slept the whole day once he got home! We highly recommend Nicole and Eddie.”
“I cannot thank Nilgun enough for her incredible care for my dog, Sabrina! Nilgun made logistics a breeze by organizing the initial drop-off at the beginning and then was readily available for the pick-up at the end of the sit. She was incredibly thorough and even asked for my flight information so she could perfectly time the pick-up. She was also available at any time if I had a question, and her communication was flawless, providing the most wonderful, consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. At just a year old, this was only Sabrina’s second time away from home, so I was naturally a bit anxious, but Nilgun fully understood Sabrina’s personality and quirks right away. It is so clear that we share the exact same philosophy when it comes to dog-rearing and creating a calm, loving atmosphere. Her own three dogs were absolutely exceptional—so well-mannered and beautifully behaved, which made for such a positive environment. Sabrina felt so safe that she was completely comfortable eating, finished every single one of her full meals and got the perfect amount of exercise. Nilgun even took the time to brush her, which was such a lovely touch. Seeing the photos of Sabrina relaxing on Nilgun’s bed on the very first night— the comfortable way she looked at her—proved how safe and content she felt and gave me instant peace of mind. She was genuinely happy, and I will absolutely book again! Highly recommended.”
“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! ❤️”
“Rodrigo and his family were wonderful with our dog! April was a little nervous at drop-off, but Rodrigo made sure she settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout her stay. He sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure she got her walks and meals on schedule. When we picked her up, she was happy and clearly well looked after. He was also flexible when we needed to shorten her stay by a night. Highly recommend Rodrigo for pet boarding we’ll definitely book with him again for April!”
“Our dig seemed to really love Lindsey’s place. Not sure if our dog really even wanted to come home! Lindsey’s place was clean and organized. She send photos during the weekend and updates! It was great. To be away and know the dog was in a loving and safe place. I would recommend Lindsey and use her next time we go away!”
“Micheal and family are very welcoming, friendly people who genuinely love dogs and know how to care for them. We had no concerns about leaving our pet with them for her first visit and she clearly settled in well and enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use their service again in the future. We give them a rating of 5 stars without any hesitation. John.”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“What a great family experience for our fur baby! We were so happy about the experience from the word go. We would not hesitate to bring our girl back for more time with Meghan and John and family!”
“Michelle is a kind, caring person who takes wonderful care of our dog! She always ensures to keep us in the loop with reports and pictures. We know our pup is in awesome hands and trust that he is happy and well while in her care.”
“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”
“Christopher est très aimable. Très réactif, envoie plusieurs photos. À l’écoute et semble aussi avoir beaucoup d’expérience avec les chiens, il propose de bon truc! Paco est revenu à la maison très calme, il a été bien dépensé chez Christopher!! Thank you again for your good care 🐶🐾🦴”
“Our boys had a great visit with Joanna! Our cat is very timid, but he settled in well. And our dog had a great time going for walks. Thank you, always great to know our friends were in good hands, happy and entertained 🙂”
“Emily and her family did an amazing job taking care of Laddie for 2 weeks while we were away. She sent pictures, videos, and updates often. Laddie was so happy meeting her and staying with her. Thank you so much!”
“We loved how Alaina communicated with us and how welcoming she is, a true home environment for our furry-not-so-baby-anymore. Nicolas enjoyed his time with Cowen and his family. Thanks!”
“Quianzhi was everything I could have asked for in a dog sitter, she is kind, gives plenty of updates, and clearly knows dogs very well. It was mine and my pups first experience with boarding, and I was very worried how he’d adjust, but there was no need. Will absolutely be booking again!”
