“Highly Recommend! Lynda went above and beyond with our little 4 year old Coton de Tulear. It is evident Lynda recognized how precious he is to us and she made him feel like one of her own. From ensuring he had his allergy meds to offering him sleeping options to make him feel at home to cuddles and play time, we now feel we have found the best pet sitter for our pup. Lynda’s own three lovely and well behaved dogs are a perfect match with our dog and this added yet another level of fun and exercise to Romeo’s experience. Lynda even washed cuddle blankets and food containers we had sent along and totally spoiled Romeo with a new toy ball that came home with him. Lynda is very responsive and regularly sent photos and videos. We felt completely at ease knowing Romeo was in the hands of such a caring and capable family. 5 Stars for Lynda!”
“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! ❤️”
“We greatly appreciated Jocelyn and Jason's care for our dog, Jasper, while we were away. He enjoyed their company, as well as making other 4-legged friends. They kept in touch with us while we are away so we could vacation without worry! Thank you SO much :)”
“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!”
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.
“Our pup had a fabulous time as always at his second home. He loves the chance to run, play and explore with this buddies and we rest easy knowing he is in Jacqueline and Jamie's extremely capable hands!”
“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.”
“Daniel and Sarah were great with our dogs. This was the first stay and we felt very comfortable leaving Paf and Malina for an overnight stay. We received several photos and the next day when I went to pickup dogs they were calm and and well taken care of. We will be back for sure!”
“Excellent service for us and my tiny pup. Joanna is very kind and caring for the dog and was very responsive when planning and answering questions. Awesome experience.”
“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“Laura did a fantastic job looking after my two pups! They stayed with her for a few days while I was away, and seemed to have themselves a great visit. She looked after so many of the details to make sure they were as well cared for as possible, adapting to each of their temperaments and needs. I highly recommend her. You can tell she has really big heart and will work to make sure your animals feel as at-home as possible : )”
“Our boys had a fantastic week with Heather and her family. We had a great vacation knowing they had settled in just like home. They both came home happy and tired, Ducky from exploring Heathers home and Bentley, from long walks, outings and adventures, thank you!”
“Meghan and Jon took great care of our nervous dog and made her feel like part of the family during her first boarding experience. Would recommend them and hope to have an opportunity to board Charlie with them again in the future”
“Christopher and his partner were fantastic sitters for my dog Monty. They took him out for multiple walks a day, kept him to his usual routine and updated us with plenty of photos. They were receptive to any asks/questions that we had and also took the time to ask me necessary questions to take care of my dog. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Tanya was awesome as we were a last minute booking. In Ottawa for our son’s wedding we quickly realized our senior dog needed company the night of the wedding and used Rover for the first time. How lucky we are to have found Tanya and have a great experience. Our dog had a sleepover with her and her fur babies and wasn’t lonely one second! And we were able to enjoy the wedding stress free knowing he was well taken care of. Thank you Tanya!”

“Very accommodating. Pleasant to chat with and followed our wishes to a tee. Our maine coon cat is quite shy and timid but Jasmine is a perfect sitter for him, happy to play and spoke to him so sweetly you could tell immediately she was amazing with cats. Will use her pet sitting services again in the future and recommend.”
“Cadence did an awesome job of checking up on my cats while I was away! She sent pictures of her visits and spent lots of time playing with them! Highly recommend her for her sitting services!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Along with raising my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family, providing loving, attentive care tailored to their individual needs, including administering medication when required. As a server with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the week and can provide attentive, reliable care for your pets at a variety of times to suit their routine. I provide reliable drop-in visits and dog walks tailored to your pet’s routine. Each visit includes fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Taylor did a great job dropping in to look after my cats over a couple of days. Being able to pay special attention to each of their behaviours and needs is much appreciated. I'm sure we'll become a repeat client!”
“Fantastic communication, super easy to work with, and she’s so nice and accommodating with travel changes. My kitties are always well taken care of with Cassie when I’m away, thank you so much ❤️”
“Victoria is amazing ! My cat is usually timid but Victoria found a way to make her feel comfortable. She sent me updates after each drop in visits which I really appreciated !”
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She arrived at the same time every day which allowed for a consistent schedule for our 5 cats. They all went to her with tails up and all her pictures showed super happy cats! The is the first time I’ve travelled for a business trip and didn’t worry at all about the cats or the house. Was completely stress free. I can’t say enough about how professional she is and how at ease our pets were. Absolutely would recommend her for anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitter with an amazing ability to remove all stress for both myself and our cats. :-)”
“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: 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: Cats have been a constant source of companionship and comfort for me throughout my entire life, and I cherish every moment I spend together with them. I find that most cats are very resilient and adapt well to various environments. They are simply curious and enjoy exploring new surroundings. As most people who have owned pets for most their lives unfortunately there comes a time when your beloved friend gets sick or simply starts getting old. We have experience administering diabetes shots or simply antibiotics. In our home we like to use pretty litter because it helps us stay on top of our cats health. A simple UTI infection can be caught and dealt with in a timely manner before your cat starts to experience much pain and discomfort. As we like to say in our home, your fur baby will receive the same love, attention and dedication they get at home with you. We do our absolute best to accommodate whatever needs they may have. We have a baby gate we can put up if your pet needs a minute alone to eat special food if they are on a specific diet. Treats are available at your behest, only what you allow is what we will provide.
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.
“Katie was excellent, she accommodated our older cats' need for several checkins each day, giving him his medication and helping him to get up and walk, and to take care of him when an accident happened. She also provided frequent updates and was quick to respond to us. We would highly recommend Katie to anyone.”
About: Hi! I’m Adrienne. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether that’s going for long walks, providing companionship, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently own two amazing dogs - a 9-year-old German Shepherd and a 4-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix - so I’m very familiar with caring for large, active breeds and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I’m an active, reliable, and organized person who loves spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighbourhood strolls, longer walks on local trails, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’d be happy to help. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for both dogs and cats, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work for myself in Almonte so my schedule can (sometimes) be flexible! I work Tuesday - Saturday primarily and my days off are Sundays & Mondays. Fenced yard, non fenced yard, near water, crate trained, not crate trained, dog parks, walking in group, walking alone….. I’m confident in whatever makes your pet the most comfortable and happy.
About: About Kaitlyn I always had dogs growing up. I was employed at a dog daycare & boarding facility for 3 years and love being around dogs and creating a safe space for them to grow and learn! I am currently working full time throughout the months of April-November. During lay off season with work I do have a part time job during the week but willing do walk after work. 5:30 pm-7:00pm :) I am a firm believer in real emotional connection with dogs, just like people. Affection and creative play are my favourite activities, and on walks l aspire to create a comfortable environment to exercise and do their business. I'm not a professional dog trainer, but know the basic knowledge and skills for a nice, easy, and enjoyable walk!
About: My name is Tamara and I would love the pleasure to look after your dog when you're in need! I've had my own small dog for 14 years now, as well as a 1 year old large dog, and a kitten; so I know all of the love and work that goes into taking care of our little friends. I also have experience caring for farm animals (goats, sheep, and chickens)! My house is within walking distance of a vet and pet supplies, as well as right next to a long trail that is behind my backyard that your dog is sure to love! Since I have a dog myself, your friend will be doing everything with mine, so even if I'm away for an hour or so, they won't ever be by themselves! I'm able to follow any routine that you need and I'll make sure that you're furry friend feels as at home as possible. I work full time as a teacher (8-3), so I'm home pretty early every day. My pets are home while I'm gone, so your furry friend will never be alone. I leave puzzles and enrichment toys for them while I'm gone, and I even have a pet camera so that I can check in on them too. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me! I have a pet camera that you can tune into as well (while I'm gone), if that's something you'd be interested in. I will treat your furry friend just like I would my own; with love, care, and patience!

“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.”
“Guinness enjoyed her day with Jason and Bella. She always has such a wonderful time and is so well looked after when she’s there. She comes home tired from a full day of playing and fun”
“Phyllis had a wonderful time with Lei for her doggy daycare. Lei was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating. Phyllis was well taken care of and we will absolutely be booking with Lei again!”
“I returned to Jacqueline and Jamie for a day of daycare for my dog this weekend, following an incredibly positive longer stay in the past. Jacqueline and Jamie's genuine care and attention made my dog feel right at home, ensuring a day full of play and fun. It's clear they pour their hearts into what they do, creating a loving environment for all pets. My dog came back so happily exhausted that he fell asleep immediately and was still catching up on rest the next day! :) It’s comforting to know there’s such a caring and trustworthy place for him. I can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sarah is amazing! This was our first time using Sarah for doggy day care and I knew within minutes that I had nothing to worry about. Her demeanour and gentle personality are wonderful and I knew she would be a great fit for Brady. Brady was following her around and tail wagging when I arrived to pick him up. She sent pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend Sarah- she speaks doggie :)”
“Reiley took great care of Maui again. He was asleep on the drive home within minutes. Thank you so much. It’s so comforting to know he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!!!”
“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 😁”
“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.”
“Judith is such a warm and friendly person, who clearly has a natural ease with and passion for dogs. She took good care of Lenny during our work day. He had a couple of walks and a lot of playtime. We appreciated the photos and updates we received. Thanks Judith!”
“Jessica has been very caring! Alfie had a lot of fun. He came back tired after playing all day long with Jessica’s dog. I highly recommend Jessica for anyone needing a short or long stay with her. Thanks Jessica!”
“Michelle is fantastic. She took such great care of Ody. He loved his walks, he got brushed, he played and received all the lovings a floofy cloud could want. An easy recommendation. Michelle never disappoints. :)”
About: I do have neighbours who asked me to take care of their dogs and clients at my pet grooming salon that I used to work at I’m just taking some time off so I’m home all day. I have a 10-year-old spayed great Dane, who is updated on her vaccines. She’s a very nice dog, but is old and usually just sleeps all day. She is used to doggy daycare and I used to bring her to the daycare every day until she got a bit older and more tired. I love to go for a walks, but unfortunately, she can’t walk that long because of her hips. I would love to take dogs on long walks. I also offer bathing and nail clipping which I used to do at my job. I’ve run doggy daycare. So I’m pretty much familiar with every breed and their personalities. I honestly love dogs and they are allowed on my couch or anywhere they wanna go really. I’d be taking them out at least every two hours. I do take puppies also and do my best to train with potty training and walking without pulling and sitting while asked. I’ve trained my great Dane very well. She listens on command and never pulls me while walking. I used to take her on a busy road. And we do a few steps and then I would ask her to sit and once she did sit, we would continue our walk if she pulled I would ask her to sit again and then we would continue our walk. I’ve also trained dogs at work and that’s part of the whole daycare job also with jumping dogs and potty training. Neighbours have asked me to babysit their dogs as well as clients at the pet grooming salon. I honestly love all breeds of dogs and your dog or puppy will be in great hands and I also allow them in my car. I don’t currently work right now. I am on a leave and that’s why I would love to take care of pets during my free time. I’m usually home all day unless I go to the grocery store, but that’s about it. If I’m not home, my fiancé is. My children are also great with dogs and cats. Currently, I only offer boarding in my house. I allow them to go on the couch on my bed basically my house is a home for them. They won’t be crated unless they’re used to be crated and if that’s what you prefer. But I would never crate a dog unless specified by the owner.
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. I fall in love with every dog I meet and I would absolutely make sure that your beloved furbaby would be in good hands! I work from home most of the time and my schedule is flexible. I'm able to take walks and do home visits during most workdays in addition to most evenings and weekends. I will make sure I get all the information from you to ensure your dog stays happy and healthy in my care. I want your dog to be comfortable and just have fun!

“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.”
“Nicole and Eddie were great, I needed someone to walk my dogs when I went into labour, they were very flexible with planning and quick to respond when I needed them last minute. They were on time for all walks, and our dogs seemed to have a great time!”

About: Hi, my name is Vitoria Chambers and I have been on Rover for a few years. I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and birds of all ages. I am able to administer medication. I love to make/come up with fun, stimulating activities for your pets, such as puzzles, interactive walks/training, etc. I work full time from 9-5 (not remotely) Monday to Friday. I would stop in at lunch. I head straight home after work and would be able to walk/play with your pets before/after those hours. I am home on the weekends and am happy to take your pet for runs, walks, and parks. I live in a house with an unfenced backyard. All pets are welcome on the couches and beds! :) We have many dog parks and large fenced areas I can take your pet out to! If I am going to your home, I would make sure some cuddle/attention time is allotted separate from the walks and adventures we will go on.
“Jessica is amazing! Communication is great, she is friendly, knowledgeable, caring. She takes my dog for walks and my dog loves it. I highly recommend her, I have booked with Jessica a couple of times now and will continue to book with her :)”
About: Hi I'm Victoria! Owner of VC'S Pet Services I have years of experience looking after beloved pets in professional kennel and pet care settings and strive to fulfill animals physical, and mental needs. Everything I do is out of respect for the animals I care for and the people who know them best. I am Canine CPR and First Aid certified, insured, and have extensive knowledge in animal behaviour. Your pets personal space will be respected, while ensuring their every need is fulfilled. While working in pet care facilities, I realized that they are not for everyone. Whether your pet has separation anxiety, can react when overwhelmed, doesn't like other animals, doesn't travel well, or simply prefers spending their time at home while your away, I will insure that their routine stays the same and that they are happy and content. Whether you are gone for a day, or a week, I will provide you and your beloved pets with professional services that will put everyone at ease. I can't wait to learn more about your pet! This is my full time business! I am available for Walks, Drop in Visits, and Overnight Visits whenever it suits your schedule. I provide pet services in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, and everywhere in between! I can assure you that I will provide the safest environment possible for your pets. Dogs will be kept on leash at all times when outside of their home or fenced yard. I have a great deal of experience administering medications, noticing differences in behaviour and health, and am detail oriented. I pay close attention to instructions and will take all safety measures possible to keep everyone safe.
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 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 been a Veterinarian Technician for 17 years. I have experience working with many different species. I have also done lots of pet sitting throughout the years. I am capable of giving medications, nails trims, supportive care, you name it! I live on a hobby farm so have experience with chickens, goats, donkeys and horses. I currently have a 2 year old yorkie “Gordon” who loves the company of other dogs, no matter what size! I’m currently home throughout the week so can be available almost anytime throughout the day. I’m very active so happy to take your pup for a nice walk. We are a very adventurous family so often away on the weekends so my weekends will be limited. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life so I can assure you that I would treat yours as if they were my own. I will follow all instructions given along with lots of love and cuddles.
“I’m so grateful for Jocelyn’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate us on short notice. Timon had a wonderful time on his walk and came back happy and well-exercised.”
“Katie is the most reliable, most trustworthy dog lover I have ever had since I got rover years ago. My dog has leash anxiety and freaks out about the strangest things. Katie deals with that no problem, her loving and calm demeanor is exactly what my pup needs. And now Pippi waits for her daily walkie with Katie at the door in anticipation. She takes her for longer walks on days the dog is full of beans and will play with her in the yard on days its too hot or rainy. Katie is there for the dog and always treats my baby with love. Katie is THE ONE.”
About: Please read my full profile to ensure you have all the information you need! Currently only able to accept permanent part-time or full-time clients Monday-Friday in Perth and Lanark area in late afternoon. Thank you for checking out my profile! My name is Josee and a HUGE animal lover. I’ve been exposed to dogs, cats and other animals my whole life. I love to walk and hike with my own dog, as well as train and provide enrichment activities. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick drop-in, if you have a puppy or senior senior dog, you can count on me to ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable. I thrive on giving pets what they need—from walks to enrichment, snuggles, training, or just being a companion while you’re away. I am a confident handler and very respectful to each dogs wants and needs based on behavior, body language, and breed. I am confident in handling your nervous, difficult, or anxious dog if this is a concern. As a reactive dog owner, I understand it can be difficult or frustrating taking them out or ensuring that they’ve had enough mental stimulation and exercise during the day. Learning about dog behavior/body language, separation anxiety and positive reinforcement/force-free training has also been a large area of focus in the last 5 years and I'm certified in pet first-aid - I never leave the house without my pet first-aid kit! I also have my certificate in canine nutrition (Cert.CN) - helping dogs live their best and healthiest lives through diet, exercise and stress-free living. I’m highly respectful of your dogs’ individual needs, if they have a routine to follow and I will do whatever is needed to ensure that you feel comfortable with leaving your furry friend in my care—I will treat your pet as my own. Prior to scheduling, I like to do a face-to-face meeting before beginning my services. I am available days, early evenings and the occasional weekend for clients who are scheduling regularly. When caring for your loved one(s), I will begin by assessing your dogs’ behavior and comfort level upon each visit. I am highly respectful of house rules and routines and will always advocate for your pet. **PRICING & SCHEDULING** Please contact me for pricing and service schedules as prices listed on Rover are not firm. Please note that "pet sitting" consists of up to 3 visits per day (priced per visit). Pricing and scheduling will be discussed to determine what best suits your pets needs.

“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: Long before petsitting became a commoditized business, Debbie Ozarko was on the Ottawa scene bringing joy to the lives of dogs and their people with her dog walking service, "We Take the Dogs Out" in 2000. This eventually morphed into, "It’s a Ruff Life Doggie Daycare" which thrived until her move to the British Columbia coast in 2013. Her love for such beautiful intimacy with animals has only deepened over time, and with her return to the Ottawa area she is eager to offer her exceptional services once again. Debbie is also a long-time volunteer with the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and the IFAW Northern Dogs Project. Animals truly are her life. Debbie brings it back to what is most meaningful for all: respect, integrity and generosity of spirit—for you, and for your furry, fuzzy and feathered animal companions. Animals are my life! It doesn't matter if they are residents are not, they are all treated with love, kindness, respect, and compassion. My schedule is constructed around their needs first. I have access to several quiet areas where field, forest and streams abound for off-leash romps. If dogs are better with on-leash walks, I'm happy to take them to green spaces where they have access to lots of sniffing to satiate that deep primal canine need. I also provide healthy, grain-free treats...just because. Of course, I offer only these with your approval beforehand.
About: I am a registered veterinary technician who works at an emergency clinic. I have been working with animals my whole life. I have been fostering dogs for the last 5 years, providing them with training and helping them find their forever homes once they are ready. I have recently started boarding dogs at my house as I moved to a farm and had the land and space to run them and give them everything they need. I would offer additional services with my boarding if the client would like, these services would included training, nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I have two high energy dogs who need a lot of time running off leash per day. I am always taking them in the bush, on the trails, on hikes or on bike rides to tire them out. The best suited dog to board with me would be one that is successful off leash with recall, as we spend 2 hours per day off leash in the bush as well as off leash time in my yard. I live on 5 acres so there is many opportunity to run and play. My dogs are very good with new dogs coming into our home as they are use to me bringing home new fosters very often. Both of them are crate trained, place trained and e collar trained and are very respectful of other dogs space. They like to wrestle and play when the time is right, and know when it is time to rest. My dogs know that outside is play time, and when we are inside that is their time to rest either on their beds or in their crates.

“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! ❤️”
“We greatly appreciated Jocelyn and Jason's care for our dog, Jasper, while we were away. He enjoyed their company, as well as making other 4-legged friends. They kept in touch with us while we are away so we could vacation without worry! Thank you SO much :)”
“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!”
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.
“Our pup had a fabulous time as always at his second home. He loves the chance to run, play and explore with this buddies and we rest easy knowing he is in Jacqueline and Jamie's extremely capable hands!”
“Daniel and Sarah were great with our dogs. This was the first stay and we felt very comfortable leaving Paf and Malina for an overnight stay. We received several photos and the next day when I went to pickup dogs they were calm and and well taken care of. We will be back for sure!”
“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“Laura did a fantastic job looking after my two pups! They stayed with her for a few days while I was away, and seemed to have themselves a great visit. She looked after so many of the details to make sure they were as well cared for as possible, adapting to each of their temperaments and needs. I highly recommend her. You can tell she has really big heart and will work to make sure your animals feel as at-home as possible : )”
“Our boys had a fantastic week with Heather and her family. We had a great vacation knowing they had settled in just like home. They both came home happy and tired, Ducky from exploring Heathers home and Bentley, from long walks, outings and adventures, thank you!”
“Meghan and Jon took great care of our nervous dog and made her feel like part of the family during her first boarding experience. Would recommend them and hope to have an opportunity to board Charlie with them again in the future”
“Christopher and his partner were fantastic sitters for my dog Monty. They took him out for multiple walks a day, kept him to his usual routine and updated us with plenty of photos. They were receptive to any asks/questions that we had and also took the time to ask me necessary questions to take care of my dog. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Madeleine & Ryan were great! I was very nervous leaving Myla, she'd only ever stayed with family and a friend before. Madeleine gave me lots of updates which eased my mind so I could have a relaxing vacation. Myla was well taken care of and felt the love and safety with them. Thanks for taking such good care of my baby, we will see you in July! :)”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was very comfortable leaving Gus with Lindsay and her family. I received lots of updates throughout his short stay, which helped put me at ease.It sounds like he enjoyed himself and relaxed very quickly. We would definitely leave Gus for another stay.”
“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 🙂”
“This was our second time leaving Simba with Eduardo and Ana and we are so happy! They were sending photos everyday, responsive when I'd message them, and it is very clear how loving they are to Simba. Simba was so excited seeing them again, and we had a lot of peace during our vacation knowing he was in their care. Definitely going to reach out to Eduardo and Ana next time he needs a sitter.”
