“Selina &Pascal were absolutely amazing with Tiger. Tiger looked extremely relaxed and happy in all the pictures they sent me of him. I highly recommend Selina & Pascal to care for you furry baby!”
“Molly enjoyed her stay with Benjamin and his family. She was very well taken care of and Benjamin kept us updated with photographs of her and how she was adjusting. This meant a great deal to us especially when Molly needed medical attention. He took her to our vet, where she was examined and given the appropriate testing and medication and kept us informed throughout the ordeal. We highly recommend Benjamin….😃🐾”
“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. She was also very flexible with both pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything convenient and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“My dogs, Moose and Chester, had an amazing stay at the farm! Ashley was incredibly kind and kept me updated throughout their time with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she truly loves and understands animals. She even administered Chester’s medication with no issues. The boys were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better place for them! I highly recommend!”
“Hannah is by far my favourite dog sitter! My dog loves all the attention, cuddles, and adventures he gets and I love all the photos and updates that let me see what a great time he's having.”
“My dog LOVED Paige. As an Australian Shepherd owner, I worried about where to board my dog that she would get enough exercise and attention. After seeing Paige’s great reviews from other people, I decided to reach out. I’m so happy I did!! When we returned from our vacation, my dog was tired, happy, and well cared for. Paige kept me updated throughout the time that I was away, sending pictures of their adventures together. I highly recommend Paige.”
“First time leaving Ruby alone without a family member watching her and Valerie was amazing with her. Picked her up with no issues must of had a great time as she is fast asleep beside me now 😄”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my dog, Kobe, while we were away for three days. She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear he was happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were on vacation. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Dash just loves being with Tanya and her family including all her friendly dogs. Tanya keeps was updated with lots of photos, let pur dog be a part of her faimily and it shows when he meets her or he is about to leave them. We are actually very thankful to finally find someone who loves Dash as much does them.”
“Mélina is awesome. She was a life saver for us when we wanted to board our little boy for a night and had to book at the last minute. She accommodated our request graciously and took excellent care of Cooper. It was Cooper's first time away from us and he felt at home with Mélina. She kept updating us regularly with pics. I cannot recommend her enough and would not hesitate to reach out to her again. Knowing our little boy was in good hands gave us all the peace of mind we needed during our trip.”
“Justyne did a wonderful job taking care of our boston for the long weekend. She's a total pro too. We were super impressed with some of the stuff she did while looking after him, and we're looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“I worried my sweet little Golden Retriever would feel abandoned and anxious in a stranger's house. She took to Danielle immediately on first meeting. Wasn't anxious when I left. By all reports, she really enjoyed her time with Danielle and Mat in their home and spacious backyard. Their affection for animals shines through. When I picked her up, Willow was happy to see us but not so much as if relieved. She roamed the property like it was hers. It was obvious she had as much a vacation as we did.”
“I would give 6 stars if I could. Catherine is a wonderful person who knows dogs and has a welcoming home for pets to stay. My 2 Porties enjoyed their stay and I was happy that they had a great home environment to relax in. Catherine sent some photos, videos and texts so that we could see how the dogs were settling in. I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine as a sitter for dogs. I definately look forward to having my furry friends stay with her again.”
“We had a great experience with Manali. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her.”
“After having read such excellent reviews of Madeline and Ryan, we felt completely assured to leave our 2 year old dog with them. And they turned out to be exactly as the reviews said (excellent). Given our dog is quite timid in nature, we appreciate the patience and understanding that both Madeline and Ryan showed. We also appreciate the honest feedback that helped us learn about it our little one’s personality outside our home. We would definitely return to them in future.”
“Thank you to Kathrine and family for taking such good care of Reese. We could tell that Reese was well taken care of and felt very comfortable in their home and with the family. We appreciated the daily photos and updates.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with Alfie. He was healing from an injury and she took great care of him and dosed out his meds perfectly. She communicated with us every day and let us know how he was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and not at all stressed.”
“One of the best experiences we had in terms of boarding. Our dog stayed with Akanksha for 1 night and it was great. She kept sending us updates and Pablo looked very happy. Definitely recommended”

“Selina took exceptional care of my cat, Ink, while I was away. She came every single day to feed him, clean his litter, and most importantly, spend real quality time petting and playing with him. Ink has asthma and requires medication, and he can be quite a difficult cat with new people. I was honestly very stressed about leaving him, but Selina completely put my mind at ease. She handled his meds perfectly and was incredibly patient and gentle with him. Every day, she sent me thoughtful updates along with beautiful photos and videos, which reassured me more than she probably knows. It made such a difference being able to see that Ink was comfortable and well cared for. I would strongly recommend Selina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again the next time I travel.”
“Keshia was fantastic with our two cats 🐈 🐈⬛- they were obviously very well cared for when we got back. She was really responsive and constructive from the planning, to her heartwarming daily updates and photos , to the wrap up. I highly recommend her and would book her again in a heartbeat! As would the cats if they had opposable thumbs 😂😊”
About: I've grown up with cats my entire life and understand their unique personalities and needs. I bond easily with cats, am very patient, and know how to help even the shyest ones feel safe and comfortable. I always respect their boundaries and personal space, tailoring my care to each cat's individual personality so they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for :)
About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! I’m the person your pup’s been hoping you’d find. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Think muddy paws, endless fetch, and the occasional epic game of “who can out-stubborn who.” I’ve owned dogs of every size, shape, and quirky personality, and I wouldn’t trade a single slobbery kiss for the world. Here’s what sets me apart: I’m certified in Animal First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross (safety first—always!). I also have hands-on experience in dog rehabilitation and training, so I’m the go-to for pups who need a little extra TLC or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Whether your dog is a high-energy ball chaser, a senior looking for some sunshine and slow strolls, or a shy rescue who needs patience and understanding, I’m here to make their day brighter (and give you total peace of mind).Let’s be honest, your dog deserves someone who’ll treat them like family. That’s exactly what I do. So if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do—and maybe even sneak them an extra treat or two then let’s chat! Ready for your pup’s next favorite human? Book with me, and let’s make some tails wag! I am currently working from home so am available for walks & drop-ins mid day. I am also available anytime evenings and weekends as well. Holidays too if I am around! When I care for pets during drop-in visits or walks, safety and trust are always my top priorities. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your instructions, your dog’s unique needs, and any special routines or quirks. During drop-ins, I do a quick safety check of your home such as making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, and removing anything that could be hazardous to curious noses. I let the dops out for a much needed potty break and top up water bowls. On walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and only go to places you’re comfortable with, whether that’s a quiet neighborhood street or a stroll through a trail. I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.
“Rebecca did a fantastic job with my little girl! The pictures she took made me feel very comfortable with the care Rebecca was giving to Lola. I would definitely have her come back and care for my little girl.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient and attentive caring for them. I’ve been pet sitting independently since 2022 and have experience with daily visits, feeding routines, litter maintenance, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a different personality, some are social and playful, while others are shy and need space. I always take the time to adjust to what makes each cat feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by pets of all kinds, including some with chronic medical conditions, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to provide individualized care. I genuinely love animal company—sometimes even more than human company!—and I adapt my care to fit each pet’s personality, whether that means gentle, calm attention for seniors or playful, energetic engagement for younger dogs. I’ve also completed several professional pet behaviour classes with my own pets, so I understand how to help nervous or timid animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Every tail wag, purr, or happy snuggle is meaningful to me, and I strive to make every pet’s experience fun, comforting, and stress-free. I currently work a full-time job in healthcare, but am available on most evenings and weekends! I work the occasional shift work so am also available during the day at times. My services include walks & home visits to your house (either overnight or drop-ins). Due to my own pets, I am unable to take your pet to my house. I am a very clean and organized person and I would ensure to treat your house and space the same as I would my own. I will make sure your furry friends get the best experience I can possibly give, and tailor my care to your pet’s liking!
About: Owned by cats my entire life. Veterinary clinic experience, comfortable with nail trims. Expert chin scratcher, and a deep understanding that cats make the rules, I just follow them. And if there's poop to scoop I've gotchu 🫡
“Breanne is amazing with updates & a last minute request, was very reassuring when I was stressed out about going away last minute & took the best care of my kitten! I will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“Bronya was amazing! She took the best care of our two senior cats (who both have medical conditions). She sent updates every visit including pictures and kept us informed if anything came up and asked questions as needed. I will 100% work with Bronya again! As an RVT, I’m not only impressed, I’m grateful for someone who takes such pride in caring for animals. She even befriended our grumpy cat that normally isn’t interested in being friends. Thank you Bronya!”
About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting most likely in the fall of 2026. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I live alone, and do not have obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (MonThurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing (even when sniffing the ground), making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!
About: Cats have been a part of my life for years, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. As the proud Mom of Herbie, Linus and Wilbur, I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat is outgoing or shy, I’ll provide patient, dependable care and treat them like one of my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including cats, snakes, rodents, and farm animals. I worked on farms for 10 years feeding, cleaning, and providing exercise. I have a 1.5 year old orange cat, Pumpkin, who I absolutely adore. I’m currently working full time, so I’m only looking to do drop in visits at this time. I am available early morning, late afternoon, and evening. I am calm and quiet, with a strong attention to detail to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. I provide pictures and updates.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since i’m in high school! I would watch my neighbours pets, cats and dogs as if they were my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule for day visits and walks. I don’t work weekends giving more flexibility and more time with your pets. My dog at home gets daily walks, lots of love and roams the house freely. I know every dog is different and I will easily adapt to individual needs.
About: Hello! I’ve pet-sat, walked dogs, and cared for animals in friends and family’s homes for over 14 years. Looking to do it more often and expand my clientele. I love animals and really enjoy pet-sitting in either my home or yours. I work 2 minutes from home so taking care of them during the day is very easy. These jobs allow me to spend time with animals which I absolute love! Please note that I’ve had this app for a while but only decided to take on clients a couple weeks ago. I am very excited to begin this pet sitting journey through Rover! I can provide excellent references if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with pet owners to figure out a schedule that works best for us both (and of course your pets). :) As previously mentioned, I am unable to have animals of my own, so I really enjoy spending quality time with the animals I care for.
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of my cat. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, followed all of his (probably over the top) meal instructions perfectly, and spent lots of quality time playing with him and brushing him. My cat is very shy but he absolutely adores Bridget and even began to greet her at the door! I would absolutely recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for about 9 years now. Living with my mom she was a big cat person! Now that I’m living on my own I have my own cat Daisy. She get along with other cats as she is always around my boyfriends 3 cats when I visit him. She is litter trained so I am experienced in cleaning litters and she is always accompanied with love and affection and so will your cat too!

About: I have been honoured to be from a very animal Oriented family and have lived on a farm for most of my life. I have cared for and have given the best care and love to animals such as, Guinea pigs, cats, turtles, horses, dogs, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. I was born an animal lover and every animal becomes my family. I can identify special needs in any animal such as first aid, anxiety issues etc I work from home, so your pet has 24/7 attention. Be prepared for your loved one to get 3-4 walks a day along with an hour play time or a trip to the dog park daily! I have a fenced yard. My golden retriever is very patient and loves all types of dogs. If your dog is allowed on the couch or bed, well so is mine. I would rather your dog be able to cuddle and be comfy right beside me during the night to make them feel trust, and feel more comfortable in a strange environment I am able make every animal feel like home. Just ask my references … if your dog likes burger patties from McDonalds or pup cups from star bucks… I’m your girl… I am very experienced with highly reactive and aggressive dogs as well. Unfortunately, I do Have a dog of my own, but can manage very well as I am highly trained with aggressive dogs. I believe all dogs can be trained in a well loved and supportive environment once triggers are identified I spoil every animal like it’s my own! Great with puppies and super forgiving. We all make mistakes even if it’s our furniture!!! I have tons of training experience to make this not happen! I am fear based certified as I am a canine enrichment volunteer at the Ottawa Humane Society

“Oslo had a great time with Bridget and Glenn for daycare. Their flexible, open approach provides oslo with supervised freedom and is so much better for him than traditional kennel boarding where he alone in a kennel for most of the day. I trust Bridget and Glens experience completely, and the flexible pick-up and drop-off times make everything much less stressful for me. Highly recommend!”
“We're incredibly grateful for Sonia's hospitality. She made us feel comfortable entrusting Beau to her care. Sonia regularly provided updates, including photos and videos, ensuring Beau's smooth transition. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Sonia, and if we're ever in Springfield MA again, Beau would definitely like to stay with her again.”
“We were drawn to Ashley’s for its country setting thinking it would be a great place for our energetic 9 month old puppy and we were not disappointed. Ashley agreed to a meet and greet the day before our booking to tour the grounds and meet 2 other dogs that would be there the next day. Ashley also sent us an update and pictures while walking the dogs. We knew we had made the right choice when our puppy returned to Ashley before jumping into our vehicle at pick-up time.”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up, one at my moms and one at my dads, I now live alone and would love to help with your little fur babies! I have 4 pets right now two bunnies and two cats. The bunnies get kibble and veggies in the morning. The cats get wet food in the morning and at night. Dry kibble out all day and hay out all day for the bunnies.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of many different dogs over my lifetime, including within my family and branching out to friends families as well. I have been seen as a go to for pet check ins, sittings, and walks. Recently, I have decided to branch out and make more four-legged friends! I work from home 3/5 days per week in Kenmore/Metcalfe/Russell/Greely area, and would be happy to take my lunch breaks to go on walks with your fur babies, or to do some check-ins! I am also open most weekends. Ensuring your fur baby feels safe, secure, and comfortable is my top priority! Sometimes new faces can be scary, but I ensure I approach new fur babies with love and care. Safety is also something that I consider to be top priority, which includes the safety of your pet and your home. Providing an animal with a fun nurturing environment is something that I take pride in!
“5 stars for Zahrah! From our first meet-and-greet, it was clear she truly knows small dogs. Her townhouse was spotless, welcoming, and stocked with toys that Toby claimed immediately. Best of all, he came home happy and still full of energy, not bored and exhausted. We’d trust her again anytime, even overnight.”
“Mélanie was wonderful with Matcha and Juny! Matcha felt at home after only one day 😊 She is patient and caring toward our puppies and takes such good care of them!”
“Mina is caring, reliable and so great with our dogs. Our pups love her and are always so excited to see her. We appreciate how thoughtful she is and how she works in play, exercise and lots of attention ☺️”
“Sept 9, 2024: We left our toy poodle (13 months old) with Catherine for the first time. Catherine is a lovely person and you can clearly tell that she has a natural passion for looking after dogs and always has their best interest and safety in mind. Her home and yard are very clean and organized. We received regular updates on how our puppy was doing with pictures and videos, which was so nice to receive. Our puppy had the company of Catherine’s own puppy and the two played really well with each other. They have a backyard that is fenced and puppy-proof for a perfect place to get some fresh air and play time. We will be booking again with Catherine. Looking for your go-to daycare - We highly recommend Catherine. Thank you Catherine! 5+ stars”
About: I grew up with dogs (rescues and breeder dogs) and also watched friends & family dogs of all age and sizes. I have experience with special needs. From training puppies to taking care of senior dogs, all dogs are worthy of patience, love and care. I’m currently working from home full-time therefore, I am available to love and hang out with your fur baby/babies at all time. I have a large fenced in backyard that the dogs can play and run and go out as often as needed. Pack walks or individual walks are also an option at all times. I have a large fenced yard and 2 dog friendly dogs (one 8 pounds male and one 17 pounds female) of my own. All of my dogs are special needs in one way or another so nothing is too much for me! My pups are crate trained and can do the same for yours if needed!
“We needed day care for our pup on short notice while visiting Ottawa, and Justyne was absolutely amazing! Our pup was in great hands from the start, and Justyne accommodated a quick meet and greet that went perfectly. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Nova when we visit again! Thank you so much ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life. I’ve had some trying dogs over the years and I can control anything that comes my way. I am the kind of person that will go see the dog and not talk to all the people that are there. I have taken care of a number of dogs in my life of all sizes and all the characters and can say without a doubt that I can definitely handle a lot with training or medication. You would not be disappointed in having me as your pet sitter. The dog will be a part of my family just like it was my very own and will have cuddles and playtime nonstop. I am retired. I spend a lot of time at home in the. In the summer, I am out and about a little more, but when I have a dog, I will make sure that they are well taken care of with walks before I leave and when I return My house is very pet friendly. When I am home, they will have the run of the house. If I have to step out, they will be put in their kennel if they have one or they will be left in the family room with a baby gate at the door. I live on a country road. There is little traffic. I am looking into getting a dog run. I will do a couple walks a day minimum and play time outside weather depending. And lots of cuddles
“Kayla will be looking after Tippy during the day two days a week starting in the fall when we go back to work. Today we did a half day trial to see how Tippy and Kayla would like it. Tippy seemed really happy when I picked her up and Kayla provided an update half way through the visit. Kayla is great with communication and really nice to work with!”
“Erin took care of my 6 month pup for the day and was very communicative, asking about his routine and what he’s been learning so she could reinforce while he was with her. She thoughtfully put a coat on my doodle when it snowed unexpectedly to protect his fur. He came home tired and slept for the evening. I’d happily book care with Erin again.”
“Amazing! She took good care of Pyper! Pyper was tired when she got home but not too tired to sniff around the new home we moved into. Thank you so much for taking care or our baby on such short notice!”

“Shanna is punctual , attentive & extremely caring. She loves dog & it shows. My dogs LOVE when Shanna walks in to see them or give them a walk. She takes her time when she is with them & ensure they are fulfilled with exercise & mental enrichment. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Keshia has been amazing with our dog, immediately being comfortable with some of his less than desirable behaviours (ex jumping) while at the same time making our dog feel comfortable. She has been professional and reliable, and a life saver with quick reponses and last minute walks. Dexter and us are very appreciative of your help!”
About: Hi! We’re Selina and Pascal, longtime dog lovers with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, we’ve shared our home with (and cared for!) everything from playful Pugs and Frenchies to energetic Aussies, loyal Golden Retrievers, goofy Doodles, gentle St. Bernards, cuddly Chihuahuas, and many others in between. We’re comfortable with dogs who are high energy, low key, seniors, puppies, or those who need a little extra medical attention, including medication or special routines. Our family team includes us both as well as my 16 year old son, Jesse, who loves helping out and giving dogs lots of affection. We recently lost our beloved Bella, a French Bulldog mix, so we have plenty of space in our hearts (and home!) for your pup. I currently work from home full time, so dogs in our care are rarely alone. And if I ever need to step out, Pascal works nearby at the post office and can easily pop in to keep pups company. Long story short: there’s almost always someone around! We’re dedicated to giving each dog the same warm, personalized care we’d want for our own; daily walks (up to 4 times!), playtime, cuddles, mental stimulation, and lots of love. Just let us know any special needs or quirks so we can tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. 🐶💛 Please note: we can’t host cats in our home due to our son’s allergies, but we’re happy to offer drop ins. Since I currently work from home full‑time, pet care naturally fits into my daily rhythm. Regular walks, feeding times, potty breaks, and play sessions are built right into my schedule. I adjust the day based on each dog’s needs, whether they thrive on extra exercise, prefer frequent short outings, or just love being close for cuddles. And with Pascal working nearby at the post office, there’s always someone available to pop in if I need to step out. This means your pet gets consistent companionship and is rarely ever alone. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priority. In our home, pups are treated just like family, free to relax, explore, play, and enjoy plenty of affection. Since I work from home and Pascal works nearby, dogs are rarely left alone for long. They get several daily walks, outdoor time, and a calm, cozy environment to help them feel completely at ease. One thing that’s really important to us: we only host one family’s pets at a time. That means no mixing unfamiliar dogs from different households. This helps ensure everyone, pets and humans, stays comfortable, stress free, and safe. Plus, your pup gets 100% of our attention and care, with no competition for space, toys, or affection. Cat care is available through drop-ins as we can’t host cats in our home due to allergies.
About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! I’m the person your pup’s been hoping you’d find. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Think muddy paws, endless fetch, and the occasional epic game of “who can out-stubborn who.” I’ve owned dogs of every size, shape, and quirky personality, and I wouldn’t trade a single slobbery kiss for the world. Here’s what sets me apart: I’m certified in Animal First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross (safety first—always!). I also have hands-on experience in dog rehabilitation and training, so I’m the go-to for pups who need a little extra TLC or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Whether your dog is a high-energy ball chaser, a senior looking for some sunshine and slow strolls, or a shy rescue who needs patience and understanding, I’m here to make their day brighter (and give you total peace of mind).Let’s be honest, your dog deserves someone who’ll treat them like family. That’s exactly what I do. So if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do—and maybe even sneak them an extra treat or two then let’s chat! Ready for your pup’s next favorite human? Book with me, and let’s make some tails wag! I am currently working from home so am available for walks & drop-ins mid day. I am also available anytime evenings and weekends as well. Holidays too if I am around! When I care for pets during drop-in visits or walks, safety and trust are always my top priorities. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your instructions, your dog’s unique needs, and any special routines or quirks. During drop-ins, I do a quick safety check of your home such as making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, and removing anything that could be hazardous to curious noses. I let the dops out for a much needed potty break and top up water bowls. On walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and only go to places you’re comfortable with, whether that’s a quiet neighborhood street or a stroll through a trail. I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.
“Krista was great with communication and confident with her care of my reactive dog! She did such an amazing job and kept me in the loop during the whole visit. Would love to have Krista come back again and walk Zoey!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up, one at my moms and one at my dads, I now live alone and would love to help with your little fur babies! I have 4 pets right now two bunnies and two cats. The bunnies get kibble and veggies in the morning. The cats get wet food in the morning and at night. Dry kibble out all day and hay out all day for the bunnies. We clean their cage 1/ week, and the cats litter gets changed every 3 days. I’ve dog sat a few times for the same family and if you have a routine for your pets I’ll gladly follow what your looking for, I also have a routine for mine as well, so whatever works best for you!
About: Please note: I often have my kids with me during drop-ins, walks, or house sits. They love animals and are very respectful of pets. I’ve had lots of experience with dogs. My dog growing up was a husky but we’ve had quite a few breeds. I would love to get to know your fur babies and get to help take care of them! I offer a tailored, reliable schedule for your pet, including feeding, medication, and multiple daily walks or potty breaks. My top priority is keeping your dog comfortable, happy, and safe, sticking as closely as possible to their normal, daily routine to ensure a stress-free experience. Safety first: Experienced in handling, vigilant on walks, and fully committed to your dog's security and comfort. Rest easy knowing your pet is with a responsible caregiver.
“We had a great first experience using Melina - she was friendly and very responsive. Communication was clear and timely, and everything went smoothly with no issues at all. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for!”
About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting most likely in the fall of 2026. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I live alone, and do not have obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (MonThurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing (even when sniffing the ground), making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!
“Highly recommend! Ramona had great communication, was very comfortable with our anxious dog, and was flexible to accommodate us. We felt confident that our girl would be looked after really well. I will definitely reach out again!”
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have years of experience caring for my own dog and truly understand the love and attention they need. Now, as a newcomer to Canada, I would love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own. Providing them with companionship, exercise, and affection brings me so much joy! We are a small, loving family—husband, wife, and our wonderful 10-year-old daughter—newcomers to Canada. My daughter has an incredible love for dogs, but since we currently live in a small apartment, we’re unable to have one of our own. Walking dogs is the perfect way for us to enjoy the company of man’s best friend while providing them with care and attention. It would be a joy for both me and my daughter to spend time with your furry friends! We are a small, loving family—husband, wife, and our wonderful 10-year-old daughter—newcomers to Canada.

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.
About: Hello there! I'm Bridget, and I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals. Growing up on a lively farm, surrounded by a multitude of furry friends, instilled in me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Additionally, my family and I often open our doors to foster animals in partnership with the Cornwall OSPCA, providing them with a safe and loving environment. With 16 years of dedicated service in the Canadian Forces, I've honed skills in discipline and responsibility, which I bring to every interaction with your cherished pet. Rest assured, your furry companion will be in capable and caring hands under my watch I currently operate my own home-based business, and my commitment to community volunteering remains steadfast. In the event I'm needed in Ottawa, you'll find me there from 8 am to 3 pm, but I always make it back home in time to attend to my beloved pups. When I'm house sitting, my supportive spouse happily dedicates their time to our furry companions. This ensures that pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. We are only taking cats into our home at this time as we have a spare room for them where we normally host animals for the OSPCA.
About: Hello! I’ve pet-sat, walked dogs, and cared for animals in friends and family’s homes for over 14 years. Looking to do it more often and expand my clientele. I love animals and really enjoy pet-sitting in either my home or yours. I work 2 minutes from home so taking care of them during the day is very easy. These jobs allow me to spend time with animals which I absolute love! Please note that I’ve had this app for a while but only decided to take on clients a couple weeks ago. I am very excited to begin this pet sitting journey through Rover! I can provide excellent references if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with pet owners to figure out a schedule that works best for us both (and of course your pets). :) As previously mentioned, I am unable to have animals of my own, so I really enjoy spending quality time with the animals I care for.
About: I grew up with dogs (rescues and breeder dogs) and also watched friends & family dogs of all age and sizes. I have experience with special needs. From training puppies to taking care of senior dogs, all dogs are worthy of patience, love and care. I’m currently working from home full-time therefore, I am available to love and hang out with your fur baby/babies at all time. I have a large fenced in backyard that the dogs can play and run and go out as often as needed. Pack walks or individual walks are also an option at all times. I have a large fenced yard and 2 dog friendly dogs (one 8 pounds male and one 17 pounds female) of my own. All of my dogs are special needs in one way or another so nothing is too much for me! My pups are crate trained and can do the same for yours if needed!

“Selina &Pascal were absolutely amazing with Tiger. Tiger looked extremely relaxed and happy in all the pictures they sent me of him. I highly recommend Selina & Pascal to care for you furry baby!”
“Molly enjoyed her stay with Benjamin and his family. She was very well taken care of and Benjamin kept us updated with photographs of her and how she was adjusting. This meant a great deal to us especially when Molly needed medical attention. He took her to our vet, where she was examined and given the appropriate testing and medication and kept us informed throughout the ordeal. We highly recommend Benjamin….😃🐾”
“My dogs, Moose and Chester, had an amazing stay at the farm! Ashley was incredibly kind and kept me updated throughout their time with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she truly loves and understands animals. She even administered Chester’s medication with no issues. The boys were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better place for them! I highly recommend!”
“Hannah is by far my favourite dog sitter! My dog loves all the attention, cuddles, and adventures he gets and I love all the photos and updates that let me see what a great time he's having.”
“My dog LOVED Paige. As an Australian Shepherd owner, I worried about where to board my dog that she would get enough exercise and attention. After seeing Paige’s great reviews from other people, I decided to reach out. I’m so happy I did!! When we returned from our vacation, my dog was tired, happy, and well cared for. Paige kept me updated throughout the time that I was away, sending pictures of their adventures together. I highly recommend Paige.”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my dog, Kobe, while we were away for three days. She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear he was happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were on vacation. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Mélina is awesome. She was a life saver for us when we wanted to board our little boy for a night and had to book at the last minute. She accommodated our request graciously and took excellent care of Cooper. It was Cooper's first time away from us and he felt at home with Mélina. She kept updating us regularly with pics. I cannot recommend her enough and would not hesitate to reach out to her again. Knowing our little boy was in good hands gave us all the peace of mind we needed during our trip.”
“Justyne did a wonderful job taking care of our boston for the long weekend. She's a total pro too. We were super impressed with some of the stuff she did while looking after him, and we're looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“I worried my sweet little Golden Retriever would feel abandoned and anxious in a stranger's house. She took to Danielle immediately on first meeting. Wasn't anxious when I left. By all reports, she really enjoyed her time with Danielle and Mat in their home and spacious backyard. Their affection for animals shines through. When I picked her up, Willow was happy to see us but not so much as if relieved. She roamed the property like it was hers. It was obvious she had as much a vacation as we did.”
“I would give 6 stars if I could. Catherine is a wonderful person who knows dogs and has a welcoming home for pets to stay. My 2 Porties enjoyed their stay and I was happy that they had a great home environment to relax in. Catherine sent some photos, videos and texts so that we could see how the dogs were settling in. I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine as a sitter for dogs. I definately look forward to having my furry friends stay with her again.”
“We had a great experience with Manali. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her.”
“After having read such excellent reviews of Madeline and Ryan, we felt completely assured to leave our 2 year old dog with them. And they turned out to be exactly as the reviews said (excellent). Given our dog is quite timid in nature, we appreciate the patience and understanding that both Madeline and Ryan showed. We also appreciate the honest feedback that helped us learn about it our little one’s personality outside our home. We would definitely return to them in future.”
“Thank you to Kathrine and family for taking such good care of Reese. We could tell that Reese was well taken care of and felt very comfortable in their home and with the family. We appreciated the daily photos and updates.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with Alfie. He was healing from an injury and she took great care of him and dosed out his meds perfectly. She communicated with us every day and let us know how he was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and not at all stressed.”
“Krista and Marc were amazing with our dog, made me feel very comfortable to leave my fur baby with them from the first moment I met them. She took such great care of Charlie and gave him lots of love, walks, treats, made him feel safe when he was worried, and sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay. 100% recommend!”
“Mahnaz was wonderful with our temperamental little Mocha while he stayed with her last week, and had patience with him while he settled in. She sent many pictures and videos while we were away, so we could see that he was well cared for. We’ve already booked a second stay.”
“Josée was an amazing dog sitter. Our dog Juny instantly fell in love with her. She took care of her needs, above and beyond. The guilt instantly disappeared, she was in dog paradise while we were on vacation. Thanks again! ❤️💜🩵”
