“We were away for 11 days and Paige has been amazing. Piet is so happy and getting lots of walks and play time. Paige communicated greatly with photos and videos during this time. Thanks again Paige”
“Tanya is great!!! I would recommend 100%! She was amazing with our Cockapoo who has separation anxiety. Our dog Bella was even sitting on her lap and enjoying herself. Our dog was not comfortable at the kennel and would even try to bite the workers there out of fear. I was very hesitant that she would do well with a sitter. Tanya reassured me that our dog would be ok and sent pictures and updates often. I was happy to see Bella smiling and looking relaxed!! What a relief to go away and not worry! We will be returning for sure.”
“Lynda is the best for smaller dogs! Our Milo felt like having a vacation at her home with her 3 little paw babies. All 3 and any guest dogs r all friendly, playful, well behaving ones that genuinely enjoy each other’s company. Highly recommend !”
“My dogs had a great time with Bridget. They came home happy and tired! She is very quick with communication and was very accommodating on short notice! We will definitely use her again.”
“Kirstin and Justin were amazing with my dog! They sent multiple daily photo updates and even coordinated a meeting one week prior to our booking to ensure a smooth stay. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
“This is the second time our fur baby has stayed with Claire. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. Our pup is relaxed, happy and very well looked after. Our dog has a few special needs given her age that Claire happily takes care of. We love the regular updates that include pics or short videos. Claire’s dog is very friendly and a great companion to any visiting dogs. We have no hesitation recommending Claire!”
“Bronco LOVES going to see Lindsay and her family! He’s slightly obsessed with her little boy. 🤣 I can always relax knowing that he is being taken care of, and he comes home happy and not at all stressed.”
“Selina and Pascal were amazing with both our pups! They went on plenty of walks, let them on their couch/blankets to cuddle and gave them alllll the attention. They even have extra dog toys and bed for their visitors :) They sent us plenty of pics throughout the stay; that’s highly appreciated! My dogs were both pooped when I picked them up. Highly recommend them (we are even booking monthly overnights for our dogs to get used to them prior to an extended stay). I will always book Selina and Pascal from now on :)”
“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! ❤️”
“Joan is so loving to my dog Simba. He was having a great time with her over the weekend and went on plenty of adventures with her! I'm afraid he might get bored with me at home now 😂. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby ❤️ I would definitely recommend!”
“Mirian was amazing with Autumn! Communication was outstanding and I could feel the love she was giving our fur baby in our absence. Will definitely we booking with her again”
“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!”
“As a repeat client, I can’t recommend Hui enough! She took Bruiser on beautiful walks, sent many sweet videos and updates, and overall provides a safe and loving environment.”
“Miaozi was a fantastic sitter! She took great care to learn all about what my dog needed and accommodate his needs. She took him on plenty of walks and provided regular updates. Her warm, calm energy was perfect for my timid dog. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!!”
“Super sweet people who took excellent care of our old guy who had quite a few hiccups settling in. The whole family gave him cuddles and kept him company, and we got lots of pics and updates throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend! :)”

“Elizabeth was an excellent pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. She communicated clearly and consistently, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was kind and thoughtful with both our family and our cat, and it was obvious our pet was in great hands. She also stepped in to help us out of a last-minute jam, which we truly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Nafisa took great care of my cat Bobbi for 25 days while I was travelling. She sent photos on several occasions to show me how Bobbi was settling in to her new environment. She also consulted me when she noticed a small sore on my cat. Nafisa and her husband were both warm and inviting to my cat and I would not hesitate to trust Bobbi to their care again. I would highly recommend her as a cat sitter.”
“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!”
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I like creating a nice environment for them with fresh water, food and play indoors and out. Lots of physical exercise in the yard and on trails and at the river. I have had a dogs and cats, birds and rabbits since childhood. I am very responsible and kind and fun. I have 18 years experience as a care worker for medically fragile and disabled people and the home. I also take care of the animals in the home and grooming and safety. I am happy to open my home to caring for people’s animals and look forward to getting to know your family and your animals. Take Care, CJ. I have plenty of time to give attention to pets in our home. The animals are first in the routine with fresh water, food and outdoor exercise. I have a large, private lot that the dogs can play in on their leash. We have a large home where I provide very safe care for every animal.
“Mckinna was excellent. We had her house/cat sit and when we came home the house was in order and she left a beautiful card and framed drawing of our babies. She would send updates during our vacation and we came home to some very happy and well taken care of kitties. We would recommend her services.”
“Danika loves our cats and they love her back. She’s conscientious, takes excellent care of them and the house and sends updates often which I really appreciate. I never worry when she’s “on the job!””
About: While I haven’t worked with cats professionally, I’ve always loved them. I regularly spend time with my brother’s cat, who I help care for when he’s away. I’m familiar with the independent nature of cats, and I enjoy bonding with them through play, quiet companionship, and respecting their space. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well looked after in your absence.
About: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is the level of care, attention, and dedication I bring to every feline I look after. I have hands-on experience with cats that require specialized care, including my mom’s cat, whom I cared for after eye surgery—administering medications, monitoring recovery, and ensuring a calm environment for healing. I’m meticulous when it comes to hygiene and comfort, and I actually enjoy deep-cleaning cat areas, litter boxes, and accessories to keep everything fresh and safe for the cats in my care. Over a six-month period, I successfully took care of a friend’s six cats, balancing different personalities and needs while maintaining a happy and healthy environment. On top of that, I have two hairless cats of my own, which means I’m well-versed in the extra attention and maintenance they require, such as regular bathing, skincare, and temperature regulation. My experience with both everyday care and special needs makes me a reliable, attentive, and exceptionally thorough cat sitter.
About: Raised with dogs and working in our family dog boarding kennel, I offer skilled and loving care. Your pets will receive top-notch attention and affection. I provide loving, attentive care with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, ensuring your dog stays healthy, happy, and comfortable while you’re away and safe I provide personalized care, following feeding, walking, and playtime routines. Pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my home or theirs, with attention to every detail.
“Christie is amazing! This is the second time she has looked after our cat while I’ve been out of town and she goes above and beyond for him, as well as with care for our apartment. She is very good with communication and very easily adaptable when plans change. She’s the best!”
About: I've been a cat lover and owner for over 20 years. I love having dogs in our home, playing and taking walks in our local neighborhood. I work from home full time and would love extra company. I'm looking to gain more hands on experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly cats. A large house that is warm and loving. Live close to parks for walks and exploring.
About: I offer services in West Ottawa area and Barrhaven. I have travelled as a pet sitter in Ontario, Alberta, BC and Colorado. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, crabs, fish, and frogs. House plants are great too I live in Stittsville, West Ottawa. I work 9-5 remotely so I love to travel within Canada. My work is flexible so I am able to walk your dogs around their own schedules I am reliable, confident and precise about pet care. Leave detailed instructions and everything else will be taken care of :) I look forward to falling in love with your fur baby!
“We are more then thankful and grateful for Abigail’s pet sitting services. Our Luna was loved and taken care of by Aby. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the week. The house was immaculate when we returned. She even took out the huge pile of garbage we add accumulated through winter. I recommend her services ? %. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Abigail. Luna misses you ? Martine and Adison”
About: I’ve taken care of most pets; dogs, cats, fish and hamsters for quite a long time and find comfort in spending time with animals as well as taking care of other people’s family members. I work at the hospital so my schedule is different but can be rather flexible. I will mostly be available during the day and can make a few exceptions depending on the day! Taking care of things is second nature to me, as the oldest siblings as well as my workplace. Safety, trust and integrity are the strongest pillars of my life.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)
About: I am very flexible to your pets needs... If they require me to stay up all night, I WILL! If they need me to go out in the middle of the night, LET'S GO my priority will be to make them happy and comfortable... House-Sitting? - Sure thing, I can come down there as soon as the pet needs me! Just let me know what they love most and I'll make sure they don't feel lonely. I can feed them, I can hug them, I can be a great friend. Dog-Walking? - Do they like to run me too? - Just let me know, I can go forever when i am with them! They wanna play outside, just give me there favorite toy... Hurry Up, he/she might be hungry for some food/love while you are away, just let me know and i'll be there for them!
About: ROVER is my favourite way to enjoy pets and new areas. I work as an education assistant. I work short days on a full time basis. I am able to take weekdays within Ottawa if your pets can be left alone during the day. Weekends, holidays and summers I can go anywhere for my Rover clients. I am currently also in business for myself as a BreathWork & Transformation coach, and have workshops both online and in person. I am certified as a Spiritual coach, Meditation coach, and Manifestation coach. I have both a SSW and Business Management Diploma. I believe in continuous learning. Since I was born, I have always had a pet in my life. The dogs I have loved included a German Shepherd, a Shepherd mix, a Husky mix, a Shih Tzu, a Rottweiler /Boxer mix and a Boxer /French Pin mix. The cats in my life included a Calico mix, a Tiger mix, and a Manx. As my life goals are coming to fruition, I know that this is not the right time for me to personally home, love, and care for an animal of my own. My children are all grown, and I am currently more interested in traveling, whether in my own backyard or halfway around the world, I want to see all that I can!! I LOVE to have new adventures, I am simply here to provide the love I have for my own pets to your precious furry family member while enjoying your city, town or neighbourhood. My home is currently in Ottawa, and as I have been recently hired as an education, assistant, I am able to take Rover clients on weekdays within the Ottawa area, if you are close to Orleans. Most weekdays, I may be at work for 7 hours. On weekends, holidays and summers, I am able to travel further for my Rover clients. Much of my family lives in Cornwall, so I love the opportunity to take clients there. I am also willing to drive to Montreal, Pembroke/Petawawa, Kingston, Toronto or Niagara Falls areas if you need me for 1 week or longer. I am able to take your dogs out for short walks, weather permitting, if they are not pullers. As I don’t drink, smoke cigarettes, or use drugs, that will never be happening in your home. I have great energy that animals can feel. Most timid or shy dogs warm up to me faster than you would except. My reviews showcase the results. I have a clear criminal record as well as a clear vulnerable police record.

“Wonderful home to bring your pups to! The warmest couple that treated my dog Sunnie just as if she was their own. The property is beautiful and perfect for country living and a safe sanctuary for any pet. Sunnie came home happy and I will not hesitate to bring Sunnie back soon for another visit. She was in great hands!”
About: I am a former dog owner of an 18 year old Cockapoo I lost 1,5 years ago. Prior to this I cared for my 19 year old Spaniel/terrier. In addition, I am listed on Trusted House sitters as a Five star House/pet sitter. My last girl, I took care of her in Pallative state, administering, meds, special allergy bathing , going to the Vet for fluids and other treatments. Carry her down the deck stairs for her potty time when her ability was no longer there to climb up and down stairs etc. I had both of my dogs as a puppy and trained them with some dog trainers and my own training. I still have bedding, dishes, wire and mesh crate, toys! I am retired, I have some spare time depending on some days between appointments and trips into Ottawa. I would be more available during the day and early evenings I have a fenced yard, with plenty of grass down below the deck area. I am close to walking trails and sidewalks outside of my home. I do have a wired and mesh crate. I may administer some oral medication. Walk, feed, give lots of love, hugs and attention to your fur baby!
“It was a first time visit for our dog "Jennie" and for ourselves to meet Bridget and see the farm. What a wonderful experience for a dog. Lots to see and do and new aromas to discover. Apparently Jennie helped round up some pigs! That certainly is a first for her. She came home thoroughly exhausted in the best possible way. We actually had a quiet evening - no zoomies as she was played out - yah!”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our puppy Isla. Her dog Alfie is such a good companion and was so good with her. Isla was absolutely pooped by the end of their visits. Smooth communication, drop off and pick up. We will definitely be back!”
About: I have experience raising two dogs from puppyhood through to their senior years, providing consistent care and attention throughout their lives. I also have a 10-year-old spayed female Labrador, Elsa, who is a calm and loving companion, and would be a friendly presence for your dog. As a homemaker, I am able to provide dedicated, compassionate, and reliable care, ensuring the well-being of your dog at all times. With over two decades of experience caring for dogs, my household has always been a warm and active environment that includes beloved canine companions. My husband and kids are extremely dog-friendly and supportive, so your pet will not only receive my devoted care but also plenty of love and attention from our whole family. Our home is cozy and welcoming and has enough space, offering plenty of room for your dog to feel right at home. It is a multi-level townhouse, with the upstairs offering quiet retreats for restful naps. With our whole family's love, your dog will be a welcomed addition to our home, receiving constant company, comfort, and supervision as part of our daily routine. During the meet-and-greet, we can discuss and adapt any arrangements to best suit your dog's specific comfort and sleep preferences.
About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and grew up surrounded by pets. Back home, my family owned and operated a kennel, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I’ve truly seen it all. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling different temperaments, and recognizing pets’ individual needs and routines. We also bathe and groom pets ourselves, so I’m experienced with hands-on care beyond just walks and feeding. For me, pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. Me and my husband work from home and will have ample time through the day to spend with our furry additions. I am available on weekends and stat holidays too. I have a huge yard and two friendly dogs to keep good company to your fur baby. I have an outdoor and indoor crate along with an option of playpens that can be setup anywhere based on your preferences.
“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: Looking for loving daycare or overnight care for your dog? Our mini Golden Doodle is ready to welcome your furry friend with open paws! As a dedicated work-from-home professional, I can provide consistent supervision for your dog throughout the day. Your pet will enjoy unrestricted access to a spacious, fenced yard and will benefit from on-leash or off-leash trail walks. I ensure your dog receives ample attention, cuddles, and playtime. While you're away, I'll keep you updated with frequent photos, providing peace of mind and ensuring your pet's well-being. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your dog's needs. Please contact me to discuss any special requests or considerations to ensure your pet has the best experience possible. I collaborate with each family to address the specific safety needs of their pets. My goal is to ensure that you are completely confident and comfortable with our setup before leaving your pet in our care.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years, and I’ve also volunteered with dog rescues where I had the privilege of fostering many pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From tiny lap dogs to big goofy giants, I’m comfortable caring for them all. What We Offer 🐾 A loving, family-centered home environment 🐾 Experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities 🐾 A safe space with both canine and feline friends for social pups 🐾 Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles Whether your dog loves to run around and play or prefers to curl up for naps, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. Since both my partner and I work from home, pet care is naturally built into our daily routine. We’re home throughout the day, which means your pup will never be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks are part of the rhythm of our household, and our kids love being involved too. Because we’re around so much, we can keep a close eye on feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs your dog may have. Our own pets, Ivy and Marley, also make sure there’s plenty of interaction and companionship. Caring for animals has always been a part of our lives, so welcoming another dog into our daily routine feels like second nature. In our home, pets are cared for just like family. Since we don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised — dogs go out on a long leash for playtime, potty breaks, and fresh air. This way, they’re safe while still getting plenty of exercise and stimulation. Inside, they’re welcomed into our daily family routine with lots of love, play, and attention. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, whether they’re in my home or in their own.
“My pup had a wonderful day and got to celebrate Chinese new year’s with homemade puppy approved dumplings! He always comes back with a big smile 😃 and tuckered out. Great combo. 💯”
About: Hi my name is Melanie and I have 2 adopted dogs of my own, Bear 10 years old and Navi 3. They are well trained and mannered Australian shepperds and Aussie Bernese mix. They are my world and the reason I wanted to get into pet care full time. After rescuing Navi last year at 2 years old and starting from scratch on her training and recovery. I realized how much in love I was with having a hand in her growth, so I made it my goal to do pet care full time. I just started on Rover and hope to gain more experience through Rover, so in the future help other dogs like my Navi. I have my Canine First Aid certificate and a Canine Behavior/Temperment assesment certification to be able to provide the best care. I do have experience training and managing, high energy, work breeds, with the land and space to accommodate their needs. I live on a large lot surronded only by farm fields and a fair distance from the road. It's a quite area with no neighbors so your dog can be a dog. I have 1 med fenced area and 1 x-large fenced area for the dogs to have freedom outside and allows for seperated playtime if they don't do well with other dogs, we also can facilitate seperated space for your dog away from my own pets if you have concerns. I also have a 40ftx40ft heated and renovated empty garage space for play time and running during bad weather. I also have experience with the birth and care of puppies as well as the recources and seperate space for boarding and daycare of young puppies. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing them a home away from home! :) I do pet care full time so I'm available all day to take care of your pet. I do have pet drop of and pick up times for daycare so that I am available and not taken away from the other dogs in my care. Drop off is 7-8 am, pick up 6-7pm. I am fairly flexable if you need to pick up or drop off outside these times, I just ask that you please inform me at booking. I also provide a Bark-and-Ride service for boarding on a case by case bases. Reach out if this service interests you to see if im available to accommodate you. I'm home at all times when I have a dog in my care, so your pup is never left alone. We have a large fenced in area and a large indoor play space for pets in our care to get multiple high energy play times during the day, but I also incourage quite time to not over stimulate the dogs.
“Hannah is great with caring for both our senior dog and energetic puppy! They always get lots of exercise and come home tired from daycare. She is very responsive and sends lots of pictures! I love getting the updates on what they are doing during the day.”
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!
“Ozzie had a fantastic day with Sarah! Such a warm welcoming spot, he was instantly at home. Sarah was also very accommodating and communication was excellent. We will definitely return! Thanks!!”

“Elizabeth is really a gentle sensitive dog lover. I was very happy to have her take care of my dog Penny. She tried to help Penny with some of her insecurities. I also received photos of their walks daily. I will definitely have Elizabeth again ❤️❤️”
“Oleshia and Andew took such great care of our dog while we were away. It really helped take the stress of us knowing she was in such great care. You can tell they really love dogs! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“The owner of Shakespeare was very nervous about trusting a stranger to look after her precious little dog. With her kindness and cheerful disposition, Bev was able to help both dog and owner to happily adjust to having a dog walker. We are grateful for her help!”

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. I have often had more than 1 at a time and can’t imagine life without a fur baby. There truly is nothing like doggie love 💜. Friends and family know they can depend on me to care for their pets as if they were my own. Dogs seem to instinctively know that I am a sucker for a fur face. I am truly excited to have made a career change that will allow me to embrace my passion for pets. I work part time ( mostly from home). I am flexible as I schedule my own hours and can work around any special requirements you may have. I live in a rural area with a large yard. I usually go out walking with my dogs for an hour in the morning and a half hour in the afternoon. I do have some long leads by the door for quick potty breaks. I am home during the day and love to have cuddles and play time.
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: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I’ve been watching neighbours, family and friends pet when they need a helping hand. Always looking forward to getting outside to go for walks. I’m currently working from home, so it allows me to keep an eye on your pet. During my breaks I can play with your pet as well as give them lots of love and attention throughout the day! I have a big yard for your dog to run around in. Recently got a puppy, so it would be great for them to play together.
“Met Jessica for the first time yesterday. She’s very pleasant and clearly a dog lover, my girls (never shy) took to her right away and she handled their silliness very well. They had a great walk. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thanks very much!!”
“Mckinna is super friendly and easy to communicate with. I appreciated the picture of Ava after her walk and the update of how it went! Definitely will be booking Mckinna for more services in the future”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.
About: I have been a volunteer dog foster in Ottawa for more than 8 years now! No matter the injury, background, or breed, I have learnt to deal with them all. Pet care fills easily in my life as I have been doing it for awhile now! Message me about dates and times and I will make it happen! I treat everyone with respect! I don’t overcrowd or intrude but make you and your pet feel comfortable in my presence. Frequent contact and communication is a valuable skill of mine
About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of most pets; dogs, cats, fish and hamsters for quite a long time and find comfort in spending time with animals as well as taking care of other people’s family members. I work at the hospital so my schedule is different but can be rather flexible. I will mostly be available during the day and can make a few exceptions depending on the day! Taking care of things is second nature to me, as the oldest siblings as well as my workplace. Safety, trust and integrity are the strongest pillars of my life.
About: Nice to meet you! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m responsible, communicative, and dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a full time job from 830am to 430pm on Mondays to Fridays. I am very flexible outside of those hours if you need someone trustworthy to watch over your pet. Your pet’s safety comes first. I always use secure leashes, check gates and doors, and keep a close eye on them. I know how important trust is, so I can send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy. I keep things calm, clean, and cozy so your pet feels right at home.

“Kirstin and Justin were amazing with my dog! They sent multiple daily photo updates and even coordinated a meeting one week prior to our booking to ensure a smooth stay. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
“This is the second time our fur baby has stayed with Claire. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. Our pup is relaxed, happy and very well looked after. Our dog has a few special needs given her age that Claire happily takes care of. We love the regular updates that include pics or short videos. Claire’s dog is very friendly and a great companion to any visiting dogs. We have no hesitation recommending Claire!”
“Bronco LOVES going to see Lindsay and her family! He’s slightly obsessed with her little boy. 🤣 I can always relax knowing that he is being taken care of, and he comes home happy and not at all stressed.”
“Selina and Pascal were amazing with both our pups! They went on plenty of walks, let them on their couch/blankets to cuddle and gave them alllll the attention. They even have extra dog toys and bed for their visitors :) They sent us plenty of pics throughout the stay; that’s highly appreciated! My dogs were both pooped when I picked them up. Highly recommend them (we are even booking monthly overnights for our dogs to get used to them prior to an extended stay). I will always book Selina and Pascal from now on :)”
“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! ❤️”
“Mirian was amazing with Autumn! Communication was outstanding and I could feel the love she was giving our fur baby in our absence. Will definitely we booking with her again”

“Kathrine family was amazing! It was my first time using the app. and couldn’t be happier. My dog was going on multiple walks a day, got aome pictures and updates.

“Timon had such a great day with Jocelyn and Jason! He had a blast playing with their sweet dog, Bella, and came home happy, exhausted, and well exercised. Thanks again, Jason and Jocelyn!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and grew up surrounded by pets. Back home, my family owned and operated a kennel, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I’ve truly seen it all. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling different temperaments, and recognizing pets’ individual needs and routines. We also bathe and groom pets ourselves, so I’m experienced with hands-on care beyond just walks and feeding. For me, pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. Me and my husband work from home and will have ample time through the day to spend with our furry additions. I am available on weekends and stat holidays too. I have a huge yard and two friendly dogs to keep good company to your fur baby. I have an outdoor and indoor crate along with an option of playpens that can be setup anywhere based on your preferences.
“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!”
“Duane & Anna took wonderful care of our dog, provided daily updates, and the money raised from boarding goes to a great cause. Would highly recommend booking a stay with Duane & Anna.”
