“We had our dogs stay with Tanya during our hectic wedding weekend and her friendly and unobtrusive updates gave us the peace of mind we needed to focus on the event. Luna and Wall-E seem happy and healthy as ever and they don’t seem to’ve gotten themselves into too much trouble while we were away. Our thanks go out to Tanya for being so accommodating and contributing to the success of our celebration.”

“Clair took great care of our pup. she sent pictures throughout the day and made our dog feel very comfortable immediately. we couldn't have asked for a better experience. thanks so much. highly recommended.”
“We left our Boston terrier Oscar with Miaozi for almost two weeks. Starting from meet and greet we absolutely love to find such a great caring and loving sitter! Honestly, it was like leaving your pet with a very long known friend or family member. Absolutely trustable and responsible, very punctual. And the most important - you feel safe and confident your pet is staying with a loving friend while you’re so faraway. I highly recommend Miaozi to anyone looking for a great sitter for your furry baby.”

“Qianzhi is an incredible dog sitter! She was super responsive, kind, took wonderful care of our high energy pup, and sent lots of wonderful photos and videos while we were away for 5 days. I can’t recommend her enough! Will definitely book again.”
“Emily & Alison and their family were super responsible and friendly with Liuliu! They ensured I could receive daily updates and that she got lots of exercise during her first stay at theirs. She looked happy in the photos, already felt welcomed, and made herself at home. Definitely would like to book with them again!”
“Johanna is a kind and incredibly reliable dog watcher who truly treats pets like family. Cosmo needs a bit of time to trust new people, and she gave him the space, calm energy & gentle reassurance he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing she respected his personality, made him feel safe and comfortable. He was relaxed, well‑fed and happy when we picked him up. We are very grateful and will happily book with her again.”
“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! ❤️”
“Bruiser had such a fun stay with Hui! He loved playing with Mibao and his beautiful walks. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos from Hui, and how much she cared for Bruiser while I was away. I would recommend Hui to anyone!”

“We left our senior dog PJ with Vivian and her parents, and they took amazing care of him. We got many updates and pictures to show how well he was doing. PJ comes with a long list of medications and special requests and they were great at following all of them! I would not hesitate to recommend them to take care of your dog!”
“Left our two year old Ace with Stephanie while we did a short getaway. First time using Stephanie for dog care and she was fantastic. She arranged a meet and greet in advance for us to connect and see if everyone felt comfortable. Stephanie is super personable, incredibly responsive and we appreciated the regular updates and pictures while our pup was in her care, assuring us everything was going well. Would highly recommend Stephanie for your dog sitting needs!”

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 dog was so tired after a great stay! I got lots of amazing updates and photos. Great family home with fenced backyard and a fabulous family. Will have my sweet baby boy there again for sure ♥️”
“Susana was great with Nugget- very consistent communication throughout the stay. She was very patient with him as he adjusted to a new location. You can tell their whole family loves having pups in their care.”

“Heather was absolutely amazing with our three cats! I’m very protective of my cats and I tend to worry a lot when I’m away from them, especially because each of them has a different personality and their own little routine. I left Heather quite a lot of details and instructions, and she was incredibly patient, understanding, and respectful of everything. She kept me updated throughout our trip with messages, pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. What made me happiest was watching our cats gradually become more and more comfortable with her. Even our shy ones started coming around, spending time with her, and eventually even sleeping in her room. It was very clear that she took the time to earn their trust rather than forcing interaction with them. ❤️ Heather went above and beyond in so many ways. She treated our cats and our home with so much care, and I truly felt that they were in safe and loving hands while we were away. By the end of the stay, I honestly think they were going to miss her too! 🥰 I would absolutely ask Heather to pet sit for us again without hesitation. Knowing that I now have someone I can trust this much with my babies will make traveling so much easier in the future. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Heather! ❤️🐾”
“We have used Bronya on several occasions for our Baby Pinot (cat) Pinot adores Bronya he runs to her when she calls him, she is amazing with Pinot. If you wish updates Bronya will send updates I would recommend Bronya at anytime with any of your babies, thank you Bronya for another great job of taking care of Pinot”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Abbey and they both did not disappoint. Abbey was exceptional, going above and beyond, including doing the dishes used for meals, while we're were gone. She sent daily updates and pictures keeping us in the loop so we could enjoy our time away. We couldn't ask for a better first impression, thank you!”
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: I believe cats thrive on routine, consistency, and a calm environment. During drop-ins, I’ll spend time with them if they’re interested—or simply be a quiet, reassuring presence if that’s what they prefer. I pay close attention to litter habits, food and water intake, behaviour, and overall wellbeing. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing enrichment and play when appropriate. I’m passionate about Fear Free care and creating a low-stress, comfortable environment where every cat can feel safe and be themselves.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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!
“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 several years of professional and independent pet care experience, including dog daycare, pet retail, dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting, overnight care and extended stays. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility for pets who benefit from having someone around throughout the day, and I’m especially interested in building relationships with regular clients. I previously worked in dog daycare where I cared for groups of up to 75 dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, crating, administering medications, puppy care, senior care and working with special-needs dogs who require additional attention or accommodations. I’m also trained in canine first aid and comfortable caring for pets with more involved routines. Through my previous work at Village Pets Boutique, I gained extensive knowledge of pet nutrition, supplements and natural health products. Before that, I worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart, giving me an even broader background in animal care and handling. I’m equally comfortable with cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my work at PetSmart as well as independent drop-ins, house sitting and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable staying in a client’s home for extended periods and frequently provide this type of care while clients are travelling. Animals have also always been a huge part of my life outside of work. I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and currently have two black Labs back home, Louie and Lenny. I bring a calm, capable and compassionate approach to pet care and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, overnight sitting and extended stays, and I’m especially interested in finding regular clients who need consistent weekly care. My schedule can vary week to week, so feel free to message me about what you’re looking for! For house sitting, I’m very comfortable staying overnight or for longer periods and can often continue my normal workday from your home while keeping your pet company. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, especially when caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your usual feeding, walking, medication, crate, sleep and exercise routines and take the time to learn your pet’s individual habits, boundaries and personality. My professional daycare experience has made me very comfortable reading animal body language, recognizing stress or changes in behaviour and safely managing pets with very different temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with more specific routines or needs. When house sitting or staying overnight, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is cared for while they’re away, not just their pet!

“I have just left my 12-year-old Bichon with Yu and Michelle for the first time for a doggy daycare experiment. The experience was amazing! They provided numerous updates, photos and videos through the day as my dog adapted to new people and a new space. They were incredibly patient. I could not be any happier and will definitely come back.”
“We were very thankful for Nicole and Eddie’s availability on short notice when we needed to go out of town for the day. Both Teaka and Ciera were so excited when we arrived and they were very happy with their stay. They treated our girls like their own which put our minds at ease. I would totally recommend their services.”
About: I love providing companionship and care for pets while their humans are away, so they feel comfortable, loved, and never alone. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each dog as an individual and recognize their unique personality, needs, and comfort level. I have had four dogs of my own throughout my life—a Husky, Poodles, a Papillon, and a Maltese—with each relationship lasting more than 10 years. These experiences have given me a great understanding of how different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities can have very different needs. I also provide frequent dog care for friends and my communities, which has helped me become comfortable and adaptable when meeting and caring for new pets. With SPCA training, I have developed the skills to handle dogs confidently in most situations while remaining attentive to their comfort and safety. I also pay close attention to subtle cues in a dog's body language and behaviour, which helps me understand when they are excited, anxious, uncomfortable, tired, or simply need some space, exercise, affection, or reassurance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and cared for according to their individual needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with different routines and scheduling needs to provide the best care possible for your dog. I am a psychotherapist who works from home so I'm pretty much with your dog 24-7. This also gives me the privilege to keep a straight routine and attend to the needs of my furry friends. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly home with a backyard that provides easy and convenient access for potty breaks and outdoor time. The neighbourhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with nearby parks, walking trails, and safe pedestrian sidewalks for regular walks and exercise. There is also a dog park just a 5-minute drive away, providing an additional option for outdoor activity and play when appropriate. I always prioritize each dog’s individual comfort, safety, and routine, and will adjust outdoor activities based on their energy level, personality, and needs.
“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.”
“Bingo had a pleasant stay with Gursharan. Bingo made a new friend with another Golden Retriever. Gursharan was kind enough to take Bingo out for a walk and play in the snow. He also sent a pic. and was easy to reach and communication was easy. Bingo returned happy. Will definitely contact Gursharan if I am returning to the area.”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I've owned five rescued huskies. I currently have 3 huskies. I walk, groom, feed, and train my animals. I have fostered two dogs, one which was a palliative case. I am comfortable giving medication and other medical care (ie: ear cleaning). I have been paid to board two dogs by a private client and had them as clients for a year. With the dog rescue I volunteer with, I have provided transport for dogs ranging in personality. I work full time from home, Monday - Friday. With my own dogs, they receive 4 walks per day (2 hours total), along with 30 mins of playtime. We visit a private fenced dog park. I spend most of my free time with my dogs. I am also heavily involved with an Ottawa based dog rescue. I transport dogs, have fostered, and do short term dog sitting for fosters. My dogs are fitted with a harness and I use a waist belt to walk them. No dropped leashes! Unless you have a preference, for safety, your dog would be double leashed - one waist belt and one slip lead. I have double front doors, helping to prevent any escaped dogs. I own two huskies so am very familiar with escape artists. Any toys or bones given (strictly only with request or permission from owner) will only be with the dog when supervised (helps to prevent obstructions & other possible injuries) I have a completely fenced backyard. However, your dog would still be supervised while outside. We will not meet other dogs while walking unless you would like your dog to. Proper communication will be used with other dog owners and off leash dogs will not be allowed to approach. This keeps all parties safe and comfortable.
“Archie loved his days with Brianna. She was fantastic with a 4month old puppy. Archie had plenty of excercise and lots of socializing with other animals. Brianna is also very accommodating with last minute schedule changed and went out of her way to help. 100% would recommend!”
“You can tell that Linda and Joe love dogs! They were the sweetest with our little Moka, and went above and beyond with pictures and updates. Their little Louie was a sweet boy and was happy to play with Moka. We highly recommend them, and will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.
“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 ❤️❤️”
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.
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'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: Hi! I'm Angela. I'm 26 years old and I'm a student at Carleton University. I love animals very much (especially dogs and cats) and I look forward to taking care of your pet(s)! I'm located in the Nepean area of Ottawa and I am able to relocate for your pet’s needs. I was born and raised in Toronto where I grew up with several dogs in my lifetime. Right now, I have an 11 year old cockapoo named Zeus (he doesn't live with me) so I have tons of experience with dogs and their many, many needs! Zeus is also a senior citizen with hip dysplasia, so I understand the importance of patience and gentleness when it comes to caring for senior dogs and cats. I take pride in making sure that the dogs I'm taking care of are always walked, exercised, fed/well-rested. All dogs are welcome! I provide basically all services offered on Rover. As a settler in Ottawa, I recognize that I am on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. I offer free compassionate care for Indigenous dog owners, and discounted rates for low-income or disabled dog owners. Ask me about the free services I provide! (E.g bathing, playtime, etc). I look forward to caring for your lovely pet(s)<3. I'm currently a part-time student at Carleton University. I'm in 2 classes - one on Monday, and one on Wednesday. Other than that, my availability is quite open. I accept same-day bookings. I have a fenced yard and a big schoolyard very close to where I live - I'm extremely active, so frequent walks are my speciality. Younger dogs or highly active dogs are more than welcome. Senior dogs, or doggies who require more frequent potty breaks are also more than welcome.
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! I do work a part-time job and will need to leave for around 5 hours in the day but just me about dates and times and I will adjust my schedule ! 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 watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.

“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”

“I am so thrilled to have connected with Kristina! My two boys Charlie and Gus were so well taken care of and made to feel right at home with she and her family.

I loved receiving the many photos and updates as this was the first time I have left them with anyone but family! I have already booked again!”
“We had an outstanding experience with Duane and his family. From drop-off to pick-up, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating to our schedule. They provide a warm, welcoming environment that is clearly dedicated to the well-being of the dogs in their care. Throughout Barlee’s stay, Duane communicated with us regularly, providing frequent updates that gave us complete peace of mind. He even went above and beyond by putting together a fun music video!

About: I have owned 2 dogs in my lifetime. My first dog Buster was a Terrypoo that we got after we got married and my son was a toddler. He was 14 when we had to make a tough decision. Then we got Sasha a Morkie she was just shy of 16 when we had to make another tough decision. I have also been fostering with Freedom Rescue since March of 2025. As I think about my stage of life, I want to travel in a few years, so I don't want to commit to owning another animal. That being said I still have lots of love and cuddles to spoil your pet with. I also have experience with a cat, my daughter got took in a kitten from outside at the beginning of Covid that lived with us up until May of this year when she moved out on her own. I am currently working 4 days a week at the office; my husband is retired and home all day. Just down the road there is a large park with soccer fields and lots of places to walk in the neighbourhood. We live in an end unit townhouse on a Private, so not a lot of traffic, 3 levels, with a fenced in back yard. I am ok with pets on my furniture if you are. If not, I will follow your rules.
“Ali was absolutely fantastic with my labrador retriever Thor. She took care of him for almost 2 weeks and was very punctual and prompt with updates. She’s super responsive and made us feel very comfortable that Thor was in great hands. My sincere heartfelt thanks to her for being so amazing with Thor. She will be our go to for him, any day.”
“Megan was an amazing sitter for my dog! Right from the beginning she took the responsibility seriously. It didn’t feel like she was dogsitting as a side hustle, it felt like she does it because she loves dogs. Megan was quick to respond to my request and kept the fast communication throughout the entire time. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and from all the photos we received, it looked my dog had a great time with her. Her house is big and open with plenty of space, so I knew my dog would have lots of room to roam. I would highly recommend letting Megan look after your dog, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Cooper the 14 year old bichon-poodle made himself right at home with Madison and her husband. I think he had a great time exploring a few new neighbourhoods and being an office dog for a day. I feel very rest assured that Cooper was in good hands.”
