“Danielle is great! We were nervous leaving Luki but after meeting Danielle we could tell she was experienced and Luki really liked her right away. Danielle sent us pictures and updates during Luki's stay. We picked up a happy tired dog at the end of her 3 day stay! We have already booked her again 🙂”
“Paige was great host with our dog. She has a big fence backyard to let my dog exercise. She take him on a walk at least twice a day and her place is cage free. She took a lots of pictures during the stay and our dog stay healthy. Our experience with Paige was great.”
“Great first full day and overnight boarding at Bridget's. I love the attention to detail with the individual feeds and the full play space with access for the doggos to go into the heated cabin. My dog had a blast! Also, I'm grateful for how respinsive Brisget was to messaging! Thank you for the great care Bridget!”
“Exceptional! Lynda provided such great care and attention to our 4 yr old Romeo. We were away for an extended vacation, the longest we had been separated from Romeo. Lynda, however, was so thoughtful and caring to send daily updates, photos and videos that we felt completely at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Lynda is very responsive and it’s obvious she genuinely cares for our fur baby. Lynda’s own three pups are simply adorable and welcomed Romeo into the pack and as such Romeo has started to improve his social skills and learning all about dog play. I cannot say enough good things about Lynda and her pups. She is a deeply caring person whose objective is to ensure our pup is given the best possible experience. Thank you Lynda, Hunter, Luna and Millie ♥️”
“Tanya is truly amazing, and I could not recommend her enough!! She is truly an animal lover and it’s clear to see. Her updates and pictures of my sweet girl really put my mind at ease while I was away; I never once worried about her. I will absolutely be boarding with Tanya again if I need a sitter. You would not be disappointed booking with her!”
“Clair, her family, and her dog Miley took wonderful care of my dog Mishka while we were away on vacation. After meeting Clair and Miley in advance, I had zero reservations about leaving Mishka in their care. Clair sent me photos daily and Mishka had so much fun with Miley. I I’ll definitely use Clair again when I need care for my dog.”
“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”
“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!”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Our dig seemed to really love Lindsey’s place. Not sure if our dog really even wanted to come home! Lindsey’s place was clean and organized. She send photos during the weekend and updates! It was great. To be away and know the dog was in a loving and safe place. I would recommend Lindsey and use her next time we go away!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with people she hadn’t met before so I think we were both a little nervous. Dottie tends to be wary of strangers—especially men—but she warmed up to Selina almost instantly and even befriended Pascal and Jesse without hesitation (which is almost unheard of for her). I received daily updates along with pics and vids that put me totally at ease! This is a family of true dog lovers (with some serious dog-whisperer energy). They exceeded all my expectations and I’m pretty sure Dottie’s already planning her next visit with them.”
“While I considerd "not dead or missing" to be successful for an online pet boarding service, our dog settled in quickly and seemed sad to part ways with her new friends at the end of the week. April also helped to manage a bit of an upset stomach and allergies through her visit which inspires confidence.”
“Wow is all I can say!! Jason and his family are incredible people!! I fell sick and ended up hospitalized while Mavis was with Jason. Without hesitation he agreed to keep Mavis and kept her for several extra days. They also took amazing care of our girl. They were an absolute life saver!!”
“Quianzhi was everything I could have asked for in a dog sitter, she is kind, gives plenty of updates, and clearly knows dogs very well. It was mine and my pups first experience with boarding, and I was very worried how he’d adjust, but there was no need. Will absolutely be booking again!”
“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! ❤️”
“Janice and family took such great care of Roo over the week we were in Toronto. We got photos and updates everyday. We definitely could see they made Roo part of the family. We knew it was a great stay when Roo was mopey the evening she got home and was missing them already. We will definitely have Roo visit again!”
“My dog loves weekends at Miaozi's place. Miaozi sends pictures and videos daily, keeps us updated on food, walks, naps etc. , goes for several healthy walks daily despite the cold weather. I trust that my dog is in good hands when I leave her with Miaozi”
“Bear had a wonderful stay with Beverly. Beverly was kind, responsive and the perfect match for Bear. She was extremely helpful and prepared for our dog's stay. Beverly's home is well appointed for dogs, with proper fencing and many walking trails nearby. We will definitely be booking with Beverly again.”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Kelly provided great care to our kitties and went out of her way to keep their litter area squeaky clean. She provided lots of photos during the check ins. Would 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!”
“Dylan was great, he was a last minute booking because our previous sitters bailed with no notice and I’m so glad we got him to take care of our cats while we were away getting married! He showed up when he said, sent tons of pictures, kept in communication, and went on a cat hunt when our one cat decided to hide in the couch. Thank you Dylan! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I love cats, they are so cute and I love how each one has their own unique personality! They will be loved & adored in my care. I’ll make sure to follow all instructions carefully and will work hard to build a relationship with your precious baby, at their pace of course! I love learning as much as I can about them so that I can provide the best possible care and an enjoyable experience for them while you’re away.
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'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.
“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.

I currently walk dogs everyday with a company that I absolutely love!

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 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.
About: Hello nice to meet you! My name is Carissa Fairweather and I am currently offering petsitting (my home or yours) and/or dog walking in Smiths Falls! Im currently the proud pet mom to a 5 year old medium bull mastiff mix and 3 adorable cats. I have also owned guinea pigs, skinny pigs, rabbits, and fish. Ever since I can remember I’ve had a strong passion for animals and will soon be attending school for Veterinary Technician. I have been pet sitting for about 5 years now and have been dog walking well since I could walk.

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!
“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!”
“Bertie had a wonderful time with Paige and enjoyed lots of play. Great pictures and videos kept us informed of his time and he was a super happy pup when we picked him up. We'll be going back for sure :)”
“My dog Tucker now does daycare every week with Danielle and her family. What a wonderful family snd environment. They treat him like he is their own. Thank you so much for your kindness and care.”
“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!”
“Scottie had a great day. Alfie and Mango were waiting for her in the backyard when she arrived. She looks happy in all her pictures and she slept for a few hours when she got home! Thanks Ashley, Scottie will be back.”

“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’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, Bonny 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.
“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!!”
“Leo stayed with Manasa for the very first time.. she was very responsive and provided updates throughout the day. I feel leo had a wonderful day at Manasa’s and was well taken care of. Thank you Manasa.”
“Steven and Gabrielle do an amazing job caring for my dog, Nalu! My dog has anxiety, and they are so patient and understanding, making sure he feels comfortable. Their own dog is also wonderful and really helps Nalu relax and settle in. I always feel completely safe leaving Nalu with them, I know he will have fun and he's in great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy sitters!”
“My pup had a wonderful time playing with his new bestie and learning how to use dog puzzle toys! They both take great care to make sure my pup is happy and well looked after. Also best photos and videos to stay connected with pup during the day! 😊”
About: Hi! I am a home of one with a big love for dogs. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog, and cared for German Shepherds and a Lab for years. I now have a dog free home and miss having dogs running around. I can provide a calm environment for a low energy or senior dog but am also happy to bring your dog on walks or trips to the dog park down the street if they are in need of an adventure. I can accommodate most special requests including pick up and drop offs. I know what it’s like to worry about your pup while you’re away so rest assured that you will be getting lots of updates from me! I work from home with a flexible schedule so your dog will never be left alone for long while staying with me. A typical day will start with a walk before and after work with quicker bathroom breaks throughout the day. This can be adjusted based on your dogs needs. Rest assured that I will care for your dog as if it is my own. They are free to roam my place and sleep on my bed and couch but I can also follow your house rules if they differ. I have an unfenced outdoor space but will provide walks, playtime and special outings based on your preferences. If you have a puppy that required a more watchful eye, that’s not a problem. We can agree on a plan and schedule together!
“Faye was very attentive and sent me many videos to help me feel more comfortable leaving my dog. She clearly loves dogs and she has two lovely dogs of her own. It was an extremely positive first visit and I would rebook with her again. Thank you Faye!”
“Daisy had another fun play day with Keyser. Nicole and Eddie give Daisy lots of attention and love which she thrives on. She came home one happy and tired pup :)”

“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!”
“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!”
“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 ❤️❤️”
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’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.
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 as of January 1, 2027. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I don’t have any 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! 🐶 For now, I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs). 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). As of January 1, 2027, I will be fully retired and available 24/7. 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. I’m pretty good at interpreting the signs for potty time, but I love learning as much as I can from you about what your baby’s habits, needs and preferences are. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and happy, 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!

We have a large home where I provide very safe care for every animal.
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 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: I have a wealth of experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was 11. Families in my community trust me to walk, feed, and love their pets. I usually start my day by walking my dog, I am currently available every day during week and weekend to care for the needs of your pet. It’s crucial to prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment when caring for pets. When I take care of pets, i make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. As well as spend quality time with pets ensuring they feel safe and loved in the environment.
About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.
About: I have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. Im available friday after 12m to Sunday, I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in a large apartment with plenty of open space, around 50 square meters available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.
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’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.

“Great first full day and overnight boarding at Bridget's. I love the attention to detail with the individual feeds and the full play space with access for the doggos to go into the heated cabin. My dog had a blast! Also, I'm grateful for how respinsive Brisget was to messaging! Thank you for the great care Bridget!”
“Clair, her family, and her dog Miley took wonderful care of my dog Mishka while we were away on vacation. After meeting Clair and Miley in advance, I had zero reservations about leaving Mishka in their care. Clair sent me photos daily and Mishka had so much fun with Miley. I I’ll definitely use Clair again when I need care for my dog.”
“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”
“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”
“Our dig seemed to really love Lindsey’s place. Not sure if our dog really even wanted to come home! Lindsey’s place was clean and organized. She send photos during the weekend and updates! It was great. To be away and know the dog was in a loving and safe place. I would recommend Lindsey and use her next time we go away!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with people she hadn’t met before so I think we were both a little nervous. Dottie tends to be wary of strangers—especially men—but she warmed up to Selina almost instantly and even befriended Pascal and Jesse without hesitation (which is almost unheard of for her). I received daily updates along with pics and vids that put me totally at ease! This is a family of true dog lovers (with some serious dog-whisperer energy). They exceeded all my expectations and I’m pretty sure Dottie’s already planning her next visit with them.”
“Quianzhi was everything I could have asked for in a dog sitter, she is kind, gives plenty of updates, and clearly knows dogs very well. It was mine and my pups first experience with boarding, and I was very worried how he’d adjust, but there was no need. Will absolutely be booking again!”
“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! ❤️”
“Janice and family took such great care of Roo over the week we were in Toronto. We got photos and updates everyday. We definitely could see they made Roo part of the family. We knew it was a great stay when Roo was mopey the evening she got home and was missing them already. We will definitely have Roo visit again!”
“Mirian took such good care of Hannah while we were away on a short trip. She provided daily updates which gave us some peace of mind that Hannah was having a good time. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“We had an amazing experience with Kathrine! Communication was easy and seamless from the start, and she was incredibly accommodating with both drop off and pick up times, which made everything stress free. Our dogs had such a great time with her on their two night stay and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Cosmo had a great time on his weekend stay with Nicole and Eddie. Once again they were great. Communication and accommodation was top notch. They clearly kept Cosmo busy with walks and playtime as he slept the whole day once he got home! We highly recommend Nicole and Eddie.”
“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“Emily and her family did an amazing job taking care of Laddie for 2 weeks while we were away. She sent pictures, videos, and updates often. Laddie was so happy meeting her and staying with her. Thank you so much!”
“had a wonderful experience booking Rosie to look after my dog, Echo. This time around Echo was bit anxious, but Rosie was incredibly patient and gentle with him from the start. She took the time to understand his needs, moved at his pace, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable throughout the stay. Rosie kept me updated with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. By the end of the visit, Echo was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend Rosie to anyone looking for a kind, calm, and attentive sitter!”
