We were sent many pictures during his stay. He was content and happy and so well cared for. We are extremely happy with this experience. Above and beyond our expectations!”
“I've now lost count of the amount of times Oliver has stayed with Lynda (and have already booked the next 'holiday' for Oliver!). Words can't describe how I have zero reservations leaving Oliver with Lynda, her family, and the pack! Oliver seems to know he belongs and is safe. That's the most important thing for me. Thank you so much Lynda and we'll see you in a couple of weeks.”

“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”
“Vivian was great giving updates of my dog and her parents taking good care of her. She has a lovely clean house and fully fenced backyard that my dog enjoyed. Thanks”
“What an amazing first experience with Rover, and especially with Jennifer and her family. Jasper has separation anxiety, and is just a young puppy, yet Jennifer went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, welcomed and at home. We were only gone for one night, but received several updates and the sweetest of photos. Jennifer, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of our “baby”, and easing our minds! We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you! Jasper and family!”

“Meaghan was wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs, Rex and Biscuit during her drop in visit, and kept me updated with kind messages and photos throughout. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. She was professional, reliable, and very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”
“I ran into a problem and need to book Victoria last minute as we were stuck. We had picked up two kittens 4 weeks prior to us going on vacation and thought we had a plan, but the plan didn’t work out, so we started looking for someone to come in 3 times a day and my niece recommended Rover as she uses it all the time. So I had a look and I picked Victoria as I knew her from when she worked at our doggie daycare. Let’s just say Victoria did everything as requested and sent short videos and pictures every day. It was such a relief to know that our kittens were well taken care of while we were away. We will be using Victoria again next time. Thanks for stepping in and making us feel confident about going on our vacation. Victoria you rock!!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Abbey and James! They were punctual, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and well cared for. They even brought toys and enrichment toys to keep them entertained and engaged. Communication was excellent throughout, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We also came home to a clean and tidy house, with fresh, clean water and food bowls and the litter area swept up. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our pets and took pride in making sure everything was taken care of. We would absolutely recommend them and would happily have them care for our pets again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Amanda — a lifelong animal lover and physiotherapist who also completed the Canine Rehabilitation program. I grew up at the stable, surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I got my first dog for my ninth birthday and have since cared for pets from puppies to senior dogs well into their golden years. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs, including one rescue pup I personally rehabilitated through patience, structure, and love. As a physiotherapist and certified canine rehab specialist, I have a strong understanding of mobility, comfort, and safe handling—especially for dogs recovering from injury, dealing with arthritis, or needing a bit of extra care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a gentle senior, or a pet who needs a little confidence and TLC, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide warm, knowledgeable, and reliable care so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day — just like they would with family. When caring for others’ pets, I always take the time to listen to their owners and follow each animal’s usual routine. I believe consistency and respect are key to helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for — just like they would at home.
About: I’ve cared for my own cats as well as cats belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure every cat gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your cat enjoys playing with toys, lounging in a sunny spot, or prefers quiet company and affection on their own terms, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual personality and needs. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands.

We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Abigail. Luna misses you ? Martine and Adison”

“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 have experience fostering cats and adopted dogs who struggle with socialization. I am a passionate pet lover, and I am happy to take the time your pet needs to be comfortable. I work a remote job and have lots of time during the day for pet breaks. Besides the occasional errand, I am happy to devote time to furbabies.

About: I've had dogs for the last 20 years, usually with four in the house at a time. We've had a Shih-tzu, three Jack-Shih-tzus, a Great Pyrenees, and now a solo Maltie-Poo named Dozer. Every dog I meet is a new friend, and I have to admit that I knew the names of all the dogs in my last neighborhood, and like maybe three of the owners names. Happy to walk active dogs that need long walks. For doggy day care and boarding we have to restrict it to small dogs because our own small dog is picky about which larger dogs he likes. Other animals: I've also taken care of farm animals. Dairy cows and calves, and feeding chickens and putting them in for the night. I've kept both freshwater and marine tanks and can check up on your fish or your reef while you're away. No worrying about your niece or nephew dumping a whole container of bug bites into the tank while you're gone and causing an ammonia spike. I've also kept constrictors and colubrids (but not currently), crested geckos, and dart frogs, and am familiar with the husbandry of each. I have a flexible schedule and am in between writing contracts at the moment so have lots of time available for scheduling check-ins and walks for local puppers. I can check-on and feed pets as needed, dispense necessary meds, walk them from your home, or load them in the car and take them to the Cataraqui Trail for longer walks / more active dogs.
“Took really good care of my dog. Very attentive to what she needed and informed me of worried she had. My dog does not drink much but the vet said it is fine but it is not normal for dog and saw that.”
“Guinness enjoyed her day with Jason and Bella. She always has such a wonderful time and is so well looked after when she’s there. She comes home tired from a full day of playing and fun”

About: Your pets deserve a place where they can feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I provide. As a lifelong dog lover, devoted dog mama, and cat enthusiast, I offer a warm, welcoming, smoke-freehome where every furry guest is treated like family. Our home features cozy indoor spaces and a spacious yard perfect for playtime, sunbathing, or quiet exploration. Because I work remotely, I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys cuddling, playing, or simply having a calm presence nearby, they’ll always feel supported and never alone. I also offer dog walking services, daytime care, and even 24-hour care when needed, giving you complete peace of mind no matter your schedule. I’m passionate about nature and love walking forest paths and scenic trails, offering dogs enriching outdoor adventures tailored to their personality and pace. From energetic hikes to slow, sniff-filled strolls, every outing is meant to make them happy, fulfilled, and connected to the outdoors. Your pet will also enjoy the gentle friendship of my sweet dog, Bella, who loves having company. And they’ll be welcomed with open arms by my two kids, both over the age of 10, who are devoted animal lovers. My son dreams of becoming a veterinarian, following in the footsteps of his grandfather—my dad—who was a vet. With a nurturing family environment, plenty of space, constant companionship, and a deep love for animals, your pet will feel comfortable, cherished, and truly at home. 🐾 I currently work remotely running a coaching business as well as teaching fitness classes digitally. I have time to dedicate to spending good quality time with animals! Our home is on 8 acres surrounded by forest - we spend a lot of time trail walking - I like to do a minimum of 5km when I go for a walk, but I cater to the dogs needs first and foremost! In winter I love to cut trails while snowshoeing- my girl Bella loves to come with me and explore!
“We could not be happier with the care that Jacqueline has provided for Duff! She knows her stuff and Duff can be nervous and reactive at times. He had a blast at "camp" and we look forward to taking him again tomorrow.”
About: *PLEASE NOTE THAT MY AVAILABILITY & CLIENT LIST IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2023. For additional updates. Hello! My name is Allie. I've owned four rescued huskies. I currently have two young rescued huskies and two cats! 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.

We usually have an extra friend as we foster dogs through a rescue group, Rat terrier rescue of Canada. We love walking into a full house :) we have a big yard that is fully fenced, As well as trails and acreage to walk through. We offer a very relaxed, laid back setting for your pup. There will be times of play but all my dogs are respectful of space and will never push a friend to play with them. They have free range of the house and we share all the furniture, bed included 😉😊. When you go on vacation, we do our best to make your fur baby feel like they are on vacation as well. We also send you picture updates to reassure you that your family member is safe and having a great time meeting new friends :) Between my work schedule ( part time) and my husbands work schedule( full time) , someone is always home with your family member to ensure a happy, cozy, experience for them.

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.

“Nicole and Eddie provide excellent care for our dog Daisy. We are always confident that Daisy will have a great time with them and their dog Keyser. She comes home one happy and tired pup from all the playtime, activities & walks. Eddie & Nicole are also very flexible if we have to modify the booking due to unforeseen circumstances.”
“Kimberley watched my little Frances for the weekend and took such great care of her! She was considerate, provided lots of updates and I felt very much at ease that Fran was in good hands. I would recommend Kimberley as a sitter!!”
“Prince was so well taken care of, and we are so grateful. The minute we walked into the house and he met the other dogs, he was completely calm, peaceful, and happy. We were sent many pictures during his stay. He was content and happy and so well cared for. We are extremely happy with this experience. Above and beyond our expectations!”
“Just wanted to share a quick update — Henry came home absolutely tired out and so happy after his stay at Jason and Jocelyn’s. He clearly had the best time. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. It really shows, and we appreciate it so much.”
“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”
About: We're in the process of opening a kennel on our 27 acre homestead, until then, we're here on Rover! Let us give your pets an enriching experience while you're away, and you peace of mind that they are in not one but two sets of good hands. Our dog Styx loves all pets, big and small, but we also have experience and infrastructure for some personal space if your pet takes a little longer to warm up or has special needs. We are currently building a kennel on our wooded retreat, and in the meantime, our home is open! We are home full-time and spend our days outside tending to the property, bringing your pets along, with lots of water and indoor breaks. We have a fenced yard and the house is able to be segmented off depending on the needs (puppy pen, cat area with dogs, cat area dog free, day crated, whatever your comfort is.
“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.”

“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!”
“Chockie, our nine year old labradoodle, has been moping around today, after her five day stay with Meaghan and Jon. I think that she had a lot more attention and playtime than she is used to here with us. We don’t go away very often, and would certainly feel at ease leaving Chockie with Meaghan and Jon again.”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“Veronica was a fantastic host for Fiesta. He was exhausted after I picked him up as he spent 4 straight days playing and having the best time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Veronica again and look forward to dropping Fiesta off again in the future!”
“I recently left my dog, Aadhi, with Rodrigo family for three days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care the family provided. They made sure Aadhi was well-fed, received his medications on time, and got plenty of playtime and walks. They provided updates multiple times a day. They shared photos and videos. When I brought Aadhi back to Rodrigo’s home the next day, he was so excited that he ran straight inside—proof of how comfortable and happy he felt there. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I will definitely be trusting Rodrigo with Aadhi again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Mia made our family feel so comfortable when we left Eddy at her house. Her dog Bella is very sweet. We got lots of pictures of Eddy and Bella on their snowy walks side by side on the trails. Her kids were also excited to have an extra dog to love. Thank you Mia and family! We will use your service again!!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my pup, Nessa. Lots of space for adventures, puppy friends to play with, lots of updates and pics. She really cares about the dogs, and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 2 thumbs up, 5 stars, and 10 out of 10”
“Melissa was an absolute pleasure to meet and she is fantastic with dogs. My dogs fell in love with her immediately and listened to her very well, which speaks to her ability to connect and lead dogs. Highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter.”
“Yogi had the best time! Laura took such good care of him! Small dogs can be a little quirky and Yogi is no exception but she managed to figure him out & make it work for both of them.”
“I wanted to send a quick message to let you know how pleased we were with Kaori F. this past weekend. She really showed great concern and care for our dog and was very descriptive in her messages to us while we were away on holiday. We would really like to keep using her from here on out as the pet sitter for our dog. Our dog really liked Kaori and her family and she just took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I knew from the “get go” upon meeting Kaori, our dog was in excellent hands. I am truly a satisfied and happy client! ~ Natallia, Stittsville, ON Kaori, we want to thank you with all our heart for taking outstanding care of our little puppy.”
“It’s quite difficult for me and I believe many others, to leave a much loved dog in the care of anyone I do not know very well. Michaela’s calm approach seemed to immediately let my puppy relax and happily go with her. Seeing my Cali relax was definitely reassuring. Michaela also sent me a photo of Cali probably 30 minutes after I left, further convincing me that I had made a good decision in my choice of sitter! All around a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Michaela again, to take care of Cali.”
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.
