We got some wonderful photos of their adventures during the stay. We would definitely leave Avro in Kelly's care again in the future!”

“Bruna took such great care of my dog. He is a nervous poodle but with Bruna he was instantly at ease. Running out to the back yard and playing with her dogs. She is the first dog sitter I have met on Rover who actually talked to and pat my dog to say hello. Bruna is very competent in handling large dogs. My dog had plenty of walks in the forest and got plenty of exercise and play time. He is home now and will likely miss all the action for a while. Thank you Bruna! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.

“Ray was absolutely wonderful with our cats! They are usually very shy around strangers, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot about her gentle and caring nature.

We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! :)”

She ensured to send lots of photos and videos which made me feel like my animals were in great hands without any worry. I will definitely be requesting her again in the future and so should everyone. ☺️”

“Julie was awesome! She was so caring to our anxious cat. She didn’t miss any visits or any of the instructions!

“Shayla was excellent! She was professional and knew exactly what questions to ask. She offered times for a meet and greet right at the start. She was good with our cats and we trusted her during our week away. Our flight home was delayed and she was able to add an extra visit last minute. We did not expect her to respond right away as we had asked her at 11pm but she responded immediately and said she could add a visit. We are so grateful! We got detailed updates from every visit. I highly recommend Shayla for home visits!”


“Gabriela took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away. One of our cats needed oral medication, and another required blood glucose checks and insulin injections. She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, including the blood glucose checks. Our cats clearly loved her, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. We would absolutely book with Gabriela again and highly recommend her!”

About: As an animal lover, I have significant experience with cats and dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I have also gained extensive experience working with pets with special needs/accommodations. I have also fostered both cats and dogs for multiple rescue agencies. I can’t wait to discuss how I can support you and your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and attention available for your pet. When your pet is in my care, they will be the #1 priority. I have a safe apartment and a cute, patient kitty to keep your fur baby company. I am also an avid walker, so I look forward to walking frequently with your dog. As well, I am comfortable with crating your pet, and following any other routines.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”

“Shernaaz and her husband took fantastic care of Pablo, and were so happy to've met him and taken care of him! Communication was a breeze, pick up and drop off were really smooth, and they were very accommodating. I look forward to booking them again in the future.”

“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Maria and her partner gave my dog during his stay with them. They kept me updated with pics/vids and messages, which put my mind at ease. My dog is blind and has separation anxiety and they did their best to make him feel safe. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Shala had a great time with Kathleen! She played with another dog, rolled in the snow, stalked squirrels, ate treats, went for a long walk, and had a nap. What else can a dog wish for?”

“First experience with Jean has been great. She was patient with Suma, who had a bit of anxiety when she arrived for day care, but she helped her settle well. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures I received to help me manage my own anxiety”

“Eddy was a very happy puppy in her care. They bonded and Eddy trusted her right away. She kept me posted with updates the entire day. He definitely had a lot of play time and exercise because he slept the entire evening lol”

“We used Olivia multiple times during our annual vacation in Ottawa and every time she kept us in the loop and our boys were returned happy and relaxed, which is great. Overnight stays were equally relaxed despite us worrying about the boys! She fully informed us of all aspects of their visits even asking if they could have some human food as we are vegans, of course they could and they had a great time. A+”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, both in my family and through regularly caring for and walking them. I also volunteered at several animal shelters over the years, where I helped care for abandoned dogs — walking them, assisting with basic care, and supporting their rehabilitation. This experience taught me how to adapt to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who need extra patience and reassurance. I pay close attention to their behavior to respect their pace, energy level, and individual needs. To me, dogs are family members, and I always strive to provide a safe, stable, and caring environment while carefully following each owner’s instructions. J’ai toujours grandi entourée de chiens, que ce soit dans ma famille ou à travers des gardes et promenades régulières. J’ai également effectué plusieurs années de volontariat en refuge, où je m’occupais de chiens abandonnés : promenades, soins de base et accompagnement vers leur réadaptation. Cette expérience m’a appris à m’adapter à des chiens de tailles et de tempéraments très variés, y compris ceux ayant besoin de patience et de douceur. Je suis attentive à leur comportement afin de respecter leur rythme, leur énergie et leurs besoins spécifiques. Pour moi, un chien est un membre de la famille, et je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sécurisant, stable et bienveillant, en respectant attentivement les consignes des propriétaires. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be home full-time and give plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. Pets are never left alone for long periods and benefit from consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention tailored to their needs. Je travaille à 100 % en télétravail, ce qui me permet d’être présente toute la journée et d’accorder beaucoup d’attention aux animaux dont je m’occupe. Je suis flexible et disponible, que ce soit en semaine ou le week-end. Les animaux ne sont donc jamais laissés seuls pendant de longues périodes et bénéficient d’une présence constante, de promenades régulières et de moments d’attention adaptés à leurs besoins. I live in a quiet and bright one-bedroom apartment with a secure balcony. I do not have any pets or children, which ensures a calm and stress-free environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. I always maintain a clean, organized, and secure living space. J’habite dans un appartement 3½ calme et lumineux, avec un balcon sécurisé. Je n’ai ni animaux ni enfants, ce qui garantit un environnement paisible et sans stress, idéal pour que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité et comme à la maison. Je veille toujours à maintenir un espace propre, organisé et sécuritaire.
“It was a pleasure meeting Alison and her father. They were very welcoming when we dropped off Milo and gave us a great first impression; we had no reservations leaving our beloved dog in their capable hands. When we picked him up he was happy and excited. “Milo” looks forward to seeing Alison again, without hesitation. I would recommend Alison to anyone.”

“Alysson has been a great help looking after the world's greatest doggie, Astro. She has taken him on hour-long adventures and he is super happy to see her at the door. He is also totally exhausted when he arrives home after his adventures. I have already booked Alysson for a second set of walks.”

“Caitlin is incredibly kind and very communicative! Walking my dog, I know my pup is in good hands. She asks questions to understand the routine and is prompt and attentive and caring. You would be lucky to have Caitlin take care of your pup!”

“We’ve been incredibly lucky to have such a kind and reliable dog walker for our two pups, Joey and Poopsie. From the beginning, it was clear how thoughtful and attentive Mikhail is—not just with the dogs, but with communication and scheduling as well. Mikhail takes the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs, and it shows. Joey can be a bit anxious, and Poopsie has her quirks, but he handles them both with such care and patience. The daily updates and photos are always appreciated and it’s clear our dogs genuinely look forward to their walks. It’s such a relief to know they’re in good hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Mikhail to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like their own!”

“Laurie is awesome! She is flexible and easygoing with my inconsistent schedule and last-minute changes. She texts me pics of the pups and updates me about the visits. Thank you, Laurie! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet.”

“Eric was quick to reply. Easy to coordinate meeting. Arrived on time. Was concerned about the salt and inquisitive about coppers demeanor, likes, and dislikes, and Copper was very responsive and seemed to obey immediately. Walk was great all of his business and got exercise and they were back at the right time. I would highly recommend.”

The main playroom has direct access to a fenced yard and an upstairs quiet room provides a calm space for those who want to take a break. It is also a great space for the shyer pups that need to build confidence with calmer pack members before joining the group. The ideal size for our pack is between 30 and 80 lbs. My interest in dogs has let e to obtain a certified obedience instructor certificate and I have completed a dog psychology course with Cesar Milan. While living in Washington DC, I worked for "Puppy Love," providing mid-day walks and still remember how excited a dog was as soon as I came in. We work from home. pick up between 7am and 9pml Please text as you are arriving to promote a quiet environment Dogs love coming back. Fenced yard. Room to run an play. The front porch is gated and we to choose from have 2 sets of doors to the front to minimize the the risk of escapes. Lots of dog toys

Norm wasn't 100% and she can to find him having made a mess in his crate with an upset tummy. :-( She was so good to stay longer and clean out his crate before leaving giving him a clean and comfortable place to stay before I got home.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a home where there was always a pup running around! I’m super comfortable with puppies and love helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for.

I will always be wary of dog's personality and will listen to any request you may have regarding the safety of your dog.

“Duane and Anne sent us photos and updates throughout our boy’s stay, and we feel so grateful to have entrusted them with his care during our wedding - especially since he’d just had his hip surgery and needed to be looked after differently from the other dogs during this booking. Both communicated promptly and attentively, and we’d love for Louie to enjoy another stay with them soon.”

“We have only positive things to say about Shannon and her care for our boston terrier. Communications were always super quick, and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos. After meeting Shannon and her husband, we had full confidence he was going to be in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended!”

“As always Cody had a tremendous stay with Johanne! Johanne is always very accommodating and quick to respond to queries. We appreciate her taking care of Cody. Thanks so much Johanne!”

“Cara a eu un super séjour avec Josée. Elle a eu beaucoup de marches et a aussi jouer à la balle. Josée est une personne très attentionnée avec les animaux et sait s’adapter aux besoins de nos poilus. Ce fut une première visite 5 étoiles.”

“Lydia went above and beyond with communication and care. She asked questions to make sure that my dog was comfortable. I received updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend Lydia.”

“Micheal and family are very welcoming, friendly people who genuinely love dogs and know how to care for them. We had no concerns about leaving our pet with them for her first visit and she clearly settled in well and enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use their service again in the future. We give them a rating of 5 stars without any hesitation. John.”
