Personalized care for your dog or cat - South Stormont

“Connie was amazing! First time using Rover and Connie was consistently updating us and ensured our baby was well taken care of! Daisy came back to us happy and just like herself which says a lot about the way she was cared for! Highly recommend Connie!”

Teresa O.

“Chloe clearly loves animals and Rufus was an immediate fan. She sent pics and was always available when I needed updates. I had to modify my booking several times and she was very accommodating.”

Sherry C.

“Stephanie took wonderful care of my dog, Kobe, while we were away for three days. She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear he was happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were on vacation. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

Marie-Elaine V.

“Bridget & Glenn were very nice to take Blaze on with a last minute booking. They took the time to show me around the farm. My dog and he had lots of fun with the other dogs exploring all the sites and smells on the farm.”

Gordon Wallace H.

“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. 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.”

Offiong J.

“What an amazing experience! Hannah looked after our Irish Setter Maverick as if he was her own. He ate all his food with her which means he was super relaxed in his environment and her communication was fantastic with lots of photos and regular updates. She is five stars all the way! We will definitely be using Hannah again.”

Leanne C.

“Coralie and Kevin took marvellous care of our huskies!! It was such a relief being able to leave town while knowing our dogs were in such a great environment. First of all, their home is lovely and has a perfect yard where dogs can burn their energy. Second, they are so kind, welcoming and have a very gentle dog who got along great with my busy huskies. I was nervous leaving my dogs in a new place; however, they provided updates and kept an open line of communication with very prompt replies; which really brought peace of mind while being away. I would highly recommend booking with them. It was our first time, and certainly not our last! :)”

About: Hi, We’re a fun, active family of three (plus our own beloved cat) who truly love animals. We’re a dream team; we’re reliable, active pet sitters with a 4-year-old child and a hybrid work schedule, giving us plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, in-home care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, play sessions, or just keeping your pets’ company, we treat every animal with the love and attention they deserve. With two beloved dogs of our own in the past — a Black Lab and a German Shepherd — We know firsthand the joy (and responsibility) that comes with caring for furry family members. Though they’ve since passed, we still miss the daily walks, playtime, and cuddles, which is why we love pet sitting. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, we treat every pet like part of our own family. Your furry friends will feel right at home with us—safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! 🐾 Hybrid work schedule which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of any of your needs. Lots of time for walks and for cuddles and down time. Large backyard with lots of space to move around. Very active family for daily physical needs and lots of love for the furry friends for all the cuddle needs.

“First time leaving Ruby alone without a family member watching her and Valerie was amazing with her. Picked her up with no issues must of had a great time as she is fast asleep beside me now 😄”

My dog is only 9 months old and definitely can be a lot. Jamie took care of his needs like a champ! Thanks again!!!”

“Tania did a great job looking after our two dogs. She was reliable, professional, and flexible—especially when we had a last-minute emergency and needed to extend their stay by an extra night. We really appreciated her willingness to accommodate us on short notice. The dogs were well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

About: Animal lover whose grown up with different animals at home. Fish, canaries, parakeets, dogs, and occasionally we had cats. We don't currently have pets at home but regularly pet sit for our family members. I'm a stay at home mom and would like to have more opportunities to help out neighbours and their pets while bringing a bit of income. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I want to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my company when doing drop in visits or walking.

About: I've lived alongside many cats in my lifetime - I've always felt as though every cat in the world is my friend, and yours is no different! I am gentle, patient and receptive to cats and their needs. I understand that some cats are a little more cuddly, and others are fans of their own personal space - I love them all just the same. I've cared for kittens, senior cats and everything in between - I definitely don't discriminate. I'm a genuine cat lover - I offer discounted ratings for longer bookings and discounts for repeat clients. 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 cat owners, and discounted rates for low-income or disabled cat owners. Message me today<3.

About: I’ve got a big yard and an even bigger heart! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or nap time, your pet will feel right at home here. I may be new to Rover, but I will care deeply for your animals and treat every pet like family. My work is very flexible from home, so I am available for both day and overnight bookings! When they are with me they can have my full attention! I live in a quiet area with a spacious yard, perfect for supervised play. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. I only take a few pets at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and consistency—just like family

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me babysit their pets while they are away, and call on me in emergency situations for advice with behavioural or health related issues. My love for animals knows no bounds - I currently volunteer with Marshall's Dog Rescue as well as Freedom Dog Rescue and only babysit when I do not have a foster in home. I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks as well as older, senior dogs. I work in a seasonal industry and as such, am laid off for the winter months. I am home all day and able to walk and play with your pup until we are both exhausted! I live in a quiet village with lots of back roads, perfect for quiet walks. I have a pack of aussie mixes - two rescues - so there will also be friends to play with and your pup will never be lonely. Is there something you've been trying to work on with your dog? A trick? Crate training? Let me know and I'll be happy to help while they're with me!

“Selina was the absolute best !! Our dog had never been dog sat anywhere but our home and Selina was understanding, supportive and was awesome !!”

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of many different dogs over my lifetime, including within my family and branching out to friends families as well. I have been seen as a go to for pet check ins, sittings, and walks. Recently, I have decided to branch out and make more four-legged friends! I work from home 3/5 days per week in Kenmore/Metcalfe/Russell/Greely area, and would be happy to take my lunch breaks to go on walks with your fur babies, or to do some check-ins! I am also open most weekends. Ensuring your fur baby feels safe, secure, and comfortable is my top priority! Sometimes new faces can be scary, but I ensure I approach new fur babies with love and care. Safety is also something that I consider to be top priority, which includes the safety of your pet and your home. Providing an animal with a fun nurturing environment is something that I take pride in!

About: I have learnt how to take care of cats and dogs since I was 5 years old and passion came naturally.Took my dogs to training schools and all of us just enjoyed it. Understanding and reading dogs are essential which make a happy and healthy life for them. I am home full time and have lots of time to look after your beloved dog.I put them first so my routine is organized by our daycare pups. We have fully fenced, well maintaned big yard which separeted in 3 sections.Carefully matching dogs by their behaviour and temperament to provide safe and fun playtimes during our care.

About: With 14 years of experience and a true love for dog's, I provide attentive, personalized care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From puppies to seniors, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in a home away from home. I specialize in puppy care, senior dog support, and gentle handling for nervous pups. I also accommodate non-crate-trained dogs and offer professional grooming services, so pups can go home feeling fresh and happy! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. I ensure each pup gets the individual care and attention they need! I create a calm, structured, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can socialize, play, and relax. I provide frequent supervised outdoor time and regular walks since my yard is currently partially fenced. Dogs are welcome to roam the house freely sit on furniture, and I ensure a safe and loving home for all pets.

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!

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 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. 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 an apartment with balcony, 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.

Cheryl M.

“Pamela did a wonderful job caring for Ella for an extended stay with surprise medical care for Ella thrown into the mix last minute! I really felt like she cared for Ella as if she was her own pet. I got updates and pictures, and she handled the medical hiccup like a pro. So grateful that Ella was in such good hands.”

Lorraine M.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. My mom also bred a few litters when I was in my 20s, so I’ve spent lots of time around puppies as well. I currently have a dog of my own and am comfortable following whatever routine and care instructions you have in place. I’m home throughout the day and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends. I can usually work around different schedules and routines depending on what you need. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to get outside and play. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you already have in place, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care and any specific instructions. I understand that every pet is different and will follow what works best for yours.
