Dog Walking Ottawa

“We want to thank Caitlin for the wonderful care she gave our 7 month old puppy during our 5 day stay in Ottawa. She did a fantastic job and we were totally comfortable leaving our "kid" with her. Highly recommended.”

About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une grande place dans ma vie, et prendre soin d’eux est quelque chose que j’aime vraiment. Je suis promeneuse de chiens et gardienne d’animaux avec de l’expérience auprès de chiens de différentes tailles, de différents âges et avec toutes sortes de personnalités. Que votre chien adore les longues promenades énergiques ou préfère une petite balade tranquille remplie de reniflements, je vais m’assurer qu’il reçoit toute l’attention et les soins dont il a besoin. Je suis une personne patiente, fiable et attentionnée. Je crois que chaque animal doit se sentir en sécurité, confortable et aimé lorsque sa famille est absente. Je sais à quel point il est important de faire confiance à la personne qui s’occupe de votre compagnon, alors je traite toujours chaque animal comme s’il était le mien. Je partage également ma maison avec mon jeune Schnauzer géant, Mushu, qui m’a beaucoup appris sur l’éducation des chiots, l’enrichissement et le renforcement positif. Prendre soin de lui m’a aussi permis de mieux comprendre que chaque chien a sa propre personnalité, ses besoins et son rythme. Lors de chaque visite, je suis heureuse de vous envoyer des photos et un compte rendu afin que vous sachiez comment va votre animal. Mon objectif est que vous puissiez partir l’esprit tranquille, en sachant que votre compagnon est entre bonnes mains et qu’il passe un bon moment. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre famille et vos adorables compagnons! 🐶🐱💕 Je suis disponible du lundi au vendredi, de 9 h à 15 h, pour offrir des services de garde et de promenade à vos compagnons. 🐾 Cet horaire me permet de consacrer pleinement mon temps aux animaux dont je m’occupe, que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite à domicile ou des soins auprès de votre chat. Je suis ponctuelle, organisée et je m’assure de respecter la routine et les besoins de chaque animal. 🐶🐱💕 Je n’offre pas de garde à mon domicile pour le moment, mais je peux me déplacer chez les propriétaires pour m’occuper de leurs animaux. Pour les chiens, je peux faire des visites pendant la journée afin de leur offrir une pause pipi, une petite promenade et de l’attention. Je m’adapte au rythme et aux besoins de chaque chien. Pour les chats, je peux également faire des visites à domicile pour m’occuper de leur nourriture et de leur eau, nettoyer la litière, leur offrir de l’attention et m’assurer qu’ils vont bien pendant l’absence de leur famille. Mon objectif est que chaque animal se sente en sécurité, confortable et bien accompagné jusqu’au retour de ses propriétaires. 🐾💕

“I hired Insiya to walk my dog for two weeks. Since our first meeting I was so impressed by her professionalism and kindness. My dog was super happy to see her. 100% recommended. Fanny D.”

Adventure for them. Convenience for you. 🐾 If interested lets do a meet-greet and discuss all the different options I provide . Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, attention, and enrichment. I monitor and give attention to your pet. I can crate upon request by the pet parent and if the dog is comfortable with it. I have an 8-year-old Golden to keep company with your pet.

About: I have previous experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve worked on farms milking cows, helped train puppies, been a cat mom, and will love your pets the same way you do. I’m currently a student in university which allows for lots of flexibility to include pet care within my schedule. I am an active individual who takes lots of daily walks! Morning, afternoon, and evening walks are typical within my day, so I’d be happy to have a dog come along with me for some extra company and fun. I am diligent in following all rules and guidelines provided by the owners, as I know how important routine is to pets.I prioritize maintaining their usual schedule and environment so that it is as if their owners never left. My top priority is to provide reliable care that keeps your pets happy and stress-free.

About: I’ve always grown up around pets, with my family having two toy poodles (as well as a couple fish) as part of our home. My extended family and close friends have always had dogs too, including Labrador retrievers, wiener dogs and terriers, amongst other pets like cats, birds and rodents! I work full-time from home, and the thought of having a furry, loving friend to cozy up to all day makes me excited! Despite spending time working out, taking in a movie at the theatre or enjoying time with friends, I’m more of a home body who loves being in my own space. I’m all about safety and ensuring my pets are watched over at all times. My place has several doors before you can exit outside, and I would never take my pet off-leash unless it was in a gated, secure area.

“Fara is reliable, thoughtful and very communicative. Very much appreciate her taking care of Poppy”

“Amanda was an awesome walker when we needed a last minute one for our Mini Schnauzer, Frances. She was flexible, asked a bunch of questions, was very attentive to Frances upon their first meeting, and very clearly loves animals. She sent me multiple photos during their walk together and made us feel super at ease. This was our first time using Rover and Amanda definitely set the bar super high. Thanks Amanda!”

“Juho and Olena were excellent! Very communicative and Hatchi enjoyed himself so much!”

About: One of my favourite times in life has been living with 7 dogs and as you can imagine this experience has given me some expertise with dogs. I have lived with newborns, puppies, adults and senior dogs and have also dog-sat & walked dogs of every ages and sizes. I am currently working part-time so I have time to spend hanging out with your pet/s. I am also excited to spend lots of time walking and being outside in general. I am flexible and will adapt to any structure you have set for your dog/s. Unfortunately I don't have much space so I am unable to take in pets in my home but I am happy to adjust to your convenience.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle, thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. For dogs, I offer taking your furry friend on long walks, making them feel at ease with my calm presence and of course cuddles and treats! For cats I offer doing home visits, during these I will feed, clean the litter box, clean up if there are any accidents as well as deep-cleaning litter boxes and help maintain a tidy environment, which is especially helpful for multi-cat households or those with limited mobility. I will of course give your kitties cuddles and play time! I can host cats as well as small dogs in my condo as long as they are okay with my playful 3-year-old cat named Mango and are potty trained. I am also comfortable giving puffers to cats as my cat has asthma and I give him a puffer daily. I am comfortable with all kinds of temperaments as I’ve done numerous home visits, I am always patient and gentle with the cats and dogs and whether they love company or prefers their space, I take the time to understand what they need to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you for your consideration 😊 I have a full time job but I work from home twice a week so I am able to care for pet’s after work or during my lunch break when I am home! I have a condo that is perfect for small animals. I already have a cat named Mango who is a very social boy and so I would be able to board cats that are socialized with other cats as well as small dogs.

About: I have over ten years of pet care experience, including caring for my family's small dogs, friends' medium dogs, and friends' cats. I have experience with both shy and anxious pets, as well as senior dogs. I strive to always provide a loving and safe environment, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to keep your pet's schedule consistent. I value clear communication and will send regular photo updates while you are away! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to work from home or to come home at any time to let out pets, or to check on yours in your home. You’ll receive consistent updates, clear communication, and a sitter who follows your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I live in an apartment that would be best suited to cats and small dogs. It is a small building with an unfenced backyard area, so would be best for animals that just need walks or cats that stay inside.

“We met Holly for the first time this week. She’s very friendly and clearly comfortable handling dogs. Everyone got along great! We’ll be happy to book Holly again.”

About: Hey, my name is Jade and thank you for considering me as a sitter for your pet. I know that it is super important to find the right sitter for your pet. I'm a mom to two adopted cats, four year old Lilith and 18 year old senior Ginger. I also grew up with two mini Aussies that I regularly watch for my parents. I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including senior pets. Please let me know of any special needs your pet has and I am more than happy to accomodate. I make sure to send regular updates and photos of your pet(s) during visits, even on drop-ins and walks. I am a caring person who genuinely loves spending time with animals, and I would love opportunity to care for your pets whether its a short visit or a good walk. I am currently working full-time at a restaurant at night, typically between 4:00pm-12:00am. I am available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-3:00pm, as well as walks. For dog walks I am available to walk them in your neighbourhood for 30 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the weather and your dogs needs. I am a very attentive sitter to pets' needs, health, and environment, and I will bring any questions or concerns to your attention whether it is to do with your home or your pet.

About: I LOVE animals, and while I don’t have the capacity for my own pets right now, I get so much joy from caring for yours. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and now I’m excited to extend that care more widely through Rover. I provide a calm, safe home environment with plenty of attention, cuddles, and enrichment. While I don’t have a yard, I make up for it with access to the canal and several nearby parks — perfect for walks and playtime. You can also expect plenty of photo updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. 🐶🐱📸 I adapt to each pet’s needs: whether your dog is older and prefers a quiet, cozy day with lots of pets, or high-energy and needs over an hour of walking and activity, I provide individualized care and companionship. The only other person your pet may encounter here is my boyfriend, who often stays over. He also loves animals (he grew up with a husky) and enjoys being part of the care and attention your pet receives. I do have a few regular commitments (the gym, swim class, errands, and three days in the office), so pets in my care should be comfortable with a few hours of alone time. Otherwise, they’ll have my full focus and affection. If you have any questions before booking, please reach out; I want to know what you and your pet need to feel completely comfortable entrusting me with their care. I work full time (8-5ish) but flexibily from home and the office. Early morning or late at night is best for me during the week for drop-in’s and walks and I am available on weekends for boardings and sittings! I provide pets with attentive, individualized care - giving them exactly what they need, whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or space to relax. My home is a warm, calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable, with treats and enrichment always on hand. I’m also close to plenty of outdoor spaces, including dog parks, so pets in my care enjoy both exercise and relaxation. My rates reflect the personalized, one-on-one attention each pet receives during their stay.

“This is my first time using this app and it was a great experience! Maybelle was very responsive and took our pup for a 60 minute walk and sent some pictures ❤️ 💯 would recommend and will rebook in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Sophie, a 24 year-old animal lover! I moved to Ottawa a couple years ago and wish I could own my own pet but would love to put my love for animals to use! I have experience caring for animals since I was a child and have owned 2 Labrador retrievers and 1 hamster. My 12 year old lab Walter was my best friend. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. I have experience walking small and large dogs and have no problem with either! I like to go for walks, as I continue to explore the city, and would love to have some company. I'm here to help with any kind of pet care needed and am open to one-time or daily care and/or walks. My schedule is open all day weekdays and after 2pm Saturdays and Sundays. If we are discussing boarding the schedule will be discussed further with you to cater to your, and your pets, needs! Excited to meet your furry friends! I am offering dog walking and pet care and/or boarding! I love to explore Ottawa as I am not originally from here and would love to have some company on my walks! I am available for walks everyday of the week from 7 am to 8 pm (last walk finishing at 9 pm), and anytime after 2 pm on weekends. I can handle small or large dogs on walks, I am open for any breed, any size! I am also offering day and overnight care for dogs and cats, as well as small animals like bunnies, whether at your home or mine. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and caring for your pet when you are away!
If we are discussing boarding we will discuss the schedule together! Anything you show me or tell me about your pet is important. I will always make sure that they feel comfortable and safe with me before anything happens. Any routine or rules that you have for your pet will be followed no exceptions! I will always have bags, water, and treats, if needed, on hand on walks and dog bowls and toys available in my home. Food and medication, pet bed/cage and favourite toy(s) will be supplied by you to make the space more comfortable and safe for your pet while you are not around.
