House Sitting in Ottawa

“Venissa took great care of our two cats and we would definitely ask her to sit for us again! She was very communicative, paid great attention to detail and took the time to get to know our cats. They behaved with her the same way they do with us, which shows how comfortable they were with her. She put our minds at ease during a long stay abroad. Would highly recommend!”

“Maya was an exceptional caregiver to our two old pets. She also sent us updates while we were away to let us know how things were going. Maya is a very responsible, caring, and kind hearted human! We are very grateful for their services and highly recommend her.”

“Noah was so amazing. We booked him last minute and he was very accommodating. He went above and beyond our expectations and stayed to spend time with our boy for way longer than we thought he would. We booked him for a day visit and were very pleased. He spoiled our pup and sent us many pictures and updates. Thanks for being there today Noah!”

“Paula was fantastic and her calming energy was a great influence on my slightly dramatic furchild! This was my first time using a house sitter and she made me feel comfortable and I actually enjoyed my trip stress free for once. Thank you Paula!”

“Sarah was just great. Our pup is an anxious & fearful dog, who responds well to calm, positive energy & patience. Its difficult for him to get along with humans, but with Sarah's calm and collective nature he became comfortable real quick. We still don't believe that he has a new human friend now and we went on our vacation without being worried for him. He enjoyed his stay with Sarah and Piper, and was sad to see them leave on the last day, that says it all!”

“To say that Mélanie went above and beyond would be an understatement! Within her first few minutes with us we had a power outage and a massive storm. We ended up deciding to relocate to my partners house for the duration of her stay and she was so calm and helpful throughout the whole situation. My baby boy is on a special diet and I had forgot some of his premade meals during the chaos of switching houses but Melanie had no problem helping me out and cooking some of his meals for me. She truly took care of him as if it was her own dog and gave me plenty of updates along the way so I never had to worry. It was the first time I could be away without being worried and it really made a world of difference. My boy Alfred seemed to be pretty smitten too and is definitely looking forward to seeing her again!! 🤗🤗”

“Sara was so easy going and took great care of the boys. She was very responsive and patiently answered all my questions, as this was our first time using Rover. My cats adopted her, and clearly trusted her right off the bat. We came home to perfectly content kitties, and would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks, Sara!”

Christine H.

“Angie was fantastic with Ruby! And I’ll lyk that she can be challenging a lot but Angie took greatest care of my precious dog ! I really appreciate and trust her to take care and sit my dog for more than just a weekend! She will miss you !! 🫶🏻”

“Katherine did an amazing job looking after our fur babies and the house as well! She was polite, friendly, and great with our two chihuahuas. She kept in touch with us daily and sent pictures and videos. Thank you, Katherine!”

“Lorraine is wonderful with my dog. Not only she walked him but also make sure he burnt his energy. She follow our dog food rountine perfect and we came home to a very clean house and a happy dog❤❤”

Chi D.

“Christine was so great! Such great communication and took great care of our house and cat. She sent us daily photos to let us know how they were doing, which was much appreciated. It was obvious when we returned that she had given our (extremely affectionate) kitten much love and attention, as she was happy and super calm despite us being away for 9 days.”

Rebecca M.

“Kat was absolutely fantastic with our dog Jersey! Highly recommend her to anyone, she really has a passion for animals and takes great care for them.”

“Words can’t describe how great Sydney was! It was my first time using Rover due to my friend dog sitter fell through and Sydney just made this whole experience smooth and definitely managed to bring a peace of mind to me since I knew Anouk (my dog) will be taken care of well and with love. Thank you Sydney! ❣️🐾”

Victoria K.

“Alina was incredible! Monty was so well taken care of on the first visit that we asked her to take a last minute booking the next day and she was so kind and eager. Alina would be my first choice in Ottawa for a dog sitter. She was a phenomenal communicator and sent lots of photos of their adventures. She kept Monty busy with lots of walks, and he was so excited to see her the second visit. As a recent rescue with some separation anxiety, we were a bit nervous how Monty would be but under Alina’s care we had no worries in the world! We were so lucky to have Alina!”

Vikki G.

“Amy has walked our dog and also stayed at our place to look after her. She’s very friendly, personable, and reliable, and our dog warmed up to her right away. Its always hard to go away without our dog, but it was much easier knowing that our (sometimes sensitive and quirky) girl was well cared for. We got great regular updates and photos too!”

Jamie C.

“We are very impressed. We booked Eleanor for a week long housesit and Eleanor did an incredible job. We didn’t worry about our cat at all and were able to enjoy our vacation. Eleanor is very friendly, has great communication, followed our instructions, and left the space just as we left it. We will absolutely work with her again. Thanks so much Eleanor!”

Catherine K.

“Christina is awesome! Our pets were well taken care of. Knowing they were being treated with such loving care meant we were able to enjoy our trip and not be worried about everyone at home. Would highly recommend!”

Jen T.

About: Growing up with my German Shepherd/Husky rescue, Lexus, sparked a lifelong love for dogs. As a kid, I dreamed of breeding pups, but learning about overflowing shelters shifted my perspective. Now, I’m all about giving your cutie the care and attention they deserve. Walking, playing, and hanging out with your pup lets me live that dream responsibly—and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I work on weekdays from noon to 8pm on weekdays in downtown ottawa. For years pet care has been part of my morning and bed time routine Whether I’m caring for your pup in your home or mine, I treat them like family! I’m all about keeping your dog happy, safe, and comfortable. I always keep a close eye on their body language.

“Amanda was the perfect sitter for my sweet, anxious Tortie cat. I was worried to leave her with a stranger for the first weekend ever (normally she stays with friends) but fate brought us to the right person :) Amanda was flexible with me and my schedule, attentive and loving with my cat, and super communicative, striking an amazing balance between professional and friendly. I got tons of adorable pictures and even videos, even though I didn't even think of asking for them. It was literally not different from leaving her with a friend after all. So happy with this stay, thank you SO much Amanda, will definitely be trusting you again next time! All the best to you and Darwin ♡”
