“Benjamin made us feel at ease leaving our dog behind for a short trip. He sent frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and flexible. Koya came back to us happy and tired from her play time with other dogs.”
“Jessica and Tyler were incredible with Chester. Jessica sent plenty of updates, showing just how spoiled he was. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation. We have one exhausted puppy, which tells me just how happy he was and how much he enjoyed himself.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with people she hadn’t met before so I think we were both a little nervous. Dottie tends to be wary of strangers—especially men—but she warmed up to Selina almost instantly and even befriended Pascal and Jesse without hesitation (which is almost unheard of for her). I received daily updates along with pics and vids that put me totally at ease! This is a family of true dog lovers (with some serious dog-whisperer energy). They exceeded all my expectations and I’m pretty sure Dottie’s already planning her next visit with them.”
“We left our cats and Nutmeg our 8month puppy with Ashley while having renos done. I wasn't worried about the cats but very concerned about the puppy being alone for the first time and not having proper structure and regressing on her training while away for almost three weeks. Ashley continued to work with Nutmeg, even progressing her training! She has a lovely property with lots of outdoor activities including a 5km walk every day. I loved getting regular updates and pictures of Nutmeg enjoying herself. Nutmeg is on a raw diet and had supplements and allergy meds to take which Ashley administered and monitored. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pets with her again and have already booked her for October!”
“We could not be more grateful to have Josee take care of our pup for almost two weeks. She went above and beyond, taking her on all kinds of adventures, and sending the most thoughtful updates. It made for a stress free vacation! Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Première expérience avec Isabelle et cette plate-forme. Un super 24 heures pour notre Sally en sa compagnie. La communication avec Isabelle était facile et agréable. Sally l'a adoptée tout de suite. 🥰 Je recommande Isabelle à 100% 😀”
“Raquel is the best dog sitter in Orleans! Our dog peanut loves her so much and she has been caring for him periodically throughout the last few months. She treats him like one of her own and is willing to take him always! We love Raquel and recommend you trust her with your pets if you want nothing but the best!”
“Angie was amazing! Our dog Luna was right at home and got lots of love and cuddles! Angie provided regular updates and photos which really helped to let us know Luna was doing well! 10 out 10 best experience and couldn’t recommend more!”
“Our dog Toffee had the best time with Soha and her dog Bully. Our dog is a nervous pup, especially in new environments, but Soha made her feel so welcome from the first introduction and is one of the kindest sitters we have had the pleasure of interacting with. We received regular updates throughout Toffee’s stay. We highly recommend Soha and will definitely be a returning customer.”
“My dog Freddy had a great time with Erin and her dogs. The videos and photos Erin sent me made me happy to see him having fun while away from home. I recommend her as a sitter for anyone with a dog that loves other dogs ❤️”
About: Hello! I’m Julie. Passionate about animals, I grew up surrounded by dogs from a very young age. This naturally developed into a deep love for our four-legged friends, which is why offering my time to pamper your companions feels like a natural step. Thanks to our very flexible work schedules, my partner and I are regularly at home: your pets will always be in good hands and will never lack company! I work from home and only go to the office occasionally, while my partner works from home full-time. There is almost always someone on-site, and on the rare occasions there isn't, pets are never left on their own for more than 3 hours a day. For daycare, we will be there with them from the moment they arrive until they leave. Our family—consisting of my partner, my dog, my cat, and myself—is located in a very peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood, and our yard is fully fenced and secure. At our home, your pets will hang out with Zoé, our adorable 3-year-old pug. Very friendly and food-loving, she is always ready to keep her new friends company, along with our very affectionate cat, Minet.
“Mahnaz was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and pictures and gave our kitty a home away from home. Would recommend her to others and would love to send Charlie there again in the future.”
“Melanie was a very affectionate and kindly sitter with my princess; I am very happy with her hospitality; with her patience Popi had a nice New Year. She and her family are very friendly; it gave me great peace of mind to leave Popi with them!!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our 17 year old beagle mix, Karmyn! She had lots of walks and outdoor time, and a lovely weekend play date with her Cockapoo Ross. She was highly communicative, easy going, and sent lots of photo updates! We would definitely hire Rachel again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Stephanie was incredibly understanding of our dog’s nervous nature and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear he was well cared for and truly felt at home. We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will absolutely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“This was Loki’s second stay with Kathrine and her family and it won’t be his last! They’re always the first ones I check when I need someone to take care of Loki. I know he’s well taken care of while under their care.”

“Isabelle s’est occupée de mes deux chats et mes deux poissons lorsque j’étais parti en vacances en Irlande. Ma chatte Lexie est asthmatique et Isabelle lui a donné sa pompe et elle étais confortable avec ça. Même avec le décalage d’horaire Isabelle répondait à mes messages très vite. J’ai aussi apprécié les photos à tout les jours. Merci Isabelle !”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have trained three of my own dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’ve also cared for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who experience anxiety and stress. My own puppy has severe anxiety, so I understand how important it is to give nervous pets extra patience, reassurance, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I love making sure pets get plenty of attention and enrichment, whether that means going for walks, playing, grooming, practicing training, or simply spending time together. I treat every animal as an individual and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I work part-time, usually 5-hour shifts, and I’m completing university online, so I’m home for most of the day. This means pets will only be alone for a limited amount of time and will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home, keeping them in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and any special care they need. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

I have a mixed work schedule of work from home and in-office - let's chat to see how I can best accommodate your own work schedule and needs for pet care.

I've seen and dealt with all sorts.
“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”
“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”
“Mala was really helpful we had a last minute trip and needed a sitter ASAP and she was there when we needed her. She communicated with us throughout the day and when she left. Great sitter!”
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs, and caring for my own 12 year old cocker spaniel has taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and compassion. She has digestive issues, so I prepare her meals myself and closely monitor her health: this experience has made me especially attentive to the unique needs each dog might have. I love taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels happy and safe. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets many times, knowing I treat every animal like my own. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care every time! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I'm a university student who genuinely loves dogs and would be so happy to spend my free time caring for and hanging out with pups. I also love going on walks, so your dog can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise with me:) my apartment is very pet friendly, with a dog wash area and outdoor space for dogs to play. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company, or just lots of love and attention, I'd be happy to make them feel at home❤️ When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and health, always keeping a close eye to ensure they’re happy and well.
“We are more then thankful and grateful for Abigail’s pet sitting services. Our Luna was loved and taken care of by Aby. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the week. The house was immaculate when we returned. She even took out the huge pile of garbage we add accumulated through winter. I recommend her services ? %. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Abigail. Luna misses you ? Martine and Adison”
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'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.

Their safety in the most important thing to me. Building trust and a connection with your pet will be my priority, so that they feel safe while under my care!

“Ginger just came back from her first visit with Jessica and Dozer. Jessica was great at making Ginger feel safe and secure in this new environment and giving her some love and cuddles. Jessica sent me a bunch of pictures which was awesome and reassuring to me. Dozer (her big dog) was also great at giving Ginger the space she needed when we first got there. I will definitely bring Ginger back to Jessica’s!”
“Erin was awesome! She tired our pup out really well and everything went really good! She sent lots of updates and photos and I’m sure our puppy got way more activity then he usually does! Will definetly use again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from puppies to seniors, and understand how their needs change over time.

I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral meds and injections, and I carefully follow all care and health instructions. I also have knowledge of canine CPR and stay calm and focused in emergency situations. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.

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.
“Azoth had a great time with Praveen. He came home and was out like a light for the rest of the evening. Lots of pictures and updates given over the 5 hrs Azoth stayed there. Azoth says “10/10. Would nap there again””
“Micheline took care of Merlin for the first time and i always worry because Merlin has anxiety and he is a Velcro dog. Micheline came to our house to meet Merlin and you can tell right away that she is a dog person. After meeting her, I was very comfortable in leaving Merlin in her care. Both her and her husband are fantastic. Thanks Micheline for taking care of Merlin.”

“Amazing! She took good care of Pyper! Pyper was tired when she got home but not too tired to sniff around the new home we moved into. Thank you so much for taking care or our baby on such short notice!”
About: Being a mom to my border collie/aussie shepherd for almost 5 years showed me how pure a pet’s love is, and it made me want to look for more opportunities to spend time with pets. I currently volunteer at Penny Lane Animal Sanctuary, where I help take care of animals that come from situations of abuse and neglect. It is hard, rewarding work and I get to spend some time with cows, goats, sheep’s (and more!) while I am at it. I love taking care of animals and getting to know their quirks and unique personality. With a pretty high-energy dog that requires long walks, lots of exercise and mental stimulation, I can help you taking care of your pet, if you are struggling to find the time or the energy, or if you are going on vacation. I am available for walks, drop ins, house sitting, boarding or daycare. Send me a note if you’d like to schedule a meet and greet! 🐶 My schedule is pretty flexible. Whether it’s during the weekend, in the afternoon, evening, or a lunch drop in, my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate that. If you have an emergency event and need to leave the house, I can make myself available!
“This was our dogs first stay with Mellissa and we had an amazing experience! Mellissa kept us informed with information, photos and videos throughout the entire day! This helped ease my anxiety greatly. Our dog came back home in the evening in a GREAT mood and exhausted from her exciting day with Mellissa and Jasper. We look forward to booking a stay with Mellissa again!”
“Our pup Nova has seperarion anxiety and it's been difficult for us to leave her anywhere for more than one day. We've tried other pet sitters and kennels and it would always break our hearts to see how stressed she would get. We're so fortunate to have found Debbie and Greg. We had a few trial daycare stays before a longer trip in the Fall and while Nova was initially nervous she was able to settle into their home after the first stay. I can't express enough how relieved we are to have found people that Nova feels comfortable with. We can finally go on vacation without having to stress. Debbie and Greg have a calmness about them that helps Nova deal with her anxiety of being without us. They have a calm home environment and a nice backyard that Nova enjoys during her stays. I would highly recommend especially for pup parents that may have a pup with some separation anxiety. Debbie and Greg are great for Nova and we'll be able to go on vacation knowing she's comfortable and being well cared for.”
“Bruna and Brandon are fantastic. I've been bringing my 9 month old pup to them once a week for a couple of months now and he always has such a great time. He gets excited the second we turn onto their street. He's well cared for, gets to socialize with a bunch of other dogs, and comes home so tired he even leaves the cat alone 😅”

About: Experienced in Veterinary Medicine for 8 years. I've been working with dogs my whole life. Dog walking since 11 years old. Working along professional dog trainers in boarding facilities was a huge plus to help me guild dogs safely around our neighborhoods and parks. I have experience grooming (please contact if you wish to book your dog a groom while they are with me) as well as emergency veterinary care for the past 7 years. My job working in the veterinary hospital is a blessing to be surrounded by animals every second of every day. I am looking to fit some walking into my lunch breaks or night walks in the Ottawa/Gatineau areas. I'm free all day from Friday-Sunday for Pet sitting or dog walks any time of the day. Caring for animals on a daily basis keep me alert and on my toes on what pets are doing all the time. I keep a close eye and make sure they are well and happy.

“Kayla is wonderful with our 7 month Rottweiler. She was proactive about teaching street manners without us asking and our puppy always came home happy and fulfilled. Very good communication and reliable. We can tell she really cares and is educated on dogs.”
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.
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.

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.

“Benjamin made us feel at ease leaving our dog behind for a short trip. He sent frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and flexible. Koya came back to us happy and tired from her play time with other dogs.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with people she hadn’t met before so I think we were both a little nervous. Dottie tends to be wary of strangers—especially men—but she warmed up to Selina almost instantly and even befriended Pascal and Jesse without hesitation (which is almost unheard of for her). I received daily updates along with pics and vids that put me totally at ease! This is a family of true dog lovers (with some serious dog-whisperer energy). They exceeded all my expectations and I’m pretty sure Dottie’s already planning her next visit with them.”
“We left our cats and Nutmeg our 8month puppy with Ashley while having renos done. I wasn't worried about the cats but very concerned about the puppy being alone for the first time and not having proper structure and regressing on her training while away for almost three weeks. Ashley continued to work with Nutmeg, even progressing her training! She has a lovely property with lots of outdoor activities including a 5km walk every day. I loved getting regular updates and pictures of Nutmeg enjoying herself. Nutmeg is on a raw diet and had supplements and allergy meds to take which Ashley administered and monitored. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pets with her again and have already booked her for October!”
“We could not be more grateful to have Josee take care of our pup for almost two weeks. She went above and beyond, taking her on all kinds of adventures, and sending the most thoughtful updates. It made for a stress free vacation! Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Angie was amazing! Our dog Luna was right at home and got lots of love and cuddles! Angie provided regular updates and photos which really helped to let us know Luna was doing well! 10 out 10 best experience and couldn’t recommend more!”
“My dog Freddy had a great time with Erin and her dogs. The videos and photos Erin sent me made me happy to see him having fun while away from home. I recommend her as a sitter for anyone with a dog that loves other dogs ❤️”
“Mahnaz was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and pictures and gave our kitty a home away from home. Would recommend her to others and would love to send Charlie there again in the future.”
“Melanie was a very affectionate and kindly sitter with my princess; I am very happy with her hospitality; with her patience Popi had a nice New Year. She and her family are very friendly; it gave me great peace of mind to leave Popi with them!!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our 17 year old beagle mix, Karmyn! She had lots of walks and outdoor time, and a lovely weekend play date with her Cockapoo Ross. She was highly communicative, easy going, and sent lots of photo updates! We would definitely hire Rachel again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Stephanie was incredibly understanding of our dog’s nervous nature and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear he was well cared for and truly felt at home. We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will absolutely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“This was Loki’s second stay with Kathrine and her family and it won’t be his last! They’re always the first ones I check when I need someone to take care of Loki. I know he’s well taken care of while under their care.”

About: With a lifetime of experience around large dogs, I’m confident caring for breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I prioritize safety, routine, exercise, and personalized attention so you can feel completely at ease while away. Doggy daycare/dog walking fits really naturally into my routine because I already have dedicated days off during the week and love staying active. I work full time, but on my available days I’m home and able to give dogs lots of attention, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Your pet will get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and love. I stick to their routine so they feel comfortable, but I also make sure they’re getting plenty of stimulation and not just sitting around bored. At my place, they’ve got a safe, relaxed space to hang out and settle in like they belong there. In a client’s home, I keep things consistent so they feel secure in their own environment.
About: Raised in a dog loving family. Experience with small and large breeds. I live an active lifestyle and look forward to walks (or runs if your pup is up for it!). Experience with medication administration and caring for a dog with IVDD. I am out of the house for 7-8 hours during the work day. Morning and late afternoon walks can be provided, but your pet will need to be comfortable being alone for that time period. I will treat your pets like my own. They are welcome to be on the furniture, and are guaranteed to have lots of cuddles and love!
“Ella took care of our 6 months old lab puppy and she did amazing. Communication was good and quick. She keeps us updated and sends us photos as well. And our puppy seemed very happy with her. Will repeat”
“Qianzhi was so great! She sent me regular updates and photos. My cat Lulu was not used to strange places and she made her feel so comfortable and at home. Highly recommend and would use again!”
“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! :)”
