We recently reached out to Ashley to care for our dog Marley and explained his separation anxiety. She was incredibly kind and accommodating to his needs right from the start. Ashley kept us updated while we were away and sent photos where we could clearly see Marley was happy and having lots of fun. That peace of mind means everything when you are leaving your dog with someone new. We will absolutely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Micheline was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Miso who stayed with her for a week while I was out of town. My dog suffers from separation anxiety and needs accommodations due to her age. Micheline had no issues with putting up a gate I provided so that Miso was safe and not using the stairs during her stay. She provided regular updates, was very responsive, and was such a pleasure to communicate with. She and her partner have a beautiful home with a fully fenced yard, and you can really tell they are both animal lovers. I would love if Miso could stay with them again in the future. Thanks Mich & Mich!

Bruna was terrific from her first encounter with Jasper to daily notes and pictures to the last day when my flight home was delayed. It was obvious that she is a dog lover and her house is totally adapted to dogs. She also has a lovely backyard and very close green space for walks. It was my first time using Rover.com and their communication system is effective, provide for privacy and I can certainly vouch for one of their pet carers. I will have no hesitation asking Bruna again.

About: Passionnée par les animaux depuis toujours, j’ai eu l’occasion de garder régulièrement les chiens de mes proches, ce qui m’a permis de développer une vraie sensibilité à leurs besoins et à leur bien-être. Ce qui me distingue ? Ma disponibilité totale et mon attention constante. Chez moi, votre chien n’est jamais laissé seul dans un coin — il est intégré à mon quotidien, chouchouté et surveillé en permanence. Mon appartement calme est idéal pour les chiens qui ont besoin de sérénité. J’accueille tous les gabarits et tous les tempéraments avec la même bienveillance. Chaque chien est unique, et je prends le temps d’apprendre à le connaître pour lui offrir une garde sur mesure. Les propriétaires peuvent partir l’esprit tranquille — je tiens à donner des nouvelles régulières avec photos et messages. Mon copain et moi sommes tous les deux en télétravail, donc on a une belle flexibilité dans nos journées ! Ça nous permet de vraiment prendre soin du chien qu’on garde — des marches quotidiennes, des moments de jeu et plein d’attention tout au long de la journée. Garder un chien fait partie de notre routine et on adore ça, c’est jamais une contrainte pour nous. Chez nous, c’est un appartement calme et douillet où votre chien est supervisé en tout temps. Comme on est deux à la maison, il y a toujours un œil sur lui ! On s’adapte à ses habitudes — que ce soit pour les sorties, les repas ou les moments de repos. Notre objectif, c’est qu’il se sente comme chez lui dès la première heure.

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 :)

About: Having grown up with an English Springer Spaniel, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. In addition, I have many years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, working with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs — and their owner’s preferences — ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m comfortable with long walks, administering medication, reinforcing training, and providing consistent, reliable care. As a friendly and enthusiastic individual, I’ll always keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your pet and supporting you in any way I can! I’m currently working M-F, with a few days from home, but am available in the evenings and at weekends. I am very flexible in days and times and can be available on short notice. I am an extremely clean and respectful individual and take extra care when pet sitting in someone’s home. Safety and comfort are extremely important to me, I want your pet to feel at home, relaxed and safe in their environment and I am happy providing any services that help them achieve this.

About: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is the level of care, attention, and dedication I bring to every feline I look after. I have hands-on experience with cats that require specialized care, including my mom’s cat, whom I cared for after eye surgery—administering medications, monitoring recovery, and ensuring a calm environment for healing. I’m meticulous when it comes to hygiene and comfort, and I actually enjoy deep-cleaning cat areas, litter boxes, and accessories to keep everything fresh and safe for the cats in my care. Over a six-month period, I successfully took care of a friend’s six cats, balancing different personalities and needs while maintaining a happy and healthy environment. On top of that, I have two hairless cats of my own, which means I’m well-versed in the extra attention and maintenance they require, such as regular bathing, skincare, and temperature regulation. My experience with both everyday care and special needs makes me a reliable, attentive, and exceptionally thorough cat sitter.

About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in 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 took care of my 6 month pup for the day and was very communicative, asking about his routine and what he’s been learning so she could reinforce while he was with her. She thoughtfully put a coat on my doodle when it snowed unexpectedly to protect his fur. He came home tired and slept for the evening. I’d happily book care with Erin 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.

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!

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.

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.

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.

We recently reached out to Ashley to care for our dog Marley and explained his separation anxiety. She was incredibly kind and accommodating to his needs right from the start. Ashley kept us updated while we were away and sent photos where we could clearly see Marley was happy and having lots of fun. That peace of mind means everything when you are leaving your dog with someone new. We will absolutely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Bruna was terrific from her first encounter with Jasper to daily notes and pictures to the last day when my flight home was delayed. It was obvious that she is a dog lover and her house is totally adapted to dogs. She also has a lovely backyard and very close green space for walks. It was my first time using Rover.com and their communication system is effective, provide for privacy and I can certainly vouch for one of their pet carers. I will have no hesitation asking Bruna again.

About: Passionnée par les animaux depuis toujours, j’ai eu l’occasion de garder régulièrement les chiens de mes proches, ce qui m’a permis de développer une vraie sensibilité à leurs besoins et à leur bien-être. Ce qui me distingue ? Ma disponibilité totale et mon attention constante. Chez moi, votre chien n’est jamais laissé seul dans un coin — il est intégré à mon quotidien, chouchouté et surveillé en permanence. Mon appartement calme est idéal pour les chiens qui ont besoin de sérénité. J’accueille tous les gabarits et tous les tempéraments avec la même bienveillance. Chaque chien est unique, et je prends le temps d’apprendre à le connaître pour lui offrir une garde sur mesure. Les propriétaires peuvent partir l’esprit tranquille — je tiens à donner des nouvelles régulières avec photos et messages. Mon copain et moi sommes tous les deux en télétravail, donc on a une belle flexibilité dans nos journées ! Ça nous permet de vraiment prendre soin du chien qu’on garde — des marches quotidiennes, des moments de jeu et plein d’attention tout au long de la journée. Garder un chien fait partie de notre routine et on adore ça, c’est jamais une contrainte pour nous. Chez nous, c’est un appartement calme et douillet où votre chien est supervisé en tout temps. Comme on est deux à la maison, il y a toujours un œil sur lui ! On s’adapte à ses habitudes — que ce soit pour les sorties, les repas ou les moments de repos. Notre objectif, c’est qu’il se sente comme chez lui dès la première heure.

Alfie loves staying with Suzanne and her husband. He is treated like a king with full access to the house and couches. He goes for many walks during the day and is excited to see her when we drop him off. He comes home happy and healthy.

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!

My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !

Julia saved the day! We left our dog with another caretaker who decided a couple days in that it was not a good fit. He messaged me while I was away in Florida, unable to pick up the dog. At 8pm I was able to find Julia, and not only did she agree to take our dog, but her partner went and picked her up for us. I could have cried. Our dog the went on to have an INCREDIBLE week with Julia and her other dogs. She came back better socialized and more confident. I actually felt sad bringing her home because she seemed to have the best week. Julia said a heartfelt goodbye to our girl and it really seemed that she has such a genuine love for dogs. She will be our permanent dog sitter moving forward and we are so grateful for how she swooped in and saved the day and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying.

About: I also speak English Amoureuse des animaux. J’ai eu un merveilleux bullmastiff de chiot à environ 2 ans, lorsqu’il a décidé d’être un peu trop amical avec un porc épicé. Mon style de vie ne me permet pas d’avoir un chien présentement et j’adorerais pouvoir m’occuper des autres. Comme je marche beaucoup, pourquoi ne pas relié le tout en aidant les propriétaires avec leurs animaux! Je marche énormément pour tenir la forme et laisser mon esprit vagabonder. Ajouter un ou plusieurs chiens à cette routine apporterait simplement plus de bonheur à mes habitudes! Je peux sortir de mon quotidien pour m’occuper des vos animaux ou encore les ajouter à mes activités. Il me fera plaisir de leur faire plaisir!
