“Josée was an amazing dog sitter. Our dog Juny instantly fell in love with her. She took care of her needs, above and beyond. The guilt instantly disappeared, she was in dog paradise while we were on vacation. Thanks again! ❤️💜🩵”
“Eliana is the best!!! She was patient and communicative, experienced and attentive, and took great care of my little guy while I was gone, my dog loved her and so did we. If you are traveling soon and don't know what to do with your dog, trust me, Eliana would be the best choice!”
“Jesseca and Alex did a great job looking after our 14 year old Golden Retriever over Easter weekend. He seemed happy and did not want to leave when we went to pick him up. Thank you!”
“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”
“Melody and the family were amazing with my pup. They were very accommodating and the booking process was very easy. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress-free with my pup in their care as I was getting constant updates and pictures of him having a blast with the family. I recommend their services and will for sure book with them again!”
“Ella took a really good care of my dog Kaiser while I was away for two weeks. She sent me updates daily so I knew my dog is in a good hand, my dog had a wonderful time with Ella.”
“Coco loved her stay. Lots of walks, playtime, patience and love. We loved all the frequent updates and pictures. We were very please and happy that Coco was in such a great caring environment. We will defiantly rebook 👍🙏👌”
“Bella was relaxed and well exercise when I picked her up Cristina was wonderfully flexible about my pick up times and accommodated my needs that changed. This was my first experience with Rover and I’m very happy with it.”
“Thanks to Justyne for doing a great job with my fur baby Richmond. She was patient, kind offering lots of play and training. My boy is shy with potty and generally won’t eat with new people but, he did awesome with Justyne. I love all the photos and updates. We will absolutely book again and recommend her.”
“Amazing dog sitter! Went above and beyond with our home-sick dog and provided timely updates with pics and videos. We really appreciate the service and would highly recommend Sanjana to others.”
“Five paws rating!!!! We felt very comfortable with Ruby and Gordon taking care of Puppy. They sent us pictures and videos. We will book with them again when necessary. Thank you!!!”
“Qianzhi was great with Eevee! She kept Eevee happy by playing with her and taking her on many walks which included trails. Our favourite thing she did was the constant flow of pictures she sent us, so we always knew what she was doing. Qianzhi was very communicative and was to quick to reply to any and all messages. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Frederic is the dog-whisperer of the region! He’s amazing with dogs; Can I give 6 stars? Rocky has stayed with Frederic a couple times and each boarding experience has been nothing short of exceptional! The last time Rocky boarded with Frederic was when we were in a tight spot abroad and our original pet sitter fell through. Frederic came to the rescue without hesitation - he took in our beloved Rocky at a moment's notice and went above and beyond to ensure his safety and happiness. Rocky adores Frederic, and it's evident that Frederic has a special connection with dogs. Thank you, Frederic, for being our go-to guardian angel for Rocky!”
“I had a great experience with Grace. She was incredibly flexible and easy to coordinate with, which made everything much less stressful. Her communication was proactive and thoughtful, and she kept me updated so I always knew how things were going. She was kind and attentive, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I’m truly grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Rosie was fantastic with Butterscotch! We loved all the updates, and we could see that she was having a great time. Rosie made sure she had tons of exercise and enrichment, snuggles, and treats! We will gladly have Rosie care for Butter again!!”
“Mahnaz was wonderful with our temperamental little Mocha while he stayed with her last week, and had patience with him while he settled in. She sent many pictures and videos while we were away, so we could see that he was well cared for. We’ve already booked a second stay.”
“Christopher took care of my senior dog super well. He sent me multiple updates and photos each day. He made sure my dog get his daily walks multiple times. I will definitely bring Momo back and highly recommend!”

About: Les chats font partie de mon parcours de vie depuis l’enfance. J’apprécie particulièrement leur indépendance, leur sensibilité et leurs personnalités uniques. Je respecte leur rythme et leurs limites : présence tranquille, jeux, gratouilles à leur demande, repas, litière propre et médicaments oraux au besoin. Avec moi, votre chat peut simplement être… un chat. 🐾
“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: 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.

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”
“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!”

Your cat’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Olivia care for my cat Nala, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to understand Nala’s needs and personality. During my time away, Olivia provided regular updates, including photos, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, Nala was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional cat sitter!”

About: I grew up having dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting, walking, boarding and cat sitting for my friends pets. I'm a dedicated and calm animal lover. Pet care is a already part of my daily routine. I care for my cat every day, making sure she’s fed and gets the attention she needs. I’m used to scheduling my time around pets’ routines, whether that means visits, playtime, or medication when needed. I own my home, so visiting pets will be in a calm and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of attention and never leave them unattended during visits. If a visiting kitty needs their own space, I can provide a quiet, separate room.

“Bruna was amazing taking care of Zaya. It was a longer than normal day but she ensured Zaya had lots of fun, play time with toys and furfriends and Perrogie, and they walked a lot which made the doggy pretty happy!! She also sent lots of updates and pics during the day and I was confident Zaya couldn't be in a better place. Bruna is also very caring, flexible and communicative. I would definitely recommend her and I'm sure Zaya is already missing her so we can't wait to book it again! Thank you so much Bruna!! ❤️”
“Natasha was very friendly, professional and easygoing with booking and accommodating Bruce as a puppy. She gave me an update on how he was doing that reassured me he was in good hands. Bruce got one-on-one attention and care by someone who clearly loves dogs and I am thankful. He had a safe yard to sniff around in and a warm person to cuddle with. Have already rebooked and will continue to do so.”
About: My husband (Scott) and I have had dogs (and other animals) our entire lives. Over the years, we have consistently opened our home to rescues, strays, fosters, friend/ family pets, and have even socialized 4 litters of feral kittens for the Humane Society. Scott also has close to 15 years’ worth of experience with the Humane Society as a cruelty investigator. In 2024, we had to say farewell to both our aged cat and dog . We so miss our four-legged companions and are now ready to share our home again by spoiling your furry friends with exercise, cuddles and play time. So, doing so through Rover seemed like a natural fit. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to pamper, exercise and stimulate your pooch! If our energy wanes at all, rest assured our 9-year-old son is always ready to step in with his endless enthusiasm 😊 Our extensive experience with senior animals, has also provided us with skills in administering medication, attending to spinal injuries, elderly pets, specialized food preparation etc. Having owned a rescue dalmatian, two rescue miniature dachshunds, and a 3-legged hound, we are also very familiar how to accommodate special needs, diets, injuries etc. Most importantly, we have learned that each furry friend has their own unique personality! 😊 A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil it like it is our own (and we will send you pictures to prove it)! Melody & Scott We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends!

“Cachell was amazing with Lucca, she was flexible with drop off/pick up and he came back to me happy & ready to sleep! Will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future!”
“Lucas and Thyara are great sitters! They were very attentive and I got frequent updates. Oreo enjoyed their beautiful home and playing in their yard. I definitely recommend them!”
“Shernaaz and her husband took fantastic care of Pablo, and were so happy to've met him and taken care of him! Communication was a breeze, pick up and drop off were really smooth, and they were very accommodating. I look forward to booking them again in the future.”
“Shala had a great time with Kathleen! She played with another dog, rolled in the snow, stalked squirrels, ate treats, went for a long walk, and had a nap. What else can a dog wish for?”
“I’ve booked with Clayton multiple times now for Maki and he’s been great every time. He’s flexible with scheduling and it’s clear Maki enjoys her time with him. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter”
“Daniel was really great and caring with my dog. I appreciate he took the time to meet and greet before. He gave regular updates and was very responsive. Thank you again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”
About: I have taken care of my precious Maggie for the past 15 years, before she crossed the rainbow bridge <3 Dog sitting is such a great way to meet other dog souls and I am so ready to give some love and take care of a pet. I absolutely love dogs and their sweet presence. I enjoy going on walks in the forest nearby (various Gatineau Park trails), play with them, take care of them and relax with them (on our sunny deck outside, in a hamac, on our couch). I am comfortable with teaching baisc skills to dogs or maintaning their skills. I use positive reinforcement and yummy treatos. I can also take care of dogs with a lot of fur as my Maggie was a Sheltie. We can also bring the dog to our favorite gentle groomer for nail trims. My partner will also help when he is home, and he loves dogs just as much as I do! He is really good at teaching various commands to dogs, he is extremely patient and he also loves to play with dogs. Together, we make a good team! And we can play in the yard, trails or dog park with your puppy :) . I am currently a full time student, and occasional yoga teacher. Simon works from Monday to Thursday on a flexible schedule. We are home some afternoons/mornings depending on our schedule, and every evening. We can take the dog outside for walks mornings and evening, and sometimes at noon. Or we can let the dog chill outside in our backyard to enjoy the smells and the sun, provided the pup is comfortable on a long leash. The yard is 90% private and fenced, there is just a unfenced gap on the side that looks into our parking lot or is covered by cedars. We are home on weekends and can provide lots of activities and care for your puppy from Friday to Sunday. We try to coordinate our schedule to spend as much time as possible providing care for the pet we sit :) We can provide potty breaks from 4-8 hours. I have a big private yard that is partially fenced, but we have a long leash so the dog can roam around. If you have a long leash too, please bring it! There is a big garden in our yard not accessible to the dogs. There are lots of squirrel and birds around our backyard. We live near the Gatineau Park, so lots of possibilities for walks and runs on a leash in the woods. We also have a spacious home where the dogs can play around, we have some dog pillows, and a small & big crate if necessary. We have a closed shower if the dogs need a little cleanup. If necessary, we also have a barrier/baby gate. There are no cats nor kids in the house, no one smokes and our neighborhood is quiet and calm. We do have plants in the house. We can also bring the dogs to dog parks nearby by foot or by car. We can drive around to other trails where the dogs could walk off-leash, play in water or play fetch. Our neighbourhood is calm, we live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Almost no cars drive by, but we occasionally see walkers and dogs on our street.
“Sophie was so kind and took our dog on very short notice (we only asked the night before!). She went for extensive walks with our dog and into a dog park and gave her yummy treats - and for everything, she asked before whether lt would be okay. We are so glad we met Sophie and will be back soon with our dog!”
“Ella is so amazing and sweet with Odin! Odin is always super excited when he see her. She is so very accommodating and is always ready to take Odin in. He always comes back tired which is a great plus on days where I'm too exhausted after work. Thank you so much!”

“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.”
“Nooki et Isabelle ont eu une super ballade. Le premier contact a été excellent. Nooki lui a tout de suite fait confiance et semble s’être bien amusé. Isabelle est douce et montre de l’assurance avec les chiens. Elle a su bien s’occuper d’elle parfaitement. J’ai reçu des photos et des vidéos de leur ballade, ce qui était très rassurant pour une première fois. Merci beaucoup! Et a très vite.”

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: 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: 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.

“Jesseca and Alex did a great job looking after our 14 year old Golden Retriever over Easter weekend. He seemed happy and did not want to leave when we went to pick him up. Thank you!”
“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”
“Melody and the family were amazing with my pup. They were very accommodating and the booking process was very easy. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress-free with my pup in their care as I was getting constant updates and pictures of him having a blast with the family. I recommend their services and will for sure book with them again!”
“Ella took a really good care of my dog Kaiser while I was away for two weeks. She sent me updates daily so I knew my dog is in a good hand, my dog had a wonderful time with Ella.”
“Bella was relaxed and well exercise when I picked her up Cristina was wonderfully flexible about my pick up times and accommodated my needs that changed. This was my first experience with Rover and I’m very happy with it.”
“Thanks to Justyne for doing a great job with my fur baby Richmond. She was patient, kind offering lots of play and training. My boy is shy with potty and generally won’t eat with new people but, he did awesome with Justyne. I love all the photos and updates. We will absolutely book again and recommend her.”
“Qianzhi was great with Eevee! She kept Eevee happy by playing with her and taking her on many walks which included trails. Our favourite thing she did was the constant flow of pictures she sent us, so we always knew what she was doing. Qianzhi was very communicative and was to quick to reply to any and all messages. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Frederic is the dog-whisperer of the region! He’s amazing with dogs; Can I give 6 stars? Rocky has stayed with Frederic a couple times and each boarding experience has been nothing short of exceptional! The last time Rocky boarded with Frederic was when we were in a tight spot abroad and our original pet sitter fell through. Frederic came to the rescue without hesitation - he took in our beloved Rocky at a moment's notice and went above and beyond to ensure his safety and happiness. Rocky adores Frederic, and it's evident that Frederic has a special connection with dogs. Thank you, Frederic, for being our go-to guardian angel for Rocky!”
“Rosie was fantastic with Butterscotch! We loved all the updates, and we could see that she was having a great time. Rosie made sure she had tons of exercise and enrichment, snuggles, and treats! We will gladly have Rosie care for Butter again!!”
“Mahnaz was wonderful with our temperamental little Mocha while he stayed with her last week, and had patience with him while he settled in. She sent many pictures and videos while we were away, so we could see that he was well cared for. We’ve already booked a second stay.”
“Christopher took care of my senior dog super well. He sent me multiple updates and photos each day. He made sure my dog get his daily walks multiple times. I will definitely bring Momo back and highly recommend!”
“Great experience booking with Shanice. You could tell right from her greeting that my dog was in good hands. Good communication, very helpful and friendly, I got plenty of pawsitive photos of my dog having fun lounging and going for a run! Yes my 10 year old dog went for a run, and she loved it. She normally won’t eat when I’m away but Shanice made her feel right at home and she ate right away from the first night. Very happy we went with this, would 100% recommend.”
“Sheyla and Olivia were awesome with our Bernese. Right away, she adored them. They took her for multiple walks each day and sent updates often. It was clear that our dog was getting more than enough attention with Sheyla and Olivia! I would absolutely re-book them!”
“First time user of Rover and I was very impressed with the professionalism and level of care that my Frankie received. If and when I ever need a dog-sitter again, I will jump at the chance to have Julia take care of my baby.”
“Perfect. Simply a perfect first time experience using Rover.com. Kailyn was accommodating to our changing scheduling needs, provided us with daily updates and pics, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in using her services again. Our only concern is that Pino, our dog, might start to prefer Kailyn over us.”
“Nick was great! Reggie seemed really happy and comfortable with him, and I felt totally at ease leaving him in his care. Nick sent updates and was great about checking in whenever he wasn’t sure about Reggie’s quirks (Frenchies are.. unique), which I really appreciated. He’s also conveniently located downtown near where we live, so drop-off and pick-up were super easy. Reggie had a great stay and I’d happily book with Nick again.”
“Debbie and Greg always take such good care of Izzy! So happy to have found them. This is the 3rd time they have babysat Izzy and Izzy is always so relaxed when we pick her up.”
“Our dog, Lady, always comes home so happy and well cared for after being with Johanne. She really enjoys her time there. Johanne is very kind and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend”
