With years of experience and a genuine passion for dogs, I ensure your furry friends receive personalized care, plenty of exercise, and lots of love. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I tailor my services to meet your dog’s unique needs. Rest assured, your pet will be in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I am available starting at 3:30 PM on weekdays, as well as on weekends. Additionally, if clients live nearby, I have a lunch hour during which I can come by to visit the dog.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities over the years, and I’ve done lots of dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbours. I’m currently a second-year university student, so I know how to stay organized and responsible but I also have plenty of energy for playtime and long walks. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care! I’m currently wrapping up my semester at university, which means my schedule is wide open right now. I have extremely flexible availability! Any day of the week and almost any time works for me. Whether you need early-morning walks, midday check-ins, or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work. When I’m caring for a dog in a client’s home, I try to keep things as familiar and comfortable for them as possible. For walks, I start by greeting your dog calmly and making sure their leash, harness, and any instructions you’ve left are all set. During the walk, I follow their usual pace, always staying in their comfort zone. Whether they like to take their time sniffing around or enjoy a more upbeat stroll. After we get back, I make sure they have fresh water, give treats if you allow them, and help them settle in before I leave. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home and your dog’s routine, so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
About: With the shared responsibilities of owning a family dog, I have learned how to properly take care of our beloved furry friends. In addition, I have been a reliable dog-walker and dog-sitter for family and friends over the years. I work a full-time job, but if you need a walk or visit I am free before 8am and after 4:30pm!! I enjoy long walks, in which I would love to have a furry companion to join me. If your dog needs the extra exercise or energy release, I am a college student athlete and I can also jog along with your dog. I will respect the routines and environment that you have implemented for your dog in your home. I will care for your dog depending on how you have your space set up.
About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.
“I wanted to say thank you to Kevin for taking such good care of my little guy. Kevin went over and above for my little guy taking him on walks and spending time with him while I was away from work. I felt at ease knowing my pup was well taken care of while I was away. Very happy with the service thank you again Kevin so much!!”
About: I have worked with many dogs over the years, ranging from labs to doodles to retrievers! I have loved cats and dogs since my very early days, and absolutely love spending time with animals! I have many years of experience with dogs and cats of various sizes, and am more than willing to help out wherever needed! I work part-time at my other job as I am home from university. In my spare time, I would be more than willing to help anyone who needs care for their pets!! My home has a larged, fenced off yard that dogs typically love. Our home is also predominantly one floor, making it easier on older animals who have limited mobility! I’m also able to pet sit at your home :)
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have been pet & housesitting since the age of 10 & owned many animals of my own including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, & rabbits. I’ve also worked in a dog kennel previously and have experience caring for various breeds and temperaments of dogs, have administered various medications and prepared meals according to specific dietary needs. I’m highly responsible & will care for your pet as I would my own. I’m currently a full time student living near the university. I’m now on summer break, working part time. Feel free to contact me, we can discuss your needs and I may be able to work around certain things in my schedule. I will respect your home and follow your instructions for pet care so that your furry friend feels safe & loved while you’re gone. I’m happy to send photo updates as well and keep in contact as I know how hard it can be to be away from them. I will ensure your home is respected and am comfortable cleaning up after pet messes if needed.
About: Hi everyone!! Please use my promo code to get money off your first rover experience! CADES50914 https://www.rover.com/sit/cades50914 I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, caring for family and friends' dogs and cats with a genuine love for spending time with them. Pets have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy being active with them, whether it's going for walks or even runs with my furry friends. I am currently a full-time student at the University of Toronto, but my afternoons and weekends are free to play, walk, and check in on your pups and cats. I am very flexible with times and can accommodate most needs. When checking in on your pets, I ensure they're comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. I stick to their routines, providing food, water, and any necessary medications. I also take time for play, cuddles, and walks to keep them happy and active. I aim to create a calm, loving atmosphere so they feel secure while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Bell! I’ve had dogs my entire life and am experienced in taking care of both large dogs and senior dogs! I am also comfortable around reactive dogs and understand their particular needs. Dogs are creatures of habit, so I do my best to keep up with their usual routines in your stead making the stressful separation from their family as least disruptive to their life as possible! I have entirely open availability and am able to do same day scheduling. I am flexible and can adapt to the routines and schedules you and your pets prefer. My main goal is to ensure that your pet feels just as comfortable in their home as they always do. Before you leave I will ask you for their regular routine, habits, walk routes, peculiarities, etc, to make sure that the experience brings as little stress as possible to your pet. I am also aware that some pets are more cuddly than others and will always do my best to respect their boundaries and allow them space to decompress. Typically, if they have a bed or other sleeping/relaxing area, I respect that that is their space and won’t approach them there unless absolutely necessary.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
Katie was booked last minute when we required someone to check in on our dog while we were away for the day. She was easy to communicate with, had an updated schedule showing her availability and even scheduled in a quick meet and greet before the day we needed her. We appreciated her detailed report on the visit!
Subha was able to come by and take care of Chester as a last minute request. She did a great job and was very thorough, making sure his paws were dry and asking about combing them so he wouldn’t mat after playing outside. Chester loved her and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rideau Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
