Pet Sitting Russell

“Keshia is the absolute best. She genuinely loves animals and is 100% reliable. We’ve hired her a few times now, and her hilarious daily updates make our day!”

“Selina took exceptional care of my cat, Ink, while I was away. She came every single day to feed him, clean his litter, and most importantly, spend real quality time petting and playing with him. Ink has asthma and requires medication, and he can be quite a difficult cat with new people. I was honestly very stressed about leaving him, but Selina completely put my mind at ease. She handled his meds perfectly and was incredibly patient and gentle with him. Every day, she sent me thoughtful updates along with beautiful photos and videos, which reassured me more than she probably knows. It made such a difference being able to see that Ink was comfortable and well cared for. I would strongly recommend Selina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again the next time I travel.”

“We had a great experience! Caylie took amazing care of our big, energetic dog while we were away for the weekend, and we came home to a very happy pup. She was reliable, communicative, and did everything exactly as promised. She was also incredibly accommodating when we had a last-minute change, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

“Amanda is fantastic. She’s punctual, professional and so kind to the fur babies. My dog really enjoys their time together.”

About: I began pet care when I was 10, helping care for neighbours’ pets while they were away on vacation. I also worked as a vet’s assistant in animal hospitals. This included the basic feeding and caring for animals in hospital but I also aided in vaccinations/wellness checks, and illness prevention. Through this, I also gained experience with animals with behavioural issues (i.e. aggression, nervousness, etc.). I currently work at a doggy daycare/dog boarding facility, where I supervise playgroups, walk dogs, and feed and administer any medications. I am currently a dog daycare attendant, so my schedule is very flexible around my shifts. I hope to provide your loved one with as much care and attention as those I work with! I would hope to provide a fun and caring environment for your loved one. I will care for your pet with the same love I provide for my own animals. I would enjoy playing, cuddling or helping out with any other pet care needs.

About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs. I grew up as a dog person & when we got our first dog when I was 10 I was in love. Ive taken care of all kinds of dogs since including anxious dogs, overly excited dogs & dogs with separation anxiety. I’ve done dog sitting in other households as well as my own & dog walking for neighbours/families. I am a certified dog trainer & actively working with my mentor to increase my experience. I am pet CPR certified Dog walking certified Boarding certified & pet nutrition certified through the Animal Behavior College. I’m currently a part time student, graduating at the end of October 2026 & then I will be available from 9:30am-4pm during the day & then in the evenings from 4:30pm-8pm I have 2 dogs , Indie, a 4 year old mini Goldendoodle & Skye a 6 month old German shepherd. Your dogs will be treated like a member of my pack. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture & wherever we are. I do tend to put them in their crates while we are eating as we have toddlers. We do not currently have a fenced in yard, however my dogs do well on long leads & we are always outside when they are.

About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting as of January 1, 2027. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I don’t have any obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 For now, I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). As of January 1, 2027, I will be fully retired and available 24/7. I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. I’m pretty good at interpreting the signs for potty time, but I love learning as much as I can from you about what your baby’s habits, needs and preferences are. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and happy, and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing, even when sniffing the ground, making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!

“Kelly set my mind at ease, with great pictures, of my cat Bella. And a daily update on how she's been doing, while I was away.if you're looking to take the stress out of booking a pet sitter. Give her a try,you won't be disappointed.”

“Rebecca did a fantastic job with my little girl! The pictures she took made me feel very comfortable with the care Rebecca was giving to Lola. I would definitely have her come back and care for my little girl.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for many years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising and caring for Mack, my black Lab who has been part of our family since 2012, Lilo, my beloved Miniature Pinscher who has passed away, and Harley, our Boston Terrier and Dachshund mix. Today, I share my life with Cookie, our four-year-old German Shepherd. Having experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own! My daily routine includes three walks a day, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles! ❤️ I want every furry guest to feel safe, happy, and right at home while receiving all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! ❤️ I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I follow their routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. With my own German Shepherd, Cookie, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🐾

“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Known to be VERY respectful of every fur parents' homes, fur baby training, feeding, walking schedules; loving, enthusiastic, responsible and timely, with strong communication skills. You can always trust me with your fur baby! I have a full time day job and work (on-site) 8am-4pm on weekdays. I also volunteer on Saturdays and have various classes sprinkled throughout the year. I work very well with furbabies who can be alone during the day. I strive to provide a safe and responsible environment. I follow each parents' routine to a T (whether that's feeding amounts or exercise times), so that the fur baby's schedule does not shift upon return. I am also very tuned to differing personalities and will accommodate accordingly.

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 (8-4), with one day 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: I love animals, especially dogs. I like creating a nice environment for them with fresh water, food and play indoors and out.

We have a large home where I provide very safe care for every animal.

About: My name is David-Alexander. I am available to travel with my vehicle throughout the Gatineau and Ottawa area. I am currently available at any time, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to care for your pets either in your home or mine. I have a 11-year-old female dog named Kali. ALL PETS ARE WELCOME! Kali was aggressive for years I have experience with temperament Coming from a family that has always had pets, I have been passionate about animal care my entire life. I have owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and would be happy to care for yours as if they were my own. Why choose me? I understand how important it is to know that your furry family member is being left in a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment. I will make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, well-fed, and loved while you are away. Whether they need supervision, companionship, exercise, or simply someone to keep them company, I am happy to help. I would be happy to send you photos and updates of your pets while I am caring for them I can provide two one-hour walks each day for dogs who require lots of exercise. for temperamental dogs we must do a together session so they learn to get to know me I am also available for home visits where I can: Feed your pets Take them outside for bathroom breaks Walk and exercise them Give them affection and companionship Administer basic care according to your instructions My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so that you can have peace of mind while you're away from your pets. I work from home and look for some companionship. hike and walk a lot. I love audiobooks, and I hate sitting still if you have a high-energy dog. Perfect. If your dog is old and slow. Awesome just means I get to the end of my book faster. I also had a rescue that needed a lot of training and an alpha male to make her feel protected and safe. It took years to get her to walk by people, dogs, and children. I still cry to this day thinking about where we started and how it ended. I think about all the times she looked up at me for reassurance. I miss her so much. Life is too short for animals; they need loving walks and belly rubs. My roommate has a mini dog. Our yard is large and fenced in. I'm always home or hiking, so your dogs would get a lot of walks and hikes in Gatineau Park. I also set goals for my dog; a newtrick a day keeps the doctor away.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my German Shepard since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats ever since and would love to host your pet. I have trained my dog with patience and will be able to handle absolutely anything! I currently work permanent part time and will be able to take care of your pet whenever I am available. With that said, this includes walks, nutrition, and overall attention to the dog/cat during the entirety of their stay. My house does not have any hazards and has a fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I live in a very safe and beautiful neighbourhood that can accommodate any pet. My house is far from any major road, surrounded by a golf course, and is close to various parks and pathways that the pets may enjoy.

About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.
