“Tamara was great! Very clean, communicative, and punctual. She sent regular pictures and info on how my pet was doing throughout her visit and went above and beyond. Would recommend!”

“Matt is an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was evident that he is a true animal lover and wants to provide the highest quality care. We booked Matt for in-home care for three days over Christmas for our challenging reactive rescue. From his consistent updates, it was easy to see that he was working to make sure our dog was exercised, safe, and loved. At the end of the stay, I realized I had given my dog the best Christmas present she could ever want- an exciting, yet relaxing, staycation. I recommend Matt for anyone looking for peace of mind while you're away, especially if you have a high energy dog. Thanks so much, Matt!”

About: I’m a veterinary assistant at a clinic in Ottawa with over five years of experience providing compassionate care to animals. I approach every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe and loved. At home, I care for my two cats, Geneva and Dolly, who are truly part of the family. I currently work from home as my primary job, and in addition, I have a part-time role at a local fitness studio. On Wednesdays, I also work part-time at a veterinary clinic. I know that it can be intimidating to trust a stranger with your beloved pets, but rest assured, I will treat them with the utmost love and care, as if they were my own.
“Audrey is a fantastic pet sitter! She is professional, friendly, and took really good care of my fur babies. She also sent lots of pictures and updates. I didn’t worry one bit about my pets while I was away. My place was clean when I got back. I would definitely have her come back!”

“Laura was an in-home sitter for us while we were away. She was so great with our girl Penny who is a high-energy breed and required some special care after a surgery. Laura even picked up a few treats and a new toy for Penny, and sent us lots of photos and videos of them spending time together. I would highly recommend Laura.”

“Cassandra stayed at our home to look after our pup, Otis! She left our home very clean and was diligent about following the instructions that we left. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that Otis was being well-cared for, especially given that he has a lot of quirks and needs some special attention. Thank you, Cassandra!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and cared for pets for many years. Since moving here two years ago, I’ve missed having pets of my own, so caring for yours is the next best thing! Back in the Philippines, I did independent rescues and fed strays daily, so I’m patient, compassionate, and experienced with pets of all temperaments. I work full-time at Mercedes-Benz, 11–7, five days a week, which means I have plenty of free time outside of work to dedicate to caring for your pets. Currently, I’m not offering in-home pet care at my place, as I don’t have the space for pets right now. I focus on providing love, attention, and care while visiting your home, ensuring your pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy in their own environment
About: What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each animal’s unique energy and meet them where they’re at — with patience, love, and care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors with specific medical needs, as well as cats, chickens, and more. I focus on building trust, creating calm environments, and adapting to each pet’s comfort level. Though I travel often and don’t have pets of my own right now, I treat every animal I care for as if they are family. I’m a university student with a pretty flexible schedule and a few online classes, so I can usually adjust to what works best for you and your pet. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, I’m happy to help. I’m easygoing and creative with scheduling — if you think it might be a tough ask, go ahead and ask anyway! I’ll do my best to make it work. I live alone in a quiet, pet-free apartment, which makes for a calm and safe environment for visiting pets. I’m just steps away from two local dog parks and happy to travel to meet your animal's exercise and play needs. As a house sitter, I take pride in leaving every home tidy and peaceful — my clients often say it’s a joy to come back to a clean space and, most importantly, a happy, relaxed fur baby.
About: I’ve rescued dogs and cats since I was in my early 20s and have dedicated my life to giving them the best possible life. I also worked for a vet clinic and a professional pet sitter/walker for a total of 3 years. I’m passionate about animal husbandry and look forward to giving your pets the best care possible, treating them as if they were my own. I currently work full time but have free time in the evenings and weekends. I want to fill that time with doing what I love while providing the best care that I can give to your pets. I live with a very friendly, 11 year old, senior cat named Emma whom I rescued about 1 year ago. She’s very docile and adapts to any pet that visits, as she lived with other cats and dogs in her previous life. I’m also extremely flexible and adaptable to whatever you or your pets needs are, either in your home or in mine.
About: I truly treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to detail, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I start my mornings early with walks, feeding, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection.
“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”


“Kayla took care of my 3 cats for a whole week while I was away in Europe and it went extremely well :) my apartment was extra clean when I came back and my cats also seemed super calm and happy. She also updated me and sent pics once a day (as I requested). I felt that my cats were in great hands. Kayla would definitely be my first choice of cat sitter if I ever go away again.”

About: Attentive and caring. Nature lover. Love playing tug of war and playing catch with dogs. Live about a 10min walk from Hampton park and dog park. Love also snuggles and taking some down time at home. I have two children, 6 years old and a 9 year old, they are active and playful. My 9 year old loves to do small tasks like pouring the food or brushing the dog. He really wants a dog. My 6 year old loves cuddling and kissing. They are with me every other week. I keep all harmful cleaning products up high and clean mostly with vinegar and water because it's healthier for the kids and environment. Hope to get to know you soon! Cheers. I am home most of the week, working remotely. I am available some weekends- with and without kids, so it doesn't hurt to ask. :) I have a fenced yard that is a good space to let out energy. We go to the park and woods often to explore and take in fresh air. We like to spend time together as a family in the evening either dancing or reading stories together. My kids are well behaved and respectful towards animals. I am also available every other weekend for house sitting. Again-- asking does not hurt-it might be possible. I like to fiddle around with photography so I take some more "artistic photos" if I see one.
“Beckett took amazing care of our dog and cat. They were clearly comfortable with him and loved all the attention. The house was super clean when we got home too! Would definitely recommend and will use again!”

About: I have never not had a pet in my household! I am patient, kind and love being active with animals. I currently own a Pomsky named Cooper! I work full time but primarily remotely. This gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time outside with my pets! I do not work weekends, so most weekend are spent outdoors with my dog Cooper. Personally, I think it is extremely important to always find the time to bring my animals outside and to have them on a routine. My dog is very energetic so I always make sure to bring him on long walks and sometimes even runs. I have a large fenced in backyard which is great for my dog.
About: I grew up with a dog and now I'm the doggie auntie💁🏻♀️. Very flexible as I work from home two days a week. Here for exercise and community building. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and otherwise I have availability at my job is flexible for breaks. I am also around most weekends. All I need is clear communication, and I can be flexible to any routine. I used to dog sit for dogs that required peanut butter on toast with breakfast and would only come inside from a jaunt if a granola box was being shaken, so I am up for any challenge and specificities.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. The animals care is my top priority I’m currently available full-time and have a strong background in the construction field, which means I’m reliable and flexible. Looking forward to providing great care for your pets! I provide personalized in-home pet care, including daily walks and attentive care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.
