Safety, trust & environment

We usually do overnight housesittings but can also do daytime housesittings and drop-in visits within Ottawa area. We have two kitties, Cosmos and Taylor. They can be a bit shy and skittish at first but will quickly warm up to you after sharing some treats and with them. They can be quite needy so it would be a plus if we could take them to the house we are sitting when traveling far from home - they are really good with other pets.

Information Laura & Nelly Sarai R. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know as much detail as possible about the type of activities your pet usually like to do and their usual routine and behaviour. We would also appreciate knowing if your pet has any behavioural issues (e.g. separation anxiety) and for how long they can be left alone and how often they need pee breaks. We also ask that you provide written instructions about their care and needs once the sitting has been confirmed.

A typical day

We can provide your furbaby with love, attention, play time, and any walks they may need. We could also taken them to local trails and parks if allowed and the timing and weather works for us that day.

Pet care experience

Nelly (my partner) and I have taken care of dogs and cats with different needs, personalities, ages, and sizes. We also used to rescue stray dogs and cats back in my home country where I am a registered Vet.

Laura and Nelly took great care of our cat, dog and our house during a trip. They have stayed before and we’ll definitely have them stay again. Highly recommend!

Laura was great with our pets while we were away. The house was well cared for and we feel very confident in the quality of care our pets received. We will definitely book again (and in fact already have)!

Nellie is very reliable, responsible and caring. My anxious pup gets so excited whenever she comes to petsit. He loves her! We love her too! Thanks Nellie!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
