Pet Sitting in Ottawa

“Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!”

“Angie is the best! She has done drop in visits for my two cats numerous times - most recently for 14 days while I was gone in a trip. When I got home my cats were calm and relaxed as if I hadn't been gone at all. Angie is very kind and well qualified to watch pets, she also brings in my mail and feeds the birds for me... I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My Schedule is open and flexible. I work m-f and I am home after 5 pm. There is someone at my house (my husband works at night) so They are available to help take animals out and on walks if needed. I am very flexible for dropins, house sitting, and much more! Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dog on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house I also have a tiny personal fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to sunbathe in. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. I am also known to make homemade dog treats. Let your dog be spoiled by me!

“Thank you so much for taking care of my kitties! I felt very comfortable leaving them in your capable hands. I’ll contact you in the future, should we need a sitter again! ?”

“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”

Michelle H.

“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”

Jennifer K.

“Haley was so great with Winnie and Baxter! You can tell she has a great love for taking care of animals and the pups took to her easily! She stayed longer to hang out with the pups when she did not need to and followed feeding instructions to a T! I would highly recommend and rehire again!”

Sherry X.

“Sam communicated clearly and showed up (for a meet and greet) when she said she would, and best of all, my kind-of-high-strung dog was calm and happy with her here! He liked her and she liked him, and I’m excited for her to take care of him because I feel confident he’ll be in caring and competent hands!”

About: Currently on a sabbatical from being an administrative law judge. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have personally owned several adopted shelter cats. Kitty, my cancer prone tiny, trained me how to dispense medications and do many other advanced treatments. I am currently working. I like doing it. I write for a living and I don't take that my writing is unclear well. If I take the time to tell you why a date might not work, I expect you to at least try to read and understand. If you tell me to re explain for no reason at all, then don't expect good results. You can scroll up and re read. If there's ambiguity, your questions can be written to get at that. I like dogs, cats, and people who can read. My home is being rebuilt until November 2025. Until then, I only have an apartment, but I take dogs to Paws and Pints and other dog parks as a means of getting out.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the experience I’ve had caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve always helped take care of my uncle’s dog, making sure she was fed, taken out to go potty, and had someone to play with. I’m very patient and always pay attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets, especially dogs. I really enjoy being around animals—it gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and do something I love. Spending time with pets is not only fun for me, but it also helps me stay balanced and happy during the week. When caring for pets, I always make sure their needs come first. With my own dog, I take him outside regularly—whether it’s for potty breaks or just to enjoy some fresh air. I stay by his side the whole time to make sure he feels safe, loved, and not alone. Whether I’m at home or at a client’s home, I give the same level of attention, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I’m always patient and gentle, and I make sure to show them lots of love and affection.

About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.

About: As a dedicated dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique level of skill and confidence to every walk and visit. I’ve raised and trained two German Shepherds from puppyhood, completing both beginner and advanced obedience classes with them — so I’m no stranger to working with strong, intelligent, and high-energy dogs. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different temperaments and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a high-energy adventure, or a cozy overnight stay, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, structure, and lots of love. Dog walking and sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine — I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I love staying active throughout the day. I often take walks between and after classes, so adding a furry walking buddy to my routine is a natural fit. Whether it’s sunny, rainy, or snowy, I’m committed to getting dogs the fresh air and exercise they need. With wide availability and a genuine love for animals, I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and energy levels — from quick potty breaks to long walks or overnight care. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own and a focus on their individual needs! Building trust and creating a safe, positive environment is always my top priority. I use gentle, positive reinforcement through kind words, petting, and encouragement to help dogs feel comfortable and confident. I also love incorporating mentally stimulating games and activities to keep their minds sharp and engaged, along with plenty of exercise to support their physical health. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or an energetic playtime, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

About: Grew up with a Siberian Husky and two cats. Trained and primary caretaker of a Norfolk Terrier and a Corgi. Have taken care of four guinea pigs before while my friends were out of town. Mornings before 7am or Evening after 5pm, as I do still have a full time job at Iowa State University. I'm open to weekends and/or holidays as well though. I live in a 1B1B apartment until Oct 3rd when I move into my new house in Beaverdale! It has a fully fenced in yard and is in a lovely neighborhood for walking one's dog.

About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

About: I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. I can provide high level care, including medications, insulin injections, and mobility assistance. I can handle anxious, reactive and/or energetic dogs. I have a flexible job schedule and will be able to accommodate your dog's needs! I will make them a priority as I do with my own. I live in the country and can provide long walks and trail runs. I just adore dogs and will be happy to dote on yours!
