Pet Sitting in Ottawa

“Victoria was very polite and knowledgeable when interacting with us and the pups. All 3 of them seemed to enjoy her company and liked her from the start! Will be using again for the foreseeable future ?”

“Teresa is wonderful. My dogs instantly connected with her which is great, but she is also a great communicator, experienced, and flexible. we feel very lucky to have connected with her.”

“Halie was the BIGGEST sweetheart! Our dogs loved her. She played with them and loved on them, and you can tell from the photos how comfortable they were. She cleaned the floor after they dragged mud in without even being asked and even left us a little welcome home gift! Seriously the best, can’t recommend her enough.”

About: Hello pet parents of wonderful pups and kitties of all shapes and sizes! 🐾 My name is Alexa, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and even jellyfish (yes, really - I used to care for them in a marine biology research lab during my undergraduate at Penn State!). I've personally owned three dogs and three cats over the years, including my current family pets: a sweet German Shepherd named Willow and a spunky tortoiseshell cat, Hazel. I’ve cared for pets both big and small, from a 100-pound shepherd to a tiny 17-year old yorkie named Harley. As a remote project manager in kidney disease research, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, responsive care. In 2023, I spent extended periods of time in Virginia caring for the sweetest pets, Ellie (a golden retriever) and Harley (the yorkie), and I regularly help friends and family with pet care. Since I’m staying put in Pennsylvania for the next few months, I’ve decided to officially open up my availability on Rover again! I’m also an avid hiker and trail runner, so if your dog has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to help with that! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I’m happy to adjust to their style and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care. I do not offer boarding or care in my own home at this time. I’m comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra TLC. As a project manager, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am a full-time remote project manager, so I have a relatively flexible routine. My meetings are mostly from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET, but I have the availability to step outside to take a walk, feed animals, etc.. I take safety, trust, and respect very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. While living on my own in Virginia, I cared for two dogs, one of whom was a senior with special needs, for extended periods, treating their home as if it were my own. I maintain a clean and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets feel secure and loved in their familiar space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I make sure to familiarize myself with local veterinary clinics, emergency contacts, and any specific care instructions before starting any visit. I believe preparation is key to providing dependable, responsible care, and I’m always just a message away with updates and photos to keep you in the loop.

“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Angi & Harold were a pleasure to work with. They helped us out in an emergency situation when our current sitters left us high and dry. They took great care of our pets(who aren’t easy!) while we were gone. Would definitely use them again.We hope to use them again.”

Beth W.

“Absolutely the best I would recommend her to anyone friendly and on time. Witch I like someone that take pride in what they do. And my dog Tank absolutely loved seeing her. Will definitely use again”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent currently sharing my home with 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bunny, and a chinchilla. My family lovingly calls me the cat whisperer—but the truth is, animals of all kinds seem to feel at ease around me. With a lifetime of caring for pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your furry (or fluffy!) family members. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special care routines, I provide the same love and attention I give my own pets. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch—I'd love to meet your pets! I work from home and have a pretty flexible work schedule so your dog will be able to go outside multiple times a day, or whenever it needs to! While I have a large, open yard, it is unfenced—so for everyone’s safety, all visiting dogs are supervised at all times and never left outside unattended. My own two dogs are crate trained, and I use crates or safe indoor spaces as needed to ensure a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!

“Where to even start?? Makahalee has been a saving grace for my puppy and I for the last year. I thought working 12hr shifts in healthcare would make it impossible to get a puppy, until she came along! There were times where she would come every 4hrs for potty breaks when Maggie was just a puppy. Receiving pictures of her with every visit is such a breath of fresh air in the middle of my work shift, too. She has always treated my dog like her own, and has gone above and beyond: leaving lights on when appropriate, giving meds, watching for certain things when Maggie was sick and relaying the info, walking her around town, using her electric collar as instructed, feeding her, burning her energy with play. You name it, Makahalee will do it and do it well! She is diligent with her work and flexible enough to always make it work with your schedule. I can’t say enough great things 🥰”

“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I have vast experience working with many different animals, and one of my greatest strengths is helping make the animals I work with feel comfortable. I am certain that I could do the same with your animals too! Specifically, the animals that I work with range from box turtles, cats, small dogs, and large dogs. I am currently a student at Capital University, but I am willing to squeeze in time on my breaks and during the summer to walk and/or take care of your fur babies for whenever you need!! I have a very flexible schedule and would be willing to work with you in order to meet your pet's needs! My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. You give me a time and place and I'll be there for your fur baby!

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life. I grew up on a farm and I prefer animals over people. I can train any pet I’m currently working a full time job. My weekends are free and my evenings are completely open. I get off between 4pm and 6pm depending on the week day I have a small apartment but it stays clean and tidy. I have no yard but lots of grass and sidewalk around my apartment. I will always play with your pet and make sure there is food, water, and no messes.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was younger. I’m good with all breeds and sizes. I love to dog walk and if your dog is older, im very patient and gentle. I have alot of free time so my schedule is very flexible. I work from home just make sure you let me know atleast a day if you cancel. I’m available on weekends and weekdays. I personally don’t have a dog of my own also my back yard isn’t fenced but there is a ton of room to walk or run. I only allow small dogs in my appartment. If your dog is big would have to come to your house

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for 10+years. Friends, families, neighbors they have all relied on me to take care of their pets and still it’s really not like a job but a dream. I currently don’t work , so I am available literally 24 seven to take care of pets of all kinds except Sundays but text or call at anytime. I have a big yard away from the highways I live in the country and I have two friendly dogs to keep company with any kind of other pet visitors we might have.
