“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“Celine was wonderful! She kept us posted with pics of our dog enjoying her deck and sleeping comfortably on her couch. Celine was easily accessible and a joy to talk to. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”

“I will always be extremely grateful with Kristal for taking excellent care of Pandita. Kristal is a really sweet and kind lady. She kept me updated all the time! She sended me pictures, videos, feed her, played with her, and took her to walks. Even gave me a little bed for Pandita because she loved it so much. I would totally choose her again and trust her blindly as my dog caregiver. Thank you so much Kristal!”
“LaTonya was amazing! I left my energetic six month old puppy with her right in the middle of a bad teething stage and she was great! She sent multiple photos throughout the day along with frequent updates on how he was doing! My puppy had never been away from me for a night or stayed with anyone else and she was SO patient with him! Her having her own dogs is a HUGE plus since I think it was a big reason why my puppy got settled so quickly. I would recommned her to anyone!”
“Lisa is so incredibly sweet and upbeat and knowledgeable about animals! She was always communicative and was willing to be flexible when my travel was impacted out of my control. My dog Scoobie adores her and loves her house and it’s amazing she has a backyard and plenty of room to play ball with my little one inside! Will be booking again.”
About: I have owned, loved and taken care of all types of dogs my entire life from Pugs to Pit Bulls to Mastiffs. From puppies to senior dogs in wheelchairs I can meet their physical and emotional needs. Med management includes injections for diabetic dogs. I retired early so I am home all day/night. When your dog is here, they will never be left alone. They don’t need to sleep in their crate unless that is your preference. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet ramp at the deck for wheelchair bound, senior dogs or puppies. Dogs have full access to the house and yard always under my supervision. Property has security cameras inside and outside.

“Penny was fantastic with my pup! It was such a gift to find her and know he was in good hands when we were out of town. My puppy is a challenging, high energy guy, who could not stay just anywhere. Penny has so much knowledge and provided an enriching environment for him with new experiences. She even spent time training him, including new cues like having him lay down on his bed. I received daily updates and photos from Penny and will surely use her again if needed!!”
“Cindy is wonderful and has dog sit for my family for a few years now. I don’t worry when leaving my pups with her because shes so good with them and treats them like she would her own.”

They include a beardie dragon, uromastix, a snake and several tarantulas. I have pet sat dogs(walking) and cats(check in) for neighbors and co-workers on and off as a kid and adult. Going to veterinary school and working in a vet clinic gave me additional experience and skills with animals.I enjoy being around animals and believe them to be part of the family. Reliable, trustworthy and punctual would describe me. Good communication with owners is also important. My availability is open at this time for weekdays and weekends. Don't hesitate to ask questions as I will respond. Have a good day and happy tails!! Currently I am available all seven days for pet sitting and housesitting. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have about my bookings Attending to their needs first. Potty breaks, feedings, litter cleaning or medication. Then some personal attention with pets or hugs. Then fun time with walks or toys!
Ottawa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley has a very calm spirit. It was my first time using Rover and she walked me through the process and allowed me ask 6 million questions. My fur guy was very happy and left in great hands. I will definitely be checking with Ashley first the next time I need a sitter.
Tara went above and beyond. She sent pictures and videos. Plus my hyper puppy came back home tired. Tara truly cares about the work that she does and even picked up and dropped off my Great Dane puppy. I will definitely be using her services again in the very near future.
Meez watched Basil overnight and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. From the moment we met, it was clear she was experienced, responsible, and genuinely cared about animals. I got sent regular updates, including photos and messages, which made me feel so connected and reassured. Basil looked relaxed, happy, and clearly bonded with her and the other dogs. I highly recommend!!!!
