House Sitting in Ottawa

“Melanie cared for our rat terrier, Rosie, for 3 weeks in April, and we are thrilled with the experience! I was nervous because we had never left Rosie with anyone, and for such a long time. Melanie met with me ahead of time to let me & Rosie get comfortable with her -- I knew right away we'd be in good hands, and Rosie adored her from the start! Melanie sent lots of messages and photos every day, and we ended up chatting about everything from food and the weather to my houseplants. She followed my detailed instructions for treats, exercise, and dog food, and left our house spotless, even washed the towels & sheets. We highly recommend Melanie because she is a very responsible dog-sitter, and is truly passionate about dogs. I think Rosie would have gone home with her if she could, they really bonded with all that cuddling! We will ask Melanie to care for Rosie for all future trips.”

“Zain did an absolutely amazing job with my two cats. We booked him for a week and not only did we come back to a spotless place, but we came back to incredibly calm and relaxed cats. I appreciated all the photos and updates during my trip, and never felt out of the loop. I look forward to booking him in the future.”

“Kayla did a great job taking care of Caesar and provided regular updates and photos. She left the apartment very clean and tidy. Will definitely be my first choice the next time I need a sitter!”

“From the time I met Shelley, I knew I would feel completely at ease leaving our dog with her. You can tell right away how much she loves animals. She went above and beyond during the stay, sending updates, and giving our (sometimes needy and quirky) girl lots of attention. I’m so happy to have found Shelley. Next stay is already booked!”

“Another great booking with Christine. Everything is just so easy and reliable with her. We are always so happy to have her watch our two dogs.”

“Chloe is absolutely amazing. She took on an overnight booking for my Doberman extremely last minute, and was so great with him. She came to meet him before coming to pet sit, got familiar with my place and his routine and took such great care of him. I had 0 worries while I was away and came home to a happy tired puppy. I would recommend her over and over! Thank you, Chloe!”

“Christina took excellent care of our senior cat and apartment! Communication was great and overall our first pet-sitting experience left us feeling secure in the process and confident we left our Roja in good hands. Thank you Christina!”

“Megan was great! As a new dog owner it was a relief finding such a great dog care provider like Megan. She was able to give me tips and watch him when I was away on vacation and accommodated my needs with Rykers schedule. She communicated great and let me in the loop as well! Highly recommend :)”

“I cannot praise Ally's pet sitting services enough, especially when it comes to caring for our 10yr old cat Benny. Benny requires special attention due to his partial blindness, deafness, confusion and dietary restrictions. Ally not only meets these needs but exceeds them with flying colors. You can clearly see she genuinely cares about his comfort and happiness :). She will adjust lighting for his vision and provide reassurance with endless support when he's confused and his movements are restricted. Ally is more than just a pet sitter, she's a true guardian angel for Benny and a godsend for my family! Thank you, Ally, for your unwavering dedication to Benny's well-being. You are, without a doubt, the best caregiver we could ask for. J. Poole and Family”

“Rhiana always takes care of my dog Max and my kitten Peach when I am out of town for work. She takes care of them like her own. I always had trouble cutting my kittens nails but Rhiana does it every time she is over. They are always so happy to see her. I would recommend her services over anyone.”

“Eliza took care of my golden retriever last year and she was very accommodating and made sure my dog was taken care of at all times. She also sent texts and pictures of my dog to update me.”

“Alexis was excellent with our two dogs - Socks and Senya, and they adored her! She also took great care of our house and left it neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend her! She is very friendly and warm, and made sure to provide us regular updates throughout the week that we were away. Thank you Alexis!”

“Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Katie who took care of our cats for 9 days. From the moment we connected, her communication was prompt and clear, which immediately put us at ease. She sent us pictures every day, provided other daily updates, and was very prompt when communicating about things like their feeding schedule, sleeping, playing habits, etc. One of our kitties puked on the bed, and Katie immediately alerted us and cleaned up her mess. She also completely cleaned the kitty's litter boxes while we were away. We have had a lot of mediocre experiences with past sitters so having someone reliable like Katie to take care of our kitties has been a godsend! I cannot recommend Katie enough to fellow pet owners who are seeking reliable and compassionate care for their pets!”

“Kate is Great with our Doggo Indy. He can be a handful to walk and she can still handle him! He is always happy to see her and we never worry about him when she is around!”

“We hired Norman to house sit for us and take care of our dog and two cats for a week, and he was excellent. Norman was easy to communicate with and friendly, he took excellent care of our pets and provided regular updates, and left our place clean and organized when he left. As he works remotely he was able to spend lots of time with our pets and we felt very comfortable having him here and knowing he was present and keeping an eye on things. I highly recommend him and will definitely look to book him again if we need a housesitter and pet care.”

“Kandice was great! She was very communicative throughout and I felt very stress free leaving my cat with her. I could tell from the pictures of Bologna that she was very comfortable with Kandice. I would definitely request Kandice's services again.”

“Amanda was the perfect sitter for my sweet, anxious Tortie cat. I was worried to leave her with a stranger for the first weekend ever (normally she stays with friends) but fate brought us to the right person :) Amanda was flexible with me and my schedule, attentive and loving with my cat, and super communicative, striking an amazing balance between professional and friendly. I got tons of adorable pictures and even videos, even though I didn't even think of asking for them. It was literally not different from leaving her with a friend after all. So happy with this stay, thank you SO much Amanda, will definitely be trusting you again next time! All the best to you and Darwin ♡”

“Melina was amazing with our dog Nanook. We really appreciated her flexibility when our schedule changed. She seems like a very kind person and took great care of our dog.”

“I have known mark forever now and he is the sweetest human ever! He will go above and beyond for anybody no matter the need. He has such a love for animals he would be perfect for this job.”

“She has always loved to care and learn about animals. She used to scour the local libraries (before the internet became as prevalent as it is today) to read about different species, body language, and care. It’s always been her passion to have pets and provide them a safe and loving home.”
