Sometimes life can get really busy and you might find yourself a little short on time to walk your dog. Luckily with Pawshake, it is really easy to connect with thousands of pet lovers and find a walker in Ottawa who is available and waiting to help you out.

All of our walkers are vetted individually and every dog walker booking is covered by The Pawshake Guarantee so you can rest easy while they spend time with your dog. Additionally, your Pawshake walker will be from your local Ottawa neighbourhood and their profile also includes reviews from other pet parents.

Having a dog walker visit during the day is an affordable and great way to break up the day and make your dog’s day more interesting. Some of our walkers walk multiple dogs at once so this service is a great way for your dog to socialise and meet other similar dogs. However, if your dog prefers to be walked alone, you can also find Ottawa dog walkers who only walk one dog at a time. That way, the walks can be completely dedicated to what your dogs want – whether is a slow walk-and-sniff or a faster paced brisk walk around the block, our Pawshake dog walkers will be happy to oblige.

I had pets my whole life, from cats and dogs to mice and fish. When I was older I didn’t have my own dog but I have a big family that always relied on me doggy sitting their dogs which helped me gain experience with different dogs. Last year I finished studying canine behaviour and I’m working on becoming a dog trainer. I’m happy to try answer any questions on training and behaviour if you have any. I’m experienced with dog-reactive dogs and am happy to soothe your pets separation anxiety or just stop by for a walk or play session.
I’m currently working part-time and I’m available most days until 5pm. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m always open to make drop in visits and walks work.
I live in an apartment with my bengal cat Phoenix and miniature schnauzer Lilo. Both pets are high energy and love to go for walks. I learned a lot about mental stimulation even though physical stimulation is important, exercising your pets mind is just as important. I always love to share ideas about this. 
I’m not able to board your pet at my home since my dog is slightly reactive to other dogs, but I gladly come to your place and take care of your lovely pet. In my experience pets feel better in their known safe space. I’ll make sure your pet will feel loved and will only miss you a little bit while you’re gone.

Hi! I'm Oriana, a master's student from Ottawa, and I'm passionate about reading, writing, animals, photography, and learning languages. My lifelong love for animals, especially cats and dogs, has led me to become a dedicated pet sitter. 
I've even been known to chat with them in Spanish, so who knows, your pets might just become bilingual during our time together! With over a decade of experience, I'm committed to ensuring your furry amigos are comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.  From feeding to playtime, I offer personalized services tailored to your pet's needs.
At the moment, I'm writing my thesis for my M.A., so my schedule is super flexible, and I'm also working on research projects from home. 
 I am located in the Alta Vista area. Therefore, anything further than 30 minutes by car is unfortunately beyond my reach. 
Service Options:
 One-time visit: I can visit your home to check on them, especially for feeding and playing.
 Two-time visit: Since I work from home, I'm very flexible. I can go twice during the day to visit them, typically during feeding time, but I can adapt to your pet's schedule.
 House sitting: I work from home and can spend most of the day with your pet, providing company at night and day. Let me know if your pet needs 24/7 care, and I can work directly from your house! 
Additional Info:
I can also help with administering pills or treatments, house-sitting, watering plants, bringing in mail, and more. I also love sending updates to keep you informed about your furry friends while you're away. Available during the week and weekends, I can hang out with your pet all day or most of the day! Just send me a message, and we can arrange to meet up! 
Please note: I'll be traveling for work and studies until March 2025, so I won't be offering pet sitting services during that time, except for the period between December 15th and January 3rd.
Looking forward to meeting you and the pets! 
Warmest wishes,
Oriana 


*** Available in Centretown Ottawa (and close surrounding area) only, as I do not have a vehicle at this time. ***
I grew up always having pets around and appreciate how much joy and purpose they bring into our lives. As a child, my family had a dog, two cats, 5 birds, and many fish over the years. My own cat just turned 14 and always puts a smile on my face with her playfulness :) My dog (no longer with me) was a rescue from Mexico and we had to work hard to get over reactivity/leash agression, and learn to socialize with other dogs and strangers. Consitency is the key and it was so worth it! If you are training and have special instructions, I will be sure to follow them.
I have looked after many friends' pets and I am happy to help out with your fur pals. Give yourself some peace of mind knowing that they will be cared for as one of my own.
I am available for dog walking and home visits. I can do up to 2 walks per day, up to 30 mins each. I am happy to assist with training while on walks, if there are certain commands you are working on. I can also help with grooming and administering oral medication, if needed. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible.


Hi, I have always loved dogs since i was a kid and now i have a dog named Oreo. She's an australian shepherd and is just a ball of energy. She's also part of the reason I decided to do animal sitting; she loves other dogs. So, I'm sure our pups can enjoy their time together. 
I would love to bring your dogs on walks and run with them. I usually stay outdoors with Oreo for 3-4 hours a day, and sometimes, even more!!! So, if your dog has a high energy level, it is not a problem at all.
I have a fully fenced backyard so I can help work on potty training and they can get tons of exercise. I also live close to an off-leash forest where dogs can roam free and a dog park where they can play as well. However, a permit from the city is required to do so and obviously I have to feel comfortable enough with the dog. Also, the house i live in has 3 floors, which all the dogs have access to. 
I am aware that each dogs needs are different and therefore it is important for us to communicate. So, do not worry, I will make sure all their needs are fulfilled and give them lots of love and attention!!:) 
I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you and your furry friend(s)!

Bonjour, j'ai toujours aimé les chiens depuis que je suis jeune et maintenant j'ai une chienne qui s'appelle Oreo. Elle est un berger australien et c'est une boule d'énergie. C'est aussi la raison pour laquelle j'ai décidé de faire du gardiennage d'animaux ; elle adore les autres chiens. Je suis donc certaine que nos chiens apprécieront passer du temps ensemble. 

J'aimerais beaucoup emmener vos chiens en promenade et courir avec eux. Je reste généralement à l'extérieur avec Oreo pendant 3-4 heures par jour, et parfois même plus ! Donc, si votre chien a un niveau d'énergie élevé, ce n'est pas un problème du tout.

J'ai une cour arrière entièrement clôturée, ce qui me permet d'aider à l'apprentissage de la propreté et de faire faire des tonnes d'exercice à mon chien. J'habite également à proximité d'une forêt où les chiens peuvent se promener librement et d'un parc pour chiens où ils peuvent également jouer. Cependant, un permis de la ville est nécessaire pour le faire et je dois évidemment me sentir suffisamment à l'aise avec le chien. De plus, la maison dans laquelle je vis a 3 étages, auxquels tous les chiens ont accès. 

Je suis consciente que les besoins de chaque chien sont différents et qu'il est donc important que nous communiquions. Donc, ne vous inquiétez pas, je m'assurerai que tous leurs besoins sont satisfaits et je leur donnerai beaucoup d'amour et d'attention!! :) 

J'espère avoir le plaisir de vous rencontrer!

Je suis une personne chaleureuse, et j'adore les animaux. Ils occupent une place spéciale dans mon cœur, et j'ai la chance d'avoir un adorable chien que j'aime plus que tout.Lorsque je confie mon propre chien en pet-sitting, je comprends l'importance de le savoir entre de bonnes mains. C'est pourquoi je fais mon maximum pour être cette personne attentionnée pour tous les animaux que je prends sous ma garde.expériences de garde : 3 chiennes toutes pendant 1semaine, pet sitting que j'ai effectué pour mes amies J'aime beaucoup les chiens, certes, mais je suis aussi concerner par les chats et je serai ravie de leur apporter de la joie en les choyant et en veillant à ce qu'ils se sentent aimés et à l'aise pendant votre absence.

Je m'adapte à leurs besoins spécifiques et à vos préférences et leur bien-être est ma priorité.Malheureusement, mon appartement est trop petit pour accueillir plus d'un chien, mais je suis disponible pour venir à votre domicile pour prendre soin de vos précieux compagnons.

Je suis à l'aise pour administrer des médicaments si nécessaire.

They hold a special place in my heart, and I am fortunate to have a lovely dog whom I love more than anything.When I entrust my own dog to pet-sitting, I understand the importance of knowing that he is in good hands. That's why I do my utmost to be a caring person for all the animals I take under my care.Garde experiences: 3 female dogs, all for one week, pet-sitting I did for my friends I love dogs, of course, but I also care about cats, and I would be delighted to bring them joy by pampering them and ensuring they feel loved and comfortable during your absence.

I will be happy to respond, and I hope to get to know and take care of your four-legged companions!


I've been hopelessly obsessed with animals my whole life! I've never lived without dogs or cats, and never would!I offer dog walking and regular check-ins with dogs and other animals! I'll happily spend time cuddling and entertaining them on visits that can range from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your needs and our agreement. My availability is open in the daytime and most early evenings, other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. Weekends are open but subject to changes every once in a while!For close to a year I was an associate manager and pet care specialist at the PetSmart Petshotel. There I took all of my love and personal experience with dogs and cats and added industry training in things like behaviour assessment, lead training, comforting dogs in new environments, minor grooming, and more. The biggest thing I took away from that job was learning how to earn the trust of certain dogs that were particularly standoffish, or dogs that had a hard time trusting men because of traumatic pasts. I had amazing and affirming personal successes with dogs that tended to not trust any men besides me. A black lab named Lola and a mini poodle named Pearl were my biggest successes. I adored them both and, in the end, we were inseparable!I've dog sat and dog walked for friends, family, colleagues, and distant connections my whole life. I love spending time with animals, and now that I work in my actual field (communications) I don't get to see them in droves day in and day out the way I use to. And I miss them! My baby is an 12-year-old calico named Dany (short for Daenerys). I rescued her 8 years ago and I am hopelessly in love with the fluffy, chatty little nugget. Her favourite show is Pingu! I'm pleased to offer home visits to care for, play with, and walk your pets. My Dany takes a lot of time to warm up to animals, so I won't be offering any boarding for now. For walks, I'll heavily prefer one dog at a time. It's always much safer and secure to focus my attention on keeping one dog safe and ensuring they have the most fun and exercise! I'm happy to meet beforehand and discuss specifics and let your pets sniff me up and see if I pass their test!
