"Hadil stayed at our place for a week taking care of our disabled dog that uses a wheelchair and needs special care… being carried down the stairs, putting her in her wheelchair for her walks, expressing her bladder, etc. It was comforting to know that our dog was with Hadil. She is diligent, detail oriented, caring and made sure Smimou had all her special needs met. Thanks so much Hadil! "

"Tanya was FABULOUS, beyond expectations, and we will definitely book again.
Our pets are all senior citizens, with differing needs and medications, and Tanya was able to not only provide for their needs, but adapt and enjoy all the quirks of their differing personalities (and species), so they all had a marvellous time and a “pet holiday” themselves.
Our kitty is usually a “parent only” pet, and he spent the entire time hanging out with Tanya and the doggies while away. He even became a lap cat! That is super rare, and a beautiful sign of trust. When your animals tell you they are a great person, you know.
Tanya was also super bountiful with updates and photos and mini videos, and we really appreciated it, as we missed our furry family so much. We even got a virtual pet “Christmas card”!
Tanya was a last minute booking as the first one we had booked months earlier suddenly dropped out just days before we were to go overseas. Despite that, Tanya stepped up quickly and we were able to work out a schedule that worked for our family, which was so amazing. Definitely feel the universe was looking out for us here.
We selfishly almost don’t want to recommend Tanya to anyone else as she will get too popular and booked by others, but she is definitely a great petsitter and Housesitter.
I also checked several references, and they all echoed what I am saying.
Thanks for making our family holidays great for everyone in our family Tanya. Our pets have already voted they want extra visits, not only when we are away ❤️."

"I was so nervous leaving my elderly dog with a new person but won the jackpot with Kassandra. My dog has some health issues and Kassandra was so attentive and took great care of her while I was away. I would highly recommend Kassandra. She took great care of my girl which gave me piece of mind!"

"We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and conscientious pet-sitter. Marie-Agnes sent messages and pictures daily and ensured our pets were loved and well taken care of. When our return was unexpectedly delayed due to Hurricane Ian, Marie Agnes figured out a way to accommodate the schedule change and we returned to our happy fur family. "

"Ivonne is the best! I could tell right away when she arrived for the meet and greet that it would be a great situation. Our dogs loved her right from the start. One of our dogs is usually scared of strangers - but not with Ivonne! It was amazing to see. She just snuggled right up to Ivonne like she'd known her for her whole life. And then throughout our vacation Ivonne sent us updates and pictures/videos every day! You could tell our dogs were living the good life while we were gone. It was absolutely a vacation for them too. So much attention and play! Ivonne even worked with our pack and they had new skills to show off when we got home!! And to top it all off our house was spic and span when we returned. I could not recommend Ivonne more. She will give your pets the love they deserve and more."

"Giacomo spent 10 days house-sitting at our place to look after our dog and 3 cats while my husband and I were in Costa Rica. I was nervous since this was the first time I was leaving my dog to go on vacation since I’ve had him. Giacomo took such great care of our animals (even through a 4 day long power outage!) and constantly provided us with updates, videos and pictures. I was so relieved to have chosen such a thoughtful and caring sitter! As soon as we left, I knew my pets were in good hands.
We were also so pleased with the state of our house upon our return - just as clean as we had left it! You would have never guessed someone had been living in it for 10 days!
I would absolutely recommend Giacomo 1000% to anyone! I will be forever grateful to him for his excellent services :) "

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Ottawa home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Ottawa.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Ottawa home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
