Top cities for house sitting in Canada

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.

As a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter, my motivation stems from a profound love for animals. Growing up surrounded by various pets, including my beloved Kilo and Coco. I developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and the joy they bring to our lives. My goal as a pet sitter is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for your furry friends when you can't be there.

With prior experience in pet sitting, I have honed my skills in handling diverse breeds and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or administering medication, I approach each responsibility with diligence and care. I believe in maintaining open communication with pet owners to ensure their peace of mind, providing regular updates on their beloved companions.

My services extend beyond the basic necessities, offering genuine companionship and updating you daily with pictures and videos. Your trust is paramount, and I am committed to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Choose me as your pet sitter, and rest assured that your cherished pets will receive the attention and affection they deserve in your absence.

Drop the leash and relax, while I take care of your furry friends!
Service available near Barrhaven, Napean in Ottawa region.
Be it cats or dogs I ensure that they have their food, walk at regular intervals and make sure they are clean and enjoy their time. Feel free to contact me if there are any queries regarding the list of services provided. 
I strive to provide quality care for all pets, and our sitters are trained to ensure that each animal’s needs are met. For dogs, I will feed them three times a day and take them for multiple walks throughout the day. They will also provide playtime activities such as fetch and tug-of-war with toys. Additionally, I will ensure that each dog has access to its scratching post if necessary. The same level of care is provided for cats as well; I make sure they have fresh food at all times as well as clean litter boxes.I also go above and beyond by providing owners with a detailed care plan which outlines the services that were provided during each visit so they can rest assured knowing their pets were in good hands during their absence period.
Can't wait to meet your furry friends and looking forward to have a quality time spent with your pets soon with flexible services tailored based on your demands.

Hi there! My name is Karen. I am a bilingual, flexible, dedicated, calm animal lover located in Fallingbrook, Orleans. I've had and cared for animals my whole life. I live in a house with my 5 year old shih-poo who I fostered through an animal rescue organization and then adopted. She's very sociable and loves to have friends to play with. She's the love of my life!
Whether you need care for your pet for a day, a weekend or for a few weeks, I will care for your pet(s) as if it was my own. They will get to live in a calm environment where southing music often plays and will get plenty of love, hugs and kisses. They'll have the choice to sleep with me or pick their own spot or bedroom as I have 2 extra bedrooms.  Pets in my care must be fully vaccinated and friendly with other animals.
I've got a small fully fenced yard and live close to a huge park which is where I bring the dogs for daily walks. 
I offer pick up and drop-offs in addition to boarding, day care and house sitting.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or inquiries!

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend.
Kindest regards,
Karen

Salut à toutes et tous!
Je suis Laura. J'ai 27 ans et je suis une jeune professionnelle. J'habite à Hull avec mon conjoint depuis 2018 et nous partageons notre appartement avec nos deux chats: Archie et Cléo. Les deux ont été adoptés à la SPCA où je fais du bénévolat chaque samedi.
Je peux vous dire que je comprends le sentiment de s'en aller et d'être inquiet(e) pour le bien-être et la compagnie de nos poilus, donc je peux vous assurer que je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme s'ils étaient les miens.
Je suis une fille très responsable, professionnelle et fiable et j'ai déjà fait du pet sitting avant, donc si vous avez besoin d'aide avec votre animal, vous pouvez me faire confiance... Je serai là pour lui et pour vous!
Je vous offre les services de 'home visiting' et 'dog walking'. Je peux faire une ou deux visites selon leurs besoins. Pendant la visite des chats, je donne de la nourriture, je joue avec eux, je les brosse et je nettoie les litières. Mes visites sont d'environ 45mins. Pour les chiens, je donne de la nourriture, je sors avec eux pendant 30-45min et je m'assure qu'ils ont dépensé assez d'énergie pour rentrer à la maison. Pour vous assurer que tout se passe bien, je vais également vous envoyer des photos et/ou des vidéos de vos animaux à chaque visite.
Je suis habituellement disponible pour les visites tous les jours de la semaine. De lundi à vendredi, je suis disponible vers midi ou après 16h30. Pendant la fin de semaine, mon horaire est trés flexible.
J'ai une voiture donc je peux me déplacer facilement à Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau et Ottawa. Si la distance est plus longue que 10km, je dois vous demander quelques dollars de plus!
Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à m'écrire. J'ai hâte de rencontrer vos animaux!
Laura

Hello everyone,
I am Laura. I am a young professional. I live in Hull with my partner since 2018 and we share our apartment with our two cats: Archie and Cleo. We adopted them both at the SPCA where I volunteer every Saturday.
&nbsp;
I can tell you that I understand the feeling of going away and being worried about the well-being and company of our pets. So, I can assure you that I will take care of them as if they were my own. I am very responsible, professional and reliable. I have experience in 'pet sitting' so, you can trust me... I will be there for your pets and for you!
Regarding my services, I offer 'home visits' and 'dog walkings'. I can visit them once or twice per day depending on their needs. During the cats' visits, I give them food, play with them, brush them and clean their litters. My visits are about 45 mins long. For the dog visits and walks, I give them food, walk with them for about 30-45 mins and I assure myself that they have spent a good amount of energy before we go back to the house. If you would like to confirm that everything is going well, I can send you pictures and/or videos of your animals in every visit.
I am usually avalaible everyday of the week. From Monday to Friday, I could visit your pets around midday and after 4:30pm. During the weekend, I have a flexible schedule.
I have a car so it's easy for me to reach Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau and Ottawa. If you are a bit far (10km or more), I am going to kindly ask you for some extra bucks!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me! I am looking forward to meeting your pet.
Laura


As a lifelong dog enthusiast, my passion for our four-legged friends runs deep, motivating me to become a pet sitter. Dogs bring me unparalleled happiness and a profound sense of companionship, enriching my life in countless ways. Since childhood, I've shared an indelible bond with dogs, fostering a connection that has shaped my entire existence.
My wife Dennys and I have the privilege of caring for dogs together, relishing the joy they bring and the comfort they provide. Living with Dennys, who shares my deep affection for dogs, ensures a nurturing and welcoming environment for every furry guest. She loves walking and playing with dogs, making each day an adventure for our canine companions.
We have a dog, Missy, whom we adopted at just three months old. Missy embodies the qualities of quietude, love, and affection that we cherish in all canine companions. Walking and playing with dogs isn't just a pastime for us; it's a source of genuine fulfillment and joy.
What motivates us to be pet sitters is the opportunity to extend the same level of care, love, and companionship to other dogs that we provide to Missy. Knowing that we can make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners fills us with a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Your buddy will be treated with the utmost attention, affection, and care, ensuring a happy and fulfilling stay in our loving home. Thank you for considering our profile. We look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your cherished furry friend.&nbsp;


I have been professionally caring for animals for two years, but I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and even farm animals. My experience spans from young puppies to senior animals, providing attentive and reliable care tailored to their needs.

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as a student at Algonquin College and part-time swimming coach for children. My flexible schedule allows me ample time to play, walk, and pamper pets. I prioritize engaging with them daily, ensuring they receive plenty of attention and love while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, allowing me to ensure their pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. This setup enables me to stay overnight or for several days, giving the pets continuous companionship and care. I focus on maintaining their routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, ensuring they receive plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. This approach helps reduce their stress and keeps them happy and secure.

I engage pets with fun activities like long walks, fetch games for dogs, and interactive playtime for cats. I ensure each pet enjoys personalized attention and care.

It’s important to know pets' health needs, routines, behavior, preferences, and emergency contacts ahead of time to ensure their comfort and safety during pet care services.

Available in the following areas: Riverside South, Glebe, Downtown, Nepean, near Algonquin College.
