"Desiree took great care of Nova and Mr. Tom. She was flexible, reliable, and responsive to my communications, which I truly appreciated. She asked questions when there was any uncertainty and went the extra step to make sure everything was done right. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were in such responsible and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Desiree and would gladly book her again."

"We came back from a 2-week trip to find our home in perfect order and our two cats calm and happy. We received regular updates with videos of dinners and playtime, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were cared for with lots of attention and love. Highly recommend!"

"Cindy stayed at our home for 10 nights while we were away on holiday. We had booked Cindy twice before to stay with our old dog, Toby. This time Cindy stayed at our house and looked after Toby and our son's young dog, Parker. We couldn't be more pleased with the result! Cindy is so flexible, punctual, and reliable, she communicated with us each day (including pics of the 2 dogs) and made our holiday truly peaceful knowing both dogs were in such great hands. We have nothing but high praise and gratitude for this fantastic dog/house sitter! Joanne"

"My only hesitation in leaving a glowing review for Lisa is that she may be booked when we next need her for Sunga & Gus! All joking aside, Lisa is pleasant, reliable and our dogs took to her instantly. One of our dogs can be reactive with other dogs and the other has a strong prey drive (squirrel!!!) and she managed walks and outings with aplomb. She also gave them their monthly heartworm (etc.) pills easily (something we struggle with but will use her tips!). They've returned home happy and content. We also appreciated the updates/photos while we were away. A reliable dog sitter such as Lisa is a treasure and I would recommend her strongly."

"Melanie was amazing at accepting my last minute house sitting request. She took great care of my cat Jordyn and kept me updated with lots of pictures every day. During my time away from Jordyn, I was comfortable knowing that Melanie was taking good care of her. I am looking forward to having her take care of Jordyn again in the future when I have to leave town."

"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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Ottawa on Pawshake. Over 532 pet owners in Ottawa have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
