Kirat Bajwa, your dog sitter
Meet your sitter

Hi, I’m Kirat 👋

I’m a lifelong dog lover, and I look after every pup like one of my own.

I started ForeverPaws to give dog owners in Ottawa, Kanata, Stittsville and the surrounding areas a sitter they can really trust. Someone who shows up, sends the photos, sticks to the routine, and gives your dog all the play and cuddles they’re used to. No handoffs, no strangers. Just me, and your dog.

  • Pet First Aid & CPR certified
  • Dog-only, undivided attention
  • Cage-free, in-home care
  • Flexible pick-up and drop-off
  • Meds and special diets welcome
  • Reliable and quick to reply
Happy tails

What dog parents are saying

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what local dog parents have to say.

“We couldn't be happier with Kirat and her husband. From the first time we met them, I felt completely comfortable leaving George with them, and when we picked him up, it was pretty obvious he'd had a great weekend. They genuinely seemed to enjoy having George around, and that means a lot to us. Kirat sent photos and updates while we were away, so we always knew he was happy and doing well. She was also very accommodating since we made the booking on fairly short notice. The biggest compliment I can give is that I will definitely leave George with them again without thinking twice.”

“Kirat and her husband took care of our pet Aadhi very well. They updated regularly with photos. They followed the care instructions. We will definitely use them again and again. Thank you Kirat.”

“Kirat treated Lupa like part of the family. Kirat was very responsive, providing regular updates. Would definitely book again.”

“Kirat was super responsive and helped us with a last minute boarding request. Not only did she help on short notice, she was WONDERFUL with Sadie. The kids loved following along with her stay through photos and Instagram posts. Kirat genuinely cared for Sadie like she was her own. Kirat will be the first place we look for boarding going forward. I can't recommend her enough!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kirat as Tuffy's dog sitter! Kirat was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Tuffy was in such good hands. Tuffy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Kirat also kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We would highly recommend Kirat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

Questions, answered

Yes, ForeverPaws is dog-only. That means Kirat's full attention, home and experience all go to dogs, so yours gets the best possible care.
Almost never. Care is built around your dog’s routine, with lots of company, play and rest. Any short errand is kept brief, and your dog stays safe and comfortable at home.
That is no problem at all. Once your dates are confirmed Kirat sends a short routine sheet where you can list any medication, doses and timing, and you can go over it again at the meet and greet. Medication, senior dogs, anxious pups and special diets are all welcome.
After your free meet and greet, Kirat confirms the final price. To hold your spot you pay a small deposit (25% of the total, or 50% on holidays) that comes off your balance. There are two ways to pay: Interac e-transfer to keerat.bajwa93@gmail.com (no card fee), or securely online by card. Your confirmation email carries the e-transfer address and the exact amount, so there is nothing to work out. Paying online also saves your card so the balance and any approved extra are one tap later, and Kirat always shares the amount before charging. Deposits are refundable up to 3 days before drop-off.
The sooner the better, since holidays and weekends fill up fast. That said, do reach out for last-minute care too. Kirat will always try to help.

It takes about a minute, there’s nothing to pay, and you’ll get a personal reply from Kirat, usually within a few hours, to set up a free meet and greet.
