“Thank you so much Carol! First time using rover and I am very pleased. I needed to be away from home all day and Carol provided my babies with a walk. When I received the notification that she had arrived to walk them as well as the pictures of them after returning from the walk I felt at ease. I was able to enjoy the rest of my day without having to rush back home. My doggies really appreciated the bath room break and walk. Will definitely use Carols services again.”
About: Having dogs and cats at a young age and taking care of them and loving them has inspired and motivated me to take this great opportunity on Rover to care for others with attentiveness, kindness, and patience. My availability is only open to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as I am currently busy with another job. I am available on those days from 10 am to 7 pm. In my home I have cared for my pets by walking them regularly, feeding them, and cleaning any messes in the house from any incidents. I do these all with care, love, attentiveness, and patience and strive to give that kind of care to your pets.
“Emily was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of Addy. Everything went smoothly, and I could tell Addy was well looked after. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Every pet deserves a cool aunt: fun enough to keep things exciting, but organized enough to keep routines and bedtime strictly on schedule. With 16 years of hands-on care for friends, family, and neighbours, your animals get 100% of my dedicated attention, affection, and spoiling. I show up when things are tough and have experience in caring for pets of all ages and needs. You can expect patient, adaptable care tailored to their quirks, from brisk outdoor treks to quiet couch hangs, all backed by a keen eye for logistics, a reliable hatchback, timely photo updates, and complete peace of mind. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a reliable dinner-and-playtime drop-in, or just a calm human to keep them company while you’re gone, I’ve got them (and you!) covered. Fur, fins, feathers, and scales welcome! I work from home and have predictable, dedicated blocks open for pet care every day. Hire me and you'll get the dependability of someone with an established routine, paired with the flexibility to cover your pet’s needs: - Weekdays: 5:00 AM to noon and then anytime after 3:00 PM - Saturdays: Fully open for weekend hangs and adventures. - Sundays: Available 5:00 AM to 3PM (From now until early November 2026, Sunday after 3:00 PM are strictly reserved for theatrical clowning -- literally, no jokes). I provide care exclusively in your pet’s territory so their comfort and security are my top priorities. My goal is simple: your pet stays happy and stress-free in their own routine, and you come back to a home that is just as clean, and peaceful as you left it.
About: I aspire to make sure our pets receive the love and care they deserve. I have been taking care of pets since I was an early teen and enjoy going on walks with them and make sure that they are never bored while their family is away. I just finished getting my bachelors in landscape architecture from the University of Guelph and would like to exercise my free will and start engaging with animals as frequently as I can. I go on walks daily with my dog and think it would be so much fun to bring another buddy along with her. I will ensure that your pet(s) is feeling right at home and mimic the routine you best prefer for your animal, as well as provide enough attention and activity for health benefits.
About: My sons and I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for pets. They’ve helped care for their dad’s German Shepherd, and we also raised our own beloved dachshund named Marshall, who lived to be 17 years old. As he got older, my sons were especially gentle, taking him on slow, easy walks to keep him comfortable. Our home is filled with kindness, attentiveness, and care, and your dog will be welcomed into a loving family environment with me and my two sons, aged 10 and 14. I’m currently available any day or night of the week. I can take your dog out for walks by the water in the morning and evening, and my sons can provide additional walks in the neighbourhood. I’m happy to accommodate dog-sitting or walking needs with advance notice. Whether you need regular weekend care or occasional support, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they need! Our home is a safe, loving environment, perfect for pets who need a little extra comfort while their owners are away. We have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. If crating is part of their routine, I’m happy to help—just bring along their crate. My two sons and I will be here to give your dog lots of companionship and play, so they’ll never feel alone or anxious. We’re a family that’s kind, gentle, and dedicated to making pets feel understood, loved, and right at home.
About: Hi! I’m Jahzara 😊 I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, where I’ve gained valuable skills in animal care, behavior, and monitoring health. I’ve cared for a variety of pets through Rover and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or companionship, I always aim to provide a calm, attentive, and safe environment — especially for pets who may be shy or very bonded to their families. At the moment, my schedule can vary due to work commitments, so I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and care they deserve. I’m always happy to communicate and find something that works when possible! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets 🐾 I currently work in an animal hospital and have a busy schedule, so my availability can vary week to week. I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can provide reliable and attentive care for each pet. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! The specific tasks and level of care will depend on the pet's individual needs and the services provided, but typically include feeding, grooming, exercise, health monitoring and companionship.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs between the ages 6-19. I love all animals especially dogs, I've taken care of up to 3 dogs at once, I've taken care of birds and cats. For dogs I can and have, brushed teeth, gave baths and trimmed nails etc.. I am currently between jobs, therefore I have open availability any day and any time of the week.

“Our little guy absolutely loves his walks with Denell. He waits by the window for her and gets so excited when she arrives. Denell is a great and prompt communicator and has been very accommodating with our schedule and needs.”
“If you are reading through reviews wondering who you should book, please book Keyana! She was great, very helpful. Last minute booking. Very pleasant. I was happy so was puppy! Thank you so much Keyana!”
“Huge thanks to Yogita and Dibakar for taking such wonderful care of our pet over the past 5 days. They were extremely patient, caring, and highly professional throughout. They paid attention to every single detail we shared and followed everything perfectly. Their punctuality and genuine love for animals really stood out. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care!”
“Ife genuinely likes dogs and has been a really good job at being patient with my dog Phoenix who can be a bit standoffish at first. Responsible, quick to get back to me and my dogs were happy!”
“I can't describe how full my heart is for the time and care Malik gave our Tyson. Malik went out of his way to make sure Tyson enjoyed his walks. To say Malik went above and beyond to provide our pup with love and company would be an understatement. Malik communicated with me throughout the process, he took the time to really learn Tyson's habits, likes, dislikes, and even thresholds before the walks. I'd absolutely recommend/rebook Malik... so would Tyson!!!”
“Darwin has been WONDERFUL with Bourbon and Bonzo! He genuinely cares for them, shows them love, guides them patiently! We have booked him for weekly walks and highly recommend Darwin to take care of your loved ones!! Thanks Darwin for all you do!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ajax
Stacey was fantastic with our dog, Chloe! She did a meet and greet with us on Monday and walked Chloe from Monday through Wednesday. Stacey was friendly and professional. She did a great job getting her ready for her walk Monday even though Chloe was VERY excited and energetic to meet her. We really appreciated the updates and photos through the Rover app—it was clear Chloe was having a great time on her walks. Communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the care Stacey provided.
Carol has been absolutely amazing with Roger! Always reliable, caring, and treats my dog like their own. I can tell my boy is happy and well-exercised after every walk. I truly appreciate the care and attention Carol gives — Always go above and beyond — from sending updates and pictures to making sure Roger is happy and safe with much love. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in caring hands. Thank you Carol always ❤️
