About: I am a dog-adorer! I have always had 4 legged family members because I grew up with dogs. My family has always been the designated neighborhood 'vet' for all pets. I currently work from home and have a great deal of flexibility. I can structure my days to fit around play and potty schedules to keep your pet on a routine. I know that dogs crave stability and I can fill in to provide that safety net to maintain that routine I have years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages and sizes. As a result I am able to understand body language an various stages of a dog's life and prioritize those needs.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.
“Nora was amazing. She is super friendly and you can tell she has a deep care & love for animals. She sent lots of pics, communicated well and even used common sense like topping up their dry food and water etc where others haven't. I will definitely be using her services again! My skiddish kitty even came out to spend time with her the first night which usually never happens! Thanks again Nora!!!”

“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, as our dogs have always stayed at a kennel. But due to an unexpected emergency surgery for our female American Bully right before our international trip, we had no choice but to find in‑home care. I was nervous, to say the least — two 100‑lb bullies, one recovering from surgery with sutures still in, and five days out of the country. Rachel was everything we hoped for and more. She stayed in our home and cared for both of our pups with an incredible level of attention, patience, and genuine affection. Our girl needed extra monitoring to make sure she didn’t run, jump, or get too excited, and Rachel handled her recovery with such calm, thoughtful care that I felt completely at ease. I received daily updates and photos — not just quick snapshots, but real moments of our dogs looking relaxed, happy, and completely comfortable with her. Whether they were resting with their heads in her lap or enjoying treats she thoughtfully purchased (with my permission), it was clear they adored her. Traveling while your pet is recovering from surgery is stressful, but Rachel made it possible for us to enjoy our trip without constant worry. She treated our dogs like her own, respected our home, and went above and beyond in every way. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring, Rachel is the one you want watching your pets.”
“Ife is as great with our boy blue!!! Attention to our details for handling blue and our place went well! So happy to find him and look forward to booking again. Finally someone who gets our boy and attentive to our wishes. Thank you Ife!”
“Jennifer was incredible. Ninja is an anxious cat who needs lots of attention, and she went above and beyond in making sure he felt safe and content. Communication was excellent, with lots of adorable photo updates. We came home to a happy cat, clean home and a sweet note! We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Alex was amazing with our Luna! We felt so comfortable and confident leaving Luna with Alex and they had such a good time together! She took such good care of Luna, we couldn’t be more thankful!”

About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. I have a fenced yard and a safe, comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable.
About: I grew up on a farm with tons of animals in Port Hope🐑! So I have lots of experience with pet care and livestock. I have also been dog walking and pet sitting for 5 years outside of Rover. I’ve cared for many senior dogs, and have a lot of experience with different energy level breeds. (For boarding I will only take small dogs under 40lbs) I’m still in school, but I’m free after 12PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends. Please message me so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pet :) For pet sitting, I am super detail oriented and personally feed my cat raw, so I can be trusted with home-made food and commercial. As I have a very anxious cat, I prefer to not pet sit at my house.
“Tasha really takes the time to get to know your dogs and give them what they need. We were totally comfortable that she was taking the best care of our babies. She communicates and keeps you updated”

“Michelle was amazing taking care of our 2 digs and 2!cats, day and night for 7 days. She is a natural with animals and a lovely person that we trusted with our home as well as pets. Thank you Michelle!”
“We recently hired Jahzara to care for our dogs while we were away, and she was fantastic! She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand to learn things about their routines , and we received regular updates and photos during our trip. Our dogs were happy and relaxed, which showed how well she cared for them. I highly recommend Jahzara for anyone needing a reliable pet sitter”
“Claudia and Ken took wonderful care of Bruno at our home while we were away on a short family trip. We returned to a happy, well-loved pup—and it’s all thanks to their attentive and loving care. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos; they gave us such peace of mind knowing Bruno was in great hands. They spent quality time with him, keeping him cheerful and engaged, which means the world to us. We’re so grateful for their professionalism and kindnes.”
“We hired Shenley to watch our fur babies while we were away getting married. It was so nice to not have to worry about them and just be able to focus on our day knowing that they were in great hands. We did a meet and greet with Shenley a couple weeks before her stay and her passion for animals was very apparent. She instantly clicked with our babies, giving them their own space and time to familiarize themselves with her. She read our pet guide and was ready to handle their uniqueness. She shared photos with us and answered our texts quickly too. We never for a second felt uneasy during our time away because we knew they were being loved and cared for. That meant the world to us during such a busy and special time. We all hope to see more of Shenley soon 😊”
“Bronte was patient with our high anxiety dog and took the time to get to know her prior to sitting. She is very calm and gentle. She let us know our dog was fine and sent an update. I would recommend her!”
“Richelle was fantastic with our dog, Sophie. We had a family emergency and needed a dog sitter on a very short notice. Rochelle came to meet us and Sophie at the same day and did an amazing job looking after our senior pup the next day. Sent updates, photos and came up with all kind of tricks to feed our picky eater. We really appreciate your help, Richelle!”

Robyn was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog, Grady. From the very first interaction, her communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and thoughtful — which immediately put us at ease. She was always punctual and incredibly reliable, and it was obvious how genuinely kind and caring she is with animals. Grady absolutely adored her! It’s clear Robyn has a natural connection with dogs and really takes the time to understand their personalities and needs. Knowing he was so comfortable and happy with her meant the world to us. On top of everything, Robyn completely surprised us with a beautiful hand-drawn portrait of Grady. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that truly went above and beyond anything we expected. If you’re considering booking Robyn, don’t hesitate — she is wonderful. She is trustworthy, communicative, caring, and clearly passionate about the dogs she looks after. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful! They treated our dog like one of their own and made sure she was so well cared for. We got regular updates and tons of cute pictures, which I loved. I’d definitely have Lauren watch her again and totally recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable dog sitter
