About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of pets and animals of all kinds ever since I was a teenager who wanted to be a vet (I’m not!). I’ve worked in a vet clinic, boarding facility and on a horse farm. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have a soft spot for senior fur-friends. I’m comfortable giving meds, grooming and with other special needs. I typically work from home one day during the week and am close enough to come home during the day at lunch for outside breaks. We live on a couple of acres and have a 6 year old, extremely friendly, lab and 2 year old cat at home. The yard is not fenced, so it would be leash walks for any visitors. Depending on the comfort level and habits of the dog, visiting fur-friends would be crated when no one is home.
“Michelle has dog sat my dog twice and I would use her service again! She sent me a few pictures and videos, and I’m sure she would send more if requested. She always replies quickly to messages too. Her home is very clean. :) definitely recommend”
“Our boy Blue loved his recent stay with Andrea! She was so good with him and provided updates and photos for us during his stay, which eased my worry as it was his first time there. Thanks so much Andrea and Blue looks forward to his next stay with you! 🩵🐾”

About: I live in Beautiful Memramcook and own 2 goldendoodles age 5 and 6. I have owned dogs all my life and I am now in my 40's. I can care for puppies to senior dogs. I have a large property ideal for play and on leash walks or off leash if your dog is obediant. I am home all day so dogs will have on site supervision. I am home everday. I can care for your dog like it was at home with its loving pawrents. My 2 dogs are very friendly and well mannered. I can crate your dog at night if you wish or they can sleep freely anywhere in the house. For the moment I have a tie down in the backyard and will be adding a kennel in the near futur. I am home so dogs will not be left unsupervised.
“Our pup was under excellent care with Christina and Dale. Usually a bit shy, she immediately made new friends and we had no worries when we left. They stayed in touch with photos while we were away. Your pet will get lots of walks and affectionate attention at this house. Highly recommended. A big thank you from us and Mars.”
“On super short notice Kristina happily took Zuki in for an overnight stay. We moved from Ontario just a year and a half ago and since moving we have not had a proper dog sitter for our 2 year old dog. Knowing his very rambunctious nature and his separation anxiety, Kristina handled him so well. I could not be happier to have found her here on rover. I will 100% be using her anytime we need a dog sitter. Zuki was returned happy, fed, and so calm for the car ride home. I give my highest recommendation to anyone thinking of using her services!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born but not until 2010 when my own family gained our current dog did I really learn how to bond in a dog’s way. For the first 6 months of her life I spent almost every moment with her, watching her grow and learn and teach me how canines worked. I love them unconditionally and receive that love in return. I am a natural alpha and dogs sense that. Our cat is free spirited and comes and goes as she pleases. She can handle herself around dogs. Her and I have a special relationship and she thinks she’s a dog with our own girl helping raise her. Having animals in my life gives me all this experience and confidence to be able to help you on your journey knowing your beloved furry family members are well looked after. I will show your pets of any age love in the same way as I would with my own.

About: I've been looking after my friends and family pets for many years now. Being a cat mom myself, leaving my babies alone at home is a huge stress, gut-wrenching feeling and I am sure it's the same for you. I will gladly take this burden off your shoulders and provide the love and care every single pet needs and more... got to get some cuddles in for myself too 😉 I've been passionate about animals all my life, having multiple pets of different species at my side since I was a baby. I know how to give medical treatment and I've also trained all of them so I'm comfortable with behavior problems/agression. There is no cat that I could not cut their nails and I've had pretty challenging kitties 😁 If you need to chat first don't hesitate to reach out, I'll gladly answer all your questions. Thank you 😊 Working in schools, I get the summer off. I'm able to provide more quality time for your pets per every visit any day of the week. I take care of all my babies as if they were humans. Healthy feeding, quality time, yearly visit to vet, emergency vet visit, medications and much more

“Jessica was a great doggy host, she treated our golden like one of her own and sent lots of updates. It was our first time using Rover and it was such an amazing experience. Thank you so much Jessica, Billie is exhausted from all the puppy play”

About: With 10+ years of personal animal care experience ranging from everything to dogs and cats all the way to farm animals and whole rabbitries I've been apart of it all! My childhood years were spent looking after dogs, cats, frogs, fish, hamsters, rabbits and just about everything else! My work keeps me flexible throughout the week with Tuesday and Friday nights from 7-9pm and Sundays from 9am to 1pm being my only for sure "away" hours. During the days I'm able to do a lot of work from home to keep your dog company and have a 2024 Chevy Trax SUV in which I can transport and do FREE pickups with 24hr advance notice. I live on a 15 acre country farm property that includes a 1km wooded backyard walking trail and a spacious fenced (electric) backyard homed to our friendly resident goats 🐐My house is a small one bedroom cottage house but perfect to host one large dog or two medium sized! All dogs will remain on leash unless specified otherwise from owner.
About: We have grown up around dogs our whole life. We have had years of experience taking care of dogs with all sorts of temperaments and activity levels. As shift workers we definitely prioritize our animals and ensure they have ample play time and potty breaks. Our dogs receive a minimum of 1 hr of physical exercise per day. As the days get warmer we spend the majority of the day outside. Our availability reflects the days we are off of work and can spend the entire day caring for your pups! We have two sheepdog/border collie mix dogs who are very active and are very welcoming to any new animal that comes into our home! We will separate all animals for meal times to avoid any issues with food guarding. All dogs will have the ability to roam around the house and our fenced yard freely with supervision.
