“It is so nice to come back to Happy Cats. Kellin was kind and gentle to my fur babies. She took good care of them. Everything was done exactly how cats have them in their routine. Kellin communicates and updates very well.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs since I was a child. I'm very active, so they won't lack exercise. I'm currently studying to become a dog trainer. I can care for pets of all ages and adapt to their needs and those of their owners. I can administer medication if necessary. For now, I have time to care for pets every day of the week and on weekends. Write to me so we can work out a schedule. I have a house where I can take them in. There are no other dogs in case they are reactive. They will receive exercise, affection, medication if necessary, and mental and physical stimulation.
“New to Rover and very new to having someone I don’t personally know care for my cats while away. Jocelyn made the full process comfortable and safe. It made being away easier with receiving constant updates and pictures. Thank you so much for your kind and loving care. Highly recommend Jocelyn.”
“Sheila provided us with superior service. Her communication and attentiveness were beyond our expectations. While away, we truly appreciated all feedback and pictures of our pet. Sheila made us feel worry-free and her care was evident in how happy our cat was upon our return.”
“We had an amazing experience with Yvonne! It was the first time we ever left our cat alone, and she made the whole experience stress-free and reassuring. She sent detailed updates, including photos and thoughtful notes that really showed how much care and attention she gave. Knowing he was in good hands made all the difference. I could tell he was calm, happy, and well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter for their pets!”
“Riley has been an amazing help with my small families life changes. She's flexible, punctual, and great at assisting using this app for us less tech savvy. Clearly has a big heart for the furry ones. Provides lots of details with pics every visit. I would recommend to anyone!”
About: I am a caring responsible pet lover, I will enjoy & treat your pet like it was my own :) I can offer cuddles, love, and kindness. I look forward to meeting you & your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule, I can work from home if needed. Often I am in and out of the house. Family is mostly out during the day time - quiet environment. No young children home I am your local neighbour (Live & work in Ancaster) and can offer you safety and security of your home and your beautiful fur-babies.

About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!
“Kirstyn did a great job taking care of our two kitties and administering our cat’s medication. The pictures and updates were really appreciated, and our cats seemed to be less stressed after us being away for two nights. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have lived with cats my entire life. I always wanted to add a dog to our family growing up but it wasn’t possible at the time. So as soon as I was able, I started fostering dogs. I absolutely adore animals and I can’t wait to meet your pets. Pet care is my current full time job during my university summer break. I am available in the GTA from April to August at any time. I understand that every pet is different and has different needs. I look forward to hearing from you as the owner the best way to take care of your pet.
About: I’m an Animal Care Attendant at the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA with years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I’m well-versed in medicating, handling, and understanding animal behavior, and I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’ve studied dog behavior and training, and I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and always excited to build relationships with new dogs. In my free time, I love training my own dog in off-leash reliability, obedience, and agility—it’s one of my favorite ways to connect and grow with animals. I’m also a marathoner and long distance runner and would love to run and tire out some super high energy dogs! I am also knowledgeable in canine first aid and basic grooming and bathing. I’m currently a graduate student, working part time at the HBSPCA. I would love to create meaningful relationships and provide your dog(s) with enrichment throughout the week! I have a dog of my own and enjoy daily hikes with him. He is a goofy, high energy golden retriever. I have experience with all types of walking aids such as head halters, harnesses, prong collars, e-collars, etc. I’m also able to give updates and photos during the walk! I can provide structured walks, enrichment walks or long-line fun. Let me know your preferences! I also provide in home pet care upon request so your pup is comfortable when you’re away!:)

I try my best to make all animals as happy as they make me!
“This was the third time Amber has cared for our two cats while we were out of town, and once again, she did an amazing job. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed just how well our cats were being looked after. It's always such a relief knowing they're in great hands — and coming home to happy, relaxed cats is the best feeling. We’ll definitely continue using Amber’s services and highly recommend her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ancaster
Holly was great with my two cats during her drop-in visits! They’re usually pretty shy around new people, but they came out to greet her quickly. She was communicative and kept me updated, and I was confident they were being well taken care of. I came home to peaceful happy cats after my time away. I’d definitely book with her again!
