“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”


About: I am a student at McMaster, and I absolutely love pets! I have been taking care of my family’s dog every month for the past 2 years, and I am a dependable dog and cat lover who is patient, responsible, and treats every pet with love and care. If you are looking for a fun, friendly and cuddly sitter to look after your furry friend, shoot me a message! I am a highly active person and would love going on long walks, runs or having outdoor time with your pet. I also have no problem with indoor quiet time for chilling and playing with your cuddly companion. While I am new to taking care of senior pets, I am always open to learning and am quick to pick up new responsibilities! I work on a hybrid schedule, so I am available for dog walks and pet drop-ins full-time on Monday and Friday, Tues-Thurs before 8 am/after 4 pm and boarding during the week and on full-time on weekends. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on the environment to ensure their safety during walks and playtime.

“Jamie was fantastic! She was there exactly when she said she would be and our pets were super happy. The photo we got of our dog walking was adorable and she followed all of our directions perfectly. Would definitely rebook.”


“Jessica was great! Our cat is a senior, and needs two insulin shots a day and Jessica was able to give him the extra attention he needs. Thanks Jessica! Will definitely book again with you🐱🐾”

About: I've had dogs and been around dogs and cats my whole life. For my family, I always had the responsibility of walking and feeding my dogs. Friends and family have frequently left their pets with me or I have taken care of them in their homes. Nothing makes me happier than caring for an animal and spending time with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule and am available most days, weeknights and weekends. I have quite a bit of room in my daily routine. I will keep to your pet's routines and follow all usual schedules, which will include feeding, outside breaks, playtime, walks and sleeping. I am also comfortable with elderly dogs and/or dogs that require medication to be administered. I will spend time with them and be there for lots of cuddles.

I can walk the dogs early in the morning, and after 3 pm every day, or take them for long walks if needed. I love exercise so would be perfect if you want your furry friends to run or lose weight. I can come to your house to pick up your dog for a walk. I can walk your pet on their routine route or go for a hike. I can reach your house either by bike or by bus, so I can't take your dog far away. However, I have a good physique so I can walk your dogs as long as they want :)

About: I understand that everyone loves their pets, but sometimes, life happens—work trips, vacations, or other commitments—and they have no choice but to be apart for a while. When my friends find themselves in those situations, I’m often the first person they think of. I’ve been helping my friends take care of their pets during their temporary absences since I was 18. I truly enjoy looking after and spending time with animals. One day, a friend of mine said to me, “You should do this professionally!” And I thought: why not? Every pet owner and their furry friends have moments when they need a little extra help. I work from home, which gives me a relatively flexible schedule. If there’s a specific need or timing requirement, I’m more than happy to arrange it in advance to ensure everything runs smoothly. Please don’t hesitate to discuss any special requests—I’ll do my best to accommodate them. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe and welcoming environment where they can feel at ease. I ensure they have access to clean water, food, and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. Additionally, I maintain a calm and consistent atmosphere that aligns with their usual routines, minimizing any stress they might feel in a new space. When looking after pets in a client’s home, I take extra care to follow their established routines and preferences to make sure the pets feel secure. I also prioritize maintaining the home as it was left, ensuring cleanliness and respect for the space. Regular updates, including photos of meals, playtime, and even those adorable nap moments, help keep pet owners connected and reassured while they’re away.
