About: I have a background as a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for animals in a clinical setting, including monitoring health, feeding, cleaning, and administering medications. I’ve also grown up in a home with 3+ pets at all times, so I’m very comfortable with busy, multi-pet households. I’m confident with pets of all temperaments and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. My background helps me notice small changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet is always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently in my exam season for university so my schedule is a little all over the place. As of right now I’m free throughout the week depending on what days I have an exam. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. With my veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident monitoring health, recognizing any changes in behavior, and administering medications if needed. Whether it’s energetic playtime or calm companionship, I adapt my care to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“My first impression was a good one she made me feel comfortable as I can tell that her love for animals was genuine she's sent photos of my cats and even my cockatiel which she didn't have to which made me feel relaxed keeping me well updated through her visits. This was my first time using Rover and will seek her service again if I need it. I would highly recommend Lisa....she's awesome!!!”

About: For 13 years, my dog Lyric was a cherished part of my family, and caring for him taught me patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. I also care for my cat, Lily, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide gentle, attentive care and treat every animal like family. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work two jobs, one of which is as a supply teacher during the school day, which means I have my evenings and weekends fully available. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care with plenty of time for walks, check-ins, play, and companionship, while maintaining a consistent and dependable routine for your pet. I provide care for pets in their own home, as well as during walks and drop-in visits. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on maintaining their usual routines, feeding schedules, and walking habits. During check-ins and walks, I give each pet my full attention, ensuring they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. I treat every home and pet with respect, reliability, and genuine care, so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away.

“We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as our cat sitter! She is truly amazing — caring, reliable, and incredibly loving with our two boys. Every time we go away, we have full peace of mind knowing they’re in the best hands. Morgan goes above and beyond, always sending us the sweetest updates and photos, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats our cats like her own. We couldn’t ask for better care. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”

“Samantha is a totally responsible dependable person, and from the photographs it looked like Dolly Nefertiti, my cat, was falling in love with her given those googly eyes...which she does not do for everyone. Thank you Samantha.”

About: I recently survived puppyhood with my 1 year old dog and it’s been such a blast. I’ve had so much fun helping him learn and discover the world around him while also adjusting to being a new pet parent. I love caring for and being around dogs! I strive to always give my furry friends the best care possible. I often dogsit for my siblings and want to branch out to dog walking and dog sitting. I promise to give your dog the best care possible and to treat them as my own. I work shift work, so my schedule is irregular and rotates. I can be accommodating towards different schedules and have wide availability when I have my days off. I have a fenced yard and a puppy who loves to play, so your dog will have tons of stimulation. I always ensure my puppy has a safe environment to play.

“As a first time Rover user I was nervous leaving my dog with a stranger and Alysha was fantastic! She was great at communicating before and during the booking and my dog looked so happy in the photos she sent. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Des and Michelle were wonderful! They were punctual and took the time not only to feed the cats and clean the litter box, but also to play with them and earn their trust. They always sent detailed updates and photos, so I could enjoy my camping trip with peace of mind knowing my cats were in safe hands. I would happily recommend them to anyone in the neighbourhood.”

About: Hi, My name is Ariana, I always grew up around BIG dogs and when I was around 11 I started dog sitting and dog walking for neighborhood dogs. Over the last few years I have become close friends with a dog trainers and although I myself am not a trainer, due to learning from them over the years I have been mainly taught how to interact with dogs from trainers. I love an easy dog however, I am able to handle more complicated dogs due to my personal experience with traumatized rescues, reactive dogs and big dogs. Dogs in my life; I grew up with a lot of bigger dogs [think mostly rottweilers, dobermans and shepherds] and in 2015 my secondary family home got a Bernese Mountain Dog and I lived with 3 big dogs [Lab/Rottie/Shepherd, Ridgeback/Mastiff, Cane Corso/Boerboel/Boxer] for 5 years, a 2yo XL dog rescue who is very heavily trained and I was the primary pet sitter for him and walk him regularly, I have taken him overnight, longest straight care period was a week with daily training sessions and walks. Most of my experience is with dogs around 80-100lbs however I do have experience with smaller dogs! Skills and experience; I have a lot of experience with dogs who have more structure and training, so I will be able to keep up your training and have the confidence if your dog is more complex and reactive. I am able to keep up any training shown to me and ensure your dog has the same style structure and stability from me as they do from you, so the specific skills and commands will of course be different per client. However my personal base standard for structure/training when I have the dogs in my personal life in my care would be as follows; your standard commands [such as sit, lay down, stay, paw, etc], basic door manners [no crowding doors, if leaving to go outside sitting and waiting for a 'free' command to avoid door rushing, no jumping on the door], structured walking manners [walking at pace/no pulling, sitting before crossing roads, ignoring/no barking at other dogs or people]. Then in my home there is no animals on beds, or couch unless earned [listening to me and if they don't couch privileges are removed for time being]. I currently freelance so my schedule is quite open and flexible. Due to that, I have an odd schedule, so I am generally able to organize things around your visit. Due to my fairly flexible schedule I am able to ensure your dog is able to be let out pretty much at any time since there are no restrictions keeping me in one spot for any extended period of time. In my Home; Available upon request; my house is not fully set up for a dog so you would need to provide crate, bed, fav toys, food, etc. I have bowls, some treats (although please provide if they have any treat restrictions) and a basic leash as well as poop bags and such. My yard is not fully fenced however there are grassy areas, lots of trails and parks to go to. I will never bring your dog to a dog park unless it’s empty as I believe they often create behavioural issues and don’t feel comfortable in that environment. If your dog likes long walks or hikes I’m more then happy to take them on some of the beautiful trails around my house to get some energy out! In your Home; I will sit outside and supervise your dog at all times for potty breaks and playtime, I will ensure your pet is keeping your normal house rules (as well as my basic obedience rules I have for the dogs I watch). I'll also ensure your home is at the very least in the state I arrived to, if not more clean.

About: Lover of all types of animals. I grew up on a farm, so I have experience caring for all types of animals since I was young. Dogs and cats, livestock, and small pets.

I am passionate about the welfare of all animals, and I would be honoured to be trusted with the care of your fur babies. I work part time on the weekends, so I am free all week for pet care.

I adapt well to the pet’s routine, and I can provide free care for plants or fish while in the home. I have experience administering medication to many types of animals, and I am happy to provide frequent updates on your pets care if you would like.
