“We continue to have Julie stay with our cat when we are out of town. She is so great at providing us updates and giving us peace of mind that our cat and home is being loved and cared for. As always, we highly recommend Julie.”


“Ashley was really great! So accommodating and sending pics and updates! I felt so comfortable and at ease with knowing she was there with him. Will def use her again!”


“I was nervous to leave my dogs for the first time, new city, 2nd dog and travel after a long hiatus. Sheila was great with the girls, she provided much needed peace of mind, daily updates, photos and feedback. I would definitely recommend her.”


“From the very first message it was a pleasure to work with Lynda. She is super responsive and her love for dogs is beyond obvious. She went above and beyond watching over my one year old pup as I was going to be gone overnight at an event. Lynda even offered to pick up my pup at the event and bring him back to the place we were staying at. She made him (and me!) feel comfortable and like we were definitely in good hands. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”


About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Jasmine and I am a huge animal lover! Throughout the course of my life I have been lucky enough to be the pet parent to various animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, frogs, and more! I have also cared for the pets of family members and friends when they've needed it over the years, in addition to volunteering at the SPCA. I love all animals and will make sure your babies get the love and attention they deserve while they're under my care. I offer dog walking and pet sitting and I have a flexible schedule, which will make it easy for me to fit your scheduling needs. If you are looking for someone you can trust to treat your pets with love and kindness, you've got your girl! I currently work mostly remote, with some in person work on the weekends, giving me plenty of time to work with regarding scheduling. In about 90% of cases I can make your desired schedule work. I am very respectful of rules and suggestions given to me by the pet owner and will always do my absolute best to ensure everything goes smoothly and safely. I understand trusting a stranger with your pet is hard, so I take this very seriously and will work to earn your trust.

About: I've cared for puppies since I was 12 years old and spend every summer pet-sitting. I enjoy taking them for long walks and can handle dogs ranging in size from small to medium. Your furry friend will receive personalized attention, playtime, and a safe, loving environment. I am currently a full-time nursing student and love to work with "PAWS". 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 :)

“Tracey took amazing care of our 2 Boston Terriers for a week, she came and stayed at our house. Our house was exactly how we left it (maybe cleaner), she even took out the garbage even though we did not expect it. We received daily updates. Our one dog needed ointment applied and Tracey was more then happy to do it. Our dogs were happy all week and sad to see Tracey leave when we got home. We highly recommend Tracey.”


“This was our first time meeting Marisa and having her look after Sully. She came for a meet and greet and I felt very certain that she was indeed interested in my dog and that I would be leaving him in very capable hands. Marisa had already read Sully's profile and that made me feel very comfortable. During her stay at our house, I received pictures and updates on how the evening was going. She gave Sully lots of play time and training as well. Marisa is a lovely young lady and we will certainly have her return to our home.”


“Holly was so sweet and caring with our two big dogs! She asked plenty of questions to make sure everything was perfect for the dogs. She was amazing dog sitting for Moose and Daisy and kept us up to date. Thank you Holly!”


About: I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own high-energy dog and senior cat. I've also helped neighbors with pet sitting, administering medications, and supporting pets with special needs. I'm comfortable with a range of temperaments and ages, and I always aim to provide patient, attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I have the time and flexibility to provide consistent attention. I make sure pets are fed, walked, and engaged throughout the day, and I prioritize their comfort and well-being as part of my regular schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine in a familiar and stress-free environment. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-attended to. I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

About: I have always loved dogs and their companionship. I grew up among various breeds including German Shepherds, Labs, and presently, Samoyeds. I have experience pet sitting for friends and family members. I'm comfortable working with small to big dogs and cats as well. I'm looking to extend my care and love for pets further and provide reassurance and peace of mind while you are away. I am currently a proud dog mom of a 3 year old Sammie named Sahara, whom I cherish deeply. Having raised a puppy during Covid, it was extremely challenging but a rewarding feeling having a companion during such a difficult time. I love my girl so much that I spoil her at every opportunity I can get. She is a fluffy, sweet girl that is so friendly with other people and dogs. It didn't take long for the cuteness of a Samoyeds to rub off onto my sister, so Sahara is now a big sister to her 1 year old brother. They enjoying playing at the park together along with their Rottweiler best friend that she grew up with. I know how important it is to take the health of our dogs seriously making sure they stay active and well-exercised. I love playing fetch, tug of war and making sure that they have been properly exercised. Mental enrichment is also just as important as physical, I am enthusiastic about teaching new tricks and reinforcing existing ones. I am also committed to enriching their lives by varying our walking routes, allowing them to explore new environments and scents so our walks would never be boring. Our dogs do so much for us and it would be my pleasure to extend the same level of care and affection to your beloved pets. I recognize the significance of establishing a consistent routine for our furry companions. My daily practice involves providing my dogs with a 60-minute walk, along with visits to parks where they can run and play. I love going on trail walks and discovering new places with my dogs where they can smell new things. I also understand the importance of maintaining stability for our pets. I am more than willing to adapt to and uphold any existing routines you have established with your dog — the more I know about your pet the better! Safety is my number one priority! I know the level of anxiety we feel entrusting our dogs to someone new, and I want to assure you of my unwavering commitment to their well-being. Rest assured, your dog will never be left unattended or taken to places such as dog parks without your explicit permission. I'm very vigilant about avoiding walks during the hottest parts of the day to prevent dehydration. I would love to stay connected while you're away and send updates throughout the day whether that is pictures or videos to relieve any anxiousness. I'm a very caring, responsible person and wouldn't treat someone else's dog unlike my own.

“Rachael did a fantastic job of watching my two crazy German Shepherds. She always replied quickly to me during her 7 day stay, and gave me updates and photos. She was very accommodating during the holiday season. She also took great care of my home as well. Would for sure book with Rachael again.”

“I got Hayley to watch my 2 kittens twice now and she is great. She sends daily updates with pictures like I asked. In the updates she sends food intake and bathroom output and anything else that needs to be addressed. The kittens seem to be happy and taken care of. I will definitely book her for my future trips.”


“Krupa is truly amazing with dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter. She has cared for our Gus several times and he gets so excited when she visits. Our puppy can be very energetic but Krupa has a special way of lovingly and calmly keeping things in order. She always goes above and beyond to ensure Gus is happy and well taken care of while regularly communicating details of the visit. We are so fortunate to have found Krupa and will regularly book with her.”



“The best! We had Double Duty Care look after our home and furry friend while we were away, and we couldn't be more thrilled with their service! From the moment they arrived for the meet & greet they exuded professionalism and warmth; making our family and dog feel at ease. They took incredible care of our home, leaving everything spotless. Our senior dog was clearly well-loved and attended to, as she was happy and healthy upon our return. Michelle and Des provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and genuine affection for animals. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet (and house) sitters. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next trip!”


“Adrienne and her dog buddy came and spent the weekend at my home to take care of my aging and anxious dog. Both my home and my dog were treated royally. I would definitely ask Addrienne to take care of Henry again. Highly recommend.”


“This is our second time having Phannie as our house sitter and never felt safer travelling while having her watch our pups.Consist and communicated all updates needed, would highly suggest her for your dog sitting needs.”


“Jamie was great. We were really nervous to use Rover for the first time but she was very responsive leading up to our booking. While we were away, she kept us very updated with how our dogs were doing, which we really appreciated. We would gladly book her again.”


“Our German Shepherd is a needy dog! He is missing his long-time sitter, and as we were stuck for someone to watch him, see turned to Rover and found Lindsay. Lindsay rearranged her schedule and came on extremely short notice even though she had plans. Max warmed up to her immediately, and she was very knowledgeable and perceptive about his needs. Max was comfortable with Lindsay- she sent us updates, and we could see that he was having a great time! We like and trust Lindsay, and will definitely continue to use her!”


About: My personalized attention and genuine connection with every dog I care for make me different from other sitters. I don't just watch over pets—I spend real time with them, understand their behavior, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, gentle handling, and lots of patience. I pay close attention to their needs and quickly notice if something is off or if they need extra care. Additionally: I’m very physically active, so I truly enjoy long walks and playing with high-energy dogs. I have experience with basic obedience training. I’ve also cared for dogs that need medication. My goal is always to make dogs feel loved and secure, and to give their owners total peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands I am an international student looking for a part-time job that I enjoy. Caring for animals has always been one of my main activities at home. I have two beautiful dogs that I will eventually bring to Canada. They are my daughters. Dedicating my time to dog care motivates me and fits in very well with my studies. In a client’s home: I respect the pet’s space and routine, making sure their environment feels familiar and stress-free. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner (feeding times, medication, walk schedule, etc.) and keep the area clean and secure. I give the pet time to warm up to me, building trust through patience and gentle attention. My goal is always to create a safe and loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for, and their humans feel completely confident and at peace.
