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.

“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: Hi there, fellow dog lover! 🐶 I’m Krupa, but you can call me Krips. My passion for animals has been a lifelong journey. From rescuing strays and lost pets to becoming a devoted dog parent myself, my dedication to animal care is at the heart of everything I do. Dogs are more than pets to me—they’re family. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, a cozy sitting session, or a good old-fashioned belly rub, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and care they deserve 🐶 Previously in Bahrain, I devoted time to rescuing and feeding homeless dogs and cats. That experience instilled in me the value of kindness and compassion for every animal in need. I myself have dog babies back home and have been taking care of them since 10 years. Now, I bring that same dedication to every walk and sitting session, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for 🐶 I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pup, and I promise to treat every dog with the same attention, affection, and care as if they were my own 🐶 I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs—whether it’s a regular walking routine or occasional visits. If your dog loves to play, I’ll make sure they have a blast! 🐶 Please note: For bookings made less than 24 hours in advance, a small last-minute fee may apply. I appreciate your understanding and am always happy to chat about your needs ahead of time! 🐶 Let’s get your dog’s tail wagging! Send me a message, and let’s chat about how I can help take care of your furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶 I’m available for bookings throughout the weekdays (except from 6pm-8pm) and offer flexible hours on weekends, accommodating your schedule with ease to ensure your pet’s needs are met perfectly. I do not offer services at my own home. However, if I'm pet-sitting at your place, I’ll maintain consistent communication by sharing regular updates on your pet's well-being. To ensure I’m fully prepared, I’m happy to arrive early to thoroughly understand and follow any specific instructions you provide.

About: My pet care journey began in 2011 when my family adopted our dog, Mika, a rescued puppy. We raised her through every stage of life, and she’s now a sweet senior who enjoys a slower pace alongside my retired parents. Back in 2021, my family started boarding dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I helped care for many of them, from playful puppies to mellow seniors, tiny lap dogs to giant breeds. Now, I live with my fiancé and our two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes: Sasha (6) and Fenty (4). I’m comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and reinforcing basic commands. Whether your dog needs a calm check-in or an active walk, I’ll meet them where they are, with care, patience, and attention to detail. I work from home managing my fiancé’s therapy clinic, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I’m happy to stop by for drop-in visits, playtime, or walks throughout the day, and I can usually adapt to your pet’s routine with ease. Your pet’s routine and safety are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions you provide and never hesitate to ask questions to ensure everything is done just the way your pet is used to. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your dog for a walk, I aim to create a calm, consistent, and secure experience every time.

About: I've been the guardian home for our Labradoodle, Harlem, for the past 4 years, and that’s where our passion for dog care began. I recently started offering boarding in our home after caring for pets of friends and neighbors. I work from home, and my teens help with supervised walks and play. Your dog will get two walks a day, plus backyard time and lots of attention in a calm, family environment. I board a maximum of two families at a time to ensure every dog gets proper care and space. Walks, play, feeding, and photo updates are all included, and I'm happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to keep things low-stress. I treat every dog like one of my own. I do require a meet-and-greet before booking to ensure your dog is a good fit with Harlem. I work from home full-time, so pet care is naturally built into our daily routine. Morning and evening walks, regular backyard breaks, feeding, and indoor play are all part of the day-to-day. With teens at home as well, your dog gets plenty of interaction and attention throughout the day. I provide a quiet, structured home environment with lots of consistency and supervision. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure each guest feels secure and comfortable. I only board one to two families at a time, and dogs must get along with Harlem, our friendly Labradoodle. I do a meet-and-greet before any booking to make sure everyone is a good fit. I follow your dog’s feeding and care instructions closely, offer regular photo updates, and create a home-away-from-home feel that keeps stress levels low.

“Julia did an amazing job looking after our three cats. One of them is very shy and finicky but Julia knew how to handle that. She knows what to be observant of besides food and water and the initiative to take. Highly recommend Julia.”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 15+ years, starting with my own pup who was my sidekick for a decade and a half. These days, I spend my time walking, sitting, and snuggling pups of all kinds, and I even volunteer at a puppy yoga studio (yes, it's as cute as it sounds!). I'm all about belly rubs, snuggles, and making your pups feel loved 💛 Pet care is a big part of my life! Between dog sitting, dog walks, and volunteering at a puppy yoga studio, I love spending time with animals. I'm about to start school soon, so pet sitting will be a flexible part time job for me. I'm happy to offer both recurring care and one off sessions to fit your needs! I provide loving care for each pet's individual needs. In my home, which is a pet free apartment surrounded by ample green space and with easy access to the Bruce Trail, I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. Whether caring in my home or the client's, I follow feeding schedules, administer medications as needed, provide exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of love and snuggles. I also keep owners regularly updated on their pet's well being.

“This was our second time booking Caitlin, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She took great care of our cat, Stella, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. Knowing Stella was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely book Caitlin again!”


“Sam was great. Sent us photos everyday of our boys while we were away. Definitely made us feel at ease with leaving our furry friends at home. Thanks Sam! Elizabeth, Terry and Olive”


“Over the past weekend, I had to attend a friend’s birthday and I needed someone who could watch my girl. I was referred to Mary’s services through a friend recommendation and I am so glad to have been able to connect with her last minute and use her services. From the beginning, the communication has been nothing but great and consistent. Mary made sure to ask about my girl temperament, triggers and what works for her. This eased my anxiety so much as I wanted to ensure I had someone that was professional but also made me comfortable by checking in. She sent pictures on their walk and I could tell my girl (SaZu) felt very comfortable around her. I have an upcoming trip in June and my partner and I will definitely be using and recommending her services. Thank you so much Mary and for easing my anxiety while providing a safe space for my girl.”
