House Sitting Arkell

“Taylor is pretty incredible! 3 dogs can be alot, but she made us so feel so at ease, and made it look easy. Lots and lots of pics and feedback while we were away gave us such peace of mind. The dogs were happy and tired when we got home. Taylor stayed in our house (which always makes us feel a bit nervous not knowing someone) but she was a great house guest. Couldn't even tell she was there:) Taylor is just a lovely human, great with dogs and us, and we highly recommend!”

About: I've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.

“Nova was absolutely amazing! She stayed at my home and took care of both my cat and dog. It was the first time I've left them and I was a little tense, but she made sure to provide updates and photos very often, which helped put me at easy. I have to say that my pets can be a lot, and she handled everything perfectly well. She took really good care of my pets and the house as well. I will definitely book other times!”

“This was our first time trying the house-sitting service with our 2 cats Sesame & Aqua and our dog Ajyo and we were quite nervous, but the moment we found Jess we knew it’d all be ok. Jess is kind, patient, calm, competent, and a great communicator. She would send updates with pictures at your desired frequency (which she pre-communicated), and went above and beyond our need and request to give our furry kids a great time (such as taking our dog Ajyo out for extra fun long walks) We are SO happy that we found Jess, and will definitely be asking her to look after our furry kids for our future trips!”

“Kathleen watched our dog for the evening. She was very kind and our dog appreciated the walk! Would use her again”

“Deborah was absolutely amazing to work with! This was the very first time I’ve used in home dog care while traveling, and I could not be happier. Deborah is warm, loving and so kind. I highly recommend her, and will be looking forward to working with Deborah again, as both my dogs adored her!”

Lindsay W.

“Emilie was a great housesitter and took amazing care of our fur babies. She sent along pictures and updates throughout the stay and left the house tidy! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her care!”

About: Hi! I’m a 35-year-old working professional, marathon runner, and lifelong dog lover. I work remotely four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I grew up with a Labradoodle who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years, and I’ve missed having a dog around ever since! While my condo isn’t quite the right fit for a dog of my own, Rover is the perfect way to spend time with pups and help out fellow dog owners. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some company while you’re away, or overnight care in your home, I’d love to help! I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to host small dogs (20 lbs or less) at my condo. Above all, I’ll treat your pup with lots of love, care, and attention, just as I would my own! 🐶 I work full time remotely and would be available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday during the day for potty breaks and walks. I would also be happy to stay at your house during the week if needed. Available on the weekends too. Please give me 3 days (preferably a weeks notice) so I can plan my schedule accordingly! Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and happy to keep you updated while your pup is in my care.

About: I have 14 years of experience as a devoted pet parent and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and individual needs.

This included providing extra patience, attention, comfort and support as her needs changed. I am compassionate, attentive and very in tune with animals. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routines and making sure they feel safe and loved. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I will treat every pet as if they were my own I am flexible in my availability and locations. I am organized and reliable and will always make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs before accepting a booking. I am happy to work with you to maintain your dog’s usual routine and provide plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away My priority is providing a safe, loving and comfortable environment for every pet. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m also happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I respect each pet parent’s instructions, routines and wishes, ensuring every dog feels safe, comfortable and

“Melissa exceeded our expectations! She met with us and the girls in advance of our trip, which put our minds at ease. She also did a great job managing our dogs on walks, which can be a challenge. She left the house just as she found it, which was wonderful to come home to after a busy weekend. And the best part was the lovely, reassuring updates and photos we received from Melissa throughout our time away. We would definitely have Melissa back and feel so good about finally having someone we can trust to look after our girls.”

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs, I very much miss having my own. I have been looking after friends’ dogs for several years now, but my friends just don’t travel enough! I am beyond happy to look after dogs in any way possible. I work until 2:30 on weekdays, and am happy to do walks or afternoon checks on dogs. I also happy to do overnights on weekdays if the dog can be alone during the day. Weekends are available for full day in-home care. I am happy to follow any instructions needed in the home to keep your pooch happy and healthy. Long walks are no problem, and I can ensure any specific instructions will be followed.

About: I’ve consistently worked in veterinary hospitals since 2016! I have experience with exotics, dogs, cats, farm animals and wildlife! Currently, I’m Veterinary student at OVC and I work at an emergency pet hospital. I have 3 dogs at my family home, plus 1 cat and hamster at my own home. Occasionally I have foster dogs as well! I have tons of enrichment toys, kongs, treats, even a stroller for the ones who aren’t able to go on long walks! Aside from attending school, i work part time at a local emergency vet clinic, I am most available during weekday lunch hours & evenings. As well as on the weekends! I have a partially fenced yard. I live very close to many parks, ponds, trails. There is 1 neutered & friendly cat in the home that can be in a separate room if needed (plus a hamster)

“Taylor was quick to respond and accommodated a booking on short notice. Great communication and updates, and my dog certainly enjoyed his time with her!”

About: I worked at a pet store for 6 years, and gained knowledge for cats and dogs. I’ve also had my dog for 8 years, she is a German Shepard/rottweiler. Different things we trained her on is, “indoor bark” so she does a whisper bark to not be loud. We trained her to be good with kids since I have 3 human babies. We have trained her to “walk beside” so she is not pulling. For other dogs, I did an over night stay for a 7 year old boxer, and I’ve dog walked a cocker spaniel who is 9 months. I have experience from puppy - senior dogs and can follow direction really well. I used to work at a pet store full time before I got my 3rd human baby. Everyday, I would be helping and answering questions for customers to help with there pet needs. Everyday I take care of my dog and my cat, whether that is playing, go on walks, take the dog outside, clean up after the dog outside, clean the cat litter, clean pet fur off of everything, bathe, nails ect. Pets have been in my life forever and has always been apart of my daily routine. As long as your dog is kid friendly, they are more than welcome to stay here. I have my own vehicle so I can take the dog to the off leash park (if client is comfortable), I can walk the dog on long walks if they need it. Throughout my care, I will send updates constantly and whatever you need me to do I will do it, I would rather make the clients life a lot easier to there needs as well :)

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette, and dogs have been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. I’ve owned three dogs of my own, and before joining Rover, I regularly dog sat for friends and family. For over six months now, I’ve also been dog sitting and walking through Rover, which has given me the opportunity to care for all different types of dogs — from young, energetic pups to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. At this point I offer new clients, your home pet sitting, dog walking, and pet in home visits. I also offer dog boarding in my home for previous clients. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and have experience with dogs who pull on the leash, nervous or shy dogs, and dogs who need medication. One of the most rewarding parts for me is seeing a nervous dog slowly become comfortable and eventually feel completely at home with me. I’m a caring, calm, and reliable person, and I always make sure every dog’s individual needs are met. I love getting outside for walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy having cuddle time with a dog who wants to relax! I started doing this because I genuinely love animals, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and their unique personality. My goal is always to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Currently am available through out weeks and weekends and can be flexible depending on when you need pet care or pet walking or pet visits When walking dogs I will make sure to always keep the dog on leash. When pet sitting at your home I make sure to keep your home safe while your away as well as your pet!

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.

My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

“Tik Wan went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I went to my wedding overseas and had complete peace of mind. She was very communicative. Sending photos and videos at each visit. Playing with the cats made them very happy. A very reliable and attentive cat sitting. 100% would recommend. Will book again for any future travel.”
