“Melanie cared for our rat terrier, Rosie, for 3 weeks in April, and we are thrilled with the experience! I was nervous because we had never left Rosie with anyone, and for such a long time. Melanie met with me ahead of time to let me & Rosie get comfortable with her -- I knew right away we'd be in good hands, and Rosie adored her from the start! Melanie sent lots of messages and photos every day, and we ended up chatting about everything from food and the weather to my houseplants. She followed my detailed instructions for treats, exercise, and dog food, and left our house spotless, even washed the towels & sheets. We highly recommend Melanie because she is a very responsible dog-sitter, and is truly passionate about dogs. I think Rosie would have gone home with her if she could, they really bonded with all that cuddling! We will ask Melanie to care for Rosie for all future trips.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different kinds since I was 7. My family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. Dogs and Cats need unconditional love and the best care. I have retired recently and love dogs and walking. Dogs love walking and it makes me happy to be part of their fun and excitement I live in the country and walk daily. A lease would be needed on quite roads to walk dogs. I live on 8 acres with bush trails and have a car to drive to customer homes to walk dogs.

About: I am married with two boys (9&7), and we own a goofy 5 year old Weimaraner. He is very friendly with kids and compatible with other dogs. My personal goal with Rover is to meet people and their dogs while getting more active with daily walking. Since 1996, I have owned three cats and two active breed dogs. I have loads of experience dealing with various pets belonging to friends and family, and have offered my care to their pets over the years. I have the skills and patience to help puppies learn good habits while ensuring they feel loved and secure. I also understand the unique needs of older pets, from medication administration to gentle handling and extra attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort and happiness. I am reliable and trustworthy, with no criminal record and a valid VSC. I prioritize safety, adhere to schedules, and communicate clearly with all pet owners. My background equips me to handle a variety of pet behaviours and needs with confidence. If you need someone honest and dependable to pop in to feed your pet, give them a walk or a cuddle, please reach out! My elementary kids are in school from 8:30-4pm, therefore I cannot depart my home for weekday walks until 9am. Evenings are usually free, however, I may have sports to attend with my children so they may join me for walks. Regardless, please reach out so we can make a walk or drop-in work. Once at your home, I will provide a leashed walk in your neighbourhood. I’ll provide photos of them during my check-in, and ensure their bathroom break is picked up/disposed of. My dog is trained on/off-leash with strong recall, and may join for walks (your permission is required). I am able to crate your dog, if requested. I can also provide food and/or a treat - due to allergy/dietary concerns, this must be provided by you. If I am caring for your cat, I will provide the necessary food/water, as well as a litter box check/clean.

“We were so happy to have Jacqueline come stay with our Cara. Cara can be cautious with new people but she took to Jacqueline right away. Jacqueline sent us regular updates which we really appreciated and we came home to a very happy pup who had a nice walk and playtime with Jacqueline. We would definitely have Jacqueline back again. :)”

“Matt is an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was evident that he is a true animal lover and wants to provide the highest quality care. We booked Matt for in-home care for three days over Christmas for our challenging reactive rescue. From his consistent updates, it was easy to see that he was working to make sure our dog was exercised, safe, and loved. At the end of the stay, I realized I had given my dog the best Christmas present she could ever want- an exciting, yet relaxing, staycation. I recommend Matt for anyone looking for peace of mind while you're away, especially if you have a high energy dog. Thanks so much, Matt!”

About: I have been taking care pets all my life, and I also grew up surrounded by all sort of animals since my father was a Veterinarian. Lately, I can only sit cats. I have a lot of patience and love for these little friends. Your cat will be in good hands ! I work from home almost all week and live with my son most of the time. We both love animals. My house is already set to receive cats, since I have been doing this for a while. My house is already set for cats to feel at home, they are free to go everywhere, and they can sleep wherever they chose (that includes my bed :) )

“I feel very lucky to have found Jenna and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She is clearly an animal lover and we were able to meet in person twice before her stay which was reassuring for me. My dog is a senior and my cat very timid and she was happy to cater to their specific needs and keep me updated throughout the week we were away. She was very organized and helped me navigate the process with Rover. Thank you Jenna!”

About: I love animals and enjoy every moment with them. My dream is to be able to have a rescue as all four of my animals are from rescues. I have decreased my hours at work to be back home more due to the rising cost of gas. I have more time to take on these duties. Every situation is different. You respect the same trust and safety for every pet weather is yours or someone else's. For dogs always leashed as you never know the situation of a pet.

About: Attentive and caring. Nature lover. Love playing tug of war and playing catch with dogs. Live about a 10min walk from Hampton park and dog park. Love also snuggles and taking some down time at home. I have two children, 6 years old and a 9 year old, they are active and playful. My 9 year old loves to do small tasks like pouring the food or brushing the dog. He really wants a dog. My 6 year old loves cuddling and kissing. They are with me every other week. I keep all harmful cleaning products up high and clean mostly with vinegar and water because it's healthier for the kids and environment. Hope to get to know you soon! Cheers. I am home most of the week, working remotely. I am available some weekends- with and without kids, so it doesn't hurt to ask. :) I have a fenced yard that is a good space to let out energy. We go to the park and woods often to explore and take in fresh air. We like to spend time together as a family in the evening either dancing or reading stories together. My kids are well behaved and respectful towards animals. I am also available every other weekend for house sitting. Again-- asking does not hurt-it might be possible. I like to fiddle around with photography so I take some more "artistic photos" if I see one.

About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.

About: * I will be moving back to school August 27, so I will be no longer able to watch after then * Hi! My name is Addison! I am a university student who has always had a heart for animals!

I am extremely attentive to behaviour and care to provide the best experience for your pet and myself!

About: I’ve housesat for family friends for years and now enjoy it with my own dog Zara! We live an active lifestyle and enjoy having an extra buddy or two join us! Zara is a great teacher to puppies learning how to be obedient dogs :) we know how to wind down at the end of the day for cuddles and treats. Zara eats twice a day, with a larger meal at night. She often eats frozen raw items like chicken feet, treats through out the day. We walk in the mornings, have an active walk/play/train, eat dinner and rest, and walk before bed. Our days are centred around Zara’s high energy level. I have always had a love for animals, especially horses, dogs, and cats. I’m a firm believer in caring for our animals to the best of our abilities!
