House Sitting in Aylmer

“Alissa was amazing with my golden retriever. She looked after him for a week and communicated updates, photos and even got him a toy. She went above and beyond as my boy had some separation anxiety and loose stools, and she knew exactly how to care for him and let me know right away. She left the home very tidy. I would 100% trust her with my pet again.”

Keeping a watchful eye on your pet whether inside your home or outside - rest assured care and attention goes into making sure your pet will get the attention your furry friend deserves as if your pet were my very own.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Walter was kind enough to accept a lasting team booking for my 22 month old Great Dane and senior Beagle. I was super nervous leaving a 140lbs puppy for a few nights, but after meeting Walter for the first time and seeing his calm, gentle demeanor with my boys; I was instantly at comfort! It was noticeable he has a lot of experience with giant size, active dogs. Each day I received multiple pictures of Walter and my boys on walks, sniffing around, having treats, and snuggling. It definitely felt good knowing they were having as much fun as me when I was away! Walter not only took meticulous care of my boys, he also kept my place perfectly clean. He even walked them again right before I came home, which bought me some extra time to relax with them when I got back. Thank you Walter! We certainly hope you will consider us again in the future!”

“We recently had Lisa come stay with our two dogs while we were away. She is excellent!! The boys were very happy and well looked after. Lisa sent us pictures and a video, which really helped us not to miss them so much. She left our home looking lovely too! Thanks so much, Lisa. We will book you again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets of all ages and temperaments. Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I offer flexible morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and weekend availability. I also provide boarding for both dogs and cats. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure each pet receives my full attention, and I only accept bookings I can confidently commit to. Clear communication and reliability are very important to me. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced backyard and a calm, structured environment. I have one very friendly, well-socialized dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats. If needed, I can easily separate pets, as my home has multiple areas to ensure comfort and safety for everyone. I provide clean spaces and multiple cozy pet beds.

“Oleksandra, did an amazing job taking care of our high energy puppy. She sent lots of pictures and videos for us. We highly recommend.”

“Wonderful companion for our Boys. Arrived promptly, and was patient with us when we were a bit later returning than planned. Great communication, and the dogs really like her. ????”

About: Animals have the key to my heart. I’ve had pet dogs and cats all of my life - as a child we had our rescue dogs Coco and Brady, a welsh cocker spaniel and an Airedale terrier. My cats have been Stripes, Smokey, and Mittens. We sadly lost our family dog, Lucy, last year - a pug - shih tzu mix and I have had my fur-son Alamo, who is a shih tzu terrier mix, rescued from Texas- for almost 6 years now. Alamo is my baby that gets spoiled to the max! I have fostered dogs for a few years and am a foster for the Humane Society and a couple of other rescues. Alamo was a foster fail! I am a teacher a yoga and fitness instructor who is new to London and waiting to be transferred to this school board. So in the meantime, I’ve got lots of time to take care of your furry loved ones. I have a fenced in backyard and I’m super close to lots of hiking trails that active dogs would love very much. Also lots of household space to separate pets if needed.

About: Through my experience having a Jack Russel Terrier, Australian Shepard, Husky, cats, reptiles, and more, I have found a love for all animals; big or small. I am confident in my skills being able to care for and train the basics of animals. I can provide love and care for your pets while you are away. Going for short/long walks, playing games, cuddling on the couch I can provide all the love necessary to make your animals feel at home. Although I am not an animal trainer, I have had 3 dogs that are all well behaved and listen well. I let my dogs off leash as I have trained them to a degree of trust they will listen when called. They are all well behaved on a leash, and I can work on skills with your pets too. I understand the difficulties animals may have and I am comfortable and confident in all situations. Most recently, I have cared for my senior husky who needed a little extra time and attention. I am patient and understanding of the extra care and love needed for senior dogs. I am currently a full-time teacher who loves to be active outside work hours. I am ready to go for long walks in the evenings and extra long explorations on weekends; or stay home if that's what your animal prefers. I try to live an active lifestyle, while always being considerate of being at home with my animals. My life has always revolved around my pets and it will revolve around yours too! I am able to care for your pet in anyway necessary. We can play in the yard together, go for long hikes, or even be lazy couch potatos. I can follow any routines you have set up, such as crating or walk training. I am here for whatever needs you and your loved ones require.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That role taught me the importance of routine, safety, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and happy. By profession, I’m currently a teacher, which means patience, responsibility, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of what I do every day. I’m used to being trusted with what matters most to people, and I bring that same level of care and accountability to looking after pets. Until recently, I was the proud owner of a Siberian Husky who lived an incredible life right up to the age of 13. Caring for him through all stages of life — from high-energy younger years to senior care — gave me deep experience with exercise needs, mental stimulation, grooming, and adapting routines as pets age. He was truly family, and his long, happy life means the world to me. I work as a teacher therefore have a set schedule, get home at a reasonable time, and can easily predict when I am available for your pets! I live in a house, drive, and am flexible with how I can support your pets while you are away. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

About: Recently I spent five months pet sitting in BC. I thoroughy enjoyed spending time with various dogs in their homes. I found that the dogs felt comfortable and at ease in their own homes while their owners knew their pets were well taken care of. Each day was a new adventure as we walked along lakes and mountains paths. I am a recently retired teacher looking for new opportunities and adventure to fill my time. I have a flexible schedule to suit your petsitting needs. As a pet owner in the past, I know how important safety is to a pet owner. I also know that a dog who gets lots of exercise and a cat who gets love and attention are happy pets. I will ensure that I will treat your pets like they are my own.

About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

About: Hey! I want to take care of your furry loved ones. I've been around animals and very comfortable being your animals new bestfriend. As a dog owner myself I understand the importance of routine and a healthy lifestyle I'm available on weekends and during the week after 5pm to walk or take care of your furry friend. During the week I will need time to take of my schedule weekends I'm available. I have walked large dogs my whole life I'm use to reactive dogs or friendly dogs. I ensure treats are natural as my own dog I wouldn't give her anything that would harm her. I can bathe give meds and walk any size dog
