“First time using rover and as anyone would be having a stranger in your home is nerve racking. I’ve only ever had family and close friends watch my dog. Ashley was great and was at my house within 30 minutes of messaging her to meet Winnie who btw loved her!!! Will be using frequently”

“Erin did a perfect job taking care of our French Bulldog, Rok. We were away for the day, and we didn’t want Rok indoors and alone all day. Erin arrived at the prearranged time, and she took him for a walk. She made sure that he had enough time outside, and that his activity level was not too strenuous (he is experiencing a health issue). She also checked that he had water in his dish before she left. We will definitely be asking Erin to help us again! She is responsible and reliable.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: I have worked with dogs of all kinds for 10+ years. I am a stay at home mom right now who is looking to enjoy some time outside the home and care for your 4 legged babes! It's been a dream of mine to start my own doggy business and finally have the freedom to make that dream come true! I love all dogs and will love yours just as much as I love mine! I have 2 small ones at home but have tons of experience with the big ones too! I can help you get them to any appointments they have or just have a visit while you are at work for the day! Can't wait to meet some new friends big and small! I have flexibility in my schedule, so I'm confident I can work with you and find the right time and service to fit your needs. Services will be at your home. If your dog is ok in the car, we can go on adventures. I will treat your house like my own!

“Maria is wonderful. She has looked after my 2 cats multiple times while I'm away and each time she is friendly, professional, and most importantly my cats are taken care of. I never have to worry with her; She communicates well and ensures I'm kept up to date. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve been a dog/cat owner all my life and love to walk! I have experience with many breeds and would love to meet your pet! I’m able to walk multiple dogs at once and would love to help care for your furry friend. I’ll care about your pet as much as I care about mine! I’m currently semi-retired and available Monday to Friday at any time. I walk my own Doodle daily and can accommodate most scheduling needs. Reach out to discuss your needs. When visiting your home for drop ins or dog walking pick up, your house will be treated with the utmost respect. You can trust that I’ll look after your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve.

About: I love all animals and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am have a vet assistant college certificate and worked at a veterinarian emergency clinic. I have owned many pets over the years including, cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, crabs, shrimp, fish, a gecko, and a horse. I have my own pet sitting buisness for over 10 years. I also volunteered at Furry Friends Cat shelter for a number of years as well. I am available to petsit between my college classes that I'm currently taking. I have lots of availability to do pet sitting. I prefer doing pet sits for small/exotic animals as I have lots of experience with them and they don't typically need a specific time for a drop in. I do not care for pets in my own home due to the many pets I currently have already of my own. I offer pet sitting in your home. I can let dogs out for bathroom breaks, take them for walks, make sure all fur babies have fresh water and are fed. Change litter boxes and give lots of love and attention to your fur baby while your away.

“Sarah was great and on short notice as well. My dog Petra seemed to really enjoy her company, they played and went for a walk. Sarah was a lifeline for me at the very last minute and I will definitely reach out to her again thank you, Sarah.”

“Christina was great! She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. Would definitely have Christina watch our Rue again in the future! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of my cat Miss Rita Marie for 5 years now since I adopted her in 2020. She had anxiety challenges but we were able to work through them by building trust and a unique bond between the two of us. When I am not working you can find me spending time with my cat Rita, whether that’s enjoying a cat nap or playing with her favourite toys. My cat Rita is an indoor cat but I can appreciate if you needed your cat to spend outdoor time with nature! I have experience with that with former family cats. I also have some experience looking after dogs. That’s Charlie in the photo. We had a great time playing ball together.

About: I am currently a volunteer dog walker at a dog shelter. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds, especially larger sized dogs, and various ages and temperaments including puppies, young and adult dogs, and seniors. I have also worked with cats of various temperaments, senior cats, sick cats, and kittens. I was previously a horse trainer for 5+ years, handled birds and a variety of small animals, including volunteering on a small animal team at a local animal shelter. As a stay-at-home mom of two school age kiddos and a writer/ photographer, I spend most of the day at home. We currently have no other pets in the home, and as a dedicated animal person, I would love to open up our beautiful townhome to 2 doggies for a doggie daycare. I am currently open for 2 doggie daycare spots, available Monday to Friday, from 6 am to 6 pm. While dog walking and interacting with dogs, I use methods based on a gentle leadership approach, where I work to gain and maintain the dog's attention on me as their walker or babysitter as much as possible using positive reinforcement with lots of praise, loving attention and encouragement. Keeping a dogs attention on me frequently with lots of praise and affection helps to promote healthy leash walking behaviours such as no pulling, and healthy training behaviours, along with their overall happiness, comfort and wellbeing while in my care. I would give your pet lots of snuggles, cuddles and attention based on their preference and comfort level, while also allowing them to adjust to our home at their own preferred pace. During doggy daycare and boarding, I like to keep constant watch over your pet to ensure they feel happy, safe, comfortable, and that they feel especially loved. Feel free to check out the two photos of my doggie daycare backyard in my pics! :)

“I'm so glad that we booked Avery and Sarah to look after our fuzzy babies while we were away. They took great care of them and were especially loving with our Senior girl and very patient with our sometimes grumpy boy. Communication was fantastic and we would recommend them highly to anyone!”

About: There has never been a period in my life that I have not owned a pet of my own. I also have experience working in vet clinics and caring for other people's pets in my own home. I love all animals of all shapes, sizes and needs. I work from home most days and can schedule my day as needed, meaning I can get up to attend to pets at any time. My evenings and weekend are work free. I enjoy getting outdoors for walks with dogs and enjoy curling up with a cat and reading a book. Play time in a pets day is essential as well and lots of time is spent having fun! I have a 2 story home with finished basement. I have 2 cats, our dog sadly passed away recently but we are family that loves dogs. 2 teenage girls who are also animal lovers who have always had pets in their lives. Both very gentle, caring and helpful. If I am coming into your home I will follow your direction and respect your wishes when it comes to your fur babies.

About: I currently don’t have any pets and miss them dearly in my life, looking to dog/puppy sit and help out those in need. I have over 5 years of doggy sitting experience and have taken care of puppies in need before. I had a lovely Sheltie living with me while in university so I am proficient in dog walking and snuggles! I have experience with bathing dogs and also giving medication if this is a requirement for you. I can also brush dogs and am happy to do so. There are a few parks around my house and some great paths for long walks both in the summer and winter time. Looking forward to meeting you and your special one soon and am happy to answer any questions you may have :) I work full time remotely so have amble time throughout the day to walk your lovely pup or take care of your cat outside or indoors as needed. I have a fenced backyard where I can take care of pups and provide ample exercise. I have been taking care of dogs for over 5 years and provide a safe and trusting environment.
