About: Hi! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with 15 years of experience caring for pets, and I absolutely love what I do! 🐾 I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including seniors, pets with medical needs, and those who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behaviour or health and making sure your pet receives the attentive care they deserve. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their usual routine, and give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own. ❤️ With 15 years of veterinary experience and a genuine love for animals, you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands! I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer pet care outside of my regular work hours. I’m available for evening visits after work and throughout the entire weekend, making it easy to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate their feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and other care needs whenever possible. With my flexible schedule and 15 years of experience as an RVT, I’m able to provide attentive, dependable care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced and caring hands. 🐾❤️ I offer flexible pet care both in my home and in your home, depending on what is most comfortable and appropriate for your pet. With 15 years of experience as an RVT, I’m especially comfortable caring for pets with medical or special care needs, including administering medications, monitoring health and behaviour, and following individualized care instructions. I understand that some pets need a little extra attention, patience, and consistency to feel their best. For dogs, I offer personalized walks and one-on-one attention based on their energy level, routine, and individual needs. For cats, I focus on calm, visits where they can receive dedicated attention, playtime, feeding, litter care, medication when needed, and plenty of affection, while always respecting their personality and boundaries. Whether your pet needs a simple check-in or more specialized care, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I also offer simple grooming care, including nail trims, for an additional fee. These services can be discussed and arranged based on your pet’s needs and comfort level.

“With no experience with Rover I can state our dog was well cared for in a family environment over a two day overnight stay. I highly recommend.”

“Roberta took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a long family vacation. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog would be part of her family while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away and could tell he had enjoyed his time with Roberta and her dog. We are so grateful and will 100% reach out to Roberta next time we need a sitter. She is a lovely person who clearly cares deeply about the people and animals she interacts with. Thank you!”

“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”

About: Important thing about looking after cats is to let them dictate what they’re comfortable with. Some cats want love and some cats want space.

“Jessica is wonderful. She connected right away with Charm and kept her close by and involved with her all day. Charm loves going out and being with her person for all activities. Jessica was her person for the day and Charm was super happy when we picked her up at the end of the day so I know she had lots of fun eith Jessica and was comfortable. Thankyou Jessica for making Charm a part of your family for the day and giving her so much love!”

About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, hedgehogs and even big animals too. I worked as a small animal veterinary technician as well as a dog rehabilitative carer to help them transition into adoption and foster care after coming from hard and difficult lives. I absolutely love and am passionate about animals and would be so excited to help you out! I work 10-5 from Sunday to Thursday most days, so sometimes it is hard for me to get away from work within that time range, however I am completely flexible otherwise and can even leave work during my lunch to do a quick drop in! I care for them as if they are my own but also respect each owner’s preferences when it comes to the care of their animal. I will pet them, love them and care for them like they are mine- which means taking time for them, being patient, and loving them. I also follow whatever regimen or structures the owners have set in place!

About: I've cared for my family's 2 sheepadoodles for 8 years, and consistently watch a cute little chihuahua who loves to play frisbee. I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, but I do have a highly flexible schedule for people that need pet care. I work for myself at home, and can work from anywhere if need be. I love going for walks, and am happy to take your pet out any time of the day. I work completely from home and for myself, so I have no schedule constraints and am available most of the time. I am about as flexible as it gets! I don't have a fenced yard, so pets in my home go for a couple walks. If you have a fenced yard, I throw balls and frisbees till your pet can't go anymore!
