About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, also foster dogs on occasion for a dog rescue group. I strive to ensure my home is as comfortable for the dogs as possible. I am semi retired and work from home. I am home the majority of the day, I try to ensure if I’m going out that it is only once a day. I treat all pets as tho they are my own. I do like to meet the dogs and their owner beforehand to get as much information as possible in advance of their stay.
“So thankful we found Gina! Our two dogs stayed for almost a week and we can tell they had the best stay. Gina and her family treated them just like they were her own! We loved getting the daily updates and pictures of what they were up to while we were on vacation. She always responds quickly and was able to accommodate them for one more night on short notice when our flight was delayed. Thank you so much Gina! We are definitely going to be repeat customers and would recommend her without a doubt!”
“10/10! Would definitely recommend & plan to repeat! Joseph & Tina took Zano into their home and showed him so much love & care. It was very evident on pick up that he was confortable and happy with them. They have a safe & fabulous set up with a large, fenced yard. Zano had ample outside time & came home tired. Joe & Tina were excellent! We felt well taken care of from their communication prior to drop off, during Zano's stay & at pick up. They went above & beyond expectations showing the highest regard for ours & Zano's needs, wishes & house rules. They were so considerate, friendly & respectful - I truly have no constructive feedback whatsoever & would 100% recommend.”
“We are going to miss Candace and her family so much!! We’d have several bookings with her and have never felt more comfortable leaving our dog with her family. They are so welcoming, and they truly love dogs! Our dog tucker will miss her family and their dogs so much! Couldn’t recommend Candace more for your dog sitting needs!”
“Jackie and Clyde were awesome! Jackie kept me up to date sending videos and pictures of their daily play and hikes. It was easy to see how much Jackie enjoys caring for pups and her pup Clyde loves having new friends to play with too. I had absolutely no worries or concerns while Ruger was with her. We will definitely use Jackie and Clyde again!”
About: Dog owner of 13 years. Have offered dog sitting services for dogs from one years old to senior. My dog has recently passed away and I am looking to have some dog energy in my life. I look forward and am happy to have a visitor join me at my house or go for a walk at one of the local trails. I currently work from home Monday to Friday. I am available for dog walking early morning or afternoons as well as weekends. If joining in my home, your pet would not be alone and could have frequent outside time in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome and safe in any room. I live in a walk friendly neighborhood close to trails.
“Gail was excellent. Met with her beforehand to get an idea of the layout to see if my senior boy-Harley would fit in at her home. Harley loved his companionship with her two little dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving him there. It’s good knowing he has a place to go to where he’s comfortable. Gail sent me pictures and was very communicative on how he was doing while he was in her care. I highly recommend Gail.”
“Cassie was responsive and accommodating! She took the time to meet Bubba and I before booking his stay which gave us extra reassurance. Bubba seemed to be right at home with Cassie and her family. I would highly recommend her!”
“I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Tanya. From our first meet she made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She really prioritized our routines and I appreciated how knowledgeable she is in dog behaviors and personalities.”
“Lisa was truly amazing. She was kind, welcoming , so attentive to my little ones and just an overall joy to interact with. She kept me well updated with photos and videos and she did so shortly after drop off. I’m often very nervous leaving or trusting my dogs with anyone but she was definitely the best choice I could ever make!”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 6 years old, that is 57 years of knowing the joy of dogs. I've raised them from puppies, rescued them from the street, cared for them in their old age and through sickness. I have held them all as they have left this world, and gazed into their eyes as they took their last breath so they knew I was there and to not be afraid. I have always considered them my family and treated them as such. I am the person that sits with the dog at house parties. I know that dogs feel safe in my presence as they have the gift of sensing who is a kind human being. I am excited about walking and running with the young dogs, and excited to sit and cuddle with the old. They are welcome in my home, on my couch, on the bed. I work from home, part time, and will always be available for your dog throughout the day and night! They will be welcome to sit beside me in my office on a dog bed, or lounge around anywhere else in my home. My home is very dog friendly. I have two large decks that overlook the forest where they can comfortably lounge in the sun. The can rest in front of my warm gas fireplace on a dog bed in the colder months. I have trails and park right behind my house that I would love to take your dog for walks along. They are welcome to sit on my couches, or hop up on my bed.
“Tamara did a great job with Fitz and kept me updated while on my trip. Very accommodating and gave him a lot of love! Made it easier to enjoy the trip and now know someone in the area who can watch him! Thanks again, Tamara!”
“Brianne was wonderful taking care of my puppy for three nights. She gave updates everyday and was able to spend one on one time with her everyday. It was Harleys first time away from me and she had a great experience! I don’t hesitate to recommend Brianne for anyone’s fur babies ❤️”

“We loved having Sarah here to look after our cat Hannie. When we got home Hannie was very happy and Sarah kept the house spotless. She really bonded with Hannie and we are so grateful to her for looking after our beloved pet for us for the Easter weekend. I .Highly recommend her to anyone who needs somebody who’s really loving to look after their beloved cat.”

The many Pictures told the happy story for Hannie as well as Laura’s frequent texts. Thank you sooo much Laura!”
“Kathryn took great care of our two boys. Played with them and sent pictures of their visits. Kathryn had great communication with us during our time away. We highly recommend Kathryn for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away. Thank you so much Kathryn!”
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover and proud cat mom to two of my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles (or space, depending on your cat’s personality!). Whether your cat is high-energy or a cuddly princess who rules the house, I’m comfortable adjusting to their needs. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own 💛
About: I am comfortable in any place and I believe cats can be too with the right amount of time. All cats like to relax or spend time sleeping during the day when I have time to clean for them.
“I was so reluctant to use Rover but then I found Shelly! Now I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get too busy and not be available but she deserves a glowing reference from me. Shelly, is absolutely the best and I feel so blessed to have found her…she is experienced with all their meds, loving and reliable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver. A+++ (and I don’t leave this review lightly….I am very particular when it comes to my babies )”
“Kelly & her daughter are great pet sitters! They made sure my fur babies got lots of pets & love during their check-ins. I was surprised that my cat Constance was comfortable with them, as she is a skittish girl and always tries to hide when people come over, but she also loved Kelly & her daughter. I'm grateful for their services I will definitely hire them again.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from training energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience and comfort. I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I am available for boarding on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! Sometimes I work one-two days a week. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities tailored to their needs. Whether it’s daily walks, interactive toys, or a cozy spot to relax, I make sure they feel at home. I maintain a clean space, follow their feeding and medication schedules, and ensure they receive plenty of attention and affection.

About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone.

I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem.

About: The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise. My schedule is open to fit your needs at the moment and I can commute near my home quickly in a car for emergencies. Since we live in a tough environment I will come prepared for the weather appropriately. I usually take my dog out 3 to 4 times per day which includes picking up poop and learning of basic tricks. She is 5 but strong as labradors are because of their size.
About: Growing up in a small town with lots of land, animals were always a huge part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, including French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, French Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and many cats, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Now that I’m away at university as a full-time student, I miss having pets around every day and love any opportunity to spend time with animals. As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very active and happy to provide long walks, playtime, adventures, and lots of exercise for energetic pets. If your pet prefers relaxing and cuddling, I’m just as happy spending quality time keeping them company while I study. Whether it’s walks, feeding, brushing, bathing, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and spoiled while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make their time with me feel like a vacation. I’m a university student with online courses so I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to fit their routine and needs. I enjoy staying active, so energetic pets are always welcome, but I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon studying with a cuddly companion by my side. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, bathing, exercise, training, or household rules. Whether caring for your pet in your home or spending time with them throughout the day or in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own pets.
About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.
“Kelley is the best. Always takes such good care of esker and always follows up on how things went. Highly recommend!! Your dog will be so happy and you will feel good knowing you have such a good person taking care of your dog!”

“Cassidy is basically part of the family at this point as she is the absolute best person I could think of to watch our little Peanut. I have so much trust in her and she has gone above and beyond. Her dog Remi is so sweet and very good with our dog. We get daily photos and check ins of what our pup is up too and she is always taking them to the park and for hikes. Peanut runs right into her house without looking back and gets sad for a day or two when we come home hahaha! She aka gave out pup antibiotics and eye drops during separate stays and was so accommodating. Such a phenomenal person and truly wonderful with animals!”
“Teresa, treated Coltrane like part of the family. She kept us updated with pictures of their hikes, dog play and big sleeps. Coltrane returned to us happy and settled. She put our hearts at ease.”
