Holly was extremely patient and never gave up on her. At the end of four days, our cat was affectionate with Holly and loved being petted. Holly even managed to administer insulin injections, and her no-nonsense approach and perseverance paid off. We received pictures and videos which kept us in the loop with everything that was going on. We are very happy with Holly’s care!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have many years of experience caring for them. I share my home with my 9-year-old girl, who still has plenty of energy, we’ve enjoyed two walks a day together for the past nine years. We would be delighted to welcome another dog to join us for walks, companionship, and time spent in our secure fenced yard. Your dog would be treated with warmth, care, and attention as part of our daily routine as I think dogs just love to come along for the ride! I am currently working part time, short day a few days of week and the rest of the time I work from home. I am very active and always puttering around the yard and house as dogs love to follow. I often go on long hikes to get out into the woods! My dog is my best friend, so I understand how important trust and care are. We walk every morning and afternoon, enjoy adventures, and can accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. We live close to great walking trails and the beach. Your dog will be well exercised, closely supervised, given lots of attention, and enjoy our secure fenced yard.
“Amelia was very phenomenal taking care of my dog Tails. She was also very accommodating and understanding when I couldn't make it on time for pick up due to flight disruption. Strongly recommended to everyone for her outstanding service.”

“This was my first time leaving my cat Wilson without a family member and he was so well cared for by Sarah. It made my trip so much more extra enjoyable because I knew he was in good hands, with updates twice a day. I’m home now and he’s so happy and calm and obviously looks so very well cared for and loved! Thank you, Sarah for the amazing care and love you gave to my Kat. It’s truly appreciated.!!!!”
“Shirol did a great job of taking care of our cat Jake while we were gone for a week. He was very comfortable with her even though he's a shy boy. This is our second time with Shirol and we would definitely book her again.”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Ashley care for my beloved fur babies while I was away for over a week, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone more loving, attentive, and dedicated. She truly went above and beyond, showering them with affection, keeping me updated with sweet photos and messages, and even giving my senior kitty her warm sink bath, which she absolutely loved! Coming home to two relaxed and happy pets (and a spotless home!) said it all. Ashley treated them like her own, and I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind she gave me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets.”
“Karin was a wonderful sitter. We received daily photos and updates for Toby, and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Karin asked lots of questions during our initial meeting and Toby appeared very comfortable with her.”
“Silvia and Andrea took excellent care of our two cats. They did a great job of keeping them well fed, spent lots of time playing with them, and kept their litter clean. Our cats really warmed up to them and were in great spirits when we returned from our trip. We’d be so happy to have our babies cared for them again in the future!”
“When she came for the interview she broke down all the information and things to do. She gave us updates while we were away and took good care of our pets and our home.”
“Kristen was amazing. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how Misfit was doing. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely use Kristen again.”
“Alex watched our cat for two weeks over the holidays. He was super responsive, sent regular photos, and took great care of our kitty. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. Would definitely use Alex again!”
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter. We were completely at ease and knew we could relax on vacation knowing Ollie was in great hands. Stephanie was a great communicator, sending us pics every day to show that Ollie was settled in nicely. I can highly recommend Stephanie and we will be using her again for sure.”
“Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was really accommodating with all of my senior cat’s needs. He came from the weekend at her house seeming very relaxed and contented. Thanks again, Courtney!”
About: I have raised 2 dogs of my own, ranging from puppy to senior, both of whom fell on the high-maintenance side of the spectrum whether that be health issues, separation anxiety, or behaviour issues. I have honed my dog-mom skills over the years to a point where I feel confident I could look after just about any four legged friend with care and attentiveness. I work from home most days and walking is one of my all time favourite pass-times, so a dog fits into my lifestyle seamlessly. I can provide any level of communication during my rover window -- whether that be frequent photos and check-ins or a more hands-off approach. I'm flexible around logistics and specific needs so let's chat :) I'm available for boarding any time (aside from 8am to 5pm on Tuesdays). I just need an internet connection. I will make sure to abide by perimeters around maximum time left alone on weekends. I take safety extremely seriously. I'll make sure to match whatever the safety climate your pet is accustomed to (e.g. not leave any food out that could be ninja-ed off the counters etc)
“Madeline took wonderful care of our toy poodle, Ziggy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. This was Ziggy’s first time being left alone with a sitter, so we were a bit nervous—but she immediately put both us and Ziggy at ease. She took him out for a walk, spent quality time playing with him, and gave him lots of cuddles and attention. It was clear from his behavior that he genuinely enjoyed her company and felt comfortable with her. Madeline is incredibly sweet, responsible, and attentive. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience growing up with cats so I’m very comfortable with their routines, personalities, and needs and I’ve provided cat-sitting services for friends and family.
“Kate and Grant are fabulous humans who looked after our kitties as if they were their own. They kept us up to date and let us know how our fur babies were doing. I highly recommend them, and they are now our go-to pet sitters. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will take the best care of your pets, they are the ones!”
“Maia was great checking in on my cat and alleviated a lot of stress for him when I was out of town. Maia is a true animal lover and my cat was comfortable with her right away. She is reliable, communicates well, and follows all the instructions for your pet. I am looking forward to her caring for my cat again.”

“Katy and Rachelle took such great care of Jet with short notice, and their dog Tater graciously shared the space! Jet was happy and healthy when I picked him up 🙂”
About: I have experience caring for pets by ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in a safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I focus on making pets feel secure while keeping owners informed and reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I work from home four days a week and have weekends off. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, and timely feeding throughout the day. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they are never left alone for long. I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment by removing any hazards and maintaining a calm, comfortable space. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions, to keep them stress-free.
“Cassidy is an absolute gem. Booking with her was easy, she was responsive and kind. When we had our meet and greet we immediately felt comfortable and Leo also took to her right away. She sent us pictures and updates during his visit. It was a real peace of mind to know that he was in such good hands. We would definitely book Leo in with Cassidy again and again.”
“Romeo came back happy and we received a couple of updates during the day which was lovely I appreciated the quick communication and ability to book the next day as well as Mackenzie's willingness to introduce her cat slowly and keep an eye on them. Now we know Romeo is OK with them 😊 Will book with her again”
“If I had a 100 stars I would have given those to Bianca. Champ had a great time and Bianca was gracious enough to take his request last minute due to a medical emergency. Thanks so much for everything”
“My experience with Kathy was amazing! She sent tons of daily updates and my pup got all the love and attention! Kathy is super knowledgeable about all things fur baby and will treat your pups like her own! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Sandeep and Priyanka are such good pet sitters. I can trust them fully with my dog, icy. They make sure your dog are well looked after and gets enough walkies. Our icy is always happy with them. Thank you for your service.”
“We were so happy we found Neil when we visited the Island for a hockey tournament. Our little Boston spent 3 days with him and each day we dropped her off she was so excited to see him! Neil is a very kind and caring human and his place looked very neat and tidy. Neil is a 10/10. I would highly recommend his services and we’d go back to him in a heart beat.”
“Kirsten and Guy and their sweet dog Rory are fabulous! They took such good care of KoKo while we had to attend a funeral. They were fabulous hosts and we really appreciate how accommodating, inviting and kind they both are. Rory is such a sweet boy and I know KoKo had a fabulous time getting to know their sweet pup. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“Holly was great. Our dog suffered from some anxiety when Holly tried to take her for a walk. Holly sat with her a settled her down she was very kind and caring through the whole time.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid. As well as taking care of my own pup, I’ve provided dog sitting/ walking services for friends and family and enjoyed every second of it. My schedule is pretty free, I’m working part-time at the moment as well as attending school so I’m available for walks anytime. I’m not offering pet boarding as a service but I’m happy to stop in at your home for walks or house sit as long as I get two weeks notice. I have a sweet pup of my own who gets on well with other dogs. My backyard has the perfect amount of room for play and there’s a dog park about 2 minutes away from me.
“20 on 10 — would recommend. Shirol is a lovely human being, incredibly responsible, and soooo patient. I really can’t rave about her enough. She has been regularly walking my dog, who is a rescue that is highly reactive with strangers. Shirol didn’t blink an eye, intuitively knowing how to position herself as both patient and alpha. I have total trust and peace of mind when Shirol is walking Zuma, as I transition back to working from an office. She has experience as a nurse and it shows, she is one of the kindest people ever and has an natural talent for communicating with humans and pups of all kinds. Thank you, Shirol!”
“We can’t say enough good things about our experience. Our dog is a rescue and can be a bit cautious, but you took the time to build trust and made her feel so comfortable. She gets the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and care. Truly exceptional and highly recommended!”
“Kate was a dream dog walker with my dog Xena. I had adopted her <5 weeks before Kate's walks and she is working through separation anxiety, recovering from a dog attack and learning new routines for walking, bathroom breaks and feeling safe. Kate's communication and organization is more than what you expect. She asked smart questions about commands, changes in training needs and comfort levels (mine and Xena's), and was able to help create a space where Xena had noticeable progress in just 2 visits! Kate was great helping Xena play with other dogs at the park, dealing with stubborn boundary testing leash behavious, letting me know of new behaviours like stick chewing, flagging Xena was ready for new toys / stimulation and giving (and receiving) cuddles. Kate's love for animals, intuitive and caring nature and grounded energy makes her a treat for any dog lover to rely on.”
“Sarah was so great with our dog! She sent pictures of their adventures to keep us updated . It was great knowing our dog was cared for. I highly recommend Sarah as a dog sitter!”
“Taylor is great. She was responsive, on time and organized in addition to being a very nice person.? She was confident with our dog and I felt relaxed knowing she was responsible for her. Thanks so much.”
“Madelaine was so great with my dog! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. My dog Bridget is very anxious and timid to new people but I trusted her in Madelaine’s care and knew Bridget was in good hands. She was very patient with her and Madelaine is a very warm, kind person in general. :)”
“Aisling provided walks and care for Mackie while we were away. Aisling was super dependable, knowledgeable and very caring, even providing updates and pic's of their daily walks. We would highly recommend Aisling.”
“Silvia and Andreas are so wonderful. We have a standing weekly dog walk appointment and we have been so fortunate to have them take care of our dog! Would highly recommend them to anyone seeking care for their animals.”
“Outstanding service. Goose absolutely loved his walks with Lynsay-Dawn! Her knowledge and expertise with large breeds was obvious. We particularly liked how routes were varied. We will definitely reach out to her in the future when we have need.”
About: Hi! I’m Alma, and I feel really lucky to have grown up around dogs - from tiny Chihuahuas to Poodles and mixed breeds. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’ve cared for different types of dogs, including high-energy and intelligent breeds like Border Collies, as well as smaller dogs and poodle mixes. One thing I've noticed is that energetic dogs tend to respond really well to me, and I find it interesting to learn what they enjoy the most. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. That’s why I pay close attention to how they’re feeling and what they need - whether that’s a long, active walk or a calm, relaxed one, always respecting their pace and routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they're doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and my goal is to make sure they feel relaxed, understood, and genuinely at ease in my care. Feel free to reach out if you think we’d be a paw-fect match. I’d love to meet your pup! I’m primarily available for morning walks during the week, and I try to keep a consistent schedule. I also have some flexibility, so feel free to reach out! I’m happy to accommodate when possible :) Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow routines and instructions, and I stay fully attentive throughout every walk. I choose safe, dog-friendly routes, keep dogs securely leashed when needed, and remain aware of my surroundings at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing - giving you peace of mind while they’re in my care.
