About: Hi there! I’m Carlie! 👋 I've been a pet owner my whole life, which has given me a genuine love for both dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of training playful puppies and even fostering several at once, focusing on potty training and behavior. I particularly adore dachshunds and other small breeds—they truly have a special place in my heart. Cats are just as important to me, and I know how to give them the care they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quality snuggles, your feline companions will be in great hands. I’m also a nature lover, so I enjoy taking long walks in the afternoons and evenings, ensuring your pets get plenty of exercise and fresh air. You can trust that your pets’ happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m a freelance commercial photographer and I make my own schedule which leaves lot of free time during my day to look after your fur babies! I use pet friendly candles + air fresheners and cleaning products. Providing enrichment toys for safe play time, as well as socializing with other dogs outdoors.

About: Hi there! My name is Sam! I have been caring for cats and dogs professionally since 2019. I have always been an animal lover, from slimy and scaly to soft and fluffy. Every animal deserves tender love and care, especially while their family is away. It can be scary for pets when their family is away and I understand how a gentle, patient and calm approach can ease that discomfort for pet parents and their pet. Safety is my number 1 priority and I’m a big believer in loss prevention, meaning the pets I care for are always secured. Never off leash or in areas that could be a potential danger. I also understand that animals have mental and physical enrichment needs, I aim to stimulate their brains as well as get them moving physically. I have an almost 9 year old dog named Toby, he is a shih tzu mix. I have been caring for dogs and cats professionally since 2019 so Toby is happy to share his house and backyard with friends! I ask that your dog is dog friendly to ensure that both pups are happy during the stay. I also have a 9 year young cat, named Phoebe. She is comfortable with sharing her home with dogs that are happy to give her space. Even if your dog hasn’t been around a cat before I’m happy to do a trail and see how your pup responds, some dogs can be easily redirected and we can make it work! Some dogs have a higher prey drive so redirecting can be harder. A meet and greet prior to a stay will be important to ensure all parties are comfy! I do work a full time job. My days are typically opposite to my partner, so your pup will never be home alone long :) Safety is my number one priority with every animal I care for. I cannot imagine what I would do if I lost either of my pets. Our backyard is fully fenced and I check often for imperfections such as holes in or under the fence. Your dog will always be on leash while out and about, even if your pup has great recall I will never let them off leash unless in a secure area, such as a dog park or other fenced in area. We use long lines on hikes to provide the off leash experience.

About: Lifetime of experience, and a passion for learning! Personalized care to ensure you pets needs are met. Puppy training, loose leash walking, basic pet safety, to special needs and senior care. Providing support and real updates for your pets health and until it's time to say good-bye <3 Pet care is my life and I love meeting new clients, especially cats that are shy . My schedule is flexible to suit your pet's individual needs. Your pets safety is my #1 concern, from the moment I enter the house, during our walks and returning back home again. Open communications with clients, to provide consistency with your fur baby, makes for a happy, healthy life for everyone. Respect for your loved one and belongings is my priority.

About: This is our first time getting on Rover but both my husband and I are pet parents and frequently pet sit for a number of friends and family when they travel. I’m an experienced pet parent with two dogs of my own, aged 5 and 6. They’re very friendly and loving and I am very familiar with the care, routine and attention dogs need every day. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level — I am happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they’re happy and settled. Your pet will have plenty of space and attention with me. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs some space to play and get some fresh air. It’s a non-smoking household and because I live with my husband and mother-in-law, someone will always be home and your pet won’t be left alone for longer than 20 mins if at all. I’m comfortable providing them with regular walks and potty breaks. My dogs are given pee breaks every 4 hours and two walks in the morning and at night right before we sleep. I’m also comfortable with maintaining consistent feeding schedules, playtime, and providing oral medication (what’s not in the list is obvious but I’m also great at cuddles and companionship). My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the pack when staying with us. I work a full time job but I’m mostly remote (I’m lucky). So I’m home throughout and able to give pets plenty of attention and regular breaks. My own dogs are already part of my daily routine with walks, feeding, playtime, and endless cuddles built in. On the rare occasion that I need to go into the office (like once a month but it’s very rare), my husband is home and helps care for the dogs. He is an equally attentive and loving pet parent so your fur baby will have someone around them to keep them safe, loved and cared for. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in a safe space. I have used rover to find sitters for my dogs too and it’s a top priority. Is the house truly dog friendly - no slippery floors, food lying around, chocolate wrappers, sharp edges… I scan for the little things. That is the exact level of attention I put into my home to make sure my dogs (and yours) are comfortable. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard so dogs can enjoy some outdoor time without having the risk of them wandering off. Our home is non-smoking and you can be sure that someone will always be in the house with the dogs, at all times. Before a stay, I’m happy to learn about your dogs routine, personality, feeds, comfort level, and any special instructions so I can keep their experience as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m also very mindful of introductions between dogs so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and has the space they need. Most importantly, I want you to have complete peace of mind when you’re away. So if you like, I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos (I personally like these) and follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.

“Great communication and highly recommend Olivia! She made us feel comfortable that Rocco was well looked after while we were away ! Thank you so much !”

About: Hi everyone! Im a firefighter and paramedic which means I work shift work with a schedule that varies weekly. I’m looking to fill the gaps with some animal time! Im available mainly during the week and some weekends. I grew up in a small town north of Toronto and recently purchased my first home in Bowmanville with my boyfriend Dan. We have our own Sheppard mix named Beau who is super friendly and loves other dogs. I am mostly looking to fill my days off with dog walks or drop ins. Let me know how I can help and we can work something out!

About: Hi Pet Owners; NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I am an elementary school teacher by day and a dog walker/sitter by night. Dogs are and have always been my passion. For many years, I have provided daily care for pets while their owners were away, and took responsibility for routine duties (walks, putting out fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) while owners were at work. I understand that life gets hectic, so I like to support pet owners by vacuuming pet hair in the house, and bathing and grooming their fur babies. In the past, I have watched and walked anxious dogs. My philosophy is to use positive reinforcement to encourage dogs to display more acceptable behaviours, more frequently. I am fully available to attend to all of your animal's needs starting Friday night until Sunday, holidays and extended stays over the summer. Please check my availability as my summer is filling up. I live in a condo in Bowmanville. The building has a large courtyard where your dog can interact with other dogs if they like dog interactions. I also live close to several trails and safe roads with sidewalks. In my neighbourhood, there are many schools with large fields where I can take your dog to exert their energy.

“Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.

“Just an overall amazing experience with prompt service and professionalism from Dibakar. I contacted Him while I was away and he was able to accommodate to my schedule to complete a few visits per week, sent photos, showed my cats some love and did a great job cleaning up! Highly recommend and will definitely have Dibakar as my go-to!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and a proud dog mom to a beautiful, extremely friendly and social Bernedoodle who knows over 10 tricks (he’s basically a little genius). I’ve also babysat friends’ dogs many times and genuinely love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels at home and happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I’m big on photo updates, daily check-ins, and keeping you in the loop. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I work from home, so I’m around all day to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My own pup keeps me active and on a consistent schedule, so adding another furry friend to the mix is an easy (and fun!) fit for our day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I do slow, supervised introductions with my own friendly, well-trained dog and stick to each pup’s routine to help them feel at home. My space is clean, calm, and dog-friendly, and I provide regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and happ

“Tricia is been so responsible and left on us very positive impact. She took care of our cat very well and she was punctual responsible and very caring. I will definitely use her services again and also recommend other to try.”

About: As a passionate animal lover with extensive experience, I've had the pleasure of working with all types of dogs. My journey began with a year at a veterinary hospital, where I honed my skills while pursuing a vet tech career. This hands-on experience gave me invaluable insights into canine health and care. Beyond the clinic, I've worked on farms, which enriched my understanding of different breeds and their unique needs. Personally, I've had the joy of raising a Chow Chow, and I currently share my home with two adorable little ones—a Pomeranian and a Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. Though I no longer work in the veterinary field, my passion for animals remains unwavering. With a blend of professional training and personal experience, I bring a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to both dog walking and pet sitting. Your furry family member will be in loving, capable hands with me! I offer flexible availability to accommodate your pet care needs. I am available Thursday through Monday, ensuring ample time to provide dedicated care for your furry friends. While I am in school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can still manage check-ins on those days, with scheduling spaced out to fit around my classes. Whether you need dog walking or pet sitting, I am committed to providing reliable and loving care every day of the week. In your home, I prioritize your pet's comfort and well-being. I adhere closely to their routine and preferences, ensuring a seamless transition and minimizing any stress. From feeding and playtime to walks and cuddles, I provide personalized care tailored to your pet's needs. Rest assured, your furry family member will receive attentive and loving care in the familiar surroundings of your home.

About: Ever since I was 8 years old I always enjoyed taking care of our multiple family cats by feeding and spending quality time with them. I cared for my cat mango for 17 wonderful years and he meant the world to me. I also enjoy spending time with our family dog who we've had for 15 years. I would take him for walks, feed him, pet-sit him while my parents were away, and play with him at the park in his younger years. I have experience litter training cats and my former pet rabbit. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have many year's experience it's something I am passionate about. I also have a flexible work schedule which allows me to set my own routines without much interference. I've cared for pets for many years growing up as a child and into my adulthood, therefore it's something I really enjoy doing. In client's homes I would treat their pet as if it were my own and ensure they get the best care possible during the visit.

About: I have 4 cats at home, and 1 even loves going outside for leashed walks or car rides and camping trips. I also work for a pet store, so I interact with dogs of all ages and breeds every day, including potential high stress situations. I work full time at a pet store, but on my days off I’d love to walk with your furry family member to get out some energy and give them some exercise. I work at a pet store, and do rigorous monthly safety training to make sure all of our furry friends and our humans stay safe.

“Fantastic per usual!!”

About: When I was younger I had a dog named Rascal. He was a golden retriever that I trained to become a therapy dog. Actually, believe it or not, I trained other people on how their dogs should behave to become therapy dogs. I don't do that now but it was a great experience. I'm a personal trainer, most of my clients want to train in the morning or evening, so I'm usually free during the day. I go for walks most days anyways so I figure, why not help out someone and their dog and make a little extra on the side, no matter the weather. I'm a professional and safety always comes first, no matter if it's a person or a dog, your pet's in safe hands. Pets are family, so they need to be taken care of.

About: I am an RN. Looking to spend time with animals. I love to walk and be outdoors and love playing with dogs! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog on a walk and being able to have a visit with them and learn about them from their owners. I would love spending time with them and keeping them company while their owners are at work or on vacation. I had a dog, Basher, who was a Boston Terrier for 14 years so am very comfortable caring for puppies to elderly dogs. I’m responsible and have a vehicle to transport to and from the lake for nice walks. And to the vet in case of emergencies. I have multiple days off during the week and am looking to fill my time hanging out with dogs. My schedule changes week to week I have a fenced yard and love going for walks to the park. I like to hang out around the neighbourhood and play. I can do in home or my home babysitting.

About: Veterinary assistant who has worked in boarding facilities pet sitting and vet clinics for the past 20 + years and loves all pets big and small I have a fully fenced in back yard and crates available for nap time if needed and no other dogs live here at the moment I like to spend as much time as possible with pets who are in my care either with regular walks or one on one time. During the week while I am at work, they are walked before I leave and get let outside for mid day breaks in the backyard .I treat all pets as if they are my own family I have a fully fenced backyard and never leave your dog unattended. If they are crate trained then I do have a few that can be used for when I go out. When I am in your home they get lots of cuddle time and daily walks and always follow whatever routine they are used to in regards to feeding etc
