House Sitting Brantford

“I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my pets and in fact my pets loved him so much I was worried when I got home they wouldn't have missed me at all. Brandon cared for them and followed the instructions for the house impeccably. Communication was clear and timely and he even helped me out when my flight was delayed. I would use Brandon a thousand percent again.”

“This was my first time using boarding services on Rover and it was a great experience. Kristina was wonderful to work with, she seemed to really bond with my dog Gracie at their meet and greet, she gave regular updates and I really trusted her to take care of Gracie in my home. Hoping to book with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small critters my entire life. Growing up, I was always the one walking, cleaning, and looking after our family pets. My love for animals led me to study wildlife and become a trained Wildlife Technician, giving me hands‑on experience with animal behavior, safety, and care. Availability • I work in Brantford Monday–Friday, 8:30–4:30 • Available for walks and drop‑in visits before 8 AM, after 4:30 PM, and a 30‑minute check‑in at lunch • Weekend availability varies and can be booked in advance As a Wildlife Technician, I can administer medications — needles included — and keep accurate records for your peace of mind. Your pet is truly precious cargo, and I treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a senior dog and cat that includes walking, bathing, cleaning kitty litter, administering meds, general love and care. I will work around your schedule in the morning, evenings and weekends, outside of my 8:30-4:30 work schedule. I am a loving, confident, organized pet caretaker. I keep a good schedule, have a calm demeanour and ensure your pets and home are protected, clean and loved.

“Camryn did an incredible job with Harvey. He was happy, well taken care of, and I came home to a clean and well cared for home. It made the trip much more relaxing. She also communicated with me on a regular basis and sent pictures which was really nice.”

About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!

“Sarah was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our fur babies!!! It was so nice to know that Chloe & Oreo were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve also raised and cared for a puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while they’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them plenty of love, attention, and care! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With availability across morning, afternoon, and evening hours, I easily schedule visits around feeding times, potty breaks, and playtime. Whether it's an early morning check-in or an evening drop-in, I structure my day to ensure every pet gets consistent, on-time care and attention. When providing drop-in care at a client's home, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and keeping your pets on their normal daily routines. I strictly follow all feeding, playtime, and care instructions, make sure feeding and litter areas stay clean, and always double-check that all doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving. I treat your home with total respect and ensure your pets get quality, individual attention and love every time I visit!

“Great sitter. Robin was communicative and sent lots of pics.”

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.I am currently 25 with a two-year-old dachshund. I have a full-time job with animals 3 days a week (which she is able to come with me too.) when I am not at work I would love to be hanging out with your furry ones. Whether your dog is playful and high-energy or calm and easygoing, I know how to adapt to their personality and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve handled everything from tiny puppies to large, strong breeds, and I’m confident managing leash training, walks, feeding, and cuddle time alike. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away — with updates and photos. I am available 3/4 days a week depending on my work schedule as it is rotational. On my days off I have full availability. I am flexible and adaptive. I am a highly safe and trustworthy individual. I am extremely lucky to be working alongside animals every day. My knowledge is very extensive and forever expanding.

About: Hi! I'm based in Brantford and provide dog walking, drop-in visits, cat care, and overnight house sitting. I've cared for animals throughout my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, medication support, litter box cleaning, or simply company while you're away, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I know how important updates are when you're away from your pet, so I make sure to send photos and messages throughout each booking. My goal is simple: to treat your pets with the same patience, care, and attention I'd want for my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’ve made space in my daily routine for walks and drop-in visits that fit your pet’s schedule. I’m flexible and reliable, whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some mid-day exercise, or a little extra love while you’re out. While I don’t offer overnight stays, I make sure every visit is filled with care, attention, and consistency to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses on every walk, and I’m always alert to our surroundings to keep your pet out of harm’s way. During pet sitting, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow your instructions closely and treat your home with respect—like it’s my own. You can count on me to be reliable, gentle, and fully focused on your pet’s well-being at all times.

“Kassi has watched our cat a few times now. We always return to a happy, healthy boy. She has been great!”

About: Since as long as I can remember I have loved all animals. I have owned and grown up with many different animals and dogs all my life. Owned a few different dog breeds from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. I currently own 2 senior Ridgebacks which are my precious babies. Growing up with dogs all my life has aloud me to gain the experience, patience and confidence to teach basic training commands and read body language fairly well. I also had the privilege of volunteering at a non profit dog rescue program where I was in charge of walking, feeding, providing medication and keeping the area clean. Animals deserve the best love and care♡ I am currently working a morning shift but will be available in the evenings Monday to Friday after 6 PM or weekends any time! 🙂 I can keep your furry pet company, play in the yard, take them for walks or even load them in the car and take them to a trail near by! Even cook a special meal! Anything they are needing to keep our furry friend happy🙂

About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.

“Very impressed with Jessica! She came on short notice and was amazing with our little pack ! Highly recommended and will definitely be a repeat customer !! :)”

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, confident energy and my belief that every dog deserves love, safety, and stimulation — even when you can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you. I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, various types of lizards and chicks. I work full time very close to home. I am available most weekends and evenings for walks or any other needs you may have ! Large unfenced yard Lots of walks, long leashes for free exploration. Can take to dog parks if needed. At home, all animals are allowed on the furniture. Bed included.

“Thank you Chloe for your great care of our dogs and cat while we were away. We appreciated the updates and photos and excellent care. When we got home we could tell the dogs were not at all stressed about us being gone, they were happy! We will be sure to book again in future!”

“Linda was great with my dog Coco. She provided photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated. Coco was well taken care of and I would definitely book with Linda again.”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

“Lakshmi was great. Our animals loved her, and she sent us a lot of pictures and videos. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Highly recommended”
