About: I'm definitely an animal lover & genuinely care about animals. I grew up with many pets. I work full time, part of the time from home. I also have a 15 year old who really loves dogs in particular, and they participated in the OMHS's weekly Kindness Club and several weeks of OMHS summer camps over the years. We are offering dog walking, including any activities you would suggest we do with your dog to make them happy & healthy. I am available some of the hours when I am working from home during the weekdays 8:30 am-4:30 pm, as well as after work in the late afternoons, and on weekends all day. I am consciencious, considerate, dedicated, loving care provided for your pet. I am reliable and responsible. Respectful of your needs and requests for your pet.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously cared for my Bedlington Terrier for five years, and I currently have a British Shorthair at home. Having lived with both dogs and cats has helped me understand how different their personalities, routines, and needs can be. Dogs may need more active interaction, walks, play, and companionship, while cats often need patience, consistency, and respect for their personal space. I am responsible, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also pay attention to changes in appetite, behaviour, energy level, or anything that seems unusual. Most importantly, I try to care for each pet according to their own personality and routine rather than assuming every animal wants the same kind of attention. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to fit pet-care visits into my daily routine. Depending on availability, I can provide morning, daytime, or evening drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I will do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, play, and care routines. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and respect both the pet and the home environment. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, food and water are provided as requested, and the pet’s space is kept clean. During each visit, I pay attention to behaviour, appetite, energy level, and anything unusual. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after visits so pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and comfortable while they are away.
“Abbey is so sweet and caring the girls love when she comes to walk and play with them. She is very professional and always on time! Very responsible and respectful, hopefully we can have her overnight to sit them while we are away!”
“Nicole was great : She has made several visits to my house . I have 4 Standard Poodles and, I feel 100% comfortable leaving my 4 in her care : She sends updates, pictures with each visit. She truly loves dogs: Thanks Nicole”

About: I currently take care and walk my friend’s dogs. I feed, take them in long walks and take them for a pup cup as well for being very good boys :) I also have a 6 year old tabby cat who I love very much and I give her lots of well deserved pets every day! Additionally, I’m a behaviour analyst and have lots of knowledge on dog training. I would love to also play and take care of your babies while you’re away! I currently work 9-5 for my day job. However I’m available in the evenings and all weekends. With notice I could also do early mornings. I have a home with a fence yard. I only have one cat who can be separated as needed. I keep a tidy home environment
About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve fostered and adopted dogs, cats, and small animals, and as a pet store owner, I’ve gained valuable experience in pet care, behavior, and nutrition. I’m confident working with puppies, seniors, and all temperaments. Being a student gives me a very open and flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I can adjust my availability to suit your pet’s routine. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safely leashed during walks, and ensure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure.

“Emy was wonderful. Very professional. Treated my cat as her own. She truly is an animal lover. I would not hesitate in using Emy again should I require services. If you are looking for someone special to look after your pets Emy definitely is that person”
“Toni was exceptional for drop-in visits on my cat Willow. She was attentive, professional, and provided detailed updates every day. Toni has a wonderful energy and my cat loved her immediately from the meet and greet. I would definitely rebook Toni if I ever need care for Willow again.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
About: What sets me apart is that I work from home, so dogs get consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. I take dogs out about every three hours to help keep them active, comfortable, and accident-free. I have lived with and trained dogs for most of my life, and I enjoy caring for dogs with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a steady routine, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience. I have an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who is friendly with other dogs, and my home in Milton is puppy-proofed for safety. When I am home, dogs have access to the house and can relax, play, and stay close by. I want each dog to feel comfortable and well cared for during their stay. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Dogs go out for walks or potty breaks about every three hours to help keep them happy, comfortable, and accident-free. Because I am home throughout the day, pets get regular attention, supervision, and companionship. Since I work from home, dogs are supervised throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment where pets can stay comfortable and feel secure. I follow each owner’s care instructions closely, keep a consistent routine for walks and breaks, and make sure pets have space to relax, play, and stay safe.
About: I didn’t grow up with a family pet but they have always been a part of my life. During COVID, I took in my elderly neighbours King Charles while her husband was in the hospital. We quickly became the best of friends and that little dog changed my life. I now have my own 2 year old King Charles who is so much fun. Despite this being my first pet, I decided to self train instead of puppy school. It was definitely an interesting experience but I was able to learn so much more about caring for a pet and personalizing the training. Tucker is a little ball of energy who loves endless fetch, and dog that wants to be friends, and any human who will cuddle with him. I have a flexible schedule so able to help out during most days, evenings and weekends. Having a little puppy ensures we are outside on lots of walks and trips to the beach! I live in a condo in the Center of downtown Burlington. I have space for a crate if that is needed for your pet. The house is fully puppy proofed with endless toys! I am minutes from the seawall, beaches and dog friendly parks.
“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with my kitty! She took such great care of her, making sure she was fed, played with, and received all of her medications. I especially appreciated how attentive and gentle she was, and how she kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in such caring hands while I was away. Nikki was reliable, kind, and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Shannon took excellent care of my brand new puppy! She provided me constant updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing while I was at work which allowed me to go about my day knowing my puppy was in excellent hands. Will definitely be booking Shannon again and recommending her to friends and family!
Lorraine did a drop-in visit for our puppy Ollie when our usually sitters were unavailable and we will definitely book with her again in the future. She responds to messages in a timely manner and the detail that she put into Ollie’s visit card was unmatched. Not to mention her genuine care for Ollie… she was doing a 30min visit for us and she ended up staying a little extra because Ollie had fallen asleep on her lap after some playtime. She was also great when initially meeting Ollie at our meet and greet. She gave him time to warm up to her as a stranger in his home and it wasn’t long before she was getting some kisses from him. I highly recommend booking with Lorraine.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
