“Michelle did a great job visiting our cats while we were away on a two-week vacation. She helped us look after their food, water, and litter. The daily pics were great and we could tell our cats liked her. We will hire her next time we go away. 100% recommend.”


“Lorraine took fantastic care of our cat, Piper, while we were away. She went above and beyond—spending extra time with her, sending detailed daily updates and photos, and making sure she felt safe and loved. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Piper was in such great hands. Lorraine was a pleasure to communicate with throughout the entire process. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”


“Emilee is really good with cats, she took care of our cat with a lot of patience and affection. Our cat was so happy to see her everyday, they even took selfie together, super sweet! We are happy we found Emilee and would love to have her around for our cat when we go traveling again.”


“This was my first experience with Rover and Jeff was phenomenal. We needed help walking Wilson… a large, exuberant 10 month old puppy (while his mom was away) and Jeff was the perfect fit. For two weeks he was reliable and punctual … sending daily updates and photos … always replied promptly to msgs too.Thank you Jeff … definitely recommend you and would ask for your services again in the future.”



“Alena is an excellent sitter. She took care of my two rabbits over 1.5 months. Her weekly visits had been really helpful while I was on holiday, she did a great job on clearing the Litter, feeding the bunnies and cuddling them!”


“Caroline was absolutely wonderful with our cat Pete. She was very attentive to him and able to modify her affection based on his response to that. We had a wonderful trip knowing that she was hanging out with Pete each day and sending us photos and updates. I would recommend her as well as book her again!”


“Meredith was reliable and i loved the pics and updates she sent during her visits. She also made sure my fussy cat ate before leaving so I didn't need to worry about her while I was away. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: I have extensive experience working with complex dog behaviors. I’m highly skilled at reading canine body language and use calming signals, patience, and empathy to build trust and ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable in my care. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who are reactive to people or other animals, and I’m confident in my ability to work safely and compassionately with all behavior types. No matter the breed or temperament, I’m committed to making your pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, topical treatments, or insulin injections—for both dogs and cats. You can feel confident knowing your pet’s medical needs will be handled with care, precision, and compassion. Dog walking and pet drop ins are currently my full time job! I am committed to caring for every animal I get the pleasure of meeting! I am currently not offering any in home boarding in my own house as my pup is very dog selective. I am available for pet drop in service, where I will feed, water, administer medication, and love on your pet!
“Julie was extremely flexible and accommodating for my pet care needs. I needed more than 2 weeks of care covered in a pinch and she was able to make it happen. Julie was thorough to make sure Cosmo was well taken care of, and he always looked super happy on his walks. I’m sure Cosmo will miss you Julie. Thank you!”


About: ** Specializes in care for small to medium sized dogs from puppy to senior stages. Only accepts ONE family at a time. ** I've had different types of pets in my lifetime. From dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, a turtle, you name it! I'm currently a dog mom to the sweetest Boston Terrier named Zoë! She doesn't bite, rarely barks, and enjoys playing with other dogs! As a dog owner myself, I understand the stress you may have leaving a loved one in someone else's care. I promise to give each pet my love, attention, and care - similar to what I would wish for Zoe if the situation were to be reversed. 🫶🏼 I work from home Monday to Friday. I'm able to make time for your pet whether they need to go for a walk, need to be fed, or just need extra attention and cuddles! 🥰 I live in a house with a fenced yard. I also have access to a car 24/7. I only accept one family at a time because your dog's safety and personalized care and attention is what matters to me most. I want this to be a second home for your pet; a space that is safe, comfortable, and full of love.

About: FOLLOW THIS LINK TO GET $20 OFF YOUR FIRST WALK WITH ME (https://www.rover.com/sit/andrep49918) I've been taking care of friends, relatives and neighbours dogs since I was a child and I've always loved it. I find joy in being around dogs and taking care of their needs whatever they may be. I’ve been on Rover for over a year now and I have gained valuable knowledge and experience in pet care with countless satisfied clients. I am currently residing in Burlington, ON where I grew up after years of living in Toronto. I have a lot of free time while I work towards my career in Photography/Videography and I only work my part time job 2/3 times a week. I'm very responsible and take animal care very seriously. I do whatever is needed to ensure the dog and their owner(s) are happy and comfortable.

About: My family and I started watching dogs on Rover after putting down our 16 year old lab Karma. Karma was loved and loving everyday of her life. We remember how hard it was to find someone to care for her when we were away. Our hearts and home are open to sharing our lives with your loved one(s). I’m currently on disability looking to stay active. If boarding, the Orchard has many friendly dogs along our neighbourhood hikes and there’s a forested trail all dogs love. With the three of us, we have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet(s) health and happiness. We have a small fenced backyard with a grass area and patio set dogs love to sleep on. Our three story townhome has hardwood flooring stairs up to the main floor where there's room for bedding, toys, water, food and running back and fourth. We love playing hide and go seek with treats. Upstairs, our bedrooms have extra room for your dog's bedding and they’re welcome on our beds and furniture. Please let us know if you don’t want that.

About: Since I was a child I have always had at least 1 dog in my home! As a work from home mom, I am able to provide all the the care and attention your dog may need. We are a family that absolutely loves dogs and there is no doubt your dog will receive a loving environment whilst with us. I am currently working part-time from home and so am able to give your pup the attention it needs during the day and go out for regular walks. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced in back yard and have a friendly 4 year old cockapoo who will keep your pup company. I am happy to be flexible when it comes to the sleeping arrangement of each pup, if you would prefer me to crate your dog at night, I will gladly do that.

About: Hi! My name is Kat and I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 yrs old. Both with my family's dog and those of neighbours and friends. Dog care has always come naturally to me and I have always been interested. I have also trained dogs in the past for friends and family. I rescued a senior dog a few years ago and am sensitive to their care as well (he has since passed away). Loving and caring for my dog Brody is what brought me to Rover, inspiring me to offer care for other pet owners in need. I am responsible, reliable, considerate and full of love to give. I will gladly play with and care for your furbaby and take them for short walks as needed. Please send me a message if you are interested :) I work full time in education and for now I am only available on Friday evening and the weekends. In July/August I will have a lot more flexibility. I live in a smaller space, 720 sq ft. I have a living and kitchen area connected but otherwise I close the doors to the bedrooms office and bathroom while I'm away. If necessary I can also crate. I have a small front yard with a patch of grass, however the fence is short, (only 4 ft tall) which is why I am limited to medium size dogs. I will always accompany your pet outside and will use a leash unless proven unecessary.

About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old. So that's over 50 years of loving and living with my fur babies. I currently have two dogs - one 11 year old Pomeranian mix and a 3 year old Bichon Frisée mix. I volunteer at the Burlington Humane Society in the cat area doing cleaning and maintenance. Also, I have gotten my older dog certified as a therapy dog and together we visit a dementia clinic once a week. It is enrichening to all - the patients, my dog and myself. I work part time from home which gives me more spare time to spend with as many animals as possible since I find it enjoyable and very rewarding. Since we have two dogs I understand the need to balance exercise and rest as to not overstimulated the dogs. I will be with your dog during feeding time to properly monitor their food and water intake and ensure that they are well fed and comfortable. When out on walks your dog will be leashed at all times (with NO exceptions). Also, we will not take your dog to any dog parks. Any play time with toys will be supervised to ensure safety - e.i. Toys are not chewed and eaten The more information that you are able to provide the better as that will enable me to properly care for your dog. Some pet parents like to provide a written copy of all their dog’s information which is very useful to have as an easy reference. This is not mandatory as long as your dog’s profile on Rover is as updated as possible. I work part time from home and have a lot of spare time to play and care for your fur baby. I would be available during the day for walks and my home would be open to care for your pet anytime during the week. My husband and I live in a condo unit and although we have no back yard we walk our dogs at least 3 times a day around the neighborhood. There are many walking paths in my area and we are very close to Bronte Park. We have two small dogs (male 11 years old Pomeranian mix and female 3 year old Bichon Frisée mix) so your dog would have playmates during his/her stay.
