“Amazing! Great first experience with Rover. Had a good visit first which helped us feel reassured we made the right choice, then the booking itself went so smoothly - went above and beyond with the comments & photos and really helped with being away! Thanks so much!”

“Emily did a fantastic job sitting Moose and Maverick. Never has anyone got close to them as quickly as she did. Normally they run and hide when someone visits. Emily got them to interact with he on the first visit.she is definitely a cat whisperer. When I came home they greeted me immediately. Which was unusual. They were very friendly, no hissing and stayed with me the rest of the night.I really think they were expecting Emily. I thank Emily for a job well done and look forward to having her look after Moose and Maverick in the future.”

“We’ve had Caroline check in on our cat twice now and she has been fantastic! Very reliable and great communication. We love the report card at the end with updates and pictures. We know our cat is in good hands. It’s nice to have someone check in and replenish food, water and the litter but also give our cat some attention too. Thank you Caroline, we really appreciate you!”


About: Hi! My name is Veronika and I’m a caring and responsible pet lover. I have 4 years of experience taking care of my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, calm, and happy. I always pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive lots of love, patience, and attention. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate different pet care needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I take loving care of my dog every day and make sure she feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She has a regular routine that includes daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also take care of her grooming by brushing her fur, bathing her when needed, trimming her nails, and keeping her ears clean. Making sure she feels safe, healthy, and loved is always my priority.
“Julie was great!!! Kind and caring for our senior cat!! She provided amazing feedback and daily reports and pictures to keep us updated while we were away which was so comforting!! Thanks Julie!!”

“Valerie was able to schedule a walk for Pepsi even on short notice and did such an amazing job with him. She was very professional and caring when it came to understanding Pepsi’s needs and getting to know him. From their initial meet and greet it was clear he liked her and that he would be well taken care of.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time. I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends. I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat and have spent years caring for pets in my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own! I am currently looking for a part-time position for the summer, so I will have flexible dedicated time for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends. I prioritize safety, and clear communication, and compassion when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all routines closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. I keep the environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to behaviour and needs, and I provide regular updates and pictures so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands!
“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.”
“We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)”

“Great communication! Meredith is lovely and truly cared about my cat. I was anxious about leaving her all by herself but I needn't have worried. I got lots of updates and pictures/videos. Everything was perfect when I got home from my vacation. So appreciate you.”

“Richelle was very professional and diligent - she took care of my kitten at the same time every day and provided him with lots of entertainment. I would not hesitate using Richelle again.”

About: I have had pets of my life. I currently own 2 dogs and 2 turtles. I have also taken care of friends' pets when they were travelling alone. I can handle medicines and injections. I have had a dog with leishmania and also took care of a dog with diabetes many times. I can also arrange safe feeding spots and schedules if the dog needs them. I currently have my furred baby and 2 turtles. I have been a dog owner since I was 15 and never stopped since. I have taken care of dogs with different needs, from a diabetes to a rescued dog who had special feeding needs. They are all welcomed and loved. Currently on a hybrid work with alternate days with my husband. I can adapt to any needs as safe space, crate, feeding schedule, medications. I have the will, the possibilities, and the experience.
About: Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Horses, Reptiles.. you name it, I’ve probably had one! Very comfortable around all animals. 15+ years in the animal care industry. Volunteered at local humane societies in both the cat/dog sections. I am currently working a full-time hybrid job but I am very flexible and have previously had success doing both! We can make something work! I always follow owner guidelines for their daily care and routine. I am extremely patient and will make sure your pets have what they need - whether that is a bed time cuddle, or their own space. I love to walk so no walk is too long!
About: I am e-collar trained for dogs which is a unique skill. I come from “dog people” and am said to be a dog whisperer. I have 2 dogs, both poodle/doodle mixes under 24 pounds each. I work from home most days and would plan my boarding accordingly. I am often the friend/family boarding spot. I believe in crates for dogs who need it or are trained that way and for many dogs it’s the safest for them when alone both physically and emotionally. I have one dog (rescue) who eats and sleeps in his crate and another who sleeps sideways across the bed. I no longer have cats but have also grown up with them and can do in home visits. I currently work mostly from home. If you are stuck deciding to do that dinner with a friend or in traffic - just message me, I will run over and take care of your pets potty and meals. If you want your dog to stay at home with others but need drop in or a walk, I’m happy to do that too. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. There is plenty of play, hugs and cuddles for your fur baby. I have plenty of room too if your fur baby likes to be in their own space.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve grown up with them in my home and for the past year I’ve helped care for my cousin’s dog since she was a puppy. I’m comfortable with routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. Your pet will be loved and cared for like one of my own! I work full time, but caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. I plan my days to include morning and evening walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m very mindful of keeping pets on their usual schedule. After work, I’m happy to spend quality time playing, walking, or just keeping them company. On weekends, I have more flexibility and love being able to give extra attention and longer walks. I treat every pet as part of my own routine, not as an add-on, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I provide loving, attentive care either in my pet-friendly building with a fenced dog park, or in my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine closely. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. If your home has a yard, I’m happy to spend time playing outside and helping them burn off energy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: My love for animals led me to start my own rescue, and I’ve been immersed in the rescue world for over 13 years. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of pet sitting for many wonderful clients and their beloved furbabies. *I’m certified by the Canadian Red Cross for First Aid for cats and dogs* I’ve experienced just about every aspect of animal care—from helping train puppies and walking dogs to supporting pregnant mama cats through birth to administering medication and even tube feeding dogs and cats recovering from surgery. My experience and knowledge have given me a deep understanding of how to provide personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—especially when pets need it most. And I truly believe a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I take great care in getting to know everything about your furbaby, whether they are big or small, to make sure they are cared for and pampered. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away, keeping you in the loop every step of the way! I’m dedicating myself to pet sitting on a full-time basis, so pet care is my top priority in my daily routine. This allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship and comfort throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, routine, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific care needs, so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. I also respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away

Emily did a fantastic job sitting Moose and Maverick. Never has anyone got close to them as quickly as she did. Normally they run and hide when someone visits. Emily got them to interact with he on the first visit.she is definitely a cat whisperer. When I came home they greeted me immediately. Which was unusual. They were very friendly, no hissing and stayed with me the rest of the night.I really think they were expecting Emily. I thank Emily for a job well done and look forward to having her look after Moose and Maverick in the future.

I can’t say exactly say why, but I’ve had terrible experiences with finding a reliable sitter that Lucy and I both liked, until now. I was leaving for the Caribbean and needed a reliable caregiver for Lucy that I could trust. Will was and is fantastic. We booked him for this weekend too and again it went seamlessly. There was something that went wrong in my home and I’m so grateful that Will handled it perfectly. Most importantly, he took really great care of Lucy and our home!

As always, Caroline provided awesome care for my two cats while I was away. She tried various ways to coax my kitten out of hiding until he became familiar and friendly with her and catered to my senior cat by finding him and bringing food and treats to him when he would not appear during her visits. Her communication was excellent as well.

Dijla and Shane did such an amazing job watching Bowie and Harlow. They left us detailed reports on how the cats were and exactly what they did with them with their visit. I know Harlow had a little bit of a hard time coming out of her shell, but they did amazing at making sure she was comfortable the entire time. The passion and love they have for watching pets is incredible, and made our time away easier knowing they were in good hands!! :)

We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)

Our cats were well looked after and happy. Communication was also great, rarely I had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a response - which is super important when you leave your pets for a long time. Caitlyn also tried to accommodate extra requests to the best of her ability - like applying ointment to one of our cats. Overall it was a positive experience.

Natasha is a wonderful pet sitter and person!!! My dogs loved her instantly, which is uncommon for them. She is friendly, punctual and flexible. I had peace of mind that my dogs were well cared for went I was on vacation! She is also knowledgeable on e-collar training which is a bonus! Thank you so much Natasha!
