“Quinn went above and beyond caring for our anxious puppy. They were patient, attentive and playful, which helped build trust quickly. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Quinn was also great at keeping us updated and responded kindly to our worried messages.”


“Morgan and Roberto were absolutely fantastic house and dog sitters. They were easy to communicate with, came to meet our pup before their stay, and took exceptional care of our home and dog. I felt very safe with them having our dog and they left the house immaculate. Our dog has particular needs with medication and walks and they were attentive to her care. I highly recommend them!”


“Tanya was wonderful! I couldn’t ask for more as a sitter to our dog. She was responsive and communicative, very caring and attentive to our dog’s needs, and very reliable and responsible. She took lots of pictures during her stay of our dog and all their activities which was so appreciated! This was my first time using Rover and Tanya made it a wonderful experience for us. We’ve already booked her again. Thank you so much Tanya!”


“Nasrin was a fantastic Pet sitter and we can’t wait to hire her again. All of our pets were happy and healthy and we got regular photo and video updates from her. Thank you so much for such a seamless housesit!”


“Debbie was fantastic watching our two high energy cattle dog mixes for three weeks while we were away. The dogs absolutely loved her and she provided us great updates with photos every day. She left the house clean and was very responsive to all of our messages. We would recommend her and would be happy to have her care for our dogs again in the future!”


About: Animals have been my 1st love all of my life. I'll never pass a dog or cat (or squirrel 😊) without saying hi. I grew up with dogs and was blessed with my heart dog, Karma, for 14 years. I've also been lucky to share my home with some very unique cats. As a former veterinary technician I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and you can trust me to take care of any special needs your pup may have. I've been a volunteer dog walker for the SPCA and am currently volunteering with the amazing organization ElderDog. I'm semi-retired so I have a lot of time and love to give! I can't wait to meet your best friend! I'm semi-retired and set my own schedule so I can accommodate your pet's routine. I'm available 7 days a week and can provide care for varied lengths of stay. Your pet's safety and security is my number one priority. I will take care of them as my own and maintain their familiar routines and surroundings. Keeping your home clean and secure is important to me. I'm also a bit of a plant whisperer so I'd be happy to keep those babies happy too.

“We were a little concerned about leaving our senior dog Haida with someone new. Alyana came for a meet & greet & she was absolutely lovely & put us at ease. On the evening of her sit with Haida , when we came home she said he was very good & eventually warmed up to her. She is really very good & I would highly recommend her.”


About: I have a dog back home named Tonga. I potty trained him, leash trained and taught him many tricks! He grew up to be such an amazing and loving dog :) As of right now my schedule is very open. I am free pretty much any time during the week. I am an actor and work is few and far between right now. I am not offering pet sitting services at this time just dog walking. But I will most likely open up to it in the future.

“Lucas watches Penny all the time but this is the first time he’s watched her overnight. Lucas went above and beyond with Penny’s care and left the apartment so clean, and all the bed linen washed before I got home. He’s the best!”


About: I have always had cats in my life since I was literally born. I learned a lot about cat behaviours and illnesses, needs and different personalities. I cared for multiple cats at once, I helped pregnant momma cats and cared of newborn kittens as well. I also had special need cats who needed treatments. I learned how different they can act and how to manage stressed animals. I am a very caring and calm, soft person. I do not do harsh movements or anything the animals are not comfortable with, but I would not hesitate to save them from any danger. I understand the proper hygienic way to pet care, I can deep clean litter boxes or food bowls. I make sure their food and water is clean. I am working as a freelance digital artist with a very flexible work schedule. You can contact me any time, I will answer immediately or in a few hours max. If the cat is indoor cat, I make sure every time at the door that they will not leave. I check windows and cupboards every time so they will not get trapped or lost. I also take care that unsafe items are not reachable for them. If the cat is allowed outside I make sure to check they are around and will not leave if they are not allowed to. I can keep them on a leash and make sure they are not in danger of other animals, or any harmful items, weather conditions.

About: I provide thoughtful, reliable care for both dogs and cats, always treating them with the same love and attention I give my own pets. Whether I’m welcoming a dog into my home or visiting your cat in theirs, my focus is always on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. I have experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior animals who need a little extra patience and support. I follow your care instructions closely and can assist with things like feeding routines, administering oral medications, playtime, exercise, and of course, keeping things clean and tidy. Each animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet is active and social or quiet and independent, I offer calm, attentive care so you can feel confident while you’re away. I can care for your pet any day of the week because I work from home full-time. Your pet will always have company, love, attention, and supervision. Pet care is a personal responsibility I take seriously. I’m always home, creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for the pets I care for. I live with a friendly Beagle and a baby, so our home is clean, organized, and set up with both pets and children in mind. I welcome dogs into my home and treat them like family—giving them attention, structure, and plenty of love. For cats, I offer care in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all routines closely, provide gentle, attentive care, and make sure your pet always feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. You can trust me to treat your pet with the same love and respect I give my own.

“Esther was very easy to communicate with, and despite a bit of a hiccup on my end… she took great care of Mona today and from the updates I can see Mona had a great time with Esther! Would definitely ask Esther for help again in the near future.”


“Jenny took care of our anxious dog while we were away. She is a great communicator and shared daily updates and photos. This was amazing because we're always worried about Benny when we leave. He looked relaxed and settled with Jemny watching him.”


“Jacqueline was absolutely amazing. I had her stay in my home while I was away for the weekend to watch my little reactive dog and she went above and beyond. She responded to my inquiry in a very timely manner and was incredibly communicative and came over prior to the visit in order to meet my little guy. I’ve never had someone in my home to watch my dog so I was very hesitant at first but Jacqueline made my first experience a phenomenal one. She even went as far as washing the sheets and making the bed! 10/10 would recommend and I would definitely have her watch my baby again.”


“This was the first time we were looking for someone to look after our dog while we were away for our honeymoon. We were at first apprehensive having someone that wasn’t family or a friend look after our sweet dog, Mia. However, as soon as we met Daniella, she instantly put us at ease. Daniella would send daily pictures of Mia which made our day(s) and we could tell from the pictures that Mia felt very comfortable with Daniella, which often takes a little while for Mia to warm up to someone. Mia even had an evening with an upset stomach but Daniella kept us updated and we knew Mia was in good hands. We would highly recommend Daniella but not too much as we don’t want her to always be fully booked, so we can book her!!”


About: I've truly loved animals all my life. I became a pet parent in 2019 and started fostering two years ago, where I gained experience with pets of all temperaments — including anxious cats who needed extra patience and care. I also completed a grooming course and started working as a professional groomer in April 2025. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I provide calm, gentle, and loving care. I am currently working part time as a pet groomer - Pet care fits into my routine every day, as I spend a lot of time with them if needed. I make sure to attend to their needs and requests, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. In my home, I ensure my pets receive playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I provide a consistent routine for feeding, grooming, and medical care when needed. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow a similar approach by maintaining their routine, offering walks, playtime, and monitoring their health and comfort. I also ensure their space is safe and clean, and I communicate closely with pet owners to make sure all specific needs are met.

“We hired Tamara to dog sit our puppy on our wedding night. Our dog had just sustained a foot injury and was bandaged up from the vet. On top of that he is a diabetic dog and requires daily insulin injections so we needed someone to take care of him at our wedding venue. Tamara did such an amazing job caring for todo on our big day, allowing us to soak in the night and relax. Every time we came to check in on him he looked so happy and calm. It was a long night and Tamara was so attentive to all his needs making sure he was comfortable in his current state. I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for someone to take special care of their beloved pet(s). She truly is a life saver !”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. I have quite a lot of experience house sitting and pet sitting from friends and family, just not professionally. Your pet's safety and happiness is my utmost priority. I am currently working part time and I am a part time student as well. However I have quite a lot of free time regardless of that. I am usually free mid-day, afternoons, and evenings. I am a consent first type of pet sitter. My goal is to build trust and allow for pets to choose to approach me through the promise of treats, pets, etc. I am not super active, however I am huge fan of walks and adventuring.

I was nervous about leaving my senior dog with a sitter when I went on vacation. Blake & Carly were wonderful with my pup. I got daily updates and photos. I know he was very comfortable with them and I felt that his needs were met. I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worries. I would highly recommend Blake & Carly.

Angelina wsa great with my cat Percy. I received lots of picture of him and it was clear Angeina interacted with Percy and gave him all the loving he craved. Angelina was also good at asking questions while I was away if she needed any additional information. I will definately be caling on Angelina again.

Angela did extensive dog and house sitting for us over several weeks when we were away. She provided excellent care for our puppy, with daily updates. Angela had great questions, and took the initiative to make sure our home and pup were all cared for. I would highly recommend her!

Vitória was an amazing and lovely cat sitter. Our cats Bacana and Cleo felt very comfortable with her and I am pretty sure they love the time with her! She also sent us a lot of pics, videos and news frequently, giving us peace of mind while we're out. She took care of Bacana's daily meds with patience and love, and he's not the easiest cat to take pills. Vi is very sweet and a true cat lover. We'll definitely reach out again next time we need a sitter. 😺😺

We had a dog sitter cancel on us last minute before a 10 day trip. We booked Ana Maria 4 days before we left! We have a dog with anxiety and some other quirks. Ana was amazing with Fabi! Ana’s calm and warm personality suited Fabi. We received pictures and updates throughout our trip. We came home to a tidy home and a happy dog. Thanks Ana! Without hesitation we’d book Ana Maria again.

Keja and Lauren were great! They took great care of Sparky while we were away in Japan. We were kept in the loop about how Sparky was doing and Sparky was in great spirits when we returned. All in all a great experience from start to finish. We would definitely recommend them and love to use them again for future trips.

Megan is a rockstar! She was a pleasure to communicate with and she asked great questions ahead of time. Taking care of a 12-week puppy for the day is not always easy, but I appreciate that she took on the challenge! She not only arrived early, but she respected our puppy schedule and sent great updates on their adventures. Highly recommend!

Adema was very attentive and caring towards our cats. She stayed at our home while we were away and gave them lots of attention and affection while we were away. One of my cats was on medication during this time and she made sure to give him his medication at the scheduled times as instructed.

Ankita was very responsive and accommodating. We setup a walk the day before so my dog could properly meet and get to know her, and it really helped making sure he was comfortable having a sitter for the first time. She was gentle with my dog, was responsive to my messages and was very understanding when I had some challenges not getting home on time due to traffic. Will 100% recommend
