About: I have had pets the majority of my life! Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, you name it! I have always been an animal lover, I will try to pet anything! I treat every animal with kindness I do work full time, however I have a lot of time off during the week. My schedule is 12 hour shifts so it gives me time off on days most people have to work I approach all animals calmly and always tell them how good they are and how loved they are. They are definitely part of the family!

“Kristen was lovely to work with. Her communication was fantastic. We loved all real updates, she really went that extra mile to make sure our Cats were happy. We will 💯 work with Kristen again. Thank you so much”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, birds, chickens, and fish. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently on summer break and only work part-time, so I have lots of free time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving your pets attention and care throughout the day. I love keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just extra attention, I’m happy to match their needs and routine.

About: As a dedicated pet lover, I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and caring home. Not every home needs a pet, but for those that do, pets are truly family — and to them, we are their whole world. I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own two kitties, whom I’ve even trained to do fun tricks like “hands,” “stand,” and “jump.” I’m always happy to learn new ways to enrich their lives, including leash training for safe outdoor adventures. I’ve also looked after cats and dogs for friends during extended vacations, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family will be in loving and capable hands. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away — just as if you were home. 🐾💕 Every pet is unique, with their own personality and preferences. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, outdoor time, or simply relaxing with a calm companion, I’m always happy to match their energy and care for them in the way that suits them best. Below are the services I offer and what you can expect from each one: Dog Walks I provide dog walks of at least 30 minutes, once or twice daily, depending on your dog’s needs and routine. Home Visits I offer home visits once or twice daily, with each visit lasting at least one hour. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for with feeding, fresh water, playtime, affection, and outdoor time if they enjoy it. I’m also able to administer oral medication when needed. If requested, I can help with light household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. House Sitting I offer house sitting services and am happy to coordinate the length of my stay based on your pet’s needs and usual routine. I’m comfortable caring for kittens, puppies, senior pets, and shy pets, and I understand that each animal has their own personality, pace, and needs. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family. ❤️

About: My family has rescued three dogs throughout my life. Two of which took extensive training to integrate into our home. One of the two is very reactive. This means that I’m no stranger to dog training, reactive dogs, patience and playing. I’m incredible flexible for the time and would be happy to work with your schedule and provide whatever your dog needs! I have just finished five years of post secondary education and am taking the summer off before applying for policing come the fall. I serve some weekends but this means my schedule is very flexible. From week days to week nights, to weekend availability, I’m happy to step in when need be. I will not be hosting any pets in my home because my dog is reactive but I am happy to come to you! I am clean and responsible, you won’t even know I was there besides your tired out pup! From walks and playtime, to some sunshine and cuddles, I am happy to provide what your dog needs. Please reach out and we can talk about your needs for your dog and we’ll chat about how I can best accommodate you.

About: I’ve always been happy to care for our friends and family pets, but I’ve also been on Rover for a couple years. Now jumping back into dog-sitting as I am working remotely full-time. We love having visitors 🐾 and giving them a loving home away from home while you’re not with them! We’ve cared for many types of dogs of all ages and are happy to adapt to their routines and energy levels. One of us works from home full time and the other one goes to the office a couple times a week. We make sure our calendar is updated accordingly to dedicate as much time as possible to care for our visitors. Our guests are welcome as part of our family, we also have a big fenced backyard, so plenty of opportunities for playtime and exercise 🐾🥎

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actively taken care of multiple dogs for the past 18 years. Many friends and family member of mine have always trusted me with their pets, and cared for them for a month at a time, including a 6 year old Maltese poodle blind dog. I’ve had pets in and around the house ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Siberian husky, an Akita, a German shepherd, and a cat, so I’ve always known how to handle and care for any size of pet! I’m currently working part-time so I have extremely flexible hours and plenty of time to care for your fur baby, as I understand that they need the extra love, plenty of cuddles and play time, especially when they are away from home! I am a very active person and I love taking daily walks, so I’d be more than happy to be accompanied by your pups. 😊

About: Hey there, i’m a veterinary assistant certified dog lover and handler. I’ve been in the field for over 8 years as a supervisor at a dog daycare, professional bather and sales rep for diet and nutrition. I currently work for an all natural pet supplement company! I’ve done house and dog sitting during this time as well. I am very reliable and punctual. Im currently available on weekends. I can make an exception depending on the situation. Dog walks can be scheduled for after 6pm Monday to Friday. I have a nice two bedroom apartment. Regular walks are a must (if thats what the pup enjoys). Toys can be provided if none are brought with them, scheduled walks/routine will be maintained.

“We booked Natalia to do drop-in visits for our cat for 9 days while we were away on vacation. She came by every morning at 9am and made sure he had food, fresh water, and cleaned out his litter box. She also spent time playing with him and it turns out that he really loves laser toys. I was at ease knowing that Michael was in good hands and I was even happier that I didn't have to board him (that would have been a nightmare because he's very territorial). Thanks Natalia for looking after him :-)”

About: I have 15 years of professional pet care experience and taught positive reinforcement dog training classes for 5 years. I owned a successful dog walking service in Waterdown for a decade before closing it to bring my passion for pet care home to Cambridge, where I have lived for eight years. I am extremely reliable and communicative, and I come with a wealth of dog handling experience. Insured in good standing with ProFUR since 2018. I am available Mon-Fri for dog walking and 7 days a week for in-home cat visits. If you have needs outside of these set business hours, I am flexible. If I can help, I always will. Please feel free to reach out! I am a homeowner, kid parent, and pet parent myself. I know how much trust it requires to hire reliable pet care, and I also understand the level of responsibility that comes with having access to someone's home and beloved pets. I take this responsibility very seriously and am proud to say that in 15 years, I have never had a client incident involving security. When your pet is in my care, I treat them with love and affection, as if they were my own. Ditto for your house! Doors are locked, pets secured, plants watered, and mail is brought in.

About: With lifelong hands-on experience caring for pets, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have walked dogs and pet sat for family and friends. I completed placements at a professional dog walking agency in Fergus, Ontario, and at a veterinary clinic, gaining valuable knowledge in animal health and behaviour. As a foster parent, I’ve cared for pets with special needs, developing patience and compassion. Additionally, my background in social work has strengthened my ability to connect with both pets and their owners, ensuring a trustworthy and respectful relationship. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique personality - whether that means exercise, medication, or just companionship. You can count on me to treat your furry family members like my own. I have open availability to spend quality time with your pets over the next few weeks, aside from times that are blocked off via Rover. I will then update my schedule accordingly. I’m happy to arrange walks or drop-ins that fit your pet’s routine! When caring for your pet in your home, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment that respects your routines and space. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding to medication. I’m comfortable managing dogs with crates, special needs, or unique behaviors, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my versatility. Whether you need help training a new puppy or providing companionship and care for a senior pet, I'm here to assist. My adaptability ensures that I can meet the unique needs of each furry friend, making their time with me enjoyable and beneficial. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. With my part-time work, I have ample availability to dedicate quality time to your furry companions. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship. Weekends are perfect for boarding, while weekdays after 2 pm are reserved for walks, playtime, and whatever else your pets require to thrive. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, providing them with designated spaces for rest, play, and meals. I follow any dietary restrictions and medication schedules diligently. For client's homes, I adapt to their routines, maintaining consistency with feeding times, exercise regimens, and any specific care instructions provided. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet entrusted to my care.

“Samantha took care of our two very shy cats for a week while we were away. She came every day to check in on them, feed them and give them some love and treats. This was the first time we've opted to have a sitter come over vs. boarding them at a friend's or family's home and I'm so glad we did. The cats were much more comfortable and quickly warmed up to Samantha. She would send us daily updates and lots of pictures, that gave us great peace of mind.”
