“Serenity is an amazing pet sitter! When we first met her she was sincere and kind and you can tell has a genuine love of animals. Our dog certainly adored her - and appreciates his new toy/parting gift. She even went the extra mile to fill up our budgies' food and water dish as well as clean the cage, even though she didn't have to. Thank you so much for your kindness!”
“Jessica replied to a very last minute booking extremely fast. She was a life saver for me when I had to spend a night out of town and a friend had to cancel. My dog Zara loved her right away , was well taken care of and had a blast when she was around. Jessicas great and reliable”
“Kiko was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat. She was very playful and my cat loved her. She is also great at communication and providing updates, I would 💯 recommend her to everyone who needs someone to look after their pets either for short period and even long periods of time.”
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: I cared for my own cats and dogs for many years. I understand how important routines and trust are for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter care, and spending time with pets to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with respect and care. I follow the pet’s normal routine for feeding, litter care, and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable.
“June was fantastic with our dogs. We hired her to watch our puppy for the day and the few checks through our camers showed a happily playing or snoozing puppy. Would hire again as needed”
“No issues! Rudy is very picky when comes to new humans in his life, Alex fit right in. He was happy. For the first time he had an overnight sitter and it went well. We will do it again, since I can see his trust towards Alex. Perfect fit! Thank you Alex. 🥰”
“Grace was very responsive and communicative during her time watching our cats. She sent us tons of pictures and gave us updates. The cats looked very happy to be with her! We would book her again!! Thanks grace.”
“Emma is an amazing cat sitter. We left our two fur babies with her over three consecutive weekends and we were so relieved that we found someone whom we could rely on. Our cats were so comfortable with her from first meeting itself. Highly recommend her!”
“Taryn watched our senior shepherd for 11 days while we were traveling and I couldn't be happier with her professional service! She stayed at our place and kept it very clean and tidy, got out for walks in the cold and snow, and helped our pup with her bad hips when she needed assistance. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and we had peace of mind for our dog and home while she was there. I would highly recommend Taryn to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Wonderful. I’m a helicopter dog owner and Natalia eased my worries. She has been so kind not only to myself but also to my pups. She is very responsive while taking care of the pups and provides lovely pictures. Highly recommend.”
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: Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a confident, responsible and assertive handler, having grown up with four large breed dogs. I'm certified in advanced pet first aid and CPR through The Pet Paramedic. I enjoy engaging with dogs through long walks, play, enriching games and cuddles. I am just as happy with a high-energy dog as I am with a couch potato. I love meeting new dogs and finding out their unique personalities and what makes them happy! I have first hand experience with puppies, as well as senior and special needs dogs. I'm competent and experienced with administering special diets and medications, as well as providing appropriate levels of play for dogs who have poor joints and pre-existing injuries. I’m lucky to work part-time in healthcare, so I have days off that I like to fill with being around animals! My schedule is often different each week, so if you don't see availability on my calendar, just message me- I am often able to work around it. I’m close to green space and many lovely trails to explore! My home is open to all creatures and they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch or bed as they wish! If you’d rather have your babies stay at your house, no worries- I’m a tidy guest and can help with other small tasks around your home as needed.

“We rebooked with Paige and she was phenomenal again! She took excellent care of our dog and shared plenty of updates while we were away. It was such a relief to know that our guy was in loving hands while we were away. Plus our house was EXACTLY as we had left it. She was very tidy and respectful of our space! We will certainly be rebooking with Paige a third time! Thank you for taking such great care of our boy :)”

We were in Cambridge for our daughter’s wedding and needed a dog sitter for our 14 year old Bichon, Bailey. Serenity was absolutely outstanding. She provided amazing care, lots of cuddles, walks and provided lots of pictures to us throughout both evenings we needed her services. Bailey had an amazing time and loved all the attention he received. Serenity went above and beyond, even cleaning up the kitchen! I highly recommend Serenity for your dog sitting needs, and she is such a sweet person too!
Victoria is so sweet and took amazing care of my two pups. She is flexible and easy to communicate with, including when I needed to reschedule. The day of the visit she was welcoming and patient with my anxious dogs; she even got them toys, which they have been playing with at home. Victoria is a very thoughtful, experienced, and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Shobhit was fantastic. He was able to meet with us for a meet and greet on short notice and we immediately felt that he would be good with our dogs. He house sat for us and took great care to ensure that all of the needs of Bazynga and Bootstrap were met and provided us with prompt feedback and photos. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone and look forward to our next booking.
Michelle is a total pro! She doggiesat my pups - one who is a newer rescue and still a little high maintenance but she was confident, calm, and lovely with them. I felt very comfortable with her in our home and look forward to booking her again in the future! Highly recommend.
Abby was AMAZING. Having someone housesit is always a bit nerve wracking. But Abby just puts you at ease. Our dogs took right to her, as well as our new kitten. You can see she just loves the animals and is simply just good people. She was very communicative and sent lots of written as well as photo updates. No hesitation to have Abby care for our pets again.
