“Dan was super kind and flexible, and really helped us out when we weren't able to find another sitter for our area. He provided detailed photo updates which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Would give 10 stars if that were an option. Thanks Dan!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend quality time playing with and exercising your pup. My 6-year old Golden Retriever Kap loves other dogs if yours enjoys some socializing. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so anytime you need help during the week (I may have occasional weekend availability - just reach out) I am currently offering dog walking and/or drop-in services for dogs and cats - I treat your pets like my own and adapt our activities to your pet’s personality.
“This was my first time having someone care for my cat while I was away. As soon as I met Erica I knew I had made the right choice. She was in constant contact, and sent pictures and videos to put my mind at ease while I was away. I'll definitely be calling her for my next trip!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I've also walked and done pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid. I still do. I love animals and the more I get to see, the better! I am gentle and kind with pets. I handle stress well, and can handle high stress situations well I am available to watch, feed, walk, play with pets all the time, as I am working a job that lets me pick my own hours. I will probably ask a bunch of questions as I like to be extra sure that I am doing things the way that you want. If they have certain schedules, feeding practices, routines, specific treats at specific times. Everything I need to know. I am calm, gentle, and patient.
“Kennedy was fantastic—she arrived right on time, kept me updated during and after her visit, and had great communication throughout. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, tailoring my approach to each pet’s routine and personality. I have hands-on experience with puppies and kittens, including reinforcing basic training, routines, and positive behaviours, while creating a calm, safe, and low-stress environment so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I regularly schedule doggy daycare and pet sitting around my work and event commitments, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, timely walks or playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule carefully so each pet gets reliable, unrushed care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every setting. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide constant supervision appropriate to each pet. I’m attentive to behaviour, comfort levels, and any special instructions, and I communicate regularly so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“I’m really happy with the care Lianne provided for my pets. She followed all of my instructions and gave my pets lots of attention. Will definitely reach out to Lianne with future requests.”
“Lesa took excellent care of my our cats while away for vacation. One of our cats is geriatric with special needs, on multiple medications. She was accommodating to visit at the time that the medications were due, and provided them as ordered. My vacation was unexpectedly extended due to flight delays/weather, and she was thankfully able to extend her visits by a few days, ensuring my cats wouldn’t go without care. I would hire her again in the future, she was wonderful!”
About: I have had the pleasure of living with two 50 pound Viszlas for the past ~10 years with my parents. Now that I have moved out I babysit them here and there and am missing having a pet around me! I currently work full time from home, meaning most weeknights and weekends remain available for pet care. I am flexible and willing to accommodate needs. I have a fenced yard as well as a deck suitable for pet care which can hold a long leash reaching the entirety of the yard.
About: I’ve always had a family pet. Puppy’s, senior dogs, cats. They all have different needs and wants, and I’ll follow your schedule. I’m great with walking, and I know how to train them on leash walking. I’m a very loving person and I’m not allergic to any pet. I’m currently in online school so I can come care for your pet anytime. I’m not employed currently and just looking for little gigs. I have lots of free time I currently have a dog, I take her on leash walks, non leash walks and bush walks. I’m good with putting her out, I know when she has to use the washroom, and I give her lots of attention when she wants it.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes and personalities. Growing up in a household that always had 5+ pets i’ve grown a passion in taking care of animals. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I treat every pet like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine. You can count on me to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away! Expect your pet to enjoy nature walks, playtime and cuddles. 🐾 My prices are negotiable and my goal is to provide service that can best suit your needs. I’m currently working part time on the weekends but my availability is pretty flexible so I’ll be able to work around your needs and schedule. I will take of not only your pets but your home as if it was my own. I’m responsible, trustworthy, reliable and confident that I will be able to provide the best care.
About: I have 2 cats of my own, they’re each 3 years old and a bundle or joy! I was also my friends resident dog sitter when they went away. Would love to have a play date with your fur friends! I work from home so I can be flexible on timing but my schedule isn’t consistent so be sure to book me in advance so I can block my schedule! I do have a fenced in yard but we are an indoor cat only household. Willing to do walks and drop ins at your residence
About: My dogs have passed on and I couldn't dream of replacing them, but I still wish to spend time with pets and help other pet owners. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a lot of availability, day and night. Starting with week days, but may be available for weekends in the future. As a previous pet owner, I understand that being trustworthy is just as important as being caring. I too was careful with who I entrusted the care of my pups to.
About: I have taken care and had pets my whole life. My family and I grew up with a cat and a dog and currently we have 3 cats and a dog. I walk my dog 5km everyday and would love to help others who don’t have the time! I love being outside and am looking to enjoy the weather with some furry friends and to help others who don’t have the time to. I have experience walking multiple species of dogs. I have a dog cover in the back seat of my car to make my dog more comfortable when driving to walking spots.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Although I don’t have my own pet I have a lot of experience with those around me. My intention is to give them whatever they need and love them while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible and changes week to week but I am available during the day, evenings and weekends. Overnights are preferably done at your place currently however I am open depending on the situation. When dog sitting in a clients home, I like to keep their schedule as familiar as possible. Care varies from dog to dog. This is why I like to do a meet and greet with the owner and pup before committing. Personally, I like to take the pets I’m sitting for a lot of walks and make sure they get a lot of love and attention. I understand how precious pets are to their owners and they deserve the best of care.

It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
