“First time using Rover and I was so pleased with the experience. Jazmin made this so incredibly easy. Our dog absolutely loved her! I would highly recommend Jazmin and will be requesting her again.”

About: (Please dont judge me by my stats - I'm new here :) I am a mature woman with a youthful spirit. Dogs and cats are like people to me. I have owned cats or dogs most of my life. As pet owners, we want someone to care for them as much as we do. I go above and beyond to give your animal the specialized care he or she needs and deserves. I look forward to meeting them and seeing them happy! 🐶 I just moved back to Sudbury and located in The Valley. My schedule is flexible at the moment as I am establishing myself. I can't wait to fill my schedule with critters! I own a small dog and may bring her along to socialize with your pet if that works for you. I am flexible and intuitive according to everyone's needs. If it's walking or sitting, I give lots of playtime and attention to your pet. It's not just about food, water and exercise.
“I had the pleasure of having Lianne stay at my house to look after my dog and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From our first message to the stay, her professionalism and genuine love for animals was evident. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, giving me peace of mind. Highly recommend Lianne!”

About: I've helped to petsit/walk my friends and family's pets countless times. I've always had cats growing up, and have 2 currently. I also have experience caring for pets that need medications. I'm currently working full-time. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting during the evenings. I have a wider availability during my off days (Sunday/Monday) During walks, I feel confident in my abilities to read the body language of your pet and those we may pass to make sure I keep them comfortable and safe. During drop-ins, I'm happy to follow your instructions for how to care for your pet.
“Jason was a phenomenal house & pet sitter! He went above and beyond our expectations and we would gladly book him again. Our multi-pet household is a big handful but he cared for them perfectly! We, and our pets are both extremely satisfied with his services. Would recommend to anyone looking for pet care!”

About: I have always been around dogs my whole life, almost everyone in my circle has one! I love animals and spending time outside so this is the perfect opportunity! I have good patience in terms of puppies, teaching tricks and letting your dog sniff around! A daily walk is a dogs favourite part of the day and I would love to be the one to give them that! I am currently working part time as a server, which is amazing so I work most evenings and weekends. I am also a student studying in the Medical Laboratory Technician program so I’d love to spend my free time outside and with dogs! I have a friendly medium sized dog that I live with who is fully trained. He is taken for 2-4 walks a day and taken to parks to run around! In a clients home, I would ask to be walked through the home and shown which doors to use. I would also ask which areas within the neighborhood the dog likes best to visit on walks. I understand the anxiety when it comes to leaving your dog and/or house in the care of another so I would treat both with the best care possible.
“Melody arrived early, stayed until necessary, and was very transparent with everything. She also took lots of pictures and kept us updated. There was not a moment where we felt our dogs weren't being given the proper care. Highly recommend and would ask her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Joel — a lifelong dog owner who truly treats every dog as if they were my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with daily care, basic training, senior dogs, and administering oral medications. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention. When boarding, dogs are rarely left alone and typically never longer than 4–5 hours. I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal as possible, including daily walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of affection. I offer both dog boarding and house sitting, and I take both responsibilities seriously. Whether your dog is staying in my home or I’m staying in yours, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and a calm, safe environment. For house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own. I’m comfortable handling mail/packages, plant watering, garbage and recycling days, and maintaining a clean, secure space while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind — knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m a strong believer in communication and am happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away. I currently work full time but have different schedules so it makes it easier for the dogs not to be alone for extended periods of time. I have a partially fenced back yard with ample amount of room to run around and play while under close supervision. I have one 3 year old dog (Axle), who always wants to meet new friends.
