âIt was great to have Alyssa cat sit for us. She was thorough, conscientious about all details, and took time to get to know our pets and included play time in the visits. She sent us pictures and videos and kept in touch. She responded quickly to all messages and made everything easy for us. She built trust from the start. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to booking with her again soon.â

About: Iâve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Iâve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. Iâm also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, Iâm an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dogâs daily needs for the time that Iâm there with them.
âMarilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!â

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family cared for, entertained and safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to leave your home in tip-top shape.
About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. Iâm currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other peopleâs pets as well. When Iâm not working Iâm often taking care of my dogâs needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

About: I have always loved taking care of pets, whether it be walking dogs, pet sitting for friends or overnight house/pup sitting. Canât wait to meet your pup! I just moved back to Belleville and am relatively flexible! I am in between jobs so am more than happy to spend lots of time playing with your pup(s).

I am active and love going on walks and can do so as often as needed !!
âVanessa was so wonderful with our cats, Piper and Chewy. She sent us pictures and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. We felt really safe leaving them in her care and would again. Thank you Vanessa!â

About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the petâs normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesnât get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cobourg
Iâve been very happy with the care our two cats received over the past month+. Bohdana came every other day and was always reliable and thorough â feeding, changing water, and scooping the litter boxes carefully each visit. What I appreciated most was how patient and gentle she was with the cats. She took time to interact with them rather than just completing the tasks quickly. Both cats had comfortable care with her, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Would definitely book her again. Highly recommended!
