About: I’ve been a dog & cat owner since childhood, and I’ve looked after family & friends’ pets for almost as long! I am no stranger to pets young and old, energetic and slow, shy and outgoing, nor am I a stranger to caring for pets when they’re ill, or have a few special needs here and there. I am comfortable with keeping up with training and regular enrichment. Additionally, I drive and have a car and I am more than happy to do any picking up & dropping off, as well as trips to the park or the beach! I currently work at a restaurant as my main job, so while I have some downtime before the summer rush hits I’m usually available Sunday-Wednesday! As well as mornings Thurs-Saturday. I understand that every pet has its own set of needs, and one cannot paint with a wide brush when it comes to pet care! I am happy to follow whatever direction given, and exchange wisdom when appropriate!
About: With 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behaviour, comfort, and routine, whether that means keeping high‑energy pups engaged or helping senior dogs feel safe and supported. I’m experienced in administering insulin to diabetic dogs, as well as giving oral medications and eye drops with calm, confident handling. I know how important it is for pets with medical needs to have someone who is both gentle and precise, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach to care is rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. From daily walks and structured playtime to maintaining feeding schedules and monitoring overall well‑being, I make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and cared for like family. I’m currently retired and looking to fill my time caring for your pups and kitties I’m available most days in the week and a quite flexible with my schedule. I have a clean, smoke-free home. My yard is not fenced but will be walking your pups on leash. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

About: I've traveled around the world taking care of all kinds of pets and plants on farms and homes. Everyone deserves a good snuggle when their family is away. I work from home Monday to Friday 9:00 to 5 :00 so plenty of time available for walkies and snuggies. I also look after house plants and light moderate pet cleaning duties Stick to the family schedule as best I can. Lots of enriching activities as well as light cleaning and maintenance. ie.litter box, poop scoop, brushing, vacuum etc.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve spent time working with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra patience, and closer attention to their comfort and health. I’m confident managing different personalities and needs — from energetic young dogs who benefit from consistency and structure, to older pets who may require medication, gentle handling, or extra monitoring. I also pay close attention to behaviour, eating habits, and overall wellbeing so small changes don’t go unnoticed. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease through clear communication and regular updates. As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy fitting into my routine. During the week, I’m available in the evenings for visits, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets after work. Weekends offer even more flexibility, allowing me to spend extra time making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. At home, I care for my own pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, exercise, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and know what to expect in their daily routine. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I prioritize maintaining the routines they’re used to so they feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep litter boxes or living areas clean, and make sure each pet gets the attention they need based on their personality. I also treat every home with respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats and birds and more since I was a baby! I love animals, I live on a farm so my pups love all the 27 acres I can pick up as well as stop by whenever. I am available for daily appointments and visits. I will be able to provide the best care for your pet. I have 27 acres with fenced areas and open areas, I also have space in my home for multiple large and small animals. I have 2 pups and 1 cat that get along well with other animals!
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. I’m 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 people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s 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: Growing up I was always asked to watch family or friends or acquaintances pets. I have always had a love for animals! With 16+ years of experience watching cats and dogs and having my own pets, I can confidently say that I know what I’m doing, I am efficient and I’m a trustworthy person I work for TD Bank part time so when I’m not there, I’m working from home. I go on daily walks/hikes and always like to keep moving and doing something to pass the time. I’m very flexible with time and can make almost anything work for you. I live very close to many trails, and parks. I take my own personal dog there very often. I have a beautiful apartment that already houses my eight year old Yorky named peanut and by kitten Tim. Both are super spoiled and cared for very well. I keep my home very tidy but don’t mind having any messes caused by the dogs and/or cats. I don’t mind having dogs in my house but I will not take cats in my house because I don’t think that Kevin would like that. I have no problem going to other peoples houses to care for their cats and doing what needs to be done.
About: Hi I’m Kayla! I’m an animal-loving girl who’s been surrounded by animals my whole life. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years, right up until last summer, so I have lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and personalities. With my experience in a doggy daycare environment, I’m used to monitoring behaviour, recognizing stress signals, and giving each dog the attention they need (Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning and basic grooming, caring for shy or anxious pets, multiple pets at once). I am very patient, calm, and reliable, and I love creating a relaxing, safe environment for every pet I watch. Whether your dog wants to play all day or your cat just wants quiet company, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, keeping their routines consistent, and giving them lots of love while their owners are away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most days and can accommodate last-minute bookings. When I’m not out walking or caring for clients pets Im tending to my own little crew, my 3 Great Danes Kianna, Jade, Thor and my 2 cats Binoo and Delilah. Daily pet care is apart of my everyday life. Your pet’s safety comes FIRST. My priority is keeping your pet safe while walking them or caring for them in your home. I stick to your routine, use secure leashes/harnesses, and make sure the environment stays calm and comfortable. I’ll always keep you updated and send lots of pictures so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Vanessa 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!”

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 pet’s 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 doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.
“Marilyn 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!!”
