“Karen is a loving and diligent dog walker. We trust her completely with our almost 7 month old, Stanley. So grateful for her. Very quick in all communication and accommodating!”


“Naomi really helped me out with getting my dogs exercised and giving them some love on a day when I was working long hours! She was very communicative and thoughtful. I’d be happy to have rebook with her in the future!”


“Greer has been walking Scamp for a while now and she has been amazing!! Always on time and leaves us a rover card with his walk route, pictures, and number of pees/poops. When it was too hot for her to complete an hour walk she came back the next day to make up the time which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”


“It’s obvious from Kayleigh’s reports that she really takes the time to get to know the dogs in her care. She brings Fitz to some of his favourite places and he’s so happy and spent at the end of the day. She really cares about their experiences :)”


“Thanks for taking such good care of our babes! Erica made sure they had enough water and their food puzzles afterwards! Also to send lots of pictures and updates! Thanks again:)”

I’ve been looking after animals since I was 12 and never wanted to stop.

I plan to treat your home with the same care and respect as mine, we all know accidents can happen so I am more that happy to clean up any with the tools you have in the home!

About: I have hands-on experience rescuing and caring for puppies, including bottle-feeding them with milk replacement and nurturing them until they were healthy and ready for adoption into loving homes. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the patience, responsibility, and affection pets need. I am also knowledgeable in basic canine CPR, ensuring I can respond to emergencies with care and confidence.

As both a lifelong dog owner and former animal rescuer, I understand how important trust is when caring for your furry family members. I provide a warm, loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 5 years, including raising a Labrador Retriever back in China. I’m familiar with feeding, walking, bathing, and keeping dogs happy and calm. While I currently live in an apartment and cannot offer dog boarding, I’m more than happy to help with dog walking and daily visits. I truly enjoy being around animals and always treat them with patience and love. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walking or cat sitting everyday after 12:00 PM. I enjoy stay with pets! I live in a bright and sunny two-bedroom apartment — it’s a perfect environment for boarding cats.But I do not offer boarding dog because of my apartment rules. However, I’m very careful when visiting pets in their home. I always follow instructions, give them space, and make sure they feel safe and loved.

“Experience with Ben was great. He is quite responsive with communication on Rover. He is friendly and obviously loves dogs as he has a few small cute ones of his own, and welcomed Toby with ease. Toby fit in well and had loads of fun. Ben also sent several pics and a video of their time together”


About: I’m currently a student at NSCC with a passion for animals. I have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a family dog at my parents. I’ve been pet sitting and caring for friend’s and family’s animals since I was a kid. I have a BSc in Bioveterinary Sciences with a certificate in animal welfare, so I have a fundamental understanding of your pets safety and wellness. I’m comfortable administering medications, senior care, puppies/kittens, training, and so much more. I look forward to chatting with you! I’m currently on summer break from college, and until I find a part time job I am available any day, any time. Wether its early morning walks or a weekend stay, I’ll be there. I have two friendly cats who keep to themselves for the most part, my guinea pigs are in an enclosure. I have a backyard, although not completed fenced in, I do have private lake access for any water dogs. Regardless of location, I prioritize a calm and secure environment tailored to your pets needs. I follow your schedule and routine to minimize stress, ensure enrichment is provided and of course exercise. While I am not pet first aid certified, I do know basic first aid and how to respond to choking. I will ask for you to provide emergency numbers. Your pets safety and happiness comes first.

About: We are dog people! IYKYK right? We've had dogs for a long time, from childhood besties to adult faithful companions. We raised a beagle from 12 weeks to 12 years old. We've adopted dogs midlife and have cared for multiple senior dogs. We've run the gamut of situations and are well equipped to make your dogs feel at home. Every dog we've had has been a big part of our family. Our hearts are open. In the Spring of 2025 we had to say goodbye to our beloved chocolate lab, Sandy. Now our pet free home is open to care for your dogs. Amy works from home full time (Dave is home 2 days/week) so we have lots of flexibility to dote on your dog. We love taking neighborhood walks in the mornings/evenings. We have a lovely fenced in backyard with lots of room for your dog to roam freely and your dog will love the trails that run near our house for walks.

“Ally has walked my 'girls' 3 times so far. Ally is prompt; communication is good, and the dogs clearly love to see Ally arrive. They are looking forward to future walks. Very happy, and I recommend. Thanks.”


About: I recently had to say good-bye to my 16.5 yo soulmate Jagger. Jagger had many health issues from his puppy years to his senior years which I financed (with ZERO hesitation 🥰) & managed daily. I feel that I learned so much from his various healthcare issues that can carry over into caring for your loving soulmate. I am experienced in anything from eye/eardrops, administering oral medications, and even insulin injections. I also successfully crate trained Jagger as a puppy and feel that this kept him to be a calm, independent, and happy dog well into his senior years. I have no children so I have lots of time and space to devote to your beloved pets. I am looking forward to opening my home to them and sharing my love with your dogs (or cats) who may be in need of a safe space while you are away. There are also many lovely parks, beaches, lakes and trail adventures for your dog to experience in my neighborhood and I look forward to sharing all of them with your pets! I work from home so have the freedom to have playtime , walks, and potty breaks many times throughout the day and night with absolute patience and love I am able to accommodate any size dog or cat Inside my home. With lots of large windows for them to look outside and watch the world go by. I also have lots of beds, treats and toys on hand to help make your pet’s stay comfortable!


About: Hi there, My name is Carissa and I have been caring for animals for 15 years now from dogs to harp seals. I am energetic and love hiking and walking, but I am also a good snuggle buddy if need be. I do not mind stopping in to administer medications or just for company and a pee break. We have a fenced yard and a dog friendly house. I love dogs of all sizes. I help run an animal shelter called Beagle Paws. I have two dogs of my own a 1 year old beagle and an 13 year old mixed breed. I love dogs of any breed or size, age or breed. Please contact me for a visit so we can meet and get to know each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. Thanks Carissa. I am currently on maternity leave with a 6 month old baby so am home most of the day and enjoy daily walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced yard an two gated porches at both entrances of our home. When fireworks or storms occur I make sure dogs are leashed when exiting the house.

About: I have always had a love for animals and have had pets my entire life. In my adult life, I have happily accepted requests to dog sit over the years. I have taken care of two energetic border collies and even a husky that was as big as me! This usually has required me to stay in the dogs’ home for a week or more. Having also taken care of my own 9 year old dog from a puppy, I have both personal and professional experience caring for dogs! I am currently working part time until I start school in the fall, so my schedule is quite flexible! I teach a few yoga classes during the week and work in the studio for a few hours on the weekends, but am happy to accommodate! I have pets of my own, so I would only be taking care of your pet in their own house or outdoors if necessary. I have the proper seat protectors in my car, so would be happy to drive with pets as well.

“Sophie is an exceptional pet sitter! Over the years, she’s been like a second parent to my cat, Simba — and he absolutely adores her. She’s playful and affectionate, yet always responsible and attentive when it comes to pet care.

Fardeen Ansar C.
“Hi. I have a dog names leo back then he was a puppy. I was new pet mom and Fardeen was in my high school. He offered me help where he used to come at my place every 2 days and used to take care of my puppy with nutrition, potty training and sleep habits. He not only cared Leo but also teaching me how to take care a puppy.”


Yue J.
“I am writing to express my sincere recommendation for Yue, a truly compassionate and attentive individual who has demonstrated exceptional care and dedication in looking after small pets—especially during times when they need it most. During the period when Yuanbao, a British Shorthair Golden Chinchilla cat, fell ill, Yue went above and beyond in providing round-the-clock support and care. She administered medication on time every day without fail, stayed by Yuanbao’s side to offer comfort, and closely monitored his recovery progress. Her calm presence and constant companionship made a meaningful difference in his healing process. What impressed me most was Yue’s meticulous attention to detail. She kept thorough, daily records of Yuanbao’s physical condition, including his breathing rate and behavioral changes—information that proved valuable in communicating with veterinarians and adjusting care routines accordingly. Her ability to remain both emotionally supportive and clinically observant is truly rare. Yue’s love for animals is deeply genuine, and her actions reflect a level of responsibility and empathy that is hard to find. I have complete confidence in her ability to provide thoughtful, reliable care to any pet. If you have any questions or would like to discuss her qualifications further, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Warm regards, Yujia,Quan.”

Abby D.
“Abby stayed at our house for 8 weeks looking after our 2 crazy Border Collies. Not only were our spoiled dogs well cared for and loved, the house was cleaner and tidier than it was when we left.

Once you meet Abby, you will understand as her beautiful and patient personality shines through.”
