“Lori was fantastic! After meeting her, I was assured that she does this purely out of her love for dogs, not just the extra cash! She sent great updates regularly and pics and I felt at ease while travelling knowing my most precious boy was being well tended to.”

Jenna B.

“This was the second time having Ross look after our dog and he was great. He kept in contact with us, providing updates along with photos. We have already booked for a third time.”

“Louise was amazing minding our 2 dogs overnight at our home, we had a trip planned for months and a sitter let us down last minute. On short notice Louise cancelled her own social event to help us out! Moving forward she will be our go to sitter, best we have found on Rover to date.”

“Jenna was a great sitter and for the first time I was able to go away and enjoy myself knowing my babies were in good hands!! She was very responsive and sent photos which definitely helped, and was great with following all of the many instructions for ensuring all of my pets were taken care of and happy :) Overall, a great sitter and would definitely book again for any future travel plans!”

About: My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.

“Kina did an excellent job of dog sitting our chocolate lab Hershey. She sent lots of updates with pictures. Hershey was very happy and relaxed when we returned. Our house was also kept in excellent condition. Thank you Kina for such an excellent experience!”

“Kelsey stayed in my home for 7 days to care for my two dogs, a husky and a chihuahua, and I could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable and sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. It was clear my dogs were very well cared for. She also left the house clean and tidy, which was so appreciated after returning from vacation. Knowing my dogs were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I would recommend Kelsey in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

Olivia H.

“Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.”

Mike M.

“Sarah came to stay at our house for three nights so we could go away. The house looked exactly the same when I got home as when I left, very neat and tidy. My animals are very spoiled and I know that they received lots of attention when I was away. She sent pictures as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and look forward to having her come and look after my dog and cat again in the future.”

About: I’ve had my own dogs and taken care of dogs for about 12 years. I’ve been relied on for walking, feeding, and look after many dogs and have lots of experience. I am available every week night and every weekend for services. I am happy to be flexible with what you need! Let me know what you’re looking for and I will see what I can do! I have a spacious apartment with a large fenced in balcony. I live beside dog parks and fields for playing. I live in a neighborhood with side walks for walking. The animal is my first priority!

“Alexandra was great with Soba and put our mind at ease as it was our first time being away down our dog. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life from puppies to seniors to rescues. I have experience with all different types of personalities and preferences. I take the time to get to know your fur babies to provide care as close to what you would provide to them as I can. I work downtown so I am able to drop in on my lunch to check in or walk. I am also availability for pet sitting. I will take the time to review all your pets needs and ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable trusting your pet with me as I know it can be hard to leave them with someone else.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have enjoyed caring for them since I was a child which has led me down a career path in veterinary medicine. I’ve owned large breeds and small breeds, and currently a Pomeranian who likes to be carried more than walked! I am a registered veterinary technician at Burnside Veterinary Hospital with additional volunteer experience prior to completing my education. I live a very active lifestyle and love to bring my pets along with me for my adventures! My experience in veterinary medicine will ensure your dog is safe and healthy under my supervision:) I currently work full time Monday-Friday. My evenings are typically free after 4pm and weekends are open as well. I do have one morning off per week, typically a Wednesday or Friday. Unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home due to my building having a no pet policy. However I like to have active communication with clients to ensure I have a full and detailed understanding of their pets needs and routine. Curating lists and schedules based off of pet and owner preferences is ideal to give proper care to their animal(s).
