About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

“I had Ellie in 3 times over 2 days and I am so happy with her visits. She came to meet us before the scheduled appointment. She loves animals, and my pup loves her. I have total confidence with Ellie taking care of my wee one. My pup is senior with some health issues. Ellie is gentle and patient. And, luckily, was also available for a quick last minute visit. Very happy. 5 stars!!”

“Adam was great, first time meeting London and he dealt with her very well. She's very fearful, but took to him. He took her for a nice walk and she seemed very happy”

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals, especially dogs and cats. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing a pup! This is why I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to personalities, ages, quirks, and comfort levels so your fur babies get the best care possible for their needs. A happy pet is my goal! I am currently an online university student, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work on my studies from home while looking after furry friends! I care for all of my client’s pets as if they were my own. Both my client’s and their pets’ comfort and safety is my number one priority. I make sure to understand each individual pet’s personality, needs and preferences.

“Jessica is amazing. I was nervous as I have never left my cats with anyone, it was our first vacation. We were put at ease from the first visit and were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. I think the cats thought they were on vacation as well. The pictures Jessica sent us from each visit made our hearts happy. She played music for them each visit. She is amazing and we will hopefully be able to book her for our next vacation. Thank you Jessica.”

Joanne K.

“We cannot say enough positive things about Ashley. She has helped us immensely with our puppy and has continued to not only take so much stress off of us but helped us in training our puppy and helping her grow into one happy girl. Our puppy loves our time with Ashley and my partner and I are forever grateful that we found somebody as wonderful, genuine, caring and kind as Ashley. We trust her immensely and know that our puppy is in amazing hands!”

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

About: I spent my childhood helping my grandparents take care of animals at their boarding kennel and have been a huge animal lover ever since. I have had several animals of my own (dogs, cat, fish, & bunny). I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have started offering pet-sitting services, locally & abroad, for the past three years. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they’re comfortable in their own home environment while you’re away. You can count on me to provide not just the basics - food, walks, and play - but also companionship, calm presence, and genuine care. I have experience caring for senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I understand how to move at their pace, notice the little signs when they’re tired or uncomfortable, and keep them feeling safe and loved. I run (mostly-online) businesses that provides a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I can work around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I am adaptable and reliable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or playtime. Safety is always my top priority - I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and loved, and your home is cared for just as you left it.

About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Things about me to help ease your mind: • Pet first aid certified (through The Hound Lounge Inc. and Aldergrove Animal Clinic) • Capable of medication administration (oral, topical, injection) • Able to do nail trims and ear cleanings (please note I will not be able to perform these if your pet is showing signs of stress - but I’ll always try my best!) • Comfortable with any breed, size and age • As previously mentioned, lots of professional experience through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, animal shelters, pet stores and previous dog walking/pet sitting jobs. My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care!

“Wow! So impressed with Danielle. This is the first time having someone care for our two dogs through the Rover App. Danielle is an excellent communicator, punctual, kind and gentle with the dogs. Danielle also agreed to a meet and greet prior to sitting for us. Highly recommend Danielle.”

About: i’ve taken care of & trained dogs and cats of all kinds as well as small animals and horses, all my life! I love it. I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I also drive, and can come to you! I can take care of your pets either in my home or your home! I can drive wherever needed, I know lots of great locations to walk your pups as well!

About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will NEED to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and recently said goodbye to my two sweet pups who both lived beautiful, full lives to 16 years old. Caring for them through every stage — from playful puppy days to their senior years — gave me deep patience, attentiveness, and love for animals at every age. I understand how much pets mean to a family because mine were truly my heart. I treat every dog in my care with the same gentleness, respect, and affection, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep my schedule flexible. My days off during the week and on weekends allow me to care for your pet 100% of the time — they won’t be left alone for long stretches. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, and rest so your pet gets consistent attention and supervision. Whether it’s multiple daily walks, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m fully present and focused on their care while they’re with me. 🐾 Safety and trust are everything to me. In my home, pets are supervised, loved, and treated like family. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I make up for it with frequent structured walks and outdoor time on a long leash in the yard so they can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy fresh air. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and routine — whether that means extra playtime, slower senior strolls, or sticking closely to feeding and medication schedules. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. 🐾

About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!

About: Hi! I’m Leah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my two dogs, Winston and Dakota. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel safe, comfortable and confident. My experience goes beyond everyday pet ownership. Growing up, I volunteered with the Oakville Humane Society, where I gained experience around animals with different personalities and needs. I also spent several years volunteering with Frontline K9 Manitoba, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, assisting with basic animal health needs, and supporting rescue and apprehension efforts. One of my greatest learning experiences has been my own dog, Dakota. Dakota is a rescue with a history of dog reactivity, which led me to invest extensively in professional training and learn as much as possible about canine behaviour, body language, triggers and safe handling. I’ve worked closely with trainers and completed multiple training programs with her, giving me hands-on experience managing and supporting a dog with more complex behavioural needs. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, including loose-leash walking, calm and structured walks, polite greetings, jumping, impulse control, basic cues and confidence building. I understand the importance of consistency and will always follow the methods, commands and boundaries you use with your dog. I’m especially understanding of reactive, anxious or sensitive dogs. I know that sometimes a successful walk means creating distance, changing routes, avoiding a trigger or simply giving a dog the time and space they need to feel safe. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt my care to their personality, routine and needs. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, positive and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely understands dogs. Flexible remote work schedule in social work and k9 training. Schedule can vary however I can accommodate whenever I am able! Thank you and talk soon! I am happy to provide care in my home or if required, in your home. Willing to follow your typical routines / structure. We can chat beforehand to make a plan.
