“Barbara was an amazing pet sitter. She was attentive to my cat’s needs from her first visit. She got on the floor and allowed my cat to come to her. Barbara took photos of my cat eating, playing and getting pets, which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Barbara for pet sitting.”

“Ryan provided exceptional care for our kittens! They were so fond of him that they almost forgot about us. We highly recommend him and would definitely book him again!”

“Megan is reliable and confident and was very attentive to my dogs needs. He can be reactive on a leash so needs structured play areas, she did a great job of ensuring he got there and had a good time safely. Her communication is awesome and she sends photos, which is so appreciated when away from my boy. I’ll definitely reach out to Megan again when I need care for my big silly boy.”

“Ashley was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs during her drop-in visits! She was always on time, super communicative, and made the whole process stress-free for us. We really appreciated the cute photo updates she sent — it was so comforting to see our pups happy and well cared for while we were away/ at work. Her genuine love for animals really showed. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is my second time booking Rover services with Vanessa and I couldn't be more pleased. Vanessa makes it so easy and goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are happy and the owner too. The cute photos of happy pets through the app are the cherry on the cake :-)”

“As repeat clients we can always rely on Karen to take great care of our cat, an old boy with medical issues. We have peace of mind while we're away, knowing he is in capable hands. We never hesitate to book with Karen.”
“Thank you so much to Michelle who took care of our two cats. Hermes had an emergency right before we left and required meds, which Michelle was happy to take care of on such short notice during our trip. She sent many photos of the cats each visit, played with them, and gave us updates on how they were doing. They seemed to love her right from the introduction visit. Super grateful we could trust Michelle to take care of our babies! MUCH better than the stress of boarding them in an unfamiliar place. Definitely will keep Michelle in mind for our next trip!”

“Our kitty loves Amy! Our anxious elderly boy is so comfortable with Amy, we always come home to a happy, well cared-for kitty. And we love the photos and Rover Cards at each drop-in visit. Amy goes that extra mile and we would rebook her without hesitation.”
“Hope has a unique gift with animals where they feel relaxed with her. Our cat was instantly taken by her care and kindness to him. We are incredibly lucky to have Hope’s support to provide such good care to all our pets. 😻”

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep love and respect for animals of all kinds. I've lived with cats my entire life, and my extended family always had dogs—so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. Whether it was feeding, bathing, or taking dogs on long walks during family gatherings, I’ve always been the go-to pet helper. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and healthy. I monitor water bowls daily, provide fresh water, and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise—whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood or a long hike to leave them happily tuckered out. I work a hybrid 8-4 schedule, so days I WFH can be worked in your space (if wanted) or I can come by on lunch breaks and after work. I am free after 5pm on days in office. On Friday's after 5pm and open all day on weekends and am more than welcome to staying to play and take outside In my own space, we have a balcony that my cat loves going outside on. While Bean does not have any harness training, I did put up garden fence edging to block her in so she cannot stick herself under the balcony. When she goes outside, I also go outside to ensure no funny business happens. My cat back home in Ontario with my parents (who is in my photo) was harness trained as we got her at 10 weeks. Gucci was harness trained as she was so small and wanted to always come outside, she wore a snag-free collar with a bell because she was so quiet. When she did come outside, we literally put a stake in the ground and put her leash around it so she could only go in a circle. as she got older we let her explore with us outside until we trusted her without the harness. Now that she's old, she just comes outside and lays in the sun but always has someone there to watch her as she still is a cat and has a love of thinking the grass is greener everywhere else.
“Jason was amazing to our dogs, we were so worried to go on vacations and leave our dogs behind but Jason was truly great. The dogs had the best time playing and going out with him, it was a fun time for them. He always updated us and we felt that they were really well taken care off. We will definitely rebook next time we are away”

“Wonderful experience with Jane’s drop in visits for our little feline family. She clearly cares for animals, taking the time to earn their trust, and made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. Great communication. Would happily and unreservedly recommend.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and have years of experience helping my partner with dog-sitting. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with all kinds of dogs — from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I offer in-home dog sitting, dog boarding at your place or mine, and daily walks. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full-time from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, so I can care for dogs who are comfortable being alone during that time. I’m fully available on weekends to spend the whole day with them. My partner, does dog-sitting full time and is available several days a week to help care for your pups if needed. She usually walks the pups on the days that I am working. 🌿 A calm and safe environment for your pups I have a fenced yard where dogs can stretch their legs safely, but I also love going for walks several times a day so they can explore and get plenty of exercise. The atmosphere at home is calm and caring — perfect for dogs who like to feel comfortable and relaxed. If your dog is used to being in a crate, that’s totally fine too — I’m happy to follow their routine so they feel right at home. 🐾
“Emma is an amazing life saver. She took care of my 2 cats while my wife was in labour and we were stuck in hospital. She was available immediately and took great care of the guys. Shared lovely pictures of my cats while on her visits. I strongly recommend her as trust worthy pet sitter.”

“Emily was amazing! I felt super confident knowing she was coming to check in on my kitty. I got lots of photos and updates, and always got a reply within the hour. Will def be booking with her again and highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors.

I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.
“We had such a wonderful experience with our cat sitter. She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and took amazing care of our cats. She even managed to win over our most shy kitty on her very last visit — no small feat! We would absolutely be happy to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”

This was our second booking with Barbara - and longer one at that for 10 days. Once again we were really happy with her services including her care/attention to our cats and their surroundings. She dealt with a couple unexpected incidents well and provided great check ins as part of every visit.

Chantelle was wonderful and really put my mind at ease. She came before the visit to meet the boys, which helped so much since it was my first time having someone I didn’t know come check on them. The updates she sent were great, and I appreciated how reassuring she was throughout the process. I also really liked that she took the time to try to befriend them, which makes me feel like future visits will be much easier for all of us. 🫶

Wonderful experience with Jane’s drop in visits for our little feline family. She clearly cares for animals, taking the time to earn their trust, and made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. Great communication. Would happily and unreservedly recommend.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my pet-sitting experience with Danielle! She took such great care of my cat while I was on vacation - I did not worry about him for even a second! She provided excellent communication through texts, pictures, and videos. She took the time to answer my questions and was flexible to meet with us before booking. It was clear my cat trusted and adored her! I will 100% use Danielle’s services in the future. Thank you so much, Danielle!!
