About: With over 15 years of animal care experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Growing up surrounded by animals—both large and small—gave me a lifelong passion for their care and well-being. I spent 2 years working as a kennel attendant before moving into a veterinary clinic, where I worked for 6 years. During my time in the clinic, I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, assisting with recovery, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Now that I’m a stay-at-home mom, I truly miss my furry clients and the joy they brought to my days. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were one of my own. Whether they need an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or lots of love and attention while you’re away, you can trust they’ll be in caring, experienced hands. Also actively passing down my love for animals to my children. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids with plenty of free time - open & flexible schedule able to cater to specific needs 2 meals a day, experienced with medication - my beloved fur baby of 14 years passed in January 2026 from congestive heart failure so I know how important it is to maintain a schedule & make sure they get the things they need. I have a 1.5 year old neutered lab named Bodie - extremely friendly & loves everyone & everything
About: I love animals. I am especially fond of small dogs. I have had chihuahuas for nearly 20+ years in total and grew up with dogs and cats all my life. I have experience with fostering dogs in the past which includes the birth of new chihuahua cross puppies. Watching them grow was such a highlight in my life. I am available to provide care for your beloved pets, whether it involves a drop-in for outdoor time, feeding, watering, or cleaning their litter. I am happy to assist you. Please note that beginning January 5th, 2026, my availability for drop-in visits during weekdays (Monday-Friday) will be limited to evenings, specifically from 6 PM to 9 PM. On weekends and statutory holidays, my availability is from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Additionally, I offer boarding services in my home for both small dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, with two chihuahuas and two cats, I understand the dedication required to care for our animal companions. I always seek the best possible care for my own pets when I am unable to provide it, and I imagine you desire the same level of care for yours. Our pets are truly members of our families. I have a securely fenced yard that offers ample space for play. My dogs are crate-trained and generally respectful of other animals within my home, though a brief adjustment period may occasionally be needed (typically a few hours to a day to get use to eachother.) My pets are fed twice daily, at breakfast and supper, and always have access to fresh water. My dog, Tino, uses doggy bells on the back door to indicate when he needs to go outside, a system your dogs could also use if they are trained to do so. Furthermore, I am very observant of any signs that suggest a need to go out and provide frequent outdoor breaks. Ideally, I prefer to care for your pet in your home through drop-in visits, allowing them to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. However, my home is also available as an option, depending on your specific requirements.
About: I am very experienced in all areas of dog care, having years of experience fostering dogs of all ages, including those with behavioural or mobility challenges. I have pet first aid training, and graduate-level education in canine health and cognition, along with formal training in dog behaviour modification. I offer support in desensitizing dogs who are fearful or reactive to handling/grooming using only positive reinforcement. I prioritize enrichment and meeting each dog’s physical and mental needs in ways that are appropriate for them. I’m active and enjoy longer walks and jogging with dogs who benefit from and enjoy that level of activity. I am also able to accommodate dogs who benefit from mobility-friendly environments. I would love to chat to discuss all the services I can offer, and I do offer flexible pricing for special circumstances. I currently work from home and have full flexibility in my schedule as long as I have an early enough heads up to make adjustments as needed. I am 100% positive reinforcement and enrichment focussed. I follow the pet’s lead, and I will never use any aversive or intimidating discipline.. I am fully equipped with supplies ‑ including crates, pens and dog beds.

“We are so grateful for the amazing and attentive care given to our puppy Benji by Patrisha! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates frequently during his first ever pet sitting experience! Benji was nervous at first but warmed up to her and her family by the end of the stay. We would definitely book with her again! Thanks again Patrisha!!”
“Maria has been fantastic to communicate and make arrangements with! We had a meet and greet at her house before eventually booking my dog in for day care. She was flexible with my pick up time which was super helpful and took the pressure off while I was out with friends. She also arranged to have another dog that day so my dog could have a play day. He was very happy and sleepy when I picked him up 🙂 I will book with Maria again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, at my own home and families as well. I’m very passionate when it comes to animals! I love going on walks with a buddy by my side, my dog Bo loves chasing leaves when it’s windy out. I have all the time in the world to care and have fun with your fur babies. I currently don’t have a job at the moment but that can change. I will be supervising your pups the whole time I am with them, and make sure the environment we are in is safe and if the environment isn’t I will simply remove both of us and continue on to a new thing
“Jenna has been amazing looking after Sadie for daycare. She gives us lots of updates and truly treats her like one of her own. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hello, my name is Mikela, I'm 30yrs old I had two dogs and a pig but I no longer have them with me. MJ who was our oldest dog, and was disabled due to an accident is no longer with us because of old age and her disability. Her sister Onyx is now thirteen, they were a funny pair and you knew who was top dog. MJ was a small yorkie/pom/jack russel. I got her from a farm and I adopted Onyx who also came from a reserve. So both our dogs are rescues and mixes, we also had a pot belly pig with Onyx named Dexter. Their relationship was something I wish could have lasted longer but because of circumstances thought differently. I can't deal with cats here due to my mom being allergic so we don't own any, our home is just dog friendly and whatever other pet you have that isn't a cat. I'm hoping to earn a little extra money with this job so solid inquiries only. No stepping in with interest and then backing away, I'm hoping the interest you bring will be final. I find the interest and then finding someone else rude because you make me hopeful and happy, so solid inquiries only please. A little about me I've got epilepsy and that's why I'm doing this, I live with my parents so I don't live alone. Because of my epilepsy I can't drive. My schedule is open, I'm currently looking for work from home. So I'm open after 12:00am until 7:30(ish)pm for boarding/looking after your animals. We can customize the time too. Our fence has just been redone so your dog won't be able to jump or get out. We've got treats for my one dog Onyx so if you are okay with sharing I'll share. We also have a water dish and our place is fairly clean, we don't have a spot to crate and I won't be able to come pick your pets up due to my disability.
“Morgan took great care of Maisy and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day. Maisy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving her in Morgan’s care. Would definitely book again!”

“Excellent experience! Our dog was well cared for and SherryLynn was very accommodating for our schedule. We were in town for a ball tournament and didn’t know exact times as it depended on wind/losses and she was very flexible. Our dog enjoyed a nice, safe, air conditioned home, with lots of attention on a hot summer weekend!”

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dalmeny commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
