“Jasper loves his new friend! From the first time he met Lori he was a happy boy. So grateful that Lori is willing to hang out with our sweet gentle giant. Great communication and loads of pictures. He was still ready for a snooze even after we arrived home.”
About: I grew up with two labs and a little grey cat, as well as the bonus cats I was in charge of feeding whenever my neighbours went out of town. I don't have any pets now, but I love to go for big walks and would love to have some company on my little neighbourhood outings. I'm currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I am available for walks on weekdays in the early mornings or evenings, and on weekends. I can pick your dog up from your home for walks. I prefer to keep to the sidewalks and groomed walking trails. I am comfortable with large dogs as well as small ones.
“Daryl is fantastic! He cared for our cat while we were away on our first big vacation after adopting our cat. Daryl is very quick to respond and thoughtful. We greatly appreciate the amazing care he took of our girl. We can't recommend him enough!”
“Thank you Courtney! It was comforting and reassuring to know that Kitty was left in good hands and being taken care of in our absence. Courtney, you did a great job! Thank you!!”
About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.
“Emily took excellent care of our two cats. They were both very comfortable with her and enjoyed the pets and playtime. Emily was very professional, accommodating, and communicative. We would definitely book her again.”
“Loren was very sweet and took good care of my kitty while I was away on a trip! Loki seemed to be happy upon my return! She was very responsive, gave good updates and spent quality time with Loki, making sure he had his daily brushing and treats! I would recommend Loren!”
“Hayley and Lucy are amazing! They are friendly, responsible, and very accommodating. They took care of my baby cats exactly as I asked and went above and beyond. They left very detailed care notes and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! My cats also got along really well with them. I would definitely recommend them and will absolutely book with them again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Pepper 🐾 My home is calm, cozy, and very dog-friendly. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for puppies (with all the patience and consistency they need!) as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler, more relaxed approach. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to cuddle and relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and keep a consistent routine. I’m home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I’m in the office, but I’m located very close to home and can easily come back for check-ins, walks, and care as needed. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the main floor, which means quick and easy access to the outdoors for bathroom breaks and walks—no long waits or elevators needed. We’re also located near great off-leash parks and walking areas, perfect for getting in lots of exercise and fresh air (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s needs). Inside, my home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of each dog’s routine, safety, and well-being.
“Keisha was amazing! Great communication, left the place perfectly near and tidy, and was great with Zoey and seemed very understanding of cat behaviour. Will definitely go to her again next time we need a sitter :)”
“Jenna was amazing! You can tell she really loves animals, and does everything she can to make sure they’re loved and taken care of while you’re away. Our cat warmed right up to her and they got along great! Would absolutely trust her with our pets again and would recommend others to do the same!”
“Erica is the gold standard for anything and everything Pets. She loves my animals unconditionally, is reliable and I trust her implicitly. She's become part of the family. And best of all: my fur family loves her.”
“Jaiden was so good with our cat scout. Scout normally has a hard time adjusting to new places but she was so at home with Jaiden purring and even making biscuits by the second day! Would highly recommend!!”
About: I welcome all dogs into my home,. Small, large, energetic and subdued. Growing up with all different varieties of dogs has given me a confidence when dealing with all sorts of behaviors. I can relate to them, and be sure I'm giving them the care they need, where it be a run in the woods, our a casual walk around the neighborhood. I also volunteer at the SPCA as a dog companion, which has given me the opportunity to learn from my peers in all sorts of animal behavior. You can count on me to give your dog the attention they deserve. I also have an 8 year old Siberian Husky, who loves other dogs if they would like a playmate. If your dog is more into relaxing alone, that's also no problem. I currently work from home, so you can rest assured your pet will have companionship, 24/7. I like to fit in at least three walks a day, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced yard, where your dog can move freely and get familiar with their new surroundings. I also make a point to always dedicate a safe, private space in my home for my dog guests, where they can relax, and feel safe.
About: I'm here to give your furry family the care they deserve, especially while you’re away which can be stressful for both sides. I grew up with dogs so am familiar with their needs and I'm currently a cat-mom. Since I was 9 years old, neighbours trusted me to visit their homes for pet care while they were traveling. I am also happy to send update photos of their life while you're away! EXPERIENCE Animal Types - Dogs and cats - Other: turtle, parrot, hamster Age Ranges - 2yr to senior age (puppy training is NOT offered) Medications - Experience with giving pills and medicated ear drops to both dogs and cats. - Injections: If injections are required, a thorough tutorial before you leave your pet in my care is required. I’m not formally needle trained, but can follow instructions and take pet healthcare needs seriously. AVAILABILITY I work from home so can be flexible with availability, although I'm unable to host pets in my home at this time. As for your pet's routines, you can trust I won’t miss a feeding time, potty break, or belly rub session. Your pet is in safe, reliable hands. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Please be familiar with what each service provides. Housesitting implies I will be staying overnight at your location. Drop-in sessions are short visits to your location. I believe in meeting pets where they are. 🐶 For a dog, I’ll bring the energy and playtime. For a cat? 😽 I understand they might just want to be left to contemplate life while perched on top of the fridge because....boundaries. Rest easy that I’ll get to know your pet’s unique personality and tailor my approach, because I'm the guest in their space!
“Kate is a reliable and fun sitter. My dog always has the best time and is exhausted from the amount of fun he has! Kate is flexible with scheduling and extremely pleasant to work with!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I recently said goodbye to my two senior pets, my sweet greyhound and my talkative Siamese/Himalayan mix, who lived to 14.5 and 17. After years of loving and caring for them, I find myself missing the daily rhythm of walks, meals and quiet cuddle time. That’s why I’ve joined Rover: to share my time and care with other people’s beloved pets. I’m experienced with senior animals and pets with special needs. I’ve helped with mobility issues, administered oral medications, applied ointments, and handled daily routines with gentleness and patience. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments including golden retrievers, border collies and amstaffs. So I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities and energy levels. Along with my personal experience, I’ve also provided pet sitting and drop-in visits for friends and family over the years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. If you’re currently working on training, I’m happy to help support your efforts by providing consistent, positive reinforcement during our time together. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and encouragement. I work in communications and marketing. With a hybrid work environment, I have the flexibility to support your pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel supported. Happy to offer meet & greet at your home (if it’s for drop-in service), parks and public spaces to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with me.
“Jiaxin has been incredible with our 11 year old cat, Polly. She is always on time, asks questions when she has them, and sends lots of pictures and updates about her visits. We always feel at peace when we're away because we know that Polly is being taken care of so well. I would recommend Jiaxin to anyone looking for a great, reliable cat sitter!”

If I could give Shana 10 stars I would. She is the best, she is so understanding and compassionate when it comes to your pets care. She knows how to make a person feel so comfortable in leaving their pet in her care. Our cat Tukker is my wife’s fur baby and is very particular about who takes care of him while we are away, and knowing that Shana is their for Tukker makes her feel so relaxed that she can enjoy her vacation time, without any worries. Thanks Shana you are the best, and we can’t say enough great things about you. She is an animal person and a people person and understands everyone’s needs. You are in Professional hands when she is taking care of your pet. I highly recommend her.
As always, Steph was amazing with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One of my cats was recently diagnosed with asthma and Steph is the only sitter I’ve had that she won’t hide from, so I was eternally grateful that she was successfully able to administer her puffer each visit! Having Steph take care of my babies puts me at ease as I know they are well taken care of ☺️
