“Trudie is very kind, she was excellent with the pets, great and quick with communication and she was very accommodating! I'll definitely book again with her! Thanks for all the help Trudie!”

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.
“Bee is a wonderful pet sitter. Gets along very well with both my dog and cat.Noticed right away when my cat was feeling unwell and taken extra steps to make sure he was alright before leaving. She also writes a very detailed note with lots of pictures after every visit. Thank you Bee!”

“Erin was super caring, friendly, and professional! This was our first time booking through Rover and our first time leaving our two cats for more than a couple days so I was very apprehensive but Erin was lovely, accommodating, and clear. My one cat is definitely a velcro cat who wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone but me and is very skittish and nervous, so she (very expectedly) hid under the bed for all of her visits, but Erin always made sure to still try her best to make her feel included and cared for in every visit :) Thanks again!”

About: I lived on and work on a farm for over 25yrs. I've looked after everything from fish, cats, dogs, to poultry and fowl to horses and cattle. I'm active, enjoy spending time outside and love walking. I grew up with Irish Wolfhounds and miss having a dog to walk with. I'm working a weekday job as a plumbing apprentice. Generally from 8-4 but some days are shorter or if times are slow I have days off. In my clients home I like to have a written outline of what your pets routine and needs are. I will make sure your pets needs for company, mental stimulation, food, water, exercise, outdoor time and medicine (if required) are met.
“Katherine has taken care of our cat numerous times. She is excellent with communication, prompt and caring. Our cat has accidents when stressed and now trusts Katherine so this is happening much less. We highly recommend her!”

About: I am currently enrolled in school to become a veterinary technician. My passion for animals has lead me to become fear free certified and always go above and beyond for the animals in my care. I have grown up with large breed dogs my whole life, and recently became a dog owner with my first dog! I have worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years where I was a supervisor. I have also worked at an animal shelter caring for dogs while they are waiting for their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, temperaments and training levels. I am very passionate about working with dogs who have some behavioural issues making them “unwanted” in the shelter system. I have experience socializing, training, introducing dogs and advocating for dogs needs. I am very involved in the dog world and am always looking to get more experience with them. I provide quality care that is trustworthy and respectful to the owner and the dogs. I am a part time student in the fall and winter allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day to tend to your pets needs. I know the importance of having a consistent schedule with your pets and strive to be able to provide that for your animals individual needs. I am flexible and able to work with you to create a daily or weekly schedule that fits your animals and your needs. Safety and confidentiality are very important to me as a pet owner. I know it's hard to trust a random stranger with the care of your precious furry children. I take pride in being able to say I am a very trust worthy and responsible care taker of animals. How would I want someone to care for my animals when I'm away? That's how I will care for your animal. Allowing pet owners to have peace of mind that their pets are in excellent hands. I provide drop in services to play with your animals from the comfort of their home, outside on a long scenic nature walk or a short walk while you're at work, even a quick playtime in the backyard if that's what the love to do! I am happy to enrich pets lives when you need the extra help or are away.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care and welfare. I work at an animal clinic, which also runs an urgent care, in which we work with cats and dogs of many different health statuses. I keep myself level-headed in situations, good or bad and guarantee to provide the most attentive and supportive care for your babies. I use my knowledge from my job and my experience from pet sitting for friends and family to be able to provide the best care I can. I work full time at the animal clinic, 9am-5pm. I usually take time to care for pets (walk, feed, administer medication, etc.) before I leave for work and make sure to do the same as soon as I get home from work. If the situation permits, I am able to take pets to work with me and take them out for a walk at lunch time and/or throughout the day. I make sure to prioritize and manage my daily plans around pet care. To ensure safety and proper care, I make sure to book a meet and greet with owners (free of charge) to ensure I can be shown the step-by-step routine of pet care. I write down my own to-do lists in order to keep track of my essential tasks. If I feel as though I would not be a good fit or my environment will not suffice for a safe space for the pet, I will discerne whether to go forward with the pet care or not.
About: Since getting my first pet at the age of 4 years old, I have continuously been surrounded by all types, sizes, and breeds of pets in my family home. Over the past 10 years or so have accumulated experience in petsitting from young energetic puppies and kittens who need all day play to elderly dogs and cats who need daily medications and special routines around the clock. Its safe to say I have loved every experience I’ve had around these pets and I also want to note I am fortunate to have a connection to an on call vet tech that will be able to assist me if you or I have any questions regarding the health of your pet in my care. With my athletic background and energetic personality you can ensure that your animals will be consistently walked, played with, and well taken care of. :) Please note that although I do work, my schedule allows me to be very flexible so that I can ensure I maintain your pet as a priority! :) You can ensure that your pet will have my full attention to make sure they are safe and well taken care of while you’re away!

I’ve also cared for animals that require medication and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet like family, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior who needs extra patience. I always follow their routine and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m a student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention while following your pet’s regular routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout my stay.
“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I have a fully fenced yard but also believe it's important taking dogs our for walks provided this suits the dogs temperament and the wishes of the owner. I adhere to the owners household and behavioral rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!
