About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I am patient with shy pets, energetic enough for active dogs, and attentive to the needs of senior pets who may require extra care and gentleness. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel at home and give you complete confidence that they are in caring, responsible hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs lots of exercise, a senior pet that requires extra attention, or a pet that simply enjoys company, I can adapt my day to meet their individual needs. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide frequent updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I create a calm, secure, and stress-free environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, crate use, and any specific behavioural needs. I also ensure doors, gates, and access points are always secured during visits and walks. I take the time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially if they are shy, anxious, or need extra reassurance. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly, and safe environment with constant supervision. I ensure there are no hazards, provide a comfortable space for rest, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Across all services, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and messages so they always feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.

About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and needs. 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.

About: I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had pets in the family, and over the years I've cared for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets with more specialized needs. I've also pet sat for neighbours, relatives, and coworkers, both paid and unpaid. What I enjoy most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal's personality. Every pet is different, and I like figuring out what each one enjoys most! Different dogs find joy in exploring trails for hours, while others prefer activities like tug-of-war, chasing balls, or sniffing every tree on the block. Some cats immediately curl up beside you when you arrive, whereas others prefer to watch from afar until they're ready for a greeting. I enjoy meeting each of them on their own terms. Over the years, I've gained experience with puppy training, recall, enrichment, senior care, and administering oral, liquid, topical, eye, and ear medications. I've also cared for pets with anxiety, seizure disorders, blindness, deafness, and reactivity, so I understand how important patience, routine, and consistency are. The biggest reason I'm on Rover is simple. I genuinely love being around animals. Since moving away for university, one of the things I've missed most is having pets as part of my everyday life. Spending time with them doesn't feel like a job to me; it's something I look forward to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I currently have open availability throughout the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility to work around your pet's routine. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I'm happy to provide the time and attention your pet deserves. During the school year, my schedule becomes a little more structured around my university classes, but I'll always keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away. Before a booking, I like to learn about their schedule, favourite activities, training cues, and any medical or behavioural needs so I can care for them the way they're used to. I believe each pet is unique, so I customize my care to suit their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to listen carefully to what they need, making them feel loved and understood. If I'm staying in your home, I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well. At this time, I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding.

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

About: I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for animals with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special care instructions, and providing gentle bathing and grooming support when needed. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs (including pitbulls and bully breeds) and I’m confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for cats of all personalities, including both long- and short-haired breeds, ensuring they’re comfortable, calm, and well cared for. In addition to my hands-on pet care experience, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter, where I supported daily care routines and learned how to approach animals with patience, empathy, and respect. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m experienced in building and maintaining consistent pet care routines shaped by both pet ownership and volunteer experience. I understand how important structure, familiarity, and timing are for pets, especially those who thrive on routine or require extra care. I’m available for early morning, evening, and late-night services, as well as full-day care on weekends. I’m able to commit to daily or multiple-times-per-day walks or check-ins, and I’m reliable with scheduling, feeding times, medication routines, and exercise needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and secure, and pet parents have complete peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to minimize stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration, litter or waste cleanup, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive attentive care, exercise, and companionship while keeping their space clean and secure. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and communicate updates to pet owners for peace of mind. My priority is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

About: What sets me apart is my background in dog training and working with service dogs. I understand canine body language, behavior, and positive reinforcement training, allowing me to provide care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I have experience working with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and training levels, including puppies, active dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether your pet needs a structured routine, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, or simply lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a part-time teacher and dog trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Caring for animals is already a central part of my daily routine, and I enjoy providing reliable, personalized care that helps pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my own home, I care for a service dog, a scent dog in training, and five rescued cats, including cats with medical complexities. This has given me experience maintaining medication schedules, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing specialized care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard maintenance, medication administration if required, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also reinforce any training routines owners would like maintained and always prioritize safety, comfort, and low-stress care. My experience with dog training, service dogs, and medically complex cats allows me to recognize changes in behavior and respond thoughtfully to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾🐱🐶

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!

About: 🐶 About Me Hi! I’m Elyssa — a reliable, attentive animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets as if they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m calm, patient, and very tuned in to animal behaviour. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy vibe, I adjust to their personality and routine. I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort, stress, or changes in behaviour — your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first. ⸻ 🐾 My Experience • Experience with medium to large breeds • Comfortable with senior dogs and dogs with mobility considerations • Familiar with basic training cues and reinforcing good habits • Confident handling dogs on leash • Experienced with feeding routines, medication schedules, and special instructions I also understand that some dogs can be anxious when their owners are away. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and providing reassurance, structure, and lots of positive attention. ⸻ 🏡 What You Can Expect ✔️ Reliable and punctual ✔️ Frequent photo and video updates ✔️ Clear communication ✔️ Clean and respectful care of your home ✔️ Lots of love, belly rubs, and enrichment I treat every pet like family — and I know they aren’t “just dogs.” They’re your babies. I work shift-based hours, which gives me flexibility that a traditional 9–5 schedule doesn’t. On my days off, I have full daytime availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time. On workdays, I’m often available mornings, evenings, or overnight depending on my rotation. Because I’m used to managing a rotating schedule, I’m very organized and intentional with my time. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, and I avoid overbooking so every dog receives calm, focused attention. Shift work also means I’m comfortable with early mornings, late evenings, and non-traditional routines — which is perfect for pet parents who work long hours or unconventional schedules themselves. Your dog won’t feel rushed or squeezed in — they’ll have dedicated, reliable care built into my week. I bring calm energy, strong communication, attention to detail, and genuine care. Your dog will be treated with patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement — like they’re my own.

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.

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.
