“We are so happy to have had Krista-Leigh house sit and take care of our boy Nixon this long weekend. Not only did she accept a last minute booking, she made time to come for a meet and greet before our departure date. We opened the door to a friendly face who came barring a treat for Nixon and she had him at hello!! She kept him busy with walks around the neighbourhood, near by trails and also threw in a beach day for him. We got pictures of his adventures throughout the weekend and although he was excited to see us when we got home, it didn’t take him long to curl up and pass out!! He definitely got all the love while we were gone 🥰 If your looking for someone to care for your fur baby, we’d highly recommend Krista-Leigh, we’ll certainly be booking with her in the future!”


“Walter helped me in a pinch, did a quick meet and greet and took very good care of Zuko and Asia for the evening. Highly recommend Walter if you want some peace knowing someone punctual and reliable is taking care of your fur babies!”


“Shelby was excellent with my dog, who felt really comfortable almost right away. She was on time and took good care of my young dog. Thanks again Shelby!! Look forward to your next visit Sept 22!”


“We had Rosalie over to look after our cat and spend the day with him. He was 1 of 5 when he was adopted into the family but recently became 1 of 1. So he is quite lonely when no one is home for an extended period of time and when we do arrive home he will tell us so in no uncertain terms! Rosalie arrived a little early which was great and was set to stay the day. When we arrived home after being gone almost 12 hours he was relaxed and happy. Rosalie is now his person that is just for him. We received a selfie of him and felt like we didn’t have to rush home. We will be using her again!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a baby, finally getting my own when I was 12 and raising her as a puppy! Since then we’ve welcomed two more dogs into our family, all with their own unique personalities, which has taught me a lot about individual care! I’m a university student with a very flexible schedule this year! I am unavailable on Monday and Thursdays because of classes and Tuesdays due to work. I also have clinical placement for three weeks out of first and second semester, but those take up only 2-3 days per week. Other than that my schedule is very free (unless communicated otherwise!) I can easily crate your fur babies if necessary (two of my doggies were crate trained) and I am always aware of any safety hazards or things furry friends can eat (from experience 😅) or get in trouble with. Any rules or boundaries you have regarding your house and fur babies I will be sure to follow!
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? Look no further! Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. The reason why I joined Rover is because I love everything about dogs, and I just want to be around them all the time lol. They’re such a blessing!!!😅🫶🏾 Growing up I’ve always had a pet. From guinea pigs to hamsters, cats and dogs. My love for animals certainly grew into adulthood. Which is why I’m here☺️☺️ Join me as I offer responsible, dedicated, and trustworthy pet sitting services tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Also, poopy bags, and toys are on me! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. One thing about me is that, I’m very easy going and laid back. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to do all that it takes to keep you and your dog happy. I’m available Mondays to Saturday from 7:00am to 8:00pm. I like to keep active, so keeping your dog busy and satisfied won’t be an issue. And most importantly, I promise to bring your dog back happy and tired everytime😊👌🏾. A bag of bouncy balls and some treats should keep’m happy and busy for a while. Not to mention the endless belly rubs and hugs

“Felipe was communicative, patient and kind with Tyson. From the meet and greet up until the end of the stay he had my dog’s best interest in mind. Would definitely recommend Felipe!”


About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

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.

“Vanessa took good care of our pets and home while we were away. She went out of her way to accommodate a last minute change which we appreciated very much. We will definitely give Vanessa a call next time!🙂”


“Katherine is one of the best sitters I met! She left the place so clean and everything is organized for us! We came home with no worrisome! Definitely recommend her to be your sitter (As a joke— but Uhhhh NOOOO, because I don’t want you to take her from me)!!!!!”

“Lauryn stayed at our home to look after our dog Molly for a long weekend. As a rescue, Molly has a few issues but right from the Meet and Greet, we could see that she was happy and comfortable with Lauryn. Lauryn was confident dealing with some reactivity on walks and even braved the snowy weather! We received regular updates with photos and came home to a happy dog and spotless home. Even the sheets had been washed and the bed remade. We have already booked Lauryn for our next trip.”


About: Hi there, thank you for visiting my page! I have a solid background in working with dogs with a focus on fostering positive behavior and building strong relationships with the clients of the animals. I have experience in owning a various breeds such as a Doberman pinscher, Poodle and Terrier. I’m experienced in providing care, handling, and socializing pets of various ages and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. My experience also includes supporting pet owners with everyday care routines, focusing on overall well-being and balance between pets and their families. I work from home so I can ensure that feeding time, multiple walks and other daily routines can be kept consistent when in my care. I would want to communicate what the client at the times needs are for their animal when I am taking care of them. This is in regard to being in a crate or not, having food out or have specific food times, having a fenced in yard or not. I am open to offer any specifications that they client needs at that time.

“Amanda was awesome. She adjusted the arrival time after accepting upon our request without any hassle (which we appreciate so much) Cared for our pets wonderfully. House was spotless when we came home and the animals were happy. She gave me photos and updated us once she left”


About: I started my business in July 2016 Julspops Dog Walking & Pet/House Sitting Services . I provide passionate and trusted pet care professionals dedicated to providing dog walking, pet sitting, pet taxi services, overnight stays, and dog-only boarding. With years of experience and a true love for animals, I’ve built a reputation for offering safe, reliable, and personalized care that pet owners can count on. My commitment to excellence has been recognized with multiple awards, including ThreeBestRated, the Quality Business Award, and the Consumer Choice Award. These honours reflect not only my professionalism but also the confidence and satisfaction of the families who trust me with their pets every day. What makes me different is my personalized approach—I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and special needs to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, stress-free transportation, cozy overnight stays, or secure boarding, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet owners choose me because I combine award-winning service, genuine compassion, and proven reliability. When you leave your pets in my care, you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and receiving the highest level of care. Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. Because I work away from home, providing services for multiple pet clients, my schedule is structured around ensuring that every animal receives consistent care and attention. Dogs in my care are never left for more than 4 hours at a time before being given a pee break, exercise, and playtime. This careful scheduling allows me to balance my client commitments while guaranteeing that pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I provide pet care both in my home and at the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For in-home care, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with access to playtime, walks, and social interaction. I have a fully fenced backyard. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and ensure pets receive plenty of attention and enrichment throughout their stay. For client-home visits, I treat each home as if it were my own, following the pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Dogs receive walks, potty breaks, and playtime according to their needs, while cats are given a calm, reassuring presence, along with feeding, litter maintenance, and companionship. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, comfort, and individualized care, making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—everything from playful kittens to older, more reserved senior cats. I understand that every cat has their own unique routine and preferences, and I always take the time to get to know what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or just offering quiet companionship and gentle affection, I make sure every cat I care for gets the love and attention they deserve. I'm also familiar with shy or anxious cats and have a calm, patient approach that helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. Pet care is a BIG part of my routine and forever has been. I am currently working in hospitality and at a reptile zoo. No matter my schedule, I will always prioritize time for making sure each animal feels safe, cared for, and loved. whether its popping by for a walk, quality playtime, snuggles or routine tank cleaning, I will be there. When their feeding times are, exercise scedule anything they are scared of or sensitive to, how often they like to be walked, any special considerations and any medications they need.

About: I absolutely love all animals and have taken care of many different kinds of pets including cats, dogs, horses, pocket pets (such as guinea pigs and rabbits) & even chickens and ducks. In addition to having 2 pups and 2 cats of my own, I have more than 7 years of experience including 3 years working in a small animal clinic as a veterinary assistant, and 4 years working in a pet boarding resort feeding, supervising play groups, and grooming pets. I also did a year of the Veterinary Technology program and learned many valuable things. Although I decided to choose a different career path in conservation biology biology, my love and passion for caring for your furry family members is still the same! I do work throughout the week so please check with me on my upcoming availability. I am happy to work around my schedule to figure out times that will work for both of us. Safety and trust are top priorities for me while looking after your furry friend. Please let me know if there are any health or behaviours I should know of before caring for your pet in order to keep everyone safe!
