“Stefanie was great! The pictures and updates reflected how very caring and attentive she was. We felt at ease knowing she was caring for Enzo. Stefanie also left Enzo's food and litter area very clean! We would definitely hire her again.”

“Emily provided wonderful pet sitting services during my weekend vacation out of town. Received many updates on how my cats were doing, as well as pictures from throughout her visits. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”

“This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”

I provide calm, reliable in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I am naturally very patient, gentle, and attentive.

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've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation. I'm very patient with animals, including senior animals, and provide them with love and care while you're away! I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too! I will ensure to stick to your guidelines provided to create a safe environment for the animals. I will also keep a close eye on them and spend lots of time with them!

About: Hi! I’ve been a professional dog trainer for the past two years specializing in puppy socialization and service dog training. I’ve moved up to Canada for school so I’m looking for something I can do between classes. I had a senior dog who I cared for throughout the end of his life so I’m comfortable with dogs who use diapers and am strict about taking medications on time. I’d love to talk and find out if I would be a good fit! Currently I am a dog trainer and student so I have some time between classes and clients. I’d love to have a reason to take my free time to go on a walk or hike rather than scroll on my phone. If I’m watching animals I will gladly have time to stop in and play with them or if they just want to cuddle I’ll happily grab my homework and cuddle them while reading. For taking care of dogs in a clients home unless the yard is fully fenced and secured taking the dog out on a leash and their regular walking gear for any outside time. I don’t believe in letting dogs greet on leash so while out on walks I will avoid other dogs but will gladly let people say hi (as long as that’s cleared by the owner). I also need to know if any allergies or weight concerns as I carry treats while outside of the house to help manage any behaviour with positive reinforcement.
About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs as well as friends and families animals of all kinds. I love all animals and want to make sure they also feel loved. Good at enforcing training and sticking to schedules. Currently not working so I have lots of time to spend with your furry companions. I have my own car so I will be able to commute back and forth. I make sure to ask questions when I’m unsure and read up on any information provided to me about the animals, the home, and the schedule.

About: I’ve had dogs for 20+ years, while I lived with my parents we fostered Australian shepherds and in 2015 I adopted one of our fosters. Her name is Olive. As well I have a cat and his name is Korin. I love having animals at home with our kids. I’m currently on maternity leave so my schedule is quite flexible. My son starts school from 8-12 so anything outside drop off and pick up times are the best for me and the baby I have a lovely fenced in yard for my girl, I love playing with our animals and lots of snuggles are always had in our home.
“Lidiya was amazing! She took such great care of Aspen. I was very anxious leaving her as this was the first time i’ve ever been away from her, but Lidiya sent me so many photos and notes about her! She even went above and beyond and unloaded some groceries that got delivered while i was away. Will definitely book her again in the future.”
