“Walter stayed with our crew for an overnight and was absolutely wonderful our 3 dogs. He has the calmest and gentlest way about him and even our chihuahua who struggles with new people warmed up to him quickly. Walter send lots of pics and gave us updates throughout his stay which helped us know they were well taken care of. We will definitely use Walter again and highly recommend him! Thank you!”


“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!”


“Anna and Koji and are absolutely wonderful! Our dog is shy with new people, but she quickly warmed up them, giving kisses, snuggling and asking for belly rubs. Anna is super communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the visit, making us really comfortable and confident our anxious pooch is just fine. Anna and Koji are just lovely people who love animals and have so much love, care and attention to give. Highly recommend!”


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

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’ve been around dogs of all kinds my whole life! While I have never had a dog of my own, I’ve always wanted one and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbours to walk, feed, and play with their pups while they are out of town. Experienced with both large and small dogs, I have been pet/house sitting for people since I was 14. I’m currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time available to play with and care for your furry friends! I am available every day and would love to spend time with and care for your pets while you are away. I always follow the rules set out by the family when taking care of their loved pets. Whether it be special dietary needs, a walk schedule, or crating your dog, I will make sure to follow all guidelines so your fur baby can continue with their sense of routine while you are away.

“We have used Vanessa twice for boarding while we’ve been away and she is incredible! She is respectful of our home and does a fantastic job with our dog. She sends photos and videos daily which I really appreciate!”


“We came home and Bo was happy and relaxed. He seemed to have enjoyed some cuddles. We got some updates of Bo. First time being left with someone not part of our family and it worked out great! House was left tidy and our dog was great!”


“We were so happy with Lauryn’s care of our pets while we were away. She kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Our pets were well looked after, and it was clear they were in good hands. Our house was also spotless when we returned.We would definitely have Lauryn stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

I believe that pets truly are family and deserve respect, love and compassion. I sometimes find that I connect more with animals than people! Your pets will be very safe and fulfilled in my home.

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.
