âAmazing experience, she is so professional and kind. She arrived early to go over notes, super attentive and articulate during the meet and greet and Posto was happy and tired afterwards.â

âCarlee did a great job staying with Maisie. I received regular updates and photographs. She went the extra mile in leaving our home clean and tidy . Thank you Carlee! We look forward to having you back!â
âWalter stayed at our house over the long weekend to take care of our 2 German Shepherds. When we arrived home the house looked exactly as we left it, and the dogs were happy, even sleepy. Walter communicated with us during the weekend with photos and a couple texts. We are happy with Walter and would use his services again.â

About: Hi, Iâm Stef! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat mom of four, and dog mom of one. Iâve grown up surrounded by pets and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for them. I have experience with cats and dogs, and Iâd be happy to care for other companions too! Iâm comfortable feeding dry, wet, and raw diets, administering medications (including needles and inhalers), cleaning and refilling water bowls or fountains, scooping litter, walking pups, and giving plenty of playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship depending on your petâs needs. Whether itâs cats, dogs, or smaller furry friends, Iâll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while youâre away. đ I work remotely full-time, which means Iâm home most of the day and have lots of flexibility to come and go as needed. This makes it easy for me to fit in multiple drop-in visits, walks, or cuddle breaks with your companions. Once we connect, Iâll work with you to create a schedule that matches your routine and keeps your pets happy and comfortable! I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your companions feel safest and most at ease. I always follow your care instructions closely and treat your space with the same respect I give my own. To help pets feel secure, I often use calming sprays like Feliway (for cats) or Adaptil (for dogs). I also let pets approach me on their own terms and adjust my care to match their personality, whether theyâre shy, playful, or somewhere in between. My priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness while youâre away. My hourly daycare rate (in your home) is the same as my hourly drop-in rate. My House Sitting rate includes an overnight stay with your pets, covering the evening before and the following morning. For daytime or constant care during the day, please refer to my hourly Drop-In or daycare rate.
âour dogs were so well cared for and at our own home too. extra tlc, extra puppy love, photos and updates - we have been so fortunate to have had someone with Katherine's expertise, care and sensitivity to allow us peace of mind to travel and come home refreshed and happy to be reunited with our fur family. Highest recommendation is not enough. thanks again Katherine we will definitely book you in the future.â
âShelby was awesome and will 100% use again. She house sat my two large dogs and they seem to have loved her being here! She was extremely communicative and responsive and very flexible when we had to change dates at a months notice. House was clean on return and she is trustworthy. Very relived to have found a good pet sitterâ

About: Iâve had pet dogs and cats all of my life - as a child we had our darlings Coco and Brady, a welsh cocker spaniel and an Airedale terrier. My cats have been Stripes, Smokey, and Mittens. I just lost my love, Lucy, last year - a pug - shih tzu mix and currently have a pup named Alamo, who is a shih tzu terrier mix, rescued from Texas. Alamo is my baby that gets spoiled to the max! I have fostered dogs for a few years and am a foster for Toronto Humane Society. Alamo was a foster fail! I am a teacher who is new to London and waiting to be transferred to this school board. So in the meantime, Iâve got lots of time to take care of your furry loved ones. I have a fenced in backyard and Iâm super close to lots of hiking trails that your dogs would love very much. Also lots of space to separate pets if needed.
âWonderful companion for our Boys. Arrived promptly, and was patient with us when we were a bit later returning than planned. Great communication, and the dogs really like her. ????â

About: Looking for a pet sitter? Use code CINDRP89712 to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/cindrp89712 I have always enjoyed being around dogs and grateful for the joy they bring to our lives. I have had dogs my entire life. I have raised puppies, trained them and can provide high level of care as per your furry friends needs I am a work from home mom and I am available all 7 days a week. I make sure your pet gets lot of attention and daily exercise I have a large fenced yard and one friendly dog that will keep your best friend company with lots of play time and fun .
About: Growing up with two furry friends, a Pug and a Shihtzu, was a wonderful experience for me. I learned how to care for them from a young age, taking on responsibilities such as potty training, feeding, and obedience training. As they grew older, I made sure they received the best possible care and attention. My love for animals didn't stop there. I also enjoyed helping my neighbors with dog-sitting, and was a part of an animal rescue organization called ResQ in my hometown. This organization provided care and support to stray dogs and cats, which was a very fulfilling experience for me. When I moved to Canada, I wanted to continue serving animals in need, so I became a foster parent for Full Circle rescue. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to be able to provide a temporary home for dogs of all sizes until they found their forever homes. I will always cherish the memories of fostering these dogs and seeing them flourish under my care. Overall, my experiences with dogs have taught me so much about compassion, responsibility, and the importance of giving back to the community. As someone who works full-time from home with a flexible schedule, I've found it easy to incorporate my furry friends into my daily routine. Typically, my schedule involves taking my foster dogs for a morning walk at around 8am, followed by breakfast. Throughout the day, we have designated times for play, training, and nap time. In the evening, we go for another walk at around 6pm, followed by some more playtime and relaxation. Overall, my routine is designed to keep both me and my furry friends happy and healthy. Your furry friend will have plenty of space to run and play at my home, as I have a large living room and a balcony with high walls. Additionally, I have a crate and lots of toys available for your dog to play with. You can rest assured that your pet will receive lots of love and attention, as I live with two friends who also help me take care of my own pups. Together, we'll make sure that your furry friend has a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
âSamantha took great care of our girls and our home. Regular pictures and updates while we were away showed very happy pups, and we would not hesitate to book with Samantha again. Our dogs are big and can be intimidating to some with their barking and senior/medical needs, but Samantha met them with confidence. Her love for animals is evident - thanks again Samantha!â

Taryn was truly wonderful and went above and beyond while dog sitting in our home. She was reliable, communicative and even kept the house in wonderful condition. She provided daily updates with pictures, which is always welcome when we are away from our fur babies. I would 100% use Tayrn's services again, I know my two fur gals enjoyed her company!
