“Stefanie was so wonderful! Reliable and communicative, our cats were really well taken care of, especially in terms of very important medication being administered. We had such peace of mind while being away from them. Would rehire her again in an instant.”

About: I've enjoyed having pet dogs for over 20 years and really love getting to know their personalities. I want to help you feel confident your pets are receiving the best care and attention while they can't be with you! I currently work Mon - Friday, so am limiting services to weekends and holidays. I won't show availability on the calendar unless I am off and available to spend the necessary time looking after your pet. I have a well cared for home with a fenced yard. We do not have any dogs of our own at this time. Lots of walking trails just outside our door for interesting walks! We are just a few minutes off the 401 at the Elgin Rd exit #203.

“Walter was great for our puppy, easy to communicate with, followed instructions and sent great updates and pictures! I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to others!”

“Erin was super caring, friendly, and professional! This was our first time booking through Rover and our first time leaving our two cats for more than a couple days so I was very apprehensive but Erin was lovely, accommodating, and clear. My one cat is definitely a velcro cat who wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone but me and is very skittish and nervous, so she (very expectedly) hid under the bed for all of her visits, but Erin always made sure to still try her best to make her feel included and cared for in every visit :) Thanks again!”

About: Hi, I recently lost my sweet terrier and he was not kennel suited so I understand that it’s comforting to have your your pet taken care of in a home. I have 2 cats but but they’re dog savvy and will hang out downstairs if they’re not comfortable. I would be most available on weekends as I’m home. Let me know what works for your pet. Walks, cuddles, and couch all included. I’ve had pets all my life and look forward to hanging out with yours. I have an easy going lifestyle and a large space with a fenced yard. Feel free to check it out before booking. Meet my pet and ensure this is a safe, comfortable place for yours. Thanks! I’m in the office a few days a week but can come home at lunchtime .Weekends are best but we could also work something out for during the week! I’m pretty flexible! We have a big home and a main floor with minimal stairs. We’re easy going and enjoy all types of dogs. Room for crates if needed and lots of dog beds for your pet to lounge in.I have a large fenced yard for your dog to run and play!

“Took great care of my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. Sent pictures, videos, and asked questions about his behaviour just to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend!”

About: Caring for animals has always been something I love doing, I adore all animals like they’re my own. I have grown up with dogs since before I could walk and many different breeds (large and small) and currently own two dogs of my own now. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, so I do my best to make them feel right at home. Whether that means going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or just giving extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I love getting updates of how my pups are doing while I’m away and receiving pictures when my pets are being cared for by someone else, so I will make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. If there is anything you need to let me know so I can provide the best possible car to your pet, I will be happy to do so. I currently work in the evenings most days but am available to drop in to care for your pet in the mornings till 3pm and on weekends. Walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends I can do but unfortunately, because of my own pets I am not available for over night stays. I keep my home clean, safe, and clutter-free to create a safe environment for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I’m committed to following each pet’s specific needs, schedule, and care instructions to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

“Kat , thanks so much for the great photos of Lucy! We really appreciate the check in’s”

“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!!”

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: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am attentive to details such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication requirements, and behavioral cues. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, an adult dog, a senior pet who needs extra patience, or a cat that prefers a calmer approach, I tailor my care to fit each pet. I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by treating every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their well-being a priority. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication if needed, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I am organized, dependable, and committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I also make time to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets, my priority is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if required, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. Pets receive regular exercise, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. I monitor their behavior closely and make sure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and the attention they need to feel at home. Above all, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and kindness that I would give my own.

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.

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 experience with walking neighbors dogs and dog sitting for a couple friends including dogs with separation anxiety. Even small dogs that hate men i do my best to work with them I'm currently full time at fanshawe college but my hours are rather open despite that. A stable internet connection and I can do most things anywhere. I have experience with taking care of animals with separation anxiety, rather needy pets that desire a lot of attention and many other small things. I don't have much experience with this app but hoping to get some :)

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: I’ve taken care of cats for a few years now, having 1 cat in my house and 3 total in my family! I also have lived with 2 different cats in university and cat sat regularly for others. Have experience with cats with PICA and anxiety. I work from Monday to Friday in Toronto (4 days are in person and depend on the week)! Pet care would fit into my routine in the mornings and at night (in the day if needed I can work from home). Because I have cats at my home I am able to care for your pets in your home! This gives them comfort in their own space.
