Courtney is conscientious, kind and a true animal lover. She took such good care of our two little dogs. We appreciated the photos, updates and communication. We came home to happy pets and our house just as we left it. Thank you Courtney ❤️

About: My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.

Sarah came to stay at our house for three nights so we could go away. The house looked exactly the same when I got home as when I left, very neat and tidy. My animals are very spoiled and I know that they received lots of attention when I was away. She sent pictures as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and look forward to having her come and look after my dog and cat again in the future.

Louise was amazing minding our 2 dogs overnight at our home, we had a trip planned for months and a sitter let us down last minute. On short notice Louise cancelled her own social event to help us out! Moving forward she will be our go to sitter, best we have found on Rover to date.

Kelsey stayed in my home for 7 days to care for my two dogs, a husky and a chihuahua, and I could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable and sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. It was clear my dogs were very well cared for. She also left the house clean and tidy, which was so appreciated after returning from vacation. Knowing my dogs were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I would recommend Kelsey in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.

Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have enjoyed caring for them since I was a child which has led me down a career path in veterinary medicine. I’ve owned large breeds and small breeds, and currently a Pomeranian who likes to be carried more than walked! I am a registered veterinary technician at Burnside Veterinary Hospital with additional volunteer experience prior to completing my education. I live a very active lifestyle and love to bring my pets along with me for my adventures! My experience in veterinary medicine will ensure your dog is safe and healthy under my supervision:) I currently work full time Monday-Friday. My evenings are typically free after 4pm and weekends are open as well. I do have one morning off per week, typically a Wednesday or Friday. Unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home due to my building having a no pet policy. However I like to have active communication with clients to ensure I have a full and detailed understanding of their pets needs and routine. Curating lists and schedules based off of pet and owner preferences is ideal to give proper care to their animal(s).

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’ve had experience with both small and large breeds, including Pomeranians, German Shepherds, and Huskies, so I’m comfortable with different energy levels and needs. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for I’m a full-time student with a flexible schedule, especially during the summer when I have wide availability. Even during the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and have plenty of time throughout the day to provide attentive, reliable care. Pet care is a priority for me, so I’m committed to being dependable and responsive. I provide a safe, attentive environment with plenty of supervision. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is closely monitored and dogs are always kept on leash to ensure their safety. I also have a friendly, active dog who can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. I’m able to crate dogs if needed for comfort or routine, and I always prioritize each dog’s individual needs to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: Hi! I'm Beth! 👋🏻 I've spent my whole life (nearly four decades!) with pets, and have been petsitting for family, friends, and neighbours for many years. Pet care is something I'm incredibly passionate about...so much so that I volunteer weekly at the SPCA. 🐶🐱 I'm confident with many personality types, comfortable with animal cues and body language, and familiar with obedience and training techniques.👌🏻 My primary goal is for your pet to feel safe and secure with me in your absence...whether it's going for a little adventure, cuddling on the couch, playing on the floor, or simply providing a peaceful presence, I'm committed to giving your pets my undivided attention...and quite probably a silly nickname! 💕 I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments; small animals ranging from birds to hedgehogs to chinchillas to aquarium species; and have spent my fair share of time caring for farm animals, as well! I am able to administer medications and cater to any special diets or other requirments necessary for the healthy care of your pet. 🐾🐾 I look forward to connecting with you so we can further discuss how I can help! 😊 I accept bookings 7 days a week for house-sits! *I am currently taking bookings up until June 26th, as I will then be away until September.* Trust is essential, and providing you with peace of mind is of the utmost importance to me. I always follow owner's routines for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and comfort. I provide consistent attention, maintain cleanliness, and send regular updates to ensure pets (and pet parents) feel safe, happy, and secure!

About: New to Rover? I’ve got a little welcome gift for you! 🎁🐶 Use my promo code BENC81459 and get $20 off your first booking when you sign up. About me 🙋‍♂️ 🐾 Structured, Loving, Caring and Attentive In-Home Dog Care ❤️ Hi, I’m Ben — a loving dog dad to three rescues: Jackson, Quincy, and Wee Jojo 💜 I work from home and intentionally keep my bookings limited to ensure every dog in my care receives focused, individualized attention within a calm, structured home environment. When your pup stays with me, they are integrated into my daily routine — not just “watched,” but genuinely loved and cared for. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety & Supervision Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. ✔ Fully fenced and secure backyard ✔ Dogs are always supervised while outside — never left unattended ✔ Baby gates installed for additional safety layers ✔ Separate feeding areas to prevent food guarding and manage allergies ✔ Dogs always kept on leash during walks I am experienced in reading canine body language and adjusting routines based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. ⸻ 🚶 Adventure Walks & Enrichment We are fortunate to live near beautiful trails, including scenic adventure walks around Bell Lake 🌲💧 Walks typically range from 1–2 hours depending on your dog’s energy level and include: • Structured leash walking • Sniffing and mental enrichment • Lakeside and wooded trail exploration Adventure walks are always tailored to your dog’s energy level, personality, and confidence. In addition, dogs enjoy: • Supervised backyard play • Evening neighborhood walks • Calm indoor enrichment and rest time ⸻ 🏡 Home Environment My home is designed with dogs in mind: • Three-level home with ample indoor space • Six dog beds throughout the house • Sofas and blankets available for comfort • Flowing water fountains on multiple levels (filters cleaned and replaced regularly) • Heated home during winter months • Dehumidifier for clean, comfortable air Dogs are welcome throughout my home. ⸻ ❤️ Rescue & Anxiety Experience I have extensive experience caring for rescue dogs and managing anxiety, including separation anxiety. Growing up, my mother rescued and fostered dogs on our family farm. I was actively involved in their daily care and learned early how to nurture nervous or sensitive dogs with patience and structure. Today, I continue that experience with my own three rescues. ⸻ 💬 Communication I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog. You will receive structured updates four times daily: ✅ Morning ✅ Afternoon ✅ Evening ✅ Before bed Each update includes photos, videos, and a brief summary so you always feel informed and at ease. ⸻ 📅 Meet & Greets I prefer to schedule a meet & greet before every first booking. This allows us to ensure a comfortable fit and gives your pup the opportunity to explore my fenced garden and interact calmly with my dogs. ⸻ 🌟 Final Note Providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is something I take seriously. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a significant decision — and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely confident in your decision, knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. ❤️ 📆 DAILY ROUTINE I work from home five days a week, which allows me to maintain a consistent and attentive routine for the dogs in my care. Morning (6:00 AM) We start the day early with a structured walk to the nearby lake. The round trip typically takes around two hours, providing exercise, enrichment, and calm exploration to start the day off right. Midday Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced garden, where they can safely run, play, and explore. Dogs are always attended and never left alone outside. Evening After work, we go for a relaxed walk around the neighborhood before settling in for the evening. Throughout the day, dogs also have access to comfortable indoor rest spaces and enrichment activities tailored to their energy level. 🛡️ Safety & Wellbeing My home is a safe, structured environment, and the safety and wellbeing of both your dog and my own dogs is my highest priority. Because I work from home, your dog will never be left alone. I am present throughout the day to supervise, monitor, and ensure everyone remains comfortable and secure. My property is fully fenced, and all outdoor time is supervised to maintain a safe and controlled environment.

Sarah took great care of our girls! Our senior dog needs some patience and is sometimes suspicious of me people but she liked Sarah right away on the first meeting! Our younger dog was engaged and happy. She is higher energy and she has a great couple of days. Thanks Sarah!

Sarah and her daughter were absolutely wonderful caretakers for our golden retriever and cat during their 9-night stay. Communication was excellent—they kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets received tons of attention, and our dog enjoyed his daily walks. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!
