“Ashley was great. It was a last minute request and she was able to accommodate. This was our first time using Rover and her frequent communication put us at ease.”
“Kendra was sooo sweet and patient with my shy cat. She gave us wonderfully detailed updates and my cat (who hates most people) actually seemed to like her. I was very impressed! Thank you, Kendra, we will certainly be in touch again!”
“Nadia did such a great job sitting our cat, Max. She attended to all of his needs, provided regular updates (with adorable photos), and let us know us know about issues promptly.

About: I love all dogs, I have owned dogs since I got my first golden Hannah when I was 7. I currently have have 1 dog Addy who is 9 years old and a complete sweetheart, he is 1/2 hound and 1/2 German Shepherd and is very good with other dogs. I also have 2 cats who are used to dogs and are OK with new dogs coming into the house if they are OK with cats. I have a room where we can do gradual introductions and I have done this a number of times. Safety for all is my first priority. I love walking and am happy to take your dog out and about at least twice a day, both Merrill bridge dog park and Monarch Park are within minutes and Ashbridges bay and the docklands down the road. I promise to keep them on lead and follow your instructions. I am experienced with senior dog care and can give medications as needed. I have a secure garden and a sunny back back where Addy loves to sleep in the sun. All pets are allowed on beds and sofas and our house is furry so no worries there. I am also happy to take them for a bath if needed and to groom them daily. I'm also happy to crate your pup if that's what they like. I have owned and looked after dogs and cats all my life and guarantee that your doggo will be loved, looked after and spoilt to bits. I'm currently based at home so I can provide supervised pet care at all times. My kids are 14 and 17 and take care of themselves :) I have a secure fenced yard at home and a sunny deck for sunbathing and promise to keep your pet on lead when out and about on walks. I can provide a room for them to decompress in or sleep in if needed, and also do a gradual introduction to our cats. I will stay in touch on Rover to let you know how things are going. If I am walking your dog from your house please provide a key in a lock box I will message you at pick up and drop off to let you know how things are. Please provide your vet details in case of emergencies and proof of vaccination and flea, tick treatment.
“Ali was GREAT. It was important to me to leave our baby with someone I could trust and she immediately made me and Yami feel comfortable. My Black cat walked right up to her and greeted her. She sent pictures which made us feel close to him. He seemed happy when we got home (though of course he was a bit upset we left at all). Ali is awesome, you should book with her! Highly recommend.”
“What a wonderful gentle spirit Taiah is. Lucky to have her.”
“Tania was fantastic and I definitely want to use her again in the future!! She was extremely communicative and conscientious, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, especially given my elderly cat. I had a really terrible experience with another sitter shortly before this and almost stopped using Rover, but Tania was able to make me feel totally comfortable again.”
About: I have owned or cared for all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses and had a pet Vervet monkey, a bush-baby, and a mongoose while living in Tanzania! These exotic pets were pretty special, but not the sort of pet I expect to see in Toronto. I have trained many dogs over the years and will reinforce your training regime while your dog is in my care. I love the outdoors, in all seasons. If you live nearby or your dog is staying over, I look forward to sharing the trails of Taylor Creek Park with them! I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to offer overnight boarding in my home or pet sitting in your home. I have a ravine close by for nice long dog walks and able to provide the exercise routine your pet is used to. My apartment is in a converted house with a private entrance. I live within walking distance of parks and the Taylor Creek ravine. In your home, I am a responsible, caring, experienced pet owner who respects both pets and owners alike.

About: Grown up having dogs at home all my life so far. My family and friends would always get me to dog sit their munchkins. I love walking and would love taking those munchkins for walks and have some playtime. Looked after all age group of pups and cats also looked after birds.Personally I simply cannot wait to have a pup of my own once i do settle in. I have always wanted to work for a pet store and did want to pursue carrier as a vet. Reliable, loyal, playful and lots of pampering are few other pointers about me. Back in India, I've not just had pups but also a variety of fish, turtles, birds and some reptiles.k Looking forward on working with you guys and an opportunity on interacting with your puppies. Thank you in advance for giving me an opportunity. I am a freelance Graphic designer so I'm pretty flexible with the days and timings. I usually like to maintain the routine that the pups are used to and follow them accordingly This is where the meet and greet comes in handy.having detailed information about the pup boarding in or coming in for day care helps making their stay/visit more comfortable. If there are more than 2pups involved, I make sure to take permissions from the parents before confirming they stay/visit. Lots of play time indoor, breaks and then walks.

7. Inna & Mahmut C.
“Hi all. Would like to leave a note here on Inna's work quality. In my opinion, she's an excellent person and petsitter. In my motherland all love animals. In Canada I noticed some people are super cruel though. It made me think how it would be possible to find a trustworthy one for my beloved puppy. I felt sincerely relieved when I met Inna. She takes good care of my dog 🐕. I can see that in his eyes when they came back home. He is like he would stay out forever each time Inna brings him back. I'm so happy.”
8. Caroline D.

15. Eric D.
“Eric looked after my pug, Ohio, last summer for a couple of weeks, while I was back home visiting family in England. He is such a caring person and clearly took so much joy in creating a comfortable “home away from home” for her. We FaceTimed several times together during the trip. He was always super responsive. And, most importantly, when Ohio suffered a flare up of a reoccurring health issue, he contacted me immediately and took her to the vets on my behalf, and stayed with her until my friend could take over. I recommended him to a friend who also left his dog in Eric’s care this winter. That all went very well too. I highly recommend Eric.”
16. Julia K.
