“Ashton was wonderful. She used her initiative to decide how to walk, our not walk our senior dog and ensure our 1 year old was well walked each day. She was punctual and ensured we got timely updates and photos. We highly recommend her services.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Through my Veterinary Assistant program at St. Lawrence College, I have gained hands-on experience working with both cats and dogs, learning how to safely handle and restrain them, understand their behaviours, and recognize their individual needs. My education has also given me a better understanding of animal health, proper care, and the importance of making animals feel safe and comfortable. Outside of school, I have experience raising and caring for my own two cats and dog, which has taught me so much about the patience, time, and attention that goes into being a pet owner. From keeping up with their daily routines and making sure they are happy and healthy to getting to know their different personalities and quirks, I truly enjoy being around animals. I am a patient, caring, and attentive person who loves getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have lots of availability during the afternoons and on weekends, but I'm also more than happy to communicate and adjust scheduling needs whenever possible. I'm always willing to accommodate where/if I can! I would care for pets in a client's home just as I care for my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a large-breed dog of my own who lives with me in an apartment, so we're very used to staying active through daily walks, trips to the park, and finding ways to burn off energy. This has taught me how important regular exercise, patience, and keeping pets entertained can be. I'm also comfortable with crating when needed, and I understand that every pet has their own routines, preferences, and needs. I would always do my best to keep their routine consistent, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel right at home!
“Britney was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. I’m a bit of a worry wart when it comes to leaving my cats, and she was so patient with me and understanding. And of course, she was amazing with my cats!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since my family adopted our first miniature schnauzer when I was seven. Since then I have adopted two adult cats and have tried to spend as much of my free time as possible around animals of all kinds. I work full time, but am available for mornings, evenings, weekends and overnights. I work remotely two days for week and have some flexibility in my hours at my day job. My cats have been on special diets or medications at times and I am comfortable accommodating this. I can work with cats of any temperament, my own youngest was semi-feral when she joined my family. I am comfortable providing enrichment, crating and walking dogs of any size! I definitely have a soft spot for terriers!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 12 years, and dogs are my biggest passion. I’ve fostered everything from whole litters of puppies to pregnant moms, energetic young dogs and sweet seniors, so very little surprises me anymore. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I adjust my care to fit each dog’s age, energy level and personality. I have two dogs of my own, and I take turns watching four more in my extended family, so there’s almost always a pup in my life. I’m experienced with helping senior dogs with mobility issues, whether that means slower walks, a hand getting up, or a little extra patience. I can also give medications at scheduled times, as long as you leave clear instructions. Your dog will get plenty of exercise with me. That could be a long walk or a game of fetch in a backyard or fenced area. Rain, snow or shine, walks still happen! Your dog’s safety matters to me, so while they’re in my care they won’t be around any unfamiliar dogs or animals. I’m also happy to help with grooming and extra care, like brushing their fur, brushing their teeth, cleaning their ears or putting balm on their paws. Just ask ahead of time and tell me how your pet usually reacts to these things so I can keep them comfortable. Before I walk or watch your pet, please share anything I should know, like their behaviours, medications, quirks and favourite routines. The more I know, the more at home they’ll feel. I’ve also cat sat for a few years. I’m not a cat expert, but I’m confident handling their routines and happy to follow your instructions. I’m comfortable with most other animals too. I’m currently in school, but I only have classes for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of free time for walks, drop-ins and sitting during the week. I also work one evening shift a week, which is only a few hours. My weekend availability changes because I sometimes go home for the weekend, so please message me ahead of time and I’ll let you know if I’m around. Keeping my calendar up to date is a priority for me, so you’ll always know when I’m free. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, safety comes first. I keep the space clean and pet-safe, and I’m careful about keeping doors and gates closed so no one can slip out. At my place, we have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air safely. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules so your pet feels comfortable and things stay just how you left them.
About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts for the last 20 years. It started with family friends and eventually my name spread. I have cared for animals of all sizes, from pocket dogs to giant breeds. I have cared for puppies and kittens, and senior animals, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past and built some experience working with animals that required medication in both needle and pill form. My greatest asset is my ability to match your schedule as closely as possible, helping ensure your animal experiences minimal disruption and stays as relaxed as possible. I own a content marketing business and I am able to work flexible hours. This means I can meet pet care needs whenever and wherever you need. My work schedule can work around you and your pet. When I look after animals in client homes, I leave the smallest foot print possible. My focus is on your pet. I will respect the rules and boundaries you have set for them and keep your home as you left it. Other than a happy pet, there will be no other signs that I was there.
About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elginburg
Robyn consistently takes great care of my two cats. One day before my trip, my kitten was prescribed oral medication and ear drops. Robyn reassured me that she was comfortable giving both medications and she sent me both written and photographic updates every day as to how he was tolerating the medication! I am always comfortable leaving them in her very capable hands.
Buddy had the best care while we were away. Normally, he’s pretty aloof and skittish, so we’re always reluctant to leave him. However, Katherine sent us regular photo updates of him living his good life, which put us at ease while we were away. I highly recommend!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
