About: I provide more than just pet sitting I create a safe, loving environment where you pets are treated like family from the moment they arrive. Every dog in my care gets genuine attention, patience, affection, one on one time because I know pets aren't "just animals." Pets are companions, comfort and part of the family. I treat every pet the way I would treat my own and love updating fur mamas and pops on how there fur baby is doing!! I am a professional boxer and on my off time when I am not getting ready for competition my hobby is taking care of dogs and being outside! I have a very flexible schedule and do my very best to make it easy and stress-free for both pets and owners. I love going on walks, keeping dogs active, and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs (Ollie and Lola) to help keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a 20lb dog who is a Maltese shihtzue and a 10lb dog who is a dachshund. As long as your dog is friendly and gets along with other pets, they will do amazing in this environment with lots of play, attention and care!
About: I have 10 years of personal and professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience includes working with energetic small breeds, such as Yorkies, Toy Poodles, and Miniature Goldendoodles, as well as high drive working breeds. For the past two years, I’ve raised and trained my own German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, Kahlua. Raising Kahlua has given me extensive hands-on experience in structured exercise, leash handling, mental stimulation, and behavioural management. On the specialized care side, I also managed medical care for my childhood Maltese, Bella, which included administering daily insulin injections during her battle with pancreatic cancer. I believe every dog has a unique personality and specific physical needs, and I will adapt quickly to ensure each pet feels comfortable and happy. I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and become a new friend in their life! I am currently pursing my JD and am a full time student. I have an open schedule on the weekends and am very flexible on the weekdays from Wednesday to Friday. In terms of care, I make your pets safety my upmost priority (coming from a very anxious dog mom) while still ensuring they have fun.
About: I provide calm, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, with experience in owning cats, dogs and birds throughout my life. I currently have a rescued Croatian Sheepdog named Cassie. Cassie was rescued from an abusive environment when she was 2 so I have experience in calming and caring for anxious rescue dogs. I’ve had Cassie for almost 7 years now and it’s been incredible watching her become confident and truly just being a dog. I'm a professional soccer player, and the discipline, patience, and teamwork that come with the game are exactly what I bring to pet care. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I'm now starting the next chapter of my career in animal care. Through Karen Pryor Academy I'm studying Dog Training Foundations with hopes to becoming a certified dog trainer, and working with Rover is helping me gain hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments. Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them with patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of exercise. Right now I’m staying at my mom’s house in the inner suburbs of Toronto with a fenced backyard and park across the street for a perfect environment for walking dogs.
About: Hi there! I had a dog and was babysitting dogs and cats. I’m very responsible and have a great connection with pets. They like to spend time with me 😍 I’m currently working part time for a foreign company in early mornings, it’s also flexible work. So basically I’m free almost all the time 😉 “I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether in my home or the client’s. This includes feeding, playtime, walks, cleaning up after them, administering medications if needed, and offering plenty of affection and attention to make them feel at ease.”
About: I have experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages, and breed. I know basic training techniques and use positive reinforcement. I appreciate all different types of personalties and I am able to form comfortable connections I am home most of the day, and have many parks and walking paths right outside my door. There is an amazing dog park two minute drive away My home is a calm and casual environment. Every creature has the run of the place and is based on mutual respected. Safe playful, lots of naps when needed.
About: With over 4 years of dedicated experience, I specialize in the unique needs of small and medium breeds (under 40 Ibs). I understand that "little" doesn't mean "low energy"— whether it's a spirited Frenchie or a sensitive Maltese, I provide a calm, controlled environment where your pup can feel secure without the stress of larger, more boisterous dogs. My day is built around high-attention care. We start with fresh water, breakfast, and a gentle walk or backyard playtime to get those little legs moving. Throughout the day, I incorporate frequent potty breaks and short play sessions to keep energy levels balanced. Evenings are all about wind-down time and plenty of cuddles, mimicking the cozy home routine your pet is already used to. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their "home away from home." I maintain a strictly small-dog-friendly environment, prioritizing safety by keeping floors clear and exits secure. Your pup will enjoy supervised play and cozy rest areas without the chaos of a crowded kennel. For sittings in your home, my priority is minimizing stress by sticking to your pet's established habits. I follow your specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and "potty" cues to keep their day predictable. I also provide detailed home security-bringing in mail and watering plants-so you can travel with total peace of mind.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own a 4 year old and a 3 month old, i absolutely love seeing dogs happy and having fun. It brings me joy playing with them and giving them the best!

I also work at Pet Value so I absolutely love all animals:) I will make sure they are fed, washed, walked / went to potty, and overall having a great time.

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I have 15 years of experience with dogs and have shared my home with cats since childhood. My own pets have taught me how much patience, attention, and consistency matter. Every animal I’ve had has come into my home and has been there forever homes. I work full-time, but I work from home and I have a very flexible work schedule so I am able to take time out of my day to care for pets in my community. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive about leashes, doors, and their surroundings, and I’ll keep my own pets separate unless we’ve agreed otherwise.
About: I love all furry friends & enjoy taking care of them when their owners are away. Happy to play with them in my house or in my fenced in backyard. I also enjoy taking them on car rides and to the dog park or on walks (owner permitting). I work a few hours a day during the week but when I’m gone my mom who also loves animals will play and take care of them. Happy to board or dog sit on a daily or overnight basis for 1 day or night or up to one month based on owner needs I have a fenced in backyard and provide a safe environment for all furry friends and can keep in their crate if preferred by owner
About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for over a decade, I have worked for local businesses as a dog walker, I’ve been a dog owner for almost 8 years, and I know what dog need, love, attention, lots of walking, lots of petting, and someone that will care for them just like they were their own. My work is in the evenings between 3 PM and 8:30 PM, so I have lots of time during the day and lots of time at night to make sure that your little one is walked well and will be taken care of during the day while you’re at work! Whether it’s at your home or my home, my focus will be primarily on your furry friend, in a safe and happy environment so that they feel comfortable and it’s easy for them to adjust. I live near Mill Pond as well, so it would be a great opportunity to get a big walk around the pond!

“Lydia was professional and took great care of my cats when I'm away. This was my first time using Rover and not gonna lie, I was a bit worried at the beginning, but Lydia proved otherwise. She made sure my cats had eaten enough and had also given lots of love. Communication with her was also a great plus, not only she wrote a report for each visit, but also included cute pictures of my cats every time. She was on time for each visit and didn't mind staying a little longer when necessary. Thank you so much Lydia, I will definitely be in touch the next time we go away :)”

If it weren't for Jake, I don't think I could have gone away on vacation at all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jake is so easy to book with and was so kind and considerate! If anyone ever needs a walker/sitter, Jake is the number one person I'd recommend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: People in my life have always trusted me to take care of their beloved furry friends and I always try to listen to what the pet really wants or needs. I get along easily with every pet I meet, and I keep them smiling all day! I'm a student, so I can easily watch and take care of your pets while doing some readings or assignments, and take play breaks for the both of us! I typically stay in common areas in the home like the living room or kitchen and try to keep the animal in the same area as me. If not, I'll periodically check on them or call them down to where I am to hang out, to protect your privacy!
