About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!
About: What makes me different is the extra care and attention I put into every pet I look after. I’m comfortable working with playful puppies who need training and patience, as well as older pets who may need a little extra love and support. I treat every animal like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats :) I am available on weekdays and Saturdays, making it easy to find a time that works for your schedule. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer sitting sessions, I can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I have a bug fenced in back yard and 2 friendly small dogs, I can watch your pets here or at your residence, whatever is preferred:)
About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I bring both lifelong experience and professional knowledge to every animal I care for. Having had cats my entire life, I understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities on a deep level, and I also had a dog growing up and have been taking care of dogs for years, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines as well. My work at a pet store has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and care practices. I’m confident providing attentive, specialized care for pets at every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need extra patience and support. I also have experience administering most medications, ensuring pets stay healthy and safe while you’re away. Above all, my genuine love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m a university student who recently experienced an unexpected change in my schedule, leaving me with more free time than I had planned. While I do have a part-time job, I’ve found myself wanting to stay more active and productive rather than feeling idle. That’s what drew me to an app like this—I’m excited to use my extra time in a meaningful way by helping others. Although my availability may vary at times, I’m eager to be as flexible and reliable as possible and look forward to supporting as many families as I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation, whether that’s walks, play sessions, or simply keeping them company. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and can provide extra support for senior pets, puppies, or kittens who may need more attentive care. In addition to caring for your pet, I keep your home clean, secure, and well-maintained so you can return with peace of mind knowing everything was handled responsibly.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.
About: I am a Physical Therapist Assistant who loves to stay fit and take my pet for a walk everyday. As someone who has a German Shepard husky mix and 2 lovely cats, I understand the importance of providing reliable, quality care. If I could, I would take in every stray cat and dog! My neighbors, friends, and family have all relied on me to provide essential services like walks, feeding, playtime, and bathing.

I have a yard that provides an area for dogs to run and play. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves to make new furry friends, and has plenty of toys and space to run around. If your dog is more comfortable being crated, I can easily accommodate that as well. For clients who prefer pet care services in their own home, I will make sure that your pets feel comfortable and safe in their familiar surroundings and you can trust me to provide top-quality care for your pets.
About: I grew up with two dogs when I was growing up and it helped to teach me with maintaining their routines, trying to reinforce positive behaviors, taking care of their medical needs and administering basic medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early. I treat each pet like they are my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, along with updates so you always feel confident they’re in good hands. I strive to create a calm, consistent environment so dogs can thrive even while their owners are away. I'm currently working retail part time so I am flexible during the week and weekends. I usually have Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Can do weekends per request I can take care of your furbabies however you need if they require certain medications, feeding schedules, walking or litter cleaning schedules I am flexible to work around you and their needs.
About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.

If there are events happening, I plan one month ahead as my work schedule we sort out our schedules the month prior.

“Shelby has been an absolute joy to deal with, and a lifesaver at times! She has been super flexible with scheduling and my Great Dane has really taken a liking to her. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years from having 2 cats at home and one dog, I am all taking care of a few dogs in Canada where I study and take them for walks and house sit when the owners are out of town. it helps me take a break from doing whatever to care for the pet and walk it and spend time with an animal for a few hours in a day to get my mindset different. On a daily basis I wake up and feed the dog and then take him/ her for a walk and play with the pet for a while and then take him/ her for an other walk and then at night I feed him/ her again and take him for an other walk and then one more before bed so I’m taking the pet for a walk around 4-5 times a day depends.

I originally became a groomer because of my genuine love for dogs, so spending my spare time walking them is a perfect fit for me. As a professional pet groomer, I am highly attuned to a dog's body language and physical well-being. During walks, I perform a quick safety check of the harness and lead before heading out. I prioritize a safe, controlled environment and use positive reinforcement to ensure every walk is secure and stress-free.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
