About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.
About: As a dog lover, past-owner and walker, I love having the privilege of walking, adorable, energetics puppies. I moved here from Vancouver 4 years ago, where the highlight of my day used to be walking all of my neighbours dogs after school. The unconditional love and puppy kisses made each walk a rewarding, happy experience :) i’m current available Monday- Thursday evening from 1pm-6pm (Friday-Saturday availabilities vary depending on the week) For other availability times i need a few days notice otherwise everything should be straight forward When caring for pets in my home or my clients' homes, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I provide a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring they have fresh water, nutritious meals, and regular exercise. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I follow any specific instructions regarding medications or special needs. I maintain open communication with clients, providing updates on their pets' activities and ensuring peace of mind. Ultimately, I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with love and attention throughout their stay.
“Our dog Roxy loved Sienna! We were in from out of town for graduation and Sienna did a great job taking care of our fur baby. She was a happy girl when we got back. We highly reccomend !”

“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: I have 2 dogs (golden doodles), ive been taking care of them for the past 11 years. I walk them 3 times a day, bath and cut their hair myself. With my 2 dogs, I walk them morning, afternoon and night, I always find a way to squeeze them around my schedule. I can do the same for you. I care for pets by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, comfort, and respect. I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed
“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“Cristine is the one you want to hired to take care of your dog. She is amazing! She came to our house to take care of our dog and we can tell he had a good time and was well take care of. She left our house spotless and we feel she went above and beyond to take care of Roscoe. I would recommand her 110%. And for sure we Will hired her again”
“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”
