“It always feels good and safe leaving my 2 cats home, when I am away. That’s because Christine takes over with small attentions and keeping the routine for my cats. It always turns out into a positive experience for everyone😻😻. Thank you again for your great services!”
“Marisa was a great sitter for our cats. She gave them extra attention and developed a routine with them which helped them know what to expect. We’re grateful for how caring and attentive she was. Definitely rebooking with Marisa the next time we have a trip planned.”
About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une grande place dans ma vie, et prendre soin d’eux est quelque chose que j’aime vraiment. Je suis promeneuse de chiens et gardienne d’animaux avec de l’expérience auprès de chiens de différentes tailles, de différents âges et avec toutes sortes de personnalités. Que votre chien adore les longues promenades énergiques ou préfère une petite balade tranquille remplie de reniflements, je vais m’assurer qu’il reçoit toute l’attention et les soins dont il a besoin. Je suis une personne patiente, fiable et attentionnée. Je crois que chaque animal doit se sentir en sécurité, confortable et aimé lorsque sa famille est absente. Je sais à quel point il est important de faire confiance à la personne qui s’occupe de votre compagnon, alors je traite toujours chaque animal comme s’il était le mien. Je partage également ma maison avec mon jeune Schnauzer géant, Mushu, qui m’a beaucoup appris sur l’éducation des chiots, l’enrichissement et le renforcement positif. Prendre soin de lui m’a aussi permis de mieux comprendre que chaque chien a sa propre personnalité, ses besoins et son rythme. Lors de chaque visite, je suis heureuse de vous envoyer des photos et un compte rendu afin que vous sachiez comment va votre animal. Mon objectif est que vous puissiez partir l’esprit tranquille, en sachant que votre compagnon est entre bonnes mains et qu’il passe un bon moment. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre famille et vos adorables compagnons! 🐶🐱💕 Je suis disponible du lundi au vendredi, de 9 h à 15 h, pour offrir des services de garde et de promenade à vos compagnons. 🐾 Cet horaire me permet de consacrer pleinement mon temps aux animaux dont je m’occupe, que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite à domicile ou des soins auprès de votre chat. Je suis ponctuelle, organisée et je m’assure de respecter la routine et les besoins de chaque animal. 🐶🐱💕 Je n’offre pas de garde à mon domicile pour le moment, mais je peux me déplacer chez les propriétaires pour m’occuper de leurs animaux. Pour les chiens, je peux faire des visites pendant la journée afin de leur offrir une pause pipi, une petite promenade et de l’attention. Je m’adapte au rythme et aux besoins de chaque chien. Pour les chats, je peux également faire des visites à domicile pour m’occuper de leur nourriture et de leur eau, nettoyer la litière, leur offrir de l’attention et m’assurer qu’ils vont bien pendant l’absence de leur famille. Mon objectif est que chaque animal se sente en sécurité, confortable et bien accompagné jusqu’au retour de ses propriétaires. 🐾💕
“Amazing service by Kelsey with my cat! Even if we hadn’t discussed it, she went above and beyond by emptying the litterbox and making sure my cat was comfortable :) thank you Kelsey!”
About: I have a high level of comfort around animals, having been raised around 3 dogs and 2 cats. I provide frequent dog walking and pet sitting assistance for friends and family and am comfortable with cats and dogs of any size. I am currently working full time fr 9-5 and would be available to provide care before or after those hours. I am happy to be flexible on occasion if needed. I also work anytime during weekends. I love animals of all kinds and show patience and care in all my services. I usually stick to neighborhood walks but am happy to use specific routes as needed. I understand the importance of following routines and instructions for pet care so will make sure your little one is well taken care of according to your expectations.
About: Growing up in China, I had a sweet Bichon Frise, and that’s where my love for animals began. After moving to Canada, I became a cat parent and have now been caring for cats for over eight years. I currently have two cats of my own, both with very different personalities—one is outgoing, affectionate and curious, while the other is more sensitive and needs a little extra time to feel comfortable. Living with them has taught me that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. Some cats want to be your best friend right away, while others prefer you to sit quietly nearby and let them make the first move. I’m happy to do both! I’m patient, attentive and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll never rush them before they feel safe. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, keep their food, water and litter area clean, spend time playing or cuddling with them, and send you photos and updates. I also have experience giving oral medication when needed and can follow instructions carefully. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language feels most comfortable for you. Skills 🐾 – patient and gentle with shy or nervous pets – attentive to behaviour and body language – feeding, litter care, playtime and brushing – medication and care instructions – photo and message updates Experience 🐶🐱 – over eight years of caring for cats – currently a cat parent to two lovely boys – grew up caring for a family dog – comfortable with pets of different personalities and energy levels Available on weekdays after 5PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for your pet, making sure they feel safe and well looked after while you’re away🥰 My home has several separate rooms, so visiting pets can have their own quiet space when needed. I also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, with plenty of trails nearby for walks and exploring.
About: Depuis mon enfance, j’ai toujours été entourée de chiens.

De plus, je suis famille d’accueil pour la SPCA, où j’ai pris soin d’animaux ayant parfois des besoins particuliers.

“Geneviève a très bien pris soin de Jambon et de Patrick. J’étais contente d’apprendre que Patrick, qui est habituellement très timide, s’était montré très affectueux envers elle. Elle s’est assurée de me tenir au courant et a accordé une grande attention à mes chats. Ils étaient heureux à mon retour. Je la recommande fortement.”
“Anika took very good care of our two cats! She sent us lots of detailed updates and pictures while we were away. She also left the house super clean. Thank you for caring for our cats while we were away!”
About: I have taken care of my 10 dogs back home for many years. I have cooked, fed, groomed and taken care of them all by myself for years. For a majority of them, I've done this since the day they were born. I recently moved to Canada and I'm missing them terribly so I am eager to look after dogs in general! I go to university, so the days I do not have classes I can do the things I need anywhere. I can take them out for walks frequently, feed them on your desired schedule, play with them often and just generally give them attention and love! I currently do not have any other dogs in my current home so I am able to give your dog the maximum and utmost attention they require and deserve.
“Our cat is quite anxious, so honestly, we weren’t even expecting to get photos of her not hiding under the bed haha. But we were so happy to see that she was relaxed around Sarah and even let her pet her. Sarah gave us clear and timely updates throughout the visits, and communication with her was very comfortable. When we came back, we found our home clean and most importantly, our cat was friendly and didn’t seem stressed at all. We would be very happy to have Sarah look after her again!”
“Tori did a wonderful job looking after our three cats. She was consistently on time and genuinely attentive, taking the extra moments to pet them and spend real quality time with each of them. She also cleaned up any messes they made, keeping everything neat and stress-free for us. She is definitely our go-to person for pet care, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated.”
“This was my first time using Rover & I was a bit nervous but very quickly I felt comfortable having Brianna take care of my elderly cat. I would definitely recommend Brianna & so would Shelby!”
About: I've had a pet most of my life but in the last few years I decided to foster cats instead of owning any pets. I've had all age groups and different levels of care needed. From fresh out of the womb to geriatric and needing daily medications. We fostered 20 kitties! I also petsit my asthmatic fur nephew and have experience administering a pump to him. I do have kids that are left at home and they're 19, 13 and 9. They're very respectful towards all animals! Though my husband and kids will be here with me while I'm taking care of your pet(s), I will be the only one providing care. I'm use to having an animal around and am very flexible and able to accommodate different routines and needs. I understand that all pets are different and have unique personalities. With having fostered for a few years now, I'm able to pivot based on any specific needs an animal may have, whether that means giving extra cuddles, giving space or hiding spots to decompress, comfy beds to lounge. I make sure any pet in my care is safe and that any potential dangerous items are put away. All my windows have screens and I don't open them wide enough for anyone to escape.
About: I'm an animal lover and advocate through and through, and always willing to put an animal's needs before my own! I work from home for an animal advocacy organization and am easily able to adapt my schedule to accommodate animals’ needs. I currently work from home running my own non-profit organization. Therefore, I have the freedom and flexibility to attend to companion animals' needs as required, as well as take a break from work to play with them! Note: I currently have a cat that prefers her space so I am only offering to attend to your pet at your home at this time.
About: I’m 19 years old and have plenty of experience with dog sitting and daily dog care. I grew up around dogs my whole life and, until recently, helped care for three dogs, one of which sadly passed away. Before that, I also had another family dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, supervising, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy looking after animals. Available all day Friday through Sunday, with flexible midweek availability that I can adjust around my mechanical engineering summer courses when needed, just inform me prior. I also offer house sitting in the owner’s home, along with reliable dog walking services, ensuring pets stay comfortable, active, cared for, and relaxed in a familiar environment.
“Laura was the best!! She is so kind and friendly! Treated my two cats like her own while I was away. First time using rover and it was an amazing experience. Definitely pick laura to look after your fur babies”
