About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from puppies to seniors, and understand how their needs change over time. I’m patient with puppies, consistent with adult dogs’ routines, and gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral meds and injections, and I carefully follow all care and health instructions. I also have knowledge of canine CPR and stay calm and focused in emergency situations. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I promise to give them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I have a very open schedule as I do make my own. I have a vehicle so this also makes it easy to commute to and from your home. I provide personalized care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow their routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, and I’m comfortable administering medications or injections if needed. I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved, while keeping their home tidy and giving you peace of mind.

About: Having experience with a range of pets allows me to be flexible in my service and help care for many pet needs. Beyond dog and cat care, I can provide any needs to bunnies, hamsters, or other small creatures. Given that, I excel at both dog and cat care and am more happy to accommodate any requests you may have. Since I am on a summer schedule, and have no studies, I am open to any and all times that work for you. I am incredibly flexible and willing to fit pet care into any time of my weekly routine. Personally, I keep all three of my cats indoors to ensure that they are safe, comfortable, and have a warm/cozy environment to play in. Also, when I care for dogs, I ensure that I have eyes on them at all times due make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. I will always be wary of dog's personality and will listen to any request you may have regarding the safety of your dog. All in all, my experience with cats and dogs have given me the opportunity to make certain that they are safe and well-cared for.

About: I will care for your pet as if it were mine. I am an all around animal lover. I don't own a dog but I do have a cat. Spending time with your pet will be important to me because it will mean that your mind is at ease. Your busy schedule won't allow you to be with your pet all the time and that is what I am here for! I can give your dog a good brush and belly rub and a good walk and/or play time at the dog park. I may not have full time dog experience but that will not prevent me from giving them the attention and care they deserve. I am happy to help when available. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I work away from home four days a week and am available on weekends. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. If they are high energy I will play with them. If they are low energy, I will give them cuddles. It all depends on the animal and what they need.

About: Bonjour et bienvenue sur mon profil🐶🐈 ! Grande amoureuse et passionnée des animaux, je débute sur Rover avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme et de sérieux. Étudiante en droit, je souhaite allier plaisir et travail en prenant soin de vos compagnons comme s’ils étaient les miens. J’ai de l’expérience en gardiennage d’animaux, autant avec une autre application qu’auprès de ma famille et de mes amis. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper de chiens et de chats, parfois plusieurs en même temps. J’ai élevé deux chiens, dont un border collie que j’ai depuis qu’elle était chiot et qui a aujourd’hui 10 ans. J’ai aussi travaillé dans des fermes et pratiqué l’équitation pendant plusieurs années, ce qui a renforcé ma passion et mon aisance avec les animaux. Ma passion pour les animaux se reflète également dans mon domaine d'étude où j'ai eu la chance d'être stagiaire en droit pour l'organisme bénévole Droit Animalier Québec. Sérieuse, attentionnée et disponible, je m’engage à offrir à votre animal toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins dont il a besoin. Avec moi, votre compagnon sera entre de bonnes mains 🐾 Je suis actuellement étudiante en droit et je n’ai pas d’emploi pour le moment. Je cherche donc un moyen de m’amuser tout en gagnant un peu d’argent pendant mes études. J’ai beaucoup de temps libre et j’adore les animaux, donc m’occuper d’eux me semble être une expérience à la fois enrichissante et agréable. Pour moi, pouvoir allier plaisir, soin des animaux et petite rémunération serait vraiment idéal ! Je sais m'adapter selon les besoins de votre animal. Si votre chien a besoin de dépenser de l'énergie je peux le faire faire des tours ou le promener durant la visite. Je suis habituée à plusieurs types de personnalité. Que ce soit les chiens/chats plus calmes, Mais qui ont besoin de plus d'affection, je suis là pour ça !

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.

About: Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember.Now at this time in my life I have the time, patience, and genuine love to devote to every pet I look after. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My calm attentive nature helps animals feel comfortable and secure, especially those who may be shy or anxious. I am currently retired and have open availability. I have taken care of my own pets over the years and I'm looking forward to taking care of yours. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive in your home, and I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and detail-oriented.

About: With three years of experience working on a farm and taking care of love ones dogs and cats, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals, from the smallest kittens to the largest livestock. This hands-on background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and the skills to confidently look after pets of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they receive the best possible care. As a devoted stay-at-home dog mom, my days revolve around my furry family members. This means I'm always available to give your pup constant companionship, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they could ever want. My flexible schedule ensures they get regular walks, playtime, and a comforting presence throughout the day, just like my own dogs do. My home features a secure, fenced yard, offering a safe and fun space for your dog to play and explore. While I love giving pups plenty of freedom, I also understand that some dogs are more comfortable in a crate, or that it might be your preferred method. Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always loved all pets and animals. Growing up in Italy, my family always loved to have a non-human family member to take care of. My fondest childhood memories were playing with our labrador retriever, Lola, and later adopting another dog named Spenk (named after a popular anime cartoon charater in Italy at the time) in my adolescence. We also had pet chipmunks at one time! I continued living with and taking care of dogs while I lived with host families in Austrailia and New Zealand in my 20s. When I moved to Canada and later met my now-wife, she was a dogsitter through Rover. It was through her that I was able to discover this opportunity and help her with the various responsibilities that came with petsitting. I find taking care of pets in this way to be so rewarding - it boosted my mood, and helped get me moving! Unfortunately, my wife is no longer able to continue being a petsitter due to the committments of her current full-time job. However, since moving to the National Capital Region, we have regularly watched our friends' pets, both at our house and theirs. We both agree, that we really hope to have a pet of our own one day, but for now the best way to fill that void is for me to continue petsitting. I always find it so exciting to have a new "friend" be apart of my day that I can't help but give them my undivided attention. No matter this age, size, or energy level of your pet, I will always stive to give them the exact amount of play, walks, bathroom breaks, treats, and overall attention they may need. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Pet owners need to have a great deal of trust in their petsitters. Whenever I watch pets, I love to have constant communication with the owner - sending them regular updates and photos throughout the day. Even if their pet is having no problems and seemingly a very happy time, it's still important that the owners know that so they feel more at ease. We thankfully have a very large backyard which would make bathroom breaks very easy, however, at the moment our yard is not fenced, so I would only feel comfortable taking them on bathroom breaks both on-leash and supervised. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Additionally, we live in a bungalow with a door that closes, so we can block off stairs if that is also a concern for you.
