“Jenn is great with our four cat household. We’ve booked short and long spans and she always has the same amount of enthusiasm for hanging out with the cats. Great at updates, and manages automatic feeders and litter boxes well.”

“Bruna is fantastic!! Canelita was very happy with her and her company. Always punctual, responsable, professional and knows how to approach to big dogs. Bruna is a very nice person. Thank you for all your help!!”

“Lydia was absolutely amazing with Eli and Nyx. She was professional, reliable, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. Communication was great throughout the visits, and she kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pets felt comfortable and well cared for in her hands. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and care she gave them. I would definitely trust Lydia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”

“Angela took amazing care of our bunnies while we were on holidays for two weeks. She always kept their space tidy and even went above and beyond to buy them some fresh veggies. We really appreciated the exceptional care she gave our bunnies - highly recommend her services!! Thank you so much Angela!!”

“Jayme was fantastic! She was professional, reliable, and truly caring with both my cat and dog. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Joseph and Maria took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She is an indoor-outdoor cat who doesn’t do well with big changes to her routine so having twice-daily drop ins to feed her and let her in and out was ideal. Joseph sent us lovely updates and pictures and took care of her with the love and affection she is used to. I would trust Joseph and Maria with any pet and will definitely be calling on them again! This was my first time using Rover and am really happy with the experience.”


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: 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: I am extremely attentive with an eye for detail – Anything your pet wants or needs, I am quick to respond! Elderly cats are my specialty, but I am ready and willing to care for all shapes and sizes. Je suis bilingue - si vous preferez la communication en Français, je peux te accomoder! - I work remotely, so I can keep an eye on your pet at any time of the day. Whether it’s mealtime or playtime, I can be available for whatever your animal needs. I am an expert in cuddles, but if your pet is more hands-off, I’m also very good at keeping my distance for their comfort. If emergencies happen, I’m always prepared to accommodate any situation.
“This was the first time we left our elderly cat with a non-family member. Our cat does not take to strangers, but was very relaxed with Jamie. Jamie cared for our cat for 4 days, including ensuring our cat received medications on time. Jamie was reliable and clearly made an effort to spend time and make friends on each visit. She sent regular photo updates, which we truly appreciated. On our return home, we could see that our cat was content and relaxed. We will not hesitate to ask Jamie to care for our cat whenever we are away.”

About: I have had a dog for 12 years who was reactive. It gave me a lot of experience looking after animals who need a little more attention and care. I have also looked after dogs and cats for close family and friends. I currently work part time and have a lot of free time during the week. This would be great for individuals who need pet care while they are at work. I live in an apartment which is pet friendly and I ensure to never leave the animals alone or in a situation that could cause them to become hurt or severely injured.
“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always aspired to work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, and cats with every personality, from aloof and sassy to cuddly and energetic. My love for animals has always been a constant in my life and continues to grow every day. I currently have 4 cats of my own and have extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple animals at once. I’ve fostered three litters of stray kittens, as well as a new mama cat who had just given birth and was found in a shed. Each of my fosters ended up becoming “failed fosters,” which is how my little cat family grew. I’m also the trusted friend for pet sitting and animal advice, often the first call when someone needs help with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I work full time, but I am fully committed to providing attentive and reliable care for your pets. I am available for visits and care in the evenings after work on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends. On weekdays, I can ensure consistent evening check-ins, feeding, playtime, litter care, walks if needed, and any other routine your pet is used to. On weekends, I have open and flexible availability and can dedicate more time for extended visits, extra attention, and maintaining your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away, with dependable care built around their needs. I focus on maintaining a calm, safe, and familiar environment so pets can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their routine is preserved. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter care, medication administration, walks, and any specific preferences each pet is used to. I am very attentive to behaviour and comfort levels, and I adjust my approach based on each animal’s personality, whether they are shy, independent, or highly social. I also prioritize trust and communication, providing updates and making sure pet parents feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in their own environment so their routine feels as normal as possible.

Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!

I’m so grateful for the care Buddy received while I was away. He can be a little shy at times, but it was clear he felt comfortable and even greeted his sitter every day. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it was such a relief to come home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. Highly recommend!

Trudy is a great cat sitter- She was incredibly caring and attentive, with excellent communication throughout. She sent lots of photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease. Our cats clearly loved her — she spent quality time with them, played with them, and made sure they were well looked after. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.

Hannah has come to our house to feed our two cats/clean the litter for us twice now and each experience has been wonderful. Our normally shy cats are comfortable around her and we have loved seeing the pictures of them while we are away. Would recommend Hannah and will definitely use her again in the future!
