“Liz cared for my very shy introvert cat for three days. She understands cats very well. She was right on time to maintain a predictable schedule for Murphy, and by the second day Murphy even let Liz pet her. She made sure Murphy had everything she needed and I would love to have her back.”
“Raylene was so amazing and so thorough during all of her visits. Checking in on fur babies and watering our plants! Also taking adorable photos of our babies! My husband and I would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable caregiver while they are away! We will be rebooking! :)”
“Shelley was great! Before leaving for our week long vacation, we were very stressed figuring out who would be able to look after our five cats. Finally we found Shelley, to do drop-in visits everyday while we were away. After meeting Shelley, she instantly put our minds at ease, as we knew we were in good hands. She sent us daily check-ins, along with photos - and we didn’t have to stress about our cats at all while we were away. We knew they were being loved and cared for.”
“Deborah checked in on our two cats for us while we were out of town. She was absolutely lovely - we really felt like our cats were well cared for, would highly recommend! She is quick to respond, kind and caring.”
“Kristen was great looking after my cat. My cat can be shy with new people but they became buddies! I appreciated always getting a Rover card so I knew when my cat was being looked in on. We’ll be booking again.”
“Alexis was great! She looked after our special needs kitties so well. She was punctual, responsive and very responsible. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our kitties again in the future!”
“It’s hard when you need to go away and leave your best friend. Knowing however that there is someone as caring as Lisa goes a long way to easing the guilt😀. Everything was perfect. Blanche was so well looked after. Everything Lisa and I discussed about her care was done to a T! Excellent daily communication. I would have her back any time!”
About: I am currently in an animal biology program at the university of Guelph. I am studying in an undergraduate program to apply to veterinary school. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for the last 3 summers as a veterinary assistant. I earned a certificate of completion for a course regarding animal CPR and choking. I won 2nd and 1st place at the College Royal Dog Show. I am well versed in furry companions and would love to meet yours!! I would love to fit walks or pet care in between my university classes during weekdays, or at any point over the weekends. I will try my best to be flexible! I have my own fluffy cat named Mouse (he is a very large maine coone). He is spoiled beyond belief as will your pets be. I believe in positive reinforcement and many, many treats!
“Melissa was great with our cat Cinnamon. She visited Cinnamon while we were on vacation and gave Cinnamon lots of love and attention. Melissa brushed her, cleaned her litter box and gave her daily medicine in her food. Melissa also gave us lots of updates on Cinnamon throughout our trip and made sure that she was well cared for the whole time.”
About: I go beyond just feeding and walking. I’m genuinely passionate about giving each pet personalized care and love. Whether it’s gentle walks for senior dogs, high energy playtime for active pups, or patience and consistency with puppy training, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands on experience with pets of all ages, and I’m great at spotting changes in behaviour that might signal something’s off. I treat every pet like they’re my own with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of belly rubs! I’m currently a student at the University of Guelph pursuing a degree in biomedical science. My classes are all online at the moment so I am able to schedule my classes around my personal life. I’m able to provide pet services any time. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles just like you would. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I also keep things tidy and stay in touch with regular updates and photos. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll get a cozy, stress-free environment with lots of attention, supervised play, and a calm space to relax. I always tailor my care based on your pet’s age, needs, and personality.
“Taylor took great care of our 3 cats and our home while we were away. Everything was spotless when we returned home and it was clear our crew was well taken care of and happy while we were gone. From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She sent thoughtful updates and photos and completely made us feel at ease. We recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Hayden, an animal lover with over 10 years of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, doggy daycare, and professional dog training. I recently worked alongside a dog trainer for the last year and a half, where I gained experience handling dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes/temperaments and love getting outside for walks, hikes, and adventures! I also understand how important it is for dogs to have structure, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime and cuddles, or simply a reliable person to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and comfortable! I’m a student with a flexible schedule and plenty of spare time to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I love spending time with animals and would be excited to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality, routine, and needs. I make sure to follow their usual feeding, walking, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection while also respecting each pet’s boundaries and comfort level. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats. I’ve been around them my whole life and want to dedicate my future to helping animals as well. I have a few years of dog sitting experience in high school for families and friends. Currently unemployed so all my free time can be dedicated to taking care of your animals! Daily walks are a must and might as well have some dogs coming along! I follow instructions to the letter, I take precautions in new environments as well. All for the safety and comfort of your pets and myself.
“Katelyn was a wonderful pet sitter while we were gone. Our cat has health issues and she was very confident to take care of all of his needs. She spent time interacting with him and getting to know him. We also loved and appreciated all of the photos sent so we knew he was well cared for.”
“Odin had such a good time that he didnt come to door to see me when I got home after 1.5 hours with Shannon. This is unheard of from my puppy. I was both happy and a little offended lol. Shannon has a good energy and dogs feel it.”
About: I've been obsessed with animals, especially dogs since I can remember. My first job was walking my neighbours dog at 12 and we finally got a family dog when I was 15. I had a sweet kitty for years, I fostered dogs for a couple years from all sorts of situations, and I currently have a 12 year old lab mix who I raised from a puppy. I have puppy & senior experience so everything from training to medication administering :) I work from home so I'm available to stay with a pet all day and go for potty breaks and long lunch time walks. I would be open to dog walking if it's in the neighbourhood! I have a fenced in yard, a park behind my house and am open to crating as well. Dog friendly home as I have a senior gal so they are allowed anywhere in the house & on the furniture.
About: As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
“Teya did a great job of looking after my three cats. She was thoughtful and communicated often. I would definitely hire her again, and I highly recommend her! I was confident that my cats were well taken care of by Teya.”
“Lauren took such good care of my two cats, one of which requires insulin injections twice daily. When our trip was extended due to the Air Canada strike, Lauren was so accommodating. She’s friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable about their unique medical needs. I’ll be using Lauren’s services exclusively whenever I need a cat sitter!”

We used Jess for the first time this weekend and she was amazing. One of our cats needed meds and gave her the slip and Jess communicated professionally and stayed longer until she could get our teeny houdini her meds. She is awesome and we will definitely use her again!
Taylor is wonderful! This was her first time looking after our menagerie (a cat with a heart condition, a bearded dragon and a crested gecko) and we were so impressed. She was thorough, detail oriented and communicated very well! We would definitely hire her again!
Katelyn was a wonderful pet sitter while we were gone. Our cat has health issues and she was very confident to take care of all of his needs. She spent time interacting with him and getting to know him. We also loved and appreciated all of the photos sent so we knew he was well cared for.
Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!
Melissa was a great cat sitting for our 13 year kitty "Luna". Her communication was prompt and consistent during booking and our time away. Her reports on each visit were detailed and showed how patient she was being despite having having a stressed cat that required daily medication and creative bribery :) Highly recommend.
