About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since a very young age. I have family pups, I’ve volunteered with the SPCA, I’ve fostered dogs and have experience with rescues and I’ve looked after many dogs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. From 85lb Rotties, to Irish Wolfhounds that come up to your waist, to the tiniest Maltipoo! I would love to make your pup feel comfortable, safe and loved! I work from home 3-4 days a week. I also have a dog friendly office and a team that adores canine visitors, so your pup could accompany me to work as well! I would love to bring your pup on long walks, hikes and adventures to ensure they get lots of exercise. I am very gentle and caring with any animal. I adore dogs and would spend all day every day with them if I could! Any dogs in my care would get out for 3-4 walks a day (depending on your pup’s exercise needs). I'm happy to take your pup to a nearby park for exercise and socializing. I've also cared for dogs who aren’t as keen on socializing, so I can take them for walks and avoid other dogs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am both gentle but firm and read situations very well to know how to keep your pup safe and comfortable at all times. Your dog will gets lots of love, affection and attention. I love to encourage play as well as taking it easy and napping!
“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!”
“Katelyn was fantastic with our beagle and took great care of her while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me peace of mind throughout the visit. I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I grew up with both a dog and cat, I have extensive experience caring for both. I have experience administering medication and post surgical care. I can cater to the needs of every unique pet! I can take care of your pets on the weekend and throughout the week! I am studying environmental science at the University of Guelph. I have a part-time job but I am quite flexible. I have lots of experience with pets and I will give your pets the cuddles (or space!) that they need. I recognize that the needs of every pet is different and I can be a playful playmate or the quiet cuddle buddy.
“Came last minute to help us out and did an amazing job. Cannot recommend enough for drop-in visits. There was a ton of rain and we had a minor leak, Izabella went above and beyond and cleaned it up and let me know immediately. We so appreciated her help.”
“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!”

I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, providing enrichment, and making sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

“Wow. Shelley is wonderful. She’s only been in 4 times and I can already see how much happier our dog is. She treats him so well and it shows when we arrive home from work. I couldn’t ask for more from someone watching our boy. Thank you Shelley. I’ll be hanging onto you!”
“Raylene took amazing care of our kitty this week. She was so good with him and he liked her right away. He was happy on our return home and ready to play. Don't hesitate to have Raylene care for your pets. We will absolutely use her again.”
“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.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Guelph
Izabella is a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Our pets immediately felt comfortable with her and even our most timid cat warmed up to her. It’s clear she cares deeply about animals. She was very responsive and accessible. We had a great experience with her overall.
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.
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.
