“Elizabeth was great! She took good care of our cat and some other tasks around the apartment while we were away—this gave us great piece of mind. Would definitely book with her again!”


About: Hey there! In the past few years I have worked in vet clinics as well as pet boarding facilities which has taught me the skills to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy! I have experience training young dogs for shows, and I absolutely love working one on one with them! I am also currently training a puppy for service work. Personally, I have had both young and senior dogs and cats. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets! My schedule changes weekly, but if you get in touch with me I’d be happy to share my availability for the next couple weeks. I’d be more than happy to drop in and give your pets the attention they need! I’m energetic and love to play fetch or practice tricks with your dog.

“Nova is an amazing. Super prompt communication and pictures I can see my boy is in good hands. Love that she follows with pictures and precise feedback..just so wonderful”


About: We’re an active, pet-loving family with two gentle, caring 9-year-olds who dream of having a dog of their own. While our jobs as teachers keep us busy during the week, we’re home and fully available on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer—ready to give your dog all the love, attention, and playtime they deserve! We have a fully fenced yard, back onto a beautiful walking trail, and absolutely love being outside. Your pet will be part of the family—snuggles, playtime, walks, and lots of affection included. We’re experienced pet sitters and would treat your furry friend like our own. If you’re heading out of town or just need a loving temporary home for your pup, we’d love to help! We have Weekend availability as well as holidays. Being teachers we will also have full summer availability and lots of time to offer walks and exercise! Our home is a safe, welcoming space with a fully fenced yard and direct access to a walking trail—perfect for regular outdoor play and exercise. Our twins are gentle, loving, and have grown up learning how to respect animals. They understand the importance of giving pets space when needed and are always supervised during interactions. Their calm and caring nature helps make pets feel at ease and part of the pack. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or peaceful downtime, your pet will receive attentive, loving care in a calm and structured environment.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments over the past 3 years, including high-energy breeds and senior dogs. I'm experienced in administering medications, reinforcing training, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Friends and neighbors often rely on me for walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I treat every animal like family. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I start and end each day with feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with my two cats. I’m used to organizing my schedule around the needs of animals, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I’m flexible on weekends and evenings and can easily accommodate pet-sitting or drop-in visits into my weekly routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I follow the routines provided by pet parents as closely as possible and always take time to understand each animal’s personality and boundaries. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to notice signs of distress or health concerns early. I ensure that all spaces are secure, clean, and enriched—whether it’s quiet rest areas for cats or safe walking routes for dogs. I treat every home and every pet with the same level of care I give my own.

“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.”


About: I am a member of Arthur Animal Rescue, having experience in cat sitting. I was an owner of 3 different cats for over 30 years. I am available for full time cat boarding or cat sitting at your house, and dog walking. I may take care of other tasks at your house as needed. I currently don't have animals at my house. I can offer cat boarding at my house or at client's home. I am available for the frequent visits at the client's home. In each option I will take care of emptying litter boxes, feeding the cat, cleaning the feeding dishes, changing the water. I am familiar with automatic feeders and pet water fountains. I can do other tasks around the home as needed.

About: I’ve had a huge passion for animal care since I was very young and I’ve taken care of all type of animals from rodents, dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles and amphibians. I will go above and beyond while caring for your pets by helping to keep your home training consistent and ensure they even stay clean by grooming. I am a University student aspiring to become a vet one day so it’ll be great experience for me to care for your pets. I’ve always been the one my family and friends turn to when needing some advice on pet care so I can assure your pet will be in great hands! I’m currently a full-time university student and I do work part-time but I always have lots of gaps in my schedule to still care for your pets. Personally, I treat this as if they were my own pets and so I don’t see too much of challenge in caring for them. I am very flexible and understanding so I can work with anything as long as I’m free. Since I offer in-home boarding, I’ll be sure to keep your pet comfortable and keep your home just the way you left it. I will respect your space and any rules you may have and also keep out of your personal areas such as your bedrooms or office space.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was about 12. Friends and family have relied on me to look after their fur-babies for as long as they need me to. I love animals with all my heart, and love to take care of them. I’m currently a University of Guelph student and I’m available anytime throughout the day. As long as I am given specific times you need me for your fur-babies, I will be there. I provide the best care when I know your pet’s schedule. If you leave instructions, I will follow them. If something doesn’t make sense to me, I will ask. If your pet requires special medication that needs to be taken at a specific time or in a specific way, I will do that. The health and safety of your fur-babies is my top priority, and u can expect me to treat them with the utmost respect.

About: For 15 years, I have worked as a trusted elementary school teacher who cares deeply for my young students. I have also been relied upon for pet-sitting and dog-walking for a number of families for many years. Feeding, playing, exercising, cleaning, caring for all pets' needs. I am currently available for the summer, as my job is seasonal, and begins in the fall. I have complete availability for days and nights! I ensure my own pets are comfortable and well cared for. When I stay in others' homes, I follow pets' routines and meet their needs.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! I have dog groomers and boarders in my family; they must have rubbed off on me! In addition to growing up with cats and dogs, I have independently cared for others' pets. I have experience walking, feeding and providing general care for cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages! I can administer medications (i.e., oral medications, eye drops, topical ointments) to pets, in addition to general grooming. Having previously worked on a regenerative farm, I feel comfortable caring for animals in diverse environments, and can lift over 100lbs. I ensure my quality of care meets owner standards and do not stray from owner instruction! I often have repeat clients. I have a flexible schedule since I currently only work part-time. As a result, I am able to work together to find a time that is accommodating. At this time, I do not live in an area with a fenced-in yard. However, I have access to plenty of green space and trails that allow for regular activity. If an animal is staying at my home, I try to replicate the space (i.e., beds, blankets, toys and bowls) to ensure comfortability and familiarity. Similarly, if I am caring for an animal at the client's home, I will use products that the animal favours. It is important to me that routines are followed (as instructed by the owner) to minimize stress, maintain healthy habits, and promote trust between myself and the animal.

About: I have lots of pet care experience with all kinds of dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs with medical needs, reactive dogs and puppies. I am super outdoorsy and love to hike, run and walk. I have just finished my undergraduate degree in Biology, so I am free for the summer. I will have plenty of time for taking care of your pets and can have a flexible schedule. I have a fenced yard and a cattle dog, Jed, at home. If boarding is needed, our pups would have to meet first to see if they get along. I am happy to care for your pets in your home and will respect all boundaries set out for your home.

About: Grew up on a country property with many cats and dogs, sparking my love for animals; big and small. Although now living in the city, my love for animals hasn't went away and now that I've finished school, I am able to reconnect with parts of my life that were previously put on the back burner like spending time with family and taking care of animals I graduate university recently and now that I am working remotely in the corporate world I feel like I have some time to meet and care for some fur friends. I believe that communication is key from the get go. I want to understand your pets needs and how I can care for them in the best way possible.

“Very grateful and thankful for all the services Sudharsan did for our cat. He went above and beyond in taking care of every need of our cat. He cleaned and kept everything properly gave food and stayed with our cat. Also understood his needs and was with him. Spent time with our cat. Would highly recommend Sudarshan from Rover for all your pet needs. Thanks so much Rover for helping us find Sudharsan”

He is also very patient with his friends' pets and takes care of them with great care.I once left our Shih Tzu with him for two days and the puppy came back in great spirits, jumping around and having a great time, Ranco is very affectionate with small animals and they love to hang out with him.

Dorota G.
“Dorota is my go-to cat sitter for my cat Mochi. She is diligent in caring for Mochi's food, litter and appearance (Mochi is a long-haired Persian so she requires some extra maintenance), as well as her wellbeing, playing with her and making sure she feels comfortable and happy in her environment. Dorota has done both house stays and daily visits for my cat during short and long trips, and I always feel completely at ease leaving my cat in her care. She also takes great photos of Mochi to share during trips, which is so sweet to see! I would highly recommend Dorota as a cat sitter - she has a calm presence, deeply loves and cares for animals, and has owned cats herself for many years.”

Nicole’s communication is excellent, she responds quickly, always sends pictures and highlights of the walk/stay, and is so accommodating to changes with my schedule. You can tell Nicole really cares about animals and their safety. She follows any instructions I provide and remembers all of the little details and nuances with Phoebe’s personality even though she has lots of experience walking other dogs. She is truly such a gem, I am grateful to have found someone so reliable.”

“Amanda is the only person other than my direct family that I would trust with my dog. She is very attentive to his actions and reactions to different aspects of the environment and as he interacts with other dogs. Also, her philosophy of dog training is very much in line with my own. Amanda cares so much for animals, that I know she takes care of my dog like she would her own and that is so important to me. I highly recommend trying her services out so you can see for yourself what a wonderful and talented woman she is!”
