About: Hi, thanks for stopping by my profile ☺️ I’m Sindokht, 32 years old. I work remotely and have a deep love for animals I grew up around all kinds of pets since childhood, and as an adult we had a family dog, and I’ve had a cat of my own. On other pet sitting apps, I’ve cared for animals for extended stays, from 10 days to a full month, and I have 15+ five star reviews. I’ve been lucky to meet wonderful families along the way. My priority is making sure you feel completely at ease while you’re traveling or away for work.

I’ll leave your home just as clean as I found it honestly, probably cleaner! Languages: English, persian, French Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible.

Days include walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all on your pet’s usual schedule. Extra care for seniors and special needs pets, with photo/video updates so you know they’re happy.☺️
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.
About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and a genuine love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, from playful and energetic to calm and reserved. I pay close attention to behaviour, routines, and cues, making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I approach every dog with patience, responsibility, and care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I work part-time with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, accommodating last-minute requests, or spending extra time with your pet, I’m able to prioritize their care and ensure they receive reliable, attentive support. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to behaviour and surroundings, making sure pets are safe at all times, whether that means secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, or keeping a calm and clean environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience where pets feel cared for and owners feel reassured.
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.
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have my own cat at home. I've also walked and looked after dogs for people I know, and I'm calm and comfortable around most breeds. Your pet will get patient, attentive, and genuinely affectionate care while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule! I can check-in on any pets in the morning before 8:30am and any time after after 12pm. Feel free to reach out, I can accommodate most timings. I'm also available on the weekends and holidays. When I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your space with respect and keep everything the way you left it. I'll stick closely to your pet's normal routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks at their usual times. I'll also check in with updates and photos so you know they're doing well.
About: I have cares for pets of all ages, personalities, and unique needs. Whether that be feeding, walking, or playtime I strive to make pets feel safe and secure while their families are gone. I am currently a university student with morning and afternoon availability during the week, but a few early evenings could be worked out too. As for weekends I am completely free! Your pets safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn and adapt to each pets routine and needs so they feel at ease. Communication is also important, so I’ll keep you updated if any concerns arise.
About: Hi! I’m Nicolette, and dogs have been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. I’ve owned three dogs of my own, and before joining Rover, I regularly dog sat for friends and family. For over six months now, I’ve also been dog sitting and walking through Rover, which has given me the opportunity to care for all different types of dogs — from young, energetic pups to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and have experience with dogs who pull on the leash, nervous or shy dogs, and dogs who need medication. One of the most rewarding parts for me is seeing a nervous dog slowly become comfortable and eventually feel completely at home with me. I’m a caring, calm, and reliable person, and I always make sure every dog’s individual needs are met. I love getting outside for walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy having cuddle time with a dog who wants to relax! I also have a huge, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of room to safely run, play, and enjoy time outside. I started doing this because I genuinely love animals, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and their unique personality. My goal is always to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I’m currently just finishing school for the summer so I’ll have availability to take care of your pet! I may be working online but will be home most of the time. My home has a huge fenced in back yard that is completely safe for your dog. When walking dogs I will make sure to always keep the dog on leash.
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds my whole life, and have a very deep resonance with cats especially. I’ve had one in every house I’ve ever lived. As this was natural to me, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many cats and homes over the years, sometimes for extended stays. So far, there isn’t a cat I haven’t been able to befriend or at least find harmonious ground. I’m very confident in my ability to take care of these wonderful pets. Though I’m specialized in taking care of cats, my care has been extended towards all animals, and so I have a naturally affinity to caring for any pet. This includes both birds and dogs. I’ve always been able to get along with dogs just as much as cats. In the past few years I’ve had even more opportunity to care for them in my home when their owner leaves. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, and attending to any other instructions. I’ve also assisted in caring for a dog and a home in the past year. This experience has been for both seasoned dogs and puppies, and I love the unique personalities of each. I’m confident in working with small to medium type dogs, though I love the large ones too! I would also love to continue gaining experience with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently student online working towards a diploma, and I’ve left my schedule very flexible to be available to care for the pets of others! Any time of the week will do, when not taking care of other bookings, and I can make myself available. Currently living with a beautiful black cat named cricket, who loves to stop for attention in the hallways and get chin scratches in the Kitchen. As for the home of others, I do my best to bring my utmost respect to the home and attention to instructions, giving proper play time, affection, special care to walking for the unique needs of each dog, and feeding schedules amongst other roles. I take pride into maintaining the safety and standard of the home when in care or it.
About: We are your dogs perfect match. Run, walk, or cuddle we can do whatever they like. We have both grown up with family dogs and frequently care for many different breeds. We both have experience with nervous dogs and are aware of the precautions that need to be taken with them. Brandon works from home 2-3 days a week and would be able to watch your dog for the entirety of those days. I work very close to home and would be able to come home at lunch the days Brandon is not at home for a short walk/play session. We are both active and would be able to walk your pet as much as you needed! Our yard is only partially fenced; however, we would take your dog out on a long leash and remain outside with them. We will take them as on as many or little walks as they require, and they can roam the house when alone or we can crate them! We currently do not have any other pets in the home.
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 returning to my full time teaching job in September, which fills my days from 8 to 4, but I am fully available for overnight pet and house-sitting, as well as fully available on weekends! 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've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.
“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!”
“Marlo was great with my old dog Dallas who wasn’t feeling well. She has a very calming presence, exactly what was needed (for both of us). She was also amazing as we navigated some technical issues with Rover and was very reasonable and communicative from start to finish. As this was a last minute request I was very happy Marlo was quick to respond and able to help out. Very glad to have found Marlo.”
“Jessica is wonderful! Her calm, gentle demeanour won Blue over at our meet and greet. We came home to a very happy pup! We’d love to have Jessica spend time with Blue again and would highly recommend her services!”

I highly recommend this dog walker. They are extremely efficient, trustworthy, and genuinely caring with every dog they look after. It's clear they have a real love for animals and always go the extra mile to ensure dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have complete confidence leaving my dog in their care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker.
John was absolutely phenomenal as a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. He took the time to understand Leo’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which gave me immediate peace of mind. He made consistent visits and put in extra effort to make sure Leo felt comfortable, cared for, and never lonely. Throughout the stay, John provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which really reassured me that Leo was in great hands. When I returned, Leo was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had formed a strong bond with him. It was obvious that John truly cares and treats the dogs he watches like his own. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!
What an incredible experience with Izabella! From the start I was confident my pups (and other animals) would love her and they did! She went over and above all expectations and the dogs enjoyed every walk/drop in visit. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you!

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Guelph choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
