Dog Sitting Guelph

“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.”

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: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

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 loved and cared for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, who have taught me even more about patience, trust, and unconditional love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, providing enrichment, and making sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My promise is simple: every dog I care for will be treated like family, every single visit. Hi, I’m Tracy! Dogs have always been one of the greatest joys in my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As the proud owner of two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, I understand that every dog is unique, with their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make every walk a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves energetic adventures, leisurely neighbourhood strolls, or simply spending time with someone who truly enjoys their company, I’ll tailor each visit to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog with the same patience, kindness, and respect that I give my own. When your dog is in my care, you can expect dependable service, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, reinforce your dog’s normal routine, ensure they have fresh water after their walk, and send you photo updates and a detailed Rover Card so you always know how their visit went. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing exceptional care from day one and earning your trust through reliability, professionalism, and genuine compassion. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities through rescue. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those needing extra patience or medical attention. I also trained puppies for Autism Dog Services, helping build strong foundations in obedience and confidence, and worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, giving me valuable knowledge of animal health, behavior, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home, so your animals needs will be met all day. I have a flexible schedule so even if you are crate training or socializing, I’m able to come and go as I please. My home is thoughtfully set up to meet the needs of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As an active foster, I have a variety of tools and equipment to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable, including a fenced yard, crates (when appropriate), x-pens, and separate areas throughout the home. If I have a foster dog during your pet’s stay, I can easily provide each dog with their own dedicated space to ensure an stress-free environment. I prioritize one-on-one attention, individualized care, positive reinforcement training, and safe socialization based on each dog’s comfort level and needs.

“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!”

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: 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.

“Jessylin is very flexible and reliable”

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 happy to do overnights on weekdays if the dog can be alone during the day. Weekends are available for full day in-home care. I am happy to follow any instructions needed in the home to keep your pooch happy and healthy. Long walks are no problem, and I can ensure any specific instructions will be followed.

About: I've always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I have a 6-year-old cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after them when you're away. Although I haven't owned a dog myself, I've cared for my neighbours' dogs and puppies through drop-in visits and walks. I've helped with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they got lots of attention while their owners were out. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I'm happy to follow whatever works best for them. I'll always treat your pet with the same care and patience I'd want for my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they're doing well.

I'll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I'll follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, or anything else that's important to your pet's routine. I'll also send updates and pictures during visits so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

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.
