House Sitting Guelph

“Christina was great! She took good care of my senior pet, and kept our house in good order while we were aware. She was good with communications, letting me know when she arrived and keeping me updated on my dog. She was also fairly flexible, which was nice as we were travelling in some winter weather.”

“Taylor was so amazing! Calmest we’ve ever felt leaving our dog and cat with a rover, she stopped by before hand to meet the animals- had excellent communication, updates, and pictures throughout and most importantly - we came home to two very happy and well cared for animals ! She also brought our dog a toy that he was THRILLED to show us when we arrived, thank you so so much Taylor !”

“Alexis was great with our boy and our house! She really spoiled him and gave him plenty of walks and outside time. Communication was excellent and we were kept in the loop throughout our vacation. When we got home, the house was exactly how we left it! We were grateful to have Alexis take care of our boy while we were away and we will certainly re-book for our next vacation! She did a wonderful job and we highly recommend her :)”

“Kristen took great care of Farley and was very communicative from the start! She was very easy to get along with and followed our instructions for his care - included administering medication! We would be happy to recommend her to anyone! Thanks Kristen!”

“Ellie was great with our dog Greta. So attentive to her and sent messages and pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend Ellie to house and dog sit. She’s very responsible and reliable.”

“This was our first time trying the house-sitting service with our 2 cats Sesame & Aqua and our dog Ajyo and we were quite nervous, but the moment we found Jess we knew it’d all be ok. Jess is kind, patient, calm, competent, and a great communicator. She would send updates with pictures at your desired frequency (which she pre-communicated), and went above and beyond our need and request to give our furry kids a great time (such as taking our dog Ajyo out for extra fun long walks) We are SO happy that we found Jess, and will definitely be asking her to look after our furry kids for our future trips!”

“Deborah was absolutely amazing to work with! This was the very first time I’ve used in home dog care while traveling, and I could not be happier. Deborah is warm, loving and so kind. I highly recommend her, and will be looking forward to working with Deborah again, as both my dogs adored her!”

Lindsay W.

“Nova was great! Had great communication throughout the visit as well as beforehand and sent lots of photos and updates. Came home to a happy pup! :)”

About: I have 14 years of experience as a devoted pet parent and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and individual needs.

About: Hi! I’m a 35-year-old working professional, marathon runner, and lifelong dog lover. I work remotely four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I grew up with a Labradoodle who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years, and I’ve missed having a dog around ever since! While my condo isn’t quite the right fit for a dog of my own, Rover is the perfect way to spend time with pups and help out fellow dog owners. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some company while you’re away, or overnight care in your home, I’d love to help! I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to host small dogs (20 lbs or less) at my condo. Above all, I’ll treat your pup with lots of love, care, and attention, just as I would my own! 🐶 I work full time remotely and would be available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday during the day for potty breaks and walks. I would also be happy to stay at your house during the week if needed. Available on the weekends too. Please give me 3 days (preferably a weeks notice) so I can plan my schedule accordingly! Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and happy to keep you updated while your pup is in my care.

“Melissa exceeded our expectations! She met with us and the girls in advance of our trip, which put our minds at ease. She also did a great job managing our dogs on walks, which can be a challenge. She left the house just as she found it, which was wonderful to come home to after a busy weekend. And the best part was the lovely, reassuring updates and photos we received from Melissa throughout our time away. We would definitely have Melissa back and feel so good about finally having someone we can trust to look after our girls.”

I also have plenty of experience with medications, pet CPR, dealing with all type disabilities, as well as elderly animals through my work at Toronto Humane Society! When I'm not working as a dog walker I spend my days hiking, exploring with my angel Ripley, a 8 year old coco mutt that I adopted at 5 weeks and who has inspired all of this and me to follow my dream. I am also an experienced driver with a full G license, I own my vehicle and am always willing to do day trips to hiking spots and fun doogie locations!

Although I don't have a yard to walk directly into, I live 5 min walk from multiple grassy areas and beautiful parks where there is plenty of sniffing for your pup! for more active pups I am able to provide one on one active play through bike rides, roller skating, and swimming etc. I am also a short drive, too more advanced hikes and provincial parks ! I frequent lots of different trails with my own pup and will always cater the care to the pup and what they need.

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs, I very much miss having my own. I have been looking after friends’ dogs for several years now, but my friends just don’t travel enough! I am beyond happy to look after dogs in any way possible. I work until 2:30 on weekdays, and am happy to do walks or afternoon checks on dogs. 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 have 5+ years of experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, and non-venomous reptiles. I also have professional animal care experience working in a zoo, handling and caring for animals both large and small with a wide variety of needs. I am a full-time wildlife biology student with a fairly flexible schedule and plenty of time to drop in and care for your pets! I am dedicated to animal wellbeing and have the availability to give your pets the time and attention they need! Every pet is unique and so are their needs! I always like to meet the pet owner ahead of time to get to know the animal and their routine. Making sure that your pets are enriched and health is my top priority! I try and stick as close to their feeding and activity schedule as possible. Regular updates will always be sent to the owners.

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. At this point I offer new clients, your home pet sitting, dog walking, and pet in home visits. I also offer dog boarding in my home for previous clients. 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 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. Currently am available through out weeks and weekends and can be flexible depending on when you need pet care or pet walking or pet visits When walking dogs I will make sure to always keep the dog on leash. When pet sitting at your home I make sure to keep your home safe while your away as well as your pet!

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and I wouldn’t have changed that for one bit. I lived in Bangkok Thailand where I took care of my golden “Hovawart” dog named Kaspar. He was flown over to me as a puppy and I was with him all his life just as he was with me. I learned a lot from this big boy, just as much as he has taught me. (He certainly found out who’s the good boy 😋) I’m a major animal lover and I wish to impart my love for my furry friends to all the animals out there. I’m hoping some day I can adopt another friend in my life. I’m currently a second year student at the university of Guelph with a mediocre level schedule, I’m definitely open to boarding your animals, going on walks and having them over whenever I’ll be home. My schedule works that I’m home everyday from 7pm onwards, I have time every Tuesday and Thursday between 2pm and 5pm and Fridays anytime after 2pm is free. Weekends are perfect for me as I often love to stay in and relax. I have a large house with 4 other roommates on 32 Martin Ave in Guelph. All of my roommates are animal lovers and 3/4 of them currently have or have owned dogs in the past. We would love to have your dog onboard in our space and we wish to share it with them with open arms. I would take special care with your pet and make sure to give them lots of love and pets as they need.

“Laura did a great job with our animals. She provided regular updates and pictures and they seemed very happy in her care. I would definitely use her services again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“Kathleen watched our dog for the evening. She was very kind and our dog appreciated the walk! Would use her again”

About: I’ve helped to take care of my pet dogs all my life. While raising my frenchie, Sulley, from the time he was born (four years ago) I gained a better skillset for puppies. I’ve had pet dogs of all sizes & ages, however I currently have NO DOGS LIVING IN MY OWN APARTMENT. I am a University student in the program of Environmental Science, majoring in Ecology. Last summer, I worked part-time at a Doggy Daycare and I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with the dogs there. I hope to pursue a future career where I can study wildlife, and care for the creatures within our ecosystems. I am currently a full-time student at the University of Guelph, so I have multiple classes per day throughout the week. I am available most of the day on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I have a late night class Wednesday and Thursday night. I do not drive, so I often walk to and from places around town. I like to have the dogs constantly within my reach, and (at the very least) I like to know where they are at all times. Having my eyes on my dogs is something that I tend to do typically out of habit. Water is always filled and kept clean, and feeding is done based on their usual routine. I always watch pets while they’re playing with toys, to make sure they are behaving well and playing safely.

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.
