“We booked Linda thru Rover for Willows stay while we attended Christmas Eve and Day festivities with family. Linda was great. She went the extra mile, sending us pictures through out the stay, taking her for walks in the snow, which she loved, making her toast and eggs for breakfast and making our pet a part of her Christmas. We highly recommend having Linda pet sit your pet. We will definitely have her again. 5 stars!”
“Thank you very much Jen. Jen was friendly, engaged and took excellent care of Charlotte. This was our dog's first time with Jen, and I would highly recommend her and trust her with our dog again.”
“Olenka and Joseph were great! They sent pictures and update of Wayne’s stay. He was a well looked after pup. Our next out of town trip I will be reaching out to them!”
“Kathryn has been awesome. For our first experience with Rover ,Kathryn has made it such a wonderful experience. She loved our pup and treated him like he was her own. We so appreciate how comfortable she made us feel while we were away. Highly recommend her.”
About: I’m an experienced, caring dog lover who has raised dogs from puppies through their senior years. I live in a calm, quiet home with my 9-year-old child, who is gentle, kind, and absolutely loves animals. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs—and I can administer medication as needed. Your pet will enjoy a calm, loving, and safe environment with lots of movement, enrichment, and (of course) belly rubs. We also have a friendly 2-year-old male Standard Poodle who loves having dog friends. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do not accept reactive or intact dogs. Your dog will be treated like family here ❤️ I work for a tech company fully remote, we do walks during the day and in the evening with lots of outdoor playtime in the backyard. I have a fenced yard which is safe and secure and your dog will have full access to the house but I can crate if nesseaary. Your furry family member will need to get along with my poodle so a pre visit is required.
About: I have been working with fostering, walking pets and help them find homes since 2022, I know the care they need and I would love to take care of them for you, I know it’s hard on who to trust when your pet needs care and I can assure you I would treat them with as much love as I would do with my own pet❤️. I’ve been taking care of some of the sweetest fur babies for a year here on Rover and wouldn’t have it any other way, the additional experience that I’ve gained in this past year I wouldn’t change it for anything! Excited to meet and work together with your best friend!🐾 I’m currently studying part-time so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your dog! If you need help on the weekends I can help you or if you need boarding on the weekdays I’m also available! I try to make them feel comfortable with me in their own space, I would play with them a lot so when you get home from work they will be more calm (trust me I know they have a lot of energy). But if your pet is relaxed we can also relax, if you want we can go on walks, play games that are stimulating for them, follow the diet you’re giving him. Whatever is best for your fur baby.
About: Hello! My name is Emilie and I am a 5th year animal biology student at the University of Guelph. My passion for animals started 16 years ago when my own fluffy boy, a Whoodle named Shelby, came into my life. For the past 16 years he has developed my love for animals and my passion. This passion has driven me towards pursuing a career in animal care. I have worked at a wildlife rehabilitation centre with numerous kinds of wildlife from raccoons to foxes. Over my time in Guelph I have also worked at a doggy daycare and for the past 1.5 years as an animal care attendant at an animal shelter. Through these experiences I have gotten to work with cats, small animals, birds and dogs of all breeds, personalities and sizes. From Cockapoos to Rottweilers, I have had lovely experiences with numerous furry friends! I’m currently in between jobs and have lots of time to care for your furry friends! Depending on your needs and your animals needs, I can rework my schedule for you! I am currently offering house sitting and dog walking services! With an animal care background, I can administer numerous medications, provide daily enrichment, prepare meals and clean up after your animal.
“Katie was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was spoiled with lots of cuddles, play time and walks. I really appreciated the updates and photos she provided. I recommend Katie 100% and will definitely be reaching out the next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
About: I 've been a dog owner for most of my life, growing up with family pets and later caring for dogs of my own. Spending time on a farm has also given me hands-on experience with a variety of animals, including dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Before our current dog, we had a rescue for about 8 years, so I understand the patience and care needed for dogs with anxiety or fearfulness. Creating a calm, safe, and reassuring environment is something I take seriously. I genuinely love helping other pet owners feel confident that their dogs are well cared for when they can't be home - whether that means providing a comfortable place to stay or getting them out for a fun, energizing walk during the day. I understand how stressful it can be to leave pets at home during the work day or when you go on vacation. I enjoy staying active and love walking or running with dogs, so your pup can get as much exercise and attention as they need. Our current dog is very friendly, used to having other dogs around, and would be thrilled to have a playmate. I work from home 3 out of 5 days a week but my schedule is flexible. Our dog is accustomed to being fed morning and night and is happy to be walked any time of the day or to roam our property. My yard is not fenced but we live on acreage so our dog tends to roam freely. For dogs who may not do well roaming we can use a leash or a rope to keep them safe. Happy to cater to pets needs to create a safe and happy environment in our home or theirs.
“Once again Shelby was amazing. With our special needs pup it is so reassuring to know that Bandit was cared with love and attention. To our surprise she remembered careful details about Bandit and this only re-enforced our comfort level knowing Bandit was in such a caring home. And Shelby's dog Willow is adorable and the perfect companion for furry visitors!”
“Valerie and her family are excellent trusted caretaker for our precious little Luna. She takes really good care of her and keeps her on the same schedule. Thank you so much and I highly recommend her!”
“We were nervous about leaving Lily with someone for the first time, but Jennifer, Jason and family were wonderful. Wish I could give them 10 stars! They sent updates and responded super quickly when we messaged them. They made sure Lily was exercised and stayed healthy & happy, with extra cuddles! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby and for being so accommodating with our crazy drop off/pick up times.”
Guelph pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.
My dogs adapted to Jennifer and her family extremely well. With regular walks, playtime, and lots of TLC the dogs were very happy including our one that has separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again unless you are worried the dogs won’t want to leave Jennifer’s house like I was.
John has looked after our dog Bear several times. Bear is a little anxious, but he is always happy to stay with John and I know he is well cared for. I also appreciate John's timely communication and flexibility. I know we will be leaving Bear with him again in the future!
Carly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Toby! From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was caring, reliable, and treated him like family. We loved getting updates and could tell Toby was happy, relaxed, and well looked after the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Carly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!! Toby had such a blast and is currently catching up on some sleep! Thank you, Carly!!
Kathryn and her daughters were amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with her and she made us feel so comfortable with regular photos and updates. It looked like Murphy was in great care, had a blast and loved spending time with them and their dog! We will definitely be asking Kathryn to watch Murphy again!
Jyll and Cannon had the best time together. I was so appreciative of how genuinely caring she was and always keeping in touch giving updates. Jyll has a lot of experience with dogs and it is very evident with how confident and nurturing she is. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Olenka & Joseph; Thank you so much for taking such good care of Dahlia! She had an excellent time staying at your place and enjoyed every minute, especially play-time! The daily photos were appreciated as we could see how much fun she was having. We will recommend your dog-sitting services to our family and friends.
I am extremely happy that we chose Arlene and Kevin to watch Roman for the weekend. They were both very attentive and loving to his needs and Roman took to them immediately. When picking him up, he was relaxed and you could tell he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Arlene and Kevin and hopefully they will be available for us next time. Thank you!
Shelley is the best pet sitter ever - I have a senior (18 year old dog) that requires a lot of care, and Shelley does a wonderful job every time. He gets lots of supervised play time in the backyard, lots of love, is well fed, and is always super clean when I pick him up. It eases a lot of stress knowing that my dog is so well taken care of when I am away, especially given his age!
