“Christina was reliable, communicative, and always on time for her daily visits. She took the time to understand all of our cats’ routines and care instructions, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, she engaged with the cats, played with them, and made sure they were well cared for. We appreciated the updates and clear communication throughout. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter.”
“Dokyung is an incredibly conscientious cat sitter who loves and looked after Stirling with great joy and care! I look forward to having her look after Stirling again in future. ☺️”
“Susan has cat-sat my cat Rosie on multiple occasions. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Rosie is well cared for and her needs met. Rosie, who is shy around strangers, has become friendly with Susan due to Susan's considerate and careful approach to gaining Rosie's trust. Susan also keeps me well informed of what is happening with Rosie while I'm away and sends a lot of pictures, which I really appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Rosie, or other cats, in Susan's care!”
“Ryan goes above and beyond! He was great with my special needs cats and took amazing care of my apartment. He also helped me out with a ten day house sitting last minute, booking two days before I left. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
“Excellent communication prior to our visit which made me feel at ease with going away and having a stranger in my home caring for my babies. She even sent me a picture of my one cat who rarely comes out when we have anyone over so I’m impressed she made her feel safe to come out. I will absolutely book Jocelyn again next time I’m going away!”
About: I've provided care for dogs of all ages (newborn to palliative senior), training and energy levels, and breeds (Chihuahuas to Great Danes & Mastiffs) through fostering, boarding and day care/walks. While typically busy on weekdays, I have plenty of free time on the weekends to care for your pet(s). I can usually be available with little notice. I would follow your safety rules and use your preferred tools (leash, harness, etc.) when babysitting/walking. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced yard.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on reliability, attention to detail, and genuinely caring for each pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their habits, energy levels, and comfort needs to make sure they feel safe and stress-free. I’m patient and attentive with both energetic puppies and older pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic routines like house training, consistency, and positive behavior. With senior pets, I’m gentle, observant, and mindful of their pace, comfort, and any special care they may need. I also communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Thanks for taking your time to read my profile - hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time for each pet. I am available on weekends and select weekdays, which allows me to be flexible and consistent with visits, walks, or check-ins. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive proper attention, care, and companionship without feeling rushed. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure each visit is attentive and tailored to their needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service requested. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also monitor their behavior closely to make sure they are comfortable and stress-free. In my clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter cleaning, and any special care needs. I spend quality time with the pet so they feel secure and not alone, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos. My approach is always attentive, reliable, and focused on making pets feel safe and well cared for in any environment.
“Stephanie was fantastic, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She was professional, reliable, and proactive throughout her stay, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, so we always knew how our cat was doing, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. She was also quick to communicate if anything came up and made the whole experience completely stress-free. On top of taking such great care of our cat, Stephanie left our home exceptionally clean - honestly, it looked just as tidy as when we left. We really appreciated the care and respect she showed for both our pet and our home. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and professional pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of walking four wonderful dogs so far. Each experience has taught me something new and strengthened my love for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Owners often tell me that I give off a calm, positive vibe that their dogs respond to right away. I’m committed to bringing that same care, patience, and good energy to your pup, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well taken care of every step of the way. I have a flexible schedule, available from 10 am to 10 pm. This wide availability allows me to accommodate various pet care needs and ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve at any time that suits you. Your pets will be cared for in a safe and secure environment. My home features a fenced backyard and a front yard enclosed with a fence, providing a protected space for pets to enjoy. I live in a house with an attic dedicated to pet care, ensuring a spacious and comfortable area for their attention and needs. The environment is not only enclosed but also spacious, allowing me to give your pets the care they deserve. When pets are not in the attic, they will be in the main floor with a friendly 7-year-old child, ensuring a warm and family-oriented atmosphere.
“Madeline made me feel very calm and ensured that my gracie was being well taken care off. She was able to reduce my anxiety of being away from my cat. She was an amazing sitter and will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, growing up surrounded by them and honing my care skills through professional work at an animal shelter, giving me hands on experience with all types of pets and their unique needs. I’m attentive to every pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe and loved at all times. I’m mostly at home every single day, meaning your pet will get constant supervision, attention, and care. They will have plenty of time for play, snuggles, and potty breaks whenever they need them. My home is a pet friendly space designed for fun and comfort: there’s open space for running and playing, a huge selection of toys to keep pups entertained, and tasty treats for positive reinforcement and special moments. I have a gentle 8 month old kitten who’s LOVES playing with other animals, making the space calm and welcoming. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize a safe, secure environment where they can relax and be themselves.
About: I have been a dedicated animal lover my entire life and have spent several years providing care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it is ensuring a energetic puppy gets enough playtime or providing a gentle, calm environment for a senior pet, I prioritize their physical and emotional well-being above all else. My approach is rooted in patience and observation; I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and communication style. What sets me apart is my meticulous attention to detail—I am highly organized and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am comfortable managing medication routines, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing the extra cuddles and stimulation that pets crave when their owners are away. I am truly passionate about creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for every animal I look after. I maintain a highly structured and reliable daily routine, which allows me to provide consistent care for your pets. As a university student, my schedule is flexible and well-managed, meaning I can easily accommodate multiple visits, long walks, or dedicated playtime throughout the week. I treat pet care as a significant responsibility, and I ensure that my calendar is always updated so that your pet’s needs are met right on time, every time. Safety is my highest priority when caring for pets. Whether in your home or mine, I am vigilant about maintaining a secure environment, ensuring all gates are latched, hazardous items are out of reach, and environmental temperatures are comfortable. I am always happy to follow specific house rules or safety protocols you have established. I believe that open communication is the foundation of trust; I make it a point to provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I am fully committed to respecting your home and, most importantly, ensuring your pet feels happy, safe, and loved under my watch.
About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.
About: Friends and neighbours rely on me to care for their pets. My kids (9 + 6) also love to help provide love and care to the pets in our life. We currently dog sit for my friend’s floofy sheepadoodle in our home multiple times a year. We walk many neighbours dogs, and cat sit when they are away. I have also been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I am self employed and work from home therefore I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family recently adopted our own 5 year old Bernedoodle who is the silliest and most loving guy! My oldest kiddo play rep sports throughout the year which brings us on the road a lot for tournaments and travel games. Our new family member loves to travel in the car with us to outdoor games! If you are comfortable, we can also bring your dog to the ball park to enjoy some fresh air and extra cuddles. We often dog sit for friends at my home and are relied upon for pet sitting for family and friends at their home as well! We would love to meet you! I have a 4 level back split with a fully fenced yard on the central Hamilton mountain. My home is totally pet friendly although I don’t have any furry pets of my own presently (only tropical fish and betas 🙃). I have 2 young energetic kids who love animals and would be over the moon to help care for your fur babes!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and treat every pet like family.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Dennis was great at looking after our cat while we were on vacation. We booked last minute due to some unexpected events. He was communicative with scheduling, provided updates and photos after every visit and was easy to arrange with to get our keys back. We’d use him again in the future for any cat sitting needs.
Alex was great taking care of our two cats. It was a last minute request and she made time for a meet and greet right away then followed instructions, spend quality time with them, and shared detailed summaries so I knew they were in good hands. Our cats were very happy to spend time with Alex!
This was the first time we have left Cocoa Puff with someone we previously did not know so we were a little apprehensive, but Sheila's initial visit with us prior to booking put our mind at ease. Cocoa came out to greet her and hung around. This is not something she ordinarily does so that right there told us we would be hiring Sheila. While we were away Sheila sent us updates and photos of each visit and we were pleasantly surprised that Cocoa was not hiding as she has done in the past. Thank you, Sheila, for taking such good care of our silly fluffy girl. We definitely recommend Sheila.
Zhijun was attentive, dependable, and made sure my kitten had everything she needed during each visit. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that my kitten was getting plenty of attention and care while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Susan has cat-sat my cat Rosie on multiple occasions. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Rosie is well cared for and her needs met. Rosie, who is shy around strangers, has become friendly with Susan due to Susan's considerate and careful approach to gaining Rosie's trust. Susan also keeps me well informed of what is happening with Rosie while I'm away and sends a lot of pictures, which I really appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Rosie, or other cats, in Susan's care!
This was our 4th time working with Sue to take care of our two kitties, and it won't be the last! She is the best petsitter we have ever had. She is extremely caring, amazing with her communications and updates, and even went out of her way to make sure the cats were okay in hot weather. She is incredible!!!
Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us. We go lots of pictures and videos and we’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands!
