Ryan was awesome! He made sure to communicate clearly and quickly when scheduling our overnight sitting. He was calm and gentle with the dogs and sent lots of cute photos so we knew they were behaving well and having fun. Ryan even did some cleaning which was such a nice surprise! We would 100% have Ryan back again!

Brittany took care of our 2 rescue dogs for a week and she was incredible. She was patient with them as they take a little time to get to know and trust people. She provided daily updates and stuck to their routine making us feel at ease! We would highly recommend her services. (Even though we want to keep her available for us...lol)

About: I'm a calm, steady pet caregiver with over 15 years of experience walking dogs, caring for cats, and supporting families who want their pets treated with the same attention and respect they get at home. I serve Hamilton and Stoney Creek. I'm insured, Pet CPR certified, and fully committed to safe, thoughtful, individualized care. Pet care is my full-time work, so your dog or cat is never an afterthought in a busy schedule. My days are built around walks, drop ins, and house sits, which means I can offer flexible timing, consistent routines, and the kind of steady presence that helps pets feel secure. I believe every pet has their own personality, pace, and needs - and great care starts with curiosity. I take time to understand what makes your dog or cat feel comfortable, confident, and happy. Whether that means slow sniff-walks, structured exercise, quiet companionship, or careful post-surgery routines, I tailor every visit to the animal in front of me. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including strong pullers and reactive pups. I've safely walked a 110 lb dog who loved to lunge at squirrels, and I'm especially familiar with dachshunds recovering from IVDD surgery. My own dogs - a senior miniature dachshunds and a young terrier mix, have taught me a lot about patience, body language, and adapting care as pets age or health. Safety is always at the center of what I do. Pets are never mixed with animals outside your household, and I use AirTags on every walk for added peace of mind. Every walk and visit comes with a photo and a detailed update, and for multi-day house sits, you'll receive daily check-ins so you always know how things are going. My goal is simple - for you to feel completely confident that your pet is cared for exactly the way you want them cared for. Whether you're a busy professional needing reliable midday walks or a pet parent looking for someone who understands careful handling, I'm here to help your pets feel safe, understood, and loved like family.

Abigail was so wonderful house sitting for my two dogs. My flight left early in the morning and she arrived early which was much appreciated so I knew she and the boys were settled before I departed. I felt totally at ease being away knowing they were in good care. In every photo update she shared they looked so happy and comfortable. I would definitely book again with her!

Kadin was incredible! My girls are my world and they've been through their fair share of trauma before I got them so I'm always super worried when I have to leave them behind. But Kadin delivered and more! I've never seen my girls in such high spirits upon return and if/when I have to travel again - Kadin will be the first person I call!

Des and Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs. They were so attentive to all the details of their care, and made sure to send me lots of updates. I came home to 2 very content, happy pups. Not only did they take good care of the dogs, but also of my home and I came back to it spotless. I would definitely have Des and Michelle back to care for Cooper and Koda again!

About: I have had dogs for over 10 years including puppies and more senior dogs. I’m a personal trainer so I can also help get your dog running if that’s something you’re interested in doing for them! I currently teach fitness most mornings and then free in the afternoons so I’m looking to expand and add dog walking into services I can offer I can tailor walks and drop ins to what you’re looking for! I have a lot of patience and know it can take a little longer with some dogs to build that trust and confidence.

Rachael sent updates on both the dogs and our house (we had a water leak that she noticed right away and she took all the appropriate steps to mitigate any further water damage until we got home).

My dog Artie had a wonderful time with Millie and her family. I was nervous as he's an older dog who hasn't been apart from me for any extended periods. He was having such a great time, I felt guilty coming back. He will stay with them again, I.am sure.

Linda provided excellent care for our dog, Jasper. Jasper is a rescue who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Linda has been very patient, giving Jasper the time and space to build trust and comfort. We also appreciate that Linda was professional and proactive with communication throughout, from confirming booking details to keeping us informed with pictures of Jasper throughout her stay. She also took very good care of the house. We already have another housesitting stay booked for Linda and Jasper.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Danielle. She was absolutely amazing with Chichi and Fritz from start to finish. You can tell right away how much she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Chichi can be a little extra with her “big dog energy” and Fritz has his own personality too, but Danielle handled both of them perfectly. She kept us updated, gave them so much love and attention, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for when we got back. She went above and beyond in every way and we honestly trust her completely with our babies. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, patient, and amazing with dogs, Danielle is the one. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. 🐾

I know this was a longer stay and it gives me such peace of mind knowing the pups and my home are in good hands with you. And thanks for the tidy house I came home to — after all the travelling it was really nice.

We had the pleasure of having Melina as our dog and house sitter a second year in a row, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Melina did a fantastic job, providing us with true peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident knowing our dogs were in great hands, and Melina’s attentive care made all the difference. During our absence, there was an unexpected malfunction with our keypad combination lock system. Melina handled this situation with remarkable composure and professionalism, promptly reaching out to us and our emergency contacts to resolve the issue. Her calm approach and resourcefulness reassured us even further. We would absolutely book with Melina again without hesitation. For anyone considering a dog sitter through Rover, we strongly encourage you to reach out to Melina. She has made it so much easier for us to take a vacation, knowing our pets and home are well cared for. Thanks, Melina, for making our time away worry-free!
