About: Je vis avec des chiens depuis plus de 5 ans et je partage mon quotidien avec un berger australien. Je suis à l'aise avec les chiots, les bains, la coupe des griffes et l'administration de mÊdicaments oraux, topiques, et aux soins des petits bobos. J'offre un environnement sÊcuritaire adaptÊ à leurs besoins, avec jouets, accessoires et barrières et cage au besoin, en plus d'une cours clôturÊe et d'un super quartier pour se ballader! Je suis à la maison tous les jours, et j'intègre facilement les besoins des nouveaux pensionnaires à ma routine et je passe beaucoup de temps avec eux. On va marcher, s'asseoir dans un parc, et s'il ne fait pas beau on fait des jeux à l'intÊrieur, de l'obÊissance, on apprend des nouveaux tours! Je m'adapte à leurs besoins, et non l'inverse! La sÊcuritÊ et le bien-être des animaux sont toujours ma prioritÊ. Les chats disposent d'une pièce calme qui leur est entièrement rÊservÊe afin de s'acclimater en douceur et d'avoir un espace rassurant aussi longtemps qu'ils en ont besoin. Les rencontres avec mes animaux se font graduellement, sous supervision, et uniquement lorsque le chat est prêt. Pour les chiens, je dispose de barrières de sÊparation, d'une cage au besoin, ainsi que de jouets et d'accessoires afin de m'adapter à diffÊrents tempÊraments et habitudes de vie. Si un animal est plus à l'aise en Êtant sÊparÊ ou a besoin d'un environnement plus encadrÊ, je peux facilement rÊpondre à ce besoin. Lors des visites à domicile, je respecte les habitudes de votre compagnon afin qu'il conserve ses repères. Je peux administrer des mÊdicaments, et offrir toute l'attention nÊcessaire pendant votre absence.

About: Hi! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Dogs: I have had two dogs in my childhood - a boxer and an Italian greyhound. I am comfortable with any size of dog and acclimated with different temperaments and energy levels. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, grooming (brushing teeth, clipping nails, brushing), and bathing dogs. I have also administered chemo pills to a friend’s dog (golden retriever) over the course of two years. Cats: I have had 2 cats over the course of the last 8 years. I treat my animals with the highest form of care: brushing teeth daily, grooming weekly, litter box twice a day, yearly vet check-ups, and 10-15 minutes of active play a day. I have watched over friends’ dogs and cats many times and put in the same level of care every time. My passion for animals has stayed with me for life and I am eager to meet and take care of your pet! I am currently a PhD student and therefore have a lot of time and flexibility for walks and daytime visits. I am an early riser, so I am comfortable coming before 9am. I am comfortable with many forms of care for both cats and dogs. Walking, bathing, grooming (nails, fur, teeth), enrichment, feeding, and cleaning the litter box.

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember, I have experience with taking care of both dogs and cats of all ages. I have two cats of my own and would love to be able to take care of your furry family! I’m currently working part time 3 nights a week which can keep me out of the house between 6-8 hours. I have a lot of free time to take the best care of your pups! I live in an apartment that does not have a yard however there is a large dog park about 5 minutes away by walk. I have two cats that adapt well with other animals, however if your pet does not get along well with cats, I can easily separate them within my apartment!

About: Bon matin ! Je m’appelle Keyliah, je suis une expatriée française venue à Montréal pour faire des études en biologie, et je vous propose mes services de petsitting ! Cela fait déjà 2 ans que je fais du petsitting en France. J’ai gardé des chiens, des chats et un hamster. Je suis tout à fait à l’aise avec le fait de garder plusieurs animaux à la fois (mon record était de 5 chats en simultané !) et j’ai déjà administré des médicaments oraux à des chats et à des NACs (gélules et Ventoline). Comme vous avez pu le deviner, je suis passionnée d’animaux. J’ai moi-même eu un chien (dogue argentin), un hamster russe et 6 rats ! Je suis donc ouverte à toutes les espèces d’animaux. En tant qu’étudiante, j’ai beaucoup de temps libre notamment en après midi et en fin de journée. Je vis avec mon partenaire étudiant aussi qui a des horaires différentes des miennes, il y a donc souvent quelqu’un à mon domicile Si vous avez besoin d’une garde à mon domicile, je vis en appartement au rez-de-chaussée. Il n’y a pas de jardin, mais il y a un superbe parc proche de mon domicile pour les promenades ! En faisant appel à mes services, vous aurez des nouvelles quotidiennes de vos animaux, avec de magnifiques photos prises par mes soins. Si votre animal a un besoin spécifique, tel qu’une administration de médicament oral ou une approche particulière dû à son vécu, etc., je n’hésiterai pas à m’adapter à lui pour qu’il ait une expérience de garde sécuritaire et sereine, pour lui comme pour vous, les propriétaires !

My dog Henry is the most important things in my life. So it goes without saying that it was important for me to have somebody that understood that and would care for him just as much as I did. When we met with Nick, it was clear that he was the perfect person for the job. Henry was quickly drawn to Nick’s calm energy and passion , and after the third day of walks, Henry sat on his feet and did not want to leave 😌 thank you Nick for taking care of Henry like he was your own.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Hampstead. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

<b>Tip:</b> Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hampstead choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
