House Sitting Ingersoll

“Heather, thank you so much for your wonderful 5 star care of Sophie. You did such an amazing job with her that she was waiting at the door 30 minutes after you left looking for her new best friend. You are a natural and we could not be happier. Great job and highly recommended. John and Barb ( and Sophie. LOL)”

About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.

“I can't thank you enough for watching our little pet family. I was a very nervous first time Rover pet parent but you put my mind at ease right from the meet and greet. I appreciated the updates throughout the stay and can't recommend you enough. Thank you Yoda!”

“I'm so glad Sonya was available to watch my dog. I’m sure, he couldn’t be in better hands. If I ever need again someone to watch him, I’ll definitely contact her without doubt. So happy with her services.”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and currently have pets of my own, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after pets for family and friends, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. As a recent Psychology graduate who works part-time as a suicide crisis responder, I bring a calm, compassionate, and responsible approach to every interaction. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to accommodate regular or occasional bookings whenever possible and thrive on punctuality, communicative and being dependable.always aim to be punctual, communicative, and dependable. As I work from home and always surrounded by my own animals, I want to extend my love and attention to yours, whenever and wherever. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take instructions serious and follow carefully and to exact detail, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I’m attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed, and treat every home with respect. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind!

About: I’m a cat mom of two and have over 3 years of daily hands-on experience caring for cats. I treat every cat with patience, kindness, and care. Since I work from home, I’m available most of the day for feeding, playtime, and attention. I only accept one client’s booking at a time, so your cat(s) can enjoy a calm, low-stress environment. My home is clean, secure, and set up with cats’ safety and comfort in mind. Doors and windows are always closed, and your cat will have a quiet space.

“Brandon was fantastic looking after our dogs and our home. He was super responsive, sent lots of photos and regular updates, and we always felt confident the dogs were happy and well cared for. He also left the house spotless when we got back, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and look forward to having him watch our dogs again!!”

About: I have a 4 year old dog and have helped around my house for all 4 years. I love taking my dog for walks and playing with him in our backyard. I am available almost any day and any time to help out and anytime. I will be there when you and your fury friends need me. I have a fenced back yard and have a loving, playful dog that would get along great with yours. We know how to have a great time 🐶❤️

About: I own a 3year old poodle dog. I know how to make them behave and understand the basics. I play with pets and can feed them. I do not have any full time job or work to do right now. As I pet my poodle dog I have keen interest in other dogs as I can utilize my free time playing and spending time with them. My pet does have breakfast and then I take her on a walk and make sure she behaves outside gently with other people and I take her to leash free dog park so she has her enjoyable time.

“Katelyn was amazing with my pup! It was his first time with a dog sitter and was nervous, she was very patient and kind with him, she knew what to do and if she had any questions she was on the ball with communication and updates. I’m so grateful for her and making this process easier for both myself and my pup!”

“Alex was wonderful to work with - very professional, friendly, kept me updated throughout her stay, and took great care of my pups. I’ve already booked my next bookings with Alex.”

Eva H.

“Our 2 goldens absolutely loved spending their weekend at home with Lisa. She is a true dog lover in every sense, and such a pleasure to coordinate with. She is incredibly attentive and quick to communicate, which I so appreciated. We will absolutely be using Lisa again in the future and our pups can't wait! XO”

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

About: Previously worked for pet smart taking care of a variety of pets. Owner of dogs, cats, birds . Backyard is fenced , with a park 5 minutes away walking distance, with swimming and dog park close by. I currently work full time 8 to 4 Monday to Friday about 7 minutes away from my home , My home is equipped with a dog door for small dogs to let themselves out , for larger dogs I will do potty breaks at lunch and we do 45 minute walks after work . In December 2025 I recently rescued two beautiful long‑haired dapple dachshund brothers, Oscar and Tommy, and they’ve completely filled my home with joy again. When I first started Rover, I didn’t have any dogs of my own, but spending time with so many wonderful dogs reminded me just how much I missed the laughter, companionship, and everyday magic of having dogs in my life. That’s what inspired me to open my heart and rescue these two boys. They’re both fixed, gentle, very shy with people, but they get along with other dogs and love having furry friends around. As someone who previously owned two dachshund brothers, caring for dogs feels natural, meaningful, and truly fun for me and I’m excited to share that same love and energy with every pup I welcome into my home.

About: ⸻ Hi there! I’m Jenn — a huge animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for pets. I share my home with two Samoyed boys, Gomez and Tundra. Tundra is actually a Canadian Champion and also a Therapy Dog with St. John Ambulance. I’d absolutely love to welcome your pets into our lives! I’m home most of the time and pretty flexible with my schedule, so your fur babies will get tons of attention, love, and playtime. My big fenced backyard gives them plenty of room to run and explore, and I love going out to play with them too! I’ve raised a litter of six Samoyed puppies with my daughter, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ll make sure your pets are fed just the way you request, and I’ll send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family here — safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet them and become part of their story! 🐾 Everything in my day kind of revolves around my pets. From morning snuggles to evening walks, they’re part of the rhythm of my life. It’s not a chore — it’s something I love doing. “I care for every pet as if they were part of my family. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I keep their routine consistent, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away.

“Emma provided house sitting for my dog for a night, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She stopped by ahead of time even though it was a pretty last minute booking to meet my dog and make sure it was a good fit, and allow my dog to familiarize with her. My dog took to her immediately, which isn’t the most common as my dog can be a little standoffish with people the first time. During that time Emma was lovely to chat with, and my dog just wanted to play with her the entire time. Over the evening she watched her, Emma provided photos and videos of how things were going, and updates on behaviour, feedings, and potty breaks. Even went back to turn some lights on for me after I failed to mention that request earlier. Emma also left my home just as she found it, which was very kind. Would absolutely recommend her for your animal care needs.”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. From senior pups who love a slow stroll and a good nap to energetic dogs who are always ready for their next adventure, I really enjoy getting to know each animal and their unique personality. I’ve helped with everything from overnight stays and daily walks to quick drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I also have a dog of my own, Scout, who is one of the most loving and social dogs you’ll ever meet! He makes friends with just about everyone, and together we live a pretty active lifestyle filled with walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. We even have backyard chickens, so our love for animals definitely extends beyond just cats and dogs! Having Scout has made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I know every animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I always do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs someone to keep up with their endless energy or just a friendly face to keep them company, I’d love to help! Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I love including my own dog into my daily routine and ensure that he gets lots of play and stimulation. I work from home part of the week so have ability to play in the backyard at lunch or let dogs outside as frequently as needed. I prioritize being outside, even on rainy days so there’s no fear that a doggo would miss out on a walk! I have a fenced yard and it’s big enough to run around or play fetch in. We have sectioned off a few areas in our house so that multiple dogs have places to take breaks separately if need be. I always want to ensure every dog that I take care of feels fulfilled and happy!

“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”
