Andrea did a great job of looking after my elderly golden doodle. We took a day trip and we had Andrea look after our dog at lunch and dinner time. We look forward to using Andrea again for our next day trip.

I reached out to Victoria less than 48h before I needed a dog walker and she was absolutely fantastic! She was was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and the day of the walk she offered a detailed update on how it went. After a not great experience on Rover a few months ago with a different dog walker, I can say that Victoria has renewed my faith in walkers/sitters on this platform. When I need someone to walk my dog in the future, Victoria will be the person I turn to first.

About: I'll treat your dog like it's my own. I love being around dogs. I have 15+ years caring for animals of all ages. I'm farm raised with lots of animals, always had a dog or two growing up and still continue to have my own. I'm confident with any age dog from puppies to seniors. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer and volunteer with the humane society with their dogs. I enjoy working with dogs to get them to really enjoy the walk. I do work with pullers and jumpers and try to get your dog to a level where you'll also be able to enjoy your walks. I aim to put a dent in your dog's exercise needs to give you that calm, fulfilled pup when you return. Your dog will be welcomed as a pack member with me where we will work to have mutual respect between myself and your dog(s). I take a firm, but fair, no nonsense approach to working with dogs. I live on a farm near town and do have open fields that your dog may run and play (if you and I both feel comfortable with your dog being off leash). I do also have a large fenced in area I use as well and a shop area that I often use for my training space. My girlfriend and I are both on Rover and often work together with different dogs including our own. Meet and Greets are always welcome to ensure I am the best fit for your dog. Please reach out if you have any questions.

About: I've lived with animals most of my life. From feeding, bathing, and walking to play time and adventure, I love it all! Most of my experience is with dogs and lizards, however I have experience with most animals. I have completed placements in an animal hospital and pet store giving me lots of knowledge and experience. I know how important routines are for animals and my goal is to ensure I keep things as normal as possible so they don't even know you're gone. I cant wait to spend time with your animals! I am currently not working so have open availability to care for your little ones all day. I will happily follow whatever routine you have in place for your pets! I will follow your routines and rules for your pets, after all you know them best. I will give them lots of love, attention, and care to meet all their needs.

About: I have had dogs, and cats, in my life, my entire life and I wouldn't want it any other way! Recently, I lost my beloved dog and now, dedicate myself to helping other fur babies of friends, family and Rover clients. After a long career in education, I am happily retired and available full-time to care for your fur babies.I have many years of experience working with Labrador Retrievers, mixed breeds, Golden Retrievers and Doodles. My fenced yard offers a great space for your pet to chase balls, sun bathe, and play in the puppy pool. I typically care for 1 pet at a time to offer the attention and care your fur baby deserves. I know what it takes to care for a senior dog, help him make his way through his golden years, and also, what a young, energetic pup needs in order to be happy...I have lived with both and it has been fun meeting the needs of two very different dogs. I believe in patience, rewards, but also in having solid expectations for our canine friends. Of course, exercise and playtime, along with cuddles and pets make for a happy dog. I am a retired teacher/administrator, so when I am booked, rest assured that my priority is taking good care of your pets, I have a fenced in backyard in the North Ward and there are plenty of toys at my house, along with great neighbourhood walks to be had and a cute park around the corner for plenty of sniffing! My backyard is fenced so your dog will enjoy plenty of outside playtime in good weather. My home is dog friendly, complete with dog beds, blankets and plenty of toys. We will also go on walks if approved by you and a lovely park, with shade, is one block away from my house.

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

About: I have grown up with cats (every kind! Haha) all my life. I have two lovely boys (cats), who are 3 years old and about 4 months apart in age. They have become a bonded pair and brothers. I am not only a cat lover but also a big-time dog lover. Neighbours, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of fur babies since I was a child. I treat every animal like their my own and a part of my family. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to devote to playing and caring for your fur babies. I am available for boarding on the weekends and after 3 pm on the weekdays. Throughout the week, I am available to do morning, afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins. I have a fenced-in backyard and live close to open fields and trails to give your dogs a lot of outdoor time and play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I used to volunteer/work at a local animals shelter. Mostly took care of cats, but I also walked dogs and took care of small creatures. I baby-sat dogs for other people in the past. Yes, I stayed over night. I walk my neighbours dog time to time. He is a big dog and is such a love bug. I used to co-op for Ruff Cuts, so I have experience with cats nail treaming (extra charge: $10 per cat) and dog bathing (extra charge: $15 per dog)(must provide your own shampoo and conditioner). I can only brush both cat/dogs. It's only 1 thing, but I know how to train a dog if he/she pulls on a leash. I will ask you for any special introductions that you will have for your furry child. Getting to know/taking care of your baby(ies) is my priority (aside from my kitties). Yes, I have 3 cats. My special boys. ♡ Monday to Thursday (10 am to 10 pm). Fridays (10 am to 4pm). I do not do weekends due to my low availability. Please note, I feed my cats at 5pm everyday. That's their only scheduled meal. They have small portions of dry food on the side. I cannot have pets at my home due to my 3 cats. I'm more than willing to take pet-sit in the comfort of their own home. I can bring my own poopy bags if need to. Walks, kitty litter cleaning, feeding, play times, grooming, bathing, and making sure that they are as comfortable as possible. ♡

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always had at least two dogs! Old, young, big and small. From playtime to proper care your dog will receive the specialized attention they deserve! I am currently studying and working from home so I can make my schedule fit yours! Early mornings, late nights or multiple times throughout the day. This is a responsibility I approach with the utmost dedication and professionalism. I truly understand the importance of creating a safe and loving environment for your furry friends! I make sure they get their proper exercise, proper feeding and pay close attention to any specific dietary or medical requirements they may need. Communication is also something I believe is extremely important - sending you regular photos and messages to give you a peace of mind!
