Victoria took care of my 5 pocket pets for a week! She handed the rodents and reptiles amazingly, and was extremely willing to learn new kinds of care to compensate my irregular pets. Victoria even came twice in one day (no extra charge!) after something unexpected came up! All 5 animals look happy and healthy upon my arrival home, and I will definitely be booking with Victoria again in the future :) Thanks Victoria!

Having Jessica look after Hallie while my husband and I were away gave us some much-needed peace of mind. Jessica sent pictures every day and she was very understanding when we had to suddenly cut our trip short. I will definitely book with Jessica again in the future!

Stephanie was great at taking care of our senior cat! She was highly communicative and followed all care instructions perfectly. She was great at administering insulin injections for our diabetic cat! I would highly recommend her to others!

We just got our sweet Regina a little over a week ago, and my husband and I had plans to go camping this past weekend. I went on Rover to see if anyone came up, and I found Sydney. I messaged her, asking if she would be interested in setting up a time to meet her, and we did. She came over, Regina seemed to like her, and we decided to give it a go. For the first time of leaving our cat behind, I was very happy with how Sydney handled everything. Checked in each time she came over to check on her, sent pictures, made sure she ate, cleaned the litter box, followed all the instructions I had left, everything went perfect. Sydney is really sweet, nice, and her love of animals is apparent. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter and will rebook her myself in the future :)

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and needs, including senior and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, oral medications, and injectable medications. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions because I know how important consistency can be, especially for pets who are anxious, elderly, or require medication. When your pet is with me, I want you to be able to relax knowing they’re being genuinely cared for—not simply checked on. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates, give them lots of attention, and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up beside me for some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 My schedule is quite flexible, which gives me plenty of opportunities to fit pet care into my day. I’m available on many weekends as well as throughout the week between classes, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. I know pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule, so I take agreed-upon feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, medications, and other routines seriously. If your pet needs a little extra time, patience, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide it. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else. Communication is really important to me, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, crates, household rules, behavioural quirks, and routines. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I know that being cared for by a new person can be overwhelming for some animals, so I’m happy to let shy or nervous pets approach me at their own pace. I’ll never force interaction, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to your pet’s personality. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual with your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin (Kait(y)) some may know me from when I was on a hobby farm in Kawartha lakes, I have however moved now but am still in Cameron and on 1.5 acres. From my past farm life, I am experienced with all different animals. I have a large fenced in backyard with room to roam and explore. I have 2 dogs of my own, My older dog’s name is Bentley and he's an australian shepherd who is 8 years old and is fixed and up to date on all shots etc. Hes my bestfriend and is well natured and good with other dogs. I also have a mini Aussie puppy who’s up to date on all her shots as well, she is deaf and vision impaired, she started off as a foster and then my partner and I decided to keep her. I volunteer at the humane society in Lindsay in my spare time and bring dogs home from there for sleepovers etc and day trips/walks to let them get out and gain some experience in a home setting when I can. My dog Bentley has always gotten along with any dogs hes come across even from the humane society. I went to school for animal care years ago as well as the Paramedic program. I have experience with all different animals from being on a farm however dogs have and will always be my favourite. Ive had many dogs growing up, I cant remember a time in my life without there being a dog around. I also have taken in lots of puppies and dogs of all ages over the years from mills and fostered them and found them homes. I would keep every dog that I've come across if I could but giving them the best while I can has always been the goal. I will treat your dog like one of my own and we will have all the good times together with lots of pictures and or videos taken and shared with you 🙂. Im currently available most days and times unless already booked up. I have all the time right now for playtime, walks, hang outs and sleepovers with your dog(s). I have a fenced in backyard. I like to go into Fenelon falls for dog walks by the water and if the dogs like to swim we can do that to! Or I live on a Quiet road where we can go for walks as well. I have 2 awesome dogs who will be there to keep your dog company and be less anxious on their stay. I can work on crate training if needed and I also have a Furbo dog camera if I do have to run out ever the camera will be on to be able to monitor if ever needed. I will send lots of pictures and videos throughout the dogs stay, I can also try and work on leash skills or anything that you would like to have done with your dog etc. I have lots of experience with dogs of all types and training levels as my boyfriend is a dog trainer in the kawartha lakes.

About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.

Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to look after your house plants and provide light house cleaning, gardening, grass and snow removal.

About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

About: Experience started from growing up with dogs and has evolved to over a decade of experience caring for friends and families’ pets while raising my own 3 rescue dogs. Previous customers have expressed gratitude for my communication skills while caring for their pet, which allows you to know your pet is safe and well (happy to provide text and picture updates!) I have full-time availability. I am able to offer flexible hours and to drive to location as I have my own vehicle which can safely transport pets. I prioritize safety with any pets’ care. By first collecting background information from the owner, you can be sure key information has been understood before I take responsibility for your pet. I am happy to accommodate any requests to ensure pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

Kylie was wonderful to work with—quick to respond, flexible, and genuinely attentive. I chose her because of her experience with rabbits; our neighbour usually cares for our cats when we’re away, but bunnies need a different kind of attention. When I learned that Kylie also has experience with animals who struggle with social or trust issues, I asked her to spend some extra time with one of our cats as well. We recently lost a family member, and their cat is still adjusting and not blending smoothly with ours. Kylie communicated beautifully throughout, and it was such a relief to return home to healthy, happy bunnies and a spotless habitat.
