About: Grown up taking care of my two Cavalier's for 13 years. Have experience with senior dogs and as they say "No home decor is complete without dog hair!" Back at Queen's University for school. I am available for early morning walks or runs from 8 am - 3pm and boarding most weekday nights. I have time to take the dog outside as much as possible and provide LOTS of water. I am located near a park for many furry adventures and near the pier for nice boardwalk mornings together! I have a clean and safe house with lots of room to lounge inside.

About: I have loved and worked with animals for over 10 years and am passionate about helping animals find safe, loving homes. As a foster parent with the Kingston Humane Society, I have helped care for and place many cats into their forever homes. I have experience working with cats with specific medical and behavioural needs, including overweight cats, senior cats, and cats recovering from dental procedures and surgeries. I have also worked with local humane societies to help raise funds for spay and neuter programs and have worked to support adoption efforts within the community! I have all a cat would need at my place! All you need to do is bring your kitty. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, or quiet alone time depending on their needs and personality. I always try to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With cats especially, I usually let them come to me first instead of forcing interaction since every cat is different. If they want attention and cuddles, I’m happy to give them lots of love, but if they’d rather have their own space, that’s totally okay too. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible and make sure they have a calm, clean, and low-stress environment. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a lot of shy, senior, and special-needs cats, so I’ve learned how important patience and trust are when caring for animals.

“Would definitely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She sent a ton of pictures and updates on how the visits were going which we really appreciated. Both of our cats got lots of food, water, and time to play which is exactly what we were hoping for.”

About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts for the last 20 years. It started with family friends and eventually my name spread. I have cared for animals of all sizes, from pocket dogs to giant breeds. I have cared for puppies and kittens, and senior animals, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past and built some experience working with animals that required medication in both needle and pill form. My greatest asset is my ability to match your schedule as closely as possible, helping ensure your animal experiences minimal disruption and stays as relaxed as possible. I own a content marketing business and I am able to work flexible hours. This means I can meet pet care needs whenever and wherever you need. My work schedule can work around you and your pet. When I look after animals in client homes, I leave the smallest foot print possible. My focus is on your pet. I will respect the rules and boundaries you have set for them and keep your home as you left it. Other than a happy pet, there will be no other signs that I was there.

About: I will take care of your pet as if it's mine, and I'm doing it just because i love then but can't have mine at this time. I have had my own cats and dog and I know them well. Thank you for trusting me, i will do my best to make you and your pet happy. I am a graduate student and my schedule is completely flexible during the summer. I just need to know 1 day in advance so i can plan my day. I am living in a relatively big apartment with an unfenced yard. Pets allowed everywhere and on bed. I don't have other pets, and I will be here until October.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals and truly care about making them feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, attention, and affection are. I’ve also had the pleasure of repeatedly caring for many pets belonging to my friends, neighbours, and family. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc. I have a high energy Australian Shepherd myself so I understand the importance of a long walk. I treat every pet as my own with lots of patience, playtime, and care. I send lots of photo updates and love to learn their little quirks, personalities and routines! I work part time and choose my own hours, which means I can be available on both weekends and weekdays! This allows me to be super flexible in terms of when you’d need pet care the most! I care for pets based on their individual needs and routines. I have experience walking two dogs at the same time, but I typically prefer one at a time. I’ve worked with reactive dogs. I am able to crate dogs if needed. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure pets are comfortable, exercised, fed, and given lots of attention while you’re away.

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

As a former Kennel Attendant at Kingston Humane Society, I’m experienced with daily feeding, watering, exercise, enrichment, and closely monitoring animal health and behavior.

I look forward to meeting you! I am currently in between jobs, and have an extreme love and passion for animal care and welfare! I have lots of free time to spend caring for lots of furry, scaled or feathered friends !

Peter was wonderful! He was able to accommodate us at the last minute when our work schedules suddenly changed, and he was so kind and attentive with our dog. She has some health issues and Peter even made time for a drop-in visit beforehand to meet her and learn about her needs. We really appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and care. We would definitely recommend Peter!

I’m so unbelievably grateful for Courtney as she took such great care of my boys! I very suddenly had a family member pass away and needed to leave town for the services without much notice. Despite the short notice, Courtney was able to accommodate my request and a couple of last minute changes to the schedule. Her communication throughout the entire experience was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to have someone else taking care of my two dogs. Those nerves quickly went away as soon as my boys met her, they absolutely loved her! Both of my dogs were so excited to see her and seemed to have a wonderful time with her, I was incredibly thankful that I didn’t feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was away. Courtney was very knowledgeable about dogs and, despite just meeting my two, she seemed to understand their behaviors and quirks instantly. She asked great questions about them and their care routine and listened to everything I had to say about them. Courtney was very timely when coming to care for my dogs and took the cutest pictures! The pictures showed me that my dogs were having a wonderful time with her. They were both fed exactly as instructed and they always had fresh water. I will 100% be booking with Courtney in the future!

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Kingston 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!

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 sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
