“This was our first time using Rover and Susan was fantastic! Right away our cats liked her and she made us comfortable by sending lots of photos. Thanks Susan for taking such good care of the boys”
“Britney was great with our cats! She was quick to communicate and kept us updated during her visits. We loved all the photos she sent and would absolutely trust her again with our babies.”
“Anna is an amazing sitter and treated my dog like her own - I felt completely comfortable and did not worry about my home or my dog whilst in Anna’s care - would definitely recommend her to look after your pets and home”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m especially good with energetic dogs and shy cats, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m currently available at anytime. I even work overnight and have very flexible schedule so if you need me for in the weekdays or in the weekend I’m always available. I live in an apartment however I live close to the park so I will take care of them at home and at the park
“Myriam was a pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for animals was evident from the start, and our dog, cat, goats, and chickens were all exceptionally well cared for during our absence. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean, well-maintained home and happy, relaxed pets. I would confidently recommend Myriam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.”
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.
“Our pups received exceptional care from Kristina. We were updated with photos. A kennel was not an option and we were so happy that this went well. Definitely will be booking with Kristina in the future”
About: I grew up always in the country and always had family cats and dogs, and was involved in pet care and training from a young age. I adopted my cat three years ago and enjoy pet sitting both cats and dogs! I have experience with walking and caring for reactive dogs as well. I am a master’s student and Queen’s and I work part time hours. I have availability everyday depending on time frame for walks and drop-ins! For house sitting, I am available for overnight stays if required. Gentle but firm approach, always on leash unless in a known, enclosed area. Exercise and enrichment are a priority for me, as well as outdoor time for dogs.
About: Hi! My name is Ashleigh, I’m a second-year politics student at Queen’s University. I’m responsible, easy to reach, and I take looking after other people’s pets seriously. I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I’ve also had my own cat for almost two years, and I’ve lived with and helped take care of a kitten as well, so I’m used to the different needs cats have. I’m confident with feeding, walking, medication, and just making sure pets are comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently living in Kingston full-time over the summer, and only occasionally go away to visit family, so I'm typically available whenever you need! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable. For drop-ins or overnight stays, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get enough exercise, and get attention and playtime. For walks, I adjust to the dog’s energy level and make sure they’re safe and getting a good outing. If I’m staying overnight, I keep things calm and consistent so they’re not stressed while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions, and I can send updates if you’d like, so you know everything’s going well.
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.
“Marissa was great. She was on time, attentive and Mya enjoyed her company. She sent pictures and kept me up to date while I was away. The house was kept neat and tidy. I will definitely be re-booking again.”
“Would 100% recommendation Rachel. She took great care of our pets on our weekend away. Our house was exactly as we left it and our pets were happy! Reliable and responsible, I would have no trouble recommending Rachel and would certainly hire her again should the opportunity arise!”
About: House sitting includes 4 short walks or 3 longer ones every day. On my spare time I like to research dog psychology and pet naturopathy. Since childhood I have taken care of a wide variety of animals. My furry friends start the day with a drink and going outside. We walk a few times throughout the day and night. I am here to be mindful of your pet's needs, maintain safety, well-being and comfort. Tell me, what makes your pet feel most comfortable. Please read everything on this page before reaching out. Thank you. I am fully home Sunday Monday Tuesday. I am out of home for six hours Thursday Friday and Saturday. The first thing pets do when I arrive and leave home is potty time and kibbbles. I can provide lower rate on those days since I am not home for those six hour timeframes since it's only fair. On Wednesdays I am available mornings and nights only, because I am away from 11:30am-7:30pm. It's a given, Our pets safety is the #1 priority. If there is anything I should be aware of please let me know, for example does the dog try to take off leash, jump fences or anything that would put them at risk?
“Tessa was a dream to have as our dog and house sitter over the holidays! She looked after our dog Jojo for 12 days while we were away on vacation. She knew we were anxious leaving him but completely set our minds at ease with updates and photos on how he was doing. Definitely found our reliable dog sitter anytime we need in the future and new best friends for Jojo. - Alicia & Elysia”
About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.
About: Hi! I’m a third year Queen’s University student who seriously misses having dogs around while I’m at school! Back home, I have six dogs of my own (yes, six lol! chaos, love, and fur everywhere), and I’ve fostered over 100 dogs throughout my lifetime with many different dog rescues. Basically, my life resume is just… dogs. I love pups of all ages, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a slower stroll and some extra love. A few of my dogs have been through puppy school, where we both learned tricks, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, routines, and good walking manners. I truly believe dogs are better than humans (no offence), and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a long adventure walk, a potty break, or just someone who genuinely loves being around dogs, I’ve got them covered. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and tail wags are always my top priority 🐾 Since I am a university student with a mix of in-person and online classes, that leaves me with lots of consistent free time between classes. My schedule doesn’t change week to week, and I’m free most weekends for walks, drop-ins, and quality pup time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize safety on walks, keep spaces tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pup is in great hands:)

Britney looked after my boxer in my home for 2 nights. She was very responsive, responsible and sent regular updates while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was being looked after so well. My dog is a little shy but Britney managed to warm him up very quickly!
Myriam was a pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for animals was evident from the start, and our dog, cat, goats, and chickens were all exceptionally well cared for during our absence. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean, well-maintained home and happy, relaxed pets. I would confidently recommend Myriam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.
Julia is very kind and caring. My dog had a wonderful time with her and felt comfortable very quickly. She was friendly, and I could see that my dog really enjoyed staying with her. I highly recommend Julia to anyone who is looking for a loving person to take care of their dog.
This was my first experience with Rover. It was a desparate last-minute request for an in-my-home dog sitter. I am pleased at how well it all unfolded. Caitlin was punctual for the short notice meet and greet. I have three small dogs with various quirks and needs. Caitlin listened intently to the confusing narrative I offered about the dog's various needs. She made sense of it all and stated that none of it presented any difficulty for her. Interestingly, all three of my dogs were intruigued by Caitlin and did not offer the sort of resistance that they usually display towards strangers. The next day, Caitlin was again punctual, actually ready to start the assignment before I was ready. The dogs remembered her and I could see that they would be comfortable with her. She handed them all some of their favorite treats and the deal was sealed. I was only gone for one night but it all seemed to go very well. Caitlin sent me a photo of the pups looking very relaxed and she advised me of her departure time. The house looked cleaner than it was when I left which was a pleasant surprise, Dishes were washed and put away. The dogs bowls were all in their respective places with the right foods in them. Caitlin stripped the bedding making my return that much easier. I have nothing but positive feedback for this dog sitting experience. Thank You Caitlin !
Sadie was so perfect! She accommodated a last minute dog sitting request & even fit in a meet and greet beforehand which was much appreciated. I was sent the perfect amount of pics/updates & she made sure my timing back was on track before she left, staying a little bit longer for me. Thanks so much Sadie!
Sam is the best! She’s so incredibly kind and loving. Our dogs absolutely adore the time they get to spend with her. <3 Our one pup even stayed up late with her even though the pup was sooooo tired, just because the pup wanted to stay together. It was so sweet! Sam handles our high needs pup with such grace and compassion. She is incredibly responsible and knowledgeable. We are so lucky to have her!
