“Hope has been wonderful with Loba! She walks my puppy twice a week and is always reliable, caring, and attentive. Loba is always happy to see her and comes back from walks content and well exercised. It’s clear Hope genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I really appreciate the peace of mind she gives me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.
About: Hi! I’m Leanne — a caring, responsible, and trusted pet sitter offering a live-in pet sitting service. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you’re away! 💕 My service is especially well-suited for pets who: - Experience stress when left alone for extended periods - Need frequent bathroom breaks - Are very social or enjoy constant company - Have special routines or additional care needs ⏰ Your Pet’s Routine Comes First I understand how important consistency is for animals. Whether your pet has specific feeding times, exercise routines, bedtime habits, or medication schedules, I make every effort to follow their routine as closely as possible. Your instructions become my priority, so your pets can feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. 🏡 Caring for Your Home Because I’m on the property for the majority of the time, your home receives an added level of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. ❤️ A Lifetime of Caring for Animals Animals have always been an important part of my life. My wonderful cat, Archie, taught me how to carefully administer medication and, more importantly, how to become highly attuned to an animal’s needs through body language and non-verbal communication. I had a beloved frog named Fern who lived an incredible 24 years as well. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how different every animal can be — and how important it is to understand and respect their individual personalities, needs, and routines. 📸 Communication & Peace of Mind While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can see how your pets are doing. I’m also always available by phone or text if you have any questions or simply want to check in (as many times as you want!) Your pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and that’s exactly what I aim to provide ❤️ I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! - **I’m only able to provide house-sitting services in smoke-free homes. Thank you for understanding! **large dog breeds must be able to walk well on leash - I can handle big dogs but not REACTIVE big dogs I currently work remotely, so have plenty of time to work my schedule around your pets. I am available 7 days week, day and night. I do not currently offer boarding in my home, however safety is my top priority when caring for your animals at your house. I make sure to follow your rules and keep your animals schedule as close to what they are accustomed to.
About: I absolutely love dogs and so does my partner. We would love to welcome your bundle of joy in our home! We live in a very quiet and homey neighborhood with lots of green spaces and ample nature to go for a walk in. They would be joining our pets, one large dog that is incredibly sweet and accommodating, as well as the gentlest cat ever. I would absolutely love to make this stay special for you and your loved pet! Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions and / or request, I would be more than happy to reply as soon as humanly possible. Thank you so much for your trust. :) We are able to play with them in the afternoons and on weekends, and of course provide them with the regular scheduled food, treats, grooming if necessary. We are flexible, depending on the synergy with our pets. We usually allow dogs to be 'out and about' in the home and provide frequent trips in the back yard and walk them once a day. We work from home a lot. Our dogs play in the back yard for as long as they want daily. Usually any visitors end up tired and happy soon enough 🙂 We have a fenced yard for safety. Our two dogs are super friendly and our amazing cat is a darling. They get along with anyone!
About: Hello! I'm probably one of the biggest dog lovers out there! My eyes light up when I see them! I've grown up having family dogs of all sizes from pomeranians to great danes. I've volunteered in dog rescue centers in Thailand, been a babysitter to countless pets around the world and have worked at a doggy daycares in Vancouver. I've been a dog walker, taking up to 7 dogs on hikes. I love learning about dog behaviour and getting better at dog training. I have two dogs of my own, Belle and Ivy. We adopted Belle as a small sick puppy, she's now full of life and the love of my life. We rescued Ivy from a very hard life in Arizona, she's a shy girl but she has come such a long way in our family. Can't wait to meet your furry family members! If i work out of the house, it's only for a few hours at a time. The majority of the time, my husband or I are home. We hate leaving our pups alone for too long. I love walking, so daily walks are always provided, rain or shine. And we make time for cuddles and play time no matter what. Dogs are treated like kings and queens at our house. It's more their house and we just happen to live here to serve them. I know every dog has different needs, and I am always respectful of their boundaries. If they wants cuddles, it's exactly what they'll get. If they prefer to he left alone, that is fine also!
About: I have been taking care of animals every since I was very young. I have always had cats present in my home. I have been walking dogs every since I was 10. It was always the highlight of my day. I love taking care of dogs, and have been pet sitting friends dogs for years now. Very well experienced pet sitter and dog walker. I currently work a hybride full time-job. I have a lot of flexibility and can take them on a walk or care for them at any time of the day. I have a fenced yard, and currently have a very friendly cat living at my home. I love spending time with pets, playing with them or taking them on walks
About: Malheureusement je ne peux pas avoir de chiens à la maison, mais j'aime bien les chiens qui ont besoin de bouger. Les chiens qui aiment les grandes marches et qui aiment jouer ne s'ennuieront pas avec moi et seront probablement épuisés avant moi! À l'adolescence, je m'occupais à l'occassion des chiens de 1-2 voisins lorsqu'ils partaient en vacances. Je travaille de la maison 3 jours par semaine, cela peut donc donner plus de flexibilité lors de ces journées. Autre j'essaie de réserver mes week-ends à la famille, donc habituellement moins de disponibilités ces jours-là. J'ai un chat à la maison, qui ne sort dans ma cour cloturée que sous supervision (il est trop peureux de toute façon pour sortir seul).
About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.
“Rocio is amazing. So prompt, caring, positive attitude and genuinely cares for the health and well-being of her dogs. I can already tell Del really enjoys you and will have a great relationship together! I am so excited for this!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs / cats of my own, and for my family and friends, I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities. From daily walks to energetic playtime, I love helping dogs stay active, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure every dog feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the job—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll to burn off energy. Your dog will get lots of playtime, exercise, and affection with me. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! Originally from the UK, I speak English and classroom level French. My availability is very flexible at the moment and I have lots of free time! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs for family and friends, and I truly enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Walks and playtime are some of my favorite parts of pet care, and I make sure every dog gets plenty of fresh air and fun. I live near plenty parks/ green spaces, perfect for regular dog walks and outdoor play.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.

About: I have 4 years of experience in caring for pets and I truly love every moment with them. I love running, playing and training pets. I would love to get a chance to know your furry friends. I have a couple of free days in my week and would love some company :) I have one cat at home and would love to eventually adopt a dog, unfortunately my partner isn’t able to take a dog out for walks during the days I work my main job. So for now I get my fun out on the days I get to meet your pets ! I am very present and attentive when caring for a pet. I always keep my eyes on them to make sure they don’t get into any trouble.
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life — German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.

Hope is a wonderful, caring dog walker. She has a wealth of experience and immediately made me feel comfortable in trusting her with my dog. Moop always has a good time and comes back tired, and I love seeing the pictures and anecdotes in her report cards. Thanks, Hope!
