“Finn did a great job taking care of our picky cat, Lewis while we were away. He does not come around much but she was always able to find him to send us photos and she left him some treats in his favourite places. We will definitely book Finn again!”
“Shannon is THE BEST. Our family can't recommend her expert care highly enough. We've been return clients for over a year now and when we can't be with the babies, there's no one we could trust more!”
“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“I booked Olivia for a drop in visit to check on my cat Finnick while I was out of town for the evening, and she was great! She sent me an update with photos, gave him some love and playtime, and even scooped the litter box, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and it was a huge relief knowing he was being looked after as I’m always a little anxious to leave my cat alone for a long period of time. Olivia put my mind at ease. I’d definitely book her again!”
“Aparna helped us out when our other sitter cancelled last minute she was responsive and very helpful. Aparna did a drop in with our pups and made sure they got what they needed while we were out. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Hugo was excellent. He quickly agreed to meet with us and we immediately felt completely at ease with having him as a caregiver for our dog and cat. He was able to do a sane day drop in and sent photos that showed how good he is with the pets. Looking forward to having him come back again soon!”
“Alex was a fantastic sitter! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. She was very professional, friendly and provided great updates and communication while we were away. She was very patient with our two cats and made sure they were well cared for. Thank you!!”
“Thank you so much to Michelle for checking in with my cat! It gave me peace of mind knowing that things were going smoothly while I was out of town. My cat is not a big fan of strangers, but I could tell right away that she was comfortable around Michelle.”
“As always Sarah took excellent care of our boys while we were away for a wedding weekend. Returned home and they were looking very good and relaxed which when others watch them is not always the case! Highly recommend Sarah.”
About: I have taken care of many pets since I’m a child, so I’m very experienced and love to stay with them. I would love to provide the same care to your pet. I’m home full time, so I can walk dogs accordingly to your schedule, and feed pets based on their daily routine. I can keep them like home. I’m serious about keeping them safe, so I’ll watch them full time every day, as I work from home so I’m available to care for them all time.
“Another wonderful visit from Daniela after my cat had just had surgery. She was very careful and ensured he received his pain meds on time as I had to go out of town for a night shortly after. She’s absolutely wonderful, I’m so happy I came across her profile last summer. She’s my go to for my little senior fur babies whenever they need a check in, or any time my pup needs a walk! Thanks again Daniela for a wonderful experience - my fur babies adore you!”
“Sara was wonderful to work with and comforted us knowing we are leaving our family in great capable hands. Addie is a reactive rescue dog, and the fact that she also has one, we saw during our meet and greet that Sara recognized the signs of Addie being uncomfortable and let her have her space. Previous dog sitter we looked at had no idea of the body signs and hackles. Sara got it immediately giving us additional comfort that Addie was in great hands. She was professional with the updates, and messages and kept us apprised of anything going on. 100% will be working with Sara in the future!”
“Lizzy took such wonderful care of my bunny, Bean, that I think he was disappointed to see that I was back from my trip.🤣 I have booked with Lizzy for 6 days later this month and know that Bean will be well taken care of and loved.”
“Victoria was a great sitter for our cat! She was attentive and communicative, and despite terrible weather made sure that Pablo was well taken care of. We will definitely consider her in the future.”
About: I have had animals of all varieties my whole life. I've always been the primary care taker for my animals growing up, from birds, to lizards to dogs and more! I worked in the pet industry for several years and truly enjoy working with animals. I offer 1-on-1 walks and drop-in visits, especially for those times you’re stuck at work all day! I have experience with reactive, anxious, and high energy dogs and can ensure I provide them a safe walking experience to fit their needs. I have had cared for senior dogs and cats, as well as those with daily medications and special diets. If there are any requests for special accommodations just shoot me a message and we can chat more about how I can meet your pet care goals! I'm currently not working as I freshly graduated nursing school! Taking the summer off to study for my exam and looking to spend that time caring for clients and potentially continuing long-term if it’s a good fit! I currently only have one cat in the home who is friendly with dogs and other cats as she grew up around both. I have a fenced in yard and two story home with lots of space. If an animal has any special feeding needs I am able to feed them in separate spaces as needed.
“Followed my instructions exactly. Went of her way to clean up garbage that I accidentally left out. She also brought in a package for me :))!! Everything was great!!”
About: NOTE: Times I am available are listed under "Availability" (left side of screen on computer + in the middle of this section on phone) I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience pet sitting for others, so I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace, while also being able to keep up with energetic puppies who need structure, play, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly to anything your pet might need. I’m also very mindful of routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just maintaining the environment your pet is used to. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for the entire time. ********************* **Schedule updated weekly** Available ANYTIME on: Tuesday (9th) - Thursday (11th), Sunday (14th) Available anytime BEFORE 4:00PM on: Monday (8th), Friday (12th), Saturday (13th) (As Rover is not showing the times I am available, I will update this section of my profile every week.) ********************* When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful of your pet’s comfort and behavior, and I always make sure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I also respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Piper is great with my 2 rescue dogs who can be very fearful with new people. She is very patient and has won them over quickly with her calm presence. I would highly recommend Piper!!”
“Megan is an Outstanding Pet Sitter! I can't say enough good things about Megan! she took amazing care of my dog, Lucy, while I was away. From the very beginning, I could tell Lucy was in loving and capable hands. She got plenty of walks, playtime, and was absolutely spoiled with treats (in the best way!). Megan kept me updated with photos, videos and little notes, which really put my mind at ease. Lucy looked so happy and relaxed every time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book Megan again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”

We keep coming back to Faryn for a reason! She's looked after our cats several times now and is always fantastic. The updates and photos she sends are a real highlight, you can tell she genuinely loves the animals in her care. We always come home to happy, relaxed cats. Couldn't recommend her more! :)
Hugo was excellent. He quickly agreed to meet with us and we immediately felt completely at ease with having him as a caregiver for our dog and cat. He was able to do a sane day drop in and sent photos that showed how good he is with the pets. Looking forward to having him come back again soon!
Sandra is an amazing and attentive cat-favourite! She looks after my 2, particularly energetic and anxious, cats (who love her) while I’m away and gives me such peace of mind. My cats are nearly identical, but only one gets medication, and with Sandra I never have to worry about them being given to the wrong one.
Joy was incredible! Very observant and relayed any notes in the daily reports and always had my girls' best interests at heart. Joy also handled unexpected hiccups (a furball and a temp control alarm going off) with grace and initiative. An absolute delight of a sitter, I couldn't trust my cats with anyone better.
Going on vacation honestly isn’t my favourite thing in the world particularly because of all the alone time it creates for my cat. However, the daily check-ins by Jennifer are the next best thing to me being home. I feel very relieved every time I get notified about one of Jennifer’s check-ins, and the photos she sends are priceless—it doesn’t take Jennifer long to figure out a cat’s favourite places and things. I feel very fortunate to have someone who works as an RVT adding care for my cat to her busy day.
Victoria has been extraordinary in taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for an extended period of time. We really appreciate her commitment and attention to detail. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating when an emergency situation came up, and we are so grateful she was there to help. We will definitely book with her again!
