“Shannon took excellent care of my cats. I can tell how she genuinely enjoyed her work and how much fun my cats had with her! She went above and beyond to keep my place tidy and arranged toys for my cats to play on their own. I’ll definitely rebook in the future”


“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!”


“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Alex has taken care of our two cats a few times now and we continue to be so happy with her care of them, our home and her overall professionalism. She takes great care to ensure our cats are well looked after and always keeps us in the loop.on any schedule changes. Highly recommend hiring Alex for any pet sitting needs!”

“I would like to thank michelle for coming on short notice. As unexpected events happen, I was very fortunate to have Michelle be there for me. She is very reliable and worked very well with Draco being a high energy breed. I can tell he liked her within the first few minutes. Michelle is very friendly and approachable and went above and beyond my requests. I recommend her for your pets too!”

“This was our first time leaving our fur babies and using Rover. We met Sarah before our trip and introduced her to Ollie & Oscar kitties. They took very well to her. She maintained the house and litter box and fed them with care in our absence. We received daily picture and video updates which made us so happy and could tell that they were really warming up to her. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! THANK YOU 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️”

“Daniela really helped me out by taking care of Abby with short notice, when another dog sitter got sick. She was great with Abby, and I returned home to a happy dog!”

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.
“Sara was a great help with our dog Ella. She arrived on time,walked her then gave her supper and spent some time keeping her company. We would happily call on her again.”

“Lizzy exceeded all expectations and made my first experience leaving my cats for an extended period completely stress-free. From the start, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, putting my mind at ease. Each day, Lizzy sent adorable pictures of my cats, giving me peace of mind and keeping me connected to them while I was away. Her detailed messages were thorough, updating me on how they were doing, what they were eating, and any other observations she made. Not only did she meticulously follow all of our instructions, but she also went above and beyond in ensuring the cats were comfortable and well cared for. Working with Lizzy was seamless—her communication was prompt, her attention to detail unmatched, and her warm demeanor truly reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I think my kitties already miss her!”

“Juno is always super happy to see her friend Victoria. She always gets great care and lots of snuggles. We are always super happy to see our cat so happy! Thank you!”

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.
“Wei-Chien was an amazing, top notch sitter who went above and beyond for our kitties. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos and always provided an update on what she did with the cats and how they were doing. We knew our cats were in good hands with Wei-Chien - even when there were messes. We would highly recommend her services and we plan on hiring her again in the future. Thank you Wei-Chien for your amazing work!”

“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!”

Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️

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.
