“Melinda was great with her drop in Visits with our two cats while we were away. The feedback and photos were very informative and we felt our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
“We had such a wonderful experience having her take care of our two cats while we were away on a family vacation. From the very beginning, she was an excellent communicator, attentive to our needs, and incredibly respectful of our home and privacy. What stood out the most was how careful, gentle, and genuinely caring she was with our pets. She took the time to understand their individual needs and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly someone who truly loves animals. We came home knowing our cats had been treated with the same care and attention we would give them ourselves. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. **We will definitely hire her again!** ❤️”

“Ava was excellent! She was quick and easy to communicate with and she took great care of our boys while we were exploring Sicamous and the Wineries! Would love to have her again when we return for another vacation! Highly recommend.”
About: I love dogs so much that I earned my diploma in Canine Behavior! Every step of the way, I use my science-based background to help ensure your dog has a positive experience. I’m a very patient person and work especially well with shy or timid dogs that need a gentle presence and a little extra time to learn to trust someone new. I love a morning and midday time slot as it allows me to work part time with my other commitments! I may have weeks with more or less availability so message me and we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us! Because of my background in Canine Behavior, I use positive reinforcement techniques when caring for pets in both my home and clients’ homes. I take a proactive approach to behavior by paying attention to what may be causing stress, excitement, or unwanted behaviors so I can help set pets up for success. I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether that means offering snuggles and reassurance, using treats and rewards, or encouraging polite behaviors in gentle, consistent ways. For example, if a dog jumps up, I wait until they’re calmly seated before greeting them so I can reinforce calm behavior in the future.
About: I've been taking care of dogs most of my life. I have experience caring for all sorts of dogs of any age. I do have a 2 year old pet beagle girl named Macy. She's very kind and loves people and dogs alike. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my partner. It has a fenced yard in a safe south side neighbourhood by Ellerslie Rd and is a few steps away from a park. I can walk, feed, bathe, and host overnight boarding. I love dogs and that translates to happy dog experiences! I have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to easily fit your busy lifestyle. I have an open availability in the spring/summer and in the fall/winter I work part time. I love going for long walks daily throughout my neighbourhood. I have two baby gates that prevent dogs from leaving the living room. I have other rooms, including a finished basement, that can be used to separate dogs who don't get along with each other. I have a variety of treats and toys.
About: I've owned pets for over 20 years. I have recent experience with puppy training and senior care. I've had my own cats and now a small dog. I'll treat your animals like my own and want them to be as happy as can be. I recently lost my cat of 18 years which broke my heart. I can't have another cat at the moment but I'd love to take care of yours! I love my little dog very much and I'd love to give your pet the care that it needs during the times you can't. I'm currently in graduate school a couple evenings per week and on Saturday mornings. My schedule is pretty flexible and I'm excited to meet your lovely pets! I have a flexible schedule, reliable vehicle, and am a trustworthy person. I have a small dog at home with a fenced in yard and she loves meeting new friends!
About: I’ve grown up around all different kinds of animals, I’ve volunteer at shelters and also worked at a dog kennel. I have two dogs of my own aswell! I currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, and give them lots of love and exercise. I will follow your instructions about your pets care/ needs and make sure I do everything that will make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: Hello, Pet Parents! 👋 I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—from farm cats in my childhood to training our family puppy for agility competitions in my teens. Animals aren’t just a hobby for me; they are my passion. While in university, I dedicated my time to volunteering at the SPCA, helping rehabilitate and comfort large, fearful dogs. Today, my home is filled with love from our two cats—including my 17-year-old senior orange tabby, Naranjito—and our family dog. Why Choose Me? Through years of personal pet ownership and professional pet sitting (including dogs, cats, and birds), I have developed a comfort level with specialized medical care: Senior Care: Understanding the gentle pace and extra patience older pets need. Injectable Medications & Testing: Experienced with diabetic care, including blood tests and insulin injections. Special Needs & Emergency Calm: Capable of managing complex conditions like canine epilepsy and severe allergies, ensuring your pet is comforted and safe during vulnerable moments. To us, our pets are a wonderful, beloved part of our world. But to them? We are their entire world. That simple realization shapes everything I do as a pet sitter. Every interaction, every walk, and every cuddle session comes down to one fundamental question: How is this animal experiencing the world, and how can I make that experience better? Animals experience life through a completely different lens—and often, a completely different nose! When your dog goes for a walk, it isn't just about physical exercise; it’s their morning newspaper, their social feed, and their grand adventure. When I’m with your pets, I act as their bridge to a bigger, more exciting world: For the dogs: It’s giving them the time and patience to sniff out every trail, explore new scents, and satisfy their curiosity. (My own pup always inspects my pant legs to get the full report on which fur-friends I’ve visited!) For the cats: It’s tuning into their subtle signals, and letting them explore at their own pace—whether that's investigating a new toy or scent-checking where I've been. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" pet sitting. Every animal has a distinct personality, and unique comfort zones. My goal is to meet them right where they are and provide genuine mental and physical enrichment while you're away. I treat every pet as the center of my universe while they're in my care—because I know you are the center of theirs. I work as a part-time letter carrier, but I have mornings (until 12), almost all evenings, and most weekends available to care for your pet(s). I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.
About: Hello! I have several years of experience working in doggy daycares, dog grooming studios, and providing dog walking and sitting services. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and currently have an Old English Sheepdog of my own. As a Registered Social Worker, I bring patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work from home doing part time hours. I can be flexible with my schedule to meet the needs of my clients. I’m trustworthy, reliable and have experience with senior dog care, puppies, all breed and sizes of dogs. I have a fully fenced yard for when they do need to go outside. I can tailor my services to what your dog’s needs are. I want to ensure I provide a home away from home. The dog’s well being and care is my number one priority.
“Alyssa is a sweet soul who I know cares for animals very much. She goes out of her way to make sure my Raja has love and attention, play time, outside supervised time in the sun and she is also able to proficiently give her the meds she needs! I also love that she gives really detailed notes on how my baby is doing. She is always on time as well :)”
“We really appreciated her patience with Benji. He was very shy and nervous with someone new, but she took her time, sat on the floor to help him feel comfortable, and never rushed him. Even though he wasn't ready for a walk, she made sure he had a chance to go outside and kept us updated throughout the visit. We'd happily book with her again.”
“Umber is amazingly patient with our reactive nervous girly! She’s patient and calm, and knows the most important ways to deal with reactive dogs like letting them come to you, not making eye contact until they’re ready, etc. By the end of the visit, Hannah was cuddled up on the couch with her. We are so incredibly grateful we found her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Larkspur
Jasmine was great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to me leaving town and show her the routine. Met all my expectations as requested and the cats seemed to love her, even Delilah let her pet her which isn’t an easy task for most people as she’s quite shy and skittish around new comers. I appreciate her punctuality as well. If ever in the future I need this type of service, Jasmine will be first choice. Highly recommend.
