About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I offer comprehensive, loving care for your pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. With a background in animal first aid and a deep understanding of pet health, I’m fully prepared to handle any situation that arises, including administering all types of medications and providing specialized care for diabetic pets. I am highly observant, trained to spot potential emergency situations before they escalate, so you can trust that your pet is in capable hands. Whether your furry friend needs routine care, medications, or monitoring for specific health concerns, I tailor my services to meet their unique needs. With a warm, friendly demeanor, I build strong relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s health, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule, ensuring that each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve without disruption. Whether it's a morning walk, mid-day medication administration, or evening playtime, I prioritize consistency and reliability. I tailor my services around each pet's specific needs—whether it's providing extra support for senior pets, giving medication on time, or simply offering companionship and care when their owners are away. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate your pet's needs while maintaining a balanced and organized schedule. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their routine as much as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. I follow your pet's daily schedule, ensuring they get their meals, medications, and exercise at the right times. I take extra care to provide them with comfort, companionship, and mental stimulation through play and cuddling, while respecting the familiarity of their home. I keep the space clean, monitor their well-being, and keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Josselyn has been an amazing pet sitter for my mini dachshund Rain, doing check ins 3-4 times a week for the last month. She's very kind and considerate when in your home, and especially when taking care of your pet! Her notes are super detailed, and you can tell she takes great enjoyment out of spending time with animals! Would strongly reccomend her :) Thanks Josselyn!”
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.

“Heather was amazing! We were gone for two weeks over the holidays and she took amazing care of Pickle! We had some mishaps with our automatic feeder and she really went above and beyond to make us feel reassured!”
About: We bred dogs in our family home growing up. I’m comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs. I’ve always lived with a dog and dogs are naturally drawn toward me! I’m available during the day, evenings and anytime on the weekends! (Excluding Monday evening, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays mornings). Please reach out so we can organize and look at both of our calendars! Each animal requires a unique style of care. I care for my pets closely around their personality and most importantly I make exercise, mental stimulation and affection a priority. As well as quality nutrition. I prefer to shy away from unhealthy treats as I value the longevity and health of my pet companions!
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have 10+ years of personal experience with pets, along with hands-on experience through Rover. I’ve completed several pet-sitting stays, including caring for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, and I’m fortunate to have received some very nice reviews from previous clients. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I really enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing and getting some energy out, exploring new trails, or simply hanging out at home and keeping them company. Communication is also important to me when caring for someone else’s pets. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and instructions as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around your pet’s needs and routine. I’m generally available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times to make sure I can provide the care your pet needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their schedule as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I always follow the owner’s instructions and any safety precautions they have established for their pet. This could include using a kennel when needed, keeping pets in designated or fenced-off areas, keeping doors and gates securely closed, and making sure they don’t have access to anything unsafe. I also pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and surroundings and will adjust as needed to keep them comfortable and safe. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll reach out to the owner rather than make assumptions.
“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’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for many different types of pets. Along with my two dogs, I’ve spent years pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also previously owned a bearded dragon and lots of fish, so I’m comfortable learning and following care routines for animals beyond just cats and dogs. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part time and I’m in school but I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after 2pm. I’m also available anytime on Saturdays but I’m only available on Sunday evenings :) I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’m attentive to changes in a pet’s behaviour or health and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and making sure everything is as it was when I arrived.
“I have used Anick more than once for my two cats, both elderly. I have found them to be content and in good spirits after being away - even after a week of absence. Anick took good care of their food, litter and attention needs - my cats need a lot of attention. I found they showed all the signs of getting good quality attention while I was gone.”
About: Its hard enough to leave a pet with a stranger I'm hoping to make that a little bit easier. Besides taking care of personal pets since I was 10yrs old, in recent years I've taking a liking to babysitting friends dogs both at their home or mine. I have a daughter who I consider when looking at my schedule and as long as we have a friendly bunch I would be taking her along. I've taught her to respect animals just as much as I do and pet personal space is considered into that. I have a small fenced yard, but plenty of walking trails around. I don't have any pets of my own besides the 2 dogs and cat at my moms that stayed with my family when I moved out. I like to engage with the animals, if I'm coming to your house or otherwise to care for your animal I want them to feel seen and loved in the stressful moments while the most important people in their life are away.
“This was my first time to have someone other than a family member look in on my semi-elderly cat while I was away. I'm so pleased that I chose Tracy for my little bub's daily checkups. Tracy was there every day on time and this made for the best experience for my shy elderly cat. I would definitely book Tracy in the future.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats and a big, energetic Sheepadoodle! Because I care for my own furry family every day, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will absolutely treat yours like my own. My previous cat lived to be 21 years old, so I have a lot of handson experience with the gentle, patient care that older animals require. I am dedicating my time full-time to pet care, specifically focusing on cat drop-in visits. Because my schedule is completely open and highly flexible, I can easily accommodate your cat's preferred routine, whether they need morning, afternoon, or evening check-ins. I have plenty of time to give them undivided attention, active playtime, and all the cuddles they want! Since I specialize exclusively in drop-in visits, my top priority is making sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and happy in their own home territory. I am highly observant, detail-oriented, and extremely respectful of your living space. During my visits, I ensure all doors are secure, meticulously clean the litter boxes, and strictly follow your specific feeding or care instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and lots of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
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.
