About: I have always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to details, whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some company while you are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable while you are away. I’m available for pet care after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I can also be flexible with weekend bookings to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and other special needs. I am attentive to their behavior and surroundings to help prevent accidents and keep them comfortable.
“This was our second time booking with Lidiya, and we were just as happy as the first time. She is caring, reliable, and keeps us well updated. Knowing our cat is in such good hands gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
About: Growing up my family and I used to rescue dogs, making me very patient with all types of furbabies! I can take on any challenge. My baby was a special needs dog who needed attentive care 24/7 which helped me learned a lot about animal care. I have experience with my senior pets as well as both my husband and I care for our family pets when our parents needs us to! Both my husband and I have a wide experience in bird, rodent, reptile care as well. Any animal is welcome in our home, guaranteed a safe environment that would accommodate your pet needs. To get to know about me and my love for animals check my highlights on Instagram at allykatigbak or potato.the.bully. Since we have cared for our own pets as well as foster dogs in the past we have lots of toys, beds, treats, apparel for cold weather ranging from small to XXL and a crate if needed. We’re happy to share these with your babies during their stay with us to ensure safety, enrichment and comfort. I work from home and only go into the office twice a week, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My own dog recently passed, and caring for him, especially as a special needs pet. This taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of attentive care. I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the same love, comfort, and dedication I gave to mine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space filled with toys, treats, and cozy beds to help them feel right at home. Pets are always welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel like part of the family. Whether they love to play, nap, or snuggle, their environment is always clean, secure, and full of care. A crate is also available if they prefer their own space.
About: Having begun walking neighborhood dogs as a teenager, I have plenty of experience. I am an avid researcher into positive training methods, and have wanted to work with dogs since I was a child. I currently work only a few hours a week in Retail, and volunteer at the humane society. I have taken and received certification for fear free handling of pets in the shelter environment- a transferable skill for kennelling In my off time, I’m working with my own dog, who I have trained from puppyhood. I had my own reactive rescue lab from (his)ages 5-14, and raised two puppies since. The youngest is a 3yr gsd mix. My dog experience is focused mostly around large dogs and puppies. Up to 89lbs As to cats, I have raised two kittens. One lived to 9 before the cancer. One is still growing strong. Matt is my senior boy, whom I have had for 12 years now.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets (four cats and one dog) my whole life. This requires feeding, walking, picking up after/ changing littler, and best of all; cuddles. I’m currently a second year student at Western University. I am taking a few online classes each semester so I have a lighter schedule of in-person classes to attend. I will have only a few three hour blocks during the week I will be at class, otherwise, I am available. To care for pets in my home and/ or at my clients home, I am willing to adapt to how the pet owner would like me to care for their pet. I am very easy- going and able to change my care style per request. We do not have any pets in this home, so if your pet isn’t comfortable being around other animals, that won’t be a problem.
About: I’ve owned animals (mainly dogs) since I was 7 years old and learned about the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets, especially when they're busy or away. I’m comfortable following different routines and adapting to new personalities. I’m currently job searching so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m free for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I have one dog myself and am used to the routine of taking care of an animal. In your home, I will stick to consistency and comfort. I will stick to your schedule (ideally written down for me) and keep you updated with photos/check-ins.
About: My family owned dogs most of my life and I was the main caretaker of her. I took care of all her needs including administering prescription pills. I have also volunteered with a cat rescue charity, taking care of up to 14 adult cats and kittens at a time. I was in charge of their water, litter, play, diets/food as well as any ointments or pills. I’m currently not working and would love to do more with my time helping pet parents where I can as I can never get enough animal love! I’ve taken courses both in person and online about animal welfare and behaviour and have cared for many different pets throughout my life. I am a quiet individual who knows when to let a pet choose the pace of interactions.
About: I have 20+ of experience providing compassionate, reliable care for dogs, cats, and other pets. I specialize in pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, administering medication, and giving animals the love and attention they need when you're away I'm currently working part-time in Healthcare but am available most days after 3pm. I can be available 7 days a week. I can be flexible and come earlier in some instances. At this time I am offering pet sitting services in my clients home. I am responsible and respectful of my clients environment. Background check available upon request.
About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.
“Kali was amazing! She stayed at our house while we were away and took great care of our two cats, Juno and Maverick. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip. The cats seemed to really enjoy her company, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Kali and would happily have her care for our pets again! 😊”
About: I primarily focus on cat care and have hands-on experience taking care of my own cat. I understand daily routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to a cat’s behavior and comfort level. I am experienced with playful and curious cats, and I always ensure interactions are safe and stress-free. I prefer working with cats to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel secure and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I am able to dedicate consistent time to caring for cats throughout the day. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention based on your cat’s routine. I maintain a very clean and hygienic environment. I vacuum daily and clean the litter box at least twice a day to ensure comfort and cleanliness. I also provide regular grooming care, including cleaning around the eyes and face, wiping paws, and maintaining overall hygiene. I pay close attention to small details to keep cats comfortable and well cared for. When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.
About: With my Veterinary Assistant diploma and experience caring for animals, I take pride in providing the best possible care for every pet. Whether it’s a playful puppy or kitten, a loving senior, or a pet needing a little extra attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I’m available mornings and early afternoons Monday - Friday. I am offering drop in visits and dog walking. I take pride in providing the best care possible and will love your fur babies as if they were my own while in my care.
About: Animals have my heart more than anything else:) I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little and make sure they all get love. I have had a cat for 8 years now and a puppy who is almost a year old. Training a puppy was a bit challenging at first, but it sure has taught me how to take better care of dogs. Some of the cats I've pet-sat for have been antisocial, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love; they just need a different approach. I am currently taking a gap year so i'm mostly free during the day, though I do need to take care of my cat and dog:) When I have pet-sat at clients' houses before, I ask if I can come a couple days before I'm scheduled. That way I can meet the pets, and the client can go over what they would like me to do. For instance, when I have someone watch my pets, I have a list of everything that needs to be done, such as litter box or feeding.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - London
Derlene was absolutely wonderful with our two Ragdoll boys, Mochi and Guinness! She did twice-daily drop-ins while we were away for our wedding, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands! 🐱🐱 Mochi can be quite shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, so we were especially happy to hear that he absolutely loved Derlene and warmed up to her so quickly! Derlene sent us updates and lots of photos every visit, which we really appreciated while we were away. We’re so grateful she took such great care of our boys and would absolutely recommend her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Alex is really nice and you can tell she really cares about animals and understands them and how to care for them. She looked after my 2 cats while I was out of town and right after our meet and greet I felt comfortable knowing they would be in her care. She is thorough and detailed oriented. She sent me videos, pictures, & updates on how my cats were doing each visit, and I never felt worried about them during my trip. I will definitely request to rebook with her next time I go out of town.
Jayden did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Copper. She independently took care of him for over a week and was reliable. She handled all responsibilities with utmost care and properly secured my home locks between visits. I would definitely recommend Jayden and welcome her back to take care of Copper!
I highly recommend Katie! She was absolutely wonderful with my cat and checked in on her every day this week while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in such good hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful she was, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after my cat again! 🐾❤️
Simply said, Taylor was amazing! We truly appreciated her looking after our precious feline, Juliet, while we were abroad for two weeks. She daily visits for feeding, cuddles and frequent updates and photos helped us to fully relax and enjoy our travels! She treated our home like it was hers - keeping it tidy by vacuuming, and watering my plethora of tropical plants! We came home to a peaceful oasis and a very happy cat! Thank you so much, Taylor!
Sneha took wonderful care of my cat, Nila! She was very gentle, patient, and attentive, and made sure Nila was comfortable throughout the visit. She followed all instructions carefully and spent quality time with her, which I really appreciated. I also loved the updates, it gave me peace of mind knowing Nila was in such good hands. You can truly tell Sneha loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!
