“Alissa is fantastic! She communicated very well, every single day. Since it was our first time on Rover, Alissa explained the whole process and made all the necessary adjustments. She is a fantastic person and very caring pet sitter! I highly recommend Alissa! We will definitely be asking her to sit with our cats and dog next time we're traveling.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Reid with the care of our beloved furry companions, Leo and Bella, during our vacation. We were impressed beyond measure with Reid's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine affection for our pets. Without a doubt, we can confidently say that Reid provided exceptional care and went above and beyond our expectations. Throughout our vacation, Reid regularly updated us with texts and photos of Leo and Bella, offering peace of mind and allowing us to stay connected with our furry friends.It was clear that Reid genuinely cared for their well-being and took the time to establish a bond with them. Upon our return, we found Leo and Bella in excellent health and spirits. They were relaxed, content, and it was evident that they had received exceptional care in our absence. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Reid for the outstanding care provided to Leo and Bella. It is genuinely challenging to find someone who treats our pets with such devotion and dedication. Reid's professionalism, reliability, and evident love for animals make them an exceptional choice for pet care services.”
About: A Home Away From Home for Your Pup 🐾❤️ I truly believe dogs are family, and when they stay with me, I want them to feel right at home. I provide loving, personalized care and make sure every pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor time. I have two friendly dogs of my own - a Golden Doodle and a Shih Tzu, both almost 5 years old. They love meeting new friends and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run, explore, and play. I love giving dogs the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while also making sure they feel comfortable and safe inside the home. I keep the number of dogs I care for limited so I can give each pup the attention and care they deserve. I keep pet parents updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and having a great time. 😊 Whether your dog loves running around the yard, playing with furry friends, going for walks, or simply curling up beside me for some cuddles, they’re always welcome here. Your pup’s happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priority!!! I’m home full-time and available on both weekdays and weekends, so your pet is never left alone and receives constant supervision, attention, and care throughout their stay. We’re also flexible with drop-off and pick-up timings to make things easier for you! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that every animal receives individual attention. I stick to your pets' usual routine, including feeding, playtime, walks and sleep schedules. They are monitored and supervised at all times during their stay. VACCINATED PUPS ONLY.
“Katie was a great sitter for my older cat Samuel! She perfectly followed his twice-daily medication and feeding schedule, and replied promptly in our correspondence. I would not hesitate to re-book with Katie in the future.”
About: Hello! I am an animal lover through and through. I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while in university my roommates always had pets including dogs, cats, and birds! I do not currently have a pet myself, so I am excited to spend time with yours! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including puppies, as well as cats. I have also looked after very senior pets, as well as dogs with disabilities such as blindness. I’m a very active person who enjoys long walks, as well as jogging; I would love to bring your dog along for a run! While I love all pets, I have a soft spot for large dogs, especially cuddly ones! I’m currently saving up for graduate school this fall so any opportunities I can get I will take! I am currently a full time graduate student at Western University. My schedule is pretty open, and as long as I have internet access I can study anywhere! I also have a car so it is a breeze navigating from your home to campus! I would love to hear from you everything your dog loves in order to make them feel right at home! Their favourite toys, snacks, activities; I want to make sure they’re always happy and engaged.
About: Hello all! Me (Owen) and my girlfriend (Saoirse) are excited to host a vacation for you furry family member! Whether you’re away for the day or the week, your furry friends will be living it up. We have both had dogs since we were children, and have been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their pets. We live in the dog-friendly Wortley Village neighborhood, close to many parks, walking trails, and with loads of pee mail to be read.

About: Hi/Bonjour! I’m looking to make some extra money during these interesting times, and why not do something I love! I grew up with what felt like a zoo, and my love of animals has grown tremendously over the years. I’m here to provide your pets with a safe and fun loving environment. It’s so beautiful these days and I love going on long walks. I am able to care for dogs and cats of all ages. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, having grown up with them for most of my life. I’m actually sitting here writing this with my cousins cat sleeping beside me hahah! I’m also willing to try my hand at other animals, just might need a few instructions haha! If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out! :)
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats through friends and family, and I’ve always enjoyed caring for them. I have a 10 y/o dog of my own, so I’m especially comfortable with the patience, attention, and extra care that senior pets may need. I also have experience caring for cats and have spent years looking after pets for friends and family. When I first moved to Canada 8 years ago, I regularly dog-sat for a family friend, which is where I really started enjoying caring for other people’s pets. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra patience, or simply a little company and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I work during the week, so my schedule is generally busy from Monday to Thursday, but I can accommodate visits times after 5pm. From Friday through Sunday, I have more flexibility and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending my weekends outdoors, staying active, and being around animals, so dog walking and pet sitting would fit naturally into my routine. I’m excited to use my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. For now, I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits only. Although I may offer house sitting in the future. My top priorities are always safety and trust. For walks, I make sure your dog is securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and follow your instructions regarding their routine, behaviour, and needs.
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.
About: I am a caring and friendly animal lover who will give your pet plenty of love, attention, patience and care while you are away!! I have 2 cats at home so I’m very familiar with daily care! While I’m away at university I’d love to spend time caring for other pets and giving them the same affection I give my own!! 🐾 🩷 I am a university student with a flexible schedule as I typically only have one class per day. This gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, walks, playtime, feeding and companionship throughout the day! When caring for pets in clients home I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible including feeding walks playtime and any specific instructions from the owner. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space and comfort level! I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for :)
“Had a great experience booking Jess for the first time to check in on our pup for the weekend. She took the time to come by and meet him before we went away. She was very quick to respond and share photos which was very reassuring. She was reliable and took great care of our pup! Will book again in the future on weekends away :)”
“Very kind, professional, caring to my cat, sent pictures each visit and even reassured me about the safety of my cat and security and privacy of my home when I was worried about my first cat sitting booking! I highly recommend her!! Thank you for your care”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs, and loved my own dogs and cats as a pet parent, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society London & Middlesex. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, litter care and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable and experienced with administering basic medications if necessary. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend time with pets while house sitting, providing regular outdoor breaks, companionship and supervision throughout the day. My laptop is pretty easy to carry anywhere! For house sitting visits that are overnight, my husband and I will often work as a team, especially if there is more than 1 dog involved to provide the best possible care. Let me know in the request if for some reason you prefer just me (ex. If your animal is more comfortable with females or something). Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my day. I can easily bring my laptop with me while house sitting, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day rather than being away for long stretches. As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to plug in, I’m all set! This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime and lots of companionship. Pets in my care are treated like family. I know how important routines, comfort and consistency are, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of things like secure doors and gates, feeding schedules, medications, walks and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
“She did a great job looking after our two dogs and cat while we were away! We really appreciated the pictures and updates after each visit. She was very thorough and we felt confident knowing our pets were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: Growing up with five goldens I was always surrounded by dogs. Walking and playing with them was always my favourite part of the day and it still is! Most of my experience is with either puppies or senior dogs, however I am great with all types and sizes of fur babies. I’m currently working full time on a four days on and five days off schedule at noon so I have all of my five days to walk and play with your fur baby! I love being outside and caring for dogs of all sizes! Making your dog comfortable is my number one priority, whether that be going on lots of walks or just playing at home in the backyard, your dog will be treated like the king or queen that they are!
About: I have experience with taking care of small dogs, medium dogs and large dogs ; Walking them, feeding them and bathing them including puppies under 1 year old. Ex) Shih Tzu, Welsh Corgi, Labrador, and Great Danes. I'm a freelancer so I can adjust my schedule whatever I want, so I can take care of your pups and cats any time you want! I can feed them, walk them and play with them as they need. I love playing fetch with them, running with them and playing tug of war with them. I can make healthy snacks by pet parent's request/instruction with the ingredients at pet parent's home.
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 once 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.

Heather was absolutely amazing! I needed someone to check on my cat Manny on very short notice while I was out of town, and she was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. She followed all my instructions carefully, refilled his water, fixed his automatic feeder, and made sure everything was taken care of. She even spent time giving Manny lots of love and cuddles, which really meant a lot to me! She also went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside without me even asking. That was such a thoughtful gesture! Heather truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
We have been so grateful for the care and support Mikaela has provided to our mother and her two cats. She has been incredibly reliable, flexible, and communicative, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help. Mikaela took wonderful care of both cats, with particular attention to keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas clean, as well as taking care of any other cat-related messes. Just as importantly, she has been a tremendous support to our mother and was always thoughtful and willing to help wherever needed. We would absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. She has been a tremendous help to our family, and we are very appreciative of everything she has done.
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.
Shacelle was fantastic! She did an incredible job visiting and grooming our dog. She is professional, friendly, prepared, efficient, and communicated so well throughout the booking. She clearly has a magic touch with dogs - our pup loved her from start to finish! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
