“Bellica was wonderful with our fur family. She sent photo updates which is so nice to receive. She cared for our 3 cats and 1 dog, which of which needed medicine which she took care of. We came home to a very clean and tidy home as well. Would recommend!”

“Our pups received exceptional care from Kristina. We were updated with photos. A kennel was not an option and we were so happy that this went well. Definitely will be booking with Kristina in the future”

“Alyce left the house clean and checked in often. Our animals were well cared for.”

“Thalia was absolutely wonderful with our boy, Bohdi! Bohdi is a very nervous Australian Shepherd, so we were a little anxious about leaving him in someone else’s care. From the moment Thalia arrived, she was patient, caring, and incredibly understanding of his personality. Over the three days she spent with him in our home, she was able to help him relax and made sure he had a fun, exciting, and comfortable time. She also sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which gave us such peace of mind and made us feel confident that we had made the right choice. Thalia is trustworthy, experienced, compassionate, and clearly loves what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our special boy. We would absolutely recommend Thalia to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home.”

“Myriam was a pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for animals was evident from the start, and our dog, cat, goats, and chickens were all exceptionally well cared for during our absence. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean, well-maintained home and happy, relaxed pets. I would confidently recommend Myriam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“Upon first meeting Calista I knew she would be a great fit for us. Our big bully mix dog loved her right away. Calista is confident, capable and a great communicator. We're very happy with her services and have no second thoughts asking her for help again.”

About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life. I love all animals and staying active and can schedule a regular dog walking or house/pet sitting :) Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise, and I keep their space clean. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy spending time with animals. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, provide companionship, keep them engaged with play and activities, and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I also communicate regularly with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.

About: I have over two years of experience providing reliable and compassionate pet care for dogs. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring overall health and well-being. My experience also includes maintaining clean living environments, monitoring behavior for any signs of illness, and communicating regularly with pet owners to provide updates and peace of mind. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care as well as pet owners. We own a family business where I work from home Mon-Fri. As long as internet is accessible, I do not need to leave for work! I like to break up my day by going for a walk with whichever furry friends are in my presence. I enjoy spending time with all types of dogs. Cuddlers who like to relax together, energetic dogs who like to go for long walks, I can be available to follow any meal times and/or medications.

About: Hi! I’m a third year Queen’s University student who seriously misses having dogs around while I’m at school! Back home, I have six dogs of my own (yes, six lol! chaos, love, and fur everywhere), and I’ve fostered over 100 dogs throughout my lifetime with many different dog rescues. Basically, my life resume is just… dogs. I love pups of all ages, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a slower stroll and some extra love. A few of my dogs have been through puppy school, where we both learned tricks, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, routines, and good walking manners. I truly believe dogs are better than humans (no offence), and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a long adventure walk, a potty break, or just someone who genuinely loves being around dogs, I’ve got them covered. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and tail wags are always my top priority 🐾 Since I am a university student with a mix of in-person and online classes, that leaves me with lots of consistent free time between classes. My schedule doesn’t change week to week, and I’m free most weekends for walks, drop-ins, and quality pup time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize safety on walks, keep spaces tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pup is in great hands:)

About: I have owned two dogs in my life (one being a 90 pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the other being a 50 pound french bulldog). I have been relied on by family and friends since a young age to walk, bathe, feed, and be of good company to their pups. I am currently working part-time hours so rest assured your pup with get everything they need while they are in my care. Whether that means taking your dog on a nice walk during the day/evening and/or giving the best company possible to make sure that your fur babies feel at home for the duration of their stay. I love in a quiet neighbourhood that is lovely to go on walks throughout. There is also a big field around the corner from my place that I can bring your dog to play fetch if that is something your pup enjoys doing.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, I started my own dog grooming business when I was 11, and have had many repeat clients stay with me over the years. I was hired by a local dog groomer so I have experience with a lot of dog breeds and their temperaments. I also worked on a horse farm for 7 years that had various dogs and cats as well! I am working during some days right now, I would be excited to talk more to see if I could accommodate your schedule and mine! In my pet sitting service, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for pets, whether it's in my home or yours. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample exercise and playtime, and personalized attention tailored to each pet's needs. I also maintain open communication with pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns promptly.

About: I grew up with five dogs, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including anxious pups who need extra patience and love. I’ve run my own dog walking business and have worked at two dog kennels (one of which I’m currently at) and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on pet care. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust visits and walks to fit your pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions and give plenty of love and patience (especially to anxious or shy pets) while always respecting your home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Abby took wonderful care of our diabetic cat, including injections. She was very easy to communicate with, both through the Rover app and in person.”

Bev L.

“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”

John M.

“Tommy was great. All around good communications, our pets were well looked after and our big pup was very happy to have someone for walks.”

Stephane D.

“Chelsey was polite and a great communicator. She took good care of our dog and home. I would like to book her again soon.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and my absolute favorite thing to do is train them and play with them! Over the years, I naturally became the go-to dog sitter for friends and coworkers because of my bubbly personality and the way dogs respond to me. I’ve had the joy of caring for over 10 different dogs, each with their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s keeping a playful pup entertained, working on training, or giving extra love to senior dogs, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Spending time with dogs is one of the highlights of my day! I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine… it never feels like “work” to me. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to adjust my days around pet care, whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and always make time for in my week. When I walk or drop in on your dog, their safety and well-being are always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and keep a close eye on your dog to make sure they’re safe at all times. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, or routines so your dog stays comfortable and cared for just like they would with you. Along with exercise and play, I make sure they have fresh water and are settled before I leave. You can trust that your dog will always be in responsible and caring hands.

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since I was 16, caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I'm partially retired and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. As a former dog mom, I miss the companionship, walks, joy and love that dogs bring to everyday life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or extra attention while you're away, I'm able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of schedules. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making them feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special needs. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and your dog's comfort level to help ensure a safe and positive experience. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident.
