“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”

About: I have had my own cats for over seven years, as well as kept pet rats for over six years. I have experience with all kinds of reactive, senior, anxious, and shy animals, as well as furry friends who require medication or extra special care. I am available in mornings and evenings, as well as weekends throughout the day, and will work with you to find the optimal time to care for your pets, especially for time-sensitive care such as walks, timed feeding, or medication. I can accommodate multiple visits per day, and am often available over weekends and holidays. I provide professional, dedicated, thorough, and thoughtful pet care for a wide range of furry friends. On walks, I ensure that your dog is safe and cared for, and receives plenty of exercise and enrichment. I am happy to go for long walks, or visits to the dog park, and will work with reactive or nervous dogs to make sure that they are supported. For drop-in visits, I ensure that I follow any instructions or special care requirements for your pets, and make sure that they get lots of attention and love. I keep pet areas such as litter boxes or small animals habitats neat and clean, and ensure that your home is in tip top shape for your return. Following my visits, I make sure to send detailed updates about your pets (including photos!), so that you can rest assured that your beloved companions are in good hands.

“Anna is a super wonderful and knowledgeable dog sitter! We went on a family vacation to Cuba and knew we were leaving our 3 rescue dogs in good hands. We had never left them alone with anyone else before so Anna came over several times before our trip to get to know them. Anna stayed at our home the entire week of our trip and in addition to the dog feeding and caring responsibilities and looking after our home, she also did several pooch walks daily. Our pooches appreciated her love and care and we enjoyed her daily photo updates. It was nice to come back to everything as we left it including happy healthy pooches!! Thanks Anna❤️❤️❤️”

“Calista was awesome! This was my first time using Rover. She communicated with me constantly and sent me some pictures. I also appreciate her adaptability as we are currently living in some chaos as we are moving. Definitely recommend her.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in elementary school for my friends and family and have loved them ever since. I enjoy every moment I spend with animals and love to hike so it’s perfect for me! I am a part-time soccer coach for elementary age children, and work evenings on the weekdays and mornings on the weekends, but other than that my schedule is pretty free! I have a fairly spacious house and yard! We are a smoke-free and caring home filled with animal lovers! We have a few pets but they are all calm and inviting! (A 2 year old cat and a 30 year old turtle)

About: I run Golden Alley, home of four Golden Retrievers. I know how hard it can be to leave your loved dog. I offer a special home away from home; or can come to you. I work from home so are flexible in our ability to provide care. I can come to your home to check in and provide care as well. I have an acre fenced yard with lots of privacy and space to roam. I also will do dog walks, treats and all kinds of doggie love.

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

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:)

“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.”

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: Hello! I'm Thalia, and I live in downtown Kingston neighbourhood close to many parks. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I grew up with and cared for a Wheaton Terrier for 14 years, and have been a dog lover my whole life. With such a flexible work schedule, I have a lot of free time that I'd love to spend hanging with a doggo! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I can give outdoor breaks whenever needed, and at least a 30-60 minute walk each day. I'm happy to follow special care instructions and can help with medication if needed. I will make sure that your dog has a very fun, safe and comfortable time with lots of love and attention! As I work from home full time, I am very flexible and can include pet care into my daily routine to fit the needs of your pets 😊 I live close to many parks for lots of outdoor play time, and in a safe neighbourhood for long walks. I do not yet have a dog of my own, so can devote all my attention to taking care of yours!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve helped look after many dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet in my care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment. Whether it’s maintaining routines, providing companionship, or giving extra care and reassurance, I make sure each pet feels secure and well cared for. I am open to caring for other animals as well! I have open availability to care for your pets! I have a part-time job that is flexible, so am able to provide services that fit your needs best. I’m happy to stay in your home & care for your animals where they are comfortable! I am respectful and trustworthy and can provide a clean CPIC.

About: (Note! I got a haircut. It's still me haha). As a pet owner I know that pets are part of the family. They need a lot of love (and work!) I can give your pet all the exercise and attention they deserve. I have experience with walking dogs of all types, caring for cats as well as scooping backyards! My availability varies week to week so it doesn't hurt to ask! More notice is always better. *If there is an emergency and I have to cancel I will let you know either the evening before or the morning of. If you won't be home make sure to leave an accessible key for access and so I can lock up when I leave. For walks please provide a leash.

“Christine was super understanding with our needs for Buddy. New puppy never been left alone and readily accepted our request for a meet & greet before the actual booking. Highly recommend her.”

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.

“Kelly understood and took care of an elderly cat’s needs so well, including lots of medications. She sent lovely updates and photos so I got to see just how happy Mr Mae was. She was kind, professional and an all-round pleasure. Thanks so much Kelly!”

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.
