House Sitting in Markham

“Vanessa was great with my dogs. They responded to her immediately and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent photos/videos and her communication was very clear and concise. I will definitely reach out to her again.”

“Victoria was such a great help for our last minute vacation. She worked with me to answer all my questions and put our minds at ease prior to leaving. She provided multiple daily updates and was overall so great. We really appreciated her kind personality and how she went above and beyond, doing extra things for our cat and keeping our apartment clean. For the five days she was here.”

About: Growing up, my mom was terrified of dogs, so I had pretty much accepted the heartbreaking idea that having one of my own would always be just a dream. That all changed when my girlfriend’s family brought home a goldendoodle. I was there for every milestone—his first zoomies, his awkward puppy phases, his goofy charm. A few years (and a wedding!) later, we welcomed a dog (Aussiecollie) of our own into our lives. Since then, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pups at every stage—from cute but mischievous puppies to wise old senior doggos. Whether it’s the everyday stuff like feeding and walking, or the quirky tasks like removing eye boogers and cleaning ear, I’ve done it all with love. Whether your dog’s a couch potato, a squirrel chaser, or a professional slipper thief—I’m here for it. Book with me, and I’ll make sure your pup has a fun time! I work from home and usually home on the weekends so my schedule is flexible to care for pets, whether it be taking them for a walk, overnight stay or drop in visit. I will treat every dog with the same level of care and love, I do with my dog. Communication is key and i will make sure I understand the dog parent expectations of me so I can take care of their dog.

“Janelle was fantastic with Kali. She took special care of her and made sure she got lots of exercise and play time.”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Stephanie as a dog sitter for my Lulu, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I contacted her, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to Lulu and my needs. She took the time to get to know Lulu, asking about her routine, preferences, and any special care she might need. During her time with Lulu, she went above and beyond, ensuring Lulu felt comfortable and loved. Stephanie provided regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Lulu's well-being and happiness. When I returned home, Lulu was not only well-cared for but also seemed to have formed a lovely bond with her sitter. I highly recommend Stephanie as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to providing exceptional care for their furry friends! She even made sure she kept the house and Lulu clean and followed all my instructions for how to care for Lulu.”

About: I’ve loved dogs all my life and I am looking to foster after this experience on Rover. My family used to own a pet store for 6 years and I would always visit to take care of the animals. I own my own business and work from home which allows me to give your dog the attention it needs. Dogs need lots of energy and I’ve also got lots to give! I have a large house with lots of family that enjoys dogs, we are a very responsible household and will always respect your boundaries when it comes to your dogs. I’m here to give them physical as well as mental stimulation!

“Great experience with Mark. Contacted him last minute and he was easily able to accommodate and adapt. Our little Pomeranian is timid with strangers and he really helped her warm up to him. I would 100% recommend. Will be contacting him again soon!”

“This was Erica’s second time sitting with Theo & it went just as well as the first, if not better. Her personality & experience are a perfect fit for Theo’s personality. She even got him to take his pills without any issue. I definitely will recommend her to others & hire her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of two kitties for over 4 years. I keen to observing, spending time to play with them. They are getting closer to me day by day. I’m currently working from home. Since I have enough space, I’m available to do one cat’s boarding. And I’m also available for dog walking services. I have two friendly kitties at home. I like to spend time playing with them often since I’m working from home. I will make sure your furry baby being taken well care of. For visiting the client’s place, I will reach out to the client prior to the visit, to learn details about the pets as much as I can. Put pets and their owners at ease with reliable , conscientious care.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ pets before and love to walk and play with pets! I hope to provide as much joy as they bring me by just being in my life. Unfortunately due to housing restrictions I don’t have any pets of my own right now so this is a great way for me to be around pets. I have the summer off before I head back to school in the fall, so I am readily available to take care of your pets at a moment's notice. Experience: I've lived with many different pets in the past, and taken care of them for my friends/housemates when away. I have lived with and taken care of a chihuahua mix, a husky, a black labrador, and a yorkshire terrier. I have also lived with and taken care of cats and a rabbit.

About: Important Information – Please Please *READ* Before Booking. Thank you. Hi, fellow animal lover here! 🐾 I would be delighted to care for your dog if he/she is well-behaved and trained. I absolutely love dogs! There's a dog park nearby, so if you prefer I don't take your dog there, please let me know. I usually take my own dogs there, and they always have a blast! ****IMPORTANT**** Requirements for Dogs: House-trained Only: I cannot accept dogs that aren't fully potty trained. Pee pads are NOT allowed in my house, as there’s a risk of accidents on the carpet. No Chewing or Stealing: If your dog has a tendency to chew on items or steal food/garbage, please bring a crate. If your dog isn’t crate-trained and barks when crated, I’m not the right sitter for you. Be Honest About Behavior: Please don’t hide potential issues like barking when left alone, accidents indoors, or destructive tendencies. Misrepresenting your dog’s behavior will result in extra charges, as I value transparency and fairness. Responsible owners deserve affordable sitters! Well-trained dog owners will even receive a cash-back incentive. 🐶💰 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKINGS： Noise Sensitivity: While I’m home 6 days a week, there will be times when I step out for 1-2 hours (e.g., grocery shopping or dining out). If your dog barks excessively when left alone, I cannot accept him/her, as my neighbors are very noise-sensitive. Accidents Indoors: Dogs with a history of peeing or pooping inside a sitter’s house due to unfamiliar environments are not a good fit. I firmly believe that a well-trained dog should not have random accidents. (For context, my dogs don’t!) If accidents occur despite adequate walks (and I will provide photos and timestamps for proof), I will not accept your dog in the future. Aggressive Behavior Policy： For everyone’s safety, I do not accept aggressive dogs. If your dog displays signs of aggression or biting, I will require you to pick him/her up immediately. (In such cases, I may request an emergency contact for pick-up arrangements, and refunds will be handled through Rover.) Why I Do This： This is more of a passion than a job for me. I love dogs and want to help other pet owners like myself feel at ease knowing their pets are in a safe, loving environment. I aim to provide affordable care but have had to adjust my pricing due to high demand. Rates are negotiable based on your dog’s behavior. Let’s work together to make this an enjoyable experience for both of us—and, of course, our furry friends! 🐕🐾 Thank you for your understanding, honesty, and cooperation! About Me： I currently work from home and only need to go to the office once a week. During weekdays, I spend most of my time at home. I have volunteer experience at an animal clinic and shelters, so I’m knowledgeable about dog care and have some training experience as well. How I Interact With Dogs At Home： Dogs will get a minimum of two walks every day and can run freely in my backyard. I will also play with them and provide some basic training during my free time! They are also allowed to be on sofa or bed as I love cuddling！

“Sally was on time, reliable, responsible and cared for our pets. She sent lots of photos and updates. We highly recommend her.”

About: I bring a unique combination of hands-on animal care experience, a calm and confident presence, and a genuine love for all pets no matter big or small, young or senior. I’ve volunteered at dog shelters where I cared for dogs of all breeds. I’m patient, observant, and experienced with bathing, feeding, and walks! As a current cat owner, I treat every animal like family and every job with professionalism. Throughout the week, I make time to walk for dogs in my neighbourhood, which keeps me active and grounded. I structured my schedule around reliability and consistency. I take pet routines seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and emotional wellbeing are always top priority. I aleays follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or preferred playtime activities. My focus is on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and safe in their familiar space. I maintain a clean and tidy environment, making sure food and water area stay fresh, yard spaces are properly cleaned, and the home is left just as I found it, or better! I also make it a priority to keep the owners updated with messages, photos a d notes so they know how things are going.

About: It's been two years since I began fostering and in that time I've learned a lot about the importance of caring for a pet whether it be basic training/ commands, thresholds or ensuring they receive proper mental stimulation. With my first foster (eventually foster fail), it was a lot of trial and error to figure out which training method was best suited for him because every dog response is different based on their breed and unique personality. The rescue (Sea Paws Rescue) was very complimentary of my foster's training and said he was one of their best trained intake! I've since fostered a rescue puppy and provided the same basic training to ensure they found their forever home, which we did! The family was also very impressed with how well the puppy responded to sit and down commands. During this time, I also watched 3 dogs in the same household over a two-week period, while ensuring each dog received the required training and engagement on a daily basis. I treat every dog in my care as if their my own and ensure safety precautions are in place to avoid any unnecessary incidents. I also understand that leaving your dog in an unfamiliar environment and person can be nerve wracking, so I will always provide regular updates via text, pics, or videos! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! P.S.: I'm also in the process of completing my Pet First Aid Certificate with Walks and Wags Pet First Aid. I'm currently part of a 4 month community program that requires a in-person meeting once a week, but other than that my schedule is fairly flexible as I'm currently job hunting. During my two-week stint of caring for three dogs at the same time, it brought me a lot of joy to be surrounded by three loveable (and different) dogs. It also helped my foster pup understand proper boundaries with other dogs to know when and when not to engage or give proper space. In my home, I ensure that it's a safe, clean, and inviting environment for my dog. I also provide a structured routine to ensure he is properly stimulated - both mentally and physically (ex. Morning potty break, breakfast, and morning walks). For your pets, I guarantee they will receive the same treatment as if they were my own. If they have a routine, certain boundaries, or essential needs, I will do everything I can to ensure it's followed exactly as required.
