This was the third time Foram has taken care of our cat, and once again, we had a wonderful experience. We were away for two weeks on a trip to Korea and felt quite anxious about leaving our only cat for such a long time. Foram kindly visited our home every day, and even twice a day on some days, which gave us great peace of mind. We received regular photo updates of Mary along with thoughtful messages, and it was clear that Foram was caring, attentive, and genuinely kind in looking after her. We felt completely reassured knowing Mary was in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have Foram as our pet sitter and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them since I was about 10 years old. Even before having my own dog, I regularly helped by walking neighborhood dogs of all sizes. One of those was a Rottweiler who had some behavioral challenges with strangers but bonded well with me, and I was trusted to walk him regularly when other walkers had difficulty. I’ve often been told I have a calm, reassuring energy that dogs seem to respond to naturally. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including rescues and foster dogs. I’ve also helped a close friend who worked with the SPCA by assisting with dog transport, including last-minute and emergency placements to and from foster homes. My first personal dog was a Husky–Malamute mix named Cody, whom I adopted from the SPCA at around 3–4 years old. He came with some challenges due to his previous living situation, but with consistency, patience, and an environment better suited to his needs, he became a wonderful companion. He was great with kids, cats, and other animals and lived a long, happy life into his senior years. I’ve also fostered a Pit Bull mix for several months until she found her forever home. In a previous chapter of my life, I shared a home with a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, and caring for them gave me a deeper appreciation for structure, routine, and clear communication — especially with intelligent, energetic dogs. While I’m not a trainer, I’ve always taken the time to work with my dogs in a patient, consistent way to help them feel secure and well-mannered. Currently, I have a young German Shepherd / Black Mouth Cur mix who is my daily companion. We focus on routine, enrichment, and basic obedience, and he’s a happy, social, people-friendly goof who’s often by my side. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently live with two, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in multi-pet households. While much of my experience happens to be with larger and working breeds, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes. I find that when you understand dog behavior and communication, those skills translate naturally to smaller breeds as well. My approach is calm, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a business owner with a detailing shop in Milton, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m not confined to a traditional 9–5, which allows me to step in and out as needed throughout the day. Bookings are always planned and accommodated in advance, making midday visits, early mornings, evenings, and weekends very doable. I’m able to adjust my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely walks or check-ins. When pets are in my home, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I do have a dog of my own, but my home is set up so dogs can be fully separated if needed, including having their own space and routine. If a pet is reactive or prefers to be alone, accommodations can easily be made. During the day, my dog is often at my shop with my husband, so he is not present when I’m doing walks, drop-ins, or day care outside the home. My yard is partially fenced, with plans to be fully fenced this year. In the meantime, I have designated tie-outs (over 50 feet) to allow for safe outdoor play. The property sits on approximately half an acre, providing plenty of space for movement and enrichment, along with lots of toys. I can easily crate pets if needed and have crates, separate food and water bowls, and supplies on hand. I also encourage owners to bring their pet’s bed or familiar items to help with comfort and settling in. I’m very flexible, communicative, and always happy to work with each pet’s individual needs.

About: We’ve cared for different pets since we were very young, and we’re comfortable handling all kinds of dogs. A lifelong experience observing canine body language helps me understand their needs quickly. We also know how to work with both high-energy puppies and calm, senior dogs. We believe in the importance of daily walks and exercise to keep them balanced, reduce stress, and support their overall well-being. We can take care of dogs during the week, as long as they’re used to being alone since we have a hybrid work schedule. Weekends are also open for me, which means we can spend extra time having fun with them and making sure they’re well cared for. We care for pets in my own home, where we offer a calm and safe environment. We have a small patio where they can relax, and we make sure they always feel comfortable. We also love taking them out for walks or playing with them to keep them happy and engaged.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time. I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends. I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!

I'm available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 11pam.

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities! For pets that need a little extra security or are still getting comfortable, I'm happy to crate them as needed — whatever helps them feel most at ease. You can rest assured your fur baby will be in a safe, loving, and welcoming environment.

Nikki was great with our cats, even our shy one got close to her and allowed a good few belly rubs which should tell you all you need to know. Nikki was very attentive taking care of their needs and playing with them to help them spend some energy. I highly reccommend her and will use her services again.

About: As long as I can remember, I've been crazy about animals - big and small! There is something truly special about the bond between an animal and their human. I approach everything I do with love, compassion and an open mind. I currently provide behaviour therapy to those affected by autism, work part time at Global Pet Foods in Milton, and I’m an Educational Assistant with the HDSB. I do not any shy away from challenges, and I have extensive experience with larger dogs with mobility challenges and autoimmune diseases. My lab suffered from wobblers syndrome and arthritis. My Rottie had both a THR and an FHO and was later diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ITP. My care included frequent trips to the vet and the emergency hospital, daily cooking, medication administration multiple times a day, assisted walking with a harness, frequent wiping, managing both diarrhea and vomit, and transporting my late boy to rehab sessions. Dogs are family and they will ALWAYS be treated as such in my care. I love dogs of all sizes ❤️ My Rottie recently passed in April 2026 and I want to be able to share the love I had for him with other dogs ❤️ In addition to my dog, I currently have a 11 year old indoor cat who I love to bits! Feel free to ask me any questions you like! Your furbaby will be in good hands at all times I can guarantee. Photos and videos will never be a problem as I always try to capture the best moments :). I will gladly provide character references from places of employment as well as from the local vet clinic and rehabilitation center ❤️ I can work with you for your pets care! I currently am not offering boarding, but I would be happy to come into your home to assist where needed, or walk your dog, or just be a companion in the evenings or weekends. I have more flexibility when I am out of school at the end of June. I will work with you and create a schedule of care! I am flexible and understanding and will provide exactly what works best for you and your dog.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I grew up surrounded by dogs and currently have two of my own. I trained both of them from puppy stage, giving me hands-on experience with training and daily care. I pride myself on being responsible, patient, and genuinely caring with every dog I look after. I usually work from home, and generally walk my dogs 2-3 times a day. I have a small and medium sized dog so daily walks are non negotiable. I won’t accept clients for days I go into the office. I have a fenced yard and have 2 friendly dogs at home so your pup will always be entertained if they want to. My 5yo child also loves dogs and is very gentle with them.

About: What sets me apart is that I work from home, so dogs get consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. I take dogs out about every three hours to help keep them active, comfortable, and accident-free. I have lived with and trained dogs for most of my life, and I enjoy caring for dogs with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a steady routine, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience. I have an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who is friendly with other dogs, and my home in Milton is puppy-proofed for safety. When I am home, dogs have access to the house and can relax, play, and stay close by. I want each dog to feel comfortable and well cared for during their stay. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Dogs go out for walks or potty breaks about every three hours to help keep them happy, comfortable, and accident-free. Because I am home throughout the day, pets get regular attention, supervision, and companionship. Since I work from home, dogs are supervised throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment where pets can stay comfortable and feel secure. I follow each owner’s care instructions closely, keep a consistent routine for walks and breaks, and make sure pets have space to relax, play, and stay safe.

About: Don't wanna walk in the snow? I will. Don't wanna walk in the rain or after work? I will. Currently I own a female Rottweiler so I understand how important play time and being active with pets is. I also enjoy it. I am available during days, early morning or late evening walks or visits. If you are out for the night or have a early day. I do not walk more than 2 dogs at a time so your dog gets my attention and is safe. Rottweilers are also very clumsy so I do keep a puppy proof environment for boarding , good for overnight stays. I live right across the street from a vet & animal hospital incase of any emergencies. I live close to several trails, the boardwalk and a beach, so dogs will enjoy the walks. My work schedule is very flexible & close to home. Morning, afternoon & evening time’s available. Holidays will be available which can be hard to find someone. I have a very clumsy big dog so my home is clean, free of obstructions, edges, food etc for safety. Lots if space & comfy mats / beds for pets. Toys are kept in safe locations when its not play time.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Milton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
