“Sofia did a very good job looking after my two cats. She was very responsible, trustworthy and competent. My cats are older, which means that they need a little extra care with medications. I would not hesitate to book her services again in the future.”
About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!
“This was our first time using Melanie for our cat Larry. She was very professional! Had excellent daily updates and paid very special attention to our pet. She was even able to tell us what treats he liked and what activities he enjoyed. She was an excellent pet sitter and we'd be happy to use her again! We highly recommend her!”
About: I currently own a 3 year old Mini Poo but grew up with Dobermans, cats, birds, a rabbit and had a fish. I potty trained my current dog as we got her as a puppy and I do light grooming on her. I love dogs of all sizes but I definitely have a soft spot for large dogs since i grew up with my Dobs. I love going for dog walks and interacting with the dog however they like to play. Cuddles welcome. I'm currently working part time from home and would love to spend my days caring for animals. I enjoy going for walks and being outdoors. I drive, have a valid G licence, CPR with AED and a valid vulnerable sector screening check. I can drive to your home to care for your pet in their own environment where they feel most comfortable.

About: Hi, I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a dog for 5 years and I have petsitted/walked many of my friends’ dogs as they know how much I genuinely love caring for dogs. Just moved in nearby and am working part time so my schedule is pretty open. I look forward to making time for your furry companion. I will care for your dog as if it is my own.

“Thank you to Jessica for taking such great care of our two dogs! Jessica was punctual, caring and delivered excellent communication. We will definitely reach back out again and highly recommend Jessica to anyone else looking for a trusted and kind person to care for their pets.”
About: I am a proud pawrent of a Shepard/husky mix that came to me as a rescue lacking confidence and in constant servival mode, through this experience I have learnt cues of stress and discomfort and how to help mitigate the fear and build the trust between human and dog. Having such a high energy dog I am happy to walk in all weather conditions and play both inside and out. I currently work two days a week from home and have availability on lunches, evenings and weekends to schedule pet care. I do have flexibility in hours and days. Dogs will never be brought around other clients dogs or my own, their time will be strictly dedicated to them. If you do not have a fenced yard, your pet will not be off leash, but they will not miss out on any excitement.
“My little chihuahua is very nervous and sometimes mean to strangers, but he took to Reba instantly thanks to her calm nature and patience. He had a great cuddle with her and is excited to see her again.”
About: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, earning their trust to care for their beloved animals. I spent a month living with my sister’s Mini Pinscher and Bedlington Terrier, gaining experience managing their high-energy routines, including daily walks and consistent feeding schedules. I had experience in a year-long boarding of a tabby cat for a friend, mastering feline care and basic grooming. I can’t wait to meet more furry friends and give them the love and attention they deserve! I provide services in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and those secret languages only the little cuties understand. I work from home two days a week and am usually home during weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. Walks, play sessions and cuddles could be tailored to your needs. While I have more availability on these days, I’m also happy to accommodate weekday requests to meet your schedule. I closely follow any feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide to ensure continuity in their care. I’m more than happy to provide updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. For cat boarding, I'm living in a house with a fenced yard by myself. The house is quiet all the time. For house sitting, I'll treat your place with respect, ensuring everything is left clean and tidy.
About: In addition to 20+ years of animal care experience in my own home, I currently work as a veterinary assistant for an animal hospital, where I am responsible for assisting in monitoring dogs before/ during/ after medical procedures, as well as providing animal husbandry for short and extended stays. I feel comfortable handling any companion animal regardless of species, age, health status or temperament, and am happy to administer medications and follow specific feeding/ bathing routines. My personal experience includes caring for the 4 cats I currently live with, and extends to dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, birds, and reptiles that I have owned/ baby sat in the past. My current schedule allows for both a morning and evening check-in with your pet(s), and I will have time to visit either early or late afternoon depending on my work schedule (I will know this in advance so we can discuss while scheduling a visit). If scheduled for an overnight stay, I will be gone from your house no more than 8 hours at a time on weekdays, and will carve out my whole weekend to spend quality time with your critters! My primary goal when pet sitting is to ensure that your animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'll make note of everything included in your typical routine and will accommodate my schedule around this as much as possible. During our meet and greet, I'm happy to go over my proposed care schedule so that you feel certain that your pets are getting everything they need. This includes but is not limited to feedings, walks, grooming, medications, and enrichment. I also love to provide consistent updates and photos throughout my visit!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newmarket
I was very impressed by the level of Yujie's professionalism and responsibility. I feel very lucky that I found such a wonderful sitter for my cat. Our vacation was smooth and relaxing because we knew that our boy is in a good hands. No doubt I will use Yujie's help in the future.
Deborah has looked after our cat Checkers multiple times now, and we always feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. She’s incredibly kind, reliable and genuinely cares about him. She keeps us updated while we’re away and gives him lots of love and attention. Checkers is always happy and well cared for when we get home. We’re so grateful to have found Deborah and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets! ❤️
Cheryll N was wonderful! She walked and checked in on my dog twice, once in the evening and again in the morning, and I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures after each visit along with detailed updates about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. Cheryll N was reliable, caring, and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. 🐾❤️
Somayeh was amazing with Luc and Lucy! She was so caring, reliable, and attentive, and kept us updated while checking in on them. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely book with Somayeh again! Highly recommend! ❤️
We were VERY happy with the excellent service Stephanie provided and the peace of mind she gave us, during the 4 days we were away. She was patient and kind with our 3 cats and tried to learn each of their quirky personalities! She even managed to get our ghost cat, Casper, to come out from his hiding on the 3rd day; something no other cat sitter had been able to do before. Totally recommend Stephanie and would use her services again in the future.
My cats just love Isabel and Matthew. They usually aren’t very social with people but I got photos of them interacting with Isabel and Matthew every day. Drop ins were punctual and I always got photos and updates. They were willing to drag the trash to the curb- which was super helpful since I was gone for a while. When my neighbor had an emergency and needed something from my shed- they grabbed it for her. I knew my cats- and home- were in good hands. This is the second time they have done drop in visits with my cats - I would hire them again.
Sofia always makes my trips stress-free because I know my boys are in the best hands. She genuinely cares for them, treats them like her own, and always makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who loves and cares for them as much as I do. My dogs are always excited to see her, and I couldn’t recommend Sofia more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Laura was amazing. Very attentive to our cat and treated him like family. Mikko is a shy boy but he opened up to her right away. Laura provide great feedback and took excellent photos. We felt at ease with Laura watching our boy. Will definitely be using Laura again when we go out of town. Thanks again!
