“Melanie did an AMAZING job looking after our two cats and home while we were on vacation for one week. She is kind, courteous, professional, follows instructions to the letter, clearly loves all animals, etc.. We were absolutely thrilled at the job Melanie did to keep our precious kitties – who can be a handful! – safe and cared for while we were so far away. We would, without any hesitation, enlist and entrust Melanie again in the future. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic sitter. My cat is not the friendliest toward new people but Melanie was able to come in and earn his trust and even brought him treats. Will book again in future. :)”


“We are so lucky to have John as our dog walker! He’s incredibly reliable and always professional. Our dog absolutely loves him, and we feel completely at ease knowing our furry friend is in great hands. He’s not just a dog walker, but a genuinely classy and caring person. We couldn’t ask for better care for our dog and highly recommend John to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and awesome. Thank you for everything, John!”

“Yujie was fantastic and we are so thankful to her for checking in on Kit for us! Kit is very shy but she was out and about with Yujie. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Thank you Lisa for not only taking good care of Alexa but also patiently cultivating a friendship with her 😊 Communication with cat parent was grear too! Will definitely book again!”

About: Have had dogs most of my life. Everything from a Chihuahua to a Rottweiller and German Shephard. Have always loved dogs. Look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs. My schedule is quite flexible. I am willing to travel to homes in Aurora, Newmarket and parts of King City. We currently have a rescue from Georgia. We have also rescued a racing Greyhound and a Siberian Husky. Will also apply my dog training experience while walking your dog. We have lived in Newmarket for 3 1/2 years. Prior to that we lived in Richmond Hill. Our previous dogs lived a long time which is a testament to how well we took care of them. Our Rottweiller and Siberian Husky lived to almost 15 years old. I am retired. So my schedule is in my control. I am able to be available for furry friends as needed. Looking forward to new 4 legged friends. When looking after your pet, they will become a part of our family. They will get lots of attention. Have access to our large yard and go multiple walks per day.

“Cheryll did drop in visits and took a great care of our cat while we were away! She ensured Martin had his wet, dry food and fresh water. She gave him lots of ear scratching and petted him to make him happy. Her rover cards provided us with the details of each visit that made us not worrying about our cat while we were on vacation. This was our third time using Cheryll’s help and will definitely use her services in the future again!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Aprisheh during our in-house dog visits. She was incredibly patient and friendly with Emma, taking the time to understand her needs and personality. Emma seemed comfortable and happy, which gave me peace of mind. I’m looking forward to continuing to use her services!”

About: At the age of 8, I got my very first German Shepherd to care for by myself. Ever since then I have fallen in love with every cat, dog, cow, quail, duck and animal I have seen. My main goal in pet sitting, walking or dropping in to see your babies is to make them as comfortable as possible. I do this by maintaining your routines, and providing them with all the care and time that you as a fur parent needs provided. I have experience with young puppies, adult dogs, elderly, special needs, small, large and everything inbetween. In my time caring for pets I have taken on rescues, fosters and I am comfortable providing medication and physical therapy for your babies. I strive to make you as an owner as comfortable as possible while your babies are in my care. As a pet owner myself I know how hard it is to leave your pets in someone else's care, so it is very important to me that I make the fur parents just as happy and comfortable as I make the fur babies! I am available 24/7 for services. I am able to care for any fur (or feathered) friend on your schedule! Fully available for around the clock services. In your home, I am sure to look after your pets the same way you do! I mimic their regular routines so that their days are uninterrupted and they barely notice you aren't home! I keep your house as clean as the minute I walk through your door and provide updates as regularly as you want!
“Quick to reply. Left lots of photos for us. Came over with a notebook during the meet and greet to keep track of what we requested. Pretty seamless. Thanks Cassandra and Rover.”

From the get-go Deborah has given me the impression that she wanted to go well above her calling and wants to ensure that her visits are not only to get the job done, but to provide as much fun and physical activity as possible for my pup in times when I’m away. She’s definitely an animal lover and made me feel extremely confident that I’m leaving my dog in great hands. I would highly recommend Deborah if you are looking for not only a walker, but a friend for your best friend!

John has looked after our 2 dogs once so far but we will book with him again! He was very communicative and sent a bunch of photos and a video which showed that our dogs were very happy to spend time with him. Everything was great! He's very knowledgable about dogs and we trust him to look after our dogs.

Ankita took such great care of my two dogs while popping in for a drop in visit today! We first started with a meet and greet to see if we’d be a good fit and then scheduled a visit. I felt incredibly comfortable with Ankita! She sent me photos and updates about the girls visit. Will book again and refer :)
