I would definitely recommend Rayna to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about your unique pet!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor, a lifelong dog lover offering reliable and affordable pet care.

About: I grew up in a home that always had a dog, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of my life. I’ve regularly watched family and neighbours’ dogs and have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, including dogs who are not social with other dogs. I’m comfortable providing one-on-one care and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since we are a family with children, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and good with kids. We’re a very active and loving family who enjoys getting outside, especially going for walks. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ll treat your pup like part of our family while they’re in our care. I work from home two days a week, which gives me the flexibility to be home for much of the day and provide regular attention and care. On the days I’m working outside the home, I’m able to stop home for pee breaks and check-ins. I understand that every pup has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to create a schedule that works best for you and your dog. Whether your pup needs extra potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where your dog can enjoy some fresh air and playtime in a safe environment. We currently don’t have any pets at home. We are still mending our hearts after the recent passing of our beloved dog, who was a very special part of our family. Because of this, we understand just how much your furry family member mean to us. Our home includes our loving 6 year old boy, so visiting dogs must be comfortable and good with children. We’re happy to accommodate your pup’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and at home while they’re with us. For overnight stays, sleeping in a crate is preferred, as we want to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for everyone. Most importantly, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while they’re here.
“Maggie took care of our Australian shepherd, Jersey, while we were out of town on vacation. She was so kind and took such good care of our girl, bringing her for walks frequently, Sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been providing dog sitting services for some time now and decided to extend services through Rover in February 2026. I am an huge animal lover, adore nature and just want to give families the peace of mind when going away that I would want for my dogs. I have owned many dogs and have fostered too many to count. I was president of a rescue group for 10 years, 25 years volunteering with rescue groups and have extensive experience with small and large dogs, I have completed multiple obedience courses and have a strong knowledge of basic dog obedience and training. Dogs are a huge part of my life. I have regular clients I walk and that I provide pet sitting for in my home. I love to walk, hike, and jog. I build regular daily outdoor activity into my schedule and understand the importance of consistency for dogs. I am also flexible and can adjust to the needs of a dog when needed and I want to provide them with a place they can be content while their owner is away. Each dog is unique and I support a daily/weekly plan that supports their uniqueness. In order to get to know the needs and routines of all the dogs I care for, I ask each owner to complete a questionnaire outlining all I would need to know while caring for their dog. I treat each dog like my own and they are fully integrated into all aspects of our household. Regular interaction, belly rubs and treats (with owner permission) are daily occurrences.
“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter!! I would definitely recommend him. He is very reliable and always willing to keep us updated with pictures and messages about our little ones. He made it easier for us to enjoy our vacation .”

“Our dog had a wonderful experience with Vincent and his wife. He was walked daily and received a lot of love and attention from these true pet lovers. I was nervous leaving him at first but Vincent sent daily texts and pictures which reassured us of the quality care he received. We would 100% use Vincent again and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I have been responsible for basic care and training since age 12. I am primarily used to small or medium sized dogs, and have a ton of experience with senior dogs. If your furbaby needs special care, I'm happy to provide it. I'm not working currently, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furbabies. I like to keep a routine, so my days mostly look the same unless I have a doctor's appointment to attend. I like to do a light walk every day and they are welcome to join. I'm available to board any day of the week. I don't have a fenced yard but I do have plenty of grassy space for your furbaby do their business while leashed. I live alone and I love pets, but I recently lost my last furbaby, so my home is empty. I'd love to give your furbaby the attention and care they deserve! There is plenty of space for a crate if needed.

“I was a little nervous with this process as its new to me but Katrina was welcoming and friendly and made me feel alot more comfortable. Eevee had a great day and lots of snuggles which is her preferred way to spend the day when she's not home chasing my children. I really appreciated the photo updates as well.”

“I was very pleased with Denise and Gary as they treated Winston as their own, Winston stayed there for three afternoons from 1 until 7, the first day he was a bit unsure of me leaving, on the third day he arrived with his tail wagging so I knew he was comfortable staying there, overall I think is was a good choice picking Denise and Gary to look after Winston and would recommend their place.”

“Melanie quickly put me at ease leaving my pooch with a stranger in an unfamiliar town. She warmly greeted me and Nat at the door and her warmth and love of dogs was instantly apparent. She kept me updated with texts and photos throughout the day. My dog is very “chill” and it was obvious she was very comfortable with Melanie. Would definitely use her again.”

“We left Piper for the day while we headed out exploring. Lori was very good with Piper and she got along well with their dogs and their foster dogs. A great experience for Piper. I would definitely recommend them.”

About: I have a Westie and a Gordon Setter. Both love other dogs. Everything I do revolves around them. I have had much experience having other dogs in my home. Our little family is welcoming, quiet and happy. We have hosted larger and smaller breeds. I have a fenced backyard which also offers some freedom to our furry friends. My own dogs are very well behaved and friendly. They love other dogs and even some people ;-) I currently work from home so my schedule offers me a lot of free time. I always make our guests part of the family. They have full run of the house. I always say this is like going to Grandmas, the rules are very flexible and cuddles are a must! Pets are my priority. Most people who know me know that my life revolves around them. My usual excuse is “I can’t, I have dogs to get home to”. And I’m perfectly happy with that. I believe that their lives are so short already, they deserve to have as much of our attention and love as possible.
About: Have house trained my daughters and son’s puppies. I dog sit for my son when he goes on his many trips and continue to check in on my daughter’s dog while she’s at work. Will Allow Pets On Bed Depending On Size I am retired and bored at home. I can spend all day every day with your pup. I love going for walks so it would be great to have a buddy. I have a fenced yard . I live on a very quiet cul de sac ,no pets of our own ,cat and dog passed away a few years ago
About: I have a lifetime of experience when it comes to dogs and have grown up around them my whole life. I was raised by parents that worked with animals and learned a lot about how to care and connect with them. Iam able to administer medications and attend to dogs of any age including puppies. When my husband and I got a dog of our own for the first time our hearts became even more full with love for animals Wich is something I didn’t think possible. Being a dog mom to a loving happy and goofy dog like Bodhi has changed my life. He is truly the heart of our home and caring for him is so fulfilling. Welcoming your dog in our home will just be another incredible addition where we can share our love for animals and care for them like they are our own. I am an artist currently working from home so I am incredibly flexible when it comes to dog care. I have tons of time for play and walks and cuddles so your pet will get lots of attention. On weekends my husband and I go hiking when the weather is good and love to take Bodhi for the nature and exercise, we love to be outside. I live in a great ground floor condo with a walkout porch and a front lawn, right next to me there is a yard with a fence separating us from any traffic or stores. There is lots of room for play and fun and makes potty breaks convenient and easy :) My neighbours are all dog lovers as well and welcome all new furry friends with loving arms. I live only 2 minutes away from Bowring park and go there everyday for a huge walk with Bodhi living close is such a blessing cause he loves the park. As most dogs do, it’s a great place to walk them and let them explore. So you can count on your dog getting a nice big walk in during the day :) Bodhi is a super loving and playful dog who loves other dogs and playing so you know your dog will have a best friend when they stay with us. Dogs are welcome in the bed, on the couch and anywhere in our home. They are family and are treated as such :)

Most importantly, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while they’re here.
About: I have been providing dog sitting services for some time now and decided to extend services through Rover in February 2026. I am an huge animal lover, adore nature and just want to give families the peace of mind when going away that I would want for my dogs. I have owned many dogs and have fostered too many to count. I was president of a rescue group for 10 years, 25 years volunteering with rescue groups and have extensive experience with small and large dogs, I have completed multiple obedience courses and have a strong knowledge of basic dog obedience and training. Dogs are a huge part of my life. I have regular clients I walk and that I provide pet sitting for in my home. I love to walk, hike, and jog. I build regular daily outdoor activity into my schedule and understand the importance of consistency for dogs. I am also flexible and can adjust to the needs of a dog when needed and I want to provide them with a place they can be content while their owner is away. Each dog is unique and I support a daily/weekly plan that supports their uniqueness. In order to get to know the needs and routines of all the dogs I care for, I ask each owner to complete a questionnaire outlining all I would need to know while caring for their dog. I treat each dog like my own and they are fully integrated into all aspects of our household. Regular interaction, belly rubs and treats (with owner permission) are daily occurrences.
