About: 🐾 Welcome! I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and have cared for them since I was a child. As a true dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building a connection with them. They bring so much happiness into my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I have a 3-year-old dog named Neo and 11 months old pup named Theo, they are friendly, playful, and loving pups. They enjoy meeting other dogs and would be happy to have some furry friends to spend time with. We provide a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where your dog can feel comfortable, relaxed, and part of the family. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well looked after. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I am committed to giving pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and I will treat your furry family member with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Our home provides a safe, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. We maintain a consistent routine, provide close supervision, and ensure every dog receives plenty of exercise, affection, and care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their dog is safe, happy, and treated like part of the family while they’re away.

About: I’ve had pets in my family my whole life. I’ve had many cats over the years and I’ve had a Lab for over 8 years that I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding, dog walking and in-home visits. I have a big backyard where your pups can stretch their legs. I am familiar with crating as I crate trained my dog when he was a pup. I can and enjoy providing updates with pictures to pet owners!

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.

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.

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.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Victoria! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly responsive, communicative, and professional, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, everything was spotless—she went above and beyond by keeping the house clean, taking out the garbage, changing the litterbox. Most importantly, Ricky was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. Thank you Victoria!!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve cared for cats, hamsters, parrots, and a guinea pig, and have occasionally helped with a friend’s dog. I’m confident in providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, and giving lots of attention to keep pets happy. Whether furry, feathered, or small, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently stay at home with a flexible schedule, caring for my children and managing household tasks. This allows me plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, and play throughout the day, including weekdays and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and clean environment. While my backyard is not fenced, it is completely safe and offers plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are happy, secure, and comfortable.

“My pups loved Marleigh! They looked forward up her coming every day to take them on a walk. She was very professional, reliable, and gentle with our two Labradors. She even toweled them off on a rainy day which I hadn’t planned for and made sure they had lots of water. We cant wait to have her back again!”

“It was the first time leaving our high-energy rescue dog with someone other than family or friends who stayed at our house and I had a lot of anxiety about leaving her for two whole weeks while out of the country. But Tasha made me feel very comfortable, listened to all my crazy dog-mom anxiety ridden instructions and assured me my girl would be ok. She provided regular updates and photos which were appreciated so much and really made me feel better seeing how happy she was in our absence. Would definitely recommend Tasha, she’s great!”
