“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“Niko had a blast and Margaret was fantastic. Very understanding (Niko can be a lot of energy to deal with and is a big pup). Pictures the whole time we were gone, and very convenient with drop offs and pick ups. Will absolutely do again!”
“Mark, Evangeline and their family couldn't have done more to take care of our little dog. Their communication was wonderful and our dog was very happy in their care. I would highly recommend this family to look after your pet!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this! I am extremely impressed, I was updated very frequently on how my pup was doing with pictures and videos, Ben also took Link on lots of walks and made sure he had plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, he really treated my pup like he was one of his own! I’ll definitely be booking again in the future and I 100% recommend booking with Ben! :)”
“It was our first time using Rover to board our dog, Gimli. Shawna and Chris were amazing hosts, extremely considerate and flexible. After we booked Gimli’s stay, they received a request to board an additional dog and Shawna was extremely considerate and arranged for a meet and greet between the dogs before accepting the additional dog. They also sent daily updates with several pictures to show how much fun Gimli had. He honestly seemed a bit sad to be going home after such a fun week! Thank you!”
“Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Kara was amazing! She sent photos every day of my dog and Oswald just loved her! She took care of him when he got an upset stomach and was so kind and generous 10/10 would contact again!!”
“Rain was lovely to deal with and took wonderful care of Ellie! Rain accommodated Ellie however she could, checked in with me and sent lots of pictures! Ellie was happy when I picked her up and I could tell she enjoyed her stay! We will definitely be going back!”
“Ash and Abhi were really amazing with cooper they were sending constant updates and taking care of him like their own baby. They considered my special request to pick him up and drop him home. They were very keen on listening to his schedule what kind of a dog he is. And what he likes. They were also so quick in replying to my messages. I was very worried as he is with someone else for the first time but cooper was way too comfortable with these people. I would say i feel comfortable now. Thankyou so much for taking care of my baby and i totally recommend them for anyone.”
“Cooper loved his time with Renita. She is so caring and I felt really comfortable leaving him for the evening! She also sends a lot of updates throughout the day in which I really enjoyed! I will defenitely be using her again soon!!”
“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”
“Greer was absolutely amazing with our dog, Beau! She looked after him while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the updates and photos that Beau had the best time—he was so happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he was in such great hands let us fully enjoy our weekend away. We would absolutely trust Greer with Beau again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Greer!”
“It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️”
“Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).”

“Autumn was great! She’s very responsible and provided my kitty with great care. I could always contact her with questions and she always provided me with sweet pictures of my little guy each visit.

“Kelsey did a great job feeding and walking our dog while we were away. It was a bit complex because our dog was in our RV in an RV park, but she figured it all out. She was on time, sent photos, and everything was tidy when we returned. I'd definitely recommend her.”
“Cheryl took great care of our kitties while we spent a week away, we came home to very happy fur balls, and the house even tidier than we left! She sent lots of photos and went above and beyond the instructions that were left”

I’m confident in maintaining consistent feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral or topical medications, and providing enrichment through play.
“Emily once again took great care of our feline friend over the weekend. Excellent communication, lots of photos, and super professional. Thanks again for giving us such peace of mind and providing our cat with terrific care!”
About: I’ve always loved cats! I’ve had three of my own furry friends who saw no shortage of pets and treats. I have been a reliable cat-sitter, exceeding the expectations of their owners, feeding them on a specialized schedule, cleaning their litter box, and making them feel safe and comfortable under my care.
“I was away for a couple of weeks and needed someone to help taking care of my cat. Jesalah is so great with him. Communication was clear and prompt. Definitely recommend her service!”
“Kris went above and beyond for my cat Lucy! Lucy has some medical needs, and sometimes I get nervous to leave her with others. Meeting with Kris reassured me that she knows her stuff (shes also a vet assistant) and her daily updates meant I could vacation stress free.”
About: I've had cats and felt a special connection with animals since I was a little kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while they are out of town. I've also been on Trusted Housesitters for more than a year taking care of people's pets.
“Alexandra was awesome with the cats and took great care of my vegetables garden as well. This is the second time that Alexandra looked after the cats and I would highly recommend her. I would definitely get her in again.”

“Greer was very sweet and took great care of Fluff. She provided us with many updates. I don't think Fluffy even knew we were gone. He made himself right at home lol. I would definitely book with Greer again. She was amazing and we were very grateful to have Fluff in such considerate hands.”
About: We've recently had to say goodbye to our adored 16 year old Miniature Dachshund and our family of four is seeking to share our home and love with other dogs. I am available to care for your dog during the day as I am not working and our two older children are in school. I am often not away from the house for more than 1 -2 hours at a time and I love spending time outdoors. We live in a pet friendly neighbourhood with sidewalks and easy access to both paved and wooded paths near the lake for lots of walks. While our backyards is not fully fenced, we do have a walkout deck and private grassy and wooded area for play and supervised breaks. We have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I would be excited to learn more about your pet and can tailor my care for their unique needs. I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can provide undivided attention to your pup during the day and we can offer lots of attention and play given all family members are dog lovers. Typically, someone is always home and if not, we're only away for 1-2 hours at a time. Your pet will have access to our entire house; however, we also have secure gates available should you wish to resist to the main level. We also have a pet stroller should your dog have any mobility issues.
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
About: I’ve loved animals from a young age and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including a puppy, several cats, and even fish both as a child and as an adult. This has helped me understand the different needs and behaviors of animals—from energetic dogs to independent cats and the consistency required for maintaining a healthy aquarium. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce basic routines, and I’m equally comfortable with cats, respecting their space while still giving them attention and care. My experience with fish has also made me detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, cleanliness, and maintaining a stable environment—skills that carry over into all types of pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine closely. I also keep owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, walks, playtime, and general care, so pets receive consistent attention and are never rushed. I’m comfortable incorporating morning and evening routines, as well as check-ins during the day if needed. Whether it’s taking dogs out for walks, spending time playing, or ensuring cats and other pets are fed and comfortable, I make sure their routine is followed closely. I treat pet care as an important and enjoyable part of my routine, not just an extra task. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for. I make sure they have a dedicated space to rest, access to fresh water, and a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and relaxation. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and attention. For cats, I ensure a quiet, comfortable space while also giving them interaction on their terms. I’m also experienced in caring for fish, maintaining feeding schedules and a clean, stable environment. Pets are always supervised, and I focus on creating a stress-free atmosphere where they feel safe and at ease. I keep the home clean and organized and provide updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. Overall, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout their stay.
About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own 5 year old Cavapoo, as well as regularly watching friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention and care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of company, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment close to several great parks and walking spots. With a little dog of my own, I know all the best places nearby for walks, playtime, and getting some fresh air. Your pup will have a comfortable, dog-friendly home base with plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore!
“Trish has watched my Pug/ Jack Russel “ Edgar “ many times now and I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful trustworthy person to leave him with! Trish updates me throughout the day with photos and info about how the day is going. Edgar absolutely loves hanging out with her dog Stella to the point when it’s time for me to take Edgar home he whines pulling back towards Trish and Stella ! Couldn’t ask for better care. Thanks 😊💕”
“Sarah was excellent with our two pups. We were coming in from out of town for the day so couldn’t arrange a meet and greet in advance. Sarah asked all the right questions and our dogs were well cared for all day, and she even graciously accommodated a last minute request to extend their stay. An excellent dog sitter for anyone in Halifax. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
About: LGBTQ+ Safe 🥰 I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I had been a Registered Veterinary Technician for 8 years before retiring in 2026 but had branched into my real interest, behaviour in 2022 by starting my own company and focusing on helping owners with their reactive and fearful dogs. I have worked in general practices and emergency medicine so your pet couldn't be in safer hands while with me. My big interests for breeds are German Shepherd Dogs, Dobermans, Malinois, Border Collies, essentially any working or high drive dogs. I've raised Bulldogs, Am Staff's, Rotties and German Shepherds through my life but working on the veterinary side I've worked with everything big and small. I love giant breeds, I've handled everything up to 180 lbs at this point. Though my current dog is a hound mix so I have begun to fall in love with those types of personalities and I do desire a Wire Fox Terrier later in life. I love advocating not only for fearful/anxious dogs but also small breeds who's behaviours are often ignored. My current dog is a rehome to me after biting the baby sitter in his initial home a few weeks after coming to Canada. Since being with me he has a fantastic support system from our primary care vet, our veterinary behaviour consultant, other local dog trainers, and a rehab/fitness specialist to not only manage his chronic pain but his medical management. He is currently on medications but has thrived in training since being with me, he has not been a bite risk while in my care. He loves humans more than anything, wanting to give you kisses and crawl into your skin if you allow him. He loves his dog friends as well, we spend lots of time hiking off leash with other dogs and training with them. Because of this he is also my demo dog for showing other dogs how to be comfortable and confident in the world while also showing things are possible to stressed owners that were where Memphis was in January 2025. My company is Canine Stability and I offer Dog Training, Dangerous Dog Assessments, Behavioural Rehabilitation for dogs with bite histories and severe anxiety and more. I love to focus on reactive and fearful dogs but please check out my Instagram to learn more! Currently my full-time job is my own business so am home during the day while having training sessions in the evenings and weekends. This is why I am now offering boarding for the work day. I am very vigilant about closed doors and gates. My backyard is fully fenced in but dogs are still not left unattended outside or when together. I believe in keeping arousal/stimulation fairly low, we are allowed to play but nothing crazy to avoid miscommunications between dogs and injuries. This doesn't mean they don't get to have structured play, access to a dig pit or other fun games and enrichment during their stay. Being calm and quiet helps with them being more calm and relaxed with the interactions given I am a new face usually. I am always hyper aware on walks or when out of the house with pets, I don't allow strangers to approach or unknown off leash dogs out of utmost precaution. I don't like or go to dog parks for the same reason, just to he on the safe side with unknown dogs/people. I prefer 2 attachments to dogs coming to my home. So I do prefer a collar and harness to be on the dog at time of drop off. Harnesses come off when inside but collars do not as they still stay under my direct supervision.
“We could not have been happier with our experience with Daryl! Willie was happy as he could be and I know he received tons of snuggles and had the best day with Daryl. Thank you so much for making our boy feel comfy and safe!”
“Jessica was great with Roxie. She got exercise and I felt comfortable leaving her there due to Jessica’s knowledge of dog behaviour. We will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle! 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who has always loved animals. I’m a mom, and my home is a warm, busy, family-oriented environment. I’m hoping to offer pet sitting as a way to earn some extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience caring for animals and understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would want someone to give my own. Because I have a young child at home, I do need pets staying in my home to be comfortable and safe around children. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality, routines, energy level, and any quirks or special needs ahead of time to make sure we’re a good fit. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photos and let you know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and see if I can be the right person to care for them! 🐶🐱❤️ Danielle Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a mom and spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide pets with regular attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m looking to take on a manageable number of pets so that each animal gets individual attention rather than feeling like they’re simply being left in a busy group. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and bathroom schedule and keep their routine as consistent as possible while their owners are away. In my home, pets would be treated as part of the family and would have plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and opportunities to go outside. Because I have a child, I only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around children. For client visits or care in the owner’s home, I’m respectful of the pet’s familiar environment and routines. I follow the instructions provided by the owner for feeding, walks, medication, bathroom breaks, and any other specific needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing.
About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: I have been fostering and taking care of dogs for over ten years and have lots of experience with puppies through to seniors. I am in a pet friendly apartment with a lot of beautiful spaces for outdoor time and lots of parks nearby for us to walk to. My space is clean and uncluttered so nothing for pups to get into, and I love a good snuggle on the couch or at night with the pups. I recently lost my senior border collie. I have experience crate training puppies and have also done puppy training and obedience classes. I work from home so I’m available for lots of pee breaks and play sessions. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I work remotely with a flexible schedule so can easily accommodate your pups needs. I am an early riser and love getting outside early in the mornings! I care for your dogs in the same way I do mine - lots of attention, lots of love and activity. I have crate trained puppies and am used to lots of different types of dogs.
About: I have had dogs all my life. My last two dogs were rescues that moved three countries with me and were my world. I cared for them from puppies through their golden years. Experienced at dog walking and giving medication and a safe place for your pet to sleep. Have taken care of others dogs in my home while their owners are away as dogs deserve a vacation too, filled with walks in the park to play with other dogs, tail wags, and snuggles at home. From October I shall be working a hybrid job with 3 days in the office and two at home. Depending on the care you are looking for, your dog(s) will be walked in the morning and the evening and for those days I am working at home, there will be extra playtime midday. If you are looking for a long weekend away, I am happy to discuss shifting my schedule (given enough notice) to make sure that a long weekend away works for both you and your pet(s). I provide pet sitting/boarding within my home with meals and walks provided and a safe place for your dog to lay their head. If you are local, I am also happy to provide dog walking services.
“We were visiting Nova Scotia from NE Ohio. We were staying in Amherst Shore but visiting the Halifax area and Peggy’s Cove for a day. We couldn’t leave the pup in the camper for that long but needed somewhere for him for a few hours while we went to the Maritime museum. Everything worked out perfectly from drop off to pick up. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Emily and he seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked him up. If we are ever back in the area would definitely consider leaving him with her again.”

“Autumn is simply fantastic with our dogs. They scare some people when they first meet, but she wasn't tricked by them, and now they love her. She communicates great for any timing changes and is always quick to reply.”
About: My sister said that if she reincarnates she wants to come back as an animal in my care. I thanked her, promising she would be my favorite. I am comfortable and capable with large barnyard animals to the smallest of household pets. I have been an animal lover and caregiver for my entire life. Now that I am retired, I am thrilled to devote my time to being with animals. I enjoy caring for them in their own home. And I have a secure fenced backyard for doggy guests. I am able to stay with them for added security and attention. I've been a hobby farm owner, worked on a farm, have had the joy of loving many animals. Walks and chores and quiet times are aspects I really enjoy. I feel I have a connection with animals and have a calm spirit that soothes them when needed. I am retired. So my weekdays and weekends are available. I can housesit or just visit depending on the location. I have a completely and securely fenced backyard. So I can offer doggy guests safety and worry-free play time. Lots of shade or sunny spots, a small wading pool for water lovers and even a good spot to dig in the dirt. I have no pets of my own at this time. I am a non-smoker and dedicated to providing the best care for beloved pets. I have reliable transportation. I am very fit and love taking pets for walks , playing in backyards or resting and relaxing with senior pets. For doggy daycare clients, I offer a securely fenced back yard and worry-free indoor space. My attention is all for my guest when they are here. I am home full time and enjoy playtime with my guests. I am comfortable giving medications. I am capable of barnyard chores and large animal care.
“Highly recommend! Very friendly, responsive and reliable. Couldn’t be happier to find a walker for my girls, will book again when needed! Thanks again Taylor for taking good care of them!”
“Was able to help last minute walk for my dog Nova! Very much appreciated, and was nice that she already had a previous stay with my fur babies, and they loved her; She took great care of them and my place! Highly recommend”
About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. For winter walks, I follow a safety-first policy. If sidewalks are icy, there is freezing rain/sleet, or conditions are unsafe for walking, I may need to cancel or reschedule. I’ll always give as much notice as possible.
About: My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.
About: We had several dogs when I was growing up. I fostered a dog for about six months a couple years ago - I can’t have a dog in my place but I love playing and snuggling with them! I currently work close to home and am free before or after my 8-4 workdays. I have relatively full availability on the weekends as well! I will work with the guidance and guidelines of the client’s - I am communicative and understand that the pet’s caregiver knows the pet’s needs!
“Miranda was fantastic. She was very accommodating with some specific timings I needed my dog walked at and she was always willing to go above and beyond by letting me know when she was with her. She was prompt with communication and made this process easy. I highly recommend her to be involved in your pets lives!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life from puppies to seniors to rescues. I have experience with all different types of personalities and preferences. I take the time to get to know your fur babies to provide care as close to what you would provide to them as I can. I work downtown so I am able to drop in on my lunch to check in or walk. I am also availability for pet sitting. I will take the time to review all your pets needs and ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable trusting your pet with me as I know it can be hard to leave them with someone else.
About: I've grown up around pets and have looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbours. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and sticking to any routines they have. I think what sets me apart is that I'm really patient and attentive, and I genuinely love animals, so I treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 🐾💕 I do most of my schoolwork from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home during the day. That makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine, whether that's walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or just keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m super respectful and trained with animals! I’m open to all kinds of care and experienced in each that I offer. I’m so excited to get to know your pet.
“Greer has been walking Scamp for a while now and she has been amazing!! Always on time and leaves us a rover card with his walk route, pictures, and number of pees/poops. When it was too hot for her to complete an hour walk she came back the next day to make up the time which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”
About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.
About: I take pets of any age, species and size! I love to train and groom, also have extensive veterinary knowledge and am fear free and pet first aid certified. I would love more pets to look after! (I can provide nail trims and some grooming services free of charge with booking 🩷 🐾 ) I’m usually free throughout the week and my work is client based so I don’t have a set schedule. Your pets are your family and I will do whatever I can to be there for them at all times! I have 2 senior dogs currently who require a close eye for their own safety so I am used to watching over them all the time. I can meet whatever food, medication and outing rules you have for your pets and can provide grooming for them as well
“Emily was great walking Austin for a couple of evenings when we were tied up. She was quick to respond to our last minute request. She was very punctual and Austin had great walks with her. Thanks Emily!”

“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“Niko had a blast and Margaret was fantastic. Very understanding (Niko can be a lot of energy to deal with and is a big pup). Pictures the whole time we were gone, and very convenient with drop offs and pick ups. Will absolutely do again!”
“Mark, Evangeline and their family couldn't have done more to take care of our little dog. Their communication was wonderful and our dog was very happy in their care. I would highly recommend this family to look after your pet!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this! I am extremely impressed, I was updated very frequently on how my pup was doing with pictures and videos, Ben also took Link on lots of walks and made sure he had plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, he really treated my pup like he was one of his own! I’ll definitely be booking again in the future and I 100% recommend booking with Ben! :)”
“Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Cooper loved his time with Renita. She is so caring and I felt really comfortable leaving him for the evening! She also sends a lot of updates throughout the day in which I really enjoyed! I will defenitely be using her again soon!!”
“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”
“Greer was absolutely amazing with our dog, Beau! She looked after him while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the updates and photos that Beau had the best time—he was so happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he was in such great hands let us fully enjoy our weekend away. We would absolutely trust Greer with Beau again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Greer!”
“It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️”
“Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).”
About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Gigi was super sweet and took amazing care of Pepita! She sent pictures and updates every day, and took her on some fun adventures. I’m super grateful to her for taking such good care of my puppy. I will definitely rebook with her in the future! 💙☺️”
“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”
