“Shannon is amazing with dogs. Our 9 month year old rough collie took right to her. She understands doggy needs and comforts. Thank you so much Shannon for your excellent care of Butterscotch for 2 weeks.”
“They took great care of Athena for an over night stay, she got plenty of exercise and slept the whole next day at home. Highly recommend Rafe and Carla, they have lots of experience with animals, especially dogs.”
About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.
“I had an amazing experience with Frederic and highly recommend him to everyone. He kept me updated and provided pictures throughout the process. My dogs were completely worn out when I got them back, which makes me happy—I can finally sleep soundly too!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
“We left our home and animals to Jacky while out of province for a week and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. She sent daily updates of our fur babies which included tons of cute photos of them playing outdoors and relaxing indoors. She put our mind at ease knowing they were being well taken care of, not to mention our animals LOVED her! Not only did she take great care of our animals but she made sure our home was well taken care of. She even put the garbage out to the end of the road on garbage day and frequently checked on our sump pump while we were gone- AMAZING. Would 100% book with Jacky again, in a heartbeat ! Thanks Jacky!”

“Brianna is a lovely lady and Cooper certainly loved the belly rubs and company!! I am already booking another appointment soon as the Olympic Qualifiers are on and only happen every 4 years! I loved that she took pics and sent them to me! That's what my kennel does also!”

“Such a wonderful experience with Megan! Leaving our fur babies behind is hard, but Megan completely put our minds at ease. It was so reassuring knowing our cats were in such good hands. We are so grateful for the excellent care they received. The updates and photos she sent were the highlight of our days. We'd book with Megan again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with cats and have had cats for most of my life, giving me many years of hands-on experience with their care and individual personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime and companionship, and following each owner's routine and instructions. My veterinary clinic experience and first-aid training also help me recognize when a cat may need extra attention.
About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, I maintain their grooming and other health needs. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I work shift work as a youth care worker. I have a lot of time during the daytime to check in on, walk, and feed your dogs as needs require. I have a backyard that’s not fenced in with no other pets. I have a couch that we allow the animals to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.

“Peter was wonderful with Ella! It was my first time leaving her with someone she wasn’t familiar with but she took a liking to him very fast and felt comfortable with him! I felt comfortable leaving her with him, he gave me updates throughout the day and was overall a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend him to any pup parent! :)”
About: I have been a dog owner, dog walker and dog sled guide in the past. I love dogs and have training experience too. My schedule is busy but flexible. I work from home and am on Rover as a hobby . I am adventurous and outdoorsy. I like hiking and camping and cycling. I have a vehicle that is great for dogs and I will always follow the owners rules. I am capable of administering medication of any kind. I am happy to work with the owner to find solutions that work for everyone. Since being on Rover I have worked with many different dogs and have had amazing experiences. I have a lovely 6 year old male Australian Shepherd who is high energy but very well trained. For dog sitting, he will be present in the house so compatibility is the most important thing. I believe there are benefits to both dogs in spending time together and settling in the same space. This will be one of the goals we work on together. I generally work from 9:30 to 5:30 and go out most evenings when possible as I am quite busy and social. I typically spend the day at a desk answering phone calls and emails. I live in a home that has a fenced in yard with a couple dog houses that curious pop ups like to explore. the fence is about 6 feet high with no holes.
“Suzie was excellent from start to finish - from booking, doggie daycare, through to collection. We left our pups for the afternoon while we toured Acadia and they couldn’t have been taken care of. One of our girls is usually a little anxious but she warmed to Suzie right away and was so calm when we picked her up, which is saying something. Thank you Suzie!”
“First time leaving our rambunctious dog with anyone and these folks took excellent care of her. She was excited to go back into their home on the second day and slept like a log every night. Lots of mental and physical stimulation for her. Thank you! Will definitely be back.”

I’ve owned many dogs of different sizes and breeds, and I see them as loving, kind-natured pets that deserve the very best care. I have experience with everything from medical needs to caring for new puppies and training, and I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m available anytime. I can help with whatever is needed, including overnight care, visits, and bathroom breaks. I love spending time playing with pets and giving them one-on-one attention, and I always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. All their needs will be fully taken care of, whether that includes medical care, one-on-one attention, feeding routines, or following specific schedules and detailed care instructions.

About: "I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. My calm and nurturing approach helps pets feel comfortable and safe, making me more than just a sitter—I’m a trusted companion for your furry family members. I am a golf professional so between November and April, I have more time to myself and work sparingly. Pet sitting is perfect for me and for you and your pet(s)! We have an animal friendly home that is a stones throw away from a park with plenty of space for your pet to run and roam. There is a sizable sofa, a chair, bed all for them, too. Wooden floors so any messes aren't as troublesome as it would be on carpet.
About: I have been involved with dogs & cats since I was younger. My friends & family have relied on me for dog sitting and walking. And I LOVE it, I can follow a food/walk schedule, and give your best friend all the fun and attention they desire. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I make time each morning and evening for feeding, fresh water, and a quick health check. Walks, playtime, and cleaning (like litter or bedding) are built into my schedule so your pet stays active, comfortable, and well cared for. Weekly, I handle deeper cleaning, brushing, and restocking supplies. I will care for your pet however you need, whenever you need I’m here to help. I am happy to administer medication, walk & play!
