“I am beyond grateful for finding Ben! I was very nervous using Rover for the first time but after this weekend it won’t be our last! I’m pretty sure Ben and their fur babies gave Ruby Jo an all inclusive vacation and I’m hoping she’s not sad to leave them!! Ben kept us updated all weekend and sent us LOTs of pictures and videos. Thanks for being so good to our baby girl!!!!! I would leave you more than 5 stars if I could :)”
“We didn't know that when we left our dog with Audrey, he would be having his own adventures with her and her dogs. We were so happy we chose Audrey and were able to vacation worry free. We received regular updates, photos and even a few videos. Audrey's space was perfect for our dog who loves to be outdoors.”

We were able to come for a meet and greet first to make sure Buddy would be comfortable and interact well with her family. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we felt very safe leaving him with her and her family. 10/10 would return and recommend to anyone looking for quality pet care in the area.”

Her two dogs are very friendly and accepting as well. They seemed to have welcomed Skipper into their pack. I would highly recommend Victoria.”

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.
“Marisa watched Ellie for me very last minute over night. I was nervous about leaving Ellie but Marisa made Ellie and I feel very comfortable. Ellie was very happy and looked really content in the lovely photo’s and updates Marisa provided while Ellie was in her care. When I picked Ellie up she was very happy and grounded. Your pup will enjoy their stay at this loving, kind home and you will have a feeling of confidence when you drop your pup off and meet Marisa. I will use Marisa again without hesitation and I would recommend Marisa 110%.”
“I can’t thank Giulia enough for the wonderful care she provided for my pup!! She went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s needs were met and made sure she was comfortable and loved. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday without a worry because my dog was in such good hands. Giulia’s communication was great and she kept me updated which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. :)”

“Jessica was great, she took time ahead of my trip to come for a meet and greet visit so that my cat Sophie wasn’t having someone she’d never seen before come in while I was away. She made the effort to win my shy Sophie over, gave her treats, chin rubs and even a brush on top of making sure her food and water was filled, litter checked and sending me updates/pictures from each visit. 100% will go to her again in future for when I have extended trips out of town.”

About: I love to work with dogs and have many years experience doing training. I am a force free handler and believe in reward based methods. I can continue any training for walks and household manners to help with consistency. My pup Otis is reactive and very insecure, I have a lot of patience and knowledge when it comes to walking reactive dogs, helping them build confidence and giving them lots of time to sniff, which helps them relax when they are feeling anxious. I have had 5 cats over the past 22 years, two with diabetes that required insulin and blood sugar monitoring. Cats are my jam and I know all the right scratch spots. Things I can help your dog with Crate training Muzzle training Simple tricks Place Self control Desensitization When I walk dogs I focus mostly on the sniff aspect, it is the most enriching part of the walk and burns a lot more energy then walking, we will find all the best sniff spots and explore with our noses. I have a good understanding of dog behavior, I do my best to read their body language to understand their comfort level. If you have a reactive dog, I can help! Please note - I do not offer over night stays, if you need full day of care please select house sitting. Feel free to use this promo code to save $20 on your first booking DANNYB41392 Payment information: Rover fees are 20% I receive 80% of booking cost + 100% of any tips. Please reach out if you have any questions :) I am working part time and my schedule changes weekly 1-2 shifts during week days. I will require at least 3 hours notice for cancellations. My house has a lot of structure, and low stress vibe. Balanced energy and clear expectations help a dog to be at peace and help with anxiety and insecurities. Depending on the animals needs I try to find enriching activities that will offer the highest reward, my pup loves to sniff so we do scent work and food scattering in the back yard.
“Claire is so great with Sunny! She tailors Sunny’s walks to meet her slow pace and lets her take in all the sniffs (Sunny’s favourite part of a walk). Claire is beyond kind, caring and flexible. She truly loves all the pets she looks after. Everyone in my neighborhood knows Claire and always comments what a great companion for Sunny during the day when I have to leave her for a long period of time.”

About: Being around dogs comes naturally to me as my family always kept family dogs as well as fostered. I am familiar and comfortable with a variety of large breed dogs, including those I've lived with: Aussie, German/Husky mixes, Komondor, Great Pyrs and female am staffs.

At these sessions I was also introduced to first aid measures for dogs, which I hope to never need but I am glad to know. I have a home in Sackville with a very large, fenced yard and am looking for clients in my area. I also like to make healthy dog food toppers and treats in my spare time! I have taken some time off from my full-time job to enjoy my new home and spend more time with Pretzel. I ran a restaurant for five years alongside my mum, and am now savouring some me-time. My schedule is very flexible. I will follow all instructions given for drop-in visits and walks.

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.
“I can’t thank Giulia enough for the wonderful care she provided for my pup!! She went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s needs were met and made sure she was comfortable and loved. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday without a worry because my dog was in such good hands. Giulia’s communication was great and she kept me updated which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. :)”
About: My friends, family and neighbours have trusted me with sitting, feeding, walking and caring for animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. I am currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to spend with your animals!! However I prefer to board on weekends. I do have green space around my home (unfenced) as well as a park very close by so your pups can experience lots of time outside!
“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).”
“Renita and Jerry are wonderful people who clearly love dogs and love taking care of them! We left Joey with them for over a week, which felt like a really long time, but Joey settled in quickly and seemed to really enjoy his stay. He was well cared for, exercised regularly, spoiled and loved, which was totally fine with us! She sent pictures every day of some of the things Joey was up to. This really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and being cared for. We would highly recommend Renita to look after your pup! Thanks Renita!”
“Margaret kept us updated on how Hudson was doing and sent us pictures. He settled in nicely very quickly and got to enjoy lots of fresh air during the day. We would absolutely have Margaret again when we go away.”
