Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sydney

“This was my first time using Rover, and it was a very positive experience for both Rosie and myself. I will definitely be bringing Rosie back!”

“We reached out to Heather on short notice she immediately did a meet and greet and we immediately felt at ease after meeting her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We would strongly recommend her. Our little dog was very happy and she looked after our home beautifully.”

About: I am trustworthy and reliable with a love for pets. We spoil our animals and always stop to say hi to pets we meet when out and about. We have a mature well behaved German shepherd/husky mix and a younger orange cat. Growing up with pets and having so many pets in our families have given us diverse understanding of pets and their behaviors. I have volunteered transporting shelter dogs in the past as well. I have some extra time these days and it would be rewarding and fun to help with other folks pets. I’m currently working on some projects for myself so I can make some free time when needed most of the time. Ask and we can hopefully work something out. We have a pet proof home as well as a yard that is surrounded by forest all the way around. Will use a leash always when outdoors.

“Lauren was attentive and prompt with her service. She was on time, gave our cats lots of love, and took care of the things we asked of her to keep our cats happy. I would absolutely recommend her to other Rover users.”

“This was our second time having Niya check on our cats and they once again were very happy to see her. She sent lots of photos and took care of them exactly how we asked. We highly recommend Niya for any pet sit.”

“When I went to pick up my cat I could feel that she was comfortable, Grace was very sweet she was sending me pictures and videos. It was a great experience.”

“We were so nervous about leaving our cat, Mystique, for the first time—especially since she’s usually very shy around new people. But Tera completely put our minds at ease. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and professional. She took the time to really understand Mystique's needs and quirks, which meant so much to us. Tera went above and beyond during every visit. She was incredibly communicative, even going out of her way to send us updates and pictures—despite us having bad cell service and not always being able to respond. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable Mystique became with her! It’s clear Tera has a natural connection with animals and truly cares about their wellbeing. She was also super reliable and thoughtful, even keeping an eye on the weather to make sure she could safely make it to all her appointments with Mystique. That extra level of care and planning did not go unnoticed. We can’t thank Tera enough for making a stressful situation feel so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable, and truly exceptional pet sitter.”

“Katherine is a star! She took great care of my 2 cats for a week. She made my vacation completely stress free; we’ve never left our cats alone. She sent me regular updates and pictures of the cats. Would definitely recommend her if you want your fur babies in excellent hands.”

About: You can find comfort knowing that I will treat your baby as if they are my own(which I don’t currently have, because I am probably busy watching someone else’s) There are days when I do have to go into the office. They will be home alone for longer periods of time (8 hours max). I aim to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible for them :) Let me know what your pets day-to-day is like!

About: I've caring for and rescuing cats since I was 8 years old. I'm comfortable cutting nails, trimming small mats, brushing, cleaning ears etc. I've fostered over 20 cats or kittens for various rescues and cleaned more litterboxes than I could count. I have a soft spot for senior cats needing medication or some extra daily help. For kittens, I always focus on socialization and desensitization to handling to ensure easier care later on in life.

About: So almost 2 years ago, my partner and I adopted a cat because he really wanted one.. I was a a self proclaimed “dog person” but have totally changed my mind and am now obsessed with cats. Now along with my first adopted cat Buttons, I’ve just adopted a kitten who we’ve named “orange kitty” I am very pattionate about getting the cats enough enrichment time and I will make sure to play with your cats and keep them happy and healthy :) Cat supremacy 🐈👑✨

About: I have a house full of fluff! Multi-dog home with big and small, male and female. Have done puppyhood and adopted adult dogs. Have cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits as well, and so am experienced with them, too! I worked as a pet trainer with PetSmart, interacting with dogs of all ages and breeds. I loved my job and helping other pet parents learn to be great communicators with their dogs and advocate for them! I have a specialist honours degree in Comparative Physiology from the University of Toronto, with a major in Biological Anthropology and minor in Psychology. I’ve graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. I am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. My schedule is quite flexible and my longest shift is typically 6hrs. I am happy to take on booking requests that fit well within my schedule. I prioritize learning the routine and norms of your pet (including cues/commands, preferences, medications, etc) that will ensure their comfort and consistency. I believe in being an effective communicator and our pets best advocate. I am continuously researching and learning how to improve as a pet parent and trainer. I do my best to ensure they receive good nutrition, activities, and rest. Understanding the breed(s) and the individual dog has helped me build great relationships with each individual pet.

“Jay was an excellent cat sitter for my two diabetic kitties! Having someone so friendly and competent really put my mind at ease. She even gave them toys and treats as a gift. Would highly recommend!”

“Phillip was wonderful with Roxie my 2.5 yo poodle mix. We traveled from the states and contacted him to do doggie day care for 2 days while we were visiting the area so we could go to Louisburg. From our initial meet Roxie liked him and Phillip took her on very long walks and allowed her free time in his home even with their own dog's toys. She seemed very relaxed and happy when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Phillip if you need someone to watch your beloved pet. He's GREAT!”

“Lauren was reliable and punctual. She walked my dog when I was going to be gone out of the house for a while. She kept in communication and sent me pictures of my dog on their walk. I will definitely book with her again when needed. Thank you Lauren!”

“Mushu loved her walk with Niya! Very accommodating to schedule some time around my shift work schedule”

About: I am educated in Animal Welfare and Companion Animal Behaviour from the Agricultural College. I have more than 300hrs of volunteer experience with various animal rescues, including cat/kitten fostering; kennel cleaning; dog socialization; dog walking. I have a soft spot for any senior animal needing medication and/or a little extra daily care. I've owned dogs, cats, rodents personally and provided pet-sitting services for friends and family for dogs, cats, rodents, ducks, livestock (cattle), and miniature horses. In regards to training, I believe the best tool is consistency and focus on balance/positive reinforcement. I'm currently building up my pet care business so I can be wherever you need me, whenever you need me! I'm just excited to meet your pets! I'm comfortable with many training tools (crates, martingales, harnesses...etc). To ensure consistency, I will ask detailed questions about commands, skills, and manners your pet currently knows and will follow your training program, unless I notice a matter of safety. I will then discuss the matter with you before proceeding in any way. During pet-sitting, any pet made messes will be cleaned promptly to maintain a happy, healthy home for your loved one.

“Mushu loved her two walks with Katherine. One in rain and one in shine :)”

“Elise has been great with my golden retriever! Super reliable! Super responsive! My dog loves her! Can’t say enough good things!”

“We are traveling in an RV Caravan trip with 24 RV’s and we needed a person to walk our dogs while we were away on an excursion. Janis agreed to meet us at our campground and she met our dogs and came back the next day to walk them. She walked four dogs in all and she did a great job and the dogs you could see enjoyed it from the pictures she sent! Highly recommended!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and my two golden retrievers are my whole world. Taking care of them has taught me how important patience, routine, and attention are, and I treat every dog I sit with the same way — like part of my family. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the little extras that make them feel happy and loved. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning their quirks and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and completely spoiled while I’m with them. I love dogs and my two golden retrievers are a huge part of my life, so caring for pups fits seamlessly into my day-to-day. I make sure they get walks, playtime, and cuddles without rushing — just like I do with my own dogs. I’m happy to work around schedules, provide consistent care, and make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while I’m with them. Pets aren’t just a job for me; they’re part of my daily life, and I treat every furry friend with the same attention and care I give my own. My home is extremely dog friendly and my dogs are used to other dogs being in the home. We live on a quiet street and have a huge yard for them to run. We also live right next to a beautiful walking trail that I use daily.

“Jay was on time and Paisley responded enthusiastically to her greeting. This was Paisley’s second meeting with Jay. Paisley is forming a connection and we are looking forward to continuing to have Jay and Paisley get to know each other as we prepare for having Jay house sit and care for Paisley in the future. We’re very happy with Jay’s knowledge, understanding and care of Paisley.”
