Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sydney

About: I am caring and thoughtful about the wellbeing of dogs and cats. I care for my own like he is my child and have been trusted by family and friends over the years, and have never let anyone down! I’m a teacher on summer vacation right now! I’d love to make my summer really meaningful by helping out some pups and their owners! (Or cats for drop in visits!) Come the fall, my schedule will be restricted to weekends, with some possible exceptions- just ask! Outdoor meet ups with owner an owner present are required between my dog and yours prior to daycare- please allow about 20 minutes for that. For overnight boarding we will have to do a meet up sometime leading up to the board, at least a day in advance. My dog, Ernie, does very well with other dogs- the purpose of the meet ups is just to make sure everyone is comfortable- dogs and humans! Doggy seatbelt provided for drives. Large kennel crate provided if your dog is used to sleeping in one! (However they also have the choice of the foot of my bed, or a dog bed next to it!)

“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!”

About: Hi there my name is Amanda and my husband is Matthew we moved to cape breton island (Sydney area) in jan 2024. We are very passionate about our 4 fur babies and have always dreamed of starting a kenneling business. Our home is on 5 acres of property with 1 acre of it fenced and lots of walking trails in the non fenced area. We are starting with rober to guage interest in the area. When with us you can be assured that your fur baby will be treated like one of our own. Before taking an overnight friend we will need to do a meet and greet to ensure they get along with other dogs and are good with kids as we have a new baby as they will be included in our family plays. We are looking forward to welcoming your babies into our home. Our schedule will be flexible as I am on mat leave and if we get a lot of interest we would like to make it into a business. My husband works from home. We can discuss what works best for you at meet and greet. It's my dogs world I just live in it is my way of caring for my pets. Don't get me wrong they have rules but my job is to make their lives the best I can which is what led me to this idea ! My dogs have been going to day camp and on pack walks for years and the socialization really helps them to learn to interact with other dogs and humans.

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.”

“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.”

Mamta B.

“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.”

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: 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!

“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.”

“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!”

“Amanda and Matt are very kind and gentle with our Husky, Estelle. They have 4 awesome labs and took care of to move the dogs to their gated backyard for our first meeting, to allow Estelle time to get accustomed to their house. I was very pleased with their excellent doggy daycare. I will definitely use their services again!”

“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!”

Suzanne C.

“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!”

About: I have plenty of pet care experience. Over my lifetime, I have been involved in the care of Dogs, Cats, Birds, Hamsters, Horses, pigs, and Bunnies! I have also been involved in fostering and caring for stray animals including mother cats and their kittens. My family has always had a big heart for animals and those in need. We have even been involved with fostering children and approved throughly through regulation processes. I would love to take care of your family pets :) I am currently in school (online) and do not work which means I am available whenever needed. I do not currently have any pets and am trying to fill that void by helping others care for theirs! If you have any questions, please ask :) I am currently available at all times! I have made the decision to return to school online and do not currently work. I can be available all. Your pet care needs :) I will respect and follow each pets routine and any owner instructions provided. No request is too big for those you consider to be a huge part of your family :)

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

“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.

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

Jessie N.

“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.”
