“Lucy was fantastic with my dog Perla! It was her first time with a sitter, and she can be nervous around new people but Lucy had the magic touch and immediately made Perla feel comfortable. She was very communicative and made me feel reassured that Perla was well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy sitter that's great with pets, Lucy is your girl.”
About: I love animals and spend a lot of time training, snuggling, brushing, playing with and spoiling my Aussiedoodle with treats. I come with a parent who has had animals her whole life and is very comfortable making sure your pup is well cared for. We have a flexible schedule with afternoon visits being the most convenient, but can be flexible. My 9 year old is keen to come as her first “job” however I work shift work and am available often during the day to fill in any gaps. We are mostly interested in visits to your home for cat or dog sitting. We are happy to provide what is needed based on your animals temperament and needs. Refilling food, snuggles, play, etc. as needed.
About: I grew up dog-sitting for families in my neighborhood and have been around dogs my entire life. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and am available Monday through Thursday throughout the summer. I work part-time at a restaurant from Thursday to Sunday, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets during the week. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and consistent care to fit your pet’s needs. As I live in an apartment I’m unable to have dogs in my building, but I would be more than happy to come to your home whether it be for a dog walk or dog sitting!
“Kristen was awesome. Super responsive, punctual, kind and organized. Took excellent care of our elderly cat, including administering medication. Would not hesitate to book again!”
“This is my 2nd time booking with Richelle! I needed someone who knew how to take care of my cat and understood her needs and Richelle has been outstanding. Thank you :)”
About: I've loved animals since I was a child! I have extensive experience caring for large dogs and have raised a puppy and supported a terminally ill dog. I am confident in leash control of large dogs that pull, as my own dog is ~100lbs. My Old English Sheepdog is eager for a playmate if your pup is looking to socialize! My schedule is extremely flexible, with my only consistent commitments being early morning Wednesdays and Sundays. I have my own vehicle and am happy to come to you! I have a friendly, playful dog who would LOVE to go for walks with your dog! I will care for your pets as though they are my own with patience, love, and enthusiasm!
“Really enjoyed our experience with Clementine. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She is very accommodating and took care of our 10 week old pup on short notice with great care. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds for many years. Friends, family members, and neighbours have always trusted me to walk, feed, and give lots of attention to their pets while they are away. I have trained my own dogs as puppies, and have lots of experience working with with reactive/medically complex dogs. I am currently a full time University student. This leaves me with lots of time in between classes and at the end of the day to spend time with your animals! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I take extra care to ensure their environment remains clean and secure, and I’m experienced in administering medications for pets with medical needs. My goal is to provide attentive, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel at ease while apart!
“Robin took wonderful care of my cat (Moon) while I was out of town. She was responsive through Rover and checked in on the timings we had scheduled when the weather got really warm - she had Moon’s best interest at heart!”
“Maya came at short notice to sit with our quirky pets, and they immediately bonded with her. She is sensible, professional, and good with the animals. We will definitely get her help again.”
“Melanie is great with our three pets two dogs and a cat, she gives them massages and they are always happier after seeing her. She is great at communicating and does a great job. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pets cared for.”
“Holly was very attentive and responsive while taking care of our cats. She provided daily check ins with photos and was very communicative when needed. Our cats are very shy and tend to hide around anyone who isn’t us but Holly managed to make friends with both of them :) We will definitely be using Holly in the future!”
“Ava was fantastic! She was so easy to book with and accommodating. Nala loved her, and it was clear Ava spent quality time with her. She kept us updated on how Nala was doing and sent some great pictures. Anyone would be lucky to hire Ava to take care of their pets; she deeply cares about animals, and our (grumpy senior cat) Nala can't wait to have her back. Thank you Ava!”
“Marcia took great care of my dear Kevin. Her updates were great. Kevin and I are pleased with the service provided. Will definitely reach out to Marcia for cat-sitting services again. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers and a papillon) for 23 years, I love every dog I see, so dog care is definitely my thing. I am very accustomed to all types of dog behaviour, walking, feeding, giving medication, itchy paw care, and all other pet care associated with dogs. I'm a well seasoned dog caretaker and am very familiar with many types of challenges and hyper puppies. I currently do not have a day job, so I am very able to be a hands-on caretaker to your pet. Walking, feeding, and attentiveness are my main priority. The best way to make sure your pets feel safe, trusting, and comfortable is for me to continue on the daily routine they tend to follow. I'm very familiar with having to separate animals in different rooms, gates, stairs, feeding schedules and walking times. The best way I can give the utmost care for your companion is if you tell me exactly what you'd appreciate in terms of caretaking from me and I will make sure I do it exactly how you'd like in a way that is comfortable for you and you pet!

About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals!

Stacey is wonderful! My very elderly cat was very happy seeing Stacey twice a day and is happy and calm upon my return. Stacey sent me lovely pictures of my cat daily and I felt so confident with her care of my old girl. Stacey was so easy to talk to and her visits were just what was needed. I will definitely call on her again.
Lauren provided excellent care for my cat while I was away! She was always quick to respond, communicated regularly, and provided photos after check-ins. As a first-time Rover user, I couldn’t be more satisfied and would love to book with Lauren again for future pet sitting needs :)
Richelle was excellent and I will hire her again for future trips. She made an effort to coax our stranger-shy cats out and got them purring and playing over the course of ten days while we were away. She was also professional, responsible, and provided daily updates and photos so we wouldn't worry. Also, as an aside, she helped me navigate the app as I'm not super tech-knowledgeable. Her updates were full of details and showed how much she cares about animals! When we returned both cats were happy and calm, as if we'd only been out for an hour. I highly recommend her!
Robin was great! Super communicative, great with my cat, and very willing to help out (ex. Cleaned litter without being asked, offered to water plants). Their availability was also super helpful/flexible. I will for sure be booking with Robin again and would definitely recommend them to a friend!
Heather was lovely! She came before I left to meet my cat and check out the routine. She loved my cat (obviously because my cat is the cutest cat who ever lived)😏. She made sure to follow all the instructions and sent me pictures each time. Thank you for caring for my fur baby!
Olivia provides extremely reliable timely in home care. She shared status updates and photos of our two very different feline family members. Olivia Thank you for your help during our week long trip. You gave us peace of mind. We’ll definitely hire you again!
Gabi did an overall excellent job in caring for my Fay while I was away for over a week! She perfectly followed feed and litter instructions, and reached out when she flagged issues needing attention. I would absolutely trust her with cat-sitting in the future!
Ava was fantastic! She was so easy to book with and accommodating. Nala loved her, and it was clear Ava spent quality time with her. She kept us updated on how Nala was doing and sent some great pictures. Anyone would be lucky to hire Ava to take care of their pets; she deeply cares about animals, and our (grumpy senior cat) Nala can't wait to have her back. Thank you Ava!
Elara took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She kept us updated about her visits and was highly responsive. In addition to feeding, she gave our cats some play time and even watered our garden. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will definitely have her back to look after our cats next time we’re away.
