About: Most of my pet care experiences are from owning lizard and fishes. But 5 months ago, I started dog walking and I recently adopted a cat and I realized how much I enjoyed being around furry friends ✨️😊 Since it's my summer break from college, I would love to use this as opportunity to enjoy my summer break with furry friends while earning money. When I'm walking my dog client, I make sure he gets his exercise by playing catch, walking, playing with other dogs, exploring, and I make sure to keep him safe. I make sure my cat at home also gets his playtime with me, make sure his bowls are cleaned every time I refill his bowl for food and water 😊
“Lorin was excellent to our 2 senior and special dogs...even though they had never stayed with her before, she was able to get to them with her special care, love and attention! I wouldn't doubt to have her take care of them again.”
“Paige looked after our two cats, one who is diabetic, and did an excellent job! She provided us with great updates while we were gone and we were able to enjoy our trip as we knew our cats were in good hands. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a long-time pet lover and owner! I've had large and small dogs along with cats over my life. I had a large dog (Rottweiler 98lbs) with aggression issues, so I'm not put off by a little attitude from your pet. Every animal has its own personality just like humans. I am certified in Canine First Aid and have Dog Behaviour (basic), Dog to Dog Aggression, Canine Separation Anxiety, Daycare & Group Play Assessment and Dog Walking Certification course training. I lost my pet recently from cancer and am not ready to readopt yet. I promise I will love and care for your pet as my own. I promise to be very respectful and tidy while in/around your home. I feel that communication is very important while pet parents are away, so I like to give updates and photos of our adventures. I am Oakville born and raised. I went to St.Mildred's & OTHS then studied at George Brown College. I live in Old Oakville. I am an activist on animal rights and do what I can to help ALL animals. You may find me at a protest or rally fighting for the rights of all animals on the weekends. I am very close with my family so don't be surprised if you see my folks at the house hanging out. I grew up in an animal house and my folks love animals also but don't have any pets right now either. I would love a chance to meet you and your pet family! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :) I am a pet sitting Professional!! That's what I do!! I take care and love your pet like it was my own. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can and they usually love the little adventures. I also have a car so we can go to a mix of parks. I live at a house with my parents with nice little yard and a park right out front. This makes it easy for quick walk and lots of good smell to keep the dog cognitive arousal fulfilled. There is an abundance of parks around me.
“Ryan communicates very well with us if he is going to be caught up in traffic, so we will try another time, which may help a bit in the future. Wow, I was impressed to see the photos Ryan posted of Jackson and Dexter running in the park off leash (that's a first for us), apparently they got in a bit of a brother scrap with each other, which they don't often do, but the freedom of running around and the excitement of it all doesn't surprise me and of course Ryan was able to deal with that without a problem. I can tell that today they really had a great workout, so we really happy. Thanks, Ryan!”
“I highly recommend Kristina. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with and very reliable. She has looked after my 2 cats multiple times and I have total peace of mind while I’m away that my cats are being cared for.”
“Alicia came over for a meet-and-greet and immediately established rapport with our cat (and also our toddler). She was friendly and non-judgmental about a messy house and some of our cat's odd routines. We're thrilled to have her as our new cat sitter!”
“Adrianna was wonderful with my cat Link! She sent plenty of photos and provided detailed updates with each visit, and I could tell he was so content and relaxed with her around. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well cared for, and I would love to book with her again!”

“Nikki was great with our cats, even our shy one got close to her and allowed a good few belly rubs which should tell you all you need to know. Nikki was very attentive taking care of their needs and playing with them to help them spend some energy. I highly reccommend her and will use her services again.”

About: Hi! I am a very trustworthy and empathetic animal lover who has experience caring for her own dogs (previously Berners & Goldens), foster dogs, puppies, cats & kittens and my own Calico cat! I will soon be a teacher on summer break with next to no plans! Feel free to reach out and we can make something work.

About: I have taken care of dogs that range in many different breeds and sizes. I’ve either walked/sat my friend’s dogs or I’ve taken care of my cousins dog for an average of a week!

I am able to stop by to feed and let your dog out, take dogs on walking ranging in length to fit your dog’s needs (or even take them to a dog park!), I can also work with cats! I can stop by to keep them company during the day if you find your pet gets anxious without people in your home!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. Whether it be my grandmas, our families or friends, I have been responsible to walk, feed and bathe them for years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to take breaks during work hours to walk your pups or as well as in the early morning or evening. Establishing trust between myself and the dog is the most important. Firstly, I stay calm and allow for some time and space to reassure them I’m not threatening and establish familiarity. I provide regular check-ins for ease of mind and work to establish a regular routine for the animals in my care. I am passionate about animal care and find it sincerely therapeutic.

This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my cat in our own home instead of taking her to a family member's. I am so grateful that Alicia was available to look after my cat, as she was incredibly kind and helpful! My cat is not aggressive by any means, but as a Calico, she's not the friendliest and Alicia was so patient with her. I really felt like I could trust Alicia and with her open communication, I really felt reassured. I highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking!
Guangxu and Shirley, Were very good and followed all the instructions for jasmines care and food and they came on time. They were constantly in touch when required and also provided us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Which was very assuring. They were responsive to all questions I had and were very prompt.i would definitely call them again for Jasmine
Thank you Ryan for looking after S’mores so well. We appreciate your updates and photos and look forward to them almost as much as S'mores looks forward to his food and daily brushing! Going away knowing our kitty is well taken care off is very much appreciated. Thank you!!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
