“Kristina was very professional and a pleasure to work with. She was very thorough with our cat’s care instructions and provided daily updates and pictures. While we were a bit nervous having someone stay in our house while away, it worked out great and our pet was happy. Overall a great decision. We would not hesitate to use her again or recommend to our friends!”
“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. He even extended his services for us to help us in a tight spot. He elevated sooo much stress for us in an already stressful situation and we cannot thank him enough. We will certainly use his services again and recommend him to others.”

“Paige was extremely good with our two cats, I would highly recommend! We booked very last minute and she still come over to meet both the cats.

“Alicia was an excellent house sitter. Both of my cats, Otis and Walter, like her. They told me so and asked when she was coming back. I said soon!”
“Daniel and Tane are beyond wonderful. I went away for two weeks for a much needed vacation. I never get away as I feel great anxiety in leaving my fur baby behind. In meeting Daniel and Tane, my anxiety diminished instantly. They were fantastic. The initial plan of check-in’s was quickly modified to in-house boarding which they instantly accommodated! They sent daily pictures and regular updates. They treated my fur baby as though she was theirs. They were so accommodating, attentive, and caring! I’m truly grateful for having met them! They were beyond amazing! Thank you Daniel and Tane!”

“Emma is the best! She is so friendly, personable and caring! She did drop in visits twice a day to feed our cat Charlie, and I could tell she really tried to make the most of it while she was with him! Her update messages were informative, funny and always on schedule. Emma is our go to whenever we need a pet sitter, highly recommend!”
“Alicia was tremendous! This was our first time using Rover and had our questions but she made us feel at ease. We were away for just over a week and she dropped in to take care of our three cats aged from range 2-18. She handled their various (sometimes messy) quirks with ease and kept all their areas neat and tidy. The daily pictures and updates again made us feel that are cats were in very great hands. Very much looking to source her services the next time we're out of town!!!”
“Yanqi is an amazing cat sitter! My cat absolutely loves her, and she is very patient and caring. She spends time playing and keeping my cat company, making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I truly appreciate her dedication and kindness.”
About: Since my college days, I've been a dedicated dog owner. I understand the importance of a loving family setting for your pup's stay. That's why we offer access to indoor and outdoor play areas, comfortable rest spaces, and engaging activities. Our huge fenced backyard provides the perfect environment for exercise, fresh air, and relaxation. We also provide more flexible drop-off and pick-up times to accommodate various owner schedules. We also live near the Go Train station to keep your commute time an easy one I currently work part-time from home on my own business. My husband, who is also a dog lover, also works from home on a flexible schedule. Our kids love hanging around puppies; my mom also helps with doggies. Your dog will be surrounded and taken care of by family. I have a fenced yard and two very mellow and patient Schapendoes who have been around dogs since they were young. They will keep your doggie company and play with them. We understand dogs do better when they stay on their routines, so we will respect and follow all your directives, including special diets and crating times, as needed.
“Xin looked after my cat so well! Thanks so much!”
“Taylor is a fantastic pet sitter. She’s reliable, professional, and clearly experienced with all kinds of animals. Even though my cat is on the grumpier side and hasn’t fully warmed up to her (yet!), Taylor is always patient and respectful of her space. She gives great updates and makes sure everything is taken care of. I really appreciate the peace of mind knowing my pet is in capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter!”
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. Right now, I work at an office where I can bring pets with me or leave for walks and love anytime. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can. 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.
“Emily was wonderful! Very professional and sweet with Odie. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her for puppy sitting!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and trusting my cats to another person besides my family or neighbour. I knew the first day that Macy came to meet the cats that I had no reason to be concerned. Each day of my trip, I received a quick message updating me on the progress she was making with my very shy cat and the affection she was showing my very needy cat:-). I have two rescue cats, each with very quirky issues and Macy wasn't deterred by their needs. Our pets are family and it was nice to have Macy be part of that family.”
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.
About: I grew up with two dogs and was always fascinated about dogs as I grew I realized the bigger the dog the more I am in love Currently I'm a dedicated volunteer at kerr street mission in-between that I enjoy reading at the library so when it comes to pet care I'm super flexible I've been researching animals from a young age and I find it very easy to pick up cues from them that other people don't see

Scarleth E.
“5 Stars! Amazing Dog Sitter! I can't say enough good things about Scarleth! She has been the absolute best sitter for my two dogs. How do I know? Because my dogs adore her and are extremely happy every time they see her! From the moment they arrived to Scarleth's house, I could tell they were in great hands. She treats them like family, and they absolutely adore her! My dogs get the royal treatment with cozy spots on the bed, daily walks (twice a day, which they love), and plenty of playtime. Her big, fenced-in backyard is perfect for them to run around and explore. It’s also clear they feel right at home, especially with her two adorable dogs to keep them company. I'm sure my dogs never feel lonely. What really puts my mind at ease is that she works from home, so the dogs are always surrounded by love and attention. It’s so reassuring to know they’re in such a safe, caring environment. If you’re looking for a wonderful, reliable dog sitter, I highly recommend Scarleth. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs have a fantastic time and are well-cared for.”
