“Alicia took exceptional care of our cat, Duncan, while we were away on vacation. Duncan was a stray and sometimes takes a little bit to warm up to people… but not Alicia! He loved her in less than a day. She definitely will be at the top of our list for pet care in the future.”
“Natalie was awesome taking care of my cat! Friendly, very responsive, followed all instructions and provided daily updates. I also had the chance to see her spaces for cat boarding and they are wonderful! Definitely booking with her again next time I travel.”
About: I’m new here !! And because of that, I’m starting my rates very low to build up some clientele & dogs that I love ❤️ I have had & loved dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew up with Boston Terriers & now frequently visit my sister’s Boston. I have been walking my neighbors dog for her while she is in the office 3 times a week for the past 4 years. I love getting my steps in daily and love getting the doggos their steps as well! Whether it’s a walk by the lake or through your neighborhood, I love to care & walk all size dogs 🐕🦺🦮🐕🐩 If you think I’d make a good match for your fur child, shoot me a message & let’s get walking 😉 I have a flexible schedule and lots of free time during the day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little extra attention, I’m happy to be there when you need it. 🐕 I treat every dog like my own. Safety, patience, and close attention are always my priority so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.🐶
“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.”
“Emma was great with my dog, Harry! She kept us informed throughout her visit while we were out and was super responsive even late night. She shared many photos which gave us peace of mind. Will rebook!”
“Guangxu was a pleasure to have as a pet sitter for the two weeks I was away on vacation. He is very attentive, friendly and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond for my cat, always taking the best care of him while providing extra updates and pictures/videos. Thank you!”
“Brittany was our very first cat sitter and we are so happy with our experience! She was sensitive to our cat's needs and moods, giving her space and time when needed, but also prioritizing cuddles and brushings (which our cat adores). Brittany provided a thoughtful update and pictures after each visit and we could tell that our cat enjoyed her company, too! She completely put our minds at ease while we were away and we came home to a very happy and healthy kitty. We highly recommend Brittany to look after your furry friends!”
“Ryan provided great cat sitting while we were out for the long weekend. He came to meet us and our cat before the trip and while we were away he sent us daily updates and photos, which we looked forward to and very much enjoyed! We could see our cat was happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend Ryan and will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Paige was professional and was caring to our 2 cats over 3 days while we were away. We got a lot of great updates pictures and would definitely book again with Paige”
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.
“Kristina has looked after my senior cats many times and I have rebooked her for my next trip. I highly recommend her, reliable, on time and great communication. Thank you once again Miss!”
About: Hi there! I’m a 39-year-old lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with pets and have owned them my entire life, so I truly understand their needs, personalities, and the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Reliability and trust are very important to me. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your furry family members, so I always make sure to follow instructions carefully and keep you updated. If you’re looking for someone experienced, patient, and genuinely caring, I’d love to help take care of your pets! My schedule is extremely flexible, so fitting your pet care needs into my routine (even at short notice) will never be an issue for me! In my home, my cats enjoy a calm, cozy environment with plenty of sunny spots (we have a solarium), soft places to nap, and gentle one-on-one attention/play-time. I follow their routines closely, giving them the space and comfort they need to feel safe and relaxed—whether they’re playful, shy, or just loving the good window perch. When I care for pets in their own homes, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I stick to their usual feeding, play, and medication schedules, and always take time to connect with them so they feel secure while you're away. Whether it’s cats or dogs, young or senior, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, respect, and lots of love.
“Karling dropped in a few times to take care of my bunny Parsley while I was gone for the weekend. She was super responsive to messages and really attentive to any specific care instructions i left for her. I felt so at ease leaving Parsley in her care, and looking at the photos and report cards Parsley seemed to be quite happy too! Thank you so much Karling, from the both of us! 🐰”
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I welcomed my first dog, Aerfa, during university, and he stayed with me through many important life stages — starting my career, getting married, and becoming a parent. Pets have always been a true part of my life. With over 15years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive. I spend lots of time interacting, playing, and going outdoors with my own dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my family. We have two kids(8 and 11years old) who have grown up with dogs and they love animals a lot.They enjoy playing with each new fur friend and take some responsibilities to take care of them such as play fetch /chase/cuddle a lot with our doggie friends.We promise to love and care for every dog just like our own. 🐶💕 I work from home, and with flexible working hours. This gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, customized care based on both your needs and your pet’s routine. Your dog will never be left alone for long — I’m always around to supervise, comfort, and play with them throughout the day.Moreover，my husband is self-employed with a flexible schedule, therefore there’s always someone home to give attention and care. Our family loves the outdoors if weather allows and we often take dogs out for walks, hikes, and little adventures. I have a fenced big backyard and our house is 3,500+ sq ft so we make sure your cute pet will be have spacious room. We also have two kids who have grown up with dogs, so our home is warm, safe, and very pet-friendly. You can feel completely comfortable leaving your beloved dog or cat with us — we care for every pet as if they were part of our family.
About: I've been in a household that has owned dogs since I was five years old. Over the years, I have babysat neighbours and friends dogs of all sizes, including golden doodles, golden retrievers, schnauzer, etc. My family has also fostered dogs a few times, giving me the experience to walk with strong dogs who are not leash trained. I have been on Rover for a few years now and have experience walking dogs ranging from small to large. I am a huge dog-lover because of the joy they bring me, and their ability to make me smile even on the tough days. I am available all hours of the day on Weekends, and evenings during weekdays. I work from home Wednesdays and Fridays, so I am available for a midday walk on those days as well. Caring for pets in a home, whether it is mine or a client's, requires a certain degree of attentiveness, routine, and tailored care. My goal is always to ensure your pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared for, enhancing their level of happiness.
“Ruiyan is always on time, responsive and caring with our pets. Bonus, she takes amazing photos, too! We have great peace of mind knowing she is looking after them, helps us enjoy our vacations more.”
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 Scarlet currently works part-time from home on her own business. Igor 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. We have a fenced yard and two very mellow and patient Schapendoes who have been around dogs since birth. 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.

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!!
