“We arrived to pick up Joey and I think he would have preferred to stay! We had pics and comments from Sheilagh when we were away and were never worried about the care he was receiving. Excellent dog sitting home! Joey is going back for another 5 day stay in December and I’m sure he’ll be excited to see Gigi the resident queen pooch again!”
About: As a devoted dog mom to a 5-year-old pug and former pet parent to a Cocker Spaniel, I bring a lifetime of love and hands on animal care experience to every visit. Whether it's keeping up with active dog walking routines, providing specialized care like administering medications, or keeping your pets fresh with bathing, you can count on me to treat your furry family members with the utmost patience, safety, and affection. As a full-time teacher, my schedule is wonderfully open during the summer months, allowing me to be home full-time to give your pets round-the-clock attention, companionship, and care. During the school year, my routine is structured around my teaching hours, but I am fully dedicated to maintaining consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules before and after school, ensuring your pets always feel secure and prioritized. In my quiet country setting close to Rice Lake, pets enjoy a relaxing getaway featuring scenic walks on nearby trails and plenty of companionship from my friendly 5 year old pug. Whether staying in my home where animals are treated like family and fully welcomed onto the furniture and our bed or receiving visits in yours, your pets will experience a loving, comfortable, and attentive environment tailored to their daily routines.
“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Loghan has a lovely calm demeanor and is knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. My dog was instantly comfortable with him. What a wonderful experience we will be back.”
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”
“Our dog stayed with Bryan and Raisa over the weekend and came back to us happy and tired! She had an excellent time playing with their dog and we received many photos and videos of our pup throughout the weekend. Would recommend and we look forward to having Penny stay there again.”
“My girls had the best time with Andi-Lynn and Family, we had photo updates after the first night and I felt really at ease, thank you so much again for an awesome stay!”
“Alessia and her family have been amazing at sitting for my puppy, Gia. I knew she was going to be in good hands when we first met. They are attentive, caring, and well informed. I appreciated the updates/photos during my time away from her. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Meaghen and her girls were great with Dyson! He was comfortable and so happy there. We are lucky we found her last minute and she took him in without hesitation. We will definitely ask Meaghen to watch Dyson again during our next stay in Cobourg!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“We just cannot thank Elizabeth (Jayne) enough for all the love and attention she gave our old boy, Jack while we were away on vacation. Jayne was happy to be in touch with us and regularly sent pics and videos. Jack doesn’t always do well without us, but he settled in quickly and absolutely loved all the walks, love and attention he got at Jayne’s house! Jack is diabetic so it was such a relief knowing that Jayne had lots of experience giving insulin too. We will most definitely be calling Jayne again! Thank you, Jayne!”
“Kasi was amazing! My family and I took a 10 day trip down to Florida. Kasi made sure that both myself and my pup felt comfortable before we went away. We did a meet and greet with my boy and her golden, and then we did a full day of doggy daycare. Kasi gave me daily updates and pictures. It was so great to see my boy having such a good time with her golden. I’m so happy we went with Kasi! I will definitely contact her again in the future!”
“Susan and her family were really great with Elodie and Butters. I could tell right away that my dogs would love their stay. I really liked how they live all around fields so that the dogs have endless opportunities to run around and play. It felt like I was dropping them off to their own little vacation!”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
“My dog never likes kennels or being boarded, ever. But she seemed to really like Jessica's! Jessica accepted our last minute request, and we are glad she did, as we have now found our go-to boarding place. Her dog seemed calm and gentle, which is exactly what our dog needed. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”
“Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.

“My cats are sensitive people cuddles and get lonely when left alone. Angela was amazing with them, and they warmed up to her instantly. She attended to their idiosyncrasies such as regular 4 times a day feeding and dish placement to prevent food theft and bullying and more. When I returned home, my cats were calm and content. Besides the beautiful daily photos and updates Angela sent while I was away for a week, I knew Juno and Luna had been well cared for just by their demeanour which was markedly different from when they have gone to boarding facilities. Having a home stay like Angela is the way we will go from now on. In this regard, Angela was so incredibly gracious. I have been in the midst of renovating and decluttering my home as I reclaimed it from my grown children, and Angela urged me not to worry about it. This and the exceptional care given to my fur babies allowed me to enjoy a long overdue break. Thank you 🙏”
“Vanessa was so wonderful with our cats, Piper and Chewy. She sent us pictures and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. We felt really safe leaving them in her care and would again. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Vanessa was awesome! She cared for our cat Luna while we were away, providing lots of updates & photos each visit. We had a last minute change to our pet care and Vanessa was able and willing to help us out with only a few days notice. We really appreciated her stepping up to help us and for being so loving to our sweet Luna. Highly recommend! We will definitely book Vanessa again in the future :)”
“Danika was absolutely amazing with my two beans, even though they are still fairly new rescues and a bit shy! She coaxed both out of their shells, kept me updated, and followed the instructions we discussed/I left perfectly. More importantly to me, Danika is an incredibly kind and compassionate person to the human of the house, too. I struggle with some things and contacted her ahead of time to ask if she was okay with the situation my place was in, and she was nothing but understanding and reassuring. Being a recovering hoarder (never of animals!) is a hard climb with a tremendous amount of shame involved, especially when people have to enter my home and I can hear their reactions. Danika lifted that shame from my shoulders in her honest and compassionate statements that it was absolutely okay, and my cats deserve all the love no matter what the state of my kitchen or living room is. I absolutely hope to be a repeat client, although I am not away very often; this has opened up quite a bit of freedom for me, though, knowing my two heartbeats will be kept safe and happy if I need to go somewhere for several days. Thank you so much, Danika.”
About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.
About: I have taken care of my friends cats and my grandparents cats the past 10 plus years. I recently adopted a kitten and have had her for 7 months, she gets along great with my dog and I have yet to test other cats as of yet.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and have experience with puppies and seniors, as well experience taking care of very sick doggos. I love the outdoors, and take my 3 dogs on trail walks all the time! I have a bachelors degree in Biology, partial respiratory therapy training, CPR certification, and dog/cat First Aid & CPR. I am currently taking courses to become a certified dog trainer :) I currently work very part-time hours (mostly just every other weekend), and I am a morning person! I am available most weekdays to walk or sit your dog! I live in a rural area with a nice big yard (not fenced in). I have 3 friendly dogs, and 2 cats! I feed most of my pets twice a day, and can take them out for as many potty breaks as necessary. I have a crate and playpen if needed!
About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve had cats in the home since I was just a baby. By age 8 I completely took care of all cat related tasks in my home including; brushing, feeding, hydrating, some training, kitty litter. I’ve loved cats since I was little to now as I have 3 of my own precious babies. I am available for drop in visits 2-3 times a day Monday - Friday 5am - 2pm
About: I’ve cared for my own cats as well as cats belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure every cat gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your cat enjoys playing with toys, lounging in a sunny spot, or prefers quiet company and affection on their own terms, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual personality and needs. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands.
About: I’ve had cats in my home all of my life, but have had my own cat for 3.5 years now. My cat is part bengal, so naturally he is very energetic and smart. I’ve taught him to sit, high five, lay down, and fetch. I’ve given him both oral and topical (such as eye drops) medications successfully, and have always followed veterinary instructions closely. I clean his litter boxes daily, as he is quite particular. Furthermore, I’ve done a lot of research about cats in order to give him the best life possible. He has a water fountain away from his food because cats prefer running water, he is fed a special urinary care dry food because of past issues, and he is also fed wet food because moisture is of utmost importance for cats and their kidneys - especially male cats. I never keep flowers or toxic plants in my house for his safety, and I take him outside on a leash so that he is able to get the stimulation he needs with less risk. I’m a very particular cat owner, and would understand and respect any other cat owners preferences, just as I’d hope someone would do the same for me.
About: I love all pets from energetic to laid back nothings a challenge to me I've dealt with big, small, fast, stinky i can handle it I have a dog and a cat both amazing with other animals also previously walked dogs in my neighborhood. never had any complaints only good things to say I will do whatever I can to make the pet owner as comfortable as possible and take as good care of the pets as I can
About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

“Loghan is awesome, great communication and easy to reach. He sends pictures during Leo's stay which I really appreciate. Leo loves going over to Loghans for a stay! Thank you so much.”
About: Thank you for reading over my page! I've grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. And I love all animals. I'm most familiar with poodles, chow chows, and frenchies, but love all the funny and lovable characteristics every individual dog or cat possesses. I also have extensive experience with reactive dog, and can assist those who need walks with low interaction, special needs, training, etc. I currently work part time as a Law Clerk. This is why I am able to provide almost constant care in your home, dog walks, and whatever else you may need for your furry family members. Looking to help care for your little loved ones, and can also offer some special needs such as medication administration. I am most interested in house/pet sitting over weekdays and weekends. I can also accommodate last minute demands. Dog walking/hiking, drop-ins. All are welcome! Can't wait to meet you! Because I work part time my schedule is generally fairly open, except for school drop off and pick up during the school season. If your furry friend needs constant, uninterrupted care, please let me know and I will advise whether that will be possible. Your pets are your family, and I understand that. When I am caring for your pet I will always treat them with the utmost care and love, making sure any special needs or wants are met 100% of the time.

“She is amazing, very caring and very kind. Milo had never been away from home without us and he was super happy and relaxed, when my husband came to pick him up he wasn’t in any rush to leave but the opposite feels like he was hoping to stay longer. We really appreciate she walked Milo 4 times and when we came to pick him up we were impressed to see Milo walking so politely and relaxed with her, Milo with us is pulling the leach all the time. We are very happy and we’re thankful for all she did to integrate Milo and make him feel comfortable and happy”

“Not only did we need a daycare appointment on Christmas Day, we had to make a last-minute switch to Boxing Day. We had never worked with Bryan and Raisa before but we will again, definitely! Molly was well cared-for and in great spirits when we picked her up! We received some pics throughout as well. Thanks so much to Bryan and Raisa for giving us peace of mind!”
About: Hi! We are Star Sitters here on Rover, with 6 years of professional pet care and 18 with our own animals. Someone is always here in our calm, safe, and dog friendly home so your dog can spend the day with company instead of being home alone. We do live with our loveable Boston Terrier, Gus, and we are often found hiking on dog friendly trails on the weekend or spending time at the lake. We are very active, enjoy being outside and think dogs should be too - Gus has a lot of energy so daily excercise is key already here. I work as a professional planner and Scott works from home and we are both free on weekends with flexible schedules. We spend a lot of love and time on Gus, who, like us, loves being around other dogs. We would be happy to meet you and your doggy in advance so you can get to know us. Emily works in the office four days per week just a few minutes from home, Scott works from home. Neither of us work on the weekend. Our home is save for any animal - we're smoke free, drug free with no children. Gus loves other dogs and always enjoys having a friend around. Our back yard is mostly fenced in and it's tucked behind. The front is also mostly fenced with a small garden fence.
About: I've had dogs in my life for 40 years and truly love having them around. In recent years I've owned senior rescue dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine and gentle attention can be. Whether a dog is playful or just needs a place to happily chill, I make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I take dogs in when you're travelling or need occasional dog sitting, rather than permanent dog care. Because I work from home, dogs fit very naturally into my daily routine. They get plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks in my fenced yard and relaxed time inside the house with me throughout the day. I enjoy walking with them, playtime and quiet companionship. Your dog will stay in a calm, safe and loving home where they can relax and feel comfortable. They will have plenty of outdoor breaks in my fenced yard as well as regular walks. I pay close attention to their personality and routine so they feel safe, cared for and right at home while you're away. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your dog will have my full attention.
About: I had a family dog for 13 years. I have been on rover for a couple of years now and I have had all different kind of experiences through the app. I have had many different dog walking clients from puppies to senior dogs. I have done house sittings anywhere from 1 night to 5 week long stays, I’ve even just dropped in for a few hours to keep your animals company and take them on walks. I have looked after all kinds of dogs and cats and even chickens. I am so passionate about animals and making sure your animals are comfortable and happy during your time away! I just recently got 2 puppies so I have been training them and looking after them so I have recent experience with puppies as well. I currently am working part time but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate for your needs. If your animals can only be left alone for a certain amount of time I am more than happy to work around those hours. I typically don’t do house sitting in my own house. I feel it’s best for the animals to stay at their house so it’s an easier transition into having me look after them. The animal is typically a lot more comfortable having someone new around if it’s in their own home from my experience.
“My dog was very comfortable and happy right away on meeting Lisa at her house. Great backyard and lots of space to explore and play inside as well. Friendly and asked all the right questions, would recommend.”
“Danika is great and my dog Cooper loves her. He has stayed with her 3 times now and is excited to see her when I drop him off. She’s been flexible with my schedule, sends pictures during the visit, and takes Coop on long walks. I recommend Danika and will book with her again!”
“Kasi is open and very easy to communicate. She cares about our pup, and makes sure our pup has what he needs to feel like home. She also shared photos with us which put a big smile on our face. We'll be back with Kasi when we need help next time.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets, and spending time with them is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s slow morning walks, playtime, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.

About: I am flexible in care and understanding every pet and pet parent has a unique need - not every situation will have the exact same care, and thats okay! :) I work remotely in my house. I have flexible working hours and can accommodate anything your fur baby needs.

“Angie met with me and Poppy as a first time meet and greet. She was Friendly and knowledgeable. Poppy seemed to like her. I'm looking forward to Poppy and Angie becoming friends.”
About: I have taken care of animals and had the tasks of walking or pet sitting in the home for the past couple years. I am comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes and feel my skills that I have from owning pets myself will better allow me to watch your own pets. Throughout my time watching pets I have had a variety of aged pets and choose to adapt to their comfort level, such as playing fetch and walking on more challenging terrain with a younger dog, and finding a flatter and less busy trail/path for a senior dog. I am currently a University student here in Ottawa and the flexibility of dog walking in my schedule would be perfect! The ability to choose my own schedule allows for me to control my own hours while also maximizing the time I’m able to walk your animals. I enjoy walking on paths and non-busy roads which not only adds to the enjoyment of the walk, but your pets safety. Minimizing distractions for your pet while putting your pets safety and mine first. Within the area I have agreed to dog walk in are some great walking paths and parks that allow for off leash time if given the go ahead by the owner of course.
About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.
About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.
About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and respect for animals, paired with a calm, reliable presence that pets quickly trust. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means energetic walks for dogs or quiet love for shy cats. I’m detail oriented, communicative, and always ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. My experience includes senior pets, new borns, medication administration, and nervous animals who need extra patience. I treat every pet like family and take pride in creating a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and with my part-time work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I structure my days around their needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening playtime and cuddles. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. My home is pet friendly, clean, and fully prepared for furry guests, with a secure, fenced in yard perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and plenty of space to roam. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

“We arrived to pick up Joey and I think he would have preferred to stay! We had pics and comments from Sheilagh when we were away and were never worried about the care he was receiving. Excellent dog sitting home! Joey is going back for another 5 day stay in December and I’m sure he’ll be excited to see Gigi the resident queen pooch again!”
“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Loghan has a lovely calm demeanor and is knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. My dog was instantly comfortable with him. What a wonderful experience we will be back.”
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”
“Our dog stayed with Bryan and Raisa over the weekend and came back to us happy and tired! She had an excellent time playing with their dog and we received many photos and videos of our pup throughout the weekend. Would recommend and we look forward to having Penny stay there again.”
“My girls had the best time with Andi-Lynn and Family, we had photo updates after the first night and I felt really at ease, thank you so much again for an awesome stay!”
“Alessia and her family have been amazing at sitting for my puppy, Gia. I knew she was going to be in good hands when we first met. They are attentive, caring, and well informed. I appreciated the updates/photos during my time away from her. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Meaghen and her girls were great with Dyson! He was comfortable and so happy there. We are lucky we found her last minute and she took him in without hesitation. We will definitely ask Meaghen to watch Dyson again during our next stay in Cobourg!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“Kasi was amazing! My family and I took a 10 day trip down to Florida. Kasi made sure that both myself and my pup felt comfortable before we went away. We did a meet and greet with my boy and her golden, and then we did a full day of doggy daycare. Kasi gave me daily updates and pictures. It was so great to see my boy having such a good time with her golden. I’m so happy we went with Kasi! I will definitely contact her again in the future!”
“Susan and her family were really great with Elodie and Butters. I could tell right away that my dogs would love their stay. I really liked how they live all around fields so that the dogs have endless opportunities to run around and play. It felt like I was dropping them off to their own little vacation!”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
“My dog never likes kennels or being boarded, ever. But she seemed to really like Jessica's! Jessica accepted our last minute request, and we are glad she did, as we have now found our go-to boarding place. Her dog seemed calm and gentle, which is exactly what our dog needed. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”
“Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.
“Lisa was great She gave our Mackie a warm family atmosphere in her home and her dog and ours got along so feel it was like they were related. I have a feeling she spoiled him during his stay. She sent us pictures that prove this. Thanks Lisa and I would highly recommend her”
