“I can’t thank Vicki and her family enough for taking wonderful care of my 1 year old puppy, Daisy, while I was away for the long weekend! From the moment I met them, I felt at ease knowing she would be with such caring people. They provided her with plenty of playtime, walks, attention, love, made a special effort to stick to her routine, while also training! I'm walking a different pup these days. Just amazing bonuses! I also received updates and adorable photos that reassured me she was happy and well-loved. When I picked her up, Daisy was thriving and clearly had a great time! I highly recommend this amazing family to anyone in need of a loving pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“We are so happy with Melissa and her family and well they took care of Syrus while we were on vacation. Loved receiving the pictures and updates everyday...it helped us to enjoy ourselves knowing that he was safe and enjoying his time with their dog. Thank you very much and we will definitely be using you again on our next trip!”
“Amanda was super amazing with Mikko. He had such a blast with her the whole day and we could see it in the picture updates she sent us. We totally appreciate Amanda’s communication throughout the day, especially with it being Mikko’s first time with pet sitter. 100% we’ll be going back and Mikko will probably love that.”
“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Joanne is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her family was wonderful, and Penny enjoyed lots of walks, attention, and affection while staying in their home. We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Cecily was wonderful with our old guy! Great communication, very kind and accommodating. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her, and would definitely book with her again!”
“We are so happy to have met Mahan, she took amazing care of our 1.5 year old Cavapoo for 10 days!! It was our first time being away from him for that long and she provided regular updates and pictures that made me feel so good to know he was doing well. We first met with a meet and greet and her dog and my dog got along really nicely. She also has a lovely clean and calm home! I highly recommend Mahan for any dog care and will be booking again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“Our young toy poodle stayed 3 nights with Julia. It was our dog’s first time boarding. While we were confident in Julia after the meet-and-greet, we weren’t sure if our dog would have challenging anxiety. Any concerns we had about that were quickly abated with Julia’s updates which included pics of our dog at ease and looking happy within the first day. Julia accommodated our dog very well and we’re thankful for her!”
“Kripa has been very kind. She took care of our pet like her own. She was always prompt in responding to messages. She sent updates of our pet from time to time. I was very happy and content with her service and I would definitely choose her even the next time I have this necessity”
“Thank you once again, Natalie and Daniel, for watching Millie while we were away for the weekend. We loved getting updates on Millie’s time with you. It really helped us, as we always miss her. We are so thankful for the great care you provide and know that Millie is in good hands. Sincerely, Claire”
“Mia had a wonderful time during her stay with Lori! Lori was able to accommodate my last minute request for care, and provided excellent communication with me before and during Mia's stay. I have already booked Mia to stay with Lori again. I'm so grateful to have found a lovely, kind, attentive, and responsible sitter for Mia!”
“Now I don’t have to worry about my dog spark if I am planning any vacations. Yogita and Dibakars space is like second home for Spark 😀. He enjoyed his stay with them. Thanks Dibakar and Yogita taking care of Spark. I am highly recommend Dibakar and Yogita for dog Bording. These guys are so flexible to accommodate your requests.”
“Home away from home for our dog !!!! Surbhi & Tushar are wonderful people. They take care of your pet (big or small) like their own. They make sure your pet eats on time, has good playtime and rest time. Regular updates were so helpful in knowing our dog was happy and enjoying his time with them. If you want to be stress-free and not worry about your pet even for a second, board them with these 2 amazing humans and their little cute dog, Taco.”
“This was our 3rd time leaving Teddy with Lauren. He stayed with her for 5 days. Teddy came back home very happy and Lauren kept us posted by sending regular pictures and videos. We would recommend Lauren anyday😊”
“Mohina provided excellent service and took such good care of our fur baby. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her for any future needs. Thanks also to Coco and Chanel for being amazing new playmates to Oliver.”

“Abbey was amazing with our two cats. She updated me on everything from litter to food. She was also able to give one of my cats their meds with no issues! So thankful for her.”
About: Hi there! I’m Carlie! 👋 I've been a pet owner my whole life, which has given me a genuine love for both dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of training playful puppies and even fostering several at once, focusing on potty training and behavior. I particularly adore dachshunds and other small breeds—they truly have a special place in my heart. Cats are just as important to me, and I know how to give them the care they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quality snuggles, your feline companions will be in great hands. I’m also a nature lover, so I enjoy taking long walks in the afternoons and evenings, ensuring your pets get plenty of exercise and fresh air. You can trust that your pets’ happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m a freelance commercial photographer and I make my own schedule which leaves lot of free time during my day to look after your fur babies! I use pet friendly candles + air fresheners and cleaning products. Providing enrichment toys for safe play time, as well as socializing with other dogs outdoors.
“I appreciate Erinne's reliability, especially considering this was my first time using Rover to find someone to care for my cat. Erinne consistently visited my home every other day to feed, water, and spend time with my cat. She also provided photos from each visit, along with observations about how my cat was doing. Erinne proved to be a responsible caregiver, and I felt completely at ease while travelling overseas, knowing my pet was in capable hands. I highly recommend Erinne and plan to book her again.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sam! I have been caring for cats and dogs professionally since 2019. I have always been an animal lover, from slimy and scaly to soft and fluffy. Every animal deserves tender love and care, especially while their family is away. It can be scary for pets when their family is away and I understand how a gentle, patient and calm approach can ease that discomfort for pet parents and their pet. Safety is my number 1 priority and I’m a big believer in loss prevention, meaning the pets I care for are always secured. Never off leash or in areas that could be a potential danger. I also understand that animals have mental and physical enrichment needs, I aim to stimulate their brains as well as get them moving physically. I have an almost 9 year old dog named Toby, he is a shih tzu mix. I have been caring for dogs and cats professionally since 2019 so Toby is happy to share his house and backyard with friends! I ask that your dog is dog friendly to ensure that both pups are happy during the stay. I also have a 9 year young cat, named Phoebe. She is comfortable with sharing her home with dogs that are happy to give her space. Even if your dog hasn’t been around a cat before I’m happy to do a trail and see how your pup responds, some dogs can be easily redirected and we can make it work! Some dogs have a higher prey drive so redirecting can be harder. A meet and greet prior to a stay will be important to ensure all parties are comfy! I do work a full time job. My days are typically opposite to my partner, so your pup will never be home alone long :) Safety is my number one priority with every animal I care for. I cannot imagine what I would do if I lost either of my pets. Our backyard is fully fenced and I check often for imperfections such as holes in or under the fence. Your dog will always be on leash while out and about, even if your pup has great recall I will never let them off leash unless in a secure area, such as a dog park or other fenced in area. We use long lines on hikes to provide the off leash experience.
“Zehra was amazing, checking in on my two cats while I was away on vacation! She sent thorough updates every day and sent me so many cute photos of my fur babies. She is extremely thorough and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were not only fed, but played with and brushed! Couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking again in the future.”
“Nicole was great with my kitties, they are so shy and scared around strangers. Booking drop in visits was very easy and she was very communicative always sending pics and updates. I would have no problem recommending Nicole and using her services for my kitties again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.
“Emma took care of our two short hair tabby cats as drop-in visits for 8 days. She was very patient with them and they became friendly with her fairly quickly. I would rebook her again.”
“Just an overall amazing experience with prompt service and professionalism from Dibakar. I contacted Him while I was away and he was able to accommodate to my schedule to complete a few visits per week, sent photos, showed my cats some love and did a great job cleaning up! Highly recommend and will definitely have Dibakar as my go-to!”
About: Ever since I was 8 years old I always enjoyed taking care of our multiple family cats by feeding and spending quality time with them. I cared for my cat mango for 17 wonderful years and he meant the world to me. I also enjoy spending time with our family dog who we've had for 15 years. I would take him for walks, feed him, pet-sit him while my parents were away, and play with him at the park in his younger years. I have experience litter training cats and my former pet rabbit. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have many year's experience it's something I am passionate about. I also have a flexible work schedule which allows me to set my own routines without much interference. I've cared for pets for many years growing up as a child and into my adulthood, therefore it's something I really enjoy doing. In client's homes I would treat their pet as if it were my own and ensure they get the best care possible during the visit.
“Believe the hype! Olivia was fantastic, she replied very quickly throughout her week of visits with our cats. She’d always include lots of pictures/videos and addressed any questions we had during her visits. Our cats seemed to bond with her pretty quickly (even the one who is wary of strangers). Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amy is wonderful. You can tell she’s a true animal lover and I think that adds a level of trust with you that she will be caring with your fur baby/s. She is super friendly and responsive and a bonus is a fun personality. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future when needed. Thanks Amy! Never had a worry.”
“Rachel was amazing, she was a rockstar right out of the gate taking our “last minute” check in on a long weekend! Communication was seamless and she came to check in/walk London at the agreed upon times. We came to home to a happy puppy.”
“Esten is such a great help! He was able to help us with our dog after she broke her leg and had an ulcer in her eye. He was able to administer her drops/meds all while playing with her and making sure she had water and went out. Great sitter!”
About: If my animals could speak they would tell you they need alone time lol. They are never alone. Our house is a revolving door of our family coming and going. I am home every evening and weekend. Finding the "time" to add this to my life won't be difficult. I enjoy walking my own dogs every night so adding additional walks to my weeks is something I look forward too. My hours of availability for dog walking are : MONDAY TO THURSDAY: From Approximately 530 pm on. FRIDAYS: From approximately 130 pm on. SATURDAY and SUNDAY: All day All times are subject to change but would be happy to have a chat and confirm! ❤️ I have a fenced yard, a husband and 3 teenagers who love animals. I can crate your fur baby upon request, but otherwise I wouldn't. I love to walk and love going to the trails. I prefer not to go-to any dog park unfortunately.
About: Hi Pet Owners; NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I am an elementary school teacher by day and a dog walker/sitter by night. Dogs are and have always been my passion. For many years, I have provided daily care for pets while their owners were away, and took responsibility for routine duties (walks, putting out fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) while owners were at work. I understand that life gets hectic, so I like to support pet owners by vacuuming pet hair in the house, and bathing and grooming their fur babies. In the past, I have watched and walked anxious dogs. My philosophy is to use positive reinforcement to encourage dogs to display more acceptable behaviours, more frequently. I am fully available to attend to all of your animal's needs starting Friday night until Sunday, holidays and extended stays over the summer. Please check my availability as my summer is filling up. I live in a condo in Bowmanville. The building has a large courtyard where your dog can interact with other dogs if they like dog interactions. I also live close to several trails and safe roads with sidewalks. In my neighbourhood, there are many schools with large fields where I can take your dog to exert their energy.
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 my whole life, unfortunately my senior cat passed away last year so I’m looking to take care of some fur babies while I wait for the right new companion. I have experience with Siamese, Himalayan and tabby cats 🐈

“Joan was wonderful, our puppy felt comfortable right away. He had a great time and was very happy when we picked him up. She seems to love what she does and cares. Joan was very accommodating and very quick to respond. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you Joan.”
About: This is our first time getting on Rover but both my husband and I are pet parents and frequently pet sit for a number of friends and family when they travel. I’m an experienced pet parent with two dogs of my own, aged 5 and 6. They’re very friendly and loving and I am very familiar with the care, routine and attention dogs need every day. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level — I am happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they’re happy and settled. Your pet will have plenty of space and attention with me. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs some space to play and get some fresh air. It’s a non-smoking household and because I live with my husband and mother-in-law, someone will always be home and your pet won’t be left alone for longer than 20 mins if at all. I’m comfortable providing them with regular walks and potty breaks. My dogs are given pee breaks every 4 hours and two walks in the morning and at night right before we sleep. I’m also comfortable with maintaining consistent feeding schedules, playtime, and providing oral medication (what’s not in the list is obvious but I’m also great at cuddles and companionship). My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the pack when staying with us. I work a full time job but I’m mostly remote (I’m lucky). So I’m home throughout and able to give pets plenty of attention and regular breaks. My own dogs are already part of my daily routine with walks, feeding, playtime, and endless cuddles built in. On the rare occasion that I need to go into the office (like once a month but it’s very rare), my husband is home and helps care for the dogs. He is an equally attentive and loving pet parent so your fur baby will have someone around them to keep them safe, loved and cared for. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in a safe space. I have used rover to find sitters for my dogs too and it’s a top priority. Is the house truly dog friendly - no slippery floors, food lying around, chocolate wrappers, sharp edges… I scan for the little things. That is the exact level of attention I put into my home to make sure my dogs (and yours) are comfortable. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard so dogs can enjoy some outdoor time without having the risk of them wandering off. Our home is non-smoking and you can be sure that someone will always be in the house with the dogs, at all times. Before a stay, I’m happy to learn about your dogs routine, personality, feeds, comfort level, and any special instructions so I can keep their experience as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m also very mindful of introductions between dogs so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and has the space they need. Most importantly, I want you to have complete peace of mind when you’re away. So if you like, I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos (I personally like these) and follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“Melissa and her family were very warm and welcoming to me and Keiko. They took great care of her and updated me after a few hours to let me know how she was doing. I would definitely use them again. Kim”
“Kazi was a great host. Super easy to communicate with and gave thorough updates. Kiki had a great time and we found him happily napping when we came to pick him up. Would want to use her again and recommend her to others!”
“Thank you for Esten and Alfie looking after my pup so well, giving consistent updates and photos of my pup. Atlas enjoyed a lot with his stay he came back and fell right asleep. Thank you again! Hope to book you again soon!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, it was clear that you genuinely love and understand dogs. You took the time to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and messages. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for while I was away. You were attentive to every detail, from feeding and walks to making sure my dog got plenty of attention and affection. When I picked my dog up, he/she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pet, but you exceeded all my expectations. Thank you for treating my dog like part of your family. I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“I would like to thank Mohina for taking good care of Luna. I felt very confident leaving Luna with Mohina and her family. Luna got to have fun with their two dogs. I definitely would leave Luna in her care again.”
“Amanda was amazing to deal with. She watched our Abby very last minute for us and Abby had a great day with her. She made herself available for a quick meet and then picked up and dropped off which really helped me out. We will certainly be reaching out to her again in the future. Big thank you Amanda 🙏”
About: My entire life has been richly blessed by the presence of dogs. For over 17 years, I have had the joy and responsibility of being a dedicated dog owner, and my experience is rooted in a home filled with a vibrant pack of nine dogs, each of a different breed and size, who taught me the beautiful diversity of the canine world. While my family back home cares for them, I currently have my own faithful companion by my side—a constant reminder of the profound bond between a person and their pet. This lifelong immersion has given me a deep-seated passion for canine care that extends beyond my own animals. I have frequently provided care for the pets of friends and family, treating each one with the same love and attention I would my own. What I cherish most is getting to know each dog as the unique individual they are. I understand that every "fur baby" has their own distinct personality, preferences, and quirks, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to their care. I would be absolutely delighted to learn everything you are willing to share about your beloved companion—their favorite games, their daily routines, their little quirks, and any specific instructions you have. Please know that you can always feel comfortable letting me know precisely what to do and what to avoid; your guidance is my most valuable tool. It would be my genuine privilege and pleasure to provide your dog with a fun, safe, and nurturing experience, filled with engaging play and heartfelt companionship. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your wonderful dog. 🐾 My daily schedule is built around the needs of the pets in my care. I treat their routine with the same importance as any other essential daily commitment. The hands-on duties of pet care, like bathing, feeding, and play, are tasks I've always genuinely loved doing for my own dogs and my relatives' pets. I am truly excited to provide that same level of dedicated, hands-on love and attention to your furry baby! please do let me know of how you take care of your pet and I will maintain that for me and your dogs relationship on going.
“She was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was very caring, attentive, reliable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated and I could tell that he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
About: I am a dog lover. I have a toy poodle at home which is like family to me. I love small dogs and take care of them like family. I work from home and always available. Since I am self employed, can work my own hours. My toy poodle is very friendly and loves playing with furry friends. I have fenced backyard and a 3500 sqft 3 floor house. Lot of fun activities can be done within the house alone. Come over and see for yourself.
About: I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves dogs and people! I walk her 3 times a day. I am flexible with times throughout the day or evening. I can do single walks around the neighbourhood or trail walks. I always make safety a priority for your dog. I will keep the dogs on a leash with a harness / collar, and away from other dogs (in the neighbourhood) if that is requested. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions! I will have time throughout the day to spend with your pup ensuring that their stay / walk is enjoyable and they are getting the attention they require Boarding at my home: I live in Bowmanville and am home throughout the day and evening. We have a fenced in backyard with a park in behind the house. Your dog will be walked and fed according to your schedule. My dog will be very happy to have the company. I do not visit dog parks, or take your pet off leash if that is what is requested.
“Olivia was amazing with our pup! She took good care of our fur baby and home while we were gone! She was respectful and good about updates — always friendly and kind! We returned to a healthy, happy pup + a clean home! What more could you want?! We are looking forward to using Olivia again!”
About: We are lifelong dog lovers who provide safe, attentive, and trustworthy pet care. We work from home and have no kids so your fur baby gets all the attention :) You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Since we work from home all the days, your pet will enjoy consistent supervision, regular playtime, treats, and scheduled walks throughout the day as per your pets needs. We have a fully fenced yard where your fur baby can safely explore, stretch their legs, and play. Plus, our friendly 10 pound, 2 year old puppy is always excited to provide company.
“I absolutely love Hillary! She has excellent communication and always keeps me updated while she’s caring for my dog. My dog absolutely loves going there and always comes home completely pooped out from all the playtime! I feel very comfortable leaving him in Hillary’s care and would highly recommend her.”
“Mahan was so amazing with our little Benji. He felt comfortable and loved. She kept me updated with his day and sent pictures as well. I would recommend sending your fur baby to her, you won’t regret it!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

“Abbey is so great with our blind dog, Sunny. She is patient and takes her time with him. She ensures she has control of him at all times for safety. He gets excited to go out with her. We feel so lucky to have found Abbey. Thank you Abbey and Rover.”
“My first interaction using this app was with Amber. Amber was wonderful with our puppy! She had prompt communication, and was perfectly on time. Grateful to have such great help. Thank you Amber!!”
“Erinne was wonderful with our dog, Daisy! She was friendly, reliable, and clearly great with dogs. She was also able to accommodate a last-minute request, which was so helpful. Daisy was always happy to see her and came back from walks calm and content. We’d definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future 🐾”
“I had Zehta walk and care for my dog for seven days, and I was very impressed. She was caring, reliable, and always showed up on time. I really appreciated the regular updates and could tell Frieda was well looked after. Everything was handled efficiently and with genuine care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker with rescue experience and a true passion for what she does.”
About: I've cared for and trained a wide variety of small to larger dogs ever since I was a young girl, from puppies to seniors. Recently, my family had to say goodbye to our beautiful 15 year old furry friend Patches. I am looking to nurture this love of dogs through caring for local dogs in the community, requiring walks or boarding (in my home, with large fenced in backyard). I currently work part time as a fitness professional so have much time and positive energy to share with your precious friend. I am available for weekday, afternoon walks, according to the needs of your dog. This could be a individual or group leash walk, a social off leash park, or a swim at the lake, depending on our agreed upon arrangement. For boarding I am available 7 days a week with your dog being cared for in a loving home with myself, my husband, and our 2 adult children in post secondary studies. We are all very familiar, love connecting, playing with and caring for dogs. I have a large, fenced in yard and live in a lovely pet friendly community close to trails, on & off leash parks and Lake Ontario. I will respect how you wish for your dog to be cared for and enjoy open communication to ensure we are a suitable fit. With a professional background in fitness & wellness, you'll find me to be very safety conscious (current Standard First Aid & CPR) along with being a active, trusted certified Personal Trainer, Yoga & Pilates teacher for 2 local community centres. Having much experience interacting and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, I assure you your furry pal will be in loving hands. Additionally, I would enjoy sending you photos to see what they're up to.
About: I've lived with dogs for almost all of my life and have helped care for the pets of my friends and family when they've gone on vacation. I am used to taking dogs for long walks and performing basic grooming activities. I have experience caring for dogs with health problems and dogs that have an overabundance of energy. You can rest assured that I will cater to your pet's needs and ensure that while they are under my care they will have a wonderful and peaceful experience. I am currently unemployed and searching for work in my area of expertise. I have plenty of free time and am more than happy to spend that time caring for your pet. I'm available anytime of the week to help take care of your pet. My home has a fenced yard and I live with my three other family members. We will always have the time to watch over and care for your pet. My family loves going for walks and will have plenty of time and energy to take your dog for as many walks as they would like.
“I can’t say enough great things about Emma. From the first walk, it was clear how much she cares about dogs. Rocky was immediately at ease with her, and I could tell he was in great hands. Emma is reliable, punctual, and always goes the extra mile to make sure Rocky gets the exercise, attention, and fun he needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog walker who’s not only professional but truly passionate about dogs!”
“Catherine is wonderful. Met her yesterday and she came today for Ravynn's first walk with her. Catherine went through everything with me at the meet and greet, asking about my walking preferences etc. She covered every detail. A very kind and caring soul, I can tell. Will be using her regularly!”
“Olivia was great with fletcher. She arrived on time and gave him lots of love and attention. She sent lots of updates throughout the day. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the person friends, family, and neighbors would ask to look after their pets because they knew how much I genuinely enjoyed spending time with animals. While I’m new to Rover, caring for pets isn’t new to me. I’ve looked after dogs for family members and friends, whether that meant taking them for walks, spending time with them while their owners were away, or making sure they felt loved and cared for throughout the day. Outside of Rover, I’m a wedding photographer with flexible weekday availability. Since I’m already someone who loves being outdoors, staying active, and getting fresh air, dog walking felt like the perfect fit. I truly enjoy being around animals, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pup a fun walk, plenty of attention, and lots of care while you’re away! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m a photographer so I do have pretty flexible hours. I work mostly on weekends but I have a lot of extra time during week ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. During walks, I’ll keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of water and breaks when needed. For drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh water, food (if requested), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and kindness I would my own.
“We are so happy we found Amy! She is such a lovely person and my dogs absolutely loved her. I appreciated her communication and she was so accommodating. We will be very happy to call on her again. We would highly recommend her!”
About: Ever since I was 8 years old I always enjoyed taking care of our multiple family cats by feeding and spending quality time with them. I cared for my cat mango for 17 wonderful years and he meant the world to me. I also enjoy spending time with our family dog who we've had for 15 years. I would take him for walks, feed him, pet-sit him while my parents were away, and play with him at the park in his younger years. I have experience litter training cats and my former pet rabbit. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have many year's experience it's something I am passionate about. I also have a flexible work schedule which allows me to set my own routines without much interference. I've cared for pets for many years growing up as a child and into my adulthood, therefore it's something I really enjoy doing. In client's homes I would treat their pet as if it were my own and ensure they get the best care possible during the visit.
“Thank you Tricia for your help this week looking after Marley. You are so loving with Marley and seeing his excitement when he saw you the one day, I knew he was in good hands.”
“Amanda is consistently reliable and takes my nine month old retriever for significant walk. I love the Rover feature where Amanda can show me their walk route and how many bio breaks. She is fabulous with my dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Growing up with German Shepherds and now paw parent to a Golden Retriever. I’m currently part-time working throughout a full time job. My love for animals keeps me caring and wanting to assist local dog owners. They bring meaning to our day. I have a fenced yard to allow the dogs to run around out back. They also have an air conditioned and heated home to come into.
“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: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid. Recently I had 2-3 cats and I have been taking care of them for my friends for the last 3 years. All my friends rely on me for cat sitting whenever they are heading out. I am currently working full time work from home so I will be able to take care of your fur babies at any and every time for you while you away. Me and my brother both of us love cats and what do our best to give them 24/7 entertainment, play with them and cuddle with them.

“I can’t thank Vicki and her family enough for taking wonderful care of my 1 year old puppy, Daisy, while I was away for the long weekend! From the moment I met them, I felt at ease knowing she would be with such caring people. They provided her with plenty of playtime, walks, attention, love, made a special effort to stick to her routine, while also training! I'm walking a different pup these days. Just amazing bonuses! I also received updates and adorable photos that reassured me she was happy and well-loved. When I picked her up, Daisy was thriving and clearly had a great time! I highly recommend this amazing family to anyone in need of a loving pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“We are so happy with Melissa and her family and well they took care of Syrus while we were on vacation.

Thank you very much and we will definitely be using you again on our next trip!”
“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Joanne is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her family was wonderful, and Penny enjoyed lots of walks, attention, and affection while staying in their home. We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Cecily was wonderful with our old guy! Great communication, very kind and accommodating. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her, and would definitely book with her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”

“Mia had a wonderful time during her stay with Lori! Lori was able to accommodate my last minute request for care, and provided excellent communication with me before and during Mia's stay. I have already booked Mia to stay with Lori again. I'm so grateful to have found a lovely, kind, attentive, and responsible sitter for Mia!”

“Julia has a friendly and calming personality, and a very clean and welcoming home. She even had spa-like music on when Pompom and I arrived to help my kitty relax. We texted back and forth during the day to keep in touch. When I arrived she had everything all ready to go. I would not hesitate to take Pompom there again if needed :)”
