“Lexi enjoyed her time with Melanie and she was very well looked after by her. The daily updates with pics was awesome to receive, it’s hard to leave your pet but when you have a good home you feel better and that is exactly how I felt because of Melanie and her care for Lexi.

“We had a great experience with Matthew watching our dog, Oakley. From the start, he was easy to communicate with, responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Oakley in his care. Oakley can be energetic and needs a good amount of attention, and Matthew handled him wonderfully. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.

When I picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and did not want to leave! He ate well during his stay, looked healthy, and showed no signs of stress or anxiety. He’s now fast asleep at home, which tells me he had a wonderful time and plenty of fun. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter.

While we were away we received daily updates with photos. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend!”

I was very happy with Maggie & Brian and felt that my dog was in good hands .”

I would recommend Jeff to everyone with no doubt. Thanks Jeff!”

“I can’t say exactly say why, but I’ve had terrible experiences with finding a reliable sitter that Lucy and I both liked, until now. I was leaving for the Caribbean and needed a reliable caregiver for Lucy that I could trust. Will was and is fantastic. We booked him for this weekend too and again it went seamlessly. There was something that went wrong in my home and I’m so grateful that Will handled it perfectly. Most importantly, he took really great care of Lucy and our home!”
“Emily did a fantastic job sitting Moose and Maverick. Never has anyone got close to them as quickly as she did. Normally they run and hide when someone visits. Emily got them to interact with he on the first visit.she is definitely a cat whisperer. When I came home they greeted me immediately. Which was unusual. They were very friendly, no hissing and stayed with me the rest of the night.I really think they were expecting Emily. I thank Emily for a job well done and look forward to having her look after Moose and Maverick in the future.”
“Heather took great care of our XL rottweiler/dogo mixed breed who is high energy and extremely intelligent. She left a thank-you card and provided photos of a very happy and entertained big-boy while we were away for the day in Toronto. We recommend and will be re-booking soon and often. -Stephen&Kristen”

“Shannon took excellent care of my brand new puppy! She provided me constant updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing while I was at work which allowed me to go about my day knowing my puppy was in excellent hands. Will definitely be booking Shannon again and recommending her to friends and family!”
“Caroline was awesome with my kitties and they were happy to see her again. Everything seemed to go smoothly, communication was good and both the cats and I were happy and satisfied!”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Lorraine to pet sit my two cats, Leia and Fiona, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, Lorraine impressed me with her promptness and openness. She was incredibly responsive to my initial inquiry and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Lorraine’s years of experience and extensive knowledge with animals were immediately apparent. She handled Leia and Fiona with such care and expertise, making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her visits. Her kindness and bubbly personality shone through in every interaction, and it was clear that she genuinely loves what she does. One of the highlights of having Lorraine as a pet sitter was the many picture updates she provided. Every day, I received adorable photos of Leia and Fiona, along with detailed reviews of each visit. Lorraine’s updates were so thorough and reassuring, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Overall, Lorraine is an exceptional pet sitter. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to her work make her the best choice for anyone in need of pet care. Leia and Fiona were in excellent hands with Lorraine, and I will definitely be reaching out to her for all my future pet sitting needs!”
About: Cats are always welcome in our home! 🐱 I grew up with cats because my brother always had them, so I’m very comfortable caring for them and understand their unique personalities and needs. I also have hands-on experience cat sitting, and my own dog is calm, friendly, and used to being around cats. Whether your cat needs a cozy place to stay while you’re away or plenty of love and attention, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I understand how important consistency and comfort are, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and well cared for from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. We have both a secure fenced backyard and a deck, but I never allow pets outside unsupervised. I don’t even let my own dog out on the deck without me being there, and I’ll provide the same level of care for your cat. If your cat is accustomed to spending time outdoors and you’d like them to enjoy some fresh air, I’m happy to accommodate that but only under my direct supervision. They will never be left outside alone. Inside, your cat will have a safe, clean, comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.
“Great communication! Meredith is lovely and truly cared about my cat. I was anxious about leaving her all by herself but I needn't have worried. I got lots of updates and pictures/videos. Everything was perfect when I got home from my vacation. So appreciate you.”
About: I have had pets of my life. I currently own 2 dogs and 2 turtles. I have also taken care of friends' pets when they were travelling alone. I can handle medicines and injections. I have had a dog with leishmania and also took care of a dog with diabetes many times. I can also arrange safe feeding spots and schedules if the dog needs them. I currently have my furred baby and 2 turtles. I have been a dog owner since I was 15 and never stopped since. I have taken care of dogs with different needs, from a diabetes to a rescued dog who had special feeding needs. They are all welcomed and loved. Currently on a hybrid work with alternate days with my husband. I can adapt to any needs as safe space, crate, feeding schedule, medications. I have the will, the possibilities, and the experience.
“We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time. I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends. I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful with our cat Dinah. She was very patient, spent lots of time with her, and genuinely tried to win her over rather than just doing the basics and leaving. Leanne followed all our house instructions carefully, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving Dinah in her care and we'll definitely be booking with Leanne again!”
About: I’ve worked one-on-one with cats since I was around 14 years old. I first started at the Burlington Humane Society where I worked with cats of all sizes breeds and temperaments. My volunteer work included feeding cats cleaning their shelter spaces and making sure they were comfortable and cared for each day. I also prepared different types of food for cats with specific needs and helped give medications when needed. Part of my role included keeping track of food intake bowel movements and other important health information. I believe the little details can make a big difference when caring for animals. Through my experience at the humane society and at home I’ve met many amazing pets and learned that every animal has different comfort levels and boundaries. I’m very patient understanding and respectful of each pet’s personality no matter their temperament.
About: Cats have been a part of my life for four years! I currently have two of my own, so I know firsthand what they need to feel safe and comfortable at home. Friends regularly trust me to look after their cats too, whether that’s dropping them off with me or me heading over to their place. I offer all drop in services so your cat stays in their own environment, stress-free and well looked after while you’re away
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and currently have three of my own, two older cats and one younger, so I’m very familiar with different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I have experience with shy, playful, and senior cats, and I’m comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I take pride in keeping litter boxes clean, maintaining feeding routines, and making sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel cared for, relaxed, and loved.
“Emily is amazing! She is super friendly with a lovely, sparkling personality. She has experience with older cats. My cat, Dipsy, is 16 and Emily took great care in following my care instructions. She stayed the whole week in our home, caring for Dipsy when we went on vacation. Dipsy warmed up quickly to Emily. He can be a picky eater, but he ate happily under Emily's gentle care.”

About: Since I was a child I have always had at least 1 dog in my home! As a work from home mom, I am able to provide all the the care and attention your dog may need. We are a family that absolutely loves dogs and there is no doubt your dog will receive a loving environment whilst with us. I am currently working part-time from home and so am able to give your pup the attention it needs during the day and go out for regular walks. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced in back yard and have a friendly 4 year old cockapoo who will keep your pup company. I am happy to be flexible when it comes to the sleeping arrangement of each pup, if you would prefer me to crate your dog at night, I will gladly do that.

Thank You Cyndy - Oreo will see you again !”
About: Our family love all pets, and our little husky is very calm and loves playing around with all breeds. I've grown with dogs and other kinds of pets all my life, back in Mexico, friends and family would trust their furry friends with us. Not a professional groomer or anything but have raised, trained and cared for many, I used to go help our vet, when I wanted to be one as a kid. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention. Our husky, Blue, is my walking buddy—we usually go on a couple of walks a day, and she also enjoys hanging out in the backyard or napping on the couch. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to take your dog along to the dog park, just like I do for Blue. I can give oral medications if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I typically go on 2–3 walks a day and have plenty of time for play breaks, backyard time, or just keeping your pup company. My daughter has a few activities during the week, but there’s always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Feeding times can be adjusted to match your dog’s routine, though I usually feed Blue twice a day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Our home is dog-friendly, with a fenced backyard where pups can play and explore securely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on the couch or find a cozy spot of their own. I always keep an eye on interactions to make sure everyone feels safe and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions carefully—whether that means sticking to a strict schedule, avoiding certain foods, or keeping walks calm and controlled. You can trust that your dog will be treated like part of the family here.

About: I have had my dog for 10 years now, and I absolutely adore taking her on walks and going on adventures together. I was her main trainer in the family, even though I was merely 14 at first! I am 24 now and my love of dogs has only grown. My family and friends often have me dog-sit for them, because I truly enjoy any time spent with our furry friends, and because I believe it is incredibly important to have someone savvy take care of your dogs! I always am researching and learning more about dogs to make sure that I am giving my girl the absolute best. I have helped train puppies, taken care of seniors, and have cared for reactive dogs. I would love to help take care of your furry family members and give them all the pets they want! I am currently in a college program that is primarily asynchronous, and therefore, my schedule is pretty open! With proper notice, I can be available on any day of the week. I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you already have set for your dog, and I am happy to reinforce any training methods you are working on! I do not mind if there are special requirements, as your dog's safety and comfort is the most important thing.
About: I'm finally making my return to Rover! And bringing back much more experience, knowledge, and skills. 🙋🏻♀️ For the past few years, I have trained and boarded a variety of dogs - most of them being rescues. ❤️ When I first signed up to be a foster paw-rent, I dove into the deep end in order to be ready to receive a new dog and provide the best care and home for him. Our first foster dog ended up have a whole host of behavioural issues that really helped us learn how to deal with dogs that may need a little extra attention. I have very valuable experience with reactive dogs that also deal with separation anxiety. Also, my former roommate and I rescued a pup who now is full time with her (I moved into my own house) and even has her own kids book series! (Penny Tries to Boil the Ocean) I am an active individual and enjoy going on adventures! I will protect your dog from anyone and anything so your furry friend will be safe with me and will also feel loved and have lots of fun! I used to be a former lifeguard/swim instructor so if your dog loves to swim, we're meant to be! :) My partner is a paramedic and when he's not at work, he loves to partake in the walking/training/entertainment. I am also flexible so you never have to feel stressed when working with me. I am quick to answer in case you need to reach me. I am against littering so rest assured that I will be a good poop-picker-upper! PS, if you want a mini-photoshoot of your dog while you're at work/away, I'm your person. If you have any questions or want to jump on a phone call, just send me a message. I hope to meet you and your furry baby soon! I'm in tech and work full-time at my home office. It also gives me flexibility so for the most part, I can accommodate different schedules whether if it's for pickup/drop off or for your dog's routine. I live in a lovely neighbourhood and am in a house that is dog-friendly with a small backyard. We have a cat at home, who only gets along with dogs.

About: IG: Lady.rav Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs throughout my entire university journey, three years of walks, cuddles, and drop-ins for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From bouncy puppies still learning the ropes to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I’ve handled it all. I’m also a cat owner myself, so animals truly are a part of my everyday life. Whether your pup is a high-energy large breed or a small dog who just wants company, they’ll be in fun, caring hands with me. As a university student, my days are flexible and I structure my time around the dogs I care for. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, and I’m always reachable and responsive when pet parents need updates or last-minute bookings. Since I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in their own familiar environment — no stress, no adjustment period. I treat every client’s home with full respect, follow any house rules or routines you have in place, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before anything else. You’ll get updates and photos throughout so you always know your pup is safe and happy.

I’m also very reliable and will keep you updated so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning and afternoon visits, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for in a familiar environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and visits to ensure pets stay safe. I create a calm, positive environment where pets feel relaxed and supported. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Emily has been absolutely wonderful with Charlie. She is accommodating and attentive, and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her for any pet needs. Happy to have such a kind and caring person to help when I need it.”
“This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been smoother. Lorraine was very responsive and reassuring. We were kept abreast of her entire interaction with Jasper including photos of the walk and details of their time spent together. We would highly recommend Lorraine and know we won’t hesitate to use her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs that range in many different breeds and sizes. I’ve either walked/sat my friend’s dogs or I’ve taken care of my cousins dog for an average of a week! I have finished working full time for my co-op and will in Oakville and fully available for the summer. In September I will be living in Guelph for school but I have an open available for summer! I am able to stop by to feed and let your dog out, take dogs on walking ranging in length to fit your dog’s needs (or even take them to a dog park!), I am also available to keep your dog company during the day if you find your dog gets anxious without people in your home!

While we were away we received daily updates with photos. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend!”

I would recommend Jeff to everyone with no doubt. Thanks Jeff!”

About: Our family love all pets, and our little husky is very calm and loves playing around with all breeds. I've grown with dogs and other kinds of pets all my life, back in Mexico, friends and family would trust their furry friends with us. Not a professional groomer or anything but have raised, trained and cared for many, I used to go help our vet, when I wanted to be one as a kid. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention. Our husky, Blue, is my walking buddy—we usually go on a couple of walks a day, and she also enjoys hanging out in the backyard or napping on the couch. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to take your dog along to the dog park, just like I do for Blue. I can give oral medications if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I typically go on 2–3 walks a day and have plenty of time for play breaks, backyard time, or just keeping your pup company. My daughter has a few activities during the week, but there’s always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Feeding times can be adjusted to match your dog’s routine, though I usually feed Blue twice a day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Our home is dog-friendly, with a fenced backyard where pups can play and explore securely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on the couch or find a cozy spot of their own. I always keep an eye on interactions to make sure everyone feels safe and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions carefully—whether that means sticking to a strict schedule, avoiding certain foods, or keeping walks calm and controlled. You can trust that your dog will be treated like part of the family here.
“I definitely will bring my dog back to Raquel. Picking him up after a week’s vacation I was amazed he had no stress symptoms from excessive licking, nail biting etc…. Sully obviously felt safe was happy and well cared for. As a Service Dog separation can be very difficult for us both. I’m positive Sully gives Raquel a 5⭐️ too.”
“Anne is an awesome dog sitter. A very knowledgeable dog trainer. She provides walks over and above the expectations as she is an avid hiker. She is kind and provides a comfortable setting just for your dog. She sends pictures and updates while you are away. Can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Mana and Ahmed are very caring and responsible. As dog parents themselves, they understand Sushi’s individual needs and are willing to accommodate. Their house is fully dog-approved with many dog beds and toys available. Mana communicated with me constantly and provided lots of pictures during each stay. Sushi is happy to go to Mana’s house every time! I feel reassured leaving my fur baby with Mana and Ahmed.”
“Our dog Onyx had an awesome time with Meredith. This was our first leaving Onyx with someone other than family and Meredith made it easy. Meredith communicated with us regularly and shared pictures which let us know Onyx was doing just fine. We would be happy leave Onyx with Meredith again and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who treats their pets as if they were her own. Thank you Meredith for making our first experience such a positive and happy one. Sergio, Marlene and Onyx”
“Patricia was a perfect sitter for our dog. From our first interaction, she was timely, courteous and accommodating. And we truly felt like she had our pet's best interests in mind. We received daily updates and photos to put our minds at ease, and my kids enjoyed seeing the updates she provided. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend.”
“Apple loved her time with Marc, Christina, kids and Roxy. Lovely family and we felt very safe when we left Apple with them for 5 days stay. Will definitely go back to Marc & Christina for our future needs.”
“Irene is wonderful to have sit my very active Golden Retriever. She is very good with her and her love of dogs is apparent. She does not care about all the dog hair she sheds nor the fact he pulls when walking. She handles her very well. I have used her several times and very happy every time. She is a super kind and friendly woman and my dog enjoys her time there.”
“Koji and Diane were great pet sitters that took great care in making Bella comfortable and safe. They were very accommodating with Bella while she dealt with recovering from a cut on her ear and had to wear a cone and administered ear drops without hesitation.”
“Thank you so much Blaine, for treating Leo like your own. Will definitely board Leo with you again. Appreciate the time chatting about the time spent when I picked him up. Thank you.”
