“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!”
“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!”
“Joanne has been amazing, we just recently started with some walks and had our first weekend of boarding and we are so glad we found Joanne ! She is great at keeping us posted with photos and how the days are going. Our Leo loves her and she takes amazing care of him. We were able to have our first family camping weekend and knowing he was well taken care of kept me at ease. Thank you Joanne!”
“Alessia was wonderful in watching my dog over a weekend! This was my first time leaving him overnight with someone else and she was amazing in keeping him safe and happy ? I also loved how responsive she was in her responses and appreciated her flexibility when I had to request an additional night for her to watch him. Would highly recommend Alessia’s services and would book with her again!”
“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!”
“Roxy, my six month old pup, had a great time at Gretel's. Gretel sent lots of videos while I was away so I could see how she was doing, and was also flexible with the pickup time. Roxy was very tired (in a good way) after playing with the other dogs there all weekend. Thanks!”
“Loved getting the photo updates and that Carl had friends to play with during his visit. They followed all instructions and Bryan and his wife were super friendly and communicative. Will be back if I’m ever in the area!”
“Allyson and her family were absolutely fabulous with Chica\! From the very beginning, Allyson’s communication was stellar—she was incredibly responsive, kind, and so accommodating, especially when I had to make last\-minute changes to drop\-off and pick\-up times\. They sent me lots of pictures throughout Chica’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for\. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’ve already booked Chica’s next stay with Allyson and her family\! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and caring home for their pet\. 🐾❤️”
“This is a repeat visit with Loghan and he’s great! Always kind and professional. Our pup comes home happy, healthy and exhausted from lots of outdoor activity-perfect! We’ve already booked our next visit.”
“My pup is a nervous, skittish rescue who needs a lot of love and patience. Jessica was able to accommodate her needs, making sure that she was eating and drinking despite her resistance. Her dog, Snow, was friendly and I could see her dog and mine hanging out together in the photos and videos she sent. Jessica was very accommodating for drop off and pick up times when plans didn’t quite go my way. I’m glad to have found someone close by who I can trust for future stays!”
“Esten and Maddie were fantastic with Callie! Their house is super dog friendly and they kept us updated throughout her stay. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Maggie and her family are terrific with my small dog Abby. Abby is overjoyed to go to Maggie's house, a sure sign that things go well for her there -- and apparently she doesn't miss us much, so I know she's well treated. Maggie keeps us up to date with pictures too, which I appreciate.”
“Thanks so much for taking such great care of Cabo for us!! We know when he is with you he is happy and safe!! He is even excited when we get on your street to drop him off!!😃🐾🐕”

“It was great to have Alyssa cat sit for us. She was thorough, conscientious about all details, and took time to get to know our pets and included play time in the visits. She sent us pictures and videos and kept in touch. She responded quickly to all messages and made everything easy for us. She built trust from the start. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to booking with her again soon.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.
“Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family cared for, entertained and safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to leave your home in tip-top shape.
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 have taken care of cats from a young age. Through the years I have also helped with dogs and cats within the same house. And I always love getting to know the unique personality that every cat or any pet has.
About: I have always loved taking care of pets, whether it be walking dogs, pet sitting for friends or overnight house/pup sitting. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I just moved back to Belleville and am relatively flexible! I am in between jobs so am more than happy to spend lots of time playing with your pup(s). I am also able to travel if it is a house sitting gig (Kingston, Toronto, Montreal, PEC etc. ) so reach out if you have something in mind! Willing to be flexible to the dogs needs! I am active and love going on walks and can do so as often as needed !!
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.
“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!”

“Bryan and Raisa Thanks so much for having Murphy yesterday and sending pics that put us at ease since this was his first visit. It seems Murphy had a great time he’s been sleeping ++ since he’s been home ;) Thanks again!”
“Our puppy has done a few days of Daycare with Kasi now, and today we needed a bit more time as I was going for day surgery, Kasi was incredibly accommodating and I didn't worry about our little guy for even a second today. I just knew he was in great hands!! I would highly recommend Kasi.”

“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Thank you Maggie for looking after our doggy so well on short notice! The updates and photos were great and gave me peace of mind knowing he was having fun and well cared for. Thank you!!”
“Marta was amazing with both dog and cat. I have a senior dog and Marta was able to handle him perfectly. We couldn’t find a sitter for our cat and because my cat has not had a good time with a sitter before, he is very skittish and has some separation anxiety. We asked Marta if she would be able to accommodate the cat too and she was very understanding. Amazing part is when we took my cat to meet them, the cat just loved her daughter, I have never seen that cat like someone so fast (not even my husband). I was very comfortable leaving both my babies with Marta, I got pictures all day. We would definitely be looking to book again with Marta. ❤️”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog here. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we knew Hua was in great hands. She was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, ensuring our dog received plenty of love, exercise, and proper meals.”
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 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.
About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!
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.

“Natalya, came on fairly short notice to help walk our very energetic dog. She was great to communicate with and kept us in the loop with lots of pictures and videos.

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.

We feel very confident that Cali in such caring hands. We would highly recommend Darwin”

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.

“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!”
“Joanne has been amazing, we just recently started with some walks and had our first weekend of boarding and we are so glad we found Joanne ! She is great at keeping us posted with photos and how the days are going. Our Leo loves her and she takes amazing care of him. We were able to have our first family camping weekend and knowing he was well taken care of kept me at ease. Thank you Joanne!”
“Alessia was wonderful in watching my dog over a weekend! This was my first time leaving him overnight with someone else and she was amazing in keeping him safe and happy ? I also loved how responsive she was in her responses and appreciated her flexibility when I had to request an additional night for her to watch him. Would highly recommend Alessia’s services and would book with her again!”
“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!”
“Roxy, my six month old pup, had a great time at Gretel's. Gretel sent lots of videos while I was away so I could see how she was doing, and was also flexible with the pickup time. Roxy was very tired (in a good way) after playing with the other dogs there all weekend. Thanks!”
“Loved getting the photo updates and that Carl had friends to play with during his visit. They followed all instructions and Bryan and his wife were super friendly and communicative. Will be back if I’m ever in the area!”
“This is a repeat visit with Loghan and he’s great! Always kind and professional. Our pup comes home happy, healthy and exhausted from lots of outdoor activity-perfect! We’ve already booked our next visit.”
“My pup is a nervous, skittish rescue who needs a lot of love and patience. Jessica was able to accommodate her needs, making sure that she was eating and drinking despite her resistance. Her dog, Snow, was friendly and I could see her dog and mine hanging out together in the photos and videos she sent. Jessica was very accommodating for drop off and pick up times when plans didn’t quite go my way. I’m glad to have found someone close by who I can trust for future stays!”
“Esten and Maddie were fantastic with Callie! Their house is super dog friendly and they kept us updated throughout her stay. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“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.”
“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.”

I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”
