“Dyna had loads of fun exploring, socializing and relaxing during jer stay! Lots of updates kept us from missing her even more than we did. A great experience!”
“Kobi got some much-needed play time and I love that I know he'll be safe with Nelaida and Katie. Pick up and drop off work quick and easy love receiving pictures and updates on what he's doing and how he is. TYSM❤️”
“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!”
“Gabrielle is amazing! Right from our first meeting I knew she was going to take excellent care of our dog. Nala had the best vacation and so did we. I could tell from the updates and numerous pictures that she was happy and very well cared for. In fact her home life won't be as exciting as it was with Garbielle's daughter. We definitely recommend Gabrielle to look after your pet. She's a real pro at pet care, provides frequent updates and pictures so we felt very at ease while away.”
“Tammy watched my in-laws new puppy during my wedding week. My in-laws were nervous to leave their young pup but Tammy sent pictures during her stay which helped keep them comfortable knowing Pepper was well taken care of. They were soooo happy with how well Pepper was taken care of and would happily leave Pepper with Tammy again any time. Thank you a million times Tammy!!”
“I am so happy with Kasi. She would send updates of Roxy's stay and assured me she was doing great. Kasi was great to communicate with as well responded to questions in a timely manner. We will definitely send Roxy back the next time she needs boarding.”
“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!”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
About: I’ve been caring and keeping dogs company since I was 17. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and provide loving companionship for their pups. I’m a totally dog person-can’t imagine the world without them! I’m currently work from home, giving me plenty of flexible time to care for your pets. I’m fully available on both weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I live in a house with a patio and unfenced yard, offering plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. We’re just a 10-minutes walk from Peterborough off-leash dog park, perfect for adding some extra fun and adventure to your puppy’s day!
“Emily and Scott were amazing with my dog Sonny. They sent pics every day, took him to the park and trails. Sonny came home a very happy dog. I will use them again.”
“Caregivers extraordinaire! My 5 year old Italian Greyhound, Loki, was in great hands during an overnight stay with Dan and Cass. There were no shortage of blankets to make Loki feel very welcomed in their home providing the warmth and comfort that all Iggys enjoy. I felt very at ease knowing Loki was in a safe and happy environment and with a fellow playmate to keep him company. There will definitely be more sleepovers in the near future.”

I currently work from home 1-2 days a week and am available weekends and evenings to care for your pups!

Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Jessica took such great care of Molly! As an overprotective pet parent, it was so hard for me to leave my dog - but Jessica made sure to update me and send photos so I knew that Molly was in good hands! Her dog Snow is great too - very playful, but respectful of space if the other dog does not want to play. With a large outdoor run and spacious home, Molly definitely got her exercise. She’s so tuckered out and happy, and I am too! Thanks for taking care of my precious pup, Jessica!”
About: I am flexible in care and understanding every pet and pet parent has a unique need - not every situation will have the exact same care, and thats okay! :) I work remotely in my house. I have flexible working hours and can accommodate anything your fur baby needs. I am experienced with all animals from cats, dogs, rabbits, bearded dragons, fish, etc. I live in a bungalow with a fully fenced backyard and a secure gate. Feel free to ask me any questions to make you feel most comfortable about my care for your pet!

“You will NEVER find a better pet sitter anywhere. I have had Kat sit for my two cats several times while on vacation and I couldn't think of anything negative about her even if I tried. She is phenomenal with my two and they love her. She is kind, gentle and very pleasant to deal with. She is worth MORE than five stars!”
About: I have cared for my own pets, cats & dogs, since childhood. As a grown up, in addition to my own pets, I’ve volunteered in various roles for several animal rescues & shelters: fundraising, community events, transportation, adoption screener & foster mom! I’ve also provided doggie daycare, dog boarding & kitty visits thru my home based Purrs & Paws B&B business which I’ve since closed. I have cared for just about all sizes & breeds of dogs, from Yorkies to Great Danes! I have a special place in my heart for our senior fur friends & am experienced in administering various medications, bathing & brushing, ear cleaning (dogs) & nail trimming (cats).
About: With 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behaviour, comfort, and routine, whether that means keeping high‑energy pups engaged or helping senior dogs feel safe and supported. I’m experienced in administering insulin to diabetic dogs, as well as giving oral medications and eye drops with calm, confident handling. I know how important it is for pets with medical needs to have someone who is both gentle and precise, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach to care is rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. From daily walks and structured playtime to maintaining feeding schedules and monitoring overall well‑being, I make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and cared for like family. I’m currently retired and looking to fill my time caring for your pups and kitties I’m available most days in the week and a quite flexible with my schedule. I have a clean, smoke-free home. My yard is not fenced but will be walking your pups on leash. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood.
About: I've always lived with cats most of my life as ive lived in an apartment. I currently have a cat and her name is Poppy, I recently got her a few years ago and she is the first cat ive had that will actually play fetch with her spring toys, its so cute ^.^
About: Hi, I’m Lee, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and have had several dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give your dog the best experience possible. He will be stimulated and given affection so we can build a bond. I can also brush them and cut their nails. I will work with any dog, big or small and love them all. They all have unique personalities depending on their breed and background. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I work as a delivery driver which allows me to work when I want, so therefore I can make myself available for your dog when the opportunity presents itself. I can follow your instructions to best meet your needs for your dog. My goal is to be their next favorite person to see besides yourself.
“Would absolutely book again. Kayleigh was very informative about our cats - their behaviour, habits, energy levels, etc. - through descriptions and pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort being away from them for so long.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and pride myself in learning your animals cues and quirks to provide the best care! I have 3 of my own and love all energy levels! Currently working full time as a nurse looking to make some extra money looking after your furry friends! Would love to help you with your pet needs! I have a fully fenced back yard should your dog need to come to my place! Would be happy to come to yours! Have crates if needed also!
“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'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.
“Vanessa took excellent care of our cat Meeko while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that Meeko had everything she needed, and was very gentle and patient with her; our cat is quite shy, but Vanessa managed to bring her out of her shell quickly, which is an impressive feat! Vanessa was friendly, polite, and communicative all the way through, and we came home to a very healthy and happy kitty! We will definitely be inviting her back next time we go away - highly recommend.”
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.
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently help care for two cats in my household. I’ve learned that every cat is unique—some are affectionate, some are shy, and some are a little spicy! I love getting to know each cat at their own pace and never force interaction. Building trust is one of my favorite parts of cat sitting. As an Honours Zoology graduate with veterinary clinic experience, I combine my knowledge of animal behaviour with genuine patience and compassion to ensure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

“Kasi has been great to work with right from the start. She's very responsive and genuinely kind. When she came to meet Cheese we could immediately tell that she is great with dogs. Our little guy came home happy and tired. We will definitely be sending Cheese back for more days with Kasi (and her dogs and family).”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets, and spending time with them is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s slow morning walks, playtime, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.
About: I have taken care of my dogs, friends dogs and they enjoy coming to visit and having healthy doggie treats that I make here! All natural dehydrated liver. I am working from home so I am hands on 24/7! I operate a small farm with four sheep chicken cats and one big friendly dog. There is lots of room to roam here and my dog Ode loves to keep other dogs company while visiting! We would love to host your pooch or feline friend!
“Tammy was extremely friendly and provided us with a superb service. Our dog is a rescue, and as such we were worried she might have trouble with a new environment. We were, however, pleasantly surprised to see our puppy quickly getting along with Tammy’s dogs. Overall, I totally recommend Tammy, and would definitely book with her again.”
“Gabrielle was kind, caring and so patient with our dog. She truly cared and took the time to get to know our dog and it really showed. Our dog is very anxious, but Gabrielle was able to keep her calm, relaxed and happy. She is professional and very lovely to work with. We highly highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs ever since I was a little girl. I have taken cared of friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. Being around dogs makes my heart happy, with me your dogs will treated like royalty and be showered with love. -small dog only environment - I only book a maximum of 4 small dogs , plus my own dog,,so your dog will only be around 4 small dogs which makes care and attention in good quality. -this is a childfree environment so there is less risk at our house of injury or your dog being triggered by something a kid could do and less stressful. I provide a clean and quiet environment. My work is flexible, I can work from home. I can take time off from work if I have booking or fully booked, so that the dogs are not left alone for long hours. pls check the gallery of photos with captions. For boarding: check in or drop off is 3pm , check out or pick up is 11am , these are flexible depends on what we agree. Some of my clients live too far away for a meet and greet, so in those cases I’m happy to waive it. I’ve had many wonderful experiences welcoming dogs without a prior meet and greet, and it’s always been a great stay for both the pups and me! I have a fenced yard , and just outside my fenced yard is a huge baseball field for my Katie and yours to run around with me. -It is a must that all their shots and ticks& flea meds are up to date .
About: Hi! We are Star Sitters here on Rover, with 6 years of professional pet care and 18 with our own animals. Someone is always here in our calm, safe, and dog friendly home so your dog can spend the day with company instead of being home alone. We do live with our loveable Boston Terrier, Gus, and we are often found hiking on dog friendly trails on the weekend or spending time at the lake. We are very active, enjoy being outside and think dogs should be too - Gus has a lot of energy so daily excercise is key already here. I work as a professional planner and Scott works from home and we are both free on weekends with flexible schedules. We spend a lot of love and time on Gus, who, like us, loves being around other dogs. We would be happy to meet you and your doggy in advance so you can get to know us. Emily works in the office four days per week just a few minutes from home, Scott works from home. Neither of us work on the weekend. Our home is save for any animal - we're smoke free, drug free with no children. Gus loves other dogs and always enjoys having a friend around. Our back yard is mostly fenced in and it's tucked behind. The front is also mostly fenced with a small garden fence.
“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.”
“My dog was very comfortable and happy right away on meeting Lisa at her house. Great backyard and lots of space to explore and play inside as well. Friendly and asked all the right questions, would recommend.”

About: Hi I’m Doug I have owned mostly large working dogs since I was 10 years old . I currently have three dogs Cletus Betty and Chester . All of them are very friendly and well socialized. Cletus and Betty are American Bulldogs Chester is a French / English Bulldog mix . Puppies Sr dogs house training and administering medication are all things I have experience in . I am retired so my schedule is flexible according to your pets needs. I am on the property with the dogs all of the time . I live on 2 acres in the country surrounded by farms . I have a huge fenced in run with a custom built shelter for the dogs . I also live minute from trails to take the dogs on safe walks free from any traffic.
About: I had a family dog for 13 years. I have been on rover for a couple of years now and I have had all different kind of experiences through the app. I have had many different dog walking clients from puppies to senior dogs. I have done house sittings anywhere from 1 night to 5 week long stays, I’ve even just dropped in for a few hours to keep your animals company and take them on walks. I have looked after all kinds of dogs and cats and even chickens. I am so passionate about animals and making sure your animals are comfortable and happy during your time away! I just recently got 2 puppies so I have been training them and looking after them so I have recent experience with puppies as well. I currently am working part time but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate for your needs. If your animals can only be left alone for a certain amount of time I am more than happy to work around those hours. I typically don’t do house sitting in my own house. I feel it’s best for the animals to stay at their house so it’s an easier transition into having me look after them. The animal is typically a lot more comfortable having someone new around if it’s in their own home from my experience.
“Shelby was great! Miri has separation anxiety and Shelby helped by letting us do a meet and greet the day before her daycare. We handed over Miri quickly in the morning and Shelby kept me updated on how she was settling. Will definitely recommend her for anyone in the area. See you again Shelby next time we are in the neighbourhood. Cheers Jane and Miri”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Kat is an amazing hiuse/animal sitter. She goes above whats expected and keeps in close contact throughout her stay and sends lots of updates and pictures. She is very personable and clearly cares for your animals.”

About: I’ve had a dog around my whole life, my family has owned 3 dogs in my lifetime, my husband and I had a beautiful chocolate lab who crossed the rainbow bridge way too soon at only 3 days past his 3rd birthday. We now have a 2 year old English lab. My absolute dream would be to open a dog sanctuary and let all the dogs live their best life. I’m currently on maternity leave so my days are pretty open. I would need to bring my 1 yr old with me for walks as my husband works during the day so if your dog is ok with strollers perfect if not I can put my son in the carrier. I have an energetic 2 year old english lab who loves to play with other pups, he’s like a family member to us and yours will feel like one too!
“It was love at first sight for our Akita, Moka, when she met Marilyn. Although generally friendly, Moka is typically aloof with new people. However it was like she’d known Marilyn for years when they met, and she clearly enjoyed their nature walks while we were away. Even though we are back, I’m thinking I’ll need to at least do a weekly walk, so that Moka can see her new best friend!”
“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

“Dyna had loads of fun exploring, socializing and relaxing during jer stay! Lots of updates kept us from missing her even more than we did. A great experience!”
“Tammy watched my in-laws new puppy during my wedding week. My in-laws were nervous to leave their young pup but Tammy sent pictures during her stay which helped keep them comfortable knowing Pepper was well taken care of. They were soooo happy with how well Pepper was taken care of and would happily leave Pepper with Tammy again any time. Thank you a million times Tammy!!”
“I am so happy with Kasi. She would send updates of Roxy's stay and assured me she was doing great. Kasi was great to communicate with as well responded to questions in a timely manner. We will definitely send Roxy back the next time she needs boarding.”
“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!”
“Aleksandra took great care of Fiona during her weekend stay. She was responsive and flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and I could tell Fiona had been well looked after. Her calm and steady energy created a peaceful environment, which Fiona definitely appreciated. Thank you again for hosting her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life having grew up around multiple dog breeds both male and female!

I currently work from home 1-2 days a week and am available weekends and evenings to care for your pups! Work from home days are flexible depending on your needs I have a large fenced garden for roaming and fun and 1 super friendly golden girl (see profile pic) who wants to make friends with all. Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Jessica took such great care of Molly! As an overprotective pet parent, it was so hard for me to leave my dog - but Jessica made sure to update me and send photos so I knew that Molly was in good hands! Her dog Snow is great too - very playful, but respectful of space if the other dog does not want to play. With a large outdoor run and spacious home, Molly definitely got her exercise. She’s so tuckered out and happy, and I am too! Thanks for taking care of my precious pup, Jessica!”
About: I am flexible in care and understanding every pet and pet parent has a unique need - not every situation will have the exact same care, and thats okay! :) I work remotely in my house.

“Lisa was great She gave our Mackie a warm family atmosphere in her home and her dog and ours got along so feel it was like they were related. I have a feeling she spoiled him during his stay. She sent us pictures that prove this. Thanks Lisa and I would highly recommend her”
“Shelby was amazing! She took Daisy into her home and made her part of their family while she was there. Shelby even sent me pictures so that I would know our girl was okay. So VERY impressed!!!”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.
