“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Jillian provided great care for our senior dog and kept us well updated for her entire stay. We would absolutely book with Jillian again in the future and are thrilled to have a trustworthy sitter for our precious dog.”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“I love how much Ginger gets excited to stay with Anne and Andrew (& their dog, Winter!). It feels like Ginger’s second home and I’m so grateful to have found such wonderful sitters for her! Anne always shares lots of photos and updates. The best!”
“Aditya and Ipshita took amazing care of my dog and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and messages — it was clear my pup was happy and well looked after. I’ll definitely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“Dale was great with our 10 month old Chihuahua Rango. He hasn’t had much socializing because of Covid, so we were weary of leaving him with anyone at all, but Dale made us feel so at ease with leaving him with her. She sent daily updates/pictures of them walking and him resting, so we knew he was doing fine…we will definitely be rebooking when we need her!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.
“Sheila watched our pups for the second time for 9 days and we could not have been happier! We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing they were being so well taken care of. She treated them like her own and made sure my picky girl was always fed, no matter what! Thank you Sheila for making our babies feel comfortable, safe and happy. We will definitely be using Sheila in the future!”
“Melanie was wonderful. We did a meet and greet before taking care of Mikey. Melanie is very warm and friendly and Mikey had a great day with her. She sent videos and pics of their time together. Mikey is a senior so he's pretty laid back and quiet, but he was quite happy to have Melanie here for company and getting outside. He was great when I got home as well. I would highly recommend Melanie. Hopefully we can use her services again soon. Thank you”

“Ellie is very kind and accommodating! My cat Sophie can be a bit shy when meeting new people but she has been very patient as Sophie gets to know her. I will be continuing services in the future. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. With these jobs, I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside very intelligent and experienced dog trainers, giving me some beneficial knowledge to use and share! Things about me to help ease your mind: • Pet first aid certified (through The Hound Lounge Inc. and Aldergrove Animal Clinic) • Capable of medication administration (oral, topical, injection) • Able to do nail trims and ear cleanings (please note I will not be able to perform these if your pet is showing signs of stress - but I’ll always try my best!) • Comfortable with any breed, size and age • As previously mentioned, lots of professional experience through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, animal shelters, pet stores and previous dog walking/pet sitting jobs. My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care! My communication skills are strong; and I like to include pictures in my updates (if given permission), as pet photography is another hobby of mine. ☺️
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and experience caring for them at every stage of life. I’m attentive to the little details - like giving medications on time, keeping litter boxes fresh and clean, and noticing subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I know how to earn the trust of shy or senior cats and keep playful ones entertained and safe. My goal is always to make sure your feline feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Danielle did an amazing job with our cats even though we gave short notice. She really went the extra mile to help us out and left detailed Rover cards with great pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica stayed in our home with our two cats for the week and was great at keeping us in the loop with photos and updates as we had asked. We felt totally at ease knowing she was there and were able to enjoy our vacation!”
“Ashley was absolutely excellent in looking after our cat Gracie! She came round for a house visit and was very diligent in ensuring she had all the info she needed to do a great. Gracie did have some medical issues and Ashley was awesome at giving meds and checking in with us frequently. Would highly recommend!! We got on so well Ashley will be coming back to house sit and pet sit this summer!”
About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.
About: 🐱 About Me: Patient, Attentive Care for Your Feline Friends! Hi, I'm Natasha! As any cat lover knows, kitties rule the house, and they all have completely unique personalities. Some are social butterflies who crave chin scratches and laser pointer chases, while others prefer to observe you from a safe distance atop a bookshelf. My approach to cat care is entirely relationship-based and patient. I never force interaction; instead, I let your cat set the pace, earning their trust through quiet observation, respect for their boundaries, and sticking strictly to their established routines. What a Typical Visit Looks Like: Fresh Food & Water: Strict adherence to your feeding schedule (wet food prep, exact measurements, or specific medication schedules). I always wash bowls and refresh water fountains or dishes. Meticulous Litter Box Maintenance: A clean box keeps cats happy and healthy. I scoop thoroughly during every single visit and keep the surrounding area tidy. Enrichment & Play: If your cat is playful, I’m ready with the feather wand, crinkle balls, or laser pointer. If they love mental stimulation, I'm happy to set up treat puzzles. Quality Companionship: For shy or independent cats, I’m perfectly content sitting quietly on the floor, reading a book or working, just offering calm company so they don't feel entirely alone. The "Headcount" Rule: I never leave a visit without physically spotting your cat to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and accounted for—even if they are a master of hiding!
“Kristie was wonderful with our cats. They were comfortable with her right from the first meeting. Kristie responded quickly to messages and questions and sent updates and photos with each visit.”
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats’ unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors, and know how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and providing cozy spaces where cats feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, energy, and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. With my flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, I can give your cat plenty of attention, play, and companionship. Your cat will be cared for with the same warmth and devotion I gave my own feline friends, making them feel happy and comfortable in my care. 🐾
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!
“A charming caring lady who will do her best with your cat! My cat liked to hide under the bed, but Kimberly was able to coax her out for socializing and meals. I will definitely be using her again if travelling abroad! 5 stars!”

“Rieko is amazing! I'm a nurse with 12hr shifts and she was very accommodating by letting me drop her off early in the morning on my way to work. She answered every message nearly instantly and gave me updates throughout the day. he sent me lots of pictures of Lana playing and enjoying the outdoors. Lana didn't want to leave at the end of the day! My puppy was so well looked after and was exhausted by the time I picked her up. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, highly recommended!”
“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”
“Angi was great with Kaya - definitely recommend her to take care of your furry friend. Kaya came back home happy and healthy and had a great time! Angi sent us pictures and updates throughout the day and she also accommodated our schedule which was very helpful :)”

She also gets to play with both Max and Josie, Cindy’s cute fur babies. She sends us photos of Maui every time and gves updates. We recommend Cindy, without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM.

In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

“Carley was amazing! From the moment I met her, I didn't worry one bit about our dog being in her care. She was responsible, communicative, flexible and you could tell our dog enjoyed his stay. She did everything to make sure he felt safe, assured and gave him lots of love. I would highly recommend her services!”

About: I love dogs and will take care of yours like my own: extra snuggles when they miss you. I have owned and trained three dogs and treats are the best tools to keep the experience positive for all. Our dog Winter loves all friendly dogs and would always welcome a playmate. She is used to having and sharing our home with other dogs. Walking a pet at the end of a work day is wonderful way to know the day is over. Dogs always bring a smile to my face and the stress is gone! I will be happy to share photos of your fur baby when you are away: make you feel not as far away from them. We know you miss them. Lol I am currently at home so lots of time with your dog and lots of playing and walking outside will be provided. Your pet will come back home tired! We have a large yard on a quiet country road. Your dog will spend lots of time outside getting exercice and socialization with our dog Winter.
“This was a fantastic first-Rover experience! We were hesitant to leave our two dogs with someone new, but Melanie was incredibly attentive & caring, and she was a pleasure to interact with. They went for a long walk and came home with us tuckered out from a great day with Melanie and her pups. She even recorded all of their water and bathroom breaks! We were sent amazing video updates all day and put our minds at ease. Thank you again for a great experience. We highly recommend!”

About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!

While I am currently fostering and unable to offer in-home boarding, I focus my services on making sure your pet feels safe and secure during visits. With clear, detailed instructions, I am committed to providing a seamless and comforting experience for your furry friend while you are away.

“My pups love Ellie! They have had 2 walks with her and I would not hesitate to schedule a 3rd! Ellie was on time for both walks, very communicative, gave great reports after the walks. She spent time with the pups after the walks and always freshened up with water. We appreciate you Auntie Ellie!”

This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. With these jobs, I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside very intelligent and experienced dog trainers, giving me some beneficial knowledge to use and share! Things about me to help ease your mind: • Pet first aid certified (through The Hound Lounge Inc. and Aldergrove Animal Clinic) • Capable of medication administration (oral, topical, injection) • Able to do nail trims and ear cleanings (please note I will not be able to perform these if your pet is showing signs of stress - but I’ll always try my best!) • Comfortable with any breed, size and age • As previously mentioned, lots of professional experience through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, animal shelters, pet stores and previous dog walking/pet sitting jobs. My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care! My communication skills are strong; and I like to include pictures in my updates (if given permission), as pet photography is another hobby of mine. ☺️
“We had a great experience with Ethan! He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. Finlee (our Staffy mix) absolutely loved him — I haven’t seen her smile that big in a while. She was always so excited to see him, and he did a great job getting her nice and tired. He really takes the time to understand her personality and needs, which makes us feel safe and confident leaving her in his care. We’re definitely looking forward to booking more walks and dog sitting with him! We would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for services. Thank you again Ethan!”
About: I will go above and beyond for your pet. I will treat your pet like I would my own. I’ve been around animals all of my life. Anything you need, please let me know. I rescued a cat, Jaxon. He’s 8 years old. He’s treated like a king in my house. It’s his world and I’m just living in it :) I like to clean the litter as soon as the animals use it. Happy to brush any animals if they like it, mine loves it. Food, meds or any special treats, happy to serve up! Fulfilling your requests and needs is what I’m all about.
About: I spent my childhood helping my grandparents take care of animals at their boarding kennel and have been a huge animal lover ever since. I have had several animals of my own (dogs, cat, fish, & bunny). I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have started offering pet-sitting services, locally & abroad, for the past three years. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they’re comfortable in their own home environment while you’re away. You can count on me to provide not just the basics - food, walks, and play - but also companionship, calm presence, and genuine care. I have experience caring for senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I understand how to move at their pace, notice the little signs when they’re tired or uncomfortable, and keep them feeling safe and loved. I run (mostly-online) businesses that provides a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I can work around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I am adaptable and reliable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or playtime. Safety is always my top priority - I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and loved, and your home is cared for just as you left it.

“Cindy was fantastic! From the moment we met her we knew she was going to be great! We felt very comfortable having her walk Bauer while we were away! Thank you so much!!”

I can help with feeding, walks, companionship, plant care, mail/package collection and any other everyday household needs while you’re away. I also have experience caring for animals with medical needs, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra support. This includes pets who are blind, have hearing loss, require oral medication, insulin, allergy care and heart medication. I’m attentive to details, comfortable following care instructions and careful about monitoring changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, mobility or comfort. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your pets, their routines, their care needs and any important details ahead of time. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel safe, cared for and settled at home! I am self-employed, so I have flexible availability and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week and structure my time around each pet’s regular schedule. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their own home and regular routine while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I provide care in the client’s home, so my focus is on keeping pets safe, comfortable and settled in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines. Before a booking, I like to review care instructions, health needs, emergency contacts, vet information, home access details and any household routines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food, medications and anything that could affect a pet’s safety. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy, collecting mail/packages, caring for plants and following household instructions.
“Thank you so much Kevin for helping us out last minute! Max was so happy when we came home. Kevin was great he was on time and gave us pictures of the walk. Our dog Max was so happy having Kevin come by and taking him for a walk. Thank you so much again for helping us out!”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.

About: 🐾 About Me: Professional Care, Puppy-Level Enthusiasm! Hi, I'm Natasha! I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs a structured routine, a growing puppy working on their manners, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet couch to snooze on, I tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. Why Choose Me? Structured & Mindful Approach: I don't just "watch" dogs; I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and comfort levels. If you are working on specific training milestones (like crate training, loose-leash walking, or socialization), I am happy to help maintain that consistency while you're away! Active & Adaptive: From energetic hikes and outdoor play to calm, enriching indoor puzzles, I adapt the day's pacing to match your dog's age and energy level. Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.

This wide variety of experience sets the standard of providing the best care for your best friend!

“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”

“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless.

Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”

She sent daily updates/pictures of them walking and him resting, so we knew he was doing fine…we will definitely be rebooking when we need her!”

“Sheila watched our pups for the second time for 9 days and we could not have been happier! We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing they were being so well taken care of. She treated them like her own and made sure my picky girl was always fed, no matter what! Thank you Sheila for making our babies feel comfortable, safe and happy. We will definitely be using Sheila in the future!”
“Melanie was wonderful. We did a meet and greet before taking care of Mikey. Melanie is very warm and friendly and Mikey had a great day with her. She sent videos and pics of their time together. Mikey is a senior so he's pretty laid back and quiet, but he was quite happy to have Melanie here for company and getting outside. He was great when I got home as well. I would highly recommend Melanie. Hopefully we can use her services again soon. Thank you”
“Sharon is warm and welcoming and has a wonderful set up in her home for her doggy guests. She takes the time meet and greet pups and their families to find out individual care needs. Dogs are cared for with careful consideration to these needs. I highly recommend Sharon as a competent and committed dog carer.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
“Shelley was an absolute dream dog sitter! She sent us lots of photos and even printed off an adorable picture and framed it of our dogs. She clearly just loves dogs and we will definitely use her again! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.”
