“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“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 🐾”
“Max has never stayed away - and as a nervous pet owner - I was reassured throughout his stay with updates and pictures! I couldn't have asked for a better experience :)”
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
“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!”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her 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.”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Renay is immediately welcoming and very kind. She made sure she had as much information as she could about my dog before caring for him. I was very grateful to Renay for caring for my Milo, and felt he was in great care.”
“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Aditya and Ipshita were everything we could ask for and then some. They cared for our dog like a beloved family member and kept us posted throughout his stay. This is the first time we've truly felt comfortable with the care of our dog and I will use them again without hesitation. Thanks Aditya and Ipshita.”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
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.

“Ellie was everything we needed for our first Rover experience! She was lovely and warm and super accommodating. We received so many cute photos and updates and she went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess that our kitties made while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again for whenever we are out of town. Thanks again Ellie!!”
“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!”
About: As a dedicated cat owner of two, I understand how important it is to provide calm, attentive, and consistent care. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re energetic or more independent. I create a stress-free environment where your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Leah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my two dogs, Winston and Dakota. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel safe, comfortable and confident. My experience goes beyond everyday pet ownership. Growing up, I volunteered with the Oakville Humane Society, where I gained experience around animals with different personalities and needs. I also spent several years volunteering with Frontline K9 Manitoba, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, assisting with basic animal health needs, and supporting rescue and apprehension efforts. One of my greatest learning experiences has been my own dog, Dakota. Dakota is a rescue with a history of dog reactivity, which led me to invest extensively in professional training and learn as much as possible about canine behaviour, body language, triggers and safe handling. I’ve worked closely with trainers and completed multiple training programs with her, giving me hands-on experience managing and supporting a dog with more complex behavioural needs. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, including loose-leash walking, calm and structured walks, polite greetings, jumping, impulse control, basic cues and confidence building. I understand the importance of consistency and will always follow the methods, commands and boundaries you use with your dog. I’m especially understanding of reactive, anxious or sensitive dogs. I know that sometimes a successful walk means creating distance, changing routes, avoiding a trigger or simply giving a dog the time and space they need to feel safe. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt my care to their personality, routine and needs. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, positive and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely understands dogs. Flexible remote work schedule in social work and k9 training. Schedule can vary however I can accommodate whenever I am able! Thank you and talk soon! I am happy to provide care in my home. Willing to follow your typical routines / structure. We can chat beforehand to make a plan.
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
About: I have had my own cats and watched neighbours cats since I was a little girl. I love watching cats because we respect each others needs/space and I give them love on their terms. I earn their trust, keep a steady routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space
“Sara is awesome! She answers quickly, booked on short notice, and made me feel that my baby was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again! Thank you Sara!”
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 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME 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: Hi, I’m Charlene. With over 10 years of experience in the animal care field, I offer compassionate, reliable cat sitting services tailored to your feline’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily visits, feeding, litter box care, or simply providing comfort and companionship while you’re away, you can trust that your cat is in experienced and loving hands. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority! I am comfortable administering medication.
“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!”
About: Hi there! My name is Stephanie and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have a two story home with lots of space and close to many trails! I grew up with Alaskan Malamutes, labs, cats and a rescue dog named Lemmy, who I adopted from Greece. I previously worked at an animal kennel and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m available for walks, check-ins and grooming, and will always care for your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for walks, check ins and plenty of one on one attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and schedule! I will always do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a check in, taking them for a walk or caring for them in their own home, I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care. I’ll treat your home with respect and, most importantly, your furry friend like they’re one of my own!
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.
“Five stars doesn't seem enough if I am being truthful. Brianna was an absolute joy to work with and our dog loved her. This was the first time we'd gone somewhere that we couldn't take him and we were so nervous. Once we met Brianna it was instant relief. We will definitely keep in touch and schedule some future walks. Thanks again for everything.”
“Ashley and Joshua are hands down the best cat sitters I’ve ever had! They took such amazing care of my two cats, sent regular updates, spent tons of quality time with them, and even grabbed more food when I ran low (totally my fault!). I came home to happy cats and a spotless house. I’m so grateful for them and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
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!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing! We booked our pup, Sobey, in for a full day of daycare and she absolutely loved it! From play time with Molly, to a duo walk, to snuggles inside, Sobey was extremely well taken care of and had the best day! Michelle was quick to respond to messages, extremely accommodating and sent us videos and pictures throughout the day of Sobey and Molly’s adventures! Michelle truly cares about what she does and made Sobey feel at home right away. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Michelle and Molly 🥰”

“Rieko was great with Addy. At first Addy was nervous and shy, but Rieko was understanding and so great. She understood what Addy needed and did everything to make her feel at home. We will definitely use Rieko again. =)”

“Tobie took to her right away, she was prepared at the met with a book to take notes to fully care for our Diabetic dog. It’s was great to find someone willing to give him insulin so we could enjoy our daughters wedding without any worry. He came home happy and loved playing with other dog friends.”
“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 :)”

About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! Minor note: extended travel (over 30minute drive), adds the full hour fee for drop ins and walks to account for the kms. I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.

About: I do some boarding and dog sits at your home. But if you are working full time and need walks for your dog this summer- we got you! My daughter and I can make it work, if you are in Stayner.

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. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.
“Laura was quick to respond and accomodating with a last minute booking. She sent lots of photo updates during Lucy's walks and was easy to communicate with. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Michelle and welcome to “Molly and Me” Dog Daycare! 🤗 After a fulfilling career as a high school teacher, I decided to follow my heart and turn my lifelong love for animals into a new adventure. “Molly and Me” was inspired by my own beloved 6 year old Golden Doodle Molly, and built on the values I’ve always held close - care, connection and trust. At “Molly and Me”, I provide doggy daycare in a safe, nurturing and fun environment where your dog is treated like part of the family. Whether you’re at work or away on a trip, you can feel confident knowing your pup is receiving personalized attention, playtime and lots of love. This isn’t just a business - it’s a passion. I’m so proud to offer a place where dogs can feel happy, secure and right at home. 🐶🥰 A Day in the Life at “Molly and Me” 🐶 Running “Molly and Me” Dog Daycare isn’t just my business - it’s a part of my everyday life and brings me genuine joy. After retiring from teaching, I knew I wanted to do something that blended care, routine and connection - and this is it. Each morning starts with welcoming our furry guests into my home, tail wags and all. After the dogs settle in and get to know one another in my backyard, we head out for a refreshing morning walk to stretch their legs and get their energy flowing. From there, the day unfolds with a balance of supervised outdoor play in our spacious, fully fenced backyard and calm indoor rest in the cozy comfort of my home. Whether it’s a half-day (9am-1pm OR 12pm-4pm) or full-day visit (9am-4pm), every dog in my care gets the attention and companionship they deserve. I’m always nearby and fully present with the dogs in my care. In the afternoon, we enjoy another walk, some quiet time and maybe a few cuddles before pickup. The beauty of running Molly and Me is that it blends so seamlessly into the flow of my day, allowing me to provide a home-based experience that’s warm, structured and full of heart. This isn’t just a service - it’s a lifestyle rooted in love, care and the joy of dogs. Dogs in my care are always supervised, ensuring their safety, well-being and happiness throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a few hours of fun or a full day of companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home. I keep my numbers small to ensure every dog receives the care, comfort and connection they deserve. Up to date vaccinations are required to attend dog daycare.
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“Sara was amazing. My dogs loved her so much that they would go to the door 10 minutes before her arrival and be waiting for her. She was prompt and provided updates of their walks daily. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.
About: I work in the veterinarian field and have several years experience in animal boarding and training facilities. With my combination of veterinary care and boarding experience, you can feel confident your pets are in good hands! I have flexibility to help check in on your pets as needed with my current schedule. I am able to come as needed or on a regular basis. I will care for your pets in their home by offering check in visits. If you need more than one a day, I’m happy to work with you.
About: Hi there! My name is Stephanie and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have a two story home with lots of space and close to many trails! I grew up with Alaskan Malamutes, labs, cats and a rescue dog named Lemmy, who I adopted from Greece. I previously worked at an animal kennel and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m available for walks, check-ins and grooming, and will always care for your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for walks, check ins and plenty of one on one attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and schedule! I will always do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a check in, taking them for a walk or caring for them in their own home, I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care. I’ll treat your home with respect and, most importantly, your furry friend like they’re one of my own!
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 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally.

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: 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. ☺️
“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’ve had dogs my whole life, different sizes, ages and breeds. Big importance with leash manners and socializing. Dogs are a big part of my life and that will never change Currently working part time and have alot of free time, mainly during the week. Very flexible during all hours, whatever the pups need, I’m there! I love going for walks, lots of trials by my house and others dogs for socializing. I do not have a fenced in backyard but some grass to play
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.

“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 🐾”
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
“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!”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Renay is immediately welcoming and very kind. She made sure she had as much information as she could about my dog before caring for him. I was very grateful to Renay for caring for my Milo, and felt he was in great care.”
“Aditya and Ipshita were everything we could ask for and then some. They cared for our dog like a beloved family member and kept us posted throughout his stay. This is the first time we've truly felt comfortable with the care of our dog and I will use them again without hesitation. Thanks Aditya and Ipshita.”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
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.
“Molly and Georgia were absolutely wonderful! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I felt like I was leaving Spencer and Rogue with trusted family. I knew right away they would love my dogs as much as I do—and my dogs loved them instantly! They were so accommodating, caring, and wonderful to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”
“Excellent service. Jax was comfy with Michelle and Rob immediately. He looked happy and worn put at pickup so obviously he had fun exercise wise and playing with their dogs. I highly recommend.”
