About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, primarily large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities, and I am comfortable handling everything from energetic, playful dogs to calmer companions who just want steady attention and affection. I currently have a friendly poodle who is used to being around other dogs and helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I’ve always had dogs and have experience with poodles, Dalmatians, and Labradors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, including diabetes, seizure disorders, and Addison’s disease, so I’m comfortable with medications, routines, and watching for warning signs. I’m confident introducing new dogs and pay close attention to body language to ensure safe, positive interactions. My current poodle is well trained with excellent recall and is free on our farm, but visiting dogs are always kept safely on leash or long line unless otherwise discussed with owners. I also spend time at dog parks and have an invisible fence at the farm. Safety, supervision, and respecting each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities. I provide care both in my London home and, when appropriate and with owner approval, at our family farm. In London, dogs enjoy a safe, calm, and structured environment with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. At the farm, dogs have access to wide open spaces, fresh air, and safe, supervised outdoor time that many dogs absolutely love. I am experienced with feeding schedules, basic medications, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels and will always flag anything that seems off. Whether your dog prefers couch cuddles or room to roam, I make sure their stay is tailored to what makes them happiest. I work from home many days each week and live very close to work, so I can easily pop home at lunch on office days. Our own dog is part of our daily routine, so feeding, outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks are built into every day. I always take our poodle for a 30 min walk. Dogs in our home are treated like part of the family. I follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special instructions provided by their owner so they feel comfortable and settled. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Our home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with lots of space to relax and safe areas for play. We do have a fenced yard and a pool but can make sure dogs do not go into the pool (our dog avoids it). I supervise interactions closely, especially during meals and playtime, and make sure every dog has their own comfortable place to rest. Because I work from home many days a week and I live close to my work. When appropriate and with owner approval, I can also bring dogs to our family farm, where they can enjoy fresh air, wide open space, and safe, supervised outdoor time. Whether a dog prefers quiet cuddles or room to roam, I adjust their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.
“We were extremely pleased with the care Bailey had staying with Jessica.Communication before and during Bailey’s visit was important for us and Jessica was excellent.We and Bailey will be looking forward to using Jessica again.”

“Shelby was super kind and communicative over our 10 days out! She left great updates with lots of photos and our babies always seemed happy and cared for. A pleasure working with you, we'll keep you in mind for future time away!”
“Erin is an absolute gem! After every visit she provided detailed information regarding her time with my lil guy. She included many adorable photos that put me at ease while I was away. I could tell Hunter was happy and calm by just looking at the pictures. I will most certainly be rebooking!”
“My Bengal is very particular and not an average cat. I had to leave him for 4 days and I know he requires more than just drop in visits. I spent a lot of time searching on Rover and when I read Felipé's profile I knew that I had found the right fit. Even with that Felipé exceeded our expectations. I hired him for 4 overnights, and it was so reassuring to receive regular updates and photos of their time together. It's clear that this is not just a job for him, but rather a true passion. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like a special individual and provide personalized care, you cannot go wrong with this guy. Absolutely recommend 👌”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter and took great care of my cat. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend Nicole and would happily book her again.”
“Excellent Sitter. She did a great job with my geriatric trash cat. (Love him but he's a pita.) Reliable, dependable and friendly, Trudie is someone I'd happily rely on again. Thanks Trudie!”
About: Since getting my first pet at the age of 4 years old, I have continuously been surrounded by all types, sizes, and breeds of pets in my family home. Over the past 10 years or so have accumulated experience in petsitting from young energetic puppies and kittens who need all day play to elderly dogs and cats who need daily medications and special routines around the clock. Its safe to say I have loved every experience I’ve had around these pets and I also want to note I am fortunate to have a connection to an on call vet tech that will be able to assist me if you or I have any questions regarding the health of your pet in my care. With my athletic background and energetic personality you can ensure that your animals will be consistently walked, played with, and well taken care of. :) Please note that although I do work, my schedule allows me to be very flexible so that I can ensure I maintain your pet as a priority! :) You can ensure that your pet will have my full attention to make sure they are safe and well taken care of while you’re away!
“From the very first moment to the last, Lidiya was incredibly sweet, kind, and thoughtful. Communication was always easy and reassuring—she was responsive, dependable, and attentive in every way. When I asked for extra visits at the very last minute, she responded immediately, which meant so much to me and truly showed how much she cares. Her detailed updates and lovely photos after each visit brought me real comfort while I was away. It was obvious that my cat adored her; he showed so much affection, and that alone spoke volumes. Knowing he was not only well cared for physically but also loved and emotionally supported gave me complete peace of mind. The small gift she left us—a framed photo of my cat—was such a touching and unexpected gesture. I am so grateful for her care and couldn’t recommend her more wholeheartedly!”
About: I've had experience with cats of all breeds, sizes, age and activity level. Working at an animal hospital for over 3 years has exposed me to experiences with cats, both in a professional setting and also going above and beyond for their care when they board at the hospital or stay for surgery days. Their care and happiness is always my top priority. In 2022, I had the privilege of taking in my girl, Priscilla. She was set to be euthanized due to mid-stage kidney failure. She was offered to me by a veterinarian from another animal hospital. She was described as a sweet old lady who isn't the biggest fan of snuggles. I took her home; the first thing she did was sit on my lap and purred. She will forever have a huge place in my heart. For 8 months she lived out her golden days with me and she will never be forgotten. Her legacy is passed on by the way I love and care for your pets as if they are my own.
About: I’ve grown up with cats, and have had my cat, Augustine, for 5 years. Augie is my whole world and I treat her like it! Augie was rescued from a difficult situation, and has had some health issues over our time together. From caring for her, I’ve learned how to medicate effectively without causing stress, signs and symptoms to look out for if she isn’t acting like herself and how to act accordingly, and provide her the love and enrichment she deserves.
“Katherine was amazing! She came to meet us first and took her time to make sure our shy kitty was comfortable. He had been unwell and with the vet earlier in the week and Katherine asked all the right questions, kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. She’s very professional and we will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have spent years caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and fish. Growing up, I often helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their pets through dog walking, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I also had my own rabbit, parrot, and fish, which taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and daily care. More recently, I’ve been fostering cats and providing them with a safe, loving home while they wait to be adopted. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I have always had a special connection with cats and have an ability to connect with cats quickly. Being a cat parent my entire life as well as having worked in a pet boarding facility, I've experienced a wide range of cat demeanors and know how to soothe and pamper your furry friend, no matter their temperament.

I'm ready and able to give the care your pets deserve. I’ve been around animals my entire life and I genuinely enjoy teaching new skills and love to reinforce good habits. I have over 5 years of experience sitting pets for the people in my life.

I only take on 1 animal at a time. I give my undivided attention when sitting and I can send daily photos and updates of your pet.
About: I’m naturally very calm, detail-oriented, and respectful of people’s homes, which makes a big difference for cats. I take the time to keep their routine consistent, their space clean, and their stress low. I actually don’t rush visits—I make sure litter boxes are properly cleaned, food and water are fresh, and your cat gets attention at their own pace. I’m also comfortable helping with medications if needed. Because I run my own cleaning business, you can trust that your home is in responsible hands too.
About: My name is Bryce, I am a 28 year old registered practical nurse at Victoria hospital. I have 2 dogs (Bernese Mountain Dog and Shih Tzu) and 2 cats at home. I am very familiar with dog walking and sitting so promise your loved ones would be safe in my hands and would treat them as my own. I am diverse in different dog breeds from small to big and am open to learning about different breeds. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Cristina! My puppy, Darcheen, is usually very shy around new people, but she warmed up to Cristina so quickly thanks to all the love and cuddles she received during her stay. Cristina kept us updated throughout the day with sweet pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. At pick-up, she also provided a detailed feedback about how the day went, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after, and Darcheen came home happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Cristina and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Diana was very loving with Harley, showing him lots of affection. My senior dog struggles with separation anxiety and she put him at ease. I look forward to Harley staying with Diana again and would recommend her to others looking for care!”
“Rugile and Eima were considerate and attentive care givers. They gave him so much love and attention and I’m so relieved that our pup is in good hands.💕”
“Sayali, thank you very much for taking such a good care of my little dude. I can tell he really enjoyed the time he spent with you all. He loved playing with your dogs 😍.”
“I’ve rebooked with Jen multiple times for daycare and overnight stays. I’m someone who’s chronically anxious about leaving my pooch with someone new, but never with her! She’s so good at always sending updates and pictures on how the stay is going. Goose loves going to her place and hanging out with her family or playing with her dog! I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life. I begged my mom for years to get one as a child, and ever since age 10 I have had a beagle almost non-stop. Currently, I have a 2-year old beagle named Floyd whom you can see on Instagram as The_Biking_Beagle. If you live or work in downtown London, it's possible you've seen us biking to the dog park, which we do almost every day. I raised him since 2 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. My last dog Odie was a rescue from Kentucky, and he was likely about 8-10 years old when I got him. So I love dogs of all ages-and breeds. If you think your dog would like to join us on a bike ride to the dog park, that could be arranged. Either way, I will be happy to spend time with and walk your furry friend! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to choose my hours. Let me know when you need, and I will make time for you. I have a very friendly 2 year old beagle who gets along with almost any dog and loves to play. I also have a beautiful and very talkative cat, who has her own space if necessary, but also loves to socialize if the dog is friendly to cats. But if not, she does have her own highway of ledges and cat trees and closet space so there is no worry about her safety. I am also happy to care for your cat or dog in your home. I love to play with and spend time with animals, so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
“Brooke was so accommodating, and welcoming. I’ve never had anyone other than family watch Ace before but her reviews spoke volumes and I stand with the rest of them. She’s great, looked after my pup. Was so prompt with responses and so helpful. It’s always a relief to know your pup is in safe hands. Thank you Brooke for amazing care and the cutest little pictures. We are so grateful”
“Babita took such great care of Charlie during his first visit. She kept us updated with a video, which gave us so much peace of mind, and everything went wonderfully. We’re so happy with the experience and will definitely be back!”
“I was initially very nervous at the thought of leaving Nora with someone while I go to work! Nora and I met Kollin, his girlfriend, and their fur babies for a meet and great, and I was immediately reassured that they would be a great fit for Nora. Nora loves playing with their fur babies and Kollin keeps me updated with videos, photos, and messages throughout the day while she is in their care. I look forward to having them look after Nora I’m the future!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 8. Family and friends trust me with their pets. I truly respect all animals in their habitat, they're like people only smarter than we all know. I'm recently retired, and I need something to do. I am available at any time and I love to care for dogs of all breeds. When I walk dogs, I always have extra doggy bags with me. I love having dogs around while watching TV. I play and cuddle with them. Each dog has its own personality. I often try to teach them new things and give them doggy treats, if it's allowed. I don't feed dogs table scraps at any time.
“This was my first time leaning my dogs with Rita for the day. She was very caring and patient with them and also sent me their pictures and a video which put me at ease. Thanks again Rita!”
“My first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Smita was very reassuring with video/pic and text updates and my girls were genuinely happy in the videos. We did a day care day as a trial for my upcoming trip and I have to say I feel very at ease leaving my little ladies with Smita and her husband!”
About: Caring for dogs is more than a task—it’s a joy, a responsibility, and a love I carry in my heart every day. I understand that dogs are not just pets—they are family, companions, and a source of unconditional love. Leaving them behind can be hard, and that’s why I dedicate myself to making every dog feel safe, cherished, and truly at home. In our home, your dog will never feel alone. With me and my two boys, Evan and Aram, your dog will be welcomed with warmth, gentle attention, and endless love. My boys adore animals, and together we create a home full of laughter, play, and tender care where every dog feels seen, valued, and comforted. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs: • 🐶 Puppies – guiding them gently, building trust, helping with routines, and celebrating every small milestone • 🐕 Adult dogs – keeping walks, meals, and playtime consistent, while giving them attention, companionship, and mental stimulation • 🐾 Senior dogs – providing slow, loving care, cozy rest, and gentle support to make every moment comfortable and reassuring What truly sets me apart is the heart and family environment I offer. Your dog will not simply be watched—they will be included in our lives, treated like a beloved member of the family. I focus on: • Listening to their needs, understanding their moods, and giving love in exactly the way they need it • Following their daily routines to provide consistency and comfort • Creating a calm, safe space where they can be happy, relaxed, and loved • Offering endless cuddles, play, and bonding moments Our home is designed for your dog’s happiness and safety: • A large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, explore, and play freely • Indoor comfort where dogs are always welcome on furniture and beds, giving them warmth and closeness • A loving, family environment filled with patience, attention, and understanding I know leaving your dog in someone else’s care is a leap of trust. That’s why I promise to care for them as if they were my own—giving them love, safety, and comfort in every single moment. Because to me, this isn’t just dog sitting… it’s creating a second home where tails wag, hearts feel safe, and your dog knows they are deeply loved. ❤️ ✨ Where every bark is cherished, every cuddle is returned, and every dog feels like family. ✨ Pets thrive on love, attention, and consistency—and that’s exactly what I provide every day. In our home, caring for your furry family members is seamlessly woven into our daily routine, so they always feel safe, happy, and loved. A typical day with your pet includes: • Morning cuddles & care: Greeting pets with love, feeding, and letting them stretch and play after waking • Playtime & exercise: Dogs enjoy walks in the yard or around the neighborhood, while cats get cozy play sessions or window-watching time • Quiet & rest periods: Calm, peaceful time for napping, grooming, or simply feeling safe and comfortable • Attention & bonding: Evan and Aram love spending time with pets, giving gentle hugs, brushing fur, or playing interactive games • Meals & health check: Following your pet’s feeding schedule, keeping litter boxes fresh, and checking for any signs of discomfort or illness • Evening relaxation: Cozy snuggles, calm interaction, and pets are always welcome on furniture or beds for comfort and security I adjust our routine to fit your pet’s specific needs, so they feel at home whether they’re active, playful, or need extra calm time. Consistency, patience, and gentle attention are at the heart of every day. Because to me, pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s part of our family life, and your pet becomes part of it too. ❤️ The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. I understand that leaving your furry family members behind can be stressful, so I create an environment where they feel safe, loved, and completely at home—whether in my home or theirs. In our home, pets enjoy: • A large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and explore safely • Plenty of indoor space to relax and feel secure • Freedom to be themselves—cats and dogs are welcome on furniture and beds, just like they are at home • Gentle supervision and attention from me and my boys, Evan and Aram, who adore animals and help create a warm, caring environment I also focus on trust and routine: • Following your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, naps, and playtime • Keeping their environment calm and stress-free • Monitoring health and well-being closely, and reporting any concerns promptly • Using positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance with all pets When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as respectfully as my own. I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable space while maintaining routines and leaving your home exactly as I found it. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s about creating a place where your pet feels safe, loved, and happy, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️
“Brittany was great! Very much appreciated the cute pictures of our dog enjoying the stay and when my dog was excited to see her on her next stay I was sure Mikka enjoyed her time too. My dog is slow to adjust to new people so it was great that Brittany was patient through it used to this behavior.”
“Bill was terrific. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Bill was accommodating and attentive, excellent communication throughout. Would recommend Bill. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry family member.”
“Katherine was great with my dog who is still less than a year old. She took him for a nice walk and was able to make him comfortable during his stay even though he has a bit of separation anxiety. Several photos were sent during his time there.”
“Angela is such a great sitter. I left Alex with her more than 12 hours a day without any worry. She replied to my messages within a few minutes and kept me updated with pictures. Thankyou so much for taking such great care of my dog. ❤”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals working at a rescue farm. Feeding, cleaning, and providing basic medical care were apart of my responsibilities. I was also a member of the facilities team at the farm, taking care of grounds maintenance and repairs. Before getting cats and dogs of my own as a kid, I would go around the block asking neighbours to walk their dogs. I have had my own cat for 5 years now who is the light of my life! I am currently wide open for animal care, whether that be drop ins, daily walks or staying over. I am flexible and can work around your schedule. Safety and care are my top priority. I understand and appreciate that all animals are different and come with unique qualities and personalities. I also understand that pets are family, and trusting someone with your family is a big step! I will ensure their safety by making sure I understand their needs, taking/keeping them in environments where they thrive and keeping an open line of communication with you.
About: I've had pets my whole life and connecting with animals comes naturally to me. In high school, I had the opportunity to work at a pet boarding facility where I gained experience working with dogs and cats of all demeanours. I treat every pet like they're my own - with lots of cuddles, love and play! As a supply teacher, my schedule is flexible and I often finish work early in the afternoon. I love spending my extra time caring for animals and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. It’s a fulfilling way to unwind after school and give pets the attention they deserve. Being a pet parent myself, I know how important routine is for animals. I follow feeding, walk, and play schedules closely and give lots of love and attention and love to help them feel safe while you're away. I respect your space and keep everything clean and tidy, just like you left it.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and I have taught myself how to groom them. I love cats especially. I can groom and bathe them as well as ear cleaning and nail trims. I have also trained 3 cats the 'sit' command, an 8 year old grey tabby, a 5 year old dilute calico, and a 2.5 year old orange girl. My schedule is extremely flexible, whatever works for you and your pet will also work for me :3 I have a nice open calendar for a summer! I have 3 cats, i feed them their food and the ones that are comfortable with it, i clip their nails safely, i know exactly where to cut it so they don't bleed. Cats that are okay with water, i can bathe them safely but you would have to provide feline body wash
About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!
About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.
“Amanda did such a great job with Brady! He’s usually pretty hesitant with new dog walkers at first, but whatever Amanda did made him feel completely comfortable and at ease right away. She was patient, attentive, and clearly took the time to build trust with him. Not only did she handle him wonderfully, but she also gave him a great walk that left him happy, relaxed, and well-exercised afterward. It’s obvious that Amanda genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. Brady absolutely loved his time with her and can’t wait to see Amanda again soon!”
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it
“Alice needed a male figure since she had one growing up and no longer does. When I come home, Alice is much more calm than she has been in a long time. So glad Walter was able to give her the exercise and play time she needs :) Thank you!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—everything from playful kittens to older, more reserved senior cats. I understand that every cat has their own unique routine and preferences, and I always take the time to get to know what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or just offering quiet companionship and gentle affection, I make sure every cat I care for gets the love and attention they deserve. I'm also familiar with shy or anxious cats and have a calm, patient approach that helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. Pet care is a BIG part of my routine and forever has been. I am currently working in hospitality and at a reptile zoo. No matter my schedule, I will always prioritize time for making sure each animal feels safe, cared for, and loved. whether its popping by for a walk, quality playtime, snuggles or routine tank cleaning, I will be there. When their feeding times are, exercise scedule anything they are scared of or sensitive to, how often they like to be walked, any special considerations and any medications they need.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the amount of care and attention I give to every dog. I’ve always had a love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I have a chocolate lab who is six years old and my best friend. I’m also very reliable, patient, and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and treated like family. I am available to care for your pet right in the comfort of your home, making things easier and stress-free for both you and your pet. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided, including medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep the pet safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment while their owner is away.
About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I have a fully fenced yard but also believe it's important taking dogs our for walks provided this suits the dogs temperament and the wishes of the owner. I adhere to the owners household and behavioral rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!

About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, primarily large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities, and I am comfortable handling everything from energetic, playful dogs to calmer companions who just want steady attention and affection. I currently have a friendly poodle who is used to being around other dogs and helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I’ve always had dogs and have experience with poodles, Dalmatians, and Labradors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, including diabetes, seizure disorders, and Addison’s disease, so I’m comfortable with medications, routines, and watching for warning signs. I’m confident introducing new dogs and pay close attention to body language to ensure safe, positive interactions. My current poodle is well trained with excellent recall and is free on our farm, but visiting dogs are always kept safely on leash or long line unless otherwise discussed with owners. I also spend time at dog parks and have an invisible fence at the farm. Safety, supervision, and respecting each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities. I provide care both in my London home and, when appropriate and with owner approval, at our family farm. In London, dogs enjoy a safe, calm, and structured environment with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. At the farm, dogs have access to wide open spaces, fresh air, and safe, supervised outdoor time that many dogs absolutely love. I am experienced with feeding schedules, basic medications, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels and will always flag anything that seems off. Whether your dog prefers couch cuddles or room to roam, I make sure their stay is tailored to what makes them happiest. I work from home many days each week and live very close to work, so I can easily pop home at lunch on office days. Our own dog is part of our daily routine, so feeding, outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks are built into every day. I always take our poodle for a 30 min walk. Dogs in our home are treated like part of the family. I follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special instructions provided by their owner so they feel comfortable and settled. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Our home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with lots of space to relax and safe areas for play. We do have a fenced yard and a pool but can make sure dogs do not go into the pool (our dog avoids it). I supervise interactions closely, especially during meals and playtime, and make sure every dog has their own comfortable place to rest. Because I work from home many days a week and I live close to my work. When appropriate and with owner approval, I can also bring dogs to our family farm, where they can enjoy fresh air, wide open space, and safe, supervised outdoor time. Whether a dog prefers quiet cuddles or room to roam, I adjust their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.

Best wishes, Sam & Paul”
“My Australian shepherd atlas was left in great hands. I was nervous because my dog has so much energy. I was provided with picture updates throughout the day and my mind was at ease knowing he was well taken care of and had lots of exercise and socialization with his new dog buddy. Thanks from atlas and I! I would highly rebook again. Kindest regards, Jason”
