“Elizabeth and Gary care for our dog like they do their own and it is such a relief knowing that our fur baby is so well cared for while we are away. The daily pictures and updates are fantastic and we love seeing what our dog is up to. Our dog becomes part of Elizabeth and Gary's family (along with their dogs) and we can see how comfortable our dog is with them both feeling right at home. Having our dog cared for in a home setting is important to us so that our dog receives the attention and care she is used to (being a higher anxiety dog). Highly recommend Elizabeth and Gary to anyone who wants their dogs treated as if they were their own while you are away.”
“Luna was well taken care of during her stay with Hilary. Appreciate how flexible Hilary was and she her communication was great even sending us updates and photos. Thank you Hilary!”
“Sayali took amazing care of our dogs-we could tell they loved their stay and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Sayali and would have her take care of my dogs any day.”
“Lynn and Jeff were great sitters for our frenchie Dozer. They were very responsive to our messages and Lynn sent pictures daily of a dozer to keep in touch with us while we were away. This is the second time Lynn and Jeff looked after Dozer and we felt comfortable he would be well taken care off. We will definitely be calling on Lynn and Jeff next time we need a sitter for Dozer.”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jennifer is a reliable and excellent pet sitter! It is such a comfort to know my pup is in good hands. When my plans had to be changed quickly she was accommodating, and very helpful. Thanks Jen! Ruby had an amazing time.”
“I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Carol and family are! This was our dogs second visit with Carol and a much longer stay this time around and I’m more than positive he would stay forever if he could :) Such a wonderful, loving and caring family who give everything to make sure Lenny is comfortable and happy! Daily updates that I absolutely loved. Lenny cannot wait for his next visit to Carols a when I mention her name his head pops right up! Thankyou again so much for a great week!”
“Morgan is very friendly and really knows dogs of all kinds of behaviour. She made my dog feel instantly comfortable and took great care of my dog over the weekend. I already have another weekend booked for next month. Thank you, Morgan, for being so great to my anxious pup.”
“Thank you so much for your help with Ruby. This was the first time we were leaving her with anyone, and I am happy to report that you both welcomed her and made her feel comfortable in your house. Thank you again.”
“Bernadett made Finnegan feel right at home and took such good care of him. She sent updates that made us feel comfortable knowing he was in a wonderful home while we were away. Don’t think we could have had anyone better watch him while we were away”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Joyce was absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone! My pup had such a blast and maybe liked her a little too much! Joyce made me feel confident going away while my pup was sick and kept up on her meds that by the time I got back, she was feeling almost all better! Thank you Joyce!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!”
“Claudia provided excellent care for our two dogs for an evening. She was responsive, friendly and clearly wonderful with our dogs. They came home well rested and happy. If we are in the area again, we will definitely reach out to Claudia!”

“Jayden did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Copper. She independently took care of him for over a week and was reliable. She handled all responsibilities with utmost care and properly secured my home locks between visits. I would definitely recommend Jayden and welcome her back to take care of Copper!”
“Emily provided wonderful pet sitting services during my weekend vacation out of town. Received many updates on how my cats were doing, as well as pictures from throughout her visits. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”
“Walter housesat and watched our kittens. It was their first time being looked after and Walter was great! We felt confident with him watching our kittens and house while we were gone and would recommend and rebook him. We came home to happy kittens and our house was clean.”
About: Cats have been part of my home for more than 20 years, and I’ve personally cared for two of my own. I know that cats have very different personalities — some want to be your shadow, while others need a little time and space before deciding you’re worthy of their attention! I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime and affection, while also respecting their boundaries and letting them come to me at their own pace. Because I work remotely, I can also spend plenty of time in your home while house sitting if you wish, which is especially helpful for cats who enjoy having someone nearby. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“Maddy and Vanessa were outstanding pet sitters to our cat Tuna. It was our first time leaving our cat with a Rover, so naturally we had some anxiety going into the process. This was quickly quieted by the kindness and thoughtfulness of Maddy and Vanessa. They provided very detailed updates about what Tuna had done, asked questions as needed, and went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. They also took wonderful photos and videos, some of the best we’ve ever got of our girl! We feel lucky to have found them, and Tuna is lucky to now have such amazing new friends, who she loves dearly. We have both had pets our entire lives and have never had a better experience with a pet sitter. We simply cannot recommend Maddy and Vanessa more :) we will absolutely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Oleksandra did not disappoint!! My family and I had to be out of our house for a week to try to sell our home and we booked our pet-friendly airbnb a little late so we had no place for my 4 kitties! Oleksandra was not only kind enough to help out but she also called on a friend to pick up and drop off with her because her vehicle wasn't working! She was fantastic with sending me photos and videos of my kitties and they were all taken great care of!! Oleksandra was a lifesaver and a sweet person as well!! Thank you SO much for your help with my kitties (who mean a lot to me!!) - especially during such a tumultuous time in our lives! Definitely recommend Oleksandra for anyone who needs help with pet care!! <3”

About: With hands-on experience as a veterinary tech assistant and animal caretaker, I've spent years tending to cats with care, patience, and a deep understanding of their unique personalities.

Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playful stimulation, or just someone who truly "gets" them, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I treat every animal like family--because that's exactly what they are.

“She was amazing and I’ll always come to her if I need someone to take care of Maverick. She made sure my puppy who is 5 months was introduced to the other dogs slowly and comfortably. She sent me many updates, photos and videos. I had someone cancel on me last minute and she responds right away. I’m very happy and recommend her to anyone using this app! She also has a lot of availability, flexibility, a yard and ensures the puppies needs are being met. She made sure all my questions were answered and that I was confident to put Maverick in her care!”
“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.”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

About: Hey - I'm Virginia, and I would be honored to help take care of your pet! I provide most services including walks, drop in visits, house pet sitting, boarding, and day care, and I am also happy to discuss unique options. I have a flexible, work from home schedule. I have the most experience with dogs, including veterinary clinics, formal dog training skills, and dog walking. I love cats as well, but provide only drop in visits or house sitting at this time for cats. I am comfortable with almost all kinds of dogs and can handle reactive and energetic personalities, or particular health/social needs. I will keep you well updated during the visit. Please feel free to ask any questions! I am available most days except sundays and saturday afternoons and have a flexible schedule! So, I'll be able to keep a close eye on and give attentive care for your pet. I care for pets by looking out on their behalf.

I ensure they are hydrated and not stressed. I also maintain a calm demeanor, and I am very proactive in making decisions for their comfort and safety.
“Jennifer was great to watch our dog while we stopped into a friend’s house over the holidays. Her communication was great and we could tell when we dropped Tyson off that he was in good hands. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week old puppy. She gave him an at home feel and gave me piece of mind while I was working. I will definitely be having her watch our pup again!”
“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.

“Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk.

About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs, and loved my own dogs and cats as a pet parent, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society London & Middlesex. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, litter care and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable and experienced with administering basic medications if necessary. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend time with pets while house sitting, providing regular outdoor breaks, companionship and supervision throughout the day. My laptop is pretty easy to carry anywhere! Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my day. I can easily bring my laptop with me while house sitting, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day rather than being away for long stretches. As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to plug in, I’m all set! This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime and lots of companionship. Pets in my care are treated like family. I know how important routines, comfort and consistency are, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of things like secure doors and gates, feeding schedules, medications, walks and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. During this time, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs, including walks, playtime, and companionship. I have two dogs of my own who are friendly and enjoy having company. They provide great opportunities for safe play and socialization, while I ensure your dog still receives individualized attention, supervision, and care.
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 done schooling and just waiting for my college graduation before I find work, so I am completely free during the week and weekends. 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
About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.
About: I've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation. I'm very patient with animals, including senior animals, and provide them with love and care while you're away! I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too! I will ensure to stick to your guidelines provided to create a safe environment for the animals. I will also keep a close eye on them and spend lots of time with them!

I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they always know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I have always been passionate about animals. I have taken care of a cat for a year and fell in love with taking care of other's pets. While I watched this cat, I made sure to play with her, clean her and her litterbox, and take her to appointments. I am reliable, responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I follow directions explicitly, keep spaces clean, and am incredibly flexible. I would love to get to know you, your pets, and help out in any way I can! I am a graduate student at Western University. Outside of classes and occassional meetings, my work is largely remote and can be done anywhere. This means I am incredibly flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I would provide excellent care to pets in your home. I am clean, responsible, and can follow directions explicitly. I am available to stay for long periods of time and can meet any needs your animal may have.

“Sayali took amazing care of our dogs-we could tell they loved their stay and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Sayali and would have her take care of my dogs any day.”
“Lynn and Jeff were great sitters for our frenchie Dozer. They were very responsive to our messages and Lynn sent pictures daily of a dozer to keep in touch with us while we were away. This is the second time Lynn and Jeff looked after Dozer and we felt comfortable he would be well taken care off. We will definitely be calling on Lynn and Jeff next time we need a sitter for Dozer.”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jennifer is a reliable and excellent pet sitter! It is such a comfort to know my pup is in good hands. When my plans had to be changed quickly she was accommodating, and very helpful. Thanks Jen! Ruby had an amazing time.”
“Morgan is very friendly and really knows dogs of all kinds of behaviour. She made my dog feel instantly comfortable and took great care of my dog over the weekend. I already have another weekend booked for next month. Thank you, Morgan, for being so great to my anxious pup.”
“Thank you so much for your help with Ruby. This was the first time we were leaving her with anyone, and I am happy to report that you both welcomed her and made her feel comfortable in your house. Thank you again.”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Joyce was absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone! My pup had such a blast and maybe liked her a little too much! Joyce made me feel confident going away while my pup was sick and kept up on her meds that by the time I got back, she was feeling almost all better! Thank you Joyce!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!”
“Claudia provided excellent care for our two dogs for an evening. She was responsive, friendly and clearly wonderful with our dogs. They came home well rested and happy. If we are in the area again, we will definitely reach out to Claudia!”
“Great experience! Courtney and Ryan, took care of Max our Labradoodle. We like to see how Max recognizes you, guys, and happy to see you again. Thank you.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with my sweet girl Licorice! She was flexible with the last minute booking and was very friendly. I will definitely call her again when I need a sitter! I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone! ☺️”
“Mohiny & Lucas O. were the best puppy sitters ever!! We met for a meet and greet and connected with them right away - we just knew they would take exceptional care of our pet. Their genuine love of animals was evident from the start. Our pet was very happy with them and enjoyed all the walks she took with Mohiny & Lucas O. Mohiny & Lucas O. sent us lots of pictures of our pet in action and kept us very well informed about how she was eating, resting, and playing throughout her time with them. We would happily have them look after our pet anytime knowing that she will be very well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mohiny & Lucas!!”
