“We have never used Rover before but loved the concept of having our Boxer looked after in a home setting. After meeting Claudia we knew we had made a good decision. Our girl spent the day there and Claudia reached out a few times to let us know how she was doing. We will definitely be taking our girl to Claudia again. Highly recommend”
“Eva was wonderful! She took care of my pup really well :) she kept me informed about my dog throughout the day by sending pics and videos. She was also accommodative in terms of timelines. I will definitely come back to Eva for daycare and boarding of my dog.”
“Vivienne just did her first overnight - she’s exhausted from all the playing, I think, but very happy. I got amazing photo updates from Elizabeth! It made being away so much easier!”
“This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.”
“Kimberly and her husband Kevin are fantastic. Orly had her first overnight and came home tired and happy. I know she gets lots of love and attention. She is looking forward to her next vacation at Kimberly's.”
“Very accommodating to our requests and schedule, and our dog was calm after a day with them (she usually starts very anxious). They gave updates, photos and video throughout the day. Highly recommend them.”
“Cindy and Marc took such great care of Batman, who is a nervous dog but they made him feel so welcomed. Cindy shared updates and pictures through the day which we really appreciated. Overall we couldn’t be happier.”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!”
“Saksham took great care of Snowy while we were away. We were a bit late for pickup, but he was very understanding and accommodating. Snowy came back happy and well cared for, and it was clear that Saksham treated her with kindness and attention. We really appreciated his flexibility and would definitely trust him with Snowy again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have lived on a farm all my life. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I ensure good care of animals. I would take them for a walk, reward good behaviours with treats. I have a lot of property that I could take a dog to go on a walk. I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Juno, she is 3yr old and she is very friendly to all dogs . Mostly I am at home that gives me availability to take care of dogs on even short notice. I have lots of space on the farm for the dogs which is great for energetic dogs. I always have them on a leash for trust to be built, and so they are next to me at all times. I have my own space in my parents house so a more reserved dog can build trust at their own level.
About: I have over 12+ years of dog ownership experience as well as 3+ years experience in dog adoption/fostering. Taking care of other people's pets is second nature to me. As a dog owner myself, I understand that it is stressful to relinquish control of your pets care to someone else. I was caught up in the business of the 9-5 workday and stressed to find care for my dogs that was personable and affordable. I have recently lost my job and in the midst of looking for work, I decided to open up my home to some furry friends! **I am only able to provide care from 8am-6pm daily for doggy daycare** I am currently searching for my next job opportunity since being laid off. I have daily available during the work day with overnight care offered if needed. I have a fully fenced, large yard as well as two dogs of my own. The care for your dog would be directly in my home, they wouldn't be outside all day/ignored. If the weather is bad, we may just sit back and watch TV after playtime! My dogs are very friendly and playful but I do have a dachshund who is very small, therefore I can only accept dogs that are 40lbs and under.

“Jacqueline did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was gone for the week. She went above and beyond. I felt very comfortable having her in my home without me around, her updates about her visit were thorough and appreciated. I highly recommend her, if you need support while gone away. She’s friendly and extremely kind. I’ll absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Adrian was professional, friendly, and you can tell he truly cares about your furry best friend. He makes sure to keep you in the loop and I highly recommend him for anyone who might be hesitant on hiring a cat/dog sitter. It was truly such a relief to have someone so dependable and caring look after my cat.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets my whole life as well as taking care of others. I have owned two dogs, 2 hamsters, a rabbit and many fish. I am very personable with each pet and make sure they are fully taken care of. In my experience I have walked, house sat and fed dogs based on their own needs and administer medicine . I am currently only working part time and am seeking a second job to create more income. I am very flexible and would love to help! I can easily take care of any animal depending on their needs. I am very comfortable with any behaviour, or anything they may need! :)
About: I provide calm, respectful care tailored to each cat’s personality, whether they’re social or prefer space. I’m attentive to routines, litter box cleanliness, feeding habits, and subtle behaviour changes that can signal stress or health issues. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and making sure pets stay on schedule. I take pride in keeping litter areas clean and creating a low-stress environment so your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Alexandria helped us out with two back to back drop-ins over the holidays. Her communication was excellent and I really appreciated the updates and photos. Thank you so much!”
About: My wife and I have been fostering dogs and cats from the Humane Society and other rescues for 5 years, in addition to being pet owners ourselves. We have specifically taken on animals with health complications in need of special care, e.g. medication, physiotherapy, pregnancy, etc. As a bonus, my wife is a dog groomer with a salon attached to our home, so if your pet needs some sprucing up, we can help with that, too! Both my wife and I work from home and I am currently on leave from work, so I have lots of extra time to devote to your pet 🙂 We have a large, fenced yard that provides ample space for play. We currently own three cats (Mouse, Graham, and Rudy), two budgies (Nigel and Fergus), and one fish (Oscar). The cats are used to foster pets (about 60 cats and dogs over the past 5 years) coming in and out on a regular basis and the birds are up nice and high.
“Breeah watched my two dogs over the weekend while we were away. Beginning to end she was fantastic! Quick to respond and friendly when I reached out, she obviously has lots of experience with dogs so I was comfortable with her immediately. Breeah met my dogs before we left and while we were gone she provided lots of great updates and pictures - I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again!”

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”
“Tanya was great with Bear! Gave us lots of updates while we were away and took great care of Bear. Provided her with lots of love and affection, she looked like a very happy pup in each photo we got. We absolutely recommend Tanya and will be using her in the future again!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if that’s what you want for your loved one .

About: I have had a cat in my life since birth. Currently I have 3 cats (6 outdoor ferals). My husband will not let me keep anymore cats but that doesn’t mean I can’t still give others love!! Living in the country the last 2 years I have rescued 18 kittens/cats. Currently work with a local rescue. Familiar with providing medications for cats. Familiar with both litter and pine pellets! I know how lonely my cats get while I’m away, which is why I am happy to pop in to give them some love!
“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”

“Sapphire loves going to Claudia’s. She has gotten to know Claudia and that makes it easier for me to leave her for the day. She enjoys playing with the other dogs.”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“So glad to have found Fiona and Dale. Their place is a fabulous playground, well supervised and with lots of freedom for the dogs to move around. We will for sure be back!”

“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”
“Eva and her husband were lovely and kind. I received lots of updates and photos throughout Skipper’s stay, even though it wasn’t long. He came home happy and sleepy - maybe a little sad that he was leaving a new friend’s house ?. I would definitely recommend Eva and would trust my pup with her anytime ❤️”
“Cindy took great care of my fur buddy Zeus . She had him all day, and sent several updates & pics throughout the day. Prior to that we met up for a meet and greet, where she answered all my questions. When I picked Zeus up he was obviously happy with his experience. Highly recommend Cindy.”
“Tieja is a true dog lover and she sat my 1 yr old mini golden doodle for 2 nights while we went to plays at the Stratford Festival. My dog Lola was keen to visit even on the first visit and ran up the steps for her second visit. When we picked her up at 11:30 pm Lola gave her big kisses before we left. Obviously she enjoyed her stay. Tieja also sent photos of Lola and her dog playing together and walked her at night. We couldn't been happier with her care. Thank you Tieja !”
“Wenge and Changhe did a great job watching our pup for the day! He is high energy, so their setup of letting them run around on a spacious balcony was perfect for our little guy. Would definitely recommend!”
“After our meet and greet a few weeks ago I felt very confident that Orly would be in good hands. Today she had a fantastic day with Kim and Murphy. Kim has very good communication providing great pics and a summary of how the day went. Orly looks forward to more upcoming visits.”
“Dawn was exceptional with Winnie. Being a first time puppy owner, I wanted to ensure I found a good sitter for her while I was at work. Dawn was amazing and I look forward to taking Winnie back!”
“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”
“Ed and his family were fabulous. Cooper made himself at home immediately upon getting there. My husband said it was so nice when the entire family came to the door to say goodbye. It was great knowing Cooper was in such good hands.”
“Cindy was amazing as always. Oscar loves spending time with her. She also socialize him with her neighborhood kids and they also play with Oscar. We are happy to see him being loved. Thanks Cindy :)”
“She is wonderful! Liam loved her right away during the meet and greet. From the very first sitting, she went above and beyond. She was supposed to walk Liam and leave him at our house while we were away, but after receiving the hurricane amber alert, she immediately went to check on him and offered to take him to her home. We’re very happy to have found someone we can truly count on in town.”

“I am so lucky that I found Jayson. Our dog is usually shy at first, but she clicked with Jayson. He is kind, caring and I feel so relieved when she is with him for doggy daycare. Jayson responds very quickly and communicates very clearly. His dog, Arnold has made our girl feel comfortable, which is amazing, as she can be apprehensive at times. Jayson will provide lots of photos during the day and keeps me updated on her walks (or hangouts in the backyard when it is too hot). His photos are always accompanied by a text, telling me how she is doing, how her walk was, when she had dinner, etc. I love that Jayson always gives off a calm and happy demeanor, because it not only makes our dog comfortable, but I do not worry at all about her while she is there. If you are looking for someone who provides a fun and calm space, a very chill doggy companion, and lots of care, I 100% recommend Jayson as your pet sitter/walker.”

“Adam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dog’s needs into account during challenging conditions, like weather, making sure she stays well. Adam communicates quickly if something arises and is very adaptable to time changes if he is able to accommodate. We completely trust him with our girl and she now looks very forward to seeing her new friend as well. I highly recommend Adam. He has been a godsend to us.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and have had my own cats and dogs as an adult on my own as well. I am certified in the Canadian Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR. I am very familiar with dog and cat communication and behaviours and how to work with both animals to ensure they are cared for properly. I currently have a cat named Rosie and a dog named Annie. Annie is 2 and loves playing with other dogs. She is fully vaccinated and very friendly. She’ll help burn out the energy of other dogs at the dog park no problem! I have also had experience owning other small household pets as well. Since I have the time and experience, I am looking to assist in helping people find care for their pets while they are at work or away from home. I have full availability at the moment. I am able to discuss discounts for multiple days/nights of care if needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and a large doggy door so that your fur baby will be able to use the door if needed and go outside as they wish to play/ use the bathroom. However, I will also monitor them in case they do not use this doggy door (Annie will show them how to use it!). I am certified by the Canadian Red Cross in Pet First Aid and CPR. I will also send hourly updates from 8 am to 8 pm to send a photo or advise on how your dog is doing and what they are up to. when taking dogs out for walks, I will ensure they are kept off of busy streets and only walk them when the pavement is not too hot for their paws/ grass or trail walks only. If taking dogs to the dog park, I will ensure they are monitored closely to ensure they are in a safe and happy environment without aggressive dogs. I will monitor pets eating and pooping and advise if there are any issues. I will ensure they have enough clean drinking water (we used Brita Filtered water). In the event the dog gets muddy or dirty I can bathe them as well.
About: I provide calm, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with different personalities from energetic to calmer animals that need patience and a gentle approach. I stick to their needs and routines, give lots of affection, and pay attention to behaviour and health changes. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school and have a part-time job but I am free to take care of your pets most weekdays after 3 and weekends. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, litter box or yard clean-up, playtime, and any special care instructions closely. I respect the home by keeping spaces clean and treating everything responsibly. I pay close attention to pets behaviour and comfort levels, and send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away

About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I am passionate about providing the utmost love and care to fur babies of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I actively volunteer at a few animal sanctuaries, including a dog sanctuary where I have the pleasure of playing with, walking, and giving belly rubs to many dogs of different ages, temperaments and physical conditions. I fall in love with every one of them! I have extensive experience with senior dogs and dogs with health issues, including cancer, dementia, heart issues and arthritis. I have experience with wound care and administering medications. I am dedicated to ensuring the safety and happiness of your furry companions. With a mature and responsible approach, I provide attentive care, ensuring your pets feel loved and comfortable. Trustworthy and reliable, I prioritize the well-being of your pets, offering peace of mind while you’re away. I retired from my teaching job to help care for my terminally ill dad. When I’m not volunteering at animal sanctuaries, I’m available for pet sitting. I have had my own fur babies in my home for over 30 years. We didn’t have any pets for the last two years, but we very recently adopted a new rescue named Hana. My schedule is fairly flexible and I’m looking forward to meeting your furry companions. I am dedicated to ensuring the safety and happiness of your furry companions. With a mature and responsible approach, I provide attentive care, ensuring your pets feel loved and comfortable. I have a large unfenced yard, but I love walking and provide as few, or as many walks &/or potty breaks as your pet needs. My dog typically gets 4 walks each day, plus extra potty breaks. Exercise and couch/cuddle time will be tailored to your pet’s needs. For doggy daycare, I only care for one dog at a time (unless there are multiple dogs from one family), so your dog will have 100% of my attention at all times.
“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: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover with hands-on experience working at a kennel, daycare, boarding facility, and breeder. I am also in school studying veterinary medicine!! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages — from giant Irish Wolfhounds to tiny newborn puppies. I also have experience helping train new litters and working with dogs that need extra patience and behavioural support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I’m currently off school for the summer, which gives me lots of flexibility and availability for pet care! I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is very manageable and I still have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, daycare, etc; as long as I have some notice. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve! At the moment I’m unable to offer boarding or care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to travel to clients’ homes for walks, drop-ins and, daycare. I want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own environment!
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.
“Stacey walked my dog for a few days, while I was away. My dog loves loves loves her! Stacey is very reliable, calm and easy going ?. I will definitely reach out for any other help I’ll need with my dog (walks, boarding, day care, in house visits) and I certainly recommend her!!”
About: Hey, I got my start in dog training with my puppy, Hugo, a highly driven Australian Shepherd. I kept running into challenges, and it felt like our relationship couldn’t improve. So, I decided to take an extensive six-month dog training apprenticeship at NobleK9. After that, I worked as a kennel tech, gaining even more hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a balanced dog trainer, which means I use a mix of reinforcement and clear structure to help dogs become well-behaved and confident! Now, I offer private training and dog walking in Kitchener, focusing on real-world results that make life easier for both you and your dog. If you ever have any questions, I’d be more than happy to have a chat! 😊 The great thing is my schedule is very flexible, so feel free to reach out to arrange a meet and greet! Usually I’m either training dogs or walking them! I worked at a dog training facility so I am very knowledgeable in dog body language and how to keep them safe and happy on walks/visits.
About: I have had animals of all varieties my whole life. I've always been the primary care taker for my animals growing up, from birds, to lizards to dogs and more! I worked in the pet industry for several years and truly enjoy working with animals. I offer 1-on-1 walks and drop-in visits, especially for those times you’re stuck at work all day! I have experience with reactive, anxious, and high energy dogs and can ensure I provide them a safe walking experience to fit their needs. I have had cared for senior dogs and cats, as well as those with daily medications and special diets. If there are any requests for special accommodations just shoot me a message and we can chat more about how I can meet your pet care goals! I'm currently not working as I freshly graduated nursing school! Taking the summer off to study for my exam and looking to spend that time caring for clients and potentially continuing long-term if it’s a good fit! I currently only have one cat in the home who is friendly with dogs and other cats as she grew up around both. I have a fenced in yard and two story home with lots of space. If an animal has any special feeding needs I am able to feed them in separate spaces as needed.
About: I have many years of working with dogs professionally, I am currently working full time in the dog walking/training industry. with that i’ve met many different breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs which all i am comfortable with! I am currently in school as well to become a vet tech, so I have some medical knowledge as well! I am mostly available early mornings, evenings, and weekends due to my full time job but please feel free to reach out to see if I’m available outside of those timeframes. I am currently working full time dog in the dog walking/training industry but have a flexible schedule! and would love to see what I can do for you. I have lots of experience caring for animals in their homes as well as my own. I have a property for the animals to run and play on as well as for the check in visits and I have time to come check in on your animals to make sure they are happy and healthy!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if that’s what you want for your loved one .
About: I currently have two senior cats who love nothing more than sleep, I’ve also had dogs almost all my life one being a foster who was having knee surgery at the time I currently don’t work a traditional job so I’m available to walk, play, let your fur babies out and or just come hang out with them! I will provide care based on your guidance as you know your pets best! I would also put my pets safety at top priority as I will do with yours!
“Brianna was awesome and very helpful in walking & feeding our dog while we were away for a few days. He seems quite happy upon our arrival. She definitely went above & beyond and you can tell she is great with dogs.”
About: I have had a pet puppers my whole life. Our dog passed away a few years ago and since have been fostering. We have fostered 2 dogs over the last two years. Both puppies, one was about 5 months and the other about 1 year. Worked with both on training, association, socialization, walks ect. Our house is not ready for a full time pup again but I still have lots of cuddles to give! I currently work from home. Which offers some flexibility when scheduling. I can also bring my laptop to work from your place as well, weather depending I am not offering in my home services, as to not stress my current animals out. Happy to care for them at your place, where you are familiar with the surrounding!
About: I grew up with animals around me while growing up on a farm. I love them, I respect their space and boundaries, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and loved ❤️ Available 7 days a week. Very flexible schedule even on the weekends. I typically spend my day taking care of my 3 cats with varying needs. I will respect your home and do my best to keep it clean and tidy while I’m there. I’ll make sure your pet is comforable, with plenty of play and exercise! I’ll make sure to clean food and water bowls, clean up their waste areas (litterboxes, pee pads, etc.), and give many cuddles if they're comfortable with me!

“We have never used Rover before but loved the concept of having our Boxer looked after in a home setting. After meeting Claudia we knew we had made a good decision. Our girl spent the day there and Claudia reached out a few times to let us know how she was doing. We will definitely be taking our girl to Claudia again. Highly recommend”
“Kimberly and her husband Kevin are fantastic. Orly had her first overnight and came home tired and happy. I know she gets lots of love and attention. She is looking forward to her next vacation at Kimberly's.”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Saksham took great care of Snowy while we were away. We were a bit late for pickup, but he was very understanding and accommodating. Snowy came back happy and well cared for, and it was clear that Saksham treated her with kindness and attention. We really appreciated his flexibility and would definitely trust him with Snowy again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have lived on a farm all my life. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I ensure good care of animals. I would take them for a walk, reward good behaviours with treats. I have a lot of property that I could take a dog to go on a walk. I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Juno, she is 3yr old and she is very friendly to all dogs . Mostly I am at home that gives me availability to take care of dogs on even short notice. I have lots of space on the farm for the dogs which is great for energetic dogs. I always have them on a leash for trust to be built, and so they are next to me at all times. I have my own space in my parents house so a more reserved dog can build trust at their own level.
“This was our first time leaving Molly with Carrie but we were extremely happy with our choice. Carrie kept us informed throughout the weekend with photos and updates which was appreciated. Carrie is very knowledgeable about dogs which is a definite plus. Her dog is very friendly and Molly got along well. Nice to know your pet is having a nice time while you are away. Definitely will use Carrie again.”
“We've never used Rover before, but Madison and Jeffrey have been extremely patient with us and our boy, who is 8 years old and shy with strangers. They send us pics and updates regularly, which is helpful when I worry a lot. They're open to working with our dog's schedule, taking him for walks and letting him have his(overly large) crate to chill out in if he prefers to be there. If you're hesitant about using Rover, reach out to Madison and Jeffrey because they go above and beyond!”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Priyanka was amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone felt comfortable which put my mind at ease. She provided updates throughout Hudson’s stay so I knew how he was adjusting. It was my first time using Rover and Hudson’s first time staying away from home. He was nervous in a new environment and Priyanka went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and ate his meals. Priyanka also has an active walk schedule so his exercise needs were met and consistent with his normal routine. I felt very comfortable my dog was in good hands and will definitely book again in the future. Thanks again! :)”
“Kara was absolutely awesome. She took great care of my dogs Bear and Mac. Bear is a 13 yr old boxer , who has recently gone blind, and kara was great with her. She kept me updated, which put me at ease, and allowed Me to visit with my Mom in hospice free of worry or concern for my two best friends”
“Can’t Thank her enough for her gentle care and warmth with my buddy, Berny…!!! She took utmost care of him whilst I was away for urgent trip, timely notifications and updates, which were perfect to see him enjoying…. THANK YOU AGAIN…!!”
“She had experienced to take care of pets. My pet was not easy to care for but she totally could make him happy and get along with others quickly. We were happy to send my pet to her.”
