“Krista and Marc were amazing with our dog, made me feel very comfortable to leave my fur baby with them from the first moment I met them. She took such great care of Charlie and gave him lots of love, walks, treats, made him feel safe when he was worried, and sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay. 100% recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Stephanie was incredibly understanding of our dog’s nervous nature and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear he was well cared for and truly felt at home. We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will absolutely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”

“This is the longest our fur baby has ever been away, and we were very nervous. Ashley was amazing took great care of him, sent lots of pictures and videos and we could see he did great! He got lots of walks and made new friends. Ashley was very communicative throughout the process and very responsive. We would highly recommend her!! Thank you for taking such great care of our Mocha!”
“Selina and Pascal were amazing with both our pups! They went on plenty of walks, let them on their couch/blankets to cuddle and gave them alllll the attention. They even have extra dog toys and bed for their visitors :) They sent us plenty of pics throughout the stay; that’s highly appreciated! My dogs were both pooped when I picked them up. Highly recommend them (we are even booking monthly overnights for our dogs to get used to them prior to an extended stay). I will always book Selina and Pascal from now on :)”
“The communication with Chris and his partner was very easy. We received daily pictures and regular updates on how things were going. Happy that I found them to take care of our dog”
“Our dog Toffee had the best time with Soha and her dog Bully. Our dog is a nervous pup, especially in new environments, but Soha made her feel so welcome from the first introduction and is one of the kindest sitters we have had the pleasure of interacting with. We received regular updates throughout Toffee’s stay. We highly recommend Soha and will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Justyne was wonderful with our Rose! She was able to accommodate us at the very last minute for a booking when we needed to leave town unexpectedly. Justyne sent us a photo of Rose within the first 20 mns of her being there - she already had major zoomies and a big smile on her face. We knew Rose was happy. Highly recommend Justyne!”
“Hannah is by far my favourite dog sitter! My dog loves all the attention, cuddles, and adventures he gets and I love all the photos and updates that let me see what a great time he's having.”
“Our dog Pepper had an amazing time staying overnight with Kathrine and her family. Kathrine provided lots of updates and photos and took great care of our anxious girl. Pepper came home happy and tired from a great weekend at Kathrine’s. We will definitely reach out to Kathrine again when we need a sitter for Pepper!”
“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”
“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. She was also very flexible with both pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything convenient and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Jean was wonderful with Shelby! I loved the photo updates and appreciated being kept informed the whole time. When we came home, Shelby was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We would gladly book Jean again!”
“My dogs had a great time with Bridget. They came home happy and tired! She is very quick with communication and was very accommodating on short notice! We will definitely use her again.”
“I'm always so anxious about leaving our Emma with new people but she instantly took to Jason and his son at our meet and greet. This allowed my husband and I to leave on our week-long vacation reassured that she was in good hands. Jason provided a daily update with pictures. When we experienced travel delays, he accommodated us and watched Emma a bit longer. I would definitely recommend Jason and we'll be using him again in the future! Thanks again Jason!”
“Kelly and her son were great with my dog. They sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. This was my first time using Rover and Kelly was the perfect fit for me. I felt confident with her right away. Thank you!”

“Keshia is an amazing pet sitter. She did fantastic job. Our cat is happy and we are grateful as well. We highly recommend Keshia to anybody who needs super professional and responsible pet sitter. Thanks again and all the best!”
“Selina took exceptional care of my cat, Ink, while I was away. She came every single day to feed him, clean his litter, and most importantly, spend real quality time petting and playing with him. Ink has asthma and requires medication, and he can be quite a difficult cat with new people. I was honestly very stressed about leaving him, but Selina completely put my mind at ease. She handled his meds perfectly and was incredibly patient and gentle with him. Every day, she sent me thoughtful updates along with beautiful photos and videos, which reassured me more than she probably knows. It made such a difference being able to see that Ink was comfortable and well cared for. I would strongly recommend Selina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again the next time I travel.”
“Ramona took excellent care of our kitties and sent lots of pictures and video updates daily where the cats were playing and cuddling with her. She also took great care of our home where all was neat and tidy when we came back. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you Ramona!”
“Thank you Kelly for watching Pinot for a few days. You did a great job ! Pinot seemed very comfortable with you. Would recommend Kelly for your pets. Very reliable and dependable. Hope to use your services in the future!”
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by pets of all kinds, including some with chronic medical conditions, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to provide individualized care. I genuinely love animal company—sometimes even more than human company!—and I adapt my care to fit each pet’s personality, whether that means gentle, calm attention for seniors or playful, energetic engagement for younger dogs. I’ve also completed several professional pet behaviour classes with my own pets, so I understand how to help nervous or timid animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Every tail wag, purr, or happy snuggle is meaningful to me, and I strive to make every pet’s experience fun, comforting, and stress-free. I currently work a full-time job in healthcare, but am available on most evenings and weekends! I work the occasional shift work so am also available during the day at times. My services include walks & home visits to your house (either overnight or drop-ins). Due to my own pets, I am unable to take your pet to my house. I am a very clean and organized person and I would ensure to treat your house and space the same as I would my own. I will make sure your furry friends get the best experience I can possibly give, and tailor my care to your pet’s liking!
About: I love cats, they are so cute and I love how each one has their own unique personality! They will be loved & adored in my care. I’ll make sure to follow all instructions carefully and will work hard to build a relationship with your precious baby, at their pace of course! I love learning as much as I can about them so that I can provide the best possible care and an enjoyable experience for them while you’re away.
“Maria was absolutely incredible! She watched my 2 cats and went truly above and beyond. Her communication and timing was excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any type of pet sitter! Thank you Maria!!!”
“Mylo had a wonderful stay with Zarah and her family. I received daily pictures and updates about how he was doing. When picking up Mylo, I was given amazing advice and extra cat supplies like cat treats Mylo had liked more then the ones I sent him with. I would definitely book with Zarah again and recommend her to every pet family if needed. Thank you again Zarah! :)”
About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! I’m the person your pup’s been hoping you’d find. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Think muddy paws, endless fetch, and the occasional epic game of “who can out-stubborn who.” I’ve owned dogs of every size, shape, and quirky personality, and I wouldn’t trade a single slobbery kiss for the world. Here’s what sets me apart: I’m certified in Animal First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross (safety first—always!). I also have hands-on experience in dog rehabilitation and training, so I’m the go-to for pups who need a little extra TLC or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Whether your dog is a high-energy ball chaser, a senior looking for some sunshine and slow strolls, or a shy rescue who needs patience and understanding, I’m here to make their day brighter (and give you total peace of mind).Let’s be honest, your dog deserves someone who’ll treat them like family. That’s exactly what I do. So if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do—and maybe even sneak them an extra treat or two then let’s chat! Ready for your pup’s next favorite human? Book with me, and let’s make some tails wag! I am currently working from home so am available for walks & drop-ins mid day. I am also available anytime evenings and weekends as well. Holidays too if I am around! When I care for pets during drop-in visits or walks, safety and trust are always my top priorities. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your instructions, your dog’s unique needs, and any special routines or quirks. During drop-ins, I do a quick safety check of your home such as making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, and removing anything that could be hazardous to curious noses. I let the dops out for a much needed potty break and top up water bowls. On walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and only go to places you’re comfortable with, whether that’s a quiet neighborhood street or a stroll through a trail. I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.
About: Cats have been a part of my life for years, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. As the proud Mom of Herbie, Linus and Wilbur, I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat is outgoing or shy, I’ll provide patient, dependable care and treat them like one of my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rebecca did a fantastic job with my little girl! The pictures she took made me feel very comfortable with the care Rebecca was giving to Lola. I would definitely have her come back and care for my little girl.”
About: Les chats font partie de mon parcours de vie depuis l’enfance. J’apprécie particulièrement leur indépendance, leur sensibilité et leurs personnalités uniques. Je respecte leur rythme et leurs limites : présence tranquille, jeux, gratouilles à leur demande, repas, litière propre et médicaments oraux au besoin. Avec moi, votre chat peut simplement être… un chat. 🐾
“Christie is amazing! This is the second time she has looked after our cat while I’ve been out of town and she goes above and beyond for him, as well as with care for our apartment. She is very good with communication and very easily adaptable when plans change. She’s the best!”
“Mala was really helpful we had a last minute trip and needed a sitter ASAP and she was there when we needed her. She communicated with us throughout the day and when she left. Great sitter!”
“Lyra was amazing house sitting for us! Not only did we get daily updates on our shy kitty who loved her and warmed to her almost instantly, but Lyra also went above and beyond when a record breaking flood hit Ottawa while we were away- working extra hard than expected to help keep our flooding basement under control and items free from damage. Couldn’t be more grateful! Place was also left spotless, and a happy kitty waiting for us. Would love to book again for all house sittings ☺️☺️”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, taking care of their wants, needs and ensuring a safe environment! I love animals and enjoy providing life enrichment! I am currently looking for part-time work, and am looking to provide this service! I am very flexible to suit the needs of your pet and how you want their day to look! I have a fenced yard, surrounded by parks and have two friendly dogs to keep them company! I could easily follow a given schedule or routine.

About: I have been honoured to be from a very animal Oriented family and have lived on a farm for most of my life. I have cared for and have given the best care and love to animals such as, Guinea pigs, cats, turtles, horses, dogs, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. I was born an animal lover and every animal becomes my family. I can identify special needs in any animal such as first aid, anxiety issues etc I work from home, so your pet has 24/7 attention. Be prepared for your loved one to get 3-4 walks a day along with an hour play time or a trip to the dog park daily! I have a fenced yard. My golden retriever is very patient and loves all types of dogs. If your dog is allowed on the couch or bed, well so is mine. I would rather your dog be able to cuddle and be comfy right beside me during the night to make them feel trust, and feel more comfortable in a strange environment. I am able to make every animal feel like home. Just ask my references … if your dog likes burger patties from McDonalds or pup cups from star bucks… I’m your girl… I am very experienced with highly reactive and aggressive dogs as well. Unfortunately, I do Have a dog of my own, but can manage very well as I am highly trained with aggressive dogs. I believe all dogs can be trained in a well loved and supportive environment once triggers are identified I spoil every animal like it’s my own! Great with puppies and super forgiving. We all make mistakes even if it’s our furniture!!! I have tons of training experience to make this not happen! I am fear based certified as I am a canine enrichment volunteer at the Ottawa Humane Society

She had a long walk, got to play with a new friend and had some cuddly time as well.. communication with Hannah was very smooth and fast.. I received lot of pictures.. when Bailey went home she was ready for a good long nights sleep! I will definitely book with Hannah again!!”
“Erin took care of my 6 month pup for the day and was very communicative, asking about his routine and what he’s been learning so she could reinforce while he was with her. She thoughtfully put a coat on my doodle when it snowed unexpectedly to protect his fur. He came home tired and slept for the evening. I’d happily book care with Erin again.”
“I am beyond thrilled to have come across your profile. Our boys love to go and play with Bridget and the other dogs. I feel so lucky to have someone who loves our fur babies as much as we do!”

“Enzo was comfortable very quickly with Judith. He was also very happy and content when picking him up. He sometimes takes some time to warm to new people but obviously felt very comfortable with Judith. Thank you!”
“Scottie had a great day. Alfie and Mango were waiting for her in the backyard when she arrived. She looks happy in all her pictures and she slept for a few hours when she got home! Thanks Ashley, Scottie will be back.”
“I was on a trip to Ottawa with my English Bulldog Sassy. We needed a sitter 2 times during my stay and Kayla was wonderful with Sassy! She was patient knowing Sassy was on a trip and not doing things that follow her normal routine so she made Sassy feel safe and at home when watching her. She also updated me so I knew Sassy was ok. I would recommend Kayla if you need a puppy sitter! She is Sassy approved 🐶”
“We were extremely happy with Kathrine. Her family treated him like their own. I received photos during Toby’s stay; they ensured that he was walked during the day. I would book another stay without any hesitation! Your dog would be in good hands!”
“She's a very attentive dog sitter. My pup loved her and was so excited to see her. She took her for a walk and my Bella was so excited to also have another dog to play with. Highly recommend her. I also really love the cute pics she took.”
“Millie spent her first day with Mellissa and it went so well! She was given so much attention and loving and enjoyed playing and co-existing with the gentle giant Jasper. Mellissa sent me several updates, photos and videos throughout the day to reassure us that all was well. Thank you so much Mellissa!”
About: I have had my own dog and/or taken care of friends and family's dogs for close to 40 years. Now that I'm retired, I am home all day and available for walks, potty breaks, playtime throughout the day and evenings. We have nice walking paths for plenty of socialization or quiet streets for those who are more on the timid side. Work is now a thing of the past, ready to spend time with more furry four-leggers and less time with bossy two-leggers lol. My days are all about my dogs, reading and going for walks. I have a fully fenced yard, not a huge yard though which is why we prefer to go for multiple walks a day for exercise. Our dogs are always allowed on our furniture as we see them as a member of the family and not just some pet. Fresh water is always available 24/7.
“Francisco took good care of Bailey and Casper. Casper can sometimes be a handful but Francisco was patient and gave him lots of space to settle in. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. Thank you!”
“I’m so lucky to have found Mihoko and Joshua to care for my pup. They treat him like their own dog. My dog was a bit nervous when he first went to them but they won him over almost immediately and he now rushes to greet them. He has a great time with them and their family including Night who’s become a bestie of his. He’s always happily tired and I feel at ease knowing that he’s being looked after the best people possible. Thank you so much!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”

“Shanna is punctual , attentive & extremely caring. She loves dog & it shows. My dogs LOVE when Shanna walks in to see them or give them a walk. She takes her time when she is with them & ensure they are fulfilled with exercise & mental enrichment. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Krista was great with communication and confident with her care of my reactive dog! She did such an amazing job and kept me in the loop during the whole visit. Would love to have Krista come back again and walk Zoey!”
“Keshia has been amazing with our dog, immediately being comfortable with some of his less than desirable behaviours (ex jumping) while at the same time making our dog feel comfortable. She has been professional and reliable, and a life saver with quick reponses and last minute walks. Dexter and us are very appreciative of your help!”
“Ramona looked after our dog, Penny, on very short notice while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier. She responded quickly, came over the very same day to meet Penny, and immediately put us at ease with how kind and caring she was. Throughout our trip, she sent lots of photos and updates, made sure Penny was well cared for and fed, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking Ramona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
About: Hi! We’re Selina and Pascal, longtime dog lovers with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, we’ve shared our home with (and cared for!) everything from playful Pugs and Frenchies to energetic Aussies, loyal Golden Retrievers, goofy Doodles, gentle St. Bernards, cuddly Chihuahuas, and many others in between. We’re comfortable with dogs who are high energy, low key, seniors, puppies, or those who need a little extra medical attention, including medication or special routines. Our family team includes us both as well as my 16 year old son, Jesse, who loves helping out and giving dogs lots of affection. We recently lost our beloved Bella, a French Bulldog mix, so we have plenty of space in our hearts (and home!) for your pup. I currently work from home full time, so dogs in our care are rarely alone. And if I ever need to step out, Pascal works nearby at the post office and can easily pop in to keep pups company. Long story short: there’s almost always someone around! We’re dedicated to giving each dog the same warm, personalized care we’d want for our own; daily walks (up to 4 times!), playtime, cuddles, mental stimulation, and lots of love. Just let us know any special needs or quirks so we can tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. 🐶💛 Please note: we can’t host cats in our home due to our son’s allergies, but we’re happy to offer drop ins. Since I currently work from home full‑time, pet care naturally fits into my daily rhythm. Regular walks, feeding times, potty breaks, and play sessions are built right into my schedule. I adjust the day based on each dog’s needs, whether they thrive on extra exercise, prefer frequent short outings, or just love being close for cuddles. And with Pascal working nearby at the post office, there’s always someone available to pop in if I need to step out. This means your pet gets consistent companionship and is rarely ever alone. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priority. In our home, pups are treated just like family, free to relax, explore, play, and enjoy plenty of affection. Since I work from home and Pascal works nearby, dogs are rarely left alone for long. They get several daily walks, outdoor time, and a calm, cozy environment to help them feel completely at ease. One thing that’s really important to us: we only host one family’s pets at a time. That means no mixing unfamiliar dogs from different households. This helps ensure everyone, pets and humans, stays comfortable, stress free, and safe. Plus, your pup gets 100% of our attention and care, with no competition for space, toys, or affection. Cat care is available through drop-ins as we can’t host cats in our home due to allergies.
About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting as of January 1, 2027. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I don’t have any obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 For now, I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). As of January 1, 2027, I will be fully retired and available 24/7. I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. I’m pretty good at interpreting the signs for potty time, but I love learning as much as I can from you about what your baby’s habits, needs and preferences are. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and happy, and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing, even when sniffing the ground, making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!

I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs big and small since I was a child. My mother and aunt run a dog kennel with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. They also run a local breeding service giving me lots of experience with dogs young and old. I currently still own a bernadoodle who loves his walks I’m sure as much as your dog does too. I work shift work and on my days off love staying active when I’m not with my children. I love being outside and what better excuse to have than to help get your loved ones some exercise. I am strictly a dog walker or someone who can come to your house and let your animals out in the yard for a stretch and exercise.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up, one at my moms and one at my dads, I now live alone and would love to help with your little fur babies! I have 4 pets right now two bunnies and two cats.

I’ve dog sat a few times for the same family and if you have a routine for your pets I’ll gladly follow what your looking for, I also have a routine for mine as well, so whatever works best for you!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, from my two beloved cats, Easton and Leo, to rabbits, a conure, chickens, ducks, and fish. I genuinely love and respect all animals, and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they’re playful kittens or shy seniors, and I take the time to connect with them in a calm, respectful way. You can count on me to provide trusted, compassionate care, just like I do for my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your cat the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day.

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I have a fenced yard, surrounded by parks and have two friendly dogs to keep them company! I could easily follow a given schedule or routine.
About: I have a wealth of experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was 11. Families in my community trust me to walk, feed, and love their pets. I usually start my day by walking my dog, I am currently available every day during week and weekend to care for the needs of your pet. It’s crucial to prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment when caring for pets. When I take care of pets, i make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. As well as spend quality time with pets ensuring they feel safe and loved in the environment.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.
