“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Heather was perfect for our situation. We had a last-minute opportunity to stay at Blue Mountain and ski for two days. Heather really helped us out. Our dog got lots of walks and Heather sent some photos which was great.”
“Wow! Cindy and her family cared for Madigan like she was family-- I think she misses them already! Our Maddie stayed for two weeks, and Cindy sent us lots of pics and kept us up to date with the fun they were having. Everything was perfect from our end. Highly recommended!!”
“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Anne was an absolute wonderful host for our Mr. Cooper. It was his very own person Bed & Breakfast while we were away. We received updates of his adventures and all the new friends he met. She was very caring and has a great energy about her that Cooper absolutely loved. I would 10/10 recommend Anne!!!”
“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
About: I have owned dogs for over 30 years and am a true dog lover. Being retired allows me to provide full-time, attentive care, patience, and companionship for every dog. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully devoted to your dog’s care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, with plenty of time for walks, companionship, play, and attention throughout the day. I provide daily walks, plenty of playtime, scratches, belly rubs, and constant attention. Your dog will receive lots of love, companionship, and calm, full-time care in a safe, comfortable environment.
“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“We were nervous about leaving our 4 dogs with a stranger and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable ! She had no problems taking out the dogs (including my 100 pound monster lol ) and gave us plenty of updates ! 10/10 dog sitting and I would recommend leaving your fur babies with her any day :)”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love spending time with them.

“Ashley took great care of our kitty, Charlie while we were away! Charlie requires special care and medication for his condition and Ashley took care of all his needs and kept him on schedule. She was very communicative and kept our place clean, we really appreciated that she was sending frequent pictures and updates. We have full trust in her and would highly recommend!”
About: i’ve taken care of & trained dogs and cats of all kinds as well as small animals and horses, all my life! I love it. I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I also drive, and can come to you! I can take care of your pets either in my home or your home! I can drive wherever needed, I know lots of great locations to walk your pups as well!
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!
“A charming caring lady who will do her best with your cat! My cat liked to hide under the bed, but Kimberly was able to coax her out for socializing and meals. I will definitely be using her again if travelling abroad! 5 stars!”
About: Ever since I was young I always loved animals, not only cats and dogs...but each and every animal I see around... I always communicate with them and give them as much as love as I can!! I'm currently enjoying my college life and being with pets gives me a plentiful worthy time to spend with these cuties.Even I have an innovative way of training puppies. I always try to maintain a safe environment for these fur babies and always use to clean and refill the empty bowls and never make them feel bored.
About: Hi! I’m Leah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my two dogs, Winston and Dakota. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel safe, comfortable and confident. My experience goes beyond everyday pet ownership. Growing up, I volunteered with the Oakville Humane Society, where I gained experience around animals with different personalities and needs. I also spent several years volunteering with Frontline K9 Manitoba, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, assisting with basic animal health needs, and supporting rescue and apprehension efforts. One of my greatest learning experiences has been my own dog, Dakota. Dakota is a rescue with a history of dog reactivity, which led me to invest extensively in professional training and learn as much as possible about canine behaviour, body language, triggers and safe handling. I’ve worked closely with trainers and completed multiple training programs with her, giving me hands-on experience managing and supporting a dog with more complex behavioural needs. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, including loose-leash walking, calm and structured walks, polite greetings, jumping, impulse control, basic cues and confidence building. I understand the importance of consistency and will always follow the methods, commands and boundaries you use with your dog. I’m especially understanding of reactive, anxious or sensitive dogs. I know that sometimes a successful walk means creating distance, changing routes, avoiding a trigger or simply giving a dog the time and space they need to feel safe. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt my care to their personality, routine and needs. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, positive and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely understands dogs. Flexible remote work schedule in social work and k9 training. Schedule can vary however I can accommodate whenever I am able! Thank you and talk soon! I am happy to provide care in my home or if required, in your home. Willing to follow your typical routines / structure. We can chat beforehand to make a plan.
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

“Heather accommodated us with a last minute request to watch our pup Rex. She was amazing with Rex and provided updates to us throughout the day. We were running late to pick him up and she was very flexible and gracious to keep him a little longer. He is generally very timid with people and she was very understanding. I could tell she's had lots of experience with different dog personalities. I won't hesitate to ask Heather to watch our pup again. Thanks Heather!”
“Luna returned to Rieko and John’s care for a second time now. Luna loved her time there and had lots of fun on walks, snuggling, and asking for belly rubs! Luna even got to try some homemade pumpkin seed treats!”
“Hi. We would like to thank Michelle for doing such a great job caring for our now 6 month old mini golden doodle. Michelle greeted us each morning with a warm smile. She told us Freddie was doing great and sent videos of him and her 5 year old gorgeous dog Molly. Molly became Freddie’s momma and it meant the world to me seeing how well Freddie was bonding. The socialization was great for our boy. Michelle played some calming meditation music which Freddie loves. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Freddie back for more tender loving care. Thank you Michelle. You are awesome 😎”

About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection.

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

“Heather was perfect for our situation. We had a last-minute opportunity to stay at Blue Mountain and ski for two days. Heather really helped us out. Our dog got lots of walks and Heather sent some photos which was great.”
“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Anne was an absolute wonderful host for our Mr. Cooper. It was his very own person Bed & Breakfast while we were away. We received updates of his adventures and all the new friends he met. She was very caring and has a great energy about her that Cooper absolutely loved. I would 10/10 recommend Anne!!!”
“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
About: I have owned dogs for over 30 years and am a true dog lover. Being retired allows me to provide full-time, attentive care, patience, and companionship for every dog. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully devoted to your dog’s care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, with plenty of time for walks, companionship, play, and attention throughout the day. I provide daily walks, plenty of playtime, scratches, belly rubs, and constant attention. Your dog will receive lots of love, companionship, and calm, full-time care in a safe, comfortable environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“We were nervous about leaving our 4 dogs with a stranger and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable ! She had no problems taking out the dogs (including my 100 pound monster lol ) and gave us plenty of updates ! 10/10 dog sitting and I would recommend leaving your fur babies with her any day :)”
About: Think of this as a boutique, in-home pet boarding retreat — not a kennel. With 30+ years of hands-on experience raising, hosting, and loving just about every creature imaginable — cats, dogs, fowl, rabbits, rodents, and even tortoises (yes, really) — your pet will be in wildly capable hands. Puppies who need gentle training? Seniors who need extra patience and TLC? Shy pets, quirky pets, “my pet is kind of weird” pets? I’ve met them all and adore them deeply. Our home is designed for calm, gentle pet care, nestled on a peaceful 100-acre forest property (freija.ca), which means plenty of fresh air, enrichment, and stress-free vibes. No kids, no chaos — just a quiet, loving environment where animals can actually relax. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet is never left wondering where the humans went. Someone is always around for companionship, playtime, belly rubs, or just existing together (a highly underrated skill). And then there’s Honey, our resident adventure cat and official Welcome Committee. He absolutely loves meeting visiting pets and brings big “friendly camp counsellor” energy to every introduction. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family, understands animals on a deep level, and can handle everything from puppy zoomies to senior snoozes — you just found your place. 🐾💚 My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet gets constant supervision, companionship, and engagement — ideal for puppies needing routine, senior dogs who require extra care, and pets who don’t do well being left alone. There are no children in the home, just experienced adults who speak fluent “animal.” Our home is set up specifically for gentle, low-stress pet sitting, tucked away on a quiet 100-acre forest property (freija.ca). It’s perfect for dogs who love sniffing adventures, cats who enjoy calm observation posts, and pets who thrive in a peaceful environment. No crates by default, no overcrowding, and absolutely no chaos. If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, in-home pet boarding where your pet is treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled), you’ve found it. Your pet brings the personality — we’ve already got the love, patience, and forest vibes covered.
“Your pup will have a great stay! Pamela was very professional. At our meet and greet, she clearly knew how to work with dogs (and loved doing so), but also took no great care to understand my schedule and what I do. She sent oodles of pictures during a 4-day stay, during which my dog was happily playing or snoozing - great peace of mind. On pickup, my dog was happy and cheerful, and much better behaved than when I leave her at a kennel. Will book again!”
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”
