“Thank you for watching Pete! Pete spent a week with Shannon while I was away. Shannon kept me updated daily, sent pictures, followed all instructions, and provided Pete with so much love. Her home is tidy and neat - a safe place for all pets. I will definitely book with Shannon again! Thank you for a seamless experience :)”
“Winnie had THE BEST TIME with Arlene and Kevin! Winnie takes a while to warm up to people and Kevin and Arlene gave Winnie the space to do that, but the time she was picked up, Winnie had fully adopted Arlene and Kevin as her people ❤️. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our goofball!”

“Erin and Chad were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Aspen. They took such great care of her overnight, kept me updated with photos, and made sure she was comfortable even though she can be an anxious pup! Kind, dependable, and clearly dog lovers!! I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! Thank you both 🐕”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“Bego was an amazing host to our pup. We were away for about 11 days and we didnt feel uneasy at any point. The communication was constant with pictures and you could tell the pup was happy from the pictures. Would definitely come back. Thanks, Bego ?.”
“Camila is a 5-star quality rated person. She gave daily updates with photos, video and messages gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was well cared for. We couldn't be more grateful for her trustworthiness, reliability, and loving approach. Our pet received proper care, exercise, and love from the entire family.”
“Another excellent stay with Deepti and Sachin, our go-to sitters in Guelph. Great communication, lots of love and exercise for our dog. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is well cared for. Highly, highly recommended.”
“Kathryn has been awesome. For our first experience with Rover ,Kathryn has made it such a wonderful experience. She loved our pup and treated him like he was her own. We so appreciate how comfortable she made us feel while we were away. Highly recommend her.”
“Annette literally welcomed Shadow with open arms from the second they met and it just got better from there! Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“I highly recommend booking Jean to care for your furry friend, the next time you need to step away from your day-to-day. As a repeat customer, Jean has always displayed intentional acts of deep care & kindness, all in the best interest of my fur babies wellbeing & happiness. She is curious - asks questions, with the goal of understanding our dogs likes, dislikes, etc. - in an effort to help ensure their comfort & feelings of safety in your absence. Additionally, Jean is also very creative in finding ways to support our pups health & happiness in moments when they may be feeling a bit off from being in a new environment, missing their people or routine. For example, she offers: - Healthy meal options/toppers to help support regular eating (always with prior discussion & approval); - Always having fresh water available; - Provides new and varied enrichment opportunities; - Personality matching her client-dogs if hosting multiple family pets at the same time; - Etc. In addition to her outstanding client-dog care, Jean runs her Rover business wonderfully. I am completely impressed with her professionalism and customer service.”
“Uchenna was the ideal host for Piper! She was kind, communicated great, and sent frequent updates and pictures. Having her dog Owen around was a huge comfort, Piper had a sweet companion by her side the whole weekend. Her location right near the trails meant plenty of outdoor time for the dogs. As first-time boarders, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Uchenna again!”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
“Incredible satisfied with choosing Kathleen to watch my dog! For anyone reading this review, I’d highly recommend Kathleen if you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog as if they were their own!”
“Melissa is amazing! Our pups settled quickly and got along well with her, partner, Peter and dog, Marty! Melissa was a great communicator and sent lots of pics. Highly recommend! Caleb & Karie”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our Rosie. She provided regular updates and pictures. She was attentive to Rosie and even pointed out that one of her ears was starting to look red and offered to take her to our vet. Rosie did will with Finn also (I'm sure he will be missing his annoying little dog-sister!) I cannot recommend Jen enough. I am so glad we found you and will be requesting your services whenever we go away!”

“Good communication, did everything that was asked of her, respectful to me, my cat, and our home. She was a good sitter and was willing to help out on short notice, which was much appreciated. Will absolutely book again next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: PEACE OF MIND... that is my gift to you while you are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and home in the hands of someone who is mature and trustworthy. You can rest assured that daily walks and lots of time outside (if that is what your pet wishes) will be what in store during your time away.) Have a lovely vacation! Your home becomes my home while you are away... which includes caring for all the needs of your loved one. Rest assured that they become my top priority while you are enjoying yourself. Caring for your pet is all about knowing what they wish... which is why you will give me a "wish list" that I can refer to each day.
“Nova was exceptional once again. They went above and beyond to make sure that all 4 of our cats were taken care of. Highly recommend if you need someone to look after your loved ones.”
“Came last minute to help us out and did an amazing job. Cannot recommend enough for drop-in visits. There was a ton of rain and we had a minor leak, Izabella went above and beyond and cleaned it up and let me know immediately. We so appreciated her help.”
“Liz was so great with my cats! We came back after a three week trip and they were very happy and healthy. We also have a very messy guinea pig and Liz kept her so clean and well fed, I don't think she even noticed we were gone! Thank you Liz!”
“Shelley was amazing! I felt so comfortable having her come and check on my two cats while I was away, and she took perfect care of them! The communication and photos were great!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner and love since I can remember! I’m highly attuned to feline body language and behavior, which helps me understand each cat’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s giving space to a shy cat, engaging a playful one, or recognizing subtle signs of stress or comfort, I prioritize making every cat feel safe, respected, and cared for. Your cat’s wellbeing and happiness will always come first with me.
About: I've absolutely loved cats for as long as I can remember. I have a 6-year-old cat of my own, and she's a huge part of my life. Being a cat owner has taught me that every cat has their own unique personality. Some are playful and curious, while others prefer quiet naps and their own space. I love getting to know each cat and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I've looked after cats for friends and neighbours through drop-in visits, helping with feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and keeping them company while their families are away. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and make them feel comfortable in their own home. I'll care for your cat just like I care for my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I can also send photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy and well cared for!
“Lisa was so great! She was responsive to my request and set up a meet and greet right away. I left things until the last minute to book care, and she was totally on it and had our backs. Bridget was well cared for and happy, and got lots of attention and love from Lisa. We loved seeing pictures and hearing updates each day.”
“Taylor took great care of our 3 cats and our home while we were away. Everything was spotless when we returned home and it was clear our crew was well taken care of and happy while we were gone. From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She sent thoughtful updates and photos and completely made us feel at ease. We recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Odin had such a good time that he didnt come to door to see me when I got home after 1.5 hours with Shannon. This is unheard of from my puppy. I was both happy and a little offended lol. Shannon has a good energy and dogs feel it.”
“Kristen was absolutely wonderful from start to end. She went above and beyond in caring for our little creatures, gave insulin without a problem, sent wonderful pictures and updates!”
“Lauren took such good care of my two cats, one of which requires insulin injections twice daily. When our trip was extended due to the Air Canada strike, Lauren was so accommodating. She’s friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable about their unique medical needs. I’ll be using Lauren’s services exclusively whenever I need a cat sitter!”
“Erin and Chad were great! I had a last minute request and they were able to fulfill that. They gave lots of belly rubs and pictures of both animals. I would definitely use them again. Thanks!”
About: After living with cats in every house since I was young, I’ve come to feel a close bond to cats. I seem to have a knack for befriending any kind of cat, or finding a harmony. This expanded later on into caring for other cats, which came naturally to me. Since then I’ve and the opportunity to care of many cats, and quite a few homes as well. Some of these involved staying for weeks, and I make myself available for those times. I work well with most animals, but cats are especially close to me, and it’s a privilege to meet each unique little friend.
“Melissa took great care of our 11 year old cat who is infrequently left alone. She was communicative, reachable and sent lots of pictures! We would surely hire her again. Our kitty has never been left with a stranger, and they did great together.”
About: I’ve always had cats and I know that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and boundaries. Whether your cat is a professional cuddler, a playful troublemaker, or prefers to watch everything from a safe distance, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable! When caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.

“Shelley was great and very detailed with follow up information as well as upon pick up. She treated my “baby” as one of her own. She was positive and helpful and my dog had a happy & positive experience for his first visit with other cuties there. I look forward, when needed, to take my dog 🐶 there again. Thanks Shelley!!”
“Samantha was amazing and made the overall process very comfortable. We had to leave our 4 month old Cavapoo (Kylo) for the entire day with her and in the morning he wasn’t feeling great but she still managed to take care of him. Samantha provided constants updates with cute pictures of Kylo and that ensured that we were at peace. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“Luckiest day of my dog’s life EVER! Nguyet met us and was instantly warm and welcoming neither of us had any separation anxiety. Maggie spent several hours walking in woods, streams and city streets- so much variety and stimulation. She ate her dinner and even had time for a snuggle. I know this because I got photo and video updates every 20 minutes! Makes me wish I could tie on a tail and spend quality time with Nguyet too! Cannot RECOMMEND her enough!”
“Deepti and Sachin always take wonderful care of Moxie. She is excited to see them and, based on Deepti's stellar communication throughout the stay, I know she has a great time with them. Lots of walks and cuddles!”
“Shannon was fantastic! Sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the day. She is friendly, understanding, and incredibly caring with my dog Pete. Home is well kept and a safe place for pets! I greatly appreciate her help. Will definitely book again, thanks, Shannon!”
About: I’ve been with dogs since i was a kid, love taking care of them and just being with them! Friends and family have always relied on me with their furry babies! I am available full time to take care of your pets including boarding them at my house to walking them! I am also available on weekends I have a large sized apartment with a decent balcony facing a yard and a park. I can easily take care of and accommodate 2 small dogs in my house.
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a stranger and we were very concerned about how our rescue would react. Bego was excellent and both dogs were happy and very comfortable in her home. It's such a relief to know that we now have a safe caring environment to leave them in when we travel. I recommend Bego 100 percent!”
“Camila did an amazing job of taking care of Sparky. We were a little anxious, more than Sparky, of how Sparky will be as we hadnt sent Sparky to a day boarding facility for few years and he was showing some seperation anxiety. But Camila has managed the situation well. We will be dropping off Sparky again ar Camila’s place soon.”
About: I have always been growing up with pets in my lifetime. I am experienced with dogs big and small. Cats of different breeds. I have experience with rabbits and chickens as well. I am currently retired and at home most of the time. We have a fenced large sized backyard that the dogs can play in safely. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. They are allowed to go in and out whenever they wanted. I do meet and greet to make sure dogs have good temperament that they can get along with each other. I am flexible in time schedule so I can always be at home to ensure dogs are safe and get along with each other. Breaking conflicts before they even started.
“My experience with Deb was absolutely stellar. She is so welcoming and is clearly a dog lover. Moxie and Archie had tons of fun together, with lots of active time. Communication with Deb was great from beginning to end. Thanks a million for the great care!”
“Maggie Mae had another fantastic time with Pei! Pei insures that Maggie gets a lot of exercise and enrichment and is great about sending photos and videos of what Maggie Mae is up to. Pei's house is definitely becoming one of her favourite places.”
About: I grew up with two family dogs, a dachshund and a german shepherd and wanted dogs in my life ever since I moved out from home. I waited patiently for 7 years until I could buy a house with a backyard to get my fur baby. Nala, our bernese mountain dog is the first child in mine and my wife's life. We both work from home and can give the care and special attention that your pupper deserves. We live close to great leash-free dog parks and trails, so your pup is guaranteed to have a lot of play and fun. We also do realize that each dog is an individual and special care instructions will be duly followed. I and my partner are fully vaccinated. We are both professionals working from home, so we have plenty of time during the day to tend to your dog's needs. During the day, we will make sure your dog is taken out as per your instructions. In the evening, we take our dog for long walks and would be happy to take your dog along. Your pet will get a lot of attention, cuddles, love and care. We are also flexible to your needs. We have a fully fenced yard where your pet can play with our 1.5 years old friendly dog. Your dog can run around in the backyard with their favourite toy. We would certainly be keeping an eye out from our garden gazebo and make sure that your dog is never unattended.
About: I grew up with pets and have loved them ever since. I have had many furry friends over the years and appreciate the company of a good dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. With working from home on a regular basis, looking after a dog works well. I just lost our old Golden Retriever Rosie this summer and it has left a hole in my heart, especially her furry companion, Finn the ragdoll cat. If you have a Great Friendly Dog that is Totally comfortable with cats, please reach out to me as I would love to give them some love while you are away. I love hiking and walking so would look forward to doing this with your furry friend. I have a fenced back yard but would expect to give good daily walks for your dog. They could be in and out of the house as they wish.
“John's communication was great, from initial contact to pick up. He was very excited to be able to show off all of Moxie's walks on her Rover card. She got lots of activity and enjoyed John's backyard. Thanks a lot!”

I love animals & spend lots of quality time with them. Im working hybrid and available 3 days a week plus weekend. I can take your dog for walks if I am working from home or on the weekends. I have a nice pathway near my home with a lot of greenery for walks & a warm + pet friendly home. My friends & family trust me often to take care of their animals.
“Excellent communication and flexibility. Jennifer and Jason’s home is a dog paradise. Yvie had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend their daycare service. They are both very knowledgeable and caring dog owners. Yvie even got so comfortable that she ate all her food during the day! Thank you both for helping her overcome some of her anxiety.”

“Taylor came by for another walk with Hershey and he was so well taken care of ! We had a very well exercised dog on our hands for the rest of the day and he just loves her - tries to bring her all of his toys to convince her to stay once they’re back.”
“Nova was great with our Vizsla! He is definitely a goofball and overly excited but she made friends with him quickly and he really seemed to enjoy his walk with her! Will for sure book again!”
“Kristen is an amazing dog sitter. From the first she walked our two male dogs, she demonstrated not only professionalism but love with the GSD and Jack Russel. They are both strong and energetic dogs but she handles them with grace. From the moment they met Kristen, both dogs took a liking to her. She has been very reliable and available to help us out when we needed her on short notice. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she delivers 5 star service every single time and the dogs are always happy to see her and popped out after she walks or babysit them. Thank you Kristen”
“Izabella was great with our Siberian Husky. She was walked, watered and fed when we were not home. Izabella is reliable and I was not worried at all while we were away.”
“Shelley is great! Quick responses and always updates me with how the walks went as well as a cute picture of my baby while I’m away at work. Great with my dog whom is very protective of her home.”
“I've booked with Hayden twice now and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog(s). My dogs love their walks with Hayden, and I will certainly book them again.”
“We were nervous about hiring a dog walker for the first time, but Alexis put us at ease right away. She also stepped in on short notice during a hectic time for us, which we really appreciated. Alexis was friendly, reliable, and communicative, and handled our reactive dog, Ebenezer, with confidence. Ebenezer always came back happy and clearly bonded with Alexis very quickly. We’d definitely trust her again with our dogs!”
“Angelina was so sweet with my dog! She took her for a lovely walk to the park, played ball with her, and gave her lots of love and attention. I’m so happy knowing she was in such caring hands. Thank you, Angelina! 🤍”
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds my whole life, and have a very deep resonance with cats especially. I’ve had one in every house I’ve ever lived. As this was natural to me, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many cats and homes over the years, sometimes for extended stays. So far, there isn’t a cat I haven’t been able to befriend or at least find harmonious ground. I’m very confident in my ability to take care of these wonderful pets. Though I’m specialized in taking care of cats, my care has been extended towards all animals, and so I have a naturally affinity to caring for any pet. This includes both birds and dogs. I’ve always been able to get along with dogs just as much as cats. In the past few years I’ve had even more opportunity to care for them in my home when their owner leaves. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, and attending to any other instructions. I’ve also assisted in caring for a dog and a home in the past year. This experience has been for both seasoned dogs and puppies, and I love the unique personalities of each. I’m confident in working with small to medium type dogs, though I love the large ones too! I would also love to continue gaining experience with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently student online working towards a diploma, and I’ve left my schedule very flexible to be available to care for the pets of others! Any time of the week will do, when not taking care of other bookings, and I can make myself available. Currently living with a beautiful black cat named cricket, who loves to stop for attention in the hallways and get chin scratches in the Kitchen. As for the home of others, I do my best to bring my utmost respect to the home and attention to instructions, giving proper play time, affection, special care to walking for the unique needs of each dog, and feeding schedules amongst other roles. I take pride into maintaining the safety and standard of the home when in care or it.
About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and a genuine love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, from playful and energetic to calm and reserved. I pay close attention to behaviour, routines, and cues, making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I approach every dog with patience, responsibility, and care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I work part-time with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, accommodating last-minute requests, or spending extra time with your pet, I’m able to prioritize their care and ensure they receive reliable, attentive support. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to behaviour and surroundings, making sure pets are safe at all times, whether that means secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, or keeping a calm and clean environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience where pets feel cared for and owners feel reassured.
“Jessica is the best! Very accommodating and patient with our little Maltese-Pomeranian. She was able to help us out within 1 days notice and Theo just loves her (and we do too)!! Would and have recommended her to all my friends who have dogs and might need assistance!”
“Stefan takes great care of Junie on her walks. She has now memorized the schedule, and on the days Stefan is coming, she gets excited before the doorbell rings. I can see how much he loves dogs, and the connection he is building with Junie.”
About: I have had experience taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. My best friends had four legs and I saw them well into their senior years. I have adopted my own Rio and he has filled my heart with so much love. Animals really are angels 💕 I work remotely at my own pace so I have time throughout the day to enjoy the beautiful nature and what better way than to have some great company join too! In my clients home I respect the home I am in and only keep to the places that I need to be. I always leave the home clean and tidy. I give your pets the space they need in order to get comfortable with me. After all it is their home and I’m the guest.

“Winnie had THE BEST TIME with Arlene and Kevin!

Thank you so much for taking such great care of our goofball!”

“Jennifer was fantastic with our Rosie. She provided regular updates and pictures. She was attentive to Rosie and even pointed out that one of her ears was starting to look red and offered to take her to our vet. Rosie did will with Finn also (I'm sure he will be missing his annoying little dog-sister!) I cannot recommend Jen enough. I am so glad we found you and will be requesting your services whenever we go away!”
“We recently adopted Daisy (our 80+ lb lap dog), and because of her size, we were nervous about finding the right fit for her first time away from us. From the very first message and phone call, through to a meet & greet, Catharine was welcoming and clearly confident in handling large dogs. Daisy had a bit of trouble settling in on her first night, and Catharine immediately reached out to collaborate with us on how to make her comfortable. Throughout the 5-night stay, Daisy was treated like family and Catharine provided fantastic updates and photos - long walks, patio lunches, lots of sun-bathing and fun :) When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, exhausted, and clearly incredibly well-loved. Catharine is professional, communicative, and truly an expert caregiver. We will absolutely be rebooking for future trips when available!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities through rescue. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those needing extra patience or medical attention. I also trained puppies for Autism Dog Services, helping build strong foundations in obedience and confidence, and worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, giving me valuable knowledge of animal health, behavior, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home, so your animals needs will be met all day. I have a flexible schedule so even if you are crate training or socializing, I’m able to come and go as I please. My home is thoughtfully set up to meet the needs of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As an active foster, I have a variety of tools and equipment to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable, including a fenced yard, crates (when appropriate), x-pens, and separate areas throughout the home. If I have a foster dog during your pet’s stay, I can easily provide each dog with their own dedicated space to ensure an stress-free environment. I prioritize one-on-one attention, individualized care, positive reinforcement training, and safe socialization based on each dog’s comfort level and needs.
About: Hi! So, growing up with a cat, I always wanted a dog (isn’t that always the way?). Within 6 weeks of purchasing our first home, rather than paint or get furniture, we got Dexter, a now 16-year old sheltie/terrier/pug cross (neutered). 3 years later we adopted Juno, a purebred Shiba Inu rescue from Ohio. Juno crossed the rainbow bridge at age 13 in November 2025 and I quickly realized I have far too much love for pets in me to only have one dog in my life! Oh and my son, who has grown up with TWO dogs, says he wants a cat. I am pet first aid certified through Canadian Red Cross. I am comfortable with multiple dogs at once in any shape, age or size. I also have experience house sitting cats and bunnies. I am self-employed and work remotely so I currently have a wide range of availability (weekdays, mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends) to play with/supervise your pet! I have a large fenced in yard with one calm senior dog (male, neutered) and two small sized crates available if needed. I am an avid walker and have experience walking multiple dogs at once. I also have experience house sitting cats, bunnies and fish and am happy to try and not kill your plants.
