“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“Luna came home absolutely pooped from her weekend with Deborah and Eric - They showed her so much love and attention and play I think she will sleep for days!! They were attentive to her needs; made sure she got her meds and worked so well with her potential for reactivity on walks. They were so easy to communicate with and sent us so many updates to help us feel at ease while we were away. 10/10 stay, we will for sure be booking with them again.”
“Cynthia and David were amazing. They took wonderful care of my senior dog, Maya. Regular updates and pictures along the way allowed us to relax on our holiday knowing Maya was in safe hands. We’ll definitely book again with them next time we’re away.”
“I cannot say enough about May and her family. Parker’s stay was seamless and left me with a calmness about leaving him. May seems to truly enjoy pups and taking care of them. I definitely recommend May and Parker shall be visiting them again soon! Thanks May. Barbara”
“Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.”
“Anna was amazing with Loki! She kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. Loki had such a great time with her and clearly had a lot of fun with his little buddies there in the backyard.”

I am so pleased and thankful to find such a kindhearted , caring , fun, dog sitter . Georgie was so lucky to of had Zixain for the week . I can't thank her enough . I will be using her again for sure and recommend her . Thank you”
“Jennifer and her husband were amazing I've been searching for someone to watch Tyson that he was comfortable with and we found our match ;) I will definitely be rebooking . communicated with me throughout stay and I was able to go to my event and enjoy without worrying .”
“Lexi enjoyed her time with Melanie and she was very well looked after by her. The daily updates with pics was awesome to receive, it’s hard to leave your pet but when you have a good home you feel better and that is exactly how I felt because of Melanie and her care for Lexi. I would highly recommend her to everyone and of course will use her again next time for Lexi, thank you Melanie for looking after my Lexi so well.”
“Kerri-Lynn was great with our dogs, one of which is 14 years old and deaf and one who is timid and afraid of new places. She kept sending pics of pur dogs throughout the night and it was obvious they had settled in perfectly and comfortably!”

We got regular updates, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed he was. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”

She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”

Will definitely use her services again, and would absolutely recommend her for any cat parents looking for a kind, reliable, and consistent sitter for their fur babies.”
“Paige has been helping us for a while now with our little ones and we are beyond grateful for the care that she provides. From the first visit to our most recent, it has always been very clear that she has a genuine love for animals and it really shows with how much our cats adore her. The time and effort that is given to all of their individual routines or “quirks” is phenomenal and gives us so much relief knowing that we don’t have to worry while we are away. She truly goes above and beyond every time to make sure that even our most nervous little one is comfortable, loved, and taken care of down to the smallest little things. Communication throughout the visits is top-tier and we love receiving the updates and pictures of what’s happening. Paige has become a trusted part of our furry family and we are so very thankful for her time, care and dedication to our kitties every time! Thank you again Paige!!”
About: In the economy, none of my friends have kids— just cats. And who were they going to call to take care of those cats when they went on vacation? Fun Aunt Emily. And now I have two one-eyed rescue cats of my own! Which is something I never thought I would say. I am a bit of germophobe, and cat litter is my number one fear. That is why I ALWAYS take extra care in cleaning and disposing of litter. I want to be sure that litter will not be trailed through the house! Being ignored for most of the day until the cats want to come and make endless murder biscuits on my legs almost makes it worth it.
About: I bring extensive, hands-on experience in cat care, ensuring your feline companions are happy, healthy, and secure while you are away. My background includes expertly administering both oral and topical medications, managing specific dietary needs, and providing consistent, compassionate socialization for anxious cats. What truly sets my service apart is my meticulous attention to detail; I pride myself on maintaining a pristine environment, including deep-cleaning litter boxes to prevent odors and health issues. Whether your cat needs gentle playtime, careful health monitoring, or just a familiar presence in their home, I treat every pet with the patience and high level of care they deserve, giving you absolute peace of mind.
About: I’ve loved cats since I was very young! While I didn’t grow up with cats or have any of my own, I have gained experience through friends and family members. Although my experience in cat care is limited, I am eager to learn and grow. I am very understanding, patient, and have done thorough research on cat care. My schedule is incredibly flexible and tailored to your cats’ needs! I will gladly send you updates through calls, videos, or photos, and with your consent, I’ll capture beautiful photos using my digital camera. I’m happy to visit your cat whenever it best fits their and your schedule. I also enjoy playing with your feline friend using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending extra time for snuggles, pets, and grooming while I’m there!
About: I have been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. I previously volunteered at an animal shelter. My friends regularly leave their cats in my care when they travel, and I love providing them with safe, gentle, and reliable attention.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby and I love getting to know their individual personalities! They’re just like people but cute and fluffy! And they drag littler on the bed…Anyways, I have experience brushing, trimming claws, wiping (if needed). As well as experience giving them medicine. And of course cleaning the litter box AND hair balls which are conveniently always on the carpet. I hope to get to opportunity to see your fluffs!
“Persephone took great care of my boy during a recent trip. She was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry, which was a huge relief given that it was pretty last minute, and she still made time for a quick meet and greet. Persephone was kind and helpful and really allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my boy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her when needed in future. Many, many thanks Persephone.”
About: I have cat-sat for various loved ones over the years, and even formed a bond with an outdoor cat that roamed my previous neighbourhood. I love to capture pictures of cats, too, as they are just so precious!
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was young, caring for neighbourhood cats and for my friends cats when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve also cared for cats during my volunteer work at an animal shelter and during my time at an animal daycare. I have experience administering oral medication and caring for senior cats.
About: I've been a cat lover and cat owner for at least 25 years. I've had a cat, if not multiple, since I was born and helped take care of them. I enjoy the playful ones, sassy ones, and snugglers. Of course, I have no issues cleaning litter boxes or doing any deep cleans or vacuuming if needed. If you'd like me to brush, bathe, and trim their nails, I have experience doing this too. Working in the veterinary field at 4 different clinics, I have personal and professional experience and I'd love to help you out. Through Red Cross, I have also attained my First Aid & CPR training on cats and dogs. Let's talk!

“Svetlana and Arthur are truly amazing! I’m so glad I got to know them and was able to leave my dog, Lola, with them while we spent a day in Hamilton—with complete peace of mind. From the moment I booked Lola, they were incredibly communicative. They video called to show me their home, their adorable dog, and the environment where Lola would be staying. On the day of, they walked us through their house to reassure us it was fully pet-proof and safe. They were so kind and attentive to Lola, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and entertained. They kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos, and their lovely son even made a sweet video of Lola filled with hearts and love! It’s clear they truly enjoy what they do and have endless love for dogs. I highly recommend this wonderful couple for anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters.”

“Shelley and her lovely dog Dixie made me feel confident about boarding my dog with them. Our meet and greet was informative and watching how the dogs tolerate each other is important. I'm so glad it went well. Thank you for accommodating us all day today.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! From the moment we inquired about booking she was fast at responding, had lots of flexibility when I had to reschedule & took Meisha on last minute! During her daycare stay I was updated throughout the day, when she ate breakfast, potty breaks, snuggle time & walks - Ashley and her son took her for an hour walk which was an amazing surprise! I ended up being way later than I thought because of the weather & traffic & she reassured me not to worry & to take my time. I am beyond happy with our service & will absolutely be booking with Ashley (& fam) again in the future! Thank you so much! Meisha had so much fun & is so going to sleep so well tonight:)”

About: I love dogs! When I was younger, I worked in animal hospitals with dogs of all breeds and ages. I've also previously worked at a dog daycare and a dog groomer. Dogs are my heart, and I've owned three of my own, and have experience with seniors and raising a puppy. I love all ages, but I have a big soft spot for the old and young pups. I'd love to take care of your baby and go for adventures together in Hamilton. I have extensive experience administering medication and injections. I work from home, so I'm available 24/7 to hang out with your dog or cat! Depending on your dog's needs, I'd love to take them for a few neighborhood walks a day, or for hikes if that's something they would enjoy. I only take one pet at a time (unless they're from the same household), so I can give your baby my undivided attention. I walk all dogs on a two-leash system for added safety and never let dogs off leash or go to dog parks. I have solid veterinary knowledge and can stay calm and react appropriately in emergencies.
About: I've had the opportunity to care for several dogs over the years, and have enjoyed welcoming friends' pets into my home. Since the passing of my own dog, I have started pet-sitting casually for friends, and am now seeking to widen my client base. I am conscientious and seek to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I'm currently available all day to care for your pet. I have flexible pickup and drop-off hours. I can provide multiple walks per day and frequent bathroom breaks. I have a fully fenced backyard, and live in a bright, open house with plenty of space for play and rest. Note that I live on the second level of a house with stairs only access - dogs must be able to do the stairs to come in and out!
About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I know that no two pups are alike! Some love a slow, sniff-filled adventure where they can explore every interesting smell, while others are happiest keeping up a brisk pace or heading out for a jog. I tailor each walk to your dog's personality, energy level, age, and comfort. Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every tree or burn off some energy, I'm happy to follow their lead! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands. I focus on safe, attentive, one-on-one care, plenty of patience, and making sure your dog comes home happy. I offer flexible weekday availability, especially for midday walks and potty breaks while you're at work or busy with your day. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making dog walks part of my daily routine! Whether your pup needs a quick visit, a leisurely stroll, or some extra exercise, I'm happy to work with you to find a routine that suits their needs. As a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else's care! I provide private, one-on-one walks and treat every dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention I'd want for my own. I follow your dog's routines, respect their boundaries, and prioritize safe, comfortable outings. No dog parks or group walks—just personalized attention, plenty of encouragement, and a happy pup!

“Been having Bradley help walk our girl for over a month now and there isn’t anything bad I could say - he’s available, reliable, and makes time to give her some belly rubs at the end. Very glad to have met a responsible kind friend for her.”
“Nick is a natural and my pups picked up on his good energy the minute that they met as they nuzzled their way in for some pets! Looking forward to many more walks seeing as how exhausted they are from their initial outing. All in all, great job!!”
“Kellin has been great. Always communicates if there's any issue and replies promptly. She always refills the water bowl and makes sure the dogs haven't made a mess anywhere.”
About: Let me start off by saying I am so excited to meet your four (or three!) legged best friend. Animals make my heart happy and I will provide all the love and care you would if you weren't away. I have a Bachelors of Science in Large Animal Science. I have volunteered at animal shelters to walk all the rescues. I worked at a 24 hour emergency Vet hospital renowned on the East Coast , I owned two rescues well into their late teens. I love all shapes and sizes and personalities. If you dog wants to run, we will be morning joggers. If your dog wants to play, I'm a tug of war champion. I do work full time so if your dog needs a lot of attention throughout the day I would not be a good fit M-Th. I believe in transparency and will always let you know prior to any booking should I foresee it not being the best match for your pets needs. I’m currently a full time Rover sitter- so your pet is my number 1 priority. We follow their schedule - whether it’s set feeding and walking times - or free time play and nap as you please. I aim to make this temporary change in caretaker as seamless as possible. Just a slight change in scenery and a lot more 1:1 time. I treat your pet like my own (unless you don’t allow them on the furniture, because I need to snuggle those babies!) I prefer to be with your pet as much as possible, and if I need to leave the house I prefer to bring them with me.
“Sandy is the best walker we’ve ever had!! She’s so good with our high energy, crazy golden boy and I know he loves her too. Sandy has been easy to trust since the start and has always been super responsive. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Morgan is a wonderful woman and Viv absolutely adores her. She is professional and very thorough in her care for her clients, and its so obvious how much she cares for our girl even after just a few days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you Morgan.”
About: What sets me apart is my focus on reliability, attention to detail, and genuinely caring for each pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their habits, energy levels, and comfort needs to make sure they feel safe and stress-free. I’m patient and attentive with both energetic puppies and older pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic routines like house training, consistency, and positive behavior. With senior pets, I’m gentle, observant, and mindful of their pace, comfort, and any special care they may need. I also communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Thanks for taking your time to read my profile - hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time for each pet. I am available on weekends and select weekdays, which allows me to be flexible and consistent with visits, walks, or check-ins. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive proper attention, care, and companionship without feeling rushed. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure each visit is attentive and tailored to their needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service requested. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also monitor their behavior closely to make sure they are comfortable and stress-free. In my clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter cleaning, and any special care needs. I spend quality time with the pet so they feel secure and not alone, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos. My approach is always attentive, reliable, and focused on making pets feel safe and well cared for in any environment.
“Can’t thank enough to Arjun for taking our fur babies for morning walks. He is a true animal lover, and our pups fell in love with him and looked forward to going on walks with him. Thank you Arjun, you have been one of the best dog walker experience we have had till date.”
About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.
“Cat came highly recommended by a friend and was able to walk Hubert last minute which was amazing! Huey came back home happy, exhausted, and ready for a nap! Cat was super patient with him as he can be quite stubborn about when he does and doesn’t want to walk and she kept me updated throughout. I won’t hesitate to have Cat walk Huey again! Thank you!”
“We had to rebook with Olivia again as our previous booking was a great experience both for us and our dog. Loved seeing the pictures of our dog having an amazing time with Olivia on their walks. Definitely would recommend her services”

About: I had a German Shepherd for 12 years and now walk a Labadoodle everyday. I'm looking to walk and care for more dogs to fill my time. I'm retired and love to walk and hike. Bringing a dog along would make the walk even better. Available at all times of the day. My home is fenced and safe. I walk or care for one dog at a time. I have experience with larger dogs and will exercise caution when needed.
“My dog walked with Cameron only for 1 time and we discussed about care instructions. He is very responsive and listens carefully to the details I provided. I'm considering booking more with him in the future.”
About: I grew up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I currently have my own 8-month-old pup, which means I’m actively navigating puppy energy, training, and socialization firsthand. I understand how much attention and patience young pets need, and I bring that same care to every animal I look after. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my schedule. I keep a consistent daily routine, so your pet would fit right in. I’m flexible and available for check-ins, walks, or boarding, since I’m rarely away from home for long stretches. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space, and I pay close attention to introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have.

“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“Luna came home absolutely pooped from her weekend with Deborah and Eric - They showed her so much love and attention and play I think she will sleep for days!! They were attentive to her needs; made sure she got her meds and worked so well with her potential for reactivity on walks. They were so easy to communicate with and sent us so many updates to help us feel at ease while we were away. 10/10 stay, we will for sure be booking with them again.”
“Cynthia and David were amazing. They took wonderful care of my senior dog, Maya. Regular updates and pictures along the way allowed us to relax on our holiday knowing Maya was in safe hands. We’ll definitely book again with them next time we’re away.”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
“Emmie was amazing and Morley was in love the second she saw her! Emmie did a meet and greet with Morley which was awesome. She was really flexible and sent updates throughout Morley's stay. I felt really comfortable know Morley was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Henry was great! Our dog, Vivian stayed the weekend and had lots of walks. She seemed very comfortable when we went to pick her up. Would definitely book with Henry again.”

“Wendy was phenomenal. I needed a sitter for Jonas for a night since my usual contact was not available. We did a meet and greet and she showed me her house and introduced me to family including her dog Holly. During Jonas' stay Wendy kept me updated with lots of photos. I would definitely suggest her to anyone!”
“Mark took great care of my Yellow Lab, Sunnny. She celebrated Christmas with Mark and the gang. Mark’s daily updates put my mind at ease. She came home tired and happy. I will absolutely use Mark again in the future.”
“Susan has been exceptional is making my fur babies feel so at home and as if they were here own, during my transition. I couldn’t be more grateful for her love and compassion!! She is so lovely.. I would HIGHLY recommend her to care for your loved ones 😊”

“Linda took wonderful care of our dog and we felt so safe leaving our girl in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, and our dog looked quite comfortable during her stay! We would, without a doubt, use Linda’s services anytime!”
“Chelsea and Jason were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Daisy. I was away for a week and needed someone I could trust, and they far exceeded my expectations. Daisy was spoiled with endless love, attention and treats, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and photos they sent to keep me updated about her stay. They treated Daisy like she was their own and she had an amazing time! Thank you both so much!”
“Rosie was very well cared for and Aishwarya sent regular pictures and videos. A great fenced yard for the dogs to run around. Aishwarya clearly loves animals and we will definitely use her again should we have the need”
About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.
“Denver had such an AMAZING time staying with your family over my birthday weekend! Thank you SO MUCH for all the love and attention you gave to our very anxious boy. We could tell that Denver was having a wonderful time with all the photos you sent!! We guys are THE BEST!!!”
“Aditya and his wife took excellent care of our mini Goldendoodle, Toby! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident Toby was in good hands. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Toby came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We could tell he received a lot of attention, playtime, and love. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
