“Claudia took great care of our labrador Merle for a few days. He came home happy and tired. She kept us updated with pics and video clips while we were gone. I would not hesitate to use Claudia's services again.”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Argento had a great time! It was so nice that you sent photos to show us how he was doing. He looked like he was smiling!! He got lots of walks and games of fetch - two of his favourite things. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“Faye was incredibly friendly with our puppy! Her own big dog Leo is very well trained. We think our puppy came home better than before we left. We would definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Jennifer made our good boy feel so comfortable! Dutch was well fed, went on multiple walkies and really enjoyed his time at Jennifer’s home! She goes the extra step every time! We cannot wait to be back!!”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Rogue just spent 4 nights with Fiona and Dale and came home one tired boy. He loves to run and chase and their backyard is the perfect space for that. Thank you for the updates and for taking such good care of our boy. See you soon.”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Once again Ruby had a wonderful stay with Glen. We love seeing all the photos and messages that Glen sends to us while he is looking after her. She always comes home very happy and tired from the nice long walks he takes her on. When we dropped Ruby off at Glens she ran right up to him so excited to see him again which puts us at ease when we leave. Thanks again Glen for taking such good care of our baby girl for us 🙂”
“Carol and her husband were so kind, patient, and wonderful! They were so understanding of my dog and his unique needs. I felt very at ease leaving him with them for the night. Thank you Carol!”
“Wolfgang had a lovely time with William, he made lots of new doggie friends and we got regular updates. The yard was nice and big, and William accomodated us for a last minute booking!”
“Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.”
“Ron was great and patient with Roxie She is a dog who needs to build trust and he gave her space.We had great communication back and forth throughout her stay.I will definitely be using Ron again.”
“Great experience! My dog had an amazing time with lots of adventures and attention. I loved getting updates and photos throughout — it gave me so much peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Angela and Luis looked after my puppy Lennon for the first time last night. They did an amazing job and by the looks of the videos and photos he had an amazing time. I’m looking forward to using Angela and Luis again very soon!!!”
“Catherine and Natz are wonderful dogsitters! Our wheaten terrier had such a great holiday with them. I knew when we first met at the Meet-and-Greet that they truly loved animals. Our dog, Bailey, went right up to them and made herself right at home. We left Bailey for 8 days and what a true gift they gave us by putting our minds at ease so that we could enjoy our time away worry-free. We received lots of fun updates and photos to show us how Bailey was doing. And, Bailey really made herself at home -- a true sign that she was comfortable and trusted her petsitters. We highly recommend Catherine and her husband. They have true hearts of gold and lots of knowledge about dogs and animals. Your dog will thank you. Jennifer”

“Faye was a wonderful caregiver for our two cats. Our " meet and greet" was warm and friendly, and it was evident from the get go that she would look after our cats well....so accommodating and thorough. Our time away was worry free and it would appear that the cats did not miss us at all I would highly recommend Faye for your pet needs!”

About: I’ve lived with cats for 31 years and cared for them my entire life. I have a deep connection with them and a strong understanding of what makes them tick. My cats are my kids and I’ll treat yours the same! Snuggles and purring, hissing and biting. I’ve seen it all and there’s nothing I’m not prepared to handle. Your cats will be met with compassion, patience and love. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Good communication. Tried to interact with my cats as much as they’d let him. Came back when I forgot to give my key in the meet and greet. Cats were well cared for while we were away and that matters so much to us.”
“It was a pleasure having Hannah as my cat-sitter while I was away. She gained my cat's trust quickly and Daphne is generally quite timid and aloof. I would highly recommend Hannah and am glad to have found her for future trips.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was old enough to stay at home alone, I’ve also had cats of mine own since I was about 6. I’ve housesat for family and family friends. I can sit for hours playing with that new kitten or get that older guy active again or just happy to snuggle up with that elderly cat just to keep them company
About: I've had cats since I was a little girl, and remember them all very well. I have a male cat named Kenai under a year old, and I walk him daily on a leash! He does amazing and loves to play in the snow. He's potty trained and knows his routine of where he can and can't go in the house. (such as the kitchen table or counters)
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets my whole life as well as taking care of others. I have owned two dogs, 2 hamsters, a rabbit and many fish. I am very personable with each pet and make sure they are fully taken care of. In my experience I have walked, house sat and fed dogs based on their own needs and administer medicine . I am currently only working part time and am seeking a second job to create more income. I am very flexible and would love to help! I can easily take care of any animal depending on their needs. I am very comfortable with any behaviour, or anything they may need! :)
“This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of.

“She is wonderful! Liam loved her right away during the meet and greet. From the very first sitting, she went above and beyond. She was supposed to walk Liam and leave him at our house while we were away, but after receiving the hurricane amber alert, she immediately went to check on him and offered to take him to her home. We’re very happy to have found someone we can truly count on in town.”
“It is always difficult to find someone to trust with the care of your precious cargo but as soon as we met Claudia on our meet and greet, I knew she would take wonderful care of my Stella. Our first day at doggy daycare was a success from the welcoming drop off, to the texts and photos throughout the day, to the happy pick up time, I was thrilled that Stella had a good day and that I had found a reliable pet sitter in the area. I highly recommend Claudia and her services to care for your fur babies.”
“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”

“Since starting to send our puppy for daycare with Ellie, he has become more socialized - with dogs and with people! Ellie provides incredible expertise, care, and fulfilment for our 4 month old border collie, Archie. Thank you, Ellie, for all you do!!”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”
About: I have over 12+ years of dog ownership experience as well as 3+ years experience in dog adoption/fostering. Taking care of other people's pets is second nature to me. As a dog owner myself, I understand that it is stressful to relinquish control of your pets care to someone else. I was caught up in the business of the 9-5 workday and stressed to find care for my dogs that was personable and affordable. I have recently lost my job and in the midst of looking for work, I decided to open up my home to some furry friends! **I am only able to provide care from 8am-6pm daily for doggy daycare** I am currently searching for my next job opportunity since being laid off. I have daily available during the work day with overnight care offered if needed. I have a fully fenced, large yard as well as two dogs of my own. The care for your dog would be directly in my home, they wouldn't be outside all day/ignored. If the weather is bad, we may just sit back and watch TV after playtime! My dogs are very friendly and playful but I do have a dachshund who is very small, therefore I can only accept dogs that are 40lbs and under.

About: I have lived with and cared for pets my entire life. I genuinely love getting to know animals on an individual basis, learning their quirks, personalities and unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and provide them with a safe, compassionate and fun experience! 🥰 I’m currently working part-time (mostly nights) with a varying schedule. I’m eager to spend as much time with your pets as possible, getting to know their individual needs and personalities. While I don’t provide pet care at my own home, I am more than happy to make visits to your house to ensure your furry friends are well-cared for and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s care is of the utmost importance to me. I ensure safe, compassionate and patient handling. I can’t wait to get to know your pets and work with them one-on-one to provide a comfortable experience for both your PETS and YOU!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets of all ages and temperaments. Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I offer flexible morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and weekend availability. I also provide boarding for both dogs and cats. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure each pet receives my full attention, and I only accept bookings I can confidently commit to. Clear communication and reliability are very important to me. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced backyard and a calm, structured environment. I have one very friendly, well-socialized dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats. If needed, I can easily separate pets, as my home has multiple areas to ensure comfort and safety for everyone. I provide clean spaces and multiple cozy pet beds.
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and have had my own cats and dogs as an adult on my own as well. I am certified in the Canadian Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR. I am very familiar with dog and cat communication and behaviours and how to work with both animals to ensure they are cared for properly. I currently have a cat named Rosie and a dog named Annie. Annie is 2 and loves playing with other dogs. She is fully vaccinated and very friendly. She’ll help burn out the energy of other dogs at the dog park no problem! I have also had experience owning other small household pets as well. Since I have the time and experience, I am looking to assist in helping people find care for their pets while they are at work or away from home. I have full availability at the moment. I am able to discuss discounts for multiple days/nights of care if needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and a large doggy door so that your fur baby will be able to use the door if needed and go outside as they wish to play/ use the bathroom. However, I will also monitor them in case they do not use this doggy door (Annie will show them how to use it!). I am certified by the Canadian Red Cross in Pet First Aid and CPR. I will also send hourly updates from 8 am to 8 pm to send a photo or advise on how your dog is doing and what they are up to. when taking dogs out for walks, I will ensure they are kept off of busy streets and only walk them when the pavement is not too hot for their paws/ grass or trail walks only. If taking dogs to the dog park, I will ensure they are monitored closely to ensure they are in a safe and happy environment without aggressive dogs. I will monitor pets eating and pooping and advise if there are any issues. I will ensure they have enough clean drinking water (we used Brita Filtered water). In the event the dog gets muddy or dirty I can bathe them as well.
About: 20+ years experience caring for personal, family, colony, shelter, and client animals of all kinds. I am passionate about animals and pets. I have worked around animals for most of my adult life in a variety of fields. From owning and operating my own kennel, breeding and showing dogs at CKC sanctioned events, assisting with and running my own dog classes, completing animal care training and working at University of Guelph (Ridgetown Campus) in their Veterinary Technician Program. I love all dogs and want to work with them to make them as happy as possible. I have a large fenced yard and access to many trails for your dog’s enjoyment. I have significant experience working with all types and breeds of dogs. I am comfortable reading dog body language and can adapt my interactions to suit a wide variety of dog needs. I strive to make sure every dog goes home tired and happy after their stay. I currently work at a kennel, part time as well as caring for the colony animals at University of Guelph - Ridgetown Campus. My schedules are flexible. I care for pets in my own home. I have a large fenced in yard with few neighbours. Access to many walking trails, directly from my backyard. Safe area for play inside my home. Can offer one on one play, or group play with my dogs or other guests. I can offer a variety of walking possibilities, such solo walks or group walks. Dogs can have their own crates or if they are not used to being crated we do offer bedroom stays. I encourage meeting you and your pet before hand (not required)!

“When I arrived home from work my baby puppies were happy.... So pleased that they picked up and gave me their toy. Ellie, that meant in my perspective... mommy made a great decision in choosing you!”
About: A little bit about me... I joined Rover to get out and about during this difficult time with man's best friend. Not being able to have a dog of my own is sad. I would love to share my love of dogs and animals with you and your pet(s). - I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. - I’ve been interested in fitness, wellness and nutrition since I was about 13 years old, researching everything I could know about it, in my spare time. - I graduated college with a Social Service Worker diploma, after that, I went to school to become a paramedic but halfway through realized it wasn’t for me. I am now in college to become a medical office administrator. Truly, it takes time to find out what you are meant to do. - I’m a perfectionist about EVERYTHING. - I’m a night person but also prefer not to spend my day sleeping Random points but they let you know-how genuine, compassionate and reliable I am! I work full time but work remote 2 days a week with flexible hours. I also have a 9-5 jobs so I can support your pets if you work different hours. I am almost always free on weekends and holidays to meet your pets needs and give you time to relax I have a calming, relaxing and loving energy that pets typically love. I want a pet of my own but with what still seems like a recent loss, I would love to give the time, energy and love I have to your pet.
About: I have been a huge dog lover since I was young! I have a passion for working with animals and have experience with handling and training leash aggressive, reactive dogs! I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with all! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Although my partner and I live in Thamesford, Ontario, I frequently travel to Toronto to babysit our family dog. This often involves planning my week around these visits to ensure I can spend quality time with our family pet. In Thamesford, I also enjoy babysitting and walking other local dogs in my free time. This helps me stay active and engaged with the community. My days often consist of working from home and being able to walk and check in on dogs throughout the day to make sure they are comfortable and happy! Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities and remote work requires good time management, but it's a rewarding part of my life that I truly cherish. If I was going to a clients home I would treat it as I treat my own home, with respect and cleanliness. In my own home my dog was the king of the house lol and I treat him as such. Any pets I encounter and look after will be treated with the utmost respect and care because I love animals and love being around them! I would definitely consider myself an animal whisperer. :)
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up ! I am excited to use my spare time to help your dogs:)! Love walking and spending time with all animals! I can do anytime! Depends on the week! I’m a shift worker so typically work 4 days on- 4 days off! Will change every week! I love walking with any type of dog! Big or small/ good walkers or tougher walkers! In a house I will shower them with attention and cuddles!
About: Hey!! My name is Chelsea, and I own a 1-year-old Labradoodle named Kali, who I absolutely adore. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her I love her to pieces. To be honest, I don’t think you’ll ever see Kali and me apart other than when I’m at work. I can’t wait to hear from you! I work shift work that is quite flexible this is why I need at least a day notice so that I can ensure it works with my schedule. The best possible would be contacting me so I can ensure I can be there for your pup! Pets are family to me, and my Labradoodle Kali is honestly my world. The biggest thing I focus on is understanding each dog’s personality, comfort level, and needs. Every pet is different, and I think making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved is the most important part of caring for them. Kali is very strong willed and loves new adventures, so I make sure she gets lots of walks, playtime, and trips to the dog park because she loves being off leash and meeting other dogs. I also pay close attention to safety and creating an environment that works best for her personality and energy level. That’s the same care I would give your pet taking the time to understand who they are, what they enjoy, and what helps them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet. I cared for my rescue dog through her senior years and was with her right until her last day, which taught me how important compassion, consistency, and gentle care are — especially for older pets or animals with unique needs. I also have experience fostering a large, energetic dog, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy pets that need lots of activity, structure, and engagement. I’ve always lived with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I’m a very active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, playtime, and spending time outdoors, and I have flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently pursuing my PhD which leaves my schedule very flexible and open throughout the week. I'm not constrained by regular working hours (i.e. 9-5) and often make my own schedule so my availability is very open! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any specific care instructions their owner provides. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and comfort levels, and I always try to make them feel secure while their owner is away. Because I’ve cared for both energetic dogs and senior pets, I understand that every animal has different needs. I can provide active walks and play for high-energy dogs, while also being patient and gentle with older pets who may need slower pacing, medication support, or extra comfort and supervision. I also make sure owners feel at ease by being reliable, respectful of their space, and communicative with updates and photos. My goal is always to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own animals — with kindness, consistency, and genuine attention.
About: I watch Ceaser Millan videos daily, as I have 3 huskies that benefit from his skill set! They are doing amazing, where I can walk all three of them and they follow the dog sledding commands such as Ha - Left, Ge - Right, Straight Ahead, Wo - Slow down, Stop, and Wait. I'll attach my son's ShiPoo to the pack also, and she walks with them, people stop and wave loving it! Now I'm getting them to walk beside me instead of in front, so I can rollerblade with them in the spring. I have a shoulder pack to put the ShiPoo in if she gets tired, and one for the cat also! I am training the huskies now to include the cat in the pack, removing their prey drive so that the cat can walk with all of us. I'm currently working part-time, and have availability between 12-3 pm preferably. I can offer some flexibility in scheduling as I work for myself along with another part-time job driving the school bus. I probably won't offer care in my home at this time, unless the client is comfortable having their pet play with my 3 huskies. It depends on how social your pet is and/or if it needs social training.
About: I have 4 years of experience working in a vet hospital, giving me the confidence to handle pets safely and recognize signs of illness. I’ve trained my own puppy using positive reinforcement and have experience with both high-energy dogs and senior pets. I grew up with animals and currently have a German Shepherd and a cat, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I currently work part-time and volunteer occasionally, so pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m a student taking mostly online courses, which gives me a more flexible schedule and allows me to be home often for walks, check-in’s, and supervision. I’d love and appreciate being given the opportunity to care for your pet! Safety and comfort of your pet are my top priority! In your home, I follow your pets routine closely - feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets are never in any unsafe situations, and can provide regular updates so you feel at ease!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young! I am good with all sizes of dogs, having grown up with medium to xl sizes. I have fostered dogs for about 2 years, dealing with many kinds of mixes ranging from husky/shepherd mixes to malinois crosses and bully breeds! I have been in the pet care industry for about 3 years now, working as a dog groomer. As a groomer, my job is to take care of the dogs I groom while providing them with a beautiful groom. Depending on my schedule, walks are given to my dogs either before or after work! I currently have a female Great Dane and a amstaff at home. They get daily walks (depending on the weather) and are treated like the family they are!

Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley!

“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Rogue just spent 4 nights with Fiona and Dale and came home one tired boy. He loves to run and chase and their backyard is the perfect space for that. Thank you for the updates and for taking such good care of our boy. See you soon.”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Once again Ruby had a wonderful stay with Glen. We love seeing all the photos and messages that Glen sends to us while he is looking after her. She always comes home very happy and tired from the nice long walks he takes her on. When we dropped Ruby off at Glens she ran right up to him so excited to see him again which puts us at ease when we leave. Thanks again Glen for taking such good care of our baby girl for us 🙂”
“Wolfgang had a lovely time with William, he made lots of new doggie friends and we got regular updates. The yard was nice and big, and William accomodated us for a last minute booking!”
“Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.”
“Great experience! My dog had an amazing time with lots of adventures and attention. I loved getting updates and photos throughout — it gave me so much peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Angela and Luis looked after my puppy Lennon for the first time last night. They did an amazing job and by the looks of the videos and photos he had an amazing time. I’m looking forward to using Angela and Luis again very soon!!!”
“Huxley had a wonderful time at Jessica’s. It was his first overnight visit and he was able to settle right in. Jessica was very quick to respond to all of my messages and kept us updated with pics of our lil guy. We will be booking again soon”
“Our energetic pup, Louie, was well taken care of and well loved during his stay with Charlanne. Charlanne is an excellent communicator and kept us up to date during Louie’s stay and provided lots of pictures and videos. Charlanne went above and beyond and had paths in the deep snow in her yard so Louie could have a safe place to run and play. Highly recommend and have booked Louie’s second stay!”
