“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Betty is usually pretty nervous, however taking her to Bryan and Raisa were so welcoming, they sent daily updates to ease my worries! 100% use them again!”
“Natasha & the level of care our Westie’s received was amazing. They came back looking great, happy & healthy. The communication, pictures & daily updates Natasha would send kept us feeling secure knowing our dogs were being well taken care of. The attention they received was unlike any experience we’ve ever had before and will only be sending them to Natasha in the future.”
“Janine is the sweetest our Atlanta had a blast at her house with the other poochies! Janine definitely knows what she is doing and we knew instantly our dog would be in great care. She txted us daily with updates on our dog. We have booked with Janine again for another week. Thanks so much Janine for giving us peace of mind for our girl Atlanta !”
“LOOK NO FURTHER! What a relief to have found Graham and Freddie! From initial contact, Graham was professional, prompt, flexible, and caring. He simply thought of everything, and was so patient and reassuring when I had a load of questions and concerns. Freddie is a cool companion! We left Bruno for the whole weekend, and I was astounded at how confided felt that he was just fine. Graham sent periodic photos, and I could tell on Bruno’s face that he was comfortable. (You know how you can see the stress in their eyebrows - he was simply smiling the whole time!) Upon pick up, Bruno was relaxed and balanced. He even swung back around to seemingly say thanks and goodbye to Graham before hopping into the car! We’re very grateful to Graham’s above and beyond care, and wish he were closer. We’ll definitely be seeking his service when we visit the Lindsay area next!”
“I was so happy to find Loghan - he was amazing with Lizzy. She had loads of dogs to play with and was well looked after. Loghan was really communicative and responsive. He was also a lifesaver when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get home. Knowing that Liz was happy and safe made a stressful situation much easier. We’d have no problem recommending Loghan to anyone.”
“Kaitlin was fantastic for our Bulldofretriever cross, Titan was comfortable and happy and very well taken care of, we were provided with tons of pictures and will definitely be asking for help again when it's time❤️”
“We are so happy to have met Mahan, she took amazing care of our 1.5 year old Cavapoo for 10 days!! It was our first time being away from him for that long and she provided regular updates and pictures that made me feel so good to know he was doing well. We first met with a meet and greet and her dog and my dog got along really nicely. She also has a lovely clean and calm home! I highly recommend Mahan for any dog care and will be booking again!”
“Huck had a great time with Dana and Robert! We were able to book last minute and they were flexible with pick up time. I got multiple updates a day and lots of pictures. Huck went for many walks and a swim. He had other dog friends to play with as well. He came home very tired! I would 100% recommend them.”
“Hillary took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Hillary is kind, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Hillary!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“Anchana tool great care of Husky and shared photos and videos to make us feel relaxed. Her pet is also friendly and Husky enjoyed the stay. Would definitely booking with her in future.”
“Thank you to Tia and her family for taking such great care of our boy while we were away! We received updates and photos to let us know how it was going. He came back home very happy, tired and clean!”
“Kripa has been very kind. She took care of our pet like her own. She was always prompt in responding to messages. She sent updates of our pet from time to time. I was very happy and content with her service and I would definitely choose her even the next time I have this necessity”
“Ginny was absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Everything from her genuine love for dogs, communication, and even the location. She was so responsive, kept us updated with photos often. Our girl Daisy loved her so much and we felt so reassured the whole time we were away. It was a vacation for our dog and we plan to send her back to Ginny often. I cannot say enough positive things, she is PHENOMENAL!”
“Andrea is an amazing sitter. She takes her time to ask questions, ensure that our boy was looked after well. She also is great a communicating and sending pictures and updates.”
“Absolutely 5 STARS! Our beloved dog Harper is our love and priority now that we are empty nesters. We were so extremely fortunate to find Martha and her family ❤️. We didn’t need to worry about anything! While we were away Martha sent us updates and videos and we were so appreciative! Harper was quiet during her first day home and I think it was because she missed Martha and her family! We are going away in the fall and will certainly be using Martha! I highly recommend her!!”
“Home away from home for our dog !!!! Surbhi & Tushar are wonderful people. They take care of your pet (big or small) like their own. They make sure your pet eats on time, has good playtime and rest time. Regular updates were so helpful in knowing our dog was happy and enjoying his time with them. If you want to be stress-free and not worry about your pet even for a second, board them with these 2 amazing humans and their little cute dog, Taco.”
“Danielle was the PERFECT choice to watch our boy Taco while we had to attend an out of town wedding. She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”

“So pleased we found Victoria! We made last minute plans to go in a 10 day vacation. I looked through the reviews and contacted Victoria. She immediately got back to us, even though she was on vacation at the time, and arranged to come out to meet, greet and look around our place to be sure she knew where everything was that our cats would need. We have 2 Maine Coons they are social butterflies, but I was worried our one blonde boy, who’s very shy, would be quite upset by our absence and would hide from her. He did not. In fact I received multiple pics of him followed Victoria around, talking away to her like the crooner he is. So impressed with Victoria and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”
“I was so happy to have Andrea stay with our two cats. What a lovely person! We were away for nearly four weeks, but I never worried about any of them. Andrea sent messages and photos during that time, and I could see that they were all getting along well. We came home to a tidy home and two happy cats! I hope Andrea will come and stay the next time we need a cat sitter. 🐈🐈⬛”
About: I unfortunately have no experience other than I’ve had my cat for over a year now and my puppy for 7 months. I love them with all my heart. I have also been around dogs since the day I was born (all different breeds and ages). I work from home for my step dads business (Kodiak Metal Buildings) so this works perfectly as I need a little more money and have so much love for animals. I have a fenced in lawn and a 11 month golden retriever pup that loves every other animal! He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
“Vanessa took excellent care of our cat Meeko while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that Meeko had everything she needed, and was very gentle and patient with her; our cat is quite shy, but Vanessa managed to bring her out of her shell quickly, which is an impressive feat! Vanessa was friendly, polite, and communicative all the way through, and we came home to a very healthy and happy kitty! We will definitely be inviting her back next time we go away - highly recommend.”
“We just got our sweet Regina a little over a week ago, and my husband and I had plans to go camping this past weekend. I went on Rover to see if anyone came up, and I found Sydney. I messaged her, asking if she would be interested in setting up a time to meet her, and we did. She came over, Regina seemed to like her, and we decided to give it a go. For the first time of leaving our cat behind, I was very happy with how Sydney handled everything. Checked in each time she came over to check on her, sent pictures, made sure she ate, cleaned the litter box, followed all the instructions I had left, everything went perfect. Sydney is really sweet, nice, and her love of animals is apparent. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter and will rebook her myself in the future :)”
About: I got my first cat when I was 5, I also currently have my kitty living with me at school. I am experienced with feedings, cleaning litter boxes, grooming, administering medication, etc. I also have an insane love for all cats and kitties!
“Having Jessica look after Hallie while my husband and I were away gave us some much-needed peace of mind. Jessica sent pictures every day and she was very understanding when we had to suddenly cut our trip short. I will definitely book with Jessica again in the future!”
About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.
“Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!”
About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to look after your house plants and provide light house cleaning, gardening, grass and snow removal.
About: I have taken care of cats from a young age. Through the years I have also helped with dogs and cats within the same house. And I always love getting to know the unique personality that every cat or any pet has.

“Another great day for Benji. He got to spend a whole day and evening with Andrea. He came home tired, calm and happy. Was a relaxing time for me, I enjoyed my day without any worry. Thank you again Andrea”
“Loghan is awesome, great communication and easy to reach. He sends pictures during Leo's stay which I really appreciate. Leo loves going over to Loghans for a stay! Thank you so much.”
“Whiskey had a great time! He loved playing with Milo. Bryan and Raisa were available short notice which was super convenient. Great space and an obvious dog loving couple. We won’t hesitate to book again if we are in the area!”
“Marta was amazing with both dog and cat. I have a senior dog and Marta was able to handle him perfectly. We couldn’t find a sitter for our cat and because my cat has not had a good time with a sitter before, he is very skittish and has some separation anxiety. We asked Marta if she would be able to accommodate the cat too and she was very understanding. Amazing part is when we took my cat to meet them, the cat just loved her daughter, I have never seen that cat like someone so fast (not even my husband). I was very comfortable leaving both my babies with Marta, I got pictures all day. We would definitely be looking to book again with Marta. ❤️”

About: For my whole life, I have always had family dogs. As an adult, I got my own family dog and he’s so loved! Dogs always made me feel save, loved and at peace. They are so loyal, loveable, and perfect to talk to. I am the first person my friends and family ask to watch their precious fur babies while they go on vacation, short or long stays, or even to let them out to the bathroom or feed them if they are running late. I have an open house for dogs to roam. They are welcome to wander around and make use of my backyard. I have a doggy pool for dogs to cool off in the warm and hot days, I have dog beds to supply if needed. I have experience in raw diets along with kibble. I love getting out and taking dogs for walks, and hikes. I have great trails near my house. I don’t mind giving your dogs a baths along with brushing them.

We have a little 1 year old daughter who’s bright and cheerful. If you don’t mind your dogs around a little one, and they are child friendly, we’d love to accommodate your furry friend. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to play with your puppy and give them as much attention as they need! I have a fully fenced in yard on an acre, lots of room to run and explore. I also have cameras all around our property.
“I am grateful for Kaitlin. She treats my Stevie like her own. I am totally comfortable leaving my 13 year old recent rescue with her. There is good play time and attention is paid to ensuring enough water intake. I love the pictures she sends. So reassuring.”

About: I’m an active, loving, and organized dog caregiver with experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies to wise seniors. I have two friendly Australian Cattle Dogs of my own, and I treat every dog who stays with me like part of the family. I’m experienced in administering medication and caring for deaf dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines. Whether your dog loves hiking, playing fetch, or just lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dog mom so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available any day, any time! I live on 42 beautiful acres with trails, a pond, and a creek — the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy nature safely. My home is located at the end of a quiet dead-end road, far from any traffic, so you can rest easy knowing your pup will have space and security.
“My dog was very comfortable and happy right away on meeting Lisa at her house. Great backyard and lots of space to explore and play inside as well. Friendly and asked all the right questions, would recommend.”
“Natasha did a fantastic job watching our puppy Nash. She sent me lots of photos and kept me updated on how he was doing and what they were doing at the time. It was my first time leaving him with a dog sitter so I was quite nervous, but I clearly had no reason to worry. She did a great job, our puppy had fun spending the day with her, and he will be back soon. Highly recommend Natasha for your dog sitting needs!”
About: I've had dogs in my life for 40 years and truly love having them around. In recent years I've owned senior rescue dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine and gentle attention can be. Whether a dog is playful or just needs a place to happily chill, I make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I take dogs in when you're travelling or need occasional dog sitting, rather than permanent dog care. Because I work from home, dogs fit very naturally into my daily routine. They get plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks in my fenced yard and relaxed time inside the house with me throughout the day. I enjoy walking with them, playtime and quiet companionship. Your dog will stay in a calm, safe and loving home where they can relax and feel comfortable. They will have plenty of outdoor breaks in my fenced yard as well as regular walks. I pay close attention to their personality and routine so they feel safe, cared for and right at home while you're away. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your dog will have my full attention.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and I truly can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood—including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherd mixes—and loved them through every stage of life until their senior years. I’ve also cared for cats for more than 25 years, including fostering pregnant mothers and nursing newborn kittens. What really sets me apart is my experience with pets that need extra care: elderly, injured, or special-needs animals who require patience, strength, and compassion. Through volunteering with LAWS and the Humane Society, I’ve had the privilege of supporting animals in all kinds of situations. I’m active, reliable, and strong—I go to the gym regularly—and I’ll bring that same energy, love, and dedication to caring for your pets as if they were my own. Now that I’m semi retired, I have all the time in the world to dedicate to something I truly love—caring for animals. My days are wide open, which means I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favourite pastimes, and it brings me joy to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed cuddle session with a senior cat, an energetic walk with a playful dog, or checking in throughout the day, I have the flexibility and the heart to give your pets the attention they deserve. When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I keep a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, attention, and plenty of time for play or rest depending on their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, administering medications, or keeping up with favourite activities. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to keep their day-to-day life as familiar and stress-free as possible. No matter the setting, I give each pet the patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own.
About: I’m someone who loves kids, and pets! I have a big property in the country, and enjoy walking with my dog every day I can! I have had dogs for 30 years, and have had experience with many breeds, small and large. We are animal lovers, and your pet will always be in the best hands! I work daytime hours, so I walk my dog in the morning, lunch, and evenings. I am available on weekends and holidays ! If you’re comfortable with your dog being left for a few hours while I am at at work, then I can be flexible to most requests. We are very active, so pet care and walks are always apart of my family routine. I have a large country property where I have an invisible fenced yard my own dog wears. I have multiple leads that I can use, or a fenced pool area where dogs can also be completely fenced in. I have a mud room where I can also have dogs food/ water etc and lots of space in my home for dogs to play/ roam! I have a flexible home for lots of dogs!
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Andrea is fantastic! She is great with my two large dogs and always keeps me updated with pictures of their walks. Andrea has quickly become my go-to pet sitter/dog walker.”
About: I'll treat your dog like it's my own. I love being around dogs. I have 15+ years caring for animals of all ages. I'm farm raised with lots of animals, always had a dog or two growing up and still continue to have my own. I'm confident with any age dog from puppies to seniors. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer and volunteer with the humane society with their dogs. I enjoy working with dogs to get them to really enjoy the walk. I do work with pullers and jumpers and try to get your dog to a level where you'll also be able to enjoy your walks. I aim to put a dent in your dog's exercise needs to give you that calm, fulfilled pup when you return. Your dog will be welcomed as a pack member with me where we will work to have mutual respect between myself and your dog(s). I take a firm, but fair, no nonsense approach to working with dogs. I live on a farm near town and do have open fields that your dog may run and play (if you and I both feel comfortable with your dog being off leash). I do also have a large fenced in area I use as well and a shop area that I often use for my training space. My girlfriend and I are both on Rover and often work together with different dogs including our own. Meet and Greets are always welcome to ensure I am the best fit for your dog. Please reach out if you have any questions.
“I reached out to Victoria less than 48h before I needed a dog walker and she was absolutely fantastic! She was was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and the day of the walk she offered a detailed update on how it went. After a not great experience on Rover a few months ago with a different dog walker, I can say that Victoria has renewed my faith in walkers/sitters on this platform. When I need someone to walk my dog in the future, Victoria will be the person I turn to first.”

“Martha looked after my dog and sent me regular updates! I felt good on vacation knowing she was more than well taken care of. She got so many walks and treats! She was absolutely lovely and I trust her fully with my fur baby!”
About: I've lived with animals most of my life. From feeding, bathing, and walking to play time and adventure, I love it all! Most of my experience is with dogs and lizards, however I have experience with most animals. I have completed placements in an animal hospital and pet store giving me lots of knowledge and experience. I know how important routines are for animals and my goal is to ensure I keep things as normal as possible so they don't even know you're gone. I cant wait to spend time with your animals! I am currently not working so have open availability to care for your little ones all day. I will happily follow whatever routine you have in place for your pets! I will follow your routines and rules for your pets, after all you know them best. I will give them lots of love, attention, and care to meet all their needs.
About: I unfortunately have no experience other than I’ve had my cat for over a year now and my puppy for 7 months. I love them with all my heart. I have also been around dogs since the day I was born (all different breeds and ages). I work from home for my step dads business (Kodiak Metal Buildings) so this works perfectly as I need a little more money and have so much love for animals. I have a fenced in lawn and a 11 month golden retriever pup that loves every other animal! He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.
“We are so happy we found Amy! She is such a lovely person and my dogs absolutely loved her. I appreciated her communication and she was so accommodating. We will be very happy to call on her again. We would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.
About: Hello dog owners! Thank you for viewing my profile. A bit about me... For the last 4 years I've owned a dog care business in both Toronto and Orillia. Before that I was a driver for a dog daycare in Toronto. I currently live in my hometown of Orillia and have been building my client base here. I currently mainly offer house sitting, walks and drop in visits with limited availability for boarding. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I look forward to hearing from you! Notes: - The rates shown are for areas within 3km of where I'm located in Orillia. Additional kilometres will be subject to a mileage fee of $0.60 per kilometre for both there and back. My schedule varies each week but is flexible for daytime, evening and weekend requests. Let me know your requirements and we can figure out a plan that works! I am very attentive to your dogs needs and pride myself on quickly bonding with new dogs. I keep my living space clean and safe.

“Gretel was amazing to work with. Her response time was immediate. She was super accommodating and took care of our little guy. Sent us pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying his time with his new friends. Already rebooked her for Max's next stay and will continue to do so.”
“Betty is usually pretty nervous, however taking her to Bryan and Raisa were so welcoming, they sent daily updates to ease my worries! 100% use them again!”
“Natasha & the level of care our Westie’s received was amazing. They came back looking great, happy & healthy. The communication, pictures & daily updates Natasha would send kept us feeling secure knowing our dogs were being well taken care of. The attention they received was unlike any experience we’ve ever had before and will only be sending them to Natasha in the future.”
“Janine is the sweetest our Atlanta had a blast at her house with the other poochies! Janine definitely knows what she is doing and we knew instantly our dog would be in great care. She txted us daily with updates on our dog. We have booked with Janine again for another week. Thanks so much Janine for giving us peace of mind for our girl Atlanta !”
“LOOK NO FURTHER! What a relief to have found Graham and Freddie! From initial contact, Graham was professional, prompt, flexible, and caring. He simply thought of everything, and was so patient and reassuring when I had a load of questions and concerns. Freddie is a cool companion! We left Bruno for the whole weekend, and I was astounded at how confided felt that he was just fine. Graham sent periodic photos, and I could tell on Bruno’s face that he was comfortable. (You know how you can see the stress in their eyebrows - he was simply smiling the whole time!) Upon pick up, Bruno was relaxed and balanced. He even swung back around to seemingly say thanks and goodbye to Graham before hopping into the car! We’re very grateful to Graham’s above and beyond care, and wish he were closer. We’ll definitely be seeking his service when we visit the Lindsay area next!”
“Holly and Jerome were absolutely fantastic with our two German shepherds. Our female is quite finicky when it comes to feeding but they both handled her exceptionally to make sure she ate and was doing well. We have sent our dogs to other kennels while on vacation where they have almost always come back with minor issues. But with Holly and Jerome, they were safe and taken well care of and it is the first time we are coming back from vacation and not having to take either dog to the vet for something or another. Both our babies had fun and looked happy and healthy. We will most definitely be booking with Holly and Jerome again. Thanks so much! ??”
“I was so happy to find Loghan - he was amazing with Lizzy. She had loads of dogs to play with and was well looked after. Loghan was really communicative and responsive. He was also a lifesaver when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get home. Knowing that Liz was happy and safe made a stressful situation much easier. We’d have no problem recommending Loghan to anyone.”
“Kaitlin was fantastic for our Bulldofretriever cross, Titan was comfortable and happy and very well taken care of, we were provided with tons of pictures and will definitely be asking for help again when it's time❤️”
“Huck had a great time with Dana and Robert! We were able to book last minute and they were flexible with pick up time. I got multiple updates a day and lots of pictures. Huck went for many walks and a swim. He had other dog friends to play with as well. He came home very tired! I would 100% recommend them.”
“Hillary took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Hillary is kind, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Hillary!”
“Marta was our first sitter since moving to Peterborough and what a find! Great meet-and-greet, reliable communication and awesome updates throughout the day. My dog was in loving hands and I had peace of mind while she was in Marta’s care.”
“Anchana tool great care of Husky and shared photos and videos to make us feel relaxed. Her pet is also friendly and Husky enjoyed the stay. Would definitely booking with her in future.”
“Kripa has been very kind. She took care of our pet like her own. She was always prompt in responding to messages. She sent updates of our pet from time to time. I was very happy and content with her service and I would definitely choose her even the next time I have this necessity”
“Ginny was absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Everything from her genuine love for dogs, communication, and even the location. She was so responsive, kept us updated with photos often. Our girl Daisy loved her so much and we felt so reassured the whole time we were away. It was a vacation for our dog and we plan to send her back to Ginny often. I cannot say enough positive things, she is PHENOMENAL!”
“Mylo has not been boarded for 3 days for a really long time but he was certainly treated like family- Pics showed he was very comfortable with everyone and made himself right at home ( very important to me) -He arrived home relaxed and destressed -A happy pup 🐶 so thank you for giving Mylo a calming and friendly experience -He will definitely be requesting another visit 😊”
“Andrea is an amazing sitter. She takes her time to ask questions, ensure that our boy was looked after well. She also is great a communicating and sending pictures and updates.”
“Absolutely 5 STARS! Our beloved dog Harper is our love and priority now that we are empty nesters. We were so extremely fortunate to find Martha and her family ❤️. We didn’t need to worry about anything! While we were away Martha sent us updates and videos and we were so appreciative! Harper was quiet during her first day home and I think it was because she missed Martha and her family! We are going away in the fall and will certainly be using Martha! I highly recommend her!!”
“Heather by far is the best pet sitter we have ever encountered. Communication up to and through my baby’s(Dog) stay was simply amazing. Not only did she take the time to learn about our dog’s needs, she really took him in as family. We received multiple daily pictures and videos, of adventures Pablo had while in her care. Parks, play time, walks, food, and cuddles, I feel my dog had a vacation of his own. What caught me by surprise is Pablo never cuddles with anyone other than me, and my wife, so for him to cuddle up with her is a testament of how well he was cared for. Heather will be our go to moving forward for any pet sitting needs, cannot think of anyone else ever caring for our dog but her and her lovely family.”
“Danielle was the PERFECT choice to watch our boy Taco while we had to attend an out of town wedding. She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”
