“Charlie and his wife were great. We gave them a smaller ‘princess’ dog and a large high energy dog and they took them both in with no issue! Dogs seemed to have a good time! I would definitely board here again!”
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care our dog, Louis, received from Deb and Marron. From the very first interaction, their communication was outstanding—always prompt, clear, and incredibly thoughtful. They went above and beyond in terms of flexibility and attention to detail, which made us feel completely at ease leaving our boy in their care. It was so evident from the photos and updates that he was not just being looked after, but genuinely adored and doted on. They took him to the Santa Claus parade, had holiday photo shoots, and filled his days with so much fun, love, and big walks. He clearly was happy and we felt completely comfortable and trusting in their care. We have never experienced such personal, warm, and exceptional service from a dog-sitting duo. It’s clear that they do this for the pure love of dogs, and their kindness and professionalism shines through in every aspect of care within their lovely family home. Thank you for giving Louis such a memorable, safe, and joyful experience—we couldn’t recommend you both more highly!”
“We could not be more pleased with Brigit and Robert. We have absolute confidence that our dog is safe and happy in their care. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding and will definitely be taking advantage of their hospitality in the future. Thanks guys!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Sheila. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Our dog absolutely adored her and was so happy and comfortable the entire time. We’ll definitely be rebooking in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Beau absolutely loves staying with Saskia! Her love for dogs and how much she cares for them is clear the moment you meet her. Will continue to book her again and again. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Fantastic experience! Great communication, video updates, and it was obvious Remy was well cared for. I had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Robyn was great and the dogs loved their stay with her. Rudy is very timid and shy but she warmed right up to Robyn. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet Care in the area.”
“Josephine recently took care of my 2 standard poodles - 12 years old and 4 years old. The 4 year old was rehomed to me a year ago and is a challenging dog. Josephine was just fantastic with both of them - taking care of the 12 year old's mobility issues and making sure the 4 year old was exercised and entertained. It was so clear from the photos Josephine sent that both pups were having a grand time and we have already booked their next stay!”
“We are so grateful for Lynette! We’ve had her take care of our 5 month old yorkie poo twice now, once for a weekend and once just for the day. The true testament to how good she is with our pup was how excited he was to see her when she came back to pick him up the second time! Lynette has been on time, very good at comminicating how things are going, and sends pictures while we’re away. She also took Dobby for walks and sent us a map of where and how far they went. I definitely recommend Lynette, she’s very sweet and you can tell how much she loves dogs and knows how to train and care for them.”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only was she transparent but you can tell she loves her guests like her own. Bowie and Yuki were well taken care of and most definitely enjoyed their stay. Will definitely book again with her if needed, thank you Melissa! ❤️”
“She is simply the best! My cat Aurelio didn't miss me at all because he was having the best time of his life with Danesha. She sent me daily updates and played with my cat all the time. Highly recommended!!!!”
“Luke has been beyond amazing with Wall-E. We do not trust most people with our dog but Wall-E had an instant connection with Luke. Luke was extremely attentive to all of Wall-E's needs and kept us updated multiple times during the day. Towards the middle of our trip our anxiety about Wall-E was all gone. Would highly recommend Luke to any dog parent. Thanks Luke!”
“This was my first time using this service and my selection of Alexis was the best thing I did for myself and my dog. We met before hand with her beautiful dog Sonny, that has an amazing disposition and it was a great connection. Alexis and her family have a nice home that is very accommodating and comfortable for a dog if any size. I received photos and video updates. I felt relieved that my dog was in great hands and will not hesitant to have my dog spend time with Alexis and her family.”
“Excellent. So easy to work with this lovely young couple who watched over my senior cat for a few nights. They made sure she was comfortable and sent me many photos throughout. My cat arrived home in good spirits and in good health. Pamesha communicated very well with me the entire time, from drop off to pick up, which made me feel comfortable knowing my old cat was in good hands. :)”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jean taking care of my puppy, Bean! She was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure Bean was comfortable, happy, and well-engaged. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos throughout the day, which showed just how much fun Bean was having. Her professionalism and love for dogs truly shone through. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her services to any pet owner!”
“Heather was wonderful! We appreciated the pictures and videos of Pepper and Heather’s dog having the best time. She made sure Pepper was comfortable and checked in regularly. I would definitely book again!”
“Yasmin and her family were nothing short of perfect. They handled and took care of my Oso as if he were his own family. They went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of, nurtured and always happy. He went on walks, trips and they were excellent in also giving him his medication properly and to my exact request. I 1000% recommend and am forever grateful to have found these wonderful people to watch over my beloved Oso! A+++ service an WILL rebook again!!!!”

Thanks Myriam”
About: I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Biology from the University of Guelph and completed the Veterinary Technology program at St. Lawrence College. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes, I bring a strong foundation in animal care and a genuine passion for their well-being. I work as a Registered Veterinary Technologist at an animal hospital Tuesday-Friday, with Saturday-Monday off. However, I am very flexible and can accommodate your pet care needs, including staying at your home and commuting to work if required. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I am committed to providing attentive and reliable care. With 7 years of post-secondary education in the field of animal medicine, I am committed to providing the highest standard of care for your pet. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times.

“Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊”
About: Absolutely! Here's the same question answered specifically from the perspective of an experienced **cat sitter**: --- I have over 5 years of experience as a cat sitter and currently have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the unique behaviours, needs, and personalities of feline companions. What sets me apart is my deep patience and intuitive approach to building trust with cats, especially those who are shy, territorial, or take time to warm up to new people. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who may need medication, special diets, or gentle handling. I’m confident with administering oral medications, grooming long-haired breeds, managing litter boxes, and providing enrichment through play and stimulation. I also have experience with multi-cat households and understand the importance of maintaining routines, respecting boundaries, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I keep pet parents updated with daily photos and detailed reports, and I always treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, respect, and a calm, reassuring presence.

“Nicole was great with Jackson and flexible when our timings changed unexpectedly. Jackson was happy and stress free when we picked him up. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Charles took amazing care of Mario! When we picked him up, Mario was happily tired out after all the playing. We were visiting Gananoque on a trip, and it was such a relief to have Charles look after him while we went on a cruise.”
“Luke was great with Cow! She immediately started playing with her toys with him and that’s a rare occurrence with strangers. She was pooped after a day of walks with him and it was nice to know that she could get some exercise and some couch cuddles, the perfect balance for her. Luke was keen to oblige to all the picky requirements that a chihuahua has. 20/10 would leave Cow with Luke again! Thanks for being flexible with booking and for taking good care of her!”
About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since I was 16, caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I'm partially retired and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. As a former dog mom, I miss the companionship, walks, joy and love that dogs bring to everyday life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or extra attention while you're away, I'm able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of schedules. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making them feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special needs. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and your dog's comfort level to help ensure a safe and positive experience. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident.
“Saskia was wonderful! She gave sent us numerous photos and kept us updated through the day. We got updated through the day and she was very kind and friendly. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”
“Kirti was a friendly and warm caretaker who was good to Hannah. Hannah, being a shy doggie, loved her instantly, so I had no worries about entrusting her to Kirti. She also responded to my messages very quickly. Thank you so much, Kirti!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Ernie’s daycare! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Ernie was happy, well looked after, and clearly received lots of love and attention during his stay. Communication was excellent, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about every dog she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Ernie again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter or daycare!”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
“Pamesha was great with Patches again (this was her second time watching Patches). I would highly recommend her if you are looking for dog sitting. She took her on regular walks, posted regular photos, and played with Patches.”
“Krystal provided the perfect environment for Pooh. He got great care. At 13, blind and with diabetes, he still finds ways to get in trouble. He was safe. His medical needs were addressed and he was able to play safely with other pets.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of cats and dogs over the years and can't wait to meet more. I provide high-end care for any pets in the Kingston area! For pets coming over to my home for care, I have one female golden, Sia, who gets along well with all animals. I am also now specializing in care for reactive dogs. I work part-time at Queen's University during the evenings and always have all daytimes free for whatever you or your pet has in mind for that day! I have strong safety senses and always come prepared with all the crucial first aid equipment and pet tools that could be needed in any situation. I also have the back of my car setup for pets, should yours need to be transported somewhere.
“Super nice with me and my cats. Helpful along the way (they helped me bring them up and down). They sent pictures/video of them to see how they interacted. Very good first experience!”
“Graham and Laura took such great care of my little guy! And bonus - they tuckered him out so good he passed out on the drive home 🤣🤣🤣. Harvey can’t wait to hang out with them again!”
About: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised. I recently retired and I am looking for ways to stay active and dog walking is an activity that I enjoy. We currently have our own dog and he loves companions when appropriate. If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”

About: My name is Emma , I’m 35 years old and a graduate of the police foundations program here in Brockville, at St Lawrence College. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 2 dogs, chickens & ducks. I’m an animal lover and have some extra time now and would love to walk/take care of your pets 😊 Please contact me if you’re looking for dog walking or pet sitting. I have 8 years experience walking dogs and pet sitting. I have 2 dogs myself, a boston/boxer mix named Larry & a whippet named Louie. They are very sweet and typically good with other dogs. Louie is not fixed & can sometimes take issue with other male dogs. That’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t offer boarding in my house. I currently have 2 steady clients but am always looking to expand, I keep myself available almost every day of the week so if you are in need of a last minute walk or sit I will most likely be available/ I can be pretty flexible to accommodate. I’m also doing house cleaning & looking to get some new clients there so if you happen to be in need of a cleaner or know someone that is please let me know! I have over 10 years experience cleaning & consider myself a very thorough cleaner. I can clean/pet sit if that interests anyone as well. 😊 I’m currently also working as an instacart shopper & do house cleaning, but do dog walkings midday and can work around my instacart/cleaning schedule to include more dog walkings/visits. I’m not offering boarding for dogs as I think it would be too much, already having 2 dogs myself. I am willing to do at home/overnight visits for anyone who is interested 😊
“Juno started whimpering when he saw Thomas arrive for his walk. On a cold, windy, rainy day - Juno had no other hope for exercise. He gives 4 stars. He said he’d give 5 but Thomas didn’t have steak in his pocket.”
About: I am Pet First Aid certified and certified through Fear Free’s Shelter Program and Boarding & Daycare Program, which trained me to recognize fear, anxiety, stress signals, arousal levels, body language, and environmental triggers. I grew up in a dog friendly family and spent 12 years caring for my family dog, including her current senior stage care. My Life Sciences and Biomedical Science background also makes me detail-oriented and observant with changes in behaviour, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I focus on secure handling, safe routes, calm interactions, and adapting the walk to each dog’s temperament, age, and energy level. My goal is to provide reliable, low-stress dog walking that owners can trust. I am currently in my summer break (May-Sept). while writing up my research paper draft, I will be flexible with my schedule 7 days a week 6:00am-10:00pm for dog walking. I have full G license with my own vehicle. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and calm handling. Before each walk, I confirm the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and any special instructions. I also apply what I learned from Fear Free shelter and boarding/daycare training by paying close attention to body language, fear-anxiety-stress signals, arousal level, thresholds, and environmental triggers. I check that equipment is secure, choose safe routes, avoid unnecessary dog to dog interactions, and adjust the pace to the dog’s comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress walk while giving owners peace of mind.

I usually start my day by walking my dog, I am currently available every day during week and weekend to care for the needs of your pet. It’s crucial to prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment when caring for pets. When I take care of pets, i make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. As well as spend quality time with pets ensuring they feel safe and loved in the environment.
