“Ricci took such great care of our Waldo! You can tell she is such an animal lover when you meet her. She sent updates and photos so we had peace of mind when we were away. Waldo will be a repeat customer!”
“This was Elphaba’s very first sleepover with anyone! Holly was awesome at sending me updates and pictures and the very first picture was my dog smiling ear to ear for the very first time in her life. I trust Holly implicitly with my pup and 100% will be using her in the future. Thanks a million Holly!!”
“Charlee and Max stayed with Arshpreet and her family for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We received regular updates throughout their stay, including photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were in good, trustworthy care. Highly recommend & will certainly book again.”
“Madison was so caring with my dog Pepper, and sent so many updates and pictures! Pepper played so well with Madison’s dog Fin (such a sweetie!), and I didn’t worry about her at all while we were away! I appreciated her quick responses so much!”
“Robyn was great, she looked after my Great Dane for a weekend, she sent me frequent updates on his activities and let me know he was settling in well, which calmed my fears as an anxious dog mom. I’d highly recommend Robyn for anyone looking for a calm and caring pet sitter.”
“Sadie was amazing! Extremely responsive to inquiries, and accommodating when making arrangements to meet, drop off and pick up. She gave excellent care to our beautiful girl, and sent lots of updates with pictures. Sadie (our lab) was grinning ear to ear in each picture. We were completely at ease leaving our girl with Sadie and have no hesitation in giving Sadie a 5⭐️ review! Thanks again Sadie!!”
“Deanna & Scott did a great job caring for my dog while I was away for 10 days. They sent me lots of pictures and were always easy to talk to. I had no worries while I was away which made my trip much more enjoyable.”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kirti took care of my 5 year old lab over night and I have nothing but the best to preach! She kept me updated quite regularly with photos of what they’d gotten up to, dinner time and any friends made. She’s a very sweet person and took very good care of my high energy dog, I’d highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!”
“Ayssa always send me pictures about my puppy and she is so nice that can accept him for extension time as I couldn't pick him on original booked time. I believe he must had a really good time with all her family member as he still look as much as happy before. Thank you so much!”
“My first time finding someone to look after my boy, Remmy, and I am more than happy that I found Elsa! From scheduling an intro meet, to working out the details, everything was excellent and went smoothly. Remmy had a blast, and when I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed and happy! I couldn't have asked for more :) thanks so much Elsa!!:)”
“Kelsey is easygoing, reliable, and genuinely cares about pets. My dog seemed to have a great time, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend K as a dog sitter.”
“Katherine is a very charming, enthusiastic, and positive person. She had the energy for my lil fur babies. She always sent me pictures, and even celebrated my one fur baby's birthday with streamers and bows. I felt very relaxed knowing my girls were safe with her.”

About: My first pet was a cat and her love & personality made me a forever cat lover. I have cared for cats since I was 10. I have owned 3 cats since my childhood baby, and have 2 of them now! I have experience with administering medications, liquid and pills. My 2nd baby was born deaf so I am comfortable with any impairments your pets may have. I also love taking my one cat outside leashed & monitored if that’s something yours would enjoy.
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.

“Pamesha did an awesome job watching my little guy Harvey. It was my first time leaving him with someone he doesn’t know and Pamesha definitely put my mind at ease the minute I met her and saw how she interacted with Harvey. And bonus! She tuckered him out so much that he took a nap the minute we got home!”
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
“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!”
“Just from meeting him, I immediately felt like Jacob knew dogs, and could handle Tony no problem. When I picked Tony up afterward, he was all tuckered out from the visit. It looked like he had a lovely time hanging out with Jacob and his housemates. Would recommend.”
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 who are also social. 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 us 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.
About: Heyy! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I’m especially experienced with reactive and separation anxiety dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love hosting and caring for animals, and I’d be excited to give your pet the same attention, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a university student with only 1–4 hours of classes per day during the week, and Mondays are completely free. Outside of class and on weekends, I’m usually home with plenty of time to care for your pets. I have lots of time and energy for pups, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home very clean and organized and have quality pet supplies to make pets feel comfortable. For daycare and boarding, I can care for pets in my home or yours. My home has a spacious, private bedroom that can be used as a safe and comfortable space for your pet when they need quiet time or rest. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness and will regularly clean up after pets to keep their environment fresh and hygienic. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can potentially stay at your home full-time depending on your needs and preferences.
About: I provide safe, patient, and loving care for pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on reliability, clear communication, and gentle handling. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable attention and flexible care based on each pet’s specific needs and routine. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior, and provide gentle supervision at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain routines, and ensure pets receive attentive, trustworthy care.
“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: RELIABLE AND CARING PET SERVICES: I have 6+ years of veterinary assistant experience and 2+ years of safety-focused dog-walking from volunteering at the local humane society. I love dogs of any size or breed, and have experience with cats and most farm animals, as well. I would love to help with any kind of pet care you may require! I have extensive experience with administering medications and monitoring conditions, so I would be comfortable caring for older, sick, or special needs’ dogs, as well as dogs of any kind of temperament. I am familiar with basic training concepts and able to reinforce current practices to help meet goals while in my care. My family dog, Finn, is a very high-energy Irish Setter, so I can also accommodate and enjoy spending time with dogs of all energy levels! I am comfortable and happy providing 2+ hours of outdoor exercise in hiking environments (on-leash) if you are comfortable with me transporting your pet in my SUV vehicle. My compressed work schedule allows plenty of time for attentive pet- and house-sitting to keep your furry family members happy and entertained - please see my ongoing availability! I am able to follow all preferred pet owner protocols diligently. I am aware of the importance of safe food and substance storage, as well as monitoring for normal bodily functions and detecting common signs of distress which may require medical attention.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I also fostered a court-rescue dog through the SPCA for over a year, giving me valuable experience with anxious and nervous pets. I’m experienced with rescue dogs, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I have a calm, pet-friendly cat at home and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. Friends and neighbours regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. 🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a fully fenced grass yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Since I have a resident cat who is very laid back, I primarily welcome guest dogs who are already comfortable and friendly with feline companions. Because I am currently based at home, I can offer constant supervision and a consistent routine that mirrors your pet's life at home. Whether I am boarding a dog or visiting a cat for a drop-in, I focus on personalized care, ensuring they are well-exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention. My background with rescue animals means I am highly observant of body language, so I’m always making sure every pet feels relaxed and at ease, whether we’re relaxing in the garden or out for a walk.
About: I currently walk and watch my friends dog. It is a pleasure I always look forward to and to spend time with him. I do not have a dog at the moment but I used to before he passed. Growing up we had cats in our household. I mostly enjoy taking dogs out for walks, playing with them and spending time with them. I enjoy being around animals, it makes my day that much better! I am full of energy myself so I am able to match that of your pets! Getting your dogs energy out, I can do that! I am new to this program but not new to taking care of dogs and cats. I am very enthusiastic about this program and want to help others out. Working from home I have the flexibility to fit in primarily dog walking throughout the day. That also gets me out and off the the computer for a break! I will listen to the clients needs and wants and provide the care for their pet that they want. I am here to help out.
About: It all started with rabbits when I was a 4 year old. My dad bred them and we had well over 60 at one point. I had a pair of baby ducks when I was 8 years old. Then along came my budgie when I was 10. I have a lifelong experience of caring for many different types of pets. In the past I have had rabbits, ducks, a budgie, cockatiels, finches, rats, and aquariums. I took riding lessons as a teen and worked on the horse farm to pay for my lessons. I also have experience with exotic animals as I worked for a short time in a zoo. I have owned 5 dogs. A Husky (who lived to 15), an Australian Shepherd (who passed at age 12 from cancer), a sports mix - Border Collie/Staff/Russel (who passed at 14.5 from CHF), another Australian Shepherd (who passed at 11 from cancer), and I currently have a male Australian Shepherd. I work part time throughout the winter and have a tourism business during the summer. My work schedule is generally 4-6 hour days with a few off during the week. Your pet's care would fit in with my own pet's care. My dog is young and energetic and loves to play with other dogs. We hike most days in the woods surrounding the house. I have a pup who loves other dogs (he would have to come with me for overnight visits). He is playful and affectionate. I have 20 acres of woods to walk in (plus access to my neighbour's trails) and live on a small lake if your dog enjoys swimming. I am very knowledgeable in the care and training of animals, especially dogs and will be taking a first aide course when one comes available. I am very diligent about keeping dogs away from the road and they are always on a leash or longline.
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.

About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life.

About: Van and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have a 12 month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She enjoys playing with other dogs and we have trained her in many domains. she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! Van works full time, however I work part-time and thus some days potty breaks will be 0-2 hours, however other days it may be every 4 hours. On the weekends, we would be able to take them out 0-2 hours :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)

“Brigit and Robert were absolutely fabulous!! We highly recommend them to anyone who wants their fur family member very well taken care of. Lucy, our husky mix rescue, definitely loved her stay with them. We knew she was in great hands and having an awesome time too because of the updates with photos that they sent us during Lucy's stay. We will for sure book Brigit and Robert again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Caitlin was so good with our big dog. She provided updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking good care of Miles! We will contact Caitlin again when we come back to the Kingston area (or anywhere East Ontario). 😁”
“Pamesha was a great communicator in my first time using the Rover app. I really appreciated her clear and thorough profile when making my choice online. She agreed to a pre-meet in which I was even more confident this would be a great fit for Indie. She made an instant connection with Indie and during boarding we appreciated the regular outings/exercise/and pics of her both in Pamesha’s home and out frolicking. She gave great attention to specific instructions for feeding and schedules which helped Indie transition both to boarding and on return home. I look forward to booking Pamesha again.”
“Melissa and her lovely family took great care of our Irish wolfhound Henry, not in the least phased by his 165-lb frame. Because he tends to be anxious if left alone in a new place, she even slept downstairs on his first night there. Her sweet dog Tulip also helped him feel more at ease. Henry soon relaxed, chilling in their dog bed (and cat bed--at the same time!) and snuggling on the couch. We look forward to leaving him with Melissa again.”

“Leah and James gave my senior dog the best care! She was so happy to return home, but missed her caregivers! We will go to Leah and James again, next time we travel. Their homey atmosphere meant my dog didn’t even to seem notice that we had gone! They are trust worthy dog people!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for.

“Zoe was absolutely fantastic! I was very nervous to leave my 3 furry sons, but she constantly reassured me everything would be fine, and sent me pictures and updates daily. When I saw how much fun my sons were having, I felt much more calm. She set everything up for them in her lovely home, and cared so well for them. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a critter sitter.”
