“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Cindy made us feel very comfortable with leaving our girl with her. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we picked Cindy. She has excellent communication skills and made sure to send pictures throughout Maple’s stay. We will absolutely take Maple back to Cindy’s next time we are going away.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Our pup Theo had a great time staying with Allison and Scott! They were very responsive, and sent along so many great photos throughout our time away. We would definitely book with them again!”
“I was so anxious and having second thoughts about leaving my puppy, Ernesto, for two nights—he’s still a baby and can be a bit of a menace! But this amazing couple suggested a meet and greet, and it completely put me at ease. They were warm, welcoming, and clearly experienced. Ernesto took to them right away, and I instantly felt comfortable. During his stay, everything went perfectly. I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really reassured me and showed how much fun he was having. You can truly see their love for animals in how they cared for him. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, during his overnight stay! He had a great time, and I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Natasha and Sandro were amazing! This was my first time leaving Riley overnight, so I was a bit anxious, but they were super reassuring and kept me updated the whole time. They were really communicative, and it was clear Riley was happy and well taken care of. She came home relaxed and content. I was really happy with the experience. I’d definitely book with them again!”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”
“I can’t thank Sreekumar and his wife enough for the incredible care they provided for my dog, Ace, during his boarding stay. They treated him like their own child, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the regular updates, pictures, and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that Ace was having a great time and was in loving hands. Without a doubt, Ace will be staying with them again whenever I need boarding. Highly recommend their services to any pet parent looking for a safe and caring environment!”
“Winnie was very happy when I collected her, very pleased with. Idols care. She made me laugh when she said Winnie jumped on the bed and jumped up on top of the cat!!Will certainly take Winnie to her again, thank you”
“Kilo had a great visit! Lots of pictures and messages were shared throughout his visit. He was provided many walks and outdoor time, he was tuckered out.”
“Our dog Odin has never been happier at a kennel than he was staying here. He loved all the exercise and running around and he loved getting to stay inside the house and feel like part of the family. Santanna was great with providing regular updates and sending pictures of Odin during his stay. I highly recommend Santanna and her services. Your pet will be safe and cared for like they are at home.”

From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

I’ve raised puppies and, most recently, provided dedicated senior care for my beloved dog until she passed away in May. My home has very few stairs, a beautiful fenced in yard, and everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay. Whether your dog is energetic or enjoys a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own.

I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I treated mine with. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely run and play. There are only a few steps to enter the house, and if your dog has mobility challenges, I’m happy to carry them if needed. Your dog will be treated like family and will enjoy the same love and freedom my own dog did, whether that’s curling up on the couch, relaxing in a cozy spot, or simply being wherever they’re happiest. I also have an 9 year old daughter who absolutely adores dogs and loves spending time with them. We would be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our home, where they’ll enjoy their own vacation while you’re enjoying yours! 🐾❤️

About: My brother got a puppy while he lived with us, so I have quite a lot of experience training a puppy german shephard! I have babysat for him many times for many months at a time, taking care of all 110lb of him with no issues. Caesar loves spending the weekends with me, his aunty, as we get many walks and lots of play time in the evening. Keeping his energy in check has never been an issue for the past 6 years! I am a student who studies often, so I am usually home completing assignments and studying for exams. Since I am free during the day, especially in the summer months, I think dog sitting fits my very flexible schedule! I will always respect another clients home, including removing my shoes before entering and making sure I do not make a mess. My parents also like to keep their house clean even when my brother's dog visits, and I always help clean any messes made including wet paw prints or muddy shoes! I will also be aware that some dogs are nervous and require time to adjust to me entering their space, so spending some time in their comfort area may allow them to trust me better, before taking them out for a walk or having a play date.

I have a spacious home. The home has a large fenced yard for your doggo to play with no issues: I am also pretty flexible and can stay at your place, just so your fur baby is comfy. We can most definitely accommodate to dogs, since we are in a backsplit home, with a fenced yard. I have a cat named Niko. Niko is pretty good with other dogs, as Milo lived with us. He mostly hangout in the basement, where it is cooler and also he is very shy and timid and prefers that.
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

“Jessica is so kind and friendly I feel lucky to have her walking Lola while I'm at work during the day. She is punctual, dependable and accommodating - couldn't ask for a better friend to help out!”
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.
About: I have always loved animals. I personally have always had dogs/cats growing up and my family&friends relied on me multiple times to help take care of their pets while away! My current job requires me to care for 2 dogs and a cat all day! I do work full time but am available early in the morning or anytime after 5 on weekdays! During the weekend I do have more flexibility available :) I currently have two cats that have full free roam of my house. I have watched multiple dogs, I do have easy access to a trail for long walks!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
About: I grew up being surrounded by lots of different animals from cats, dogs, birds, rabbits to chickens I had them all some even at the same time. Even though I may not have pets of my own at this time I still leave no opportunity to pet sit my friends’ pets as my own as I am a huge animal lover. I have breeding experience as well as my cats, dogs and birds had babies so have handled them with great care. Rest assure your pets will be loved and looked after just like they were my own. My work schedule is quite flexible as I work from home and don’t have long work hours which gives me plenty of time to take breaks in between so that I can spend quality time to spend and care for your pets like my own I have a fenced yard so that your pets can play freely. There is lots of space for them to move around. I have friends who have left me with keys to their homes and house sit for them and their pets so you can have trust that no harm will come to your pet

“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”

“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
