“We had a great experience with Tara and Mike. They made our dog feel right at home and were so inclusive with both our dog and theirs . They are all such kind loving dogs. They also had the freedom to roam the house, and could sleep wherever they were comfortable. We received updates throughout the stay, and it was clear our pup was happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“I was very happy to know that Mia was in good hands while we had a weekend away. Actually was later than expected and Cynthia was super cool about picking her up whenever I got there. No stress at all. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you very much!”
“Josey was absolutely amazing! She spoiled our dog with lots of attention, enrichment of all kinds, and gave him a place he could feel at home. Our dog was so happy there! Could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for watching Milo! Bill was very nice and made Milo and us feel comfortable. He sent pictures to me so I could see Milo was doing good and gave updates by text. When my car broke down unexpectedly he drove Milo back to me. Thank you so much for taking care of him! I would recommend them.”
“This is our first booking with Rovers. I was very hesitant leaving our fur baby just with anyone. I must say it was a great relief that Catherine was able to provide a safe caring family environment . Catherine exceeded our expectations and we will use this service again Thanks Bernice”
“Katherine provided one on one care for Copper, she was very professional and asked all the right questions to care for him. We were very pleased. Home away from home! We will certainly use her again in the future! Thank you Katherine from Joyce, Les and Copper”
“Chetan is exactly who you want looking after your dog when you need a caregiver for them. He is exceptional and provides multiple video updates daily! He communicates within minutes about drop off and pick up. We would definitely rebook with Chetan and recommend him to our friends and family if ever in need of care for their animals. Thank you again!!!”
“I wish I can give Alison 100 stars. She is the best. She treated my dog as her own, sent pictures everyday & great communication. I was away on vacation & my dog had a hard time with the 1st & 2nd sitter & Alison was able to rescue my dog and welcome her into her home and made me feel st ease. Thank you Alison I definitely recommend anyone to you.”
“We highly recommend Courtney and Kevin!! Our Lily stayed with them for 11 days including Christmas and was so well taken care of! They sent plenty of photos and videos and we could tell she felt safe, comfortable and right at home!”
“Rebekah and her team were wonderful with our dog Loki! As a dog mom dropping her pup off for the first time they were understanding of my concerns and helped us feel very comfortable leaving him in their care. We will definitely be reaching out to them again!”

“Ashley was amazing! She helped us out in a pinch with a very last minute request due to an unexpected situation. She even arranged a meet and greet with us in the limited windows of time we gave her. Our dog had so much fun with her and her family and I’m sure will be super excited for another visit. Thanks again!!”
“Three weeks of amazing care as we vacation in Perth, Australia. Exceptional care and communication with us even with the 13 hour time difference. Thank you from us and Jojo! 💕🐾”
“We can’t thank Claudia enough for the amazing care she gave Raven while we were on vacation for 9 days. She kept us updated every single day with messages, cute pictures, & videos, which meant so much to us. It was clear Raven was happy, loved, & well cared for. We’re incredibly grateful & would highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a trustworthy & caring dog sitter. Thank you again Claudia for watching our sweet angel!! ♥️”
“Our Zoë is usually a big ball of stress when we have to travel without her but at Mike’s, she’s on her own vacation! Very grateful for Mike and his quality home care with our favourite fur child. 5 stars!”
“Alma is an angel on earth with Dogs! My two Huskies mean the world to me and finding Alma to take care of my huskies overnight was a gift… I’m not sure why I chose her but I did and I have no regrets whatsoever! And obviously I’m gonna be a repeat customer to her and I know my Huskies are like family to her! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️”
“Sreeparvathi and Vysakh were truly exceptional caregivers for our Goldendoodle during our 10-day trip. From our initial meet-and-greet to the day we picked him up, they were warm, welcoming, and professional. Their genuine hospitality and dedication to our dog’s well being were evident from the start. They went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and safe, providing consistent love, attention, and care. He was fed on schedule, enjoyed plenty of playtime and walks, and had a wonderful time exploring their spacious backyard. They kept him well groomed and tidy throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the daily updates, complete with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy and thriving under their care. We are deeply grateful for the kindness, reliability, and one-on-one attention Sreeparvathi and Vysakh provided. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a loving, trustworthy dog sitter and we will absolutely book with them again.”

About: I've owned multiple cats throughout my life. I prefer the sit back and let them come to me approach. You've gotta play it cool, then, before you know it they just happen to be in your lap and within petting distance.

I am new to the Woodstock area and looking to build my walking roster here! I love every pet as if they’re my own! My friends have always made fun of me for the way I communicate with animals but they are part of the family! I will respect your space and ensure your pet is just as loved as if you were walking or caring for them.

About: I provide attentive, calm, and reliable care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I have experience caring for active adult dogs as well as dogs that require a more patient approach, including those that may be anxious or need a consistent routine. I focus on maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home, including regular walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable managing large dogs and energetic breeds, and I pay close attention to behaviour, body language, and safety during walks and play. I am also attentive to health needs such as medication schedules, special diets, and monitoring for changes in behaviour or appetite. My goal is to make pets feel secure and comfortable while keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos.

I’m available for regular walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs.

I always prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and respecting each dog’s comfort level and boundaries.
“Alyson Moulton was very reliable and caring! She cared for my cat Dexter for 3 days this past week, and did a terrific job of reporting on his overall condition, food intake, and litter usage. She also monitored Dexter well! I would highly recommend Aylson to anyone!”
“Agatha did a great job with the drop-in visits for Nova and Chief. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it was reassuring to see them happy and cared for while I was away. Everything was done as asked, and I came home to content puppies.”

About: Over 30 years of dog ownership and care. I am a retired Pharmacy Technician so I have lots of experience with medications and administration. Large property for exercise. Indoor area for playtime. We’ll treat your furry friend like we do our own, showering them with love, cuddles, and treats while following your dog’s specific diet requirements. I’m a retired pharmacy technician, so I’m very familiar with medications and administration. My husband works nights, so there’s always someone here to have naps with. We have over 10 acres of land, including about 8 acres of bush with walking paths. There’s a fully fenced dog run attached to the house for bathroom breaks. We have a large room dedicated to indoor play and rest, and a large, cleared outdoor area for playing fetch and water activities when the weather is nice. There’s plenty of shade for relaxing on hot days. We’ve always dreamed of running a boarding kennel or daycare. As dog owners for over 30 years, we’ve mostly had more than one dog at a time. Years ago, we even had a litter of eight Labs! Currently, we have three dogs: Jenny, a retriever mix female we helped rehome when she was 10 months old; Oscar, our 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog; and Maverick, our 4-year-old Red Retriever. We also have our grand puppy, Cooper, a 4-year-old Basset Hound, who lives in an attached apartment with our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Cooper is with us when his parents work. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. We’re non-smokers and have elderly parents, one in a wheelchair, living with us. We also have a new baby in an attached apartment.
About: I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with over 20 years of fostering experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience supporting pets with different needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including following feeding schedules, monitoring behavior, and administering routine care as instructed. I understand how important consistency and attentiveness are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their regular routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply companionship, I provide calm, reliable, and loving care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing a safe, nurturing, and stress-free pet sitting experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide regular potty breaks, timely meals, walks, medication support, and plenty of companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure their routines are followed closely and their individual needs are met. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, quiet rest, or extra monitoring for pets with medical needs, I’m able to give them consistent attention and supervision. Working from home allows me to be reliable, responsive, and adaptable, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as part of my everyday routine. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, pets have access to a large yard and a secure, fenced-in dog run, giving them plenty of safe space for exercise, play, and fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are comfortable, engaged, and safe. Inside, pets are treated like part of my family. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, medications, and rest to help them feel at home and reduce stress. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets receive the same level of attention, consistency, and love they’re used to, including maintaining their normal schedules and providing updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for—just as if they were my own.

“As owners taking our 9 month old Whippet to daycare for the first time ever, Chetan put all our apprehensions to rest. Our pup Ripple excelled under Chetan's care. She absolutely loved him and loved the farm. Chetan would send videos and answer any questions we might have had. His hours are very accommodating for a busy lifestyle. If you want a tired and content dog at the end of the day, Chetan's farm is highly recommended!”

She is flexible with scheduling as I am a shift worker and that is so appreciated !! Highly recommend!!”

Luke passed away in 2020 but Leia is still as young as ever at twelve years old! I’m currently looking to make a career change from human services into animal care and seek further knowledge of animals to further my passion for animals! I have a fenced yard for my two year old Golden Retriever so he can roam the yard and do his business as he pleases.

About: PET CARE EXPERIENCE I’ve been around animals my whole life — from dogs to hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and cats — and have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with gentle handling, enclosure cleaning, basic feeding routines, and adjusting care to each pet’s energy, behavior, and routine. I genuinely enjoy learning each animal’s quirks and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, stimulated, and happy. With dogs, I like to incorporate mental enrichment through games and basic trick training — but only if you’re comfortable with it. I use hand gestures paired with verbal cues for clear, positive communication. Some fun commands I’ve worked on include: • “Statue” – freeze in place • “Quiet” – settle and stay calm • “Kiss” – stand still and allow a gentle kiss on the top of the pup’s head • “Out” / “Get your toy” / “In” – for toy retrieval and clean-up routines I previously offered in-home boarding but now focus solely on caring for pets in their own homes. That experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m reopening my availability and excited to welcome new clients again. I’ve worked with pet parents through Rover and personal referrals, and I’m committed to providing dependable, respectful care. I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which gives me the availability to prioritize pet care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is energetic or reserved, I follow their routine, respect their personality, and ensure they feel safe, mentally engaged, and cared for while you’re away. SCHEDULE I’m currently self-employed and doing flexible gig work, which allows me to fit pet care smoothly into my weekly routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs. Since I don’t work a traditional 9–5, I can provide attentive, reliable care — whether that’s multiple visits per day or overnight stays in your home. Your pet will always have someone calm, present, and focused on their comfort and routine. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay relaxed and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and downtime — so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I used to offer boarding in my home and have experience creating safe, calm spaces for pets. While I no longer board animals at my own residence, that experience taught me how to manage routines, monitor behavior, and respond to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. I take pet care seriously and treat every home with respect — I’m clean, mindful of your space, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a baby! But I’ve been more responsible (walking, feeding, taking them to the vet) since I was about 12 years old. I work from home! So I can take breaks as needed to care for your pets, my schedule is very flexible! Working from home is also a great advantage if your pet needs someone to hangout with during the day. I am an animal lover, and I’ll do everything to make sure every pet feels safe and loved while I’m my car. My house has a fenced yard and I live about a block away from the park!

“I was very happy to know that Mia was in good hands while we had a weekend away. Actually was later than expected and Cynthia was super cool about picking her up whenever I got there. No stress at all. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you very much!”
“Josey was absolutely amazing! She spoiled our dog with lots of attention, enrichment of all kinds, and gave him a place he could feel at home. Our dog was so happy there! Could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine provided one on one care for Copper, she was very professional and asked all the right questions to care for him. We were very pleased. Home away from home! We will certainly use her again in the future! Thank you Katherine from Joyce, Les and Copper”
“I wish I can give Alison 100 stars. She is the best. She treated my dog as her own, sent pictures everyday & great communication. I was away on vacation & my dog had a hard time with the 1st & 2nd sitter & Alison was able to rescue my dog and welcome her into her home and made me feel st ease. Thank you Alison I definitely recommend anyone to you.”
“We highly recommend Courtney and Kevin!! Our Lily stayed with them for 11 days including Christmas and was so well taken care of! They sent plenty of photos and videos and we could tell she felt safe, comfortable and right at home!”
“Rebekah and her team were wonderful with our dog Loki! As a dog mom dropping her pup off for the first time they were understanding of my concerns and helped us feel very comfortable leaving him in their care. We will definitely be reaching out to them again!”

“Ashley was amazing! She helped us out in a pinch with a very last minute request due to an unexpected situation. She even arranged a meet and greet with us in the limited windows of time we gave her. Our dog had so much fun with her and her family and I’m sure will be super excited for another visit. Thanks again!!”
“Three weeks of amazing care as we vacation in Perth, Australia. Exceptional care and communication with us even with the 13 hour time difference. Thank you from us and Jojo! 💕🐾”
“We can’t thank Claudia enough for the amazing care she gave Raven while we were on vacation for 9 days. She kept us updated every single day with messages, cute pictures, & videos, which meant so much to us. It was clear Raven was happy, loved, & well cared for. We’re incredibly grateful & would highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a trustworthy & caring dog sitter. Thank you again Claudia for watching our sweet angel!! ♥️”
“Our Zoë is usually a big ball of stress when we have to travel without her but at Mike’s, she’s on her own vacation! Very grateful for Mike and his quality home care with our favourite fur child. 5 stars!”
“Alma is an angel on earth with Dogs! My two Huskies mean the world to me and finding Alma to take care of my huskies overnight was a gift… I’m not sure why I chose her but I did and I have no regrets whatsoever! And obviously I’m gonna be a repeat customer to her and I know my Huskies are like family to her! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️”
“Buddy had an amazing week in Justine and Inna’s care. He received great care and his complex health needs were covered. If you are looking for a loving home for your fur baby to visit this is the one!!!! I highly recommend 😊”
“This was our first time having our boy Ollie, stay with a non-family member/friend, and we truly could not have picked a better sitter to board him with! Britt sent us several updates throughout the weekend which made us feel good and eased our nerves. Ollie seemed to be so comfortable with her and her home. I highly recommend using Britt for any of her services!”
“Esther and Mat are amazing! Kit had a great first stay with them. They sent updates and pictures during her stay. We felt very comfortable leaving Kit and she was happy when we returned. Thank you to them!”
“This was the first time we had left Rudy (4.5 months old) for any extended period of time since she had come home with us. I was very anxious about how she would handle being away from us, but she made a new family at Andrea's! From the many photos I received, it was evident that Rudy was right at home with Andrea. We will definitely be booking her again for any of our dog sitting needs!”
