“Our dog had a great stay with Sheilagh and Teresa-- and we loved getting the pictures to show it. Sheilagh was quick to respond and went over and above in their care for our dog (a husky with lots of energy). Thanks for the great care, Sheilagh and Teresa!”
“Gretel took amazing care of our pup. It was his first overnight away with anyone besides family and we appreciated knowing he was safe, happy, and in an enriching environment. Thank you Gretel!”
“Loghan has a lovely calm demeanor and is knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. My dog was instantly comfortable with him. What a wonderful experience we will be back.”
“Bryan and Raisa were AWESOME. True animal lovers, very compassionate, patient and involved. We left our 4 month old puppy with them for 4 nights, and felt confident and at ease the whole time. Would absolutely use again!”
“Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring and keeping dogs company since I was 17. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and provide loving companionship for their pups.

I’m fully available on both weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I live in a house with a patio and unfenced yard, offering plenty of space both indoors and outdoors.

“Hunter is very relaxed and happy with Scott & Emily. They have been so reliable in filling our needs, puts our mind at ease. We know Hunter is in good hands! Thanks for cleaning him up!”
“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.”
“Ellie instantly bonded to Rojina ( Seyyedehhosna) which put us at ease. Her daily updates including pictures showed us how happy she was and the excellent care she was receiving. Rojina's love for all animals is very evident and we would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life having grew up around multiple dog breeds both male and female!

Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”
“Penny had the best time with Vicki and her family. She felt at home so quickly. I really appreciate Vicki’s caring nature, transparency, and flexibility. Penny loved her stay. She’s the best!”
“We just cannot thank Elizabeth (Jayne) enough for all the love and attention she gave our old boy, Jack while we were away on vacation. Jayne was happy to be in touch with us and regularly sent pics and videos. Jack doesn’t always do well without us, but he settled in quickly and absolutely loved all the walks, love and attention he got at Jayne’s house! Jack is diabetic so it was such a relief knowing that Jayne had lots of experience giving insulin too. We will most definitely be calling Jayne again! Thank you, Jayne!”
“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Joanne is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her family was wonderful, and Penny enjoyed lots of walks, attention, and affection while staying in their home. We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Our dog Fudge was made to feel welcome and more. Susan was flexible, pleasant, responsive and attentive to our needs and Fudge. It was nice to see pictures of him settling in and to hear that he adjusted well. We definitely recommend her , especially for anyone who wants their dog to get personal attention. Fudge enjoyed lots of that!”
About: I am flexible in care and understanding every pet and pet parent has a unique need - not every situation will have the exact same care, and thats okay! :) I work remotely in my house. I have flexible working hours and can accommodate anything your fur baby needs. I am experienced with all animals from cats, dogs, rabbits, bearded dragons, fish, etc. I live in a bungalow with a fully fenced backyard and a secure gate. Feel free to ask me any questions to make you feel most comfortable about my care for your pet! I will work with whatever you and your pets needs are to ensure you are both happy and comfortable, knowing your pet is in good hands! I treat every animal as if they were my own :)
“During a recent stay with Devin, Wendel was very well cared for. Devin was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending lots of photos and regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear Wendel was having a fantastic time—they went on plenty of walks and hikes, spent lots of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine, and Wendel looked happy and relaxed in every update. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Devin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“My cats are sensitive people cuddles and get lonely when left alone. Angela was amazing with them, and they warmed up to her instantly. She attended to their idiosyncrasies such as regular 4 times a day feeding and dish placement to prevent food theft and bullying and more. When I returned home, my cats were calm and content. Besides the beautiful daily photos and updates Angela sent while I was away for a week, I knew Juno and Luna had been well cared for just by their demeanour which was markedly different from when they have gone to boarding facilities. Having a home stay like Angela is the way we will go from now on. In this regard, Angela was so incredibly gracious. I have been in the midst of renovating and decluttering my home as I reclaimed it from my grown children, and Angela urged me not to worry about it. This and the exceptional care given to my fur babies allowed me to enjoy a long overdue break. Thank you 🙏”
“Rebecca is a kind and trustworthy pet-sitter. She took great care of our kitty while we went on vacation. She sent photos and updates every day and kept him entertained with toys and treats. It brought us peace to know he was in good hands and allowed us to enjoy our time away. :)”
About: Hi, my name is Monica! I am a mom of two and an animal lover who enjoys helping people feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for. I provide calm and reliable cat check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, litter care and companionship. In the past I have provided care for my neighbours and friends and focus on following the kitties routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that every cat has their own personality, some enjoying attention, while others are happiest with a calm, respectful presence and some space. I am happy to follow their lead. As a mom, I value providing reliable and attentive care, while treating your home and loved ones with respect. I like to provide updates with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend(s)!
“Gretel did daily drop-ins for my cat while I was out of town. I got daily pics and she even cleaned up the litter that my cat's fluffy feets track down the hallway. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sienna was such an amazing sitter! My two kitties were super happy! She took a bunch of pictures and always let me know what she had done during the visit (play,feed,litter,etc). She was super easy to coordinate with as well! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I’ve had cats in the home since I was just a baby. By age 8 I completely took care of all cat related tasks in my home including; brushing, feeding, hydrating, some training, kitty litter. I’ve loved cats since I was little to now as I have 3 of my own precious babies. I am available for drop in visits 2-3 times a day Monday - Friday 5am - 2pm
About: From playful kittens to independent adults and senior cats, I understand that every cat has their own routine and comfort level. Whether your cat loves to play, enjoys quiet companionship, or prefers their own space, I'll respect their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I also know how important it is to keep litter boxes clean, maintain feeding schedules, and provide a calm, low-stress environment that helps cats feel at ease. I've had the joy of caring for four cats of my own, giving me hands-on experience with cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I've cared for both male and female cats, including those that were spayed/neutered, as well as females while they were in heat. This has helped me become familiar with a wide range of feline behaviors and how to provide patient care.
About: Your furry friend's happiness is my top priority! With years of experience, I specialize in dog walking, puppy care, and dog and cat sitting. Allow me take your dog on their next adventure! I am currently in school, which leaves most of my days open. This allows me to be flexible with my time and prioritize your pup. Your dog's safety and well-being is extremely important to me. I ensure that each walk is tailored to your dog's needs, whether that's a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog. I provide water, treats, and plenty of love to keep your furry friend happy and healthy.
“Benjamin is very responsive, professional and attentive to the needs of our cats. Our cats liked him immediately upon meeting him and were at ease in his presence. Benjamin went above and beyond to make sure our cats were cared for, even staying past the 30 minute appointment to make sure the cats played enough and all required tasks were completed. He made sure our first experience with Rover was an excellent one! If you need a pet-sitter, you won’t find someone better!”
About: I’ve had cats in my home all of my life, but have had my own cat for 3.5 years now. My cat is part bengal, so naturally he is very energetic and smart. I’ve taught him to sit, high five, lay down, and fetch. I’ve given him both oral and topical (such as eye drops) medications successfully, and have always followed veterinary instructions closely. I clean his litter boxes daily, as he is quite particular. Furthermore, I’ve done a lot of research about cats in order to give him the best life possible. He has a water fountain away from his food because cats prefer running water, he is fed a special urinary care dry food because of past issues, and he is also fed wet food because moisture is of utmost importance for cats and their kidneys - especially male cats. I never keep flowers or toxic plants in my house for his safety, and I take him outside on a leash so that he is able to get the stimulation he needs with less risk. I’m a very particular cat owner, and would understand and respect any other cat owners preferences, just as I’d hope someone would do the same for me.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and respect for animals, paired with a calm, reliable presence that pets quickly trust. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means energetic walks for dogs or quiet love for shy cats. I’m detail oriented, communicative, and always ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. My experience includes senior pets, new borns, medication administration, and nervous animals who need extra patience. I treat every pet like family and take pride in creating a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and with my part-time work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I structure my days around their needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening playtime and cuddles. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. My home is pet friendly, clean, and fully prepared for furry guests, with a secure, fenced in yard perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and plenty of space to roam. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, personal connection with cats, born from rescuing and caring for my own two cats throughout their entire lives. From those tender post-surgery days to every purr-filled moment since, I've cherished and nurtured them. This lifelong commitment gives me a unique understanding of feline needs, ensuring your cat receives the most compassionate and attentive care, tailored to their individual well-being
“Vanessa was awesome! She cared for our cat Luna while we were away, providing lots of updates & photos each visit. We had a last minute change to our pet care and Vanessa was able and willing to help us out with only a few days notice. We really appreciated her stepping up to help us and for being so loving to our sweet Luna. Highly recommend! We will definitely book Vanessa again in the future :)”

“Gretel was amazing from the moment we connected. Luna had a great day at her house, playing with other pups. She slept from the time we got home until noon the next day! She can’t wait to go back for more fun soon. Thanks Gretel!”
“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.”
About: Hi! We are Star Sitters here on Rover, with 6 years of professional pet care and 18 with our own animals. Someone is always here in our calm, safe, and dog friendly home so your dog can spend the day with company instead of being home alone. We do live with our loveable Boston Terrier, Gus, and we are often found hiking on dog friendly trails on the weekend or spending time at the lake. We are very active, enjoy being outside and think dogs should be too - Gus has a lot of energy so daily excercise is key already here. I work as a professional planner and Scott works from home and we are both free on weekends with flexible schedules. We spend a lot of love and time on Gus, who, like us, loves being around other dogs. We would be happy to meet you and your doggy in advance so you can get to know us. Emily works in the office four days per week just a few minutes from home, Scott works from home. Neither of us work on the weekend. Our home is save for any animal - we're smoke free, drug free with no children. Gus loves other dogs and always enjoys having a friend around. Our back yard is mostly fenced in and it's tucked behind. The front is also mostly fenced with a small garden fence.
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog here. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we knew Hua was in great hands. She was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, ensuring our dog received plenty of love, exercise, and proper meals.”
“Not only did we need a daycare appointment on Christmas Day, we had to make a last-minute switch to Boxing Day. We had never worked with Bryan and Raisa before but we will again, definitely! Molly was well cared-for and in great spirits when we picked her up! We received some pics throughout as well. Thanks so much to Bryan and Raisa for giving us peace of mind!”
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: Thank you for reading over my page! I've grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. And I love all animals. I'm most familiar with poodles, chow chows, and frenchies, but love all the funny and lovable characteristics every individual dog or cat possesses. I also have extensive experience with reactive dog, and can assist those who need walks with low interaction, special needs, training, etc. I currently work part time as a Law Clerk. This is why I am able to provide almost constant care in your home, dog walks, and whatever else you may need for your furry family members. Looking to help care for your little loved ones, and can also offer some special needs such as medication administration. I am most interested in house/pet sitting over weekdays and weekends. I can also accommodate last minute demands. Dog walking/hiking, drop-ins. All are welcome! Can't wait to meet you! Because I work part time my schedule is generally fairly open, except for school drop off and pick up during the school season. If your furry friend needs constant, uninterrupted care, please let me know and I will advise whether that will be possible. Your pets are your family, and I understand that. When I am caring for your pet I will always treat them with the utmost care and love, making sure any special needs or wants are met 100% of the time.
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 am flexible in care and understanding every pet and pet parent has a unique need - not every situation will have the exact same care, and thats okay! :) I work remotely in my house. I have flexible working hours and can accommodate anything your fur baby needs. I am experienced with all animals from cats, dogs, rabbits, bearded dragons, fish, etc. I live in a bungalow with a fully fenced backyard and a secure gate.

“Shelby was great! Miri has separation anxiety and Shelby helped by letting us do a meet and greet the day before her daycare. We handed over Miri quickly in the morning and Shelby kept me updated on how she was settling. Will definitely recommend her for anyone in the area. See you again Shelby next time we are in the neighbourhood. Cheers Jane and Miri”
“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.”
About: I had a family dog for 13 years. I have been on rover for a couple of years now and I have had all different kind of experiences through the app. I have had many different dog walking clients from puppies to senior dogs. I have done house sittings anywhere from 1 night to 5 week long stays, I’ve even just dropped in for a few hours to keep your animals company and take them on walks. I have looked after all kinds of dogs and cats and even chickens. I am so passionate about animals and making sure your animals are comfortable and happy during your time away! I just recently got 2 puppies so I have been training them and looking after them so I have recent experience with puppies as well. I currently am working part time but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate for your needs. If your animals can only be left alone for a certain amount of time I am more than happy to work around those hours. I typically don’t do house sitting in my own house. I feel it’s best for the animals to stay at their house so it’s an easier transition into having me look after them. The animal is typically a lot more comfortable having someone new around if it’s in their own home from my experience.

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.

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 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.

In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.
“Our puppy has done a few days of Daycare with Kasi now, and today we needed a bit more time as I was going for day surgery, Kasi was incredibly accommodating and I didn't worry about our little guy for even a second today. I just knew he was in great hands!! I would highly recommend Kasi.”

About: I have taken care of animals and had the tasks of walking or pet sitting in the home for the past couple years. I am comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes and feel my skills that I have from owning pets myself will better allow me to watch your own pets. Throughout my time watching pets I have had a variety of aged pets and choose to adapt to their comfort level, such as playing fetch and walking on more challenging terrain with a younger dog, and finding a flatter and less busy trail/path for a senior dog. I am currently a University student here in Ottawa and the flexibility of dog walking in my schedule would be perfect! The ability to choose my own schedule allows for me to control my own hours while also maximizing the time I’m able to walk your animals. I enjoy walking on paths and non-busy roads which not only adds to the enjoyment of the walk, but your pets safety. Minimizing distractions for your pet while putting your pets safety and mine first. Within the area I have agreed to dog walk in are some great walking paths and parks that allow for off leash time if given the go ahead by the owner of course.
About: hiii, I’m Devin! (I’m new to Rover) I have (ongoing) experience volunteering at multiple humane societies, volunteering at an animal sanctuary, pet sitting, and I’m going into a Veterinary Technician program next year! I spend lots of my time caring for, playing with and loving animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Patience, consistency, and making animals feel safe and comfortable is very important. Volunteering and spending my time with animals reinforces how important it is to meet the needs of every specific individual animal. Im comfortable following specialized care and medical instructions carefully and paying close attention to changes in behaviour or needs. I’ve given prescribed medication to animals in many ways, many times so I’m 100% okay and accommodating to special care animals. I’m especially good with shy, anxious, or sensitive animals and try to create a calm, low-stress environment for them. I read, watch and learn lots about animals everyday. I have many certifications around animals as well; like the ‘Fear Free’ certification for example. What sets me apart is my experience and also that I genuinely care about animals as individuals and that I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries rather than treating care as “just a job”. This is something I’m very passionate about. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being attentive to their needs. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, medication if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m someone who pays close attention to routines and details, so I understand the importance of consistency for animals. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’m patient and adapt to what helps them feel safest and happiest. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and low-stress as possible. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, bathroom breaks, and rest so they can feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels to make sure pets are comfortable and getting the care they need. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and make sure they have space, attention, and calm interaction at their own pace. Safety and cleanliness are also important to me, and I make sure pets have a secure environment, fresh water, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owner is away.

About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday.

To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.

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.
“Mike was great to deal with with proper handling of our young golden retriever. Was on time, even in the rain and was a big help on short notice when we needed it. Will be back for more walks in the future”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and guinea pigs since I was eight years old, caring for my own pets, as well as friends and families. I can provide great references! I recently took care of a dog and several cats while I was home over Christmas for two families that travelled during the break! I'm a very outdoors oriented person so if your dog loves to go on adventures we would be a good match! I take care in making sure that all dogs are treated with respect and that they are happy and well cared for. I am more than happy to give your dog a great experience, taking their needs and preferences into account. If your dog is good off leash I would love to take them to one of the off leash dog parks in and around the area. I make sure to treat every dog with respect and give them fun experiences that both they will enjoy and their owners will enjoy seeing! I’m currently visiting my family in Peterborough, with a fairly adaptable schedule that leaves me available most of the day, as well as weekends and overnights if needed! I will take great care of your pets in your own home or while walking them, I see pet sitting like nannying and will treat your pets with great respect and give them lots of love!

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!”

“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Joanne is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her family was wonderful, and Penny enjoyed lots of walks, attention, and affection while staying in their home. We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Our dog Fudge was made to feel welcome and more. Susan was flexible, pleasant, responsive and attentive to our needs and Fudge. It was nice to see pictures of him settling in and to hear that he adjusted well. We definitely recommend her , especially for anyone who wants their dog to get personal attention. Fudge enjoyed lots of that!”

“During a recent stay with Devin, Wendel was very well cared for. Devin was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending lots of photos and regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear Wendel was having a fantastic time—they went on plenty of walks and hikes, spent lots of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine, and Wendel looked happy and relaxed in every update. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Devin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!”
“Shelby was amazing! She took Daisy into her home and made her part of their family while she was there. Shelby even sent me pictures so that I would know our girl was okay. So VERY impressed!!!”
“Lisa was great She gave our Mackie a warm family atmosphere in her home and her dog and ours got along so feel it was like they were related. I have a feeling she spoiled him during his stay. She sent us pictures that prove this. Thanks Lisa and I would highly recommend her”
