“Gretel and Sebastian are absolutely AMAZING! It’s was so hard to leave our puppy for the very first time, but they both made the adventure so much easier. They are caring, loving, and treated our puppy just like their own. The photo updates also really helped us to know everything was okay. Thank you for such a wonderful first “night away from home”!”

“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!”

“Allyson and her family were absolutely fabulous with Chica\! From the very beginning, Allyson’s communication was stellar—she was incredibly responsive, kind, and so accommodating, especially when I had to make last\-minute changes to drop\-off and pick\-up times\. They sent me lots of pictures throughout Chica’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for\. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’ve already booked Chica’s next stay with Allyson and her family\! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and caring home for their pet\. 🐾❤️”

“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!!”

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.

She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”

About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

“I had a wonderful experience with this sitter while they cared for my dog, Luna. They were incredibly attentive and made sure Luna felt comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how she was doing, it gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Luna was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. When I picked her up, she was her usual cheerful self, which says everything about the quality of care she received. I would absolutely trust this sitter again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to their pet’s needs.”

About: We are a family who has a love for all animals! I personally have experience running an animal rescue, as well as with medically complex pets that require medication and special care. At this time we are very selective with the boarders that we accept to ensure we are able to provide the best care and experience for your pets. We are currently only accepting one small dog at a time for boarding to ensure your babies are well taken care of and are able to have a peaceful experience. I’m home with my two kids and two fur babies. We have an infant and a nine year old child. We have a senior boxer mix, Bailey, who is a full time napper, and part time Amazon delivery driver watch. We also have our free range Bunny, Clover, who is litter trained. Our home has a very large yard, however, is not fenced so I air on the side of caution and keep dogs leashed. The street is very quiet if we feel like going for an on-leash walk.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities—from independent, easygoing cats to those who are more temperamental or sensitive. I grew up with a cat and currently have two of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines like feeding, litter maintenance, and creating a calm, predictable environment where cats feel safe. My previous cat was very temperamental and required patience and a careful approach to handling and interaction. I learned to respect her boundaries, read her body language, and adjust my care style to meet her needs without stressing her. While I loved her dearly, she required a lot of patience which I am now so grateful for. I also supported a cat in the later stages of life who required more hands-on care and monitoring. That experience taught me how to stay calm, consistent, attentive and loving when a pet’s needs become more complex, while always prioritizing comfort and routine. I understand that every cat is different, and I always let them set the pace. Whether your cat is shy, independent, affectionate, or requires extra care, I aim to provide a safe, low-stress experience and dependable care while you’re away.

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)!

“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 🙏”

“I got to know Maggie from Rover with all the good reviews and I must say that the reviews didn’t disappoint me and my pup. Maggie was very understanding, professional, loving, flexible, and thoughtful. I was nervous about my pup’s first time away from home when I was at work, and Maggie made sure that I would feel at ease with constant updates and pictures. My pup spent his first day at her care with love, snuggles and fun. I’m so happy that I found Maggie knowing that my pup is in good hand. Wish I could give more than 5 stars but I can’t 😂”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities and quirks. My own dog is a certified Therapy Dog, so I’ve put time into learning how to understand and work with dogs—not just love them. I’ve completed dog training with my own pup, including a course focused specifically on dog behaviour. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Basically, I’m here because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—and getting paid to be around animals is a pretty great arrangement. 🩷 I’m happiest when life is a mix of staying busy and having some time to slow down. I’m easygoing, responsible, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I’m excited to use some of my extra time to do something I love while helping out other pet owners when they need an extra hand. I will take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication, house rules, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal is different, so I let them set the pace and give them time to become comfortable with me. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it\.

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: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. 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. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. 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 take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. 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. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!

I work full time Monday to Thursday, so I can't do those days, but my weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

I can do very basic grooming if necessary and will keep your animal stimulated while also keeping them comfortable. I take care of my friends' and family's animals and it shows in the bond I have developed with these animals. I absolutely love animals and am also a vegetarian because I care deeply about the suffering of animals. Your pet will be treasured and loved in my care. : )

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities and quirks. My own dog is a certified Therapy Dog, so I’ve put time into learning how to understand and work with dogs—not just love them. I’ve completed dog training with my own pup, including a course focused specifically on dog behaviour. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Basically, I’m here because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—and getting paid to be around animals is a pretty great arrangement. 🩷 I’m happiest when life is a mix of staying busy and having some time to slow down. I’m easygoing, responsible, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I’m excited to use some of my extra time to do something I love while helping out other pet owners when they need an extra hand. I will take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication, house rules, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal is different, so I let them set the pace and give them time to become comfortable with me. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it\.

“Jessica took such great care of Molly! As an overprotective pet parent, it was so hard for me to leave my dog - but Jessica made sure to update me and send photos so I knew that Molly was in good hands! Her dog Snow is great too - very playful, but respectful of space if the other dog does not want to play. With a large outdoor run and spacious home, Molly definitely got her exercise. She’s so tuckered out and happy, and I am too! Thanks for taking care of my precious pup, Jessica!”

“LOOK NO FURTHER! What a relief to have found Graham and Freddie! From initial contact, Graham was professional, prompt, flexible, and caring. He simply thought of everything, and was so patient and reassuring when I had a load of questions and concerns. Freddie is a cool companion! We left Bruno for the whole weekend, and I was astounded at how confided felt that he was just fine. Graham sent periodic photos, and I could tell on Bruno’s face that he was comfortable. (You know how you can see the stress in their eyebrows - he was simply smiling the whole time!) Upon pick up, Bruno was relaxed and balanced. He even swung back around to seemingly say thanks and goodbye to Graham before hopping into the car! We’re very grateful to Graham’s above and beyond care, and wish he were closer. We’ll definitely be seeking his service when we visit the Lindsay area next!”

About: *Calendar shows general availability but I must meet you and your pet prior to booking! No bookings are guaranteed until we have had a meet and greet. Rates are high to reflect the app's fees and are only for the first walk.* I have been a professional self-employed dog walker for over 15 years. I am currently seeking new pups for group walks, private walks, puppy visits and boarding in my home on a select basis this winter. Also available and experienced in drop in care for cats and other small pets. Check me out on Instagram cheesedogs.po :) I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter through the winter. I currently have space in my afternoon group walk for the right dog(s), and I have a lot of availability in mornings, midday, and late afternoons for private walks, puppy visits, and cat care. My dog walks are exclusively on leash. The afternoon pack plays off-leash in a secure, fenced in yard and then we have a leashed walk together. I train dogs to walk loose leash. For boarding, dogs must be small dog friendly and have zero prey drive. They must sleep in a crate but are free to roam my apartment when I am home to supervise. We always use leashes for pee breaks and walks from my home.

“Janine took excellent care of our fur baby (Bella) when we boarded her for 6 days. The whole process of booking, meet & greet & boarding, went smoothly as Janine is a very responsive, friendly, caring and thorough person. We felt very confident to leave our fur baby under Janine's care for 6 days during the meet and greet. She has a very well maintained big backyard which is a plus. She also got a water pool tub in her backyard for Bella to play in, which was super nice. She also has a dog named June who is very sweet and cute and Bella loved to have her company. She kept us updated and informed throughout the boarding period and sent us photos and videos frequently which was great. Also, her rates for day and overnight boarding are unbeatable. We are glad we have found Janine to board Bella for our future trips.”

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.

“Danielle was the PERFECT choice to watch our boy Taco while we had to attend an out of town wedding. She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”

“Andrea was very great at communicating and Made sure both our dog and us were comfortable. Winston seemed to have a wonderful time, and was tired out from walks and adventures with Andrea. As long as Andrea will have us, we will certainly use her again!”

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Thursday, so I can't do those days, but my weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.

About: I unfortunately have no experience other than I’ve had my cat for over a year now and my puppy for 7 months. I love them with all my heart. I have also been around dogs since the day I was born (all different breeds and ages). I work from home for my step dads business (Kodiak Metal Buildings) so this works perfectly as I need a little more money and have so much love for animals. I have a fenced in lawn and a 11 month golden retriever pup that loves every other animal! He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
