“They are the BEST dogsitter ever. My dog Beethoven was there 7 days. They keep me updated every day , treathim like they own family members. Thank you for give him all the loves and cares !!!”
“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jeff’s services! He truly is a kind person with an amazing ability to look after your animals. This was our Bernese Mountain dogs first time away from us. (He is almost 3) Jeff gave us regular updates and pictures. The most amazing thing to us was when we came to pick Henry up of course he was so excited to see us, but he turned back twice towards Jeff as if to thank him! For a dog to make a connection with someone in 24 hours tells us Henry was so comfortable and trusted Jeff. Beyond grateful for this wonderful care!”
“Catia was incredibly attentive to my dog while she was boarded. My dog was incredibly well taken care of and had exciting enrichment opportunities (playing with others, trips to the park, time in the backyard, and quality snuggle time indoors). Catia offered a safe and fun home for my dog to board while I was away and sent many updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with Catia again!”
“Sandy and her partner were lovely to communicate & coordinate with and I received regular updates on Shadow’s stay with them. They have a big back yard that is fenced in that my dog loved to explore and a nice deck for him to sun tan on (his fav). Would highly recommend Sandy as a rover sitter!”
“My dogs had a blast with Zaira and her family!!! They spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful we were having over the weekend and she gave them the love and attention they needed. She followed all care instructions to the letter and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay. Overall 10000/10, will absolutely re-book with Zaira. Mil gracias 💛”
“Agnes did an amazing job of taking care of our pup! Our pup came down with intestinal issues the morning we were supposed to drop her off but Agnes was happy to look after her anyway. She made chicken for her to settle her upset stomach and kept a closer eye on her with constant updates to us. I can't say enough how much we appreciate the great care that Agnes provided!”
“Samantha took great care of our Old English Sheepdog (Mick) while we were away for a week over the holidays. We were updated with photos and can’t say enough good things about her and the care/attention she provided. We highly recommend Samantha and will gladly be repeat customers. Thank you Samantha!”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Charlette and her family took such great care of our little baby. She sent several updates and pictures all day. Because of her great care I was able to visit family with no worries about our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!! I will definitely use again if in the area in the future.”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“We took our two year old Westie to Jen and Brents for an overnight stay to see how she would do. Maggie loved being there. She was so well cared for that when we came to pick her up it was like a quick 'Hi!!' and kiss and she was off. We where curious to see how she would fair at betime but she snuggled in on their bed (although she is a 'bed hog!!!' or I say a 'pillow hog?'. but felt right at home. They spent time playing with her with her toys, making sure she had lots of outside time. Maggie loves to be outside. So we would highly recomend Jen and Brent to take care of your beloved pet anytime if you are looking for exceptional care. We will be using them again for sure.”
“Teena & Wayne took amazing care of our cat and dog while we were away for 9 days. They have never been taken care of by anyone other than family in the past. My boys seemed quite comfortable and happy while they stayed with them. We will definitely use them again ❤️”

“I highly recommend, they are caring about yr pet, trust worthy and reliable!!! I cannot fully express how amazing they were with my fur baby. They came for at home visits and made sure my cat had his every need met. They even brought a radio for background noise for him and filtered water for him to drink.

I 100% trust them with my cats care.”

“Paige was great and followed instructions perfectly. Dogs were looked after and there was no mess in the house to worry about while we were on a short vacation. Thanks for the great photos and open line of communication!”
“Jenny was really great to work with. Her many pictures and updates on how Hunter was doing made us feel very secure while we were away. He usually hides away when anyone comes to the house but her pictures showed him snuggled right up to her so he obviously gives her a paw-sitive review!”

About: I’ve had cats since I was a child. We started by taking in strays/being gifted barn cats from friends. Living on a farm we saw many litters born, and as I grew older I realized how important fixing them was, so we started getting all the ones around our home fixed/vaccinated/dewormed. I started trapping kittens from friend’s barns and finding rescues to take them, fostering them in the meantime until they were ready to find a home of their own. I’m looking forward to the company of your pet and playing with them/caring for them. Note: we do have dogs in the home but they stay fully separate from the cat room.
About: Hi my name is Aaron! I'm an Aussie who moved to Canada around two years ago. Enjoying the outdoors and wildlife living in Lake Louise; I met my wonderful partner where we decided to move to Niagara and closer to family. We both have a strong love for animals and knew this would be the perfect gig for us! I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs - specifically Boxers and an Alaskan Malamute - always ensuring they feel loved and secure. Over the years, I've developed many skills in pet care, including feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness. I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and independent pets who require a gentler approach. I understand just how special each fur baby is and we feel honoured anytime someone chooses to trust us with theirs! I currently have a part time job early morning but have the help of my partner in looking after your fur baby whenever I am out of the house! I have a fenced off back yard big enough for any dog to stretch its legs and get some fresh air. I also love getting outside and going for walks just as much as they do!

Feel free to message or call and ask any questions. Currently i have as a school bus driver and some time in between. Can't wait to hear from you and hopefully take care of your furry baby!

About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large. I am a childcare provider who is working part time. I have lots of free time during the day to care for your special furry friend. I work part time so have lots of free time to get out and go for walks during the day in all types of weather. We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.
“Agnes was very good with such a high energy dog such as Menewa and I was really impressed with how well she could keep him engaged throughout the day with exercise/puzzles/walks etc. She gave me multiple updates throughout the day and sent lots of photos and videos. Menewa came home and very happy boy and I would recommend Agnes to anyone who feels like their dog is too high energy for the average person.”
“Felipe was amazing. We had scheduling issues due to travel and he was very understanding. Batman and Peanut had an amazing time; they were happy and tired. Would definitely use again!”

“My boy had a great day, he was so happy! Thank you so much for taking good care of Cloud! We really appreciate the updates! We will surely, book again with you guys! thank you so much!”
“Daniela was the perfect choice to take care of my Maple (Pomsky) when I was away for a day! She sent constant updates and pictures of their activities. She is experienced and very caring of fur babies, I endorse Daniela and say this with ease that your fur baby will be in good hands.”
“This was our first time leaving Santo with someone other than family. Natalie made us feel confident he would get good care, and he sure did! Santo fell asleep immediately after getting home —thanks for all the exercise and playtime with Luna!”
“Hazel had an amazing stay with Sydney and family. She took great care of Hazel. Sent us the photos and also supported in some dealers. We would love to book the service again for Hazel and provide a very positive feedback.”
“Ace is our tiny baby and every time he stays with Dhizzy she is so gentle, caring and kind to him. We so appreciate her and all she does to make sure Ave has a great time while he is with her!”
“I can't say enough good things about Jolene and Martin! Ellie loved them and loved going to their home for care:) she came home tired and hungry and that was great! She was so excited when we were in the car turning onto their street, it was so reassuring to see! This is my first experience with doggy daycare and I won't hesitate to book them again should the need arise:) thank you for being so good to my Ellie!!!”
“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”

Highly recommended ?”

“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”

About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I bring both lifelong experience and professional knowledge to every animal I care for. Having had cats my entire life, I understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities on a deep level, and I also had a dog growing up and have been taking care of dogs for years, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines as well. My work at a pet store has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and care practices. I’m confident providing attentive, specialized care for pets at every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need extra patience and support. I also have experience administering most medications, ensuring pets stay healthy and safe while you’re away. Above all, my genuine love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m a university student who recently experienced an unexpected change in my schedule, leaving me with more free time than I had planned. While I do have a part-time job, I’ve found myself wanting to stay more active and productive rather than feeling idle. That’s what drew me to an app like this—I’m excited to use my extra time in a meaningful way by helping others. Although my availability may vary at times, I’m eager to be as flexible and reliable as possible and look forward to supporting as many families as I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation, whether that’s walks, play sessions, or simply keeping them company. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and can provide extra support for senior pets, puppies, or kittens who may need more attentive care. In addition to caring for your pet, I keep your home clean, secure, and well-maintained so you can return with peace of mind knowing everything was handled responsibly.
About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.

I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.
“Communication with Max was excellent. He is friendly and professional. During their first meeting, he immediately won my anxious dog over with his calm and gentle energy. It is evident that he has experience with dogs and his love for them shines. I am very satisfied with his services and will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.”
“Katrina has been an incredible help walking our dog! We had a baby and used Katrina while we figured things out with a newborn. We would absolutely recommend Katrina and would not hesitate to use her again in the future!”
About: Hi, my name is Tiffany. I love all kinds of animals and have a lot of experience caring for different pets. I currently own 2 little rat babes and am a dog mom to a Great Pyrenees puppy. I am in love with big dogs, the bigger the better! I grew up in a home that has constantly had pets and I couldn't picture my life without a furbaby. My life has revolved around animals and their wellbeing. I have done a co-op course at a Vets office in the past and learned so many new things for the 6 months that I was there, it was an experience like no other. With all my knowledge I am positive your pet will have a blast and make a new friend in me!
About: Hi my name is Aaron! I'm an Aussie who moved to Canada around two years ago. Enjoying the outdoors and wildlife living in Lake Louise; I met my wonderful partner where we decided to move to Niagara and closer to family. We both have a strong love for animals and knew this would be the perfect gig for us! I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs - specifically Boxers and an Alaskan Malamute - always ensuring they feel loved and secure. Over the years, I've developed many skills in pet care, including feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness. I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and independent pets who require a gentler approach. I understand just how special each fur baby is and we feel honoured anytime someone chooses to trust us with theirs! I currently have a part time job early morning but have the help of my partner in looking after your fur baby whenever I am out of the house! I have a fenced off back yard big enough for any dog to stretch its legs and get some fresh air. I also love getting outside and going for walks just as much as they do!

About: I’ve spent the past few years helping care for dogs for friends, family, and people in my community. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy on their walks. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, leash preferences, exercise needs, and any special care requests. I enjoy long walks, outdoor activity, and giving dogs plenty of attention and positive interaction. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, from playful dogs who love exercise to calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also make communication a priority and can provide updates and photos during walks so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during most weekdays, including afternoons and evenings. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashing practices, and avoid unsafe situations or overly crowded areas when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to animal behaviour, and I believe building trust with both pets and owners is important. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.
About: As a loving pet owner for over 50 years, I consider every pet a true member of the family and pride myself on providing a warm, nurturing environment where your dog will feel right at home. Since I am retired, pet care is my daily routine! I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your dog, ensuring they get constant companion ship, frequent potty, breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, your dogs safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a completely fenced in yard where they can safely stretch their legs and I love taking dogs on daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored entirely to their pace and energy level. Because I am a retired and home full-time. I follow their usual feeding schedule exactly, provide frequent potty breaks and give them free rein of the house. They are welcome as part of the family meaning plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship all day long.

“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jeff’s services! He truly is a kind person with an amazing ability to look after your animals. This was our Bernese Mountain dogs first time away from us. (He is almost 3) Jeff gave us regular updates and pictures. The most amazing thing to us was when we came to pick Henry up of course he was so excited to see us, but he turned back twice towards Jeff as if to thank him! For a dog to make a connection with someone in 24 hours tells us Henry was so comfortable and trusted Jeff. Beyond grateful for this wonderful care!”
“Catia was incredibly attentive to my dog while she was boarded. My dog was incredibly well taken care of and had exciting enrichment opportunities (playing with others, trips to the park, time in the backyard, and quality snuggle time indoors). Catia offered a safe and fun home for my dog to board while I was away and sent many updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with Catia again!”
“Agnes did an amazing job of taking care of our pup! Our pup came down with intestinal issues the morning we were supposed to drop her off but Agnes was happy to look after her anyway. She made chicken for her to settle her upset stomach and kept a closer eye on her with constant updates to us. I can't say enough how much we appreciate the great care that Agnes provided!”
“Samantha took great care of our Old English Sheepdog (Mick) while we were away for a week over the holidays. We were updated with photos and can’t say enough good things about her and the care/attention she provided. We highly recommend Samantha and will gladly be repeat customers. Thank you Samantha!”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Charlette and her family took such great care of our little baby. She sent several updates and pictures all day. Because of her great care I was able to visit family with no worries about our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!! I will definitely use again if in the area in the future.”
“Teena & Wayne took amazing care of our cat and dog while we were away for 9 days. They have never been taken care of by anyone other than family in the past. My boys seemed quite comfortable and happy while they stayed with them. We will definitely use them again ❤️”

“I couldn’t have picked a better place for our Millie to go for the weekend. Felipe and his sweet family took care of Millie just like they would their own sweet fur baby. We told Felipe Millie liked to swim and he went the extra mile to let her play in the water. She had so much fun!! 10/10 Recommend!”

I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
