“Catia was AMAZING with Altivo. We left Altivo with her for 10 days and she sent updates regularly. She took him for daily walks, a trip to Canadian tire, the beach and car rides. In Every photo our dog looked so happy. He even had an issue with his ears that she took care of and snuggled him to make him feel at home. Definitely recommend her as she clearly loves animals and takes very good care of them.”
“Jeff provided a great first experience for our Lulu. His home is clean and comfortable, and he has a terrific fully fenced back yard. Jeff provided updates and pics throughout her visit, which was greatly appreciated. We look forward to future opportunities to have Lulu spend time with Jeff.”
“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.”
“Our Mylo (Cockapoo) was right away comfortable with Zaira. She obviously loved dogs and knows how to take care of them. Her son also made our Mylo feel comforted when he was a bit anxious. Thanks Zaira and family for taking good care of our pet.”
“Our little Bonnie had a wonderful stay with Sandy. Unlike many others we felt 100% happy and confident that our little ball of fluff was well cared for. Bonnie came back very happy and relaxed which is a great sign. Sandy had lots of space to give Bonnie the exercise she needs, being quite an active dog this was great to see. We have certainly found our sitter for bonnie and will be using Sandy again without hesitation.”
“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!”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“We needed a place for Sam to stay on the spur of the moment and we found Monique on Rover. We were updated frequently during her stay with pics and creative captions. Sam was so well cared for and enjoyed the company of the two resident canines immensely ! Thank you so much for providing such great care Monique!”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Darien did a great job communicating before our dog's arrival and sent lots of updates/pictures during the stay. Our dog seemed to have a great time and we would gladly have our dog stay with Darien again.”
“Thanks, Jennifer & Brent. As always, Copper had a great visit with you and we really appreciate your flexibility and accommodating style! Ron, Jennifer & Copper”
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!

“Absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old pup. She communicated promptly and well. Very pleased with how my pup was cared for and returned home!”
“I have left my cat with Teena & Wayne a few times, even as long as 4 weeks one time. They have always taken good care of him. Its nice to have somewhere to leave your pet and not be worried about them. Teena is also very flexible and easy to communicate with.”

“Jedidjah did an amazing job with my cats while I was away. I was kind of nervous leaving them with someone unfamilar but she did a meet and greet before I went away and her calm demeanor put any worries I had at ease. She kept me up to date with how they were doing and sent me pictures every day. They took to her like white on rice. I will happily be rebooking with her in the future when I go away on vacation 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. That's how much they care about the animals. They brushed him and gave him cuddles. Every day they texted updates with pictures. I will be using them as my cat sitter from now on. I 100% trust them with my cats care.”

“Holly is incredible. This is her second time with my kitties. I have a very timid cat, and she let Holly give her pets and came out to eat in her usual spot.

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.

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!
“Jenny was quick to help us out on pretty short notice. We just moved to Welland so my regular sitter cancelled. Hunter usually runs away when anyone comes in to the house, but Jenny sent pictures of him hanging out with her and said he Meow- talked to her on just the second visit. So she has his seal of approval, which is most important!”
“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!”

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 always loved being around dogs and know how much they brighten a day. Whether it’s walks, play, or just company, I make sure they’re cared for and happy. Being a student gives me the flexibility to fit into your pup’s routine and keep things easy for both of you. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, most of Wednesday during the day, and weekends too. That makes it easy for me to fit in regular walks or quick check-ins when you need them. I take walks seriously and always put safety first, whether that means sticking to familiar routes, keeping a close eye on traffic, or matching your dog’s pace and energy. I’ll follow any instructions you give so you know your pup is in good hands.

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! My schedule is quite open due to my job. I'd love to fill in my extra time with some dogs and cats! Plus my kid loves them! When pet sitting, I treat each pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment.

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.

“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!”

“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”

“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”

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.
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.

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: 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.

“Catia was AMAZING with Altivo. We left Altivo with her for 10 days and she sent updates regularly. She took him for daily walks, a trip to Canadian tire, the beach and car rides. In Every photo our dog looked so happy. He even had an issue with his ears that she took care of and snuggled him to make him feel at home. Definitely recommend her as she clearly loves animals and takes very good care of them.”
“Jeff provided a great first experience for our Lulu. His home is clean and comfortable, and he has a terrific fully fenced back yard. Jeff provided updates and pics throughout her visit, which was greatly appreciated. We look forward to future opportunities to have Lulu spend time with Jeff.”
“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.”
“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!”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Darien did a great job communicating before our dog's arrival and sent lots of updates/pictures during the stay. Our dog seemed to have a great time and we would gladly have our dog stay with Darien again.”
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!
“I have left my cat with Teena & Wayne a few times, even as long as 4 weeks one time. They have always taken good care of him. Its nice to have somewhere to leave your pet and not be worried about them. Teena is also very flexible and easy to communicate with.”
“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.”
“Hayley was amazing! we could tell coco had a great time during her stay since she came home tired. She was very responsive and took care of all coco's needs. Definitely recommend her”
“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!”
“Meagan was a great communicator and provided lots of pictures of our girl. We could see that she had lots of fun, and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
