“Ricci is amazing. She adores our Bernedoodle Westley like he is her own, and she’s always taking time to send me pictures, videos and updates. I wouldn’t leave Westley with anyone else!!!”
“My dogs loved staying with Holly! Even my anxious Stella cuddled up, had fun and overall had a great time. Holly took loving care of my dogs and gave me great updates. Thanks Holly!”
“Charlee and Max stayed with Arshpreet and her family for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We received regular updates throughout their stay, including photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were in good, trustworthy care. Highly recommend & will certainly book again.”
“Indy was well looked after at Kristiina’s home. She was in very good spirits when I picked her up. Kristiina adapted (enjoyed!) to her little quirks easing any stress that Indy might have had with her first stay. I will not hesitate to leave Indy in her care in the future.”
“Nelaida was exceptional. Maggie usually takes a while to take to people, but Nelaida’s calm, loving manner won her over in minutes. I felt totally at ease in leaving my precious pup with her. I definitely would recommend her to anyone with looking for a small dog sitter. Maggie gave her five doggie kisses! Karrin”
“Eli ( Fern) being to visit Robyn on two occasions over the summer; each visit was very successful. Robyn is a very kind, informative and masterful as a dog sitter! Appreciate her care & highly recommend!”
“Leah (and her husband) are such kind, friendly, and caring people. My special needs senior, Cheeto, was so well taken care of. She also sent tons of photos and detailed updates. I would recommend to anyone!”
“Dhanesha was just so rad with Tony! Not only did she keep me in the loop by sending lots of pictures, but she was also super engaging with Tony during his visit and he came back absolutely zonked. She paid attention to his specific needs and commands, and I could tell she showered him with love because he would have been happy to stay! Thank you for your great care :)”
“Caitlin has a very calm and laid back demeanour which was great for keeping us relaxed about leaving our dog for the week. She provided daily updates and photos which were great as well! Will be looking to her for future trips away when we need boarding! Thanks Caitlin !!”
“As always our 16 year old pup was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. We so appreciate Gabrielle’s calm and thoughtful way of managing all the dogs that come into her house.”

“Heather is an excellent sitter! Penny enjoyed her longer stay with her. Heather sent photos every day which I appreciated. I will be using her again in the near future.”
About: Hey there! I’m Deanna — animal lover, treat‑giver, walk‑enthusiast, and certified “yes I talk to pets like they’re tiny hairy humans” person. 😄 I’ve had animals my whole life and have looked after pets with all sorts of medical needs. Giving meds? No problem. Special routines? I’m on it. Noticing when your pet is acting a little off? It’s basically my superpower. I’ve raised two puppies from 9 weeks old, so I know all about zoomies, chaos, snuggles, and the “why are you chewing that??” moments. I also adore senior pets — slow walks, soft voices, and gentle care are my jam. I’m pretty active, so if your dog wants adventures, I’m ready. If they prefer couch hangs and snacks… honestly, same. I work part‑time, which means I’ve got flexible availability on weekdays + weekends. I’m also open to overnight stays and weekend pet‑sitting if you need a little getaway. At home I’ve got two cats who are very chill with dogs as long as the dogs aren’t plotting to chase them. For everyone’s safety, I do ask that visiting pets are up to date on flea and tick prevention — gotta keep my furry roommates itch‑free. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and treated like family. Can’t wait to meet your furry sidekick! 🐶🐱💛 I am currently working part time and have open hours to support your pet(s) weekdays and weekends. I am open to over night stays and weekend work. I have 2 cats who are okay with dogs as long as they don't have a prey drive and chase. I would require the pets coming in to have updated flea and tick to protect my babies.
“Ayssa always send me pictures about my puppy and she is so nice that can accept him for extension time as I couldn't pick him on original booked time. I believe he must had a really good time with all her family member as he still look as much as happy before. Thank you so much!”
“Words can not justly express how grateful I am to Stephen and Holly. The care they provided Saul during my extended time away was beyond extraordinary. It was not an easy time with harsh winter conditions but they ensured Saul was provided several walks a day as well as regular visits to dog parks for him to run and play. Saul is full of energy and very playful for being 13 months old so I’m sure it wasn’t always easy to meet his demands yet Stephen and Holly did. They treated him like a member of their family. They always send pictures of Saul keeping me posted of his activities. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Saul and family members when he would be resting near and in the arms of their family. I have to say I believe Saul is missing them and their dog George his new adopted family. I would not think of ever leaving Saul with anybody other than Stephen and Holly. You will not be disappointed.”
“Archie and Delilah came home happy. Pamesha was sent photos and was a delight to speak to. We will definitely have them look after our dogs again. Thank you so much for welcoming Archie and Delilah into your home.”
“Deanna and Scott were great with my 12 year old anxious Shepherd, Pepper (this was her first time away from home). They kept me well updated on how she was doing. They accomodated us immediately when we needed an extra days' stay for Pepper.”

“Myriam was prompt, professional and a fantastic communicator. We’re grateful for her compassion and attention to detail when it came to caring for our 2 cats. We will absolutely be booking with Myriam again in the future! Thank you!”
About: I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications with detailed instruction’s. cleaning litter boxes and providing plenty of playtime, and affection. Safety is always my top priority.
“Kelly understood and took care of an elderly cat’s needs so well, including lots of medications. She sent lovely updates and photos so I got to see just how happy Mr Mae was. She was kind, professional and an all-round pleasure. Thanks so much Kelly!”
“Would absolutely book again. Kayleigh was very informative about our cats - their behaviour, habits, energy levels, etc. - through descriptions and pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort being away from them for so long.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for about seven years through cat sitting for neighbours, friends and family. Cats have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve had four of my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, giving affection (on their terms!), or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your cat like they’re one of my own.
“Jess offered us tremendous peace of mind during eight days away from home. She immediately bonded with our cats and we could tell from their expectations of us when we got home that she gave them oodles of play and attention. Jess was extremely communicative and helped us keep in touch with our three kitties on a daily basis.”
“Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊”
About: Absolutely! Here's the same question answered specifically from the perspective of an experienced **cat sitter**: --- I have over 5 years of experience as a cat sitter and currently have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the unique behaviours, needs, and personalities of feline companions. What sets me apart is my deep patience and intuitive approach to building trust with cats, especially those who are shy, territorial, or take time to warm up to new people. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who may need medication, special diets, or gentle handling. I’m confident with administering oral medications, grooming long-haired breeds, managing litter boxes, and providing enrichment through play and stimulation. I also have experience with multi-cat households and understand the importance of maintaining routines, respecting boundaries, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I keep pet parents updated with daily photos and detailed reports, and I always treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, respect, and a calm, reassuring presence.

About: I've been caring for small dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love giving them attention they deserve. I have experience with different small breeds and understand their unique needs and personalities. Friends, neighbors and family gave trusted me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their little pups, My goal is to make every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners away. I'm a stay-at-home mom with one toddler and a small Maltipoo, so I'm home most of the day with plenty of time to give your pup attention and care. My days are filled with playtime, walks, and cuddles, and I'd love to include your dog in our fun, loving routine. I'm also available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays. I have a safe, clean home and a friendly Maltipoo who loves other small dogs. Your pup will be part of a calm and loving family environment, getting plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved - just like they're at home.
“Leah was a wonderful pet sitter for Maple! She and her husband were very accommodating and attentive, making Maple's stay comfortable and fun! We were met outside with big smiles at a very early hour in the morning and our dog was happy and tired at the end of her stay with them. Thank you so much to you both!”
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
“I highly recommend this dog daycare! They are wonderful with my dog. They are also very quick to respond to messages, which I really appreciate. Communication is excellent, and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. I’m so happy with the care they provide and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog daycare!”
About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.
“Pamesha et son conjoint ont été extraordinaires avec notre Léo durant notre croisière dans les 1000 Islands. Ils ont été patients et attentionnés. De plus, j’ai reçu beaucoup de très belles photos, plus belles que celles que j’arrive à prendre de Léo moi-même! Encore un grand merci d’avoir pris soin de notre Léo, nous étions en complète confiance 🤩”
“Heather did a great job with Rigby. He was anxious to be away from us but she gave him the attention he needed and he rallied well. I really appreciated the interaction throughout the day. Highly recommend Heather if you need a pet carer.”
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”
“They were amazing! We got photo and video updates throughout the day of how our puppy was doing! He had so much fun playing with new friends and came home exhausted! We loved it so much we became regular clients!”
About: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised. I recently retired and I am looking for ways to stay active and dog walking is an activity that I enjoy. We currently have our own dog and he loves companions when appropriate. If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.
“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
“Great experience with Gabrielle. Easy drop-off and pickup. Chewie was happy and content each day. Gabrielle kept us notified each day of how he was doing including pictures. We were very pleased with his overall care and will definitely book with Gabrielle in the future when needed.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Walelign. Mimi was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the constant communication, we always received quick and thoughtful updates whenever we reached out. Mimi came back calm and happy, which means a lot to us. She is usually quite anxious around new people, but she didn’t show any signs of stress this time and didn’t cry at all. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable. Walelign truly went above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would absolutely trust him again and feel confident leaving Mimi in his care. Thank you so much!”
“Tammy came highly recommended by my brother who had nothing but amazing things to say about her and her care for his dog. I needed to book Tammy in a bit of a rush and she quickly responded to my last minute request. Her frequent updates and photos of my Mylo and Yenta let me feel at ease. I will be coming back to Tammy again as Mylo and Yenta had a blast. Thank you for your devoted care.”
About: For over 3 decades, I have been providing high quality care to extended fur family, as well as to those of our friends and neighbors who have been generous enough to lend me some of their pets' time. From big dogs to small dogs, young dogs to old dogs, our single-family detached home and fully fenced yard is sure to provide a warm and comfortable environment for your well-natured, and good-with-kids pup. I work from home 3 weekdays days out of 5, and can come home for lunch on those 2 days where I have to be in the office to let your pup out and provide food and water. Long walks, lots of fetch, and plenty of pictures are in store if you choose to trust our family with your fur babies. We have one family dog already, a 5-year old pug named George, who has shown himself to be very good with other dogs, both big and small. We take long walks around the neighborhood, stopping to say high to other dogs and their owners. We also occasionnaly go to the dog park Kingston East, or sometimes further afield for beach days or hikes on local trails or conservation areas. Our pug naturally sleeps on the bed with us (we couldn't stop him if we tried), so we'db be delighted to extend your dog the same courtesy. They'd become a part of the family.
About: Dear pawrents, I have taken care of dogs since I have memory. When I was born, a beautiful German shepherd was brought home and we grew up together, since then, my love for dogs (and all animals) is inexplicable. I have taken care of my own dogs (Belgian and German shepherd, lab, schnauzer, dachshund, mixed, etc.). I have taken care of senior dogs with different needs (medication, carrying them to walk, etc.) and some dogs with diseases such as chronic seizures, cancer and arthritis. As a pet owner myself, I totally get it! Our pets aren't just pets, they're family. And that's why I'm on a mission to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. I'm currently working in a remote (work from home) position, so I have availability to take care of your puppy/ies during the day. I’m available for boarding during the weekends with some breaks in between so I can take care of my own dogs. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets while respecting the routines and preferences set by the owners. Here's how I typically approach it: - Initial Consultation: I start by scheduling an initial consultation with the owners to discuss their dog's needs, routines, feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific instructions or preferences they may have. - Visits: During my visits, I ensure that the dogs have access to food, water, and a clean environment. I follow their feeding schedule and provide any necessary medications or supplements as instructed by the owners. - Exercise and Playtime: I engage the dogs in regular exercise and playtime sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could include walks, play sessions in the backyard, or games indoors (depending on the weather). - Potty Breaks: I take the dogs out for regular potty breaks according to their usual schedule, ensuring that they are comfortable and their living space remains clean. - Updates and Communication: Throughout my time with the dog(s), I maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. - Security and Safety: I take measures to ensure the security and safety of the home, such as checking that doors and windows are securely locked and being mindful of any potential hazards in the environment. Overall, my goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to dogs in their own familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
“Kirti was very pleasant to deal with. We really did appreciate her taking our pup last minute when we had plans come up. It was very obvious that Bo was having a terrific time with Kirti. He made himself at home on her bed and on her lap and the pictures and videos through out the day showed how well Kirti took care of him.”

About: I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications with detailed instruction’s. cleaning up accidents, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Safety is always my top priority. I work shift work, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during weekdays, evenings, and even late-night drop-ins. My schedule changes often, so I'm able to accommodate times that don't always work for traditional 9-5 sitters. I'm a proud dog mom of 2 myself, so I understand how stressful it can be trusting someone else with your pet. Because of that, I treat every animal as if they're my own. I'm very attentive, patient, and safety-focused, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, affection, and lots of supervision. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run around and burn off some energy if appropriate for their visit and a 2 year old lab who loves making new friends if yours needs some socialization with permission of course
About: Retired RVT with 20+ years of personal pet experience, including larger breed reactive dogs, and medically complex animals. My favorite pets to care for are the ones who take a little longer to come around and show their love! I work full time within Kingston, with a reliable vehicle to ensure local visits or visits outside town are timely and your pets are happy while you're away! I strive to spend at least an hour with all house calls, ensuring that your pet or pets feel comfortable and loved while you are away.
“Thomas has been such a great help with coming to walk Benson during the day as I’m working longer hours recently. Always great communication and fast replies, friendly and reliable. Would recommend if you and your pet are looking for help.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for my own dogs and cats for many years, while also fostering numerous animals with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I have experience supporting medically fragile pets, including administering insulin, inhalers, oral medications, and providing care for senior or incontinent animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra medical support, a calm environment, or simply lots of affection and attention, I’m committed to maintaining their routine and comfort every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. I'm very lucky to work remotely and can set up a workspace anywhere there's an internet connection. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks or visits anytime. I have a large yard and one big friendly dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets but is also good at giving space to those who need it. He's great at reading social queues from other pups and cats. I live on a quiet country road that makes for great walks. I tend to let our dog on our furniture but are fine to keep to your rules for furniture. In your home, I'll follow your set routine for your pets.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I grew up with five dogs, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including anxious pups who need extra patience and love. I’ve run my own dog walking business and have worked at two dog kennels (one of which I’m currently at) and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on pet care. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust visits and walks to fit your pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions and give plenty of love and patience (especially to anxious or shy pets) while always respecting your home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Maddy told me that Georgia was a little difficult at first but with Maddy's understanding, she saw what made Georgia more relaxed and took steps to calm her. She also did a fabulous job of grooming and when I picked Georgia up she looked beautiful and seemed very happy and content. Thank you so much for a wonderful job.”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I grew up with a small family dog as a young child in our family home, and took the leap into adulthood and dog ownership on my own! Porter is a 5.5 year old male neutered bernedoodle. He's super spoiled and rules the house :-) He loves having a playmate around so we thought we'd check out the Rover scene! We have experience looking after our neighbours dogs (Golden retrievers and a yellow lab). I have used Rover as a pet parent for help during vacations, etc. I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy that will follow instructions. We go on 4 walks a day - sometimes more with yard play thrown in. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to allow all the dog care! I'm familiar with medicating dogs, including allergy injections so I can assist with care like that if required. I'm guilty of taking so many pictures of my dog, especially when he has friends visit so please be comforted knowing you will get lots of updates! We live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim and loves pontoon boat rides, they will have one heck of a vacation :-) If you have multi dog family - I'm happy to host them all! Please - no cats. I currently work from home and have lots of time with my flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, enrichment, etc. Porter can adjust to anyone else's schedule to make it easier, or we can do solo walks if that would be your preference. I do not have a fenced yard, but we go on leashed walked at least 4x a day - plus more playtime. Porter is allowed on furniture, so your dog is as well! There are no separate rooms for dogs in my house. He used to be crate trained and so i am familiar with it and can crate your dog if you require it.
