“For our first time using Rover and leaving our pet with a sitter, Siobhan made this experience flawless. She was very kind in taking us last minute and assuring us by answering all our questions. We loved receiving daily updates and photos and seeing our boy practically smiling in his pictures. We will definitely re-book with her again!”
“Meagan took awesome care of our little Mille. Right from the moment we met Meagan and her family we knew Mille would love staying with them. We plan to have Meagan take care of our dog again.”
“Thanks Stephanie for taking such good care of our little Lexi. It was obvious by the videos you sent to us that she really enjoyed her stay with you. We are happy to know that we will have such a welcoming place to leave her in the future if the need arises. Anne & Jorg Seitz”

She has a remarkable family who kindly made Rocky feel right at home. So grateful for her putting us at ease during his first overnight visit. Rocky will definitely be returning.”

“Karen and Jorge were very easy to schedule a stay for my Yorkie Olly. They were interested in making sure he was safe and well cared for. The photos they sent were a very good indicator that Olly felt right at home. The environment is clean and safe and obviously full of love for my Olly. He came home tired from something in spite of the fact they are in an apartment. I will definitely request additional stays for Olly. Karen and Jorge are very kind and caring!! Thanks to them both….”
“Monique was beyond wonderful! She went above and beyond to ensure our new pup was safe, loved, and well taken care of. I felt completely comfortable with the thoughtful care Monique gave to our dog.

“Jade and Ryan are amazing! They took great care of our dog and are very attentive to his needs. They also made sure to send photo/video updates every day. Our dog felt right at home - highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I’m young my great grandma had a great love for animals and that made me fall in love of every animal! I do take care of them and also give al my love I’m currently working part time 3 times a week and I have plenty of time to give to others that might be a little bit busy during the week I’m very clean and organized, Don’t have pets on my own right now in Canada but my dogs that are 14 and 12 years old live in my home country
“Monica and her children were great with Nova. Nova got lots of attention and I got great updates and pictures regularly on how Nova was doing :) I will definitely rebook with her in the future”
About: I have attended and completed puppy training sessions for all of my 4 pets over the past 35 years. We have loved 2 Springer Spaniels and 2 Labrador Retrievers which are energetic breeds and love the outdoors. Outdoor walks, playtime puzzles and toys to keep doggies engaged and happy is the approach. Most of our family and friends have pets that we have looked after and boarded over the years. Looking forward to getting to know some new furry friends! I'm retired and have great flexibility in my schedule. I also intend to only focus on 1 pet at a time so they will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and love in a very quiet neighborhood with sidewalks providing safe walking. I'm also close to a sports park that also has a lovely path system and has the opportunity for socialization with other walkers. I'm happy to crate your pet if that is the option you are looking for when they are resting.
“Teena and Wayne were absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover before and were nervous because we have a senior dog, and usually we have a family member that watches our Norah for us. But at the last minute they had an emergency and we booked with Teena and Wayne. The whole experience was wonderful and they took care of our Norah like she was their own. Thanks again Teena and Wayne we will definitely be using you again in the near future!”
“Can’t thank Heather and Matthew enough for taking such great care of our dog Tucker. Tucker can be a bit anxious though he settled in nicely and had a great first visit! Booking again right away!”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”

“Luisa has been so great with walking our dog Chloe that we decided to try a drop-in booking. She listened to instructions clearly and Chloe had her dream date with Luisa. She fed her dinner, hung out and watched Bluey and even got a walk out of the deal - dream date. Luisa has been our go-to trusted dog sitter and we will continue to rebook with her.”
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.
“Jade was amazing! We booked her in last minute and she was great! She made the time to come meet our cats before her visits and was super responsive throughout the week. Would highly recommend if you need someone local.”
“We are so grateful to have found Sarah to watch our cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely timid and Sarah was very kind and patient with her - she's the only cat sitter that our girl has ever liked. We appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be hiring Sarah to watch our cats in the future.”
“Chelsea was wonderful with our kitties! She was immediately comfortable with them and even won over our grumpy cat. She took great care of both their individual needs, was very knowledgeable and prepared.”
“Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++”
“Emma and her husband did a wonderful job with our three cats. They made sure our babies were fed, had water and a clean litter box. Our trip was cut short but they were very understanding and adjusted the schedule. I highly recommend Emma and her husband if you need someone to not only take care of your pets but also give them some cuddles.”
“Marie was amazing. She took great care of our kitty and provided regular updates. It really allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our kitty was in good hands. Marie stayed in our home for 10 days while we were away and I can highly recommend her to take care of your pet! Thank you Marie!”
“Gillian was fantastic with our two cats, making sure they were well cared for while I was traveling for work. She did all the normal things like feeding them, changing water and cleaning litter, plus gave my one cat the energetic play time he needs. I would definitely book with Gillian again!”
“Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!”
“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”
“Nadia gave me full confidence and comfort for my big trip away from my senior cat. I had never tried any in home pet services like this before and with Nadia's direct and clear communications I'll certainly be doing this again. Im very thankful for her help. Nadia is highly recommended, shes trustworthy and confident.”
“Lise & Luwam did a great job looking after our cats while we were away! They sent photos of our cats having a great time and were communicative. We will certainly book them again.”

A safe and comfortable companionship will be provided.

“Great communication and very easy going. Instead of spending 6h in her crate, she spend it running around a yard with a new friend. We plan to use Siobhan again next time we plan a day trip.”
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our dog Apollo! This was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family and he loved it, but most importantly we were reassured that he was safe and doing well during the whole day. Stephanie sent us many videos and pictures of Apollo’s stay, which was amazing because we could see how much fun he was having! I will and already have booked multiple more doggy day care for Apollo with Stephanie and recommend anyone to do so too!”
“Frankie always has a great time at Naomi and Sam’s place and they go above and beyond to ensure she’s well cared for. They’re so down to earth. Frankie can’t wait for her next stay 🥰”
“Winnie’s second visit with Meagan was great! Meagan actually had another dog staying with her for part of the day this time and was still willing to accommodate us, but she had us come by first to meet the other dog. It was really nice to see how seriously she takes the safety and comfort of all the dogs in her care. She had great communication throughout, and Winnie came home tired from all the fun. Winnie can’t wait to visit again!”
“I’m so very pleased to have made a connection with Tammy. First, she was willing to meet and test herself for any allergic reaction to our Lexi. Thankfully there was none!! From the first moment we met Tammy and later her hsbd, I could see Lexi was super relaxed and at ease. Getting to know Tammy prior to arranging daycare was a pleasure. I appreciated all the questions, her eagerness to interact with Lexi, her manner of joy, gentleness and natural confident leadership while handling our girl. Our first dog-sitting went smoothly for everyone. There was excellent communication between us, I had 100% peace of mind while away and from photos Tammy shared, I could see Lexi was a very happy girl. I’m grateful to know that Tammy and Gord are people with whom we can trust and count on for future dog sitting and perhaps (hopefully!), overnight stays too ?? ?”
“Liz is a very kind and warm human. She bonded well with my little guy and took very good care of him. She was accommodating to my changing schedules which I was extremely grateful for. I would definitely recommend Liz and work with her again! Thanks, Liz !”
“You can tell Conner takes such pride in what he does. He is more than a pet sitter. His live and dedication shines through. He gives me peace of mind when I drop Barley off.”
“Monica provided excellent care to Sully and was extremely professional in assuring me that he would be watched carefully. I appreciated the meet and greet and her effort to drive to Welland to do so. She is a lovely person and takes great pride in offering the best care possible. We will see you again!”
“Jade was amazing!! We had a sitter booked 3 weeks prior and had a last minute cancellation… Jade took Teddy on with only one day notice and he had an absolute blast! This was the longest we’ve been away from him and it was so wonderful to receive pic updates throughout the day and see his happy face having so much fun!! (she also had another puppy that was teddys age and I’m so thankful she was so willing to take on both pups). When we came to pick up teddy the other pup was crying because teddy had to leave. I would highly recommend jade and we will absolutely be using her again in the future! She is our new top pic for a sitter on rover and we’re so thankful for her!! Thank you from the bottom to the top of our hearts Jade! ❤️❤️”

About: I've been caring for dogs for years — my own plus regular sitting for friends and family. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, from couch-potato seniors to high-energy pups who need a good run at the park across the street. I handle feeding routines, medications, and anxious dogs who need extra patience without a problem. Clean, attentive, and I treat every dog like they're my own. I work from home, so I’m always around the dogs. They are never left alone at home. So I can take them for walks and if your dog needs to be watched I am the guy for that I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. I have a big backyard right across from the park, so there's plenty of room for playtime plus easy walks. My dog is friendly with other animals, so your pup has a friend . Dogs stay on their usual feeding and walk schedule, and I'll send photo updates through the day so you know exactly how they're doing. Any special routines, quirks, or needs — just tell me upfront and I'll follow them exactly.

About: “The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.”- M.K.Clinton As far as I can remember, I don’t think I have spent a day without a dog in my life. Dogs have been an essential part of my being since I was a child. I’m an avid dog lover who just needs an excuse to be with a dog anytime of the day! :-) I have first hand experience in caring for dogs for the past 9 years. I love them with all my heart & I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure that your soulful furry pal is comfortable & cherished in my home. Their presence is a blessing in any life. I work from home which gives me full flexibility & freedom to be with my fur ball ( a super friendly Pomeranian) 24/7. Hence, your fur baby will have my constant attention & love all the time. My husband is my partner in care & we will make sure your paw some little one gets all the attention he needs and even more! I have all sorts of toys (for small dogs) to activate their little smart mind & give them ample amount of exercise for a healthy lifestyle. Kindly schedule a meet & greet before your pet's stay so he/she can sniffle around the new surroundings & give his/hers warm approval :-) I look forward to meet your fur companion! Unfortunately no home boarding available at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Your fur babies are like my own! Always treated with love & care. Unfortunately no home boarding available at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Your fur babies are like my own! Always treated with love & care.
“If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your dogs, I can’t recommend Ibifuro enough. She took my two dogs, Nugget (my French Bulldog) and Shylo, on very short notice after I reached out the night before, and I was so grateful she was able to help. From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is kind, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing they were with someone who treated them like her own gave me real peace of mind while I was away. When I picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s obvious that she goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Nugget and Shylo with her again, and I highly recommend Ibifuro to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and dependable dog sitter. She’s wonderful, and my dogs were in the best hands.”
“Monique is lovely, she was absolutely punctual both at pickup and drop-off, and has a great energy about her. I could tell Archie really liked her, and so did I. She sent me many updates throughout the day, my Archie had the time of his life with her. 12/10 would trust her with my pet again, and I definitely, absolutely and inequivocaly recommend her services. Amazing experience all around. I'll be forever grateful to her for taking such good care of my boy.”
“We were in NOTL for vacation and needed a dogsitter while we took an all day tour. Paula was most helpful in watching our Roxy while we were gone all day. She communicated frequently with us and gave us updates on how Roxy was doing. She even sent photos of Roxy snuggling with her. She obviously is a dog (and cat) lover. We would definitely use Paula again for our petsitting needs.”

“Did amazing with my girl Luna, she's absolutely accommodating and extremely caring when it comes to your pets going above and beyond to ensure that their needs are met. Luna is reactive and Luisa put attention to details to ensure the walk was both safe and enjoyable, not only for them, but for others around as well. I highly recommend her”
“This was the first time using a dog walking service . I can’t say enough about Karen and rover . Karen was amazing, sent pictures every day and kept us posted on the walks. I will definitely be using this service again!”
About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!
“This was our first time leaving our Benji alone for a week. We were feeling very unsure and anxious as to how to go about this. Our daughter was getting married in Mexico and everyone we knew would attend. A friend mentioned Rover and we investigated. But who to trust? After a few attempts, we noticed Jade with all her great reviews. It was the right decision! Jade was prompt, courteous, lovely with huge smiles. Most importantly, Benji warmed right up to her! We knew it then. Our worries faded quickly. Every day, twice, we were texted the time of walking, the map of the route, his activity and pictures. It made our week! Jade was so consistent and thorough, we vowed to give her a big SHOUT OUT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the assurance was greatly appreciated! :)”
About: I have experience taking care of Samoyed puppy (1 year old) for weeks at a time with around the clock care. This included walks very early in the morning to keep him out of the summer heat, feeding, brushing, entertaining, and a close careful eye as he would eat everything in sight. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is wide open. I typically get up early so I am able to do early morning walks and check-ins, as well as all throughout the day and into the evening. Spending time with dogs is my favourite way to spend the day! Since I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment, I would treat each dog like it was part of my own family, getting the highest amount of love and attention. I want to ensure each dog I care for is safe and has all of their needs met. I have lots of energy and can keep up with extremely active dogs!
“My boys LOVE Gillian. I have a foster dog who can be reactive. She is fantastic at managing him and he absolutely adores her. The second I say "Gillian" he rushes to the door to wait for her, tail wagging. My other boy is a senior dog who takes his time with things and can be a little indifferent, but he loves her too. Thank you so much, Gillian for always doing a fantastic job with my babies!!”
“Chelsea is reliable, trustworthy and just the person you want to rely on to take care of your pup. Thanks Chelsea, I have noticed a positive development in my pup just after 1 week of walks.”

I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.
“Malcolm is a fantastic dog walker! He's reliable, thoughtful and great with communication. Jiraiya loved him, and the adorable photo updates he sent were such a bonus — he has serious photography skills! He even adjusted a walk time to avoid the rain. Highly recommend 🐾 thank you Malcolm!!”
“Great experience with Connor! He was very reliable and able to cater to Milo’s needs (reactive on leash). He’s knowledgeable and clearly a big dog lover! Very happy overall.”
“Jacquie took amazing care of my dogs. Poppy had a bit of a leg drag, so Jacquie kept her off the pavement so it wouldn't hurt her nails dragging on pavement. I am so thrilled with the care my girls received. They LOVE her!!!!”

I am a retail store manager and I set my own schedule. The schedule is made one month in advance. I typically work 4-hour shifts in-store, plus I do some work from home, so I have lots of availability to visit and walk or play with your pet. I can provide overnight care any evenings of the week, but I require 7 days' notice for house-sitting bookings so that I can plan for my own pets' care while I am away from home. I am happy to learn and follow your pet's specific routines: walks, play sessions, yard time, meals, sleeping arrangements, veterinary visits, or special adventures. I am experienced walking dogs on harnesses, gentle leaders, and all collars: flat, martingale, chain, prong & tone/vibration. I will not use shock collars. I have a relaxed attitude and will never force your pet to accept petting or cuddles. I like to use treats as positive rewards, so be sure to let me know if your pet is allowed to have treats. I have lots of knowledge and experience preparing and feeding raw pet food and I am comfortable feeding chews and/or raw bones, if they are a part of your pet's diet.
About: Follow me on Instagram where you will see many animals I have cared for. Look up Niagara Pet Sitter My name is Monica. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and I love animals. I used to do nursing, but have since left the field and I am now studying as a distance student at Queen's University. I consider myself very responsible, affordable, and friendly. I have a lot of experience with animals. My mother is a dog trainer. My sister is a veterinary technician. In my life, I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, budgies, cockatiels, an Amazon parrot, canaries, conures, cats, and dogs. I work with all small animals, birds, fish, cats, and small to large dogs. I am offering daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, walking services, pet taxi services, and pet photography/ prints. My services involve one-on-one care, which gives your pet my full loving attention. I won't host multiple families. I will only keep a maximum of 2 dogs or 2 cats per family. Your dogs and cats can be safer and get more attention this way from myself and my children. This one-on-one experience allows your pet to have the most fun, feel the happiest, and be the safest. I also have a Pet First Aid Certification from St.John Ambulance. I will let you know even if your dog even has hiccups and send you many pictures of your pet throughout the day. Pet First Aide Kit on-site. Please contact me if interested and with any questions I am available through the week at any time. I was a former Nurse. I am trained as a RN but since have left the field and I am now a stay at home mom. I also am an online student who studies from home. There is a fence in my backyard. I also have a crate if needed and allowed with a comfortable bed. I have a dog gate in the living room when playing. Extra cleaning and damages will have an extra charge (ex. Diarreah, damage to property)
About: I've been a dog-lover and pet care provider for as long as I can remember, it's no wonder I decided to make a career out of it! I couldn't do it alone though... I hated the idea of leaving my own dog behind everyday, so I choose the dog-walking route to ensure she could come along to work with me! Together, we are a dynamic duo providing premium pet care! Our goal is to help you give your furry family members the exercise, socialisation, and routine they need to be their best and happiest selves – while providing you with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands (and paws). Whether you’re interested in our walking service, overnight pet sitting, or other special occasion care, we’ve got you covered! We ensure every experience is lead with love, fun, and lots of care. Dog walking and pet sitting services are offered daily until 6pm usually. I'm currently available to provide overnight pet sitting from approximately 7pm to 7am. Daytime care for overnight pets is also available to be booked as walks or drop-in services at their respective rates. This is my full time job, so I can be flexible. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding availability! I choose to provide overnight care in your home to ensure your pup is in the place that feels the safest and most comfortable. They get to stick to their routine and be surrounded by their own things, ensuring the least stressful experience during their time apart from you. Please keep in mind that my own dog (female, cockapoo) joins me for all overnight stays and most walking services or drop-ins, so your dog and you must be dog-friendly!
About: I am actively working as a veterinary assistant trained as a vet tech for the past 7 years. I previously worked in a pet rehabilitation facility where we helped pets recover from major surgery. I also completed a professional dog trainer certification through Canine Academy in Milton. I use a positive-reinforcement, reward based gentle approach for pet care and handling. Last year, I attended a workshop to learn low stress patient protocols for veterinary professionals and am fear free certified. I’ve even taught my dog to give consent for nail trims and trim his nails successfully every 2 weeks. I also have previously worked as a dog walker and daycare attendant. Recently I started offering in home nail trims for pets and would love to extend that support to drop in visits, pet sitting & medication/injection administration. I can monitor pets with medical needs closely and want to provide relief to pet parents who need support in any way. I’m here for you and your fur family and will accommodate each pets individual needs 💛 I work 4 days a week, evenings/weekends and Wednesdays I am off. While I am at work I have an hour break and can use that for drop in visits/let outs. I am a very detail oriented, clean person and will respect the space I am providing service in. I will clean up after your pets as I do with mine alike.

“Couldn't be happier with the care Connor gave to Atlas. He also sent amazing updates and so many great pictures. It was clear that Atlas was super well cared for and we're so grateful.”
“Karen and Jorge were very easy to schedule a stay for my Yorkie Olly. They were interested in making sure he was safe and well cared for. The photos they sent were a very good indicator that Olly felt right at home. The environment is clean and safe and obviously full of love for my Olly. He came home tired from something in spite of the fact they are in an apartment. I will definitely request additional stays for Olly. Karen and Jorge are very kind and caring!! Thanks to them both….”

About: I have attended and completed puppy training sessions for all of my 4 pets over the past 35 years. We have loved 2 Springer Spaniels and 2 Labrador Retrievers which are energetic breeds and love the outdoors. Outdoor walks, playtime puzzles and toys to keep doggies engaged and happy is the approach. Most of our family and friends have pets that we have looked after and boarded over the years. Looking forward to getting to know some new furry friends! I'm retired and have great flexibility in my schedule. I also intend to only focus on 1 pet at a time so they will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and love in a very quiet neighborhood with sidewalks providing safe walking. I'm also close to a sports park that also has a lovely path system and has the opportunity for socialization with other walkers. I'm happy to crate your pet if that is the option you are looking for when they are resting.
“Teena and Wayne were absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover before and were nervous because we have a senior dog, and usually we have a family member that watches our Norah for us. But at the last minute they had an emergency and we booked with Teena and Wayne. The whole experience was wonderful and they took care of our Norah like she was their own. Thanks again Teena and Wayne we will definitely be using you again in the near future!”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”

“Chelsea was wonderful with our two dogs. They came home happy and they seemed even more bonded to each other, which is amazing because on of them is a recent rescue. Chelsea is knowledgable about the needs of our rescue pups. I felt secure knowing they were in a good home, with attentive care while we were away.”
About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals.
