“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Rita, is absolutely amazing! She helped me with caring for my dog vastly. Penny, was well cared for during her stay. Rita was exceptionally kind and caring. Rita took picture updates of Penny through out her stay, which left me worry-free. When I arrived to pick up Penny, she was jovial and happy and Rita was so kind in giving us helpful treats to take with us. I cannot recommend Rita enough!”
About: I am a huge animal lover who’s been fostering dogs since 2019, and cats longer than that. My home is set up perfectly for temporary care, both short and long term, with crates and various sizes and leashes of different lengths all tucked away for when they’re needed. I’ve fostered dogs of all sizes, puppies as young as 2 weeks that were bottle fed around the clock, plenty of young puppies that I house trained, and seniors that required daily medication administered and even wound care. Despite often being surrounded by dogs, I’m still the type of person to point out dogs and call out “puppy!” when I drive by one. I can’t wait to welcome your furry friend to my home! I work 100% from home, so I’m basically always home during the week. Any weekend plans of mine tend to be made in advance, and are often made with other pet friendly people! I have a fully fenced yard and my own senior dog to keep yours company! I have crates and beds of various sizes if your dog is crate trained, and also don’t mind having an extra dog to snuggle with overnight if not. My house is fully puppy-proof, with gates separating most rooms and all cords either hidden or monitored. For cats who may not be comfortable with other animals or just needs their own space, I have a spare room that I often used for foster cats- this room has cat trees, beds, litter boxes and more to keep your kitty entertained.
“Hillary was great looking after Luna and it was a fantastic first time using this service. Communication was good with pictures sent each day. It was nice to see Luna having a fun time while in Hillary's care. We woukd definitely use her again.”
“Trudie was great with Penelope and kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how things were going while I was away. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Trudie again!”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Argento had a great time! It was so nice that you sent photos to show us how he was doing. He looked like he was smiling!! He got lots of walks and games of fetch - two of his favourite things. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“Sue is a very kind and caring person that loves dogs. She took very good care of my dog while I was away. I would gladly trust her to take care of my dog again without any reservations.”
“So lovely! Jinx had an amazing time with Alexis and her boy Milo. Alexis took extra care during a sensitive time for Jinx and truly went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for :)”
“Carol and family was a second home to Bauer! They took great care and we knew he was well looked after all weekend. We will definitely have Carol look after Bauer in the future without hesitation. Thank you so much!”
“Gudrun was able to accommodate our last minute request and was incredibly understanding of our unique situation. Our cat Tank was well cared for and loved. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay which made our separation easier. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend Gudrun without hesitation. Thank you for caring for our furbaby, Tank is planning a return visit later this year.”
“Kasia was absolutely amazing. Our pup stayed with her for over 2 weeks and we couldn’t be happier with how she took care of Rory. We will be using Kasias service in the future for sure. Thank you again for being such a great caregiver for our dog ☺️🙏❤️”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“I honestly can’t thank you and your family enough for welcoming Betty into your home and taking such great care of her while we were away. It was her first time being away from us for more than a few hours, so I was pretty nervous—but you made me feel so at ease. The updates and photos meant so much and really reassured me that she was settling in and doing great. It was clear she was happy, safe, and loved. You were so kind, professional, and easy to work with. If we ever need someone to look after Betty again, I’d be thrilled if she could stay with you—and I’d absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.”
“We had Coco stay over at Bradley twice and we were so happy with how he took care of Coco both times. He kept us well informed of coco’s activities during the stay and sent us pictures of him. He also made him eggs breakfast as we requested him so coco feels like home. I will look forward to have coco stay with Bradley in future as well and strongly recommend others to reach out to him if looking for dog boarding. Thank you Bradley for taking care of coco on New years eve and day as we got a chance to step out to celebrate new years eve.”
“Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!”

“Appreciated Dannie’s ability to work around my changing schedule. Dannie was terrific in responding to messages and coming out to meet the crew and go over their routines and various aspects of the house. Dannie was also terrific with the 3 cats and sent me photos and updates. They are indoor outdoor cats and she managed that well plus keeping the bird feeder topped up. Washing was done before I arrived home to a home cooked meal and some lovely flowers. I would highly recommend Dannie. A responsible and caring sitter. You will feel comfortable and confident leaving her to be in charge.”
About: Hi there, My name is Alexis, and I am an Elementary School Teacher, looking for a side gig to make some extra money working with animals! For my entire life, I have had personal experience caring for and walking dogs as I have always had at least one or two of my own at home. I have had 10 years of experience dog walking, and pet sitting here and there for friends, family and neighbours. I currently have a border collie x Labrador retriever mix, and I have had many others dogs including smaller dogs in the past. I love dogs of any breed and size and am able to work with more than one at a time for those with more than one dog in the family. I have had experience training my own dogs throughout my life for puppy age, as well as have worked with senior dogs as well. I love dogs and pets of any kind, and hopefully, look forward to meeting your furry friends. Connect with me if you are interested or have any questions, text, call or email me. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am currently working full time as a teacher from 9-3:30 Monday - Friday. So I am available in the early morning or early and later evening. I am also available on the weekends and holidays. For dog boarding, I can take dogs for longer stays, they would sometimes just have longer days at home without a human. 8 hours max. I have a fenced in yard and a lovey border collie at home to keep your furry friend company. I can offer crating, treats and adventures when your dog stays with me. Your dog would get walks depending on their physical needs and a solid routine with consistent feeding times and exercise.

“Our dogs love their time with Victoria! She is so kind and caring, always providing the best level of care! She always sends a text when shes on her way and updates after with pictures! Highly recommend”
About: I have owned animals since I was a kid. I just recently had my dog pass away and I am very keen on looking after your fur baby like they were my own! My passion is to work with animals. I currently live in an apartment so I’m looking for dog walks or dog sits but once I have a house I will be open to boarding!! As long as your dog gets along with other animals I will be able to allow them in my home ☺️ I do live in an apartment but constantly go outside as I have a dog of my own. I also go on trail walks around the area and can take them to the dog park if allowed.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, always taking responsibility for their care and needs. My cat, Jiggyman (I know weird) is 16 years old and has been the best cat I could ask for. I love my pets and I miss being around animals, I am happiest when I see a pet! I am currently working virtually, so I am available all day for pet boarding. I can also take breaks from work to walk pets, and I am free after 4pm most days to walk dogs. My schedule does not change and I am free on weekends. I am home all day to care for and hangout with your pet. I love talking to them and taking them for walks, making sure they are very happy. I am also happiest around animals and I can't wait to get one of my own! For now, I think caring for other pets is exactly what I need.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That role taught me the importance of routine, safety, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and happy. By profession, I’m currently a teacher, which means patience, responsibility, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of what I do every day. I’m used to being trusted with what matters most to people, and I bring that same level of care and accountability to looking after pets. Until recently, I was the proud owner of a Siberian Husky who lived an incredible life right up to the age of 13. Caring for him through all stages of life — from high-energy younger years to senior care — gave me deep experience with exercise needs, mental stimulation, grooming, and adapting routines as pets age. He was truly family, and his long, happy life means the world to me. I work as a teacher therefore have a set schedule, get home at a reasonable time, and can easily predict when I am available for your pets! I live in a house, drive, and am flexible with how I can support your pets while you are away. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

About: Outside of family pets growing up, I've had my own pet cats for 14 years (one of whom I called my problem child as he was prone to bladder infections and UTIs.. I got very good at giving him meds even though he absolutely hated it)
About: I’ve always had a dog in the family and now I own my own; Kai and Sadie! I also have my 2 cats Stan and Frankie! I am a teacher who is off weekends, holidays and the summer and looking for some furry friends to keep me busy for the summer! I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I am available almost all weekdays this summer and some weekends as well! Please reach out to discuss availability as I am very flexible and I am sure we could work something out :)! Since I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of my own I am quite comfortable managing them in whichever way you need whether it’s crates, pet carriers, bathing, medicating etc!

“As my first Rover experience, Tabitha surpassed every expectation and made the whole experience feel like Tazzy was visiting family. With my permission, Tazzy had another puppy play date in Tabitha's home, and as a result came back to us exhausted and very happy. As a nervous puppy Mom, her messages and photos were so calming. Huge thank you to Tabitha for this wonderful experience. I recommend Tabitha 100%.”
“This was my first time leaning my dogs with Rita for the day. She was very caring and patient with them and also sent me their pictures and a video which put me at ease. Thanks again Rita!”
“My dog Harley's experience with Diana has been great. He has had a great deal of separation anxiety over the past six months but he is happy when we get to her home. Diana is very affectionate with Harley, as is her young daughter. Harley is very comfortable in their home now and I know he is being loved and taken good care of. Thank you for taking such great care of Harley!”

I work from home and mostly available weekdays and weekends. Your dog will get my undivided attention and his safety is my top most priority I have a very big fenced yard and my dog will be there to accompany and play with your dog.

“I’m pleased with the care shown to my furry friend during his stay with Sayali and family. I received picture updates throughout the day, which was greatly appreciated. He appeared happy and had other friends to play with. Thank you”
“I’ve rebooked with Jen multiple times for daycare and overnight stays. I’m someone who’s chronically anxious about leaving my pooch with someone new, but never with her! She’s so good at always sending updates and pictures on how the stay is going. Goose loves going to her place and hanging out with her family or playing with her dog! I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
“Shakira took such great care of my puppy! She gave tons of love, and kept me updated with cute pics. My pup was happy and well taken care of the whole time. When Bruce came home he was sweet and sleepy boy! Definitely will be coming back to Shakira for future dog care!”
“Nayeli was amazing with our little fur baby. He had lots of fun and eat well. I will definitely be booking with Nayeli again. Nayeli provided pictures and updates of our little one. She is awesome”
About: Caring for dogs is more than a task—it’s a joy, a responsibility, and a love I carry in my heart every day. I understand that dogs are not just pets—they are family, companions, and a source of unconditional love. Leaving them behind can be hard, and that’s why I dedicate myself to making every dog feel safe, cherished, and truly at home. In our home, your dog will never feel alone. With me and my two boys, Evan and Aram, your dog will be welcomed with warmth, gentle attention, and endless love. My boys adore animals, and together we create a home full of laughter, play, and tender care where every dog feels seen, valued, and comforted. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs: • 🐶 Puppies – guiding them gently, building trust, helping with routines, and celebrating every small milestone • 🐕 Adult dogs – keeping walks, meals, and playtime consistent, while giving them attention, companionship, and mental stimulation • 🐾 Senior dogs – providing slow, loving care, cozy rest, and gentle support to make every moment comfortable and reassuring What truly sets me apart is the heart and family environment I offer. Your dog will not simply be watched—they will be included in our lives, treated like a beloved member of the family. I focus on: • Listening to their needs, understanding their moods, and giving love in exactly the way they need it • Following their daily routines to provide consistency and comfort • Creating a calm, safe space where they can be happy, relaxed, and loved • Offering endless cuddles, play, and bonding moments Our home is designed for your dog’s happiness and safety: • A large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, explore, and play freely • Indoor comfort where dogs are always welcome on furniture and beds, giving them warmth and closeness • A loving, family environment filled with patience, attention, and understanding I know leaving your dog in someone else’s care is a leap of trust. That’s why I promise to care for them as if they were my own—giving them love, safety, and comfort in every single moment. Because to me, this isn’t just dog sitting… it’s creating a second home where tails wag, hearts feel safe, and your dog knows they are deeply loved. ❤️ ✨ Where every bark is cherished, every cuddle is returned, and every dog feels like family. ✨ Pets thrive on love, attention, and consistency—and that’s exactly what I provide every day. In our home, caring for your furry family members is seamlessly woven into our daily routine, so they always feel safe, happy, and loved. A typical day with your pet includes: • Morning cuddles & care: Greeting pets with love, feeding, and letting them stretch and play after waking • Playtime & exercise: Dogs enjoy walks in the yard or around the neighborhood, while cats get cozy play sessions or window-watching time • Quiet & rest periods: Calm, peaceful time for napping, grooming, or simply feeling safe and comfortable • Attention & bonding: Evan and Aram love spending time with pets, giving gentle hugs, brushing fur, or playing interactive games • Meals & health check: Following your pet’s feeding schedule, keeping litter boxes fresh, and checking for any signs of discomfort or illness • Evening relaxation: Cozy snuggles, calm interaction, and pets are always welcome on furniture or beds for comfort and security I adjust our routine to fit your pet’s specific needs, so they feel at home whether they’re active, playful, or need extra calm time. Consistency, patience, and gentle attention are at the heart of every day. Because to me, pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s part of our family life, and your pet becomes part of it too. ❤️ The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. I understand that leaving your furry family members behind can be stressful, so I create an environment where they feel safe, loved, and completely at home—whether in my home or theirs. In our home, pets enjoy: • A large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and explore safely • Plenty of indoor space to relax and feel secure • Freedom to be themselves—cats and dogs are welcome on furniture and beds, just like they are at home • Gentle supervision and attention from me and my boys, Evan and Aram, who adore animals and help create a warm, caring environment I also focus on trust and routine: • Following your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, naps, and playtime • Keeping their environment calm and stress-free • Monitoring health and well-being closely, and reporting any concerns promptly • Using positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance with all pets When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as respectfully as my own. I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable space while maintaining routines and leaving your home exactly as I found it. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s about creating a place where your pet feels safe, loved, and happy, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️
“We frequently rebook with Angela :) Blue loves her and the whole family. She always sends photo/video updates and has been really flexible with my on/off work schedule. Would recommend Angela with no hesitation:)”
About: Hi there! I'm Emma. Past Husky owner, current poodle parent, and lover of all animals. My partner Dean and I are both fun, loving and energetic people. We loved to go for our 4 daily walks every day with our pup Isla, and we would love to have that opportunity again with your dog. Dean and I are both very well experienced with animals, both having owned multiple dogs and other animals from a young age and all throughout our lives. We fall in love with every pup we meet! Our home will be the perfect place for your pup to stay. If you have any questions/requests I'd be glad to help you out. I hope to hear from you soon!! I currently work from home part time. Your pup would be in my presence for the entirety of their stay! :) Ruby and Honey, our toy-poodles, would also love to keep your pup company. We currently live in a 4 bedroom 3-storey home, we walk the dogs in the neighbourhood and throughout Orchard Park. 3-4 daily walks are normal for us!
“My dog had a second day of daycare with Alexandria. When we arrived for drop-off, he did an excited little spin and couldn’t wait to go inside! At pick-up, he was happy and tired. He immediately zonked out when we got home. Alexandria is super reliable and responsive as a sitter and such a lovely person. Highly recommend. Thanks again!”
“My first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Smita was very reassuring with video/pic and text updates and my girls were genuinely happy in the videos. We did a day care day as a trial for my upcoming trip and I have to say I feel very at ease leaving my little ladies with Smita and her husband!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I believe every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. My home is a calm and pet-friendly space, and I treat every dog that visits like family. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, which is why I make communication a top priority. I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. As a full-time stay-at-home wife, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to care for your pup. Whether it’s a midday walk, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m here to help. I’m home most of the time, which means your dog will get lots of attention, interaction, and supervision—no long stretches alone. We have a friendly puppy of our own who loves to make new doggy friends! It’s a great environment for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing with others. I keep a calm, structured home where pets can feel safe and loved, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific routine or needs. Because I’m always nearby, I can give frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide quick responses and regular photo updates to keep you in the loop. My goal is to make you and your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible! I live in an house and go for daily walks, I also go across the road to a fairground to let my pup run around when we aren’t playing in our backyard!
“Bee had lots of fun with Avijeet and Leo! Avijeet's dog Leo was very friendly and respectful, but energetic and playful enough to tire Bee out throughout the day. Bee came home happy and sleepy and she clearly enjoyed her time there. Thanks Avijeet!”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

“Raquelle saved me on a holiday weekend by agreeing to walk my dog and feed her dinner when I was out of town for a few hours. She responded right away and was very communicative and easy to plan with. She left a great update on how things went and I can see from the pictures she took that my somewhat timid puppy had a fun walk with her :)”
“Rita was so amazing with my little dachshund. She is very calm and has a beautiful energy. She is very responsive and made me feel that my dog was always in good hands. We recently moved and miss her very much!”
About: Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I love dogs. But on Rover, loving dogs should be a given, not the whole qualification. To truly love a dog is to understand them. That’s why I’ve spent the last five years deeply researching canine health and behaviour, from force-free positive reinforcement and reading body language to recognizing the early signs of bloat (GDV) and understanding the dangers of heat stroke and paw burns. I specialize in providing tailored, focused, and intelligent care. I only walk up to two dogs at a time, and only if they are from the same household. I don't do multi-family group walks because your dog deserves my 100% undivided attention. Whether I'm managing a reactive pup by reading a sidewalk before it goes sideways, or letting a senior dog enjoy a slow, mentally enriching "sniffy walk," your goofball is in good hands. My current availability is kept strictly up-to-date in my Rover calendar, offering flexible options for mid-day dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I structure my daily routine to ensure I am never rushing between clients, I am able to offer reliable, punctual care that fits seamlessly into your dog's normal schedule. If you have a specific time slot you don't see listed, feel free to reach out and ask! Safety isn't a formality, it's the priority. Every single new client gets a free, mandatory Meet & Greet before we book a single service. No exceptions. This isn’t a formality; it’s a vital safety step where I learn your dog’s specific quirks, triggers, and medical history so I can do right by them. When caring for your dog in your home or neighbourhood, I treat their safety as a science. I understand how to proactively reduce the risks of bloat, I am hyper-aware of weather-related distress like heat stroke, and I use only positive, force-free handling methods. I am exactly the kind of dog walker I used to search for but could never find: someone who lets a dog be their silly self, while taking their safety with absolute seriousness. Please note that for safety and wellness reasons, I do not walk dogs on prong, choke, or shock collars. If this is your dog’s current equipment, please still reach out! I understand large, strong, and reactive breeds intimately, I have two of my own. It took time and patience, but we successfully transitioned to harnesses. If you are open to it, I am more than happy to discuss safe, effective, force-free alternatives that will keep your dog happy and secure on our walks.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds and fish. I have a very safe, clean, calm and loving home to take care for your fur baby. I am currently working afternoons but at home in the morning and night. I am also available most weekends 24 hours a day to provide loving care. I have a large house in a quiet neighbourhood. The property has a big fenced in yard where your fur baby is safe and can freely roam.
About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.
“Haley is great with my two notoriously difficult-to-work-with breed puppies. She communicates thoroughly, and is open to helping us find solutions for challenging walkers. I feel she has a genuine bond with my puppies, and I feel they are in good hands with her. Haley is wonderful to have come to your home! She is always respectful of our space, and I trust her there when I’m away. Overall, I completely recommend.”
“Victoria was a great and reliable walker for my Bernese Mountain Dog while I was away on vacation. She was very prompt for her arrival times and always shared pictures and a well written summary of each walk which was above my expectations! It had us feeling like she wasn't too far away from us the entire trip. I'd highly recommend her for your dog walking needs.”
About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.
About: Hi, i’m Rayne and am looking to start dog walking again I am excited to meet some new furry faces! i’ve been a lover of all animals since before I can even remember! I have a huge passion for working with all kinds of animals. Up to now I have taken care of every kind of breed of dog I can think of. I myself have cane corsos of my own, as well as the best cat i could have asked for. I love being around animals of all kinds! I have open availability and am able to watch/walk your animals at anytime, with great and negotiable rates. If you have any questions or concern please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for taking some time to get to know me :) I currently am unemployed at the moment so I am able to walk or watch your dog whenever is needed, I have a very open availability! I like to take the dogs for long walks or like to go to fields nearby so they can run off leash for a little bit and go wild (if owners permit me doing so), or also throw balls and other canine friendly toys. For pet sitting cats, i’ve never met a cat that didn’t make me their new best friend sooner or later. Feeding and additional care is never an issue but of course feel free for any specific requests on feeding and caring for your pets!
About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!
About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.
About: I’ve always had a dog in the family and now I own my own; Kai and Sadie! I also have my 2 cats Stan and Frankie! I am a teacher who is off weekends, holidays and the summer and looking for some furry friends to keep me busy for the summer! I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I am available almost all weekdays this summer and some weekends as well! Please reach out to discuss availability as I am very flexible and I am sure we could work something out :)! Since I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of my own I am quite comfortable managing them in whichever way you need whether it’s crates, pet carriers, bathing, medicating etc!
About: ive always had dogs in my life and understand the importance of proper excersise to keep your pup regulated and happy. I would love to help keep your furry friend happy and healthy! I am fresh off of mat leave and looking to fill my days while my girls are at school and daycare. I have flexible schedules I ensure one on one care and am very tentative to each dogs individual needs and will tailor a plan around your preferences and requirements
About: I've had dogs all my life honestly. Big and small. I'm also the friend everyone goes to when they need helpnwith their dog. I have experience with breeds from chihuahuas to huskies. I currently have a very flexible schedule as inonly work part time. I am gone every other weekend tho. I'd be able to accommodate almost any schedule. I'd be following any given instructions for the dogs home and would keep them in the routine. Comfortable happyband loved. Your dog would also have a playmate with mine if friendly for park dates so they wouldn't be inside all day long.
About: Hi, My name is Lisa! :) Animals have always had such a special spot in my heart. Their innocence, loyalty and friendship is truly such a gift to us as humans. Being raised with multiple Golden Retrievers since I was 11 years old has taught me a lot about doggies. I have been around the puppy stage many times and I know that not only are they adorable but they do require babysitting and lots of attention. My own dogs, as well as others, have become seniors and I am aware of how delicate that season of their life is too. I am extra attentive to animals needs and am often the one in a group that over makes sure the dog has enough water, that they are up to date on eating and that their needs have been met. Snuggle time is also a bonus :) I can assure you that you won't need to worry at all if your fur-family member is being cared for when you are away! I have a family Golden Retriever. Although I am back and forth from my parents place, seeing him, spending time with him and being there for him is a pleasure! I am more than willing to come and stay at my clients homes while they are away to fursit! Whether its walks, runs, or special care that is needed for their loved one, I would love to be able to provide that for them.
“Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk. Put my mind at ease while away that he was getting exercise. Would definitely recommend Walter to anyone looking for pet care. Very satisfied.”

“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
About: I am a huge animal lover who’s been fostering dogs since 2019, and cats longer than that. My home is set up perfectly for temporary care, both short and long term, with crates and various sizes and leashes of different lengths all tucked away for when they’re needed. I’ve fostered dogs of all sizes, puppies as young as 2 weeks that were bottle fed around the clock, plenty of young puppies that I house trained, and seniors that required daily medication administered and even wound care. Despite often being surrounded by dogs, I’m still the type of person to point out dogs and call out “puppy!” when I drive by one. I can’t wait to welcome your furry friend to my home! I work 100% from home, so I’m basically always home during the week. Any weekend plans of mine tend to be made in advance, and are often made with other pet friendly people! I have a fully fenced yard and my own senior dog to keep yours company! I have crates and beds of various sizes if your dog is crate trained, and also don’t mind having an extra dog to snuggle with overnight if not. My house is fully puppy-proof, with gates separating most rooms and all cords either hidden or monitored. For cats who may not be comfortable with other animals or just needs their own space, I have a spare room that I often used for foster cats- this room has cat trees, beds, litter boxes and more to keep your kitty entertained.
“Hillary was great looking after Luna and it was a fantastic first time using this service. Communication was good with pictures sent each day. It was nice to see Luna having a fun time while in Hillary's care. We woukd definitely use her again.”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Argento had a great time! It was so nice that you sent photos to show us how he was doing. He looked like he was smiling!! He got lots of walks and games of fetch - two of his favourite things. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“Sue is a very kind and caring person that loves dogs. She took very good care of my dog while I was away. I would gladly trust her to take care of my dog again without any reservations.”
“So lovely! Jinx had an amazing time with Alexis and her boy Milo. Alexis took extra care during a sensitive time for Jinx and truly went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for :)”
“Kasia was absolutely amazing. Our pup stayed with her for over 2 weeks and we couldn’t be happier with how she took care of Rory. We will be using Kasias service in the future for sure. Thank you again for being such a great caregiver for our dog ☺️🙏❤️”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“I honestly can’t thank you and your family enough for welcoming Betty into your home and taking such great care of her while we were away. It was her first time being away from us for more than a few hours, so I was pretty nervous—but you made me feel so at ease. The updates and photos meant so much and really reassured me that she was settling in and doing great. It was clear she was happy, safe, and loved. You were so kind, professional, and easy to work with. If we ever need someone to look after Betty again, I’d be thrilled if she could stay with you—and I’d absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.”
“We had Coco stay over at Bradley twice and we were so happy with how he took care of Coco both times. He kept us well informed of coco’s activities during the stay and sent us pictures of him. He also made him eggs breakfast as we requested him so coco feels like home. I will look forward to have coco stay with Bradley in future as well and strongly recommend others to reach out to him if looking for dog boarding. Thank you Bradley for taking care of coco on New years eve and day as we got a chance to step out to celebrate new years eve.”
“Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!”
“Absolutely amazing, gave updates on my dog during his time with them. Sent pictures and videos of how well my dog was doing during his stay with them, will definitely be bringing my dog back there🥰 highly recommend, very very nice people 😊”
About: Caring for dogs is more than a task—it’s a joy, a responsibility, and a love I carry in my heart every day.

“I can't thank William enough for taking such wonderful care of my 12 week old puppy! Leaving her for the first time was incredibly nerve-wracking, especially at such a young and vulnerable age, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bring her with me. From the start, William was kind, professional, and reassuring. Throughout the day, I received thoughtful updates and photos that completely eased my anxiety. It was clear my pup was safe, happy, and well looked after. Knowing she was in such capable, caring hands made all the difference. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind and will absolutely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend to any pet parent—especially those with young puppies!”
