“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Cindy made us feel very comfortable with leaving our girl with her. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we picked Cindy. She has excellent communication skills and made sure to send pictures throughout Maple’s stay. We will absolutely take Maple back to Cindy’s next time we are going away.”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Aditya and Ipshita were everything we could ask for and then some. They cared for our dog like a beloved family member and kept us posted throughout his stay. This is the first time we've truly felt comfortable with the care of our dog and I will use them again without hesitation. Thanks Aditya and Ipshita.”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“What can I say about Geo & Amanda? A wo perfume place to have your pet (s) stay. They are so easy going and accommodating. They relieved any stress I could have had about leaving my pups while I was off getting married. Lots of communication and pictures sent to add to my comfort. What a great pair and what agreat team to take care of the pups. Thank you both!”
“Dale has looked after my golden doodle Dani many times.This time for a week while I went on a ski trip. She is totally reliable and trustworthy. She is gentle and kind and clearly loves Dani!”
“We were incredibly fortunate to find Emilie & Vitaly to take care of Sadie while we were away for the week. From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. We would highly recommend Emilie & Vitaly and their children to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sadie!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“This is our 4th time using Sheila's services. Riley gets so excited each time she gets to stay. It feels like a home away from home for her. We always know Riley is loved and well cared for. No hesitation in rebooking.”
“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

“Natalie was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She was wonderful with our cat, Ellie Rose Princess, and it was clear she was very well cared for and got lots of attention. We came home to an immaculate house, which was such a nice bonus. Natalie went above and beyond, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Ellie Rose Princess and our home were in such good hands. We would absolutely use Natalie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I’m experienced with cats young and old. I’ve fostered cats and kittens up to 4 at once before. I will provide a separate room for your kitty with a cat bed and cat tree, a BUNCH of cat toys, window, litter box, food bowl and water. I will check on your kitty periodically throughout the day providing pets, scratches, cuddles, and just making sure they still have everything they need and are doing well!
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats’ unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors, and know how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and providing cozy spaces where cats feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, energy, and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. With my flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, I can give your cat plenty of attention, play, and companionship. Your cat will be cared for with the same warmth and devotion I gave my own feline friends, making them feel happy and comfortable in my care. 🐾
About: 🐱 About Me: Patient, Attentive Care for Your Feline Friends! Hi, I'm Natasha! As any cat lover knows, kitties rule the house, and they all have completely unique personalities. Some are social butterflies who crave chin scratches and laser pointer chases, while others prefer to observe you from a safe distance atop a bookshelf. My approach to cat care is entirely relationship-based and patient. I never force interaction; instead, I let your cat set the pace, earning their trust through quiet observation, respect for their boundaries, and sticking strictly to their established routines. What a Typical Visit Looks Like: Fresh Food & Water: Strict adherence to your feeding schedule (wet food prep, exact measurements, or specific medication schedules). I always wash bowls and refresh water fountains or dishes. Meticulous Litter Box Maintenance: A clean box keeps cats happy and healthy. I scoop thoroughly during every single visit and keep the surrounding area tidy. Enrichment & Play: If your cat is playful, I’m ready with the feather wand, crinkle balls, or laser pointer. If they love mental stimulation, I'm happy to set up treat puzzles. Quality Companionship: For shy or independent cats, I’m perfectly content sitting quietly on the floor, reading a book or working, just offering calm company so they don't feel entirely alone. The "Headcount" Rule: I never leave a visit without physically spotting your cat to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and accounted for—even if they are a master of hiding!
“Ashley was absolutely excellent in looking after our cat Gracie! She came round for a house visit and was very diligent in ensuring she had all the info she needed to do a great. Gracie did have some medical issues and Ashley was awesome at giving meds and checking in with us frequently. Would highly recommend!! We got on so well Ashley will be coming back to house sit and pet sit this summer!”
About: I currently have 5 cats that I adore and spoil. I have a lot of experience in taking care of cats from feeding, cleaning litterboxes, play time and even administering medications. I treat all furbabies like they are my children.
“Kristie was wonderful with our cats. They were comfortable with her right from the first meeting. Kristie responded quickly to messages and questions and sent updates and photos with each visit.”
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!
“Keri was amazing ! She checked in on our cat, Blue, while we were away. Cleaned the litter, water, food and played with her for the full time ! Left our place secure, clean, and gave our fur baby lots of attention and love ! She was even kind enough to show her appreciation by leaving Blue and ourselves a little thank-you. She went above and beyond - and built great trust and relationship with us and Blue. Would re-book in a heart beat ! Would highly recommend ! Thank you Keri !”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs!

About: I do some boarding and dog sits at your home. But if you are working full time and need walks for your dog this summer- we got you! My daughter and I can make it work, if you are in Stayner. For this summer my 15 year old daughter is assisting me with dog walks, to increase how many clients I can help. We have years of experience loving and walking dogs! If you are looking for doggie day care, you may fit in with us Tuesday-Thursday. My two dogs are 12+ years old and love sleeping while I'm working away. For someone who needs a visit to their home to care for your dog/cat, I'm careful to respect your home and privacy, and I can send you pictures of your dog at each visit, if you'd like.
“Cindy is very accommodating and loving towards our baby. Her home is conducive to dog sitting. Free of clutter and very clean and organized. Maui feels at home whenever she is in Cindy’s care. She also gets to play with both Max and Josie, Cindy’s cute fur babies. She sends us photos of Maui every time and gves updates. We recommend Cindy, without hesitation.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! We booked our pup, Sobey, in for a full day of daycare and she absolutely loved it! From play time with Molly, to a duo walk, to snuggles inside, Sobey was extremely well taken care of and had the best day! Michelle was quick to respond to messages, extremely accommodating and sent us videos and pictures throughout the day of Sobey and Molly’s adventures! Michelle truly cares about what she does and made Sobey feel at home right away. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Michelle and Molly 🥰”
“Luna returned to Rieko and John’s care for a second time now. Luna loved her time there and had lots of fun on walks, snuggling, and asking for belly rubs! Luna even got to try some homemade pumpkin seed treats!”
“She is super sweet and has a great house w a great neighborhood. She sent greatupdates- those are never enough hhaha The girls are very sensitive to cold so Deborah sent me a video of them cuddled up by the fireplace which was so nice. Would use again”
About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

“Thanks Angi for taking care of our dog Lily. Angi is very fast to respond to request for day care and to all of our other questions. Angi took great care of Lily. We were feeling very confident knowing Lily is in good hands, so we can spend some time in Collingwood and Blue Mountain doing activities where dogs are not allowed. I would highly recommend Angi dog care services! Thank you Angi!”
“Carley was amazing! From the moment I met her, I didn't worry one bit about our dog being in her care. She was responsible, communicative, flexible and you could tell our dog enjoyed his stay. She did everything to make sure he felt safe, assured and gave him lots of love. I would highly recommend her services!”

I currently have two friendly Rhodesian Ridgebacks who keep life fun! I make sure my two big pups are fed, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of love every day. We go for a walk every day too. If I’m looking after your pup, they’ll fit right into that routine and be treated like one of my own. When I’m out, I can section off part of the house to keep them safe and comfortable, or use a crate if that’s what they’re used to. I’m flexible and happy to do whatever makes them feel most at home. I’m available for dog boarding in my own home and dog walking in your neighborhood. Whether your dog is high-energy or low-energy, I can accommodate either :). I’m comfortable with: Pullers or leash-reactive dogs Dogs with specific routines or routes Puppies learning how to walk on leash Walks in all weather (unless you prefer otherwise!) I focus on safety, patience, and giving your dog quality time to sniff, explore, and stretch their legs. You’ll receive updates and photos!
About: I do some boarding and dog sits at your home. But if you are working full time and need walks for your dog this summer- we got you! My daughter and I can make it work, if you are in Stayner. For this summer my 15 year old daughter is assisting me with dog walks, to increase how many clients I can help. We have years of experience loving and walking dogs! If you are looking for doggie day care, you may fit in with us Tuesday-Thursday. My two dogs are 12+ years old and love sleeping while I'm working away. For someone who needs a visit to their home to care for your dog/cat, I'm careful to respect your home and privacy, and I can send you pictures of your dog at each visit, if you'd like.
“Cindy was fantastic! From the moment we met her we knew she was going to be great! We felt very comfortable having her walk Bauer while we were away! Thank you so much!!”
About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.
About: Reliability & Responsibility: I arrives on time, follows specific feeding/medication schedules, and ensures the home is secure. Proactive Communication: I love to send daily updates, including photos and videos of walks or meals. Pet Health Knowledge: I understands basic dog body language, recognizes signs of stress or illness, and has experience with pet first aid. Safety-Conscious: I know how to handle reactive dogs, avoids dangerous paths, and keeps treats on hand to manage behavior. I’m a stay home mom with plenty of free time who is excited to spend some quality time with your loving pet and keep him or her busy and happy I have extra crates just in case your dog needs to be created. My backyard is fenced with plenty of gates to make sure that your dog will be safe at all times.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I have worked as a veterinarian assistant and am very caring and loving toward animals. I am a gentle spirit and consider myself an animal lover. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to suit the clients needs. If we agree on availability times you can be rest assured I can be relied upon. I have many trails around my house for walking and live in a basement apartment with no yard. I am not suited for long term or big dog boarding but will accommodate in specific circumstances.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.

“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”

“Sharon was so reassuring about her care for my dog that I was put totally at ease and then able to enjoy my planned vacation. I will certainly use her daycare again when I plan another trip.”
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats.
