“Elizaveta provided our attention needing dog excellent care in her home over the week we had to travel. She included our dog in activities, provided many chances outside, and much love and snuggles. Our fur buddy came home looking great and we can tell she had a happy time. We will certainly look to rebook with Elizaveta again should the opportunity arise!”
“Teresa truly cared for my dog like one of her own! She updated me throughly with lots of pictures and made my dog feel so comfortable he was sad to leave her. She even sent treats home with him :) Highly recommend!!!”
“Jodi watched my 2 year old lab for 2 days and 1 night. She was wonderful, and even arranged for a meet and greet the week before his stay so that we could get to know her. She was so reassuring, you can tell that she knows what it’s like to leave behind your cherished pet. She took detailed notes when asking about my dog and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Jodi!”

“Amanda was a fantastic care giver to my high energy beagle Chloe! I so appreciated her daily pics and updates on how Chloe was doing during her first stay away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Chloe with her in the future. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy caregiver”
“Adrienne is our go-to sitter for as long as she plans to host pets. She's a lovely person, and goes out of her way to make sure Viktor's stays with her are comfortable, exciting, and safe. Thank you for everything!”
About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life. I've been doing rover consistently for the past 2 years. I just moved back to Thunder Bay and would love to meet you and your pets! ☺️I can walk dogs on and off leash and can even teach them a trick or two. I have a house with a fenced yard. Please let me know if your dog is aggressive because I have a small cat and a springer. Don't hesitate to reach out with any requests! I work weekend nights and I'm free all day during the week. I require at least 1 day advance notice but will make exceptions if needed! I walk my own dog daily and take her out multiple times a day ( shes very well house trained and will let me know) I spend a lot of time taking care of our animals whether that's feeding them, training them or just hanging out with them.
“Yuleizi took excellent care of my little one! Animosh can sometimes struggle with change and new people but seemed absolutely comfortable with Yuleizi and her home. I had great communication and got many pictures of my kitty. I would absolutely ask Yuleizi to watch my Ani again!”
“Anjali was awesome, made us feel super welcome and kept me updated hourly with photos and videos. Walked our pup and socialized her with her cat and other dogs on the walk. Our pup loves going to Anjali and gets very excited as we go towards their front door, I would definitely recommend Anjali!”

“Marcy was great with our shy girl. She gave our Persephone the space and time she needed to get used to her and followed Percy's routine to the letter. Her extensive and detailed daily reports were very reassuring to us nervous pet parents as this is the first time we been away from her for so long. Marcy went above and beyond in acquiescing to my request to take care of my plants a little and everything was exactly as I had left it, if not better. Thank you Marcy for taking excellent care of our fur baby.”
“Madison took great care of our 2 cats while we were away! She's reliable, punctual, and a great communicator, and having her dropping in on our cats put our minds at ease. One of our cats is typically very timid, but the first time she met Madison she went to her right away for pets! I would recommend Madison to anyone and we would definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—the kind where you smile just seeing one walk by. Over the years, I’ve cared for both spirited puppies and mellow senior dogs, and I’ve loved every stage in between. My parents brought home a beagle three years ago, and from teething to training, I’ve been part of his puppy journey ever since. More recently, I’ve helped care for my boss’s 11-year-old dog, Iggy, which gave me insight into the gentler pace and extra care older pups sometimes need. What makes me different? I approach every dog with curiosity—no two are the same, and I love figuring out what makes each tail wag. I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy long walks, cuddle breaks, and the little routines that make dogs feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt with heart and care. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility during the day to focus on pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so whether it’s weekday walks, playtime breaks, or weekend visits, I’m available and ready. My weekends are completely free, so longer stays or extra attention when you’re away is no problem at all. I care for pets where they’re happiest—right at home. Whether it’s walks, visits, or overnight stays, I keep things calm, familiar, and full of love. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect your space, and give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Safe, stress-free, and always reliable.
About: I've been a dog owner of Labradors for the past 30 years, until recently. A few months ago I said goodbye to my boy Fletcher, and life is just not the same without a dog. I am a fairly active 52 year old who lives alone, and quietly, with a fenced yard and Vickers Park nearby. I go to my family's camp in the summer, and would like to be able to take your dog with me for a good swim and hike! My house has always been a dog house. I do love to travel, so I know what it's like to have someone care for your dogs while away, and the worries and trust that go with such a responsibility. Someday I will get another dog, but until then, I would love to welcome yours into a safe, calm, environment, with lots of love, fun and outside time. I am currently free and flexible to adapt to your dog's schedule. I am the only one in the house so I am able to be present for your dog and hang out with him or her as much as they'll let me! I have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly 2 bedroom bungalow. One room is a spare so can be used to put crates or beds if dogs are nervous or want alone time. I will never kick a dog off my bed if they are willing to keep me company!
“I booked last minute, and they were so kind and accommodating! I came into town late, but they were super understanding about it. They kept me updated about my cats even though I’m not much of a texter, and it really gave me peace of mind. Super sweet, responsive, and clearly cared about my pets, I would absolutely book again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats, including understanding their different personalities and needs. I enjoy spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also very patient with shy or cautious cats and know how important it is to let them warm up at their own pace and build trust gradually.
About: I’ve been raised around animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve had dogs of my own, including Laszlo, Grace, and Castiel, and animals have always been an important part of my life. One thing I’ve noticed throughout my life is that animals seem to trust me very quickly. Even shy or nervous pets who are hesitant around new people will often approach me and begin warming up to me sooner than expected. I’m patient and gentle with animals and never want to overwhelm them, I let them come to me at their own pace. I believe every pet has their own personality, needs, and little quirks, and I love getting to know them. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cuddly and affectionate, independent, or a little shy, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available every day. I’ve recently finished PSW school, so I am able to dedicate my time to providing pet care and am available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can accommodate different routines and care needs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, some company during the day, or care while you’re away, I have plenty of availability, flexibility, and care to offer. I currently provide pet care in the pets home rather than my own. I am happy to come to your home for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or extended stays while you’re away. I know that staying in a familiar environment can be especially comforting for pets, particularly those who are shy, nervous, or attached to their usual routines. My goal is to keep your pets routine as normal and comfortable as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care.
About: I have cared for cats for 13 years, ever since I got my first cat when I was 6. I have experience taking care of cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. My friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to check in on their cats, provide food and fresh water, clean litter boxes, deliver medications, give attention and playtime. I know how to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to changes in behaviour. I have always genuinely loved spending time with cats and caring for them!
About: I’m an animal lover who has spent years caring for pets! Over the years, I have gained experience through house, dog, and cat sitting for my family and friends. These experiences have made me more comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and various care needs. I love getting outside and going for long walks which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I am just as suited for calmer pets who prefer quiet company! I treat each pet with genuine care to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are away from their owners. I am currently a Master’s student with a super flexible schedule! Since my coursework and research hours aren’t fixed, I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, or pet-setting. I spend most of my time working from home which gives me the freedom to check in on pets, take them for long walks, or stay overnight whenever needed. To foster a safe, trusted environment, I focus on keeping routines as familiar as possible for your pets. I follow owner’s instructions clearly (e .g., feeding schedules, walk times, medications) and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
“Felipe was such a huge help with watching our two cats! He sent lots of photos and they clearly loved him. He was also able to be flexible when our plans changed because of the wildfires.”

“Zola is quick to respond. My dogs love her and are so excited to see her. She is very punctual you can almost set your watch on her arrival time. She is always engaging the dogs and when the weather is bad she does inside creative activities with the dogs but always checks in with me to make sure it’s alright to do that while making sure they had a potty break. I am so thankful I found and she will always be the dogs walker as long as she will have us.”
About: Hi my name is Marina! (Based in Thunder Bay) I’m currently a university student who is studying education I want to become a teacher and I have a love for animals and the outdoors! I have experience with both dog walking and dog sitting, including going over on certain days to let family and friends’ dogs out, feed them, and spend time with them. I am comfortable dog sitting in other people’s homes and always make sure to respect the space and routines. I am very good at learning and following each animal’s schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care instructions. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already spend a lot of time with animals in my daily life. I enjoy being active, going for walks, and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs out or caring for pets feels like a natural extension of my day. I also spend time with my own pets, playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I am a university student going into my 5th of 6 years for teaching, so I am used to balancing responsibilities and managing my time well. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. I care deeply about the safety and well-being of animals and always do a check-in when I arrive to make sure they have everything they need. I ensure food and water are refilled, they have access to toys and comfort, and that their basic needs are met. For dogs, I make sure they are let outside for bathroom breaks and exercise, and for cats, I clean and scoop the litter box as needed. I also take time to give attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Awesome dog walker! Very friendly and gently with your dog. My dog is a handful and she took the challenge with no problems at all. You can tell she had experience with animals, and is very accommodating to your specific animals needs. She is very through, went over the details to make sure everything was covered and understood. I'll be booking more walks with her in the future! Thanks Abbigayle!”

About: I have cared for my own dogs most of my life and I get along with all dogs. I like to make sure that there is time for play because it is also good exercise. In addition, I have experience training my own dogs with the typically, basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, come). Training is an on going task and I will be happy to follow the rules you have already instilled in your pet. Walking is my top activity ranging from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. I have a full time job with somewhat erratic hours, so the time of the walk may need to be shifted if work goes late. That being said, check-ins will also have to be after this time. Usually 5-10 pm is a good window. I am very well organized and will make time for your pet and the care that it needs. My schedule varies from day to day but I make an effort to support all pet needs. When in clients homes, I make an effort to follow their routines and the way that they work with their pet so that the pet feels as comfortable as possible.
About: I had a dog growing up, from a puppy to 14 years old. I trained him as a puppy and took care of his daily needs. I have since rescued two dogs of my own while living in Thunder Bay. One was adopted at 5 years old and I have been able to continue his training, the other is a new puppy. I work two weeks on two weeks off. During my two weeks of work I have many on call days which allows me to be around to walk and check in on pets. I have time during my two weeks off to pet sit and be home to care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. One is 7years old and the other is a puppy full of energy. They like the play but they also like to nap. They love hikes and play time. I have two types of crates and beds if needed during the stay.
About: Hello. My name is Amanda 🫶 I am 38 years old 😬 I consider myself a pet magnet. People call me the animal whisperer. Never mind, the time I got ducks talking to me 🤭 I’ve even had an emu follow me around and take selfies with me 😅 I’ve been working as a groomer and pet care taker for 18 years now. 18 years in grooming and 30 years caring for pets 🐾 I have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. My main option on here is pet sitting but I also do walking. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for two years, and have many certifications including Animal Sciences 👩🎓 I work at my own home based grooming salon and doggy day care 💈✂️🧼 I often care for pets belonging to family and friends. I have a fenced in backyard that your pet will enjoy. I spend a lot of time outside, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time ☀️🐕🦺 I have a pet friendly bed and vehicle too! 🚘 I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet, whether it’s a dog, cat or small critter 🐰🐹🦔 I wake up cuddling animals and go to sleep cuddling animals. I also enjoy the outdoors so they will get plenty of fun and exercise. Tug of war or ball are what I live for. Shaking a feather around to see your kitty go crazy makes me laugh. Replenishing food and water. Tidy ups.
“The dogs took to Madison right away and came back happy and tired from their long walk! Madison was available last minute which really helped me as I was stuck without time to take them.”

At home, I walk my dogs every day, scoop my cats’ litter boxes twice a day, clean their food and water dishes whenever they get dirty, and regularly brush both my cats and dogs.
