“I appreciated the care that my cat Gordon received while he was staying here. I received frequent photos and videos to show what Gordie was up to. When I arrived to pick him up, his belongings were already packed and ready to put into the car. He also appeared to have just woken up from a nap so he must have been pretty relaxed and happy to be there.”
“I felt comfortable leaving Bear with Priyanka. She provided me with lots of updates and photos. Bear and her dog, Link, got along very well and kept each other busy. Bear is very high energy and loves to be vocal sometimes so I appreciate that they were able to handle that and be okay with it. I fully trusted Bear and her care and was not worried. I would definitely board him again the next time it’s needed. Thanks so much for taking good care of Bear, really appreciate it!”

“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Kara did an amazing job while looking after our Malamute Anzje. Anzje can be a bit anxious but Kara came to our home & followed his routines to make him feel comfortable. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I had a great experience with Saksham and his wife! they were super attentive, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her up :) they took her on plenty of walks(just the way she likes it) and even made her feel at home by letting her sleep on the bed or couch!!I really appreciated the regular updates with pics, which made me feel at ease while I was away”
“Cindy & Marc were fantastic in every aspect! Bodhi stayed with them for the first time this past week and he had the best time. Lots of attention and activity! Communication was great…updates and pictures sent throughout the stay. Will be looking to use Cindy & Marc in the future and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“We were initially really nervous to leave Frankie overnight since she’s only 13 weeks old and can be a handful but she was in such good hands with Adam and we felt super safe and secure leaving her after meeting him. Wonderful communication and photo updates of our pup, we would absolutely use Adam again for future daycare/boarding needs.”
“Deborah-Lynn is simply amazing! She provided lots of updates and photos throughout Eddie’s stay at her place (4 days) and he had a blast playing with his friends. It was my family’s first time being away from him for an extended time so we appreciated it very much! Her communication was excellent as well, always keeping in touch throughout Eddie’s stay. Deborah also was very accommodating with my travel plans which required an early drop off and late pick up time. Thank you Deborah-Lynn, we will definitely be going back!!”
“Dale and Fiona were wonderful to deal with and took amazing care of our pup Atlas. They made our first time using Rover a pleasant experience and we will definately be using them again in the future! Highly recommend them :)”

We will definitely be booking with Shannon again!”

“Melissa is an absolute asset to my busy travellers lifestyle. As someone who goes on 3-4 trips a year, I’m so happy that I found Melissa. She’s very personable, very flexible with times, and great with my fur babies. She regularly does drop in visits for my cats and recently has started boarding my dog for a few day trips that I’ve gone on. She goes above an beyond what any other pet sitter would do. She told me that my cat food was getting low and when I asked she even picked some up for me! I would highly recommend her and completely trust her with my little cuties. I’m so happy to have someone reliable to watch them. Thanks for everything girl”
“Lizzy exceeded all expectations and made my first experience leaving my cats for an extended period completely stress-free. From the start, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, putting my mind at ease. Each day, Lizzy sent adorable pictures of my cats, giving me peace of mind and keeping me connected to them while I was away. Her detailed messages were thorough, updating me on how they were doing, what they were eating, and any other observations she made. Not only did she meticulously follow all of our instructions, but she also went above and beyond in ensuring the cats were comfortable and well cared for. Working with Lizzy was seamless—her communication was prompt, her attention to detail unmatched, and her warm demeanor truly reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I think my kitties already miss her!”
“Aliyah was our live in pet sitter for our cat Ginger while we were away for two weeks. Aliyah was very reliable and responsible. Aliyah provided updates and photos/videos. Ginger became comfortable and affectionate with Aliyah. We recommend Aliyah as a pet sitter.”
About: NOTE: Times I am available are listed under "Availability" (left side of screen on computer + in the middle of this section on phone) I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience pet sitting for others, so I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace, while also being able to keep up with energetic puppies who need structure, play, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly to anything your pet might need. I’m also very mindful of routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just maintaining the environment your pet is used to. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for the entire time. ********************* **Schedule updated weekly** Available ANYTIME on: Thursday (18th), Monday (22nd) Available anytime BEFORE 4:00PM on: Saturday (13th), Tuesday (16th), Friday (19th) - Sunday (21st) (As Rover is not showing the times I am available, I will update this section of my profile every week.) ********************* When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful of your pet’s comfort and behavior, and I always make sure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I also respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Wenge did a wonderful job with our cat, Nemo. She followed all our care instructions to the letter. We had lots of cute updates and that is so important for us furparents who already feel sad to be away from our furbabies. She was on time for both visits and made any changes and accommodations we requested. Thank you again!”
“Kira is dependable, visits when she says she will, and looks after our cat with lots of affection. We’ve had Kira look after our cat before and will do so again when we need someone.”
“Alex has taken care of our two cats a few times now and we continue to be so happy with her care of them, our home and her overall professionalism. She takes great care to ensure our cats are well looked after and always keeps us in the loop.on any schedule changes. Highly recommend hiring Alex for any pet sitting needs!”
“Eva and her family were wonderful care-takers for my two cats, Moo & Min! She made me feel at ease once they were boarded and always kept me in the loop on how they were doing. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Adam did a great job of taking care of our kitten for two days. It was the first time we had left him so I was very nervous but Adam came to meet Jack ahead of time and it was obvious that our little guy was in good hands. Adam sent updates and photos at each visit. We would definitely recommend Adam!”
“Jessica went above and beyond taking care of my two cats. She paid great attention to details and I would recommend her to anyone needing help with their cats! She also took great pictures that made me smile a lot when even I was away.”

“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”
“Wenge was great with my dog Nutmeg. She was very quick to respond to my questions and gave me several updates about how his day was going. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you Deb for taking such good care of our dog! We know how excited he is to see you by how he pulls on the leash to get into your house😂. We are very fortunate that you are part of his pack🙏”
“Isha and Carlos were very welcoming of my little 5 months old puppy - as were their two dogs Lucy and Bella. They agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and alleviated all my worries about leaving my "baby" with them. Bella and Riley hit it off immediately and started playing and running like crazy in the backyard, with Lucy trying her best to keep up with the two. Yesterday they watched Riley all day for me and he had a blast. The videos they sent showed them frolicking in the back yard and then taking exhausted naps. They really care about making your pet feel at ease. Riley will be back soon!”
“Wei-Chien did an amazing job dog sitting Tucker and Snow! Both pups were so well cared for and happy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Wei-Chien to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Adam is caring, kind and patient. Our pup loves hanging out with Adam and his family. Over the past three months, we’ve left our pup with Adam over 10 times now. We’re very lucky to have found Adam through Rover. We’d highly recommend him!”
“Eva and her family have been wonderful with taking care of my 5 month old puppy! They are kind, communicative, and they clearly loves pets! My dog has been very relaxed and comfortable in their home and enjoys regular walks and time outside. I have appreciated regular photos and updates about his day. Would recommend!”
“Tyler was great with my 3.5 month old puppy. Tyler was attentive, caring and communicated well with me throughout the stay. Boon, the dog, was very well mannered and taught some good things to my puppy. I would definitely contact Tyler again in the future.”
“Our dog loves spending time with Brittany and we really appreciate her skills and approach with him. It's also great to see him running to front door when we drop him off.”
“Koda took to Priyanka and her pooch, Link, so effortlessly. We appreciate the calm and "fun" environment they foster. Cannot wait to bring Koda back for another visit. I know she can't wait either.”
About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am an experienced dog owner who runs my own training, grooming and pet care business in New Hamburg called Canine Community Corner. We offer a wide variety of services, such as boarding, walking, drop in visits, bath and brush, and nail trim services. We also carry a wide variety of pet care products in our storefront, most of which are made by other local small businesses. In my home, I have 2 dogs and a cat. In the past I have also had a bearded dragon, a chameleon, hamster, rats, and mice, so I am experienced with a wide range of animals. During their stay with us, your pet will receive flexible 5 star care, depending on their needs and preferences. My dogs and I are avid hikers, and often spend our free time out on walks through the forest. If your dog prefers to stay home, we are also able to provide a calm and quiet environment for the duration of their stay. I also have a wide variety of actives they can do at my facility in the case of bad weather, including a treadmill, obstacle training, and scent work activities. My goal and belief as a pet professional is that services should be catered to each specific client, and not a one size fits all model. Because of the size of our living space and the nature of my job/business, I do require that any dogs coming to stay with us are crate trained and that their crate is brought with them. This not only allows for a smooth and stress-free stay, but provides your dog with a familiar safe space in a new environment. If your dog has any sort of separation anxiety, please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly. Feel free to message me with questions at any time! Because I am a small business owner, I have a very flexible schedule that can change depending on the needs of my clients - whether that’s in a drop-in, walk, or boarding service. Our canine clients often spend the day with my at my storefront, then come hone with me in the evenings to hang out until bedtime. Depending on the dog and the preferences of the owner, they may also participate in group classes as a demo dog to help show the exercises being taught. I am currently living in an apartment that opens outside to a large yard. Dogs are kept on a long line, unless otherwise specified by their owner that they are able to be reliably off leash. Even with owner permission, I typically avoid any off leash time that could potentially lead to the dog escaping or getting injured. I also have a very structured system in my home, where I introduce dogs through a parallel pack walk before letting them interact either indoors or outdoors. I also spend a significant amount of time working on calm and impulse control, and avoid letting pets in my home get overly excited.
“We had a wonderful experience with Saksham. He was caring, reliable, and kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog Shadow was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable. We would absolutely recommend him and will book again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! My partner and I currently have a sweet little poodle at home, so we understand the importance of reliable and loving care. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, fish—even a gecko! I’ve also helped take care of friends’ and neighbours’ pets, whether it’s going on walks, feeding, or just spending time with them. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :) I just finished my undergraduate degree and currently stay at home full-time while my partner works remotely, so one of us is always home with your pet! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, with lots of flexibility on weekdays and weekends. Whether it’s playtime or quiet companionship, your pet will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. We live in a pet-friendly apartment near the University of Waterloo, with a secure balcony and lots of cozy spots for your pet to relax. We have two sweet, friendly poodles who enjoy the company of other pets but is also happy to give them space if needed. We also have a crate available for pups who prefer their own quiet spot to rest. Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities.
About: We’ve had pets my whole life. Starting with a pony and currently have 3 dogs, one cat and 2 small lizards. More animals than humans in my house. I am a work from home (mostly),sales professional. I have dog beds in my office and a large fenced backyard yard to play between walks. All of our four legged friends are super friendly Two of the dogs are seniors and sleep a lot during the day. Our home is calm and quiet for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of family dog and neighbors dog for 5 years. I have experience taking care of small to medium dogs and can train basic skills for puppies. My job has a flexible hours schedule and I can work from home. Therefore I can accommodate any hours needed by the customer and their dog. I do not have pets in my home currently, so the client’s dog will be the only pet in the home. I’ll make sure their dogs feel comfortable here.
“Reggie has been going once a week to Charatini & Panagiotis' for a few months and he is loving it. He jumps out of the car in the morning ready for the day with them. I get a report card and pictures after each stay. Highly recommend their services!!”
About: I’m an Animal Biology student at the University of Guelph and an aspiring veterinarian. I have experience volunteering at Bruce Street Animal Hospital, Kitchener stray cat rescue, and a pre-vet wildlife program. I also have my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, basic care, patience, and making pets feel safe and loved. I’m currently on summer break, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability throughout the week and will be available to care for the dogs and cats fully. :) I have a big fenced in backyard, which gives dogs space to safely play and spend time outside. I do have a pool but it is fenced in a separate enclosure. We live on a quiet street with a big front yard as well. I also have my own dog, so I understand the importance of keeping a very safe, clean, and calm environment. I have attached photos of my yard in the photo gallery.

My cats keep to themselves but do not appreciate being chased, I can arrange to keep them in a separate room if need be. I can't wait to hear about all your little cuties and arrange for a time to meet you and them! I am a hairstylist working from home, I work part time as a beauty advisor and hangout with pets with the rest of my free time :) Because I have a fenced yard I can offer many potty breaks if needed and Aurora is available all day to play and tire your pup out! If your pup needs a lot of walks, I can also provide that no problem whatsoever.
“Brittany was absolutely incredible with our two fur babies . She went above and beyond for us while caring for them while I was away . I would highly recommend and can’t wait to use her services again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. From, lab to mastiff to boxer. I can handle larger dogs and dogs who can be aggressive towards strangers and new friends. I have started my own business which occupies my early mornings and I find myself with time off during the day. Going for nice walkies with furry friends is the best way to fill my day. I am steadily employed and extremely responsible and respectful. I will give your good boy or girl my full attention and ensure their enjoyment and most of all their safety.

“I had a wonderful experience with Adam walking my husky mix while I was away recently. My dog is very large, and can be a bit reactive, but Adam was amazing with him. It is clear that he takes so much joy out of the time he spends with the animals and providing them with the best care. I got a message each day, letting me know how the walk went and how my boy was doing, which I really appreciated. It was my first time hiring a walker and it couldn't have gone better. I will absolutely be using Adam next time I have to be away.”
About: ***Welcoming new friends for walks/drop ins!*** With over 30 years of caring for cats and dogs, we guarantee that we will care for and love your pet as if they were our own. I started walking a neighbour’s dog and caring for cats when I was in my midteens - after years of longing for a pet in a pet-free home, it was a way to get a “fix”! Over the years I have cared for other people’s companions and eventually my own. I didn’t get my first dog until I was 29! Since then I have had 5 dogs. The most recent is Lily, a potcake from Bahamas. She joins Poppy, our l mutt who loves to play and take up the whole couch. We are a family that adores our dogs and everyone else’s too! My kids have had dogs in their lives since they were born and they are excellent with dogs of all kinds. My teenage daughter now joins me in caring for animals as a part-time job. This is at no additional cost to clients! Got two dogs? You get two times the love for the same price! If we are dropping in to see your companion, we promise to give them whatever they need - cuddles, play time or to just sit in quiet company. If your dog needs a walk, it will involve lots of focussed attention, chatting, pats, and treats (if allowed). We know what your pet means to you because we know what ours mean to us. And we know the kind of care and attention we want our dogs to have when we have to leave them behind. We offer care and affection, with a personal touch, whether drop-ins or walks. A note about fees: Nightly fees are for up to 24 hours. Additional time that is not a full day may incur additional fees. Not all holidays or high demand times in Ontario or Canada are included by Rover (ie Family Day, March Break) so rates may be adjusted for holidays. I work part-time outside the home. My husband works from home 4 days a week. We fit dog-walking and playtime in around our work and family obligations and usually get at least one big nature walk in on the weekends. Our dogs are part of our daily lives, napping nearby while we work or hanging out with us while we read, watch tv, or play games. We have a large fenced yard and our dogs have the run of the house. We also have a crate and can offer it if your dog needs a space to rest or stay if we go out or overnight. Daily walks and play time, snuggles if they want to, care and affection are just routine around here. We are definitely dog people! I have taken a basic canine first aid course and keep basic first aid supplies in the case of an emergency before veterinary care can be accessed. This would only be used immediately in case of an injury and would not replace veterinary attention.
About: If the dogs or cats want to take my chair or bed, I the type of person who would sit or sleep somewhere else. As a former researcher, I would always try to understand animals behavior in a scientific way, and of course in a loving way. I love a clean and tidy space. I work from home and with no family around, so your pet would become my best friend. I work from home and do lots of walking everyday, so all the pet's need can be taken care of nicely. I take at least two walks everyday, stay the rest of time at home working, that's why I'm capable of pet care. And most importantly, I love pets. I can care the pets in the way he was cared at home. I have a cat and lots of energy to take the dog on a walk, and the flexibility to meet the dog's need.
About: I have taken care of many pets since I’m a child, so I’m very experienced and love to stay with them. I would love to provide the same care to your pet. I’m home full time, so I can care for the dogs according to your schedule based on their daily routine. I can keep them like home. I’m serious about keeping them safe and healthy, so I’ll watch them full time whenever they’re having meals, take rests or interacting with each other.
“Deniz has been walking Jack for four months and has been wonderful. She is reliable, friendly, and Jack has really warmed up to her. I feel very comfortable knowing he is in good hands and would definitely recommend Deniz.”
About: Over 30 years of being a cat Mom, while also looking after cats for family and friends in their homes. I have experience giving medications, pills and injections. Litter boxes don’t scare me one bit! I know how to bathe a cat in 20 minutes with low stress for the cat and next to no scratches for me. I also know how to groom cats, and can do nail trims. I have a number of different techniques to play with the kitties. I love animals, especially cats, and totally understand cats, their moods and a cat’s cantankerous ways. I once had a golden retriever who was my kid for 12 years. Lovely dog. She crossed rainbow bridge in 2014, gone but not forgotten. Currently unemployed, seeking part time work, so that I will still have time to do this occasional job as well. I will be starting post secondary studies in the next few months, classroom time is 4 hours per day, leaving time for me to come and visit/walk your pet. I can come and visit your pet up to twice a day if needed. I do not sleep over in your home. I do not do visits/walks outside the KW area. For dog walking, here is my usual routine. I enter the door say hello to the pet, grab their leash, poop bags, and then prepare the pet for their walk. Put on clothes or boots if needed, collar and leash, then off we go!
About: My family has owned dogs for 8 years and I’ve walked 2 or 3 dogs several times a week since then! I’ve also assisted family friends with walking and drop-ins for feeding and sitting. I am a fourth-year undergrad student with a few hours of classes per week and no other responsibilities, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can’t care for pets in my home, but I am very happy to petsit in your home and walk outside the home! I will watch your pet with care and take their personality/conditions into account.
“so kind and hearted Waking up to the pics and news about my dog you sent? Made my day! You're so thoughtful. It always brightens my morning. Knowing my pup's in good hands with you, I'm stress - free. Thanks a ton!”
“Tyler was very kind and friendly when meeting me through the Rover app. His profile led me to inquire about his availability to walk my dogs. It’s reassuring to know that dogs are his passion, not just as pets, but in grooming and other care capacities. My dogs are big, strong, excited dogs and he did a wonderful job with them. He was also very pleasant and kind to my mom, who has Alzheimer’s and lives with me. I would trust Tyler to walk or dog sit the dogs anytime!”

“Ashley was able to squeeze our dog in last minute and was excellent. She sent multiple updates with pictures and took him for a lengthy walk in the morning before pickup. We will definitely book with Ashley again in the future.”
“I felt comfortable leaving Bear with Priyanka. She provided me with lots of updates and photos. Bear and her dog, Link, got along very well and kept each other busy. Bear is very high energy and loves to be vocal sometimes so I appreciate that they were able to handle that and be okay with it. I fully trusted Bear and her care and was not worried. I would definitely board him again the next time it’s needed. Thanks so much for taking good care of Bear, really appreciate it!”

“I had a great experience with Saksham and his wife! they were super attentive, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her up :) they took her on plenty of walks(just the way she likes it) and even made her feel at home by letting her sleep on the bed or couch!!I really appreciated the regular updates with pics, which made me feel at ease while I was away”
“Deborah-Lynn is simply amazing! She provided lots of updates and photos throughout Eddie’s stay at her place (4 days) and he had a blast playing with his friends. It was my family’s first time being away from him for an extended time so we appreciated it very much! Her communication was excellent as well, always keeping in touch throughout Eddie’s stay. Deborah also was very accommodating with my travel plans which required an early drop off and late pick up time. Thank you Deborah-Lynn, we will definitely be going back!!”

“Josue was an amazing person and he sent me updates anytime he could. The place was amazing and his family accepted my dog for the day like their own. My dog had a lot of fun. I will definitely take my dog there next time I’m in Waterloo area.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”

“Melissa was extremely responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with, as always! She sent plenty of pictures of our dog’s weekend adventures with her dogs (aka our guy’s new best friends) throughout the booking. I couldn’t recommend Melissa enough if you’re looking for a true dog lover to care for yours.”
