“Just Great! My Dog has been there on two separate occasions. Naomi and Sam are awesome at keeping me updated how my Dog is doing which is comforting! Very nice people highly recommend!!”
“Agnes was great with my dog Rocko. It was was his first time in a different home, and Agnes made sure that he had fun and comfortable. There updates with pictures and videos sent to me. And she responds promptly. I will definitely go with Agnes again next time.”
“Melanie has been boarding my German shepherd River for several months now, and she’s simply just the BEST! She’s very professional, kind and caring, and accommodating. River is always excited to go there to hang out with her dog Tulo and her kids. It’s a huge load off my mind that he’s being well looked after for both short and long stays. Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”
“I had to make alternative plans for boarding my dog the week before Christmas. I was in a bad spot and wanted the best care for Trouble. Samantha was extremely accommodating. Since I was nervous leaving my dog she provided updates and pictures through Troubles stay for me which was a gigantic relief. I also had to change my return plans to significantly earlier because of weather and again she accommodated the last minute request. I'm very happy and Trouble had a fantastic time. If I need to board Trouble again I will definately reach out to board with Samantha and her family.”
“Jeff was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Stanley! He boarded him overnight and made the whole experience completely stress-free. His home was very clean and welcoming, which gave me great peace of mind right away. Jeff has such a calm and soothing demeanor that immediately put Stanley at ease and comfortable in a new environment. He also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely trust Jeff with Stanley again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Zaira did an amazing job watching my dog Dex last weekend! He had a great time with her family and I especially appreciated her responsive communication and lots of photo updates. Thank you!”
“Sandy and her partner were lovely to communicate & coordinate with and I received regular updates on Shadow’s stay with them. They have a big back yard that is fenced in that my dog loved to explore and a nice deck for him to sun tan on (his fav). Would highly recommend Sandy as a rover sitter!”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Based on previous reviews and messaging/meeting Robyn, I felt completely at ease with my 5-month Beagle puppy staying with Robyn & Corey for 2 weeks. I really appreciated receiving regular updates and photos of my puppy, all showing how well that he was being cared for and the fun that he was having with his new friends.”
“We really liked Paige. She came over to meet/greet the dogs before her actual stay. We have 3 dogs and one is very anxious/reactive. I had told this to Paige and she was perfect with her. Staying quiet and giving a very good soft relaxed energy to her. Paige also does Reiki and offered to do some on this dog. When we came home we were surprised that Paige had washed and folded the sheets and towel and the dogs seemed happy and relaxed. Paige stayed in touch with us while we were away and sent pictures, which was very reassuring to know that she arrived on time and was here.”
“Maggie had a great time at Ryan and Laura's! They were attentive to all the details we provided, their daughters were great with her, and having no other pets in the he was a plus. We got regular updates while we were away for piece of mind that everything was going well. Definitely recommend and will use again, I don't know if Maggie wants to be back home! :)”
“She is just amazing, there is no other comment, she took care of my puppy and kept updating me about him. Really thankful for all the great services that she provided”

“Cassandra was great!! Quick to reply, very polite, took great care of our rabbits and was very reassuring of her abilities so I could relax and enjoy my trip. She sent pictures regularly and left my house the way it was when she arrived. We are already make our next booking to look after our dogs and rabbits. 😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and fish my entire life. I’ve also worked in the pet industry and am certified in canine and feline health and nutrition. I love all pets including small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. My official (and professional) education is in Ecology, which I went into because I care deeply for those who can’t speak for themselves. I’m compassionate, patient, and reliable. I promise you your pet will be well taken care of with me! I’m currently searching for full time work, so my schedule is very flexible and open! Please let me know of any specific scheduling requirements your pet needs (i.e., feeding, administering medicine, walks) prior to booking. Just like people, animals all have different personalities and requirements! I am very understanding and patient of all animals and their needs. I would love to know any of your pets quirks so I can ensure they are comfortable while getting to know me.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child. We started by taking in strays/being gifted barn cats from friends. Living on a farm we saw many litters born, and as I grew older I realized how important fixing them was, so we started getting all the ones around our home fixed/vaccinated/dewormed. I started trapping kittens from friend’s barns and finding rescues to take them, fostering them in the meantime until they were ready to find a home of their own. I’m looking forward to the company of your pet and playing with them/caring for them. Note: we do have dogs in the home but they stay fully separate from the cat room.
About: I’ve had 3 cats in a single house since the start of highschool until I moved back down here. They were my rambunctious rapscallions and I miss them lots. Two brothers and a sister, various amounts of attention needed but I loved them to bits
“Noor was amazing! Our cats are very shy and usually give us a hard time when meeting new people, so we were nervous about leaving them but Noor was so diligent and loving with them that they warmed up to her quickly. Noor has definitely earned us as loyal customers!”
“We loved having Agnes watch our cats while we were on vacation. She is trustworthy, responsive, and really pays attention to details. We came back to a clean house and happy kitties. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Paige was great and followed instructions perfectly. Dogs were looked after and there was no mess in the house to worry about while we were on a short vacation. Thanks for the great photos and open line of communication!”

I have done a co-op course at a Vets office in the past and learned so many new things for the 6 months that I was there, it was an experience like no other. With all my knowledge I am positive your pet will have a blast and make a new friend in me!

About: Hi guys, Thanks for checking out my profile! I love furry animals and am excited to meet yours! I recently moved back from Costa Rica where my family and I have rescued many dogs and cats from horrible places and gave them a home that they could enjoy and feel loved. I think they are beautiful creatures that we have been blessed with and it would be my pleasure to meet yours. I aim to make your pet feel at home with me by cuddling, playing and walking. Feel free to message or call and ask any questions. Currently i have as a school bus driver and some time in between. Can't wait to hear from you and hopefully take care of your furry baby!

I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding to playtime, and keep the home clean and secure. Regular updates help build trust and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I didn’t grow up with cats, but I’ve loved every chance I’ve gotten to interact with them. It’s the best feeling when a cat chooses to be near you. I’ve taken care of a few cats in the past, checking up on them, feeding them, making sure their water is full and changing their litter. Obviously every cat is different so I always ask the pet owner about any particularities I should know and make sure to meet the cat before pet sitting so they are familiar with me. I follow instructions very well and will always respect your home, making sure your cat is happy and taken care of.
About: Cats are like Pringles. You can’t have just one. I have 3 of my own floofs, all foster failures. Always happy to provide chin scratches and full body rubs. I also volunteer at the local cat shelter.
“Riley was absolutely wonderful. She sent me regular updates, videos and photos. My pet was so happy when I returned; she made him feel like his owners were never away! I would recommend Riley as a pet sitter to anyone who wants the best possible pet care :)”

Holly always takes such good care of the cats so that I don't ever have to worry when I'm away. I recommend her for all your pet sitting needs wholeheartedly!”
About: I had a senior dog in my early teens that I cared for regularly. After our senior dog passed, our family began fostering through Bruno Project, a non profit dedicated to fostering and adopting dogs from St Lucia. We did that for a few years and I was a primary caretaker. There I learned how to care for dogs that may be scared and skiddish. A few years into doing this, we found out now adopted dog of three years. I would regularly visit my parents to care for this dog. I learned everything from potty training to enrichment to feeding routines and caring for their fur. I take pride in the ability to be attentive to each pet’s needs. I regularly visit my parents house where we have our three year old rescue that I take care of when I am there. Additionally, my friend has a cat that I spend time with a few times a week. In my family’s home, I do everything for my family dog when I am there. We regularly go on walks and spend time outdoors. I am attentive to behaviour changes in your pet and approach with care. I respect the clients space and regularly stay in contact with owners to further ensure safety and communication. When I am caring for your animal I will always take your lead on what is best for your furry friend.

Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”

About: I grew up with a beautiful, high-energy golden retriever, taking him for walks and car rides, brushing him, and giving him tons of pets. As someone who loves animals but isn’t in the position to have a pet of my own, I take any opportunity I can to hangout and take care of them. I had the opportunity recently to dog walk a senior dog and pet sit a couple big dogs for a few family friends and loved every minute of it. I took them for walks and potty breaks, fed them, played with them, and made sure to keep them on their normal routine while their owners were away. I am a quick learner who is able to follow instruction very well and ask questions when needed, so if your pet needs any extra care (for example, administering oral medication), I am more than comfortable taking on new tasks. I am currently in between employment and am looking for ways to make some money while I gear up for a master’s program in Scotland this fall. My availability is very flexible (e.g. mornings, afternoons, evenings, week days, and weekends) as my only other commitment is helping my brother with special needs on occasion. I will have plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your pets. I am very respectful, making sure to treat your home and pets as my own and ensuring their safety. For walks, I’ll make sure to use your preferred collar or harness, take the same walking route if that is what your pet prefers, always picking up their poop and putting it in the proper garbage, and making sure the doors/gates are locked before leaving. If your dog doesn’t enjoy interactions with other pets or people, I will make sure to avoid those situations, or if they do, give them plenty of time to socialize. In the home, I will make sure any hazards are put away, food is secured, things are put back where they belong, and make sure off-limit places stay off-limits. I will follow all instructions and send questions your way if I am unsure about anything. Plus, I’ll send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well when you’re away.
About: Have been helping families and friends for long time during their vacation and now rover gives me same chance to extended my support to neighbourhood I am currently working full-time from home but I am also looking for a really fun experience with your pets and taking care of them. don’t see any other work better than this. I have a fenced backyard and a patio where your pet can really enjoy playing and resting in a safe environment providing you peace of mind
“Communication with Max was excellent. He is friendly and professional. During their first meeting, he immediately won my anxious dog over with his calm and gentle energy. It is evident that he has experience with dogs and his love for them shines. I am very satisfied with his services and will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home

“Agnes was great with my dog Rocko. It was was his first time in a different home, and Agnes made sure that he had fun and comfortable. There updates with pictures and videos sent to me. And she responds promptly. I will definitely go with Agnes again next time.”
“Melanie has been boarding my German shepherd River for several months now, and she’s simply just the BEST! She’s very professional, kind and caring, and accommodating. River is always excited to go there to hang out with her dog Tulo and her kids. It’s a huge load off my mind that he’s being well looked after for both short and long stays. Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”
“I had to make alternative plans for boarding my dog the week before Christmas. I was in a bad spot and wanted the best care for Trouble. Samantha was extremely accommodating. Since I was nervous leaving my dog she provided updates and pictures through Troubles stay for me which was a gigantic relief. I also had to change my return plans to significantly earlier because of weather and again she accommodated the last minute request. I'm very happy and Trouble had a fantastic time. If I need to board Trouble again I will definately reach out to board with Samantha and her family.”
“Jeff was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Stanley! He boarded him overnight and made the whole experience completely stress-free. His home was very clean and welcoming, which gave me great peace of mind right away. Jeff has such a calm and soothing demeanor that immediately put Stanley at ease and comfortable in a new environment. He also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely trust Jeff with Stanley again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Based on previous reviews and messaging/meeting Robyn, I felt completely at ease with my 5-month Beagle puppy staying with Robyn & Corey for 2 weeks. I really appreciated receiving regular updates and photos of my puppy, all showing how well that he was being cared for and the fun that he was having with his new friends.”
“We really liked Paige. She came over to meet/greet the dogs before her actual stay. We have 3 dogs and one is very anxious/reactive. I had told this to Paige and she was perfect with her. Staying quiet and giving a very good soft relaxed energy to her. Paige also does Reiki and offered to do some on this dog. When we came home we were surprised that Paige had washed and folded the sheets and towel and the dogs seemed happy and relaxed. Paige stayed in touch with us while we were away and sent pictures, which was very reassuring to know that she arrived on time and was here.”
“Darien did a great job communicating before our dog's arrival and sent lots of updates/pictures during the stay. Our dog seemed to have a great time and we would gladly have our dog stay with Darien again.”
“Trisha was fantastic. It was Charlie’s first experience going to a sitter and I was a little nervous. Tricia’s house is warm and friendly. She greeted us at the door and engaged with Charlie immediately. He even felt comfortable enough to run through the house to get a toy! What I really appreciated was how Trisha asked about Charlie’s likes/dislikes and routine. She works really hard to ensure everything is as consistent and comfortable as possible. When I picked him up the next day he was happy and energetic. Thank you Trisha for making our first Rover experience an awesome one. We look forward to Charlie’s next sleepover with you.”
“Meagan was a great communicator and provided lots of pictures of our girl. We could see that she had lots of fun, and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her.”
