“I am grateful to Holly for taking such good care of our two dogs in our home. There was great communication right from the start and she always kept me updated with pictures and videos. She is so easy going and my dogs bonded with her instantly. I will continue to call on her to care for my boys. Thank you Holly!”
“Emma was excellent with Bruce! He was so happy when I got home and I know he was well taken care of. She sent photos throughout their time together and took great care of the house while she was sitting. Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Emma did a fantastic job of watching after our animals while we were gone on vacation. She sent us lots of daily updates and pics to keep us at ease while we were away. We'll definitely be using Emma again in the future.”
“Marlena was so great with my dog! She was very well taken care of and I received updates throughout the day during the visit. I will definitely have Marlena watch Beta again!”
About: I've taken care of cats since the age of 12. I have a huge love and passion for all cats. I was always the one who would take care of the neighbors furry friends from a young age. I am currently available weekday evenings, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible with the time that I can visit your cat. I would love to meet you and your cat :) I would visit at the clients home so the pets can be comfortable in their own setting. I would like to be shown their favorite toys and games so I can engage with them.
“Val was amazing. We were so anxious leaving our dog to attend a wedding but Val kept us updated with messages and pics and spoiled Mogley with walks and snuggles so she hardly missed us!!”
About: I've had many dogs in my time as a foster and as a pet parent, I've also professionally done dog daycare and walking. As a person that has had many senior pets with special needs, I am more than willing to help with pilling injections, paraplegic dogs, dogs that require special services when walking. I'm currently working part-time and I'm looking to round out my schedule. I typically have availabilities during the weekday or the weekends as long as I have enough time in advance. I have two senior dogs and a fenced in area for those that like to walk. We can also go for walks around our block in a calmer country setting.
About: I have taken care of dogs overnight for up to a week when friends and family travel. Never done it as a paid gig so far. Even though I do nit have a dog because if family obligations right now, I am very good with them. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies when you are not around for some time. Both my cats are indoor cats so I have set up big cat trees for them to hangout. They are welcome on the furniture and the bed if they ever need to join me
“5 stars isn’t enough to reflect my experience with Samantha. She was amazing. My dog Frankie suffers from separation anxiety and can be a bit nervous with new people. Samantha came for a meet and greet and stayed with Frankie for an extended trip. She sent updates, pictures and videos of their time together. She quickly gained Frankie’s trust and he bonded with her instantly. The experience was very postive and gave me peace of mind that Frankie was in good hands. I will definitely book Samantha again as she’s now officially part of Frankie’s pack.”
About: Hey there! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience in both kennels and wildlife care, and I’m all about giving animals the best care possible. Whether it’s making sure your furry friend feels right at home in a kennel or helping rehabilitate wildlife in their natural habitat, I’ve got it covered. I’m passionate about animal well-being, from keeping them safe and comfortable to ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve got experience working with all kinds of animals, from the playful pups and curious cats at the kennel to the more unique creatures in wildlife care. I know how to handle all kinds of situations, whether it’s a rambunctious pet or a wildlife rescue in need of special attention. My goal is to make sure every animal gets the best care, and every pet owner leaves with a smile. Let’s just say, when it comes to animals, I’m the person you can trust to treat them like family! Back home, I grew up working closely with animals—caring for my own pets, managing kennels, and even working on wildlife breeding farms where I had the incredible opportunity to care for big cats like lions and tigers. My love for animals only grew stronger over the years, and when I moved to Canada, I was fortunate to receive job offers from PetSmart and PetValue. Unfortunately, schedule conflicts kept me from joining, but I’m excited to now be jumping into the pet care world through the Rover app, where I can share my experience and passion for animals with pet owners here in Canada. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to create a routine that’s familiar and comforting for them. I follow the owner’s guidelines closely whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime preferences, or special care instructions and ensure their environment remains safe and clean. I always make time for exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection.
“This was our first working with Sruthi and Vivek and we were not disappointed. We got regular updates, photos and videos from Sruthi. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we got home and that is always a sure sign that he was well taken of. We'd love to have Sruthi and Vivek watch our precious fur baby anytime!”

“Couldn't have asked for someone better than Casey. She is friendly and so loving towards our dogs. She stayed for the night to look after them and let me tell you they did not even miss us. She left the house so tidy and is just really friendly and such a nice person. We are looking forward to asking her again to help out with the doggies!”

“Vanessa has helped me look after our cat from a little kitten to a now 12 yr. old. She truly cares about pets, but cats in particular are her favorite. When people with cats in our neighborhood would go on vacation, she was the one who went into their homes to feed, clean litter boxes and provide company to the felines. She is prompt, responsible and gentle as a person and it reflects in everything she does!”

Faranak M.
“Faranak has an incredible love for animals that truly shines through in everything she does. Watching how lovingly she cared for her own cats actually inspired me to get a cat of my own. Since then, she’s been my go-to person for everything—from answering my endless questions to jumping in and helping with my cat’s care whenever I needed support. Her kindness, patience, and genuine passion for animals make her someone I fully trust and deeply appreciate. Any pet would be lucky to have her in their life!”

Shahzada A.
“I can’t recommend Ruhaan enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dog walker or pet sitter. He’s been taking care of my cat for a while now — helping with things like nail trimming, babysitting, and just making sure my cat feels safe and comfortable when I’m not around. It’s not easy to find someone that animals immediately trust, but Ruhaan has that special connection with them. He’s also amazing with dogs. Whether it's walking, playing, or just keeping them company, he really understands their needs and personalities. He’s calm, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. He’s even helped some of our friends by walking their dogs and taking care of them when they couldn’t be around, and they always had great things to say about him. It really shows how reliable and caring he is when it comes to pets. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and knows how to keep them happy, healthy, and well-cared for, Ruhaan is absolutely the right choice. Your pets will be in amazing hands!”
