About: Hello! My name is Jacqueline, and I've had a lifelong love for animals. Growing up with dogs since a young age has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I bring that wealth of experience to every dog I look after. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they need. I prioritize safety in all activities, whether it's a walk in the park or playtime! I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I’m experienced with handling dogs with special needs, anxiety, or specific dietary requirements. I’m excited to provide a loving and safe environment for your dog while you’re away. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels at home! 🐾💗 I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine! I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks and playtime rather than your pet being left alone for long periods. I already have a dog of my own, Hershey, so walks, outdoor time and lots of doggy attention are already part of our everyday life. I’m also able to be flexible with feeding schedules, medications, walks and any routines your pet is used to at home. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable, safe and at home. When staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family and get lots of attention, affection, playtime and regular outdoor breaks. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I have a friendly cockapoo named Hershey, so I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I also prefer to keep the number of pets I care for at one time limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks and any special instructions you provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so keeping you updated and making sure your pet is happy and well cared for is very important to me.
“Natalie & Daniel are highly recommended!!! They asked questions to get to know Dessie’s routine and likes. The family has spoiled her rotten lol and daily updates were much appreciated. I will definitely use Natalie & Daniel (and the kids ) again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging in size from medium to giant and have watched dogs as my full time job for 2 years. Your dog will never need to be alone. My home has a fenced back yard and guests will be able to hang out on the furniture or sleep in bed. I have taken a cainine first aid course so I can deal with any emergencies and have experience in dispensing medications when needed. Dog sitting is my full time job so your dog will never need to be alone. I am available to watch your companions any day of the week. I have a fenced back yard that is secure. I have taken a cainine first aid course to keep your family member safe and an able to administer medications if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️
“Bill and Norma watched Emma and Hannah for several days for us. It was our first time working with them as sitters. I was grateful for their patience and thoughtfulness. Hannah can be challenging, given her conversational tendencies and quirkiness. We dealt mostly with Bill. I noticed he took extra time when Hannah needed more attention. He also realized the differences in both dogs' personalities and worked to kindly manage them as they demonstrated need. I would leave our dogs with them again. They came home quiet, well adjusted and settled right back into our routine.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Soumya! She kept us regularly updated with photos and videos of Baloo throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was really reassuring to see that he was happy, comfortable, and having such a great time. She also kept us updated on how he was doing, whether he’d had his dinner, and all the little things that helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. We ended up getting delayed on our way back from vacation, and Soumya was incredibly kind and accommodating about it, which we’re so grateful for. And a special mention to her adorable little puppy, Veera, who was such great company for Baloo! He absolutely loved having a buddy to play with, and it was so sweet seeing them together. 🥰 We’re extremely grateful to Soumya for taking such good care of Baloo and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their fur baby! ❤️🐾”
“Thank you to Tia and her family for taking such great care of our boy while we were away! We received updates and photos to let us know how it was going. He came back home very happy, tired and clean!”
“Ankur and Krupa did an excellent job taking care of my dog! They communicated very well throughout the day and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked up my dog, they also took the time to explain everything about his day, including what he ate, whether he pooped, and how he was doing overall. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and paid close attention to his needs. I really appreciate their care, communication, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Ankur and Krupa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”
“I can't say enough good things about Qian! They provided exceptional care for our senior dog, Cooper, who has multiple medication and special care needs. From the very beginning, Qian was incredibly communicative, offering daily updates and videos that gave us peace of mind throughout our holiday. It was so reassuring to know that Cooper was in such capable, loving hands. Qian's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring Coopers well-being was truly impressive. We will absolutely be booking them again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Holly is professional and accommodating. She was very prompt with responding to my messages and was able to extend Blue's stay on a very short notice. Blue seems to be very happy being with her. I would definitely book with Holky again.”
“Lauren has been very accommodating with our needs. We left Teddy our medium size cockapoo 3 years old for 6 nights with her. She took very good care of him and he came back very happy. Thanks Lauren😊”
“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”
“Maria was so thorough in taking care of our pup! Before we dropped him off, Maria reached out to ask about any specific needs of our dog. She took him on a walk and played with him. It was clear that she was very knowledgeable on how to handle and take care of dogs. Very pleased with the service!”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Mylo has not been boarded for 3 days for a really long time but he was certainly treated like family- Pics showed he was very comfortable with everyone and made himself right at home ( very important to me) -He arrived home relaxed and destressed -A happy pup 🐶 so thank you for giving Mylo a calming and friendly experience -He will definitely be requesting another visit 😊”
“Vanessa is the most incredible sitter ever! We left our high energy puppy, Mango, with her for 10 days while on a trip, and she was absolutely amazing. Her care, patience, regular updates, understanding and love made Mango’s stay stellar. Mango loves going to her place and had the best time! He is always so happy when he is with her. Leaving Mango with her, we knew we had nothing to worry about. She is truly the best and we are so lucky to have found her!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing and so kind. She took care of my babies like her own. She helped me when I was going through a really hard time. My fur babies were very happy to stay with Heather. She went above and beyond. We will definitely visit Heather again if she will have us.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oshawa
Bill and Margaret are like family in the way they love and treat my baby. I don’t have to worry when my Harley’s in their care. I fell the genuineness of their hearts and love for my 16 year old senior baby. They keep in touch daily with pics and videos. Always positive and pleasant to deal with. My baby loves them just the same.
Mia looked completely comfortable with Sharai,which was a relief. Sharai did a great job of keeping in touch with us and sharing photos of Mia. We felt reassured that Mia was being well taken care of. Thank You for taking care of our girl! We'll book with you again.😀
I can't recommend Cecily enough! She took care of my dog, Izora, for 10 days, and when Izora developed an eye infection, Cecily handled it with so much care and attention. She consistently administered both eye drops and oral medications right on schedule. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Izora was in such compassionate and capable hands. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Faye was an amazing sitter. Our Snowy was well loved and looked after. Faye is very flexible and understanding. She is a pet mom herself so it makes things so much easy. We left Snowy for 2 nights / 3 days; Snowy had so much fun. We will definitely use Faye's services in the future and highly recommend her if you are from the Oshawa area.
Qian was the most phenomenal sitter I could have possibly asked for. When I was looking on Rover I was concerned I wouldn’t find someone that could care for my girl as much as I do, but I was so wrong. Qian sent me tons of updates with photos, reassuring me the entire time as this was my first time being away from my girl. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog that is kind, attentive and caring, I could not recommend Qian enough. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
Kazi is an amazing dog sitter. Our Rosie always comes back from her home very healthy and happy. We know we can trust our beloved fur baby in the hands of someone so kind and compassionate towards animals. Kazi gives multiple updates and pictures of our dog during the time she is with the sitter. We can rest assured that all is well and that Rosie is in good care. 5 stars for a wonderful experience.
I’m so glad I booked with Noor! My cat was comfortable with her immediately, I think she was really drawn to her calm demeanour. Noor sent photos and updates so I could see that my baby was happy and in good hands, which made me feel so much better about leaving her. She even went out of her way to help us with medication! I would definitely book with her again if the opportunity arose. Thanks, Noor :)
This was Axel’s first time boarding with Kayla - Lea. She did a great job with him. The pictures she sent of him while we were away, gave us peace of mind because he looked quite comfortable and happy. He boarded with her picked for 8 days. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services in the future.
