“Elizabeth took great care of my girls. She did all their favourite things while come in for a visit. She kept me updated, and it put my mind at ease. Thank you again !”
“This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my boys, and Arlene was absolutely amazing. My cat Tybalt never goes to anyone he doesn’t know, yet he was in her lap right away. I couldn’t believe it! Arlene went above and beyond my expectations. She was extremely communicative, left our home in perfect order, and sent wonderful photos of my precious boys. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Samantha was very friendly and professional. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were well taken care of. She even offered to take out the garbage for us! Would definitely recommend!!”
About: Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting for 20 years. I absolutely love having the energy of a dog around and getting to know all their personalities. I work from home, running my own business so I have 100% flexibility and freedom when it comes to caring and playing with pups during the day. I have two girls (between ages of 6-9) who are at school during the day and spend every other weekend away at their dad’s. I have a fenced backyard that opens up to my parking lane, which can be closed with a fabric gate. There are both grassy and pavement areas and a covered bungalo shelter depending on their preferences. I always have toys on site to play with pups.
“Catherine is a caring and patient sitter. I have a shy cat who wouldn’t come out to visitors until they spend half a day around him. Catherine was able to help him come out of his shell after two visits. Her love, patience and expertise are much appreciated! I came home with a healthy and happy cat. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents, especially those with shy pets.”
“Jenna is coming to our place since February twoce a week.. I just absolutely love the fact that she sending us deetailed updates with photos after every visit. Coco gets excited every time I mention her name. When Jenna is around I'm very happy and comfortable that my pet is in good hands. Thank you Jenna for everything you do. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend Jenna ..”
“Faye was amazing! She did drop in visits for my 2 cats and it went so well- she updated me each visit, sent photos and provided detailed updates. I will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I got my first cat when I was 10, and I’ve taken care of cats ever since. I currently have 3 kitties that are 13, 8, and 3. My sister also has a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who I have helped care for since he was a puppy. We have been on many hike adventures, had too many slumber parties to count, and I’ve even picked him up and cared for him post surgery. I am an animal lover, kind person, and can follow instruction. I genuinely care about animals and have deep respect for the bond one has with their beloved pet. I’m currently working part time, usually in the mornings. I can check in on your animals any day , but can only accept a pet visit that fits around my work schedule. I will try my best to match with the schedule you are looking for. I will follow all instruction I am given to care for your pet in your home and will lead with respect, attention to detail, and the upmost care.
“She was amazing and helped with everything I needed. Took lots of pictures of my cats too and even offered to clean up their litter a bit!! I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to any prospective clients!!”
“Julia was amazing with my two babies, autumn and winter. Autumn, who’s usually very shy around strangers, came out of her shell with Julia and was fairly comfortable with her. This was a big win for us. I was nervous leaving my house and kids with a stranger but Julia was not only professional but also kept an eye out for anything amiss with the house. Autumn and Winter were happy and active with her. I would totally recommend Julia to anyone looking for personalised care for their fur babies.”
“Erica was amazing with our two nervous pups, they warmed up to her very quickly! She was very communicative each visit, and took great photos of the dogs while she was here :) Thanks again, Erica!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.
About: Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy rescue, or a senior pet with special needs, I bring patience, care, and genuine love to every visit. ✔️ Experience with puppies ✔️ Gentle care for senior pets (medication, slow walks, comfort care) ✔️ Reliable, calm, and respectful of your pet’s unique personality ✔️ Daily updates, pics, and peace of mind for you 💛 Working from home means I get to mix cuddles with coffee breaks. 🐾 Pet care fits into my routine naturally—I’m here for the feedings, playtime, naps, and little tail-wagging check-ins throughout the day. 💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort come first—always. 🐾 At my home, pets enjoy a secure, closed-door environment with a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or quiet space for shy pets, I make sure they feel right at home. Every pet is treated like family—with love, patience, and lots of tail wags. 💛
“Just an overall amazing experience with prompt service and professionalism from Dibakar. I contacted Him while I was away and he was able to accommodate to my schedule to complete a few visits per week, sent photos, showed my cats some love and did a great job cleaning up! Highly recommend and will definitely have Dibakar as my go-to!”
“We are very thankful to Kiana for taking such good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. We had her stop in twice a day for 1 hour drop in visits to do their breakfast and dinner. She gave great updates after each visit along with some pictures which we loved seeing. Our oldest cat has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day, he also happens to be a bit of a grump sometimes. Kiana was great with him and didn’t miss a single dose which put our minds at ease while away. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kitties while away.”

Faye was absolutely incredible, and consider ourselves blessed to have found her. Our kitties Pickles and Ozzy took to her immediately and looked so good upon return from our 2-week vacation. We would have Faye again in a heartbeat, and look forward to having her care for our cats again in the future. Five stars, easily earned.
Nicki is amazing, and we will definitely be booking with her again in future! Nicki was very friendly and professional during our meet and greet, and our cat immediately warmed up to her. Communication was amazing throughout our time away from home, Nicki followed instructions perfectly, and we really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures following each drop in visit. It was such a relief to know our kitty was being so well looked after while we were away!! Thank you, Nicki!!
Julia was amazing with my two babies, autumn and winter. Autumn, who’s usually very shy around strangers, came out of her shell with Julia and was fairly comfortable with her. This was a big win for us. I was nervous leaving my house and kids with a stranger but Julia was not only professional but also kept an eye out for anything amiss with the house. Autumn and Winter were happy and active with her. I would totally recommend Julia to anyone looking for personalised care for their fur babies.
Kiana was great with my two cats. She took great care of them while we were away for 2 weeks and I cannot recommend her enough. Her prompt communication and daily updates were very much appreciated. Thank you so much Kiana for putting us at ease while we were away. Until next time 😊
I naturally liked Natasha right from the start and my shy dogs were automatically drawn to her. She was very reliable, responsible, understood my concerns, and followed instructions perfectly. I was able to relax knowing my dogs were well taken care of and secure. Finding Natasha was such a blessing!
