House Sitting Otonabee-South Monaghan

“Angie as always did a great job managing our small zoo while we were away for 6 nights. This time we unfortunately had a very sick cat to leave behind and she did a wonderful job caring for him and keeping us posted on his status which was very reassuring and appreciated:)”

“This was my first time leaving Bug for the day with someone and Laura was amazing with him! I was very nervous leaving him and she did a great job handling my nerves as well! She sent me pictures and video of their activities and responded promptly any time I checked in. I came home to a happy guy who had clearly settled well with her and got some extra potty breaks, to boot! I highly recommend Laura for her kindness, patience and professionalism.”

About: I’m a Veterinary/Tech Assistant with 15 years of experience, including doggy daycare, special-needs pets, and medical care. I’m very comfortable with pets who require extra support—oral medications, insulin injections, sub-Q fluids, and complex care plans. I’ve personally cared for my own diabetic and kidney/thyroid/heart-failure cats, so medical routines are second nature to me. I treat every pet like my own and always keep them on their regular schedule with lots of love, playtime, enrichment, and safe, structured walks. You’ll get plenty of photo updates so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. I’m comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. In case of an emergency, I’m medically trained to stay calm and act quickly and appropriately. I’d love to meet your pets and give them the comfort, safety, and care they deserve. 🫶🏻 I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to let out, spend time or play with your fur baby during the day or on the weekends! I can work my part time work around yours and your fur babies needs! I do my best to keep everything the exact same as their daily life with you, I treat every pet like my own and follow your routine exactly - feeding, meds, comfort, and enrichment. Walks are always done with secure gear and safe routes, and in your home I do a quick safety check, refresh water, tidy up, and make sure everything is locked and calm before I leave. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while giving you total peace of mind.

“Ozzy seemed very happy after his days with Jessica. Good and prompt communication. Felt at ease having her in my home. Will be happy to have Jessica back again!”

“We are so happy to have found Avery! We needed a last minute house sitter for our destructive German Shepherd puppy and Avery confidently stepped up to help us. It was a slightly nerve racking for us as a family to have someone we didn’t know staying in our home and caring for our dog for a week and Avery was so skilled in putting us at ease through her communication, openness, and obvious care. Broccoli had a great, enriching week with her and we’re happy to have now found such great care for him.”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities and quirks. My own dog is a certified Therapy Dog, so I’ve put time into learning how to understand and work with dogs—not just love them. I’ve completed dog training with my own pup, including a course focused specifically on dog behaviour. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Basically, I’m here because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—and getting paid to be around animals is a pretty great arrangement. 🩷 I’m happiest when life is a mix of staying busy and having some time to slow down. I’m easygoing, responsible, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I’m excited to use some of my extra time to do something I love while helping out other pet owners when they need an extra hand. I will take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication, house rules, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal is different, so I let them set the pace and give them time to become comfortable with me. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it\.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and needs, including senior and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, oral medications, and injectable medications. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions because I know how important consistency can be, especially for pets who are anxious, elderly, or require medication. When your pet is with me, I want you to be able to relax knowing they’re being genuinely cared for—not simply checked on. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates, give them lots of attention, and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up beside me for some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 My schedule is quite flexible, which gives me plenty of opportunities to fit pet care into my day. I’m available on many weekends as well as throughout the week between classes, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. I know pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule, so I take agreed-upon feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, medications, and other routines seriously. If your pet needs a little extra time, patience, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide it. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else. Communication is really important to me, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, crates, household rules, behavioural quirks, and routines. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I know that being cared for by a new person can be overwhelming for some animals, so I’m happy to let shy or nervous pets approach me at their own pace. I’ll never force interaction, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to your pet’s personality. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual with your pet.

“My cats were in the Best care! One is a little more timid and she was in Cat Love right from the beginning of the stay. It was better than I could have hoped for. It was a relief to leave Cally and Pumpkin in care with someone who clearly loves cats. I highly recommend this service and site without hesitation and know you can leave your furry friends in caring hands and enjoy your time away! We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so very much!”

“Dayna is the best! Great communication, great with our pup, great at staying in touch and sending photos of willow having a time! We will use Dayna again and again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and bunnies my whole life. From shitzus to Neo Mastiffs/doge de Bordeaux’s, I have experience with many different dog breeds. I currently work on a rotating schedule as a social worker, but can be flexible with my schedule to provide care for your fur baby. I live in a house by myself, so your furbaby will have free range of two stories, or I can crate them if needed to.

“When you meet Cheryl, you will immediately see her love for dogs (animals). She was amazing with all 3 of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures. We will definitely be using Cheryl again ??”

About: I am a compassionate and attentive animal lover who’s had the pleasure of taking care of my own pets as well as many different breeds of my friend’s and families dogs and cats!

My goal is to give a loving, welcoming, engaging and fun environment for pets of all shapes and sizes! We will have a lot of fun spending time together going for walks, playing, getting lots of pets and cuddles!

“I had the pleasure of having Vanessa stay in my home for six days to care for my dog and two cats while I was travelling, and she did a fantastic job. From the start, Vanessa was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly wanted to make sure she got everything right, which I really appreciated. She has a very sweet and caring personality. Throughout my trip, Vanessa kept in touch with me consistently, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure I always felt at ease knowing my pets and home were in good hands. She was flexible, respectful, and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my animals. I would absolutely book with Vanessa again in the future. It means a lot to find someone dependable, kind, and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you again, Vanessa! I really appreciate you! :)”

About: Hi, my name is Monica! I am a mom of two and an animal lover who enjoys helping people feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for. Although I am new to rover, I have experience providing support to family, neighbours and previous employers with cats and dogs (including experience with larger breeds). I come to your house and spend time doing the things your dog loves the most, whether that’s going for a walk, playing fetch outside, or just getting some good ol’ belly rubs. Word on the pup street is that I provide the best scratches! As a parent, I know the importance of being dependable, communicative, and treating others' homes and loved ones with respect. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully so they can stay happy and comfortable in their usual routine. I, of course, also provide feeding and waste pick-up. I am looking forward to meeting you and your puppa-roo! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I currently have the capacity to take on check-ins and walks while maintaining a calm, unhurried approach with each visit. I make sure to plan my time so I can give each pet my full attention. I provide in-home care for dogs and cats, focusing on maintaining each pets routine in their own environment to minimize stress and support their comfort. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter or waste care, dog walks, play time and calm companionship tailored to each animals needs. I also offer care in my home, if needed, for caged or contained pets. In these cases, I provide a quiet, clean and stable environment with close attention to their established care routine.

“Kayleigh took great care of our dogs! She provided us with updates and tended to both of our dogs needs. We highly recommend Kayleigh as a sitter!”

“Jacob was calm and friendly and Yoshi really seemed to like him. We were away for 6.5 hours and came home to a happy, fed, and unstressed puppy. We would certainly have Jacob back to look after Yoshi and Tucker.”
