“Angie did a great job looking after all of our fur babies including our most sensitive boy. She kept in touch as needed and sent photos which we really appreciated. Would definitely have Angie back again to look after the farm:)”

“We were most pleased with our sitter Laura. This was our 1st time dong anything of the this sort & Laura made the experience a very positive one. She gave exceptional care to Bella. She warmed up to Laura right away at our 1st meet & greet & while we were away she gave us Am & Pm reports along with pics! When in need again we luv to have Laura come back. If lucky enough to have Laura looking after your pet, I can assure you that she gives great care and attention to all there needs!”

About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.

“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!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.

“Vanessa took great care of our elderly dog and our cat while we were away. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and we knew they were in good, caring hands.”

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.

“Rhonda took great care of our kitty and home. She communicated promptly if she had questions or concerns and sent daily photos. She left the house in spotless condition! Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Mature, professional and thorough - Avery watched our two dogs Leia and Kygo while she house-sat for us last weekend. One is anxious and the other can be a bit of a handful, so I was cautious with who I chose to leave them with. Avery took the time to ask so many questions, and get to know them and how to best care for them. She approached the job with compassion and it was clear she is extremely knowledgeable and comfortable with dogs. We have already rebooked a few more weekends with her for this summer- would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Avery, for making our trip away from home less stressful. Coming home to my happy and healthy babies was one of the best parts of the trip. :)”

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 currently work at a 24-hour veterinary hospital on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (12-hour shifts) and often have flexible or “odd hour” availability. 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.

I make sure every dog in my care is happy, safe, and enriched. I provide love and attention as if they were my own pets, while also tailoring care to each dog’s individual needs, meaning understanding their triggers, fears, and unique personality. I keep them engaged with fun activities, walks, and playtime, and I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved throughout their time with me.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and respect for animals, paired with a calm, reliable presence that pets quickly trust. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means energetic walks for dogs or quiet love for shy cats. I’m detail oriented, communicative, and always ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. My experience includes senior pets, new borns, medication administration, and nervous animals who need extra patience. I treat every pet like family and take pride in creating a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and with my part-time work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I structure my days around their needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening playtime and cuddles. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. My home is pet friendly, clean, and fully prepared for furry guests, with a secure, fenced in yard perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and plenty of space to roam. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

“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!”

“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.”

“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! :)”

“This was the second time we had Andrea stay with our 3 dogs and cat, this time for 7days. She gave me daily updates and when she left our house was left in great, clean condition. Nice to come home to!”

“My husband and I travelled to the Dominican Republic for a week, and Grace stayed with our 15-year-old cat, Jersey. Grace sent pictures or videos a couple of time each day and I could tell Jersey was comfortable and all of his routines were being followed. Our home was spotless when we returned and the peace of mind Grace provided us while we were away was priceless . We would highly recommend Grace, and will certainly be reaching out to her again when we travel next.”
