“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:)”

“Kenzo had a great time with Laura. I messed up my times, and she was flexible around that. I also got back much later due to road closures and the results of Sunday's monsoon. She took him for lots of walks and looked after him really well.”

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.

About: Hi there! My name is Tera, I am a responsible young adult looking to spend time with some more critters! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have been looking after my clients/neighbors/friends/colleges animals for about 10 years. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and all breeds but I am not limited to just dogs. I have experience with cats, and even horses! I will go above and beyond to keep your pet healthy and happy during our time together :) I can't wait to meet them! In my free time I love exploring the outdoors and getting fresh air, as well as hanging out indoors and would love to share that experience with your pet! I understand each pet is different so I will do my very best to follow their individual and unique care routines! Whatever makes your pet more comfortable around me the better:)

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! Currently, I am on a hiatus from work and can be available for your furry friends any day of the week! Usually, I work Monday-Friday 9-5 but also have the opportunity to work from home somedays so I can be more available to your pet! I can also do check-ins on lunches or breaks. 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!

“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 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.

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.

“I am so so happy we found Jessica!! She was kind, loving with our puppy and so respectful of us and our home!! We will 1000% be calling her again! So so grateful we found someone we can trust!!!”

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’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.

“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 ??”

“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.”
