Doug and Janice are lovely. They checked in on my cats while I was away for Christmas and took care of feeding and medications (pills). I really appreciated the easy communication with them and will definitely reach out to them the next time I go away.

About: While new to Rover, I bring decades of real-life experience caring for both animals and homes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how unique each animal’s personality can be—from playful and social to more independent, shy or sensitive. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe and respected and I take time to read their cues and build trust at their pace. I’m comfortable supporting puppies, adult and senior pets, as well as special-needs animals, including administering medication and offering gentle, attentive care. With a calm, grounded presence, I help pets feel at ease while keeping their routines consistent in their own familiar space. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care, and I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach—so both you and your furry-friend can feel comfortable and at ease. As someone who is location-independent and runs a remote Wholistic Wellness business. I have the flexibility to travel and spend meaningful time with animals in their home. I create a calm, safe environment by following your pet’s routine, offering attentive care and helping them feel secure, settled and supported in your home.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have experience with puppies and basic training, as well as supporting senior dogs with more complex care such as feeding routines, supplements and medication schedules. Dogs have always been part of my life, and today our own dog is a cherished member of our family and my son’s best friend. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely enjoy, rain or shine. I offer walks ranging from 15 to 60 minutes and tailor each outing to suit your dog’s breed, age, and energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I provide dependable drop-in visits for potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, perfect for busy workdays or when you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Services are available both weekdays and weekends. I take your dog's safety, comfort, and well being very seriously. During walks and visits, I closely monitor their behaviour, energy levels, and surroundings to ensure they are safe, happy, and stress-free. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to send photos and text updates during our time together. I also welcome a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog can feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I have been in the pet care business for over 10 years. From doggie walks to overnight stays. I understand what it takes to be a loving and responsible care giver as I have needed to have a person care for my pets when I'm away. We all need to feel the confidence when putting the trust into a person who will be caring for our family members. Communication is key with regular updates. I am retired so I make my own hours. I am available for most days other than my time away. Only looking to book locally . Making sure I understand all the pet care details, having them written down to make sure all is being done correctly. Regular communication between the parties.

This was our first time using a dog sitter...ever. I was very nervous about leaving our babies with a stranger. I was very glad to do a meet and greet before hand and knew right away that Jilly would be perfect. I felt confident that they were with some who would take really good care of them. We were able to chat, check in. She sent me some photos. I know for sure I will use her again.

So happy that I found Rhaya to look after my cats while I was away on vacation! One is 18 and requires his meds and like a pro she made sure he got them. He also took quite the liking to her;) The other is very shy, an indoor/outdoor and she somehow managed to get her to come around to eat. Very rare with people she doesn't know! Upon meeting Rhaya I knew right away that she could be totally trusted and that my cats would be in the best hands. I had no hesitation in just leaving a key for her and it was so nice to get a quick message update daily after each visit. As well a few cute pics over the time period:) Professional, reliable and caring, I highly recommend her to all other pet owners. So grateful to have found my new regular cat sitter🙏

My main goal is to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Making sure your pets have what they need and are safe is the top priority for me and I’ll do what I can to achieve that. I am currently working a full-time job 8hrs a day, Friday-Tuesday. This means potty breaks every 8+ hours. While I'm off I have full availability for all adventures needed to keep your pets satisfied! Coming into someone else's home my priorities are to make sure I'm following any house rules, and keeping to the schedule for your pets to stay happy and comfortable while your away.

About: Hi, I’m Summer! I love getting dogs out for real walks — fresh air, movement, and a chance to explore. Whether your pup needs a long adventure, a steady-paced stroll, or just a reliable check-in during your busy day, I show up with care and attention every time. I’m easygoing, communicative, and great with all personalities — from shy cats to high-energy pups. Every visit comes with clear updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pets deserve someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I’m here to make their day better, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Wednesday, which gives me plenty of flexibility for weekday walks and drop-ins around my shifts, as well as full availability on Thursdays, Fridays, and sometimes weekends. I love building my days around getting outside, moving, and spending time with animals, so adding walks and check-ins is something I genuinely look forward to. I keep a consistent schedule and always make sure pets get the time and attention they need without rushing. I care for pets in my clients’ homes in a way that keeps their routine consistent, calm, and stress-free. During drop-ins, I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter care, bathroom breaks, medications, and whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable. I always move at the pet’s pace, especially with shy cats, puppies, or seniors, and make sure they feel safe before interacting. For dog walks, I focus on giving them a good, structured walk with plenty of sniffing and stimulation. I’m attentive to their body language, energy, and comfort level, and I always keep safety as the top priority. I respect your home the same way I’d want someone to respect mine — clean, careful, and mindful. After every visit, you’ll receive a detailed update and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Kelly was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.

About: I have owned one dog and a few cats over the years. Currently, i have no pets as we had to put our dogs of 18 years down last year. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I am available most days and am comfortable walking your dog in any weather condition. I am a reliable person who always follows through with her commitments and goes above and beyond. I also have a lot of experience with cats as I had them all of my life growing up. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc. I look forward to working with your fur baby. I work from home so I am able to let dogs outside in our fenced dog run whenever needed if boarding with me. I can also come to your house to pick up for walks I have two fenced in dog runs on the property and a big side yard (unfenced). I am able to take your dog to a number of trails and parks. We also have a large unfinished basement where my office is located so I spend most of my time there during the day

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since I was a child and always put in the extra time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I have successfully helped puppies complete puppy training and offer caring support to elderly animals and those with special medical needs. I do contract work and have a lot of time off so can be with your pets for extended amounts of time. I live in the forest close to a provincial park I visit regularly and can provide long nature walks for your dogs. While I don't currently have any of my own pets, at the moment, I will enthusiastically cherish the time I get to spend with yours!

Everything went great with Rana. She was very reliable and took excellent care of my cats while I was away. I was a little nervous to leave my boys only a few months after our big move to the Island, but Rana was very communicative with me and went the extra mile to ensure my cats were well looked after. This gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Rana!
