“We recently went on a two week vacation and needed drop in visits for our cats (and hamster haha). This was our first time using Rover and they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable before we left. Susan and Robin were absolutely amazing and we will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

About: We have had pets our entire life. Now retired and travel a few months a year, so currently without a pet because of our travels. Missing the love of our own pets (Scruffy lived to 17 and Cedes lived to 16). So we have decided that the love of your pets, would be lovely and would benefit all involved. We live 2 blocks from the beach, which gives the dogs a great run and or swim permitting of course :) My wife and I are both retired and walk to the beach everyday, would be nice to have a dog to walk with us. For the evenings it would be nice to cuddle up to a dog or cat. We live on the bottom floor of a pet friendly building, with access to a yard. We do have a wrap around deck with a 2 foot brick wall/planter that is gated to large partially fenced yard. Pics attached. We both have knowledge of caring for both dogs and cats.

“Ally has a natural calm presence that helped my two dogs feel happy and comfortable during their 2 visits from Ally. Ally was available on short notice giving my family some much needed time together in the city. I definitely recommend her for dog care. ?”

About: As a mother-daughter duo, we genuinely love dogs and spending time outdoors. We’re often out on peaceful nature walks, so it’s a joy to bring some furry friends along for exercise, fresh air, and extra attention. Your pup will be treated with care, patience, and plenty of love. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being available to support people with their pets, whether it’s during work hours, weekends, or while they’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to adapt to different needs or routines. My priority is always to make pets feel calm, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I take the time to understand their unique needs and routines so they can feel as comfortable and secure as possible in your absence.

Love to spend time with the dogs while at home watch TV I walk the dogs and take them out regularly. I spend time playing with the dogs. I make sure their needs are met when it comes to feeding them or meeting any special needs that they owners require.

About: My love for animals has equipped me with years of experience from puppies to senior dogs and cats. I have cared for pets with anxiety, allergies, behavioural issues, etc and am confident with all sizes and breeds of dog. I have some familiarity with cats and other small animals as family and friends beloved pets. I am currently working part-time so have lots of free time to check in and/or go for walks or hikes with pets. I am available most days, give me a shout and we can work out a time that works best for everyone. I treat every pet I meet like it's my own beloved pet. I give animals space and time to feel comfortable around me before I interact with them. Im confident with on and off leash walks and hikes. I am knowledgeable in basic dog first aid but am not certified yet. My pet care is to be provided in your homes with your equipment and care instructions.

“Danielle has an amazing way of bringing our the playfulness of our cat. She is dependable and does a great job for us. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting position.”

“Rhaya did a fantastic job looking after my little girl Lucy while I was away for a week. She was punctual on her visits and followed my instructions to the letter with feeding times, fresh water changes and litter box cleaning. She played with Lucy and kept her company twice a day which I was so grateful for. Rhaya went out of her way to ensure Lucy was safe, healthy and entertained so as to not feel lonely. She was quick to send photos and updates to ease my mind and always briefed me daily on how she was doing ie.feeding, bathroom and her overall moods. I am very pleased with Rhaya, she was professional and very caring. I would recommend Rhaya to anyone looking for a sitter for their family member while away, they would be in good hands.”

About: I've cared for a few dogs over the last several years. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, house and love their dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am free almost every afternoon and evening. Weekends after 1pm and Tuesday to Thursday I'm available all day. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pup, or take her for her walks. My yard is fenced, but my cats are territorial so I couldn't invite your pups over.

About: I am available full time to take care of your pets needs, get to know them and make sure their routine is maintained as smoothly as possible while you're away. I have cared for senior cats and dogs, administering medication hourly/daily, I have done injections for insulin, as well as blood glucose monitoring in cats. Growing up my mom had 14 cats, I have noticed, managed and treated many different illnesses and diseases, palliative care along these years. On my father's side we had dogs, from big malamute mutt mixes to Pomeranians, there was and is always one in the family so I am also comfortable with, and have experience with and a deep love for all dogs. I love being outdoors and exploring local trails, rivers and ocean spots, and have walked dogs in all terrain. I am comfortable adapting to others schedules and needs, and learning you and your dogs commands. I will work diligently to ensure your pet is comfortable and maintains any routine or schedule while you are away. It is important to me that your pet feels at home and comfortable, and I will do what I can to ensure great care. My beloved cat of 22 years, Junior passed away recently and this is a way to channel some of my love for animals 😊❤️ I am available to take care of your pets needs, all day everyday! Anything from going for walks, a simple check in and replenish bowls, to having a sleepover with your furry friend. I love a secure home, it is important to me to keep your pet safe and secure with any keys or alarm systems you have in place and I will learn any system you have in place. I am comfortable with cameras in the home and on the property as I know it is important to have home security. I am happy to communicate as much or as little as you need, with daily check ins or photos, or video calls.

“Hannah provided amazing home visits for my cat while I was away for 10 days. I appreciated her messages/updates each time she came over; because of this and her obvious genuine love of animals, I wasnt worried about my pet at all and was able to relax fully while away which was lovely. On my return, my cat was happy and didnt seem as lonely as he has on previous trips. Can't recommend Hannah highly enough!”

“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.”

About: I am a fitness enthusiast with a lifetime's experience being around and caring for horses, chickens, dogs and cats. It is so important to me that our furry friends get outside and get active. I have a deep love for large canines, and specialize in getting them their much needed exercise. There is no dog too big or too energetic for me! I am available most weekends, and weekday evenings after 4pm. Some early morning slots available pending discussion. Rain or shine, I will be there when you need me. Currently I am in a small detached suite, without a fenced yard. So care, exercise and play will take place in community spaces such as parks, fields and trails. I have a 2022 Kia Sportage, so pet transport is no problem for me.

“Great cat sitter. Good to know cats were in good hands while we were away.”
