“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.

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.

“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!”

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.

“Rana was absolutely lovely, my pup look super happy in the pictures she sent me (which was so great to see). I highly recommend Rana and will happily use her services again.”

“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.”

“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.”

Kenzie M.

“Janean was Amazing!!! She took excellent care of our Mr. Meowzers! She was professional and responsive. She came for a meet and greet beforehand. Our cat loved her company and was excited to see her everyday. Excellent care !! Highly recommended!!”

About: I’m a professional animal trainer with 8 years of experience working with animals of all kinds—from exotic species to dogs. I’m deeply passionate about animal care and welfare. I can confidently provide basic pet vet care, administer medications, and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and enriched while you're away. I work full-time most weekdays but am available right after work for evening visits or walks, and I’m fully open on Sundays and Mondays. I make time every day to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for, just like they’re my own. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on creating a safe, familiar environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I provide enrichment through play, feed according to their routine, administer medications as needed, and can handle basic vet care. Most importantly, I offer plenty of cuddles, affection, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality.

About: Hi love pets, and all kinds not just dogs, I have no problem checking in on any other pets in your house, (fish, lizards, mice, rats, etc!) I’ve always had animals in my life. 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: I am a huge dog lover! I have had dogs my whole life and am super comfortable around them. I've walked dogs on and off for the past 9 years, and I have had my own rescue pooch for 7 years now. I would be more than happy to walk/board your dog when I am available too :) I have a part time job working as a birth and postpartum doula. Needless to say, I am passionate about supporting families; and your furry friend is part of that family. I would love to fill my free time taking care of your pooch. My days can be inconsistent, but if it works with your needs, then count me in! I have a more gentle approach when taking care of dogs. With my dog being a rescue, I learned the importance of building trust and using a calm voice when training. I like to train using positive reinforcement with good treats.

“CHRISTY IS A CARING, PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER. Dutchess loved her. I was apprehensive leaving my cat for the first time, but after meeting Christy and observing how Dutchess took to Christy I felt so much better leaving her.”

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.
