“Gretel did daily drop-ins for my cat while I was out of town. I got daily pics and she even cleaned up the litter that my cat's fluffy feets track down the hallway. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Brooklyne was great when looking after our cat, Flynn! He was comfortable with her right away and we so appreciate the time she spent with him. Would love to have her back!”
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.
“Took excellent care of our home and our two cats! She did everything we asked of her and more. Took amazing photos so we could see them while we were away and left us detailed reports of how they were doing. Will be for sure booking in the future!”
“Kylie was very attentive and caring with our two cats. We were very happy with her great communication and attention to detail. Overall we had a great experience with her and would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I recently moved from Brazil to Peterborough and have always had a deep love for animals. Back in Brazil, I volunteered at local animal shelters, gaining valuable experience caring for both cats and dogs. Now, I continue my volunteer work at the Peterborough Humane Society, helping ensure pets are happy and well cared for. I’m naturally more of a cat person, but I truly enjoy spending time with dogs as well. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule! I’m generally available: Weekdays: mornings and afternoons Weekends: full day availability I can accommodate regular dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays with prior notice. I love spending time with pets and can adjust my schedule to meet their needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, comfortable, and loving environment for all animals in my care. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to following your instructions closely, so you can feel confident that your furry friend is safe and happy while you’re away.
“This was my first time using a pet sitter for my very timid cat. With Rebecca's patient and caring attention, my cat was happy and healthy. I am very pleased with this experience and would definitely recommend Rebecca and would book her again.”
“Gurleen house sat our elderly cat Prince for 3 days. She did a wonderful job. House was kept clean and Prince was well looked after. Gurleen does not have her own means of transportation so is reliant on family for drives which meant she was late for the meet and greet and the actual booking. In the future we will use Gurleen however we will pick her up and drop her off to ensure she is on time. Thanks for the great care you gave Prince.”
About: Your furry friend's happiness is my top priority! With years of experience, I specialize in dog walking, puppy care, and dog and cat sitting. Allow me take your dog on their next adventure! I am currently in school, which leaves most of my days open. This allows me to be flexible with my time and prioritize your pup. Your dog's safety and well-being is extremely important to me. I ensure that each walk is tailored to your dog's needs, whether that's a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog. I provide water, treats, and plenty of love to keep your furry friend happy and healthy.
“Karen was very accommodating with the timing for picking up/dropping off our cat Shirley. After only two nights Shirley felt comfortable enough to join Karen on her bed. To me, this speaks volumes!”
“Thank you for caring for our sweet and spicy kitty, Alice! The notes and photos you sent each day really helped ease my mind while missing my girl. We will happily call on you again when we need per care!”
About: Thank you for reading over my page! I've grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. And I love all animals. I'm most familiar with poodles, chow chows, and frenchies, but love all the funny and lovable characteristics every individual dog or cat possesses. I also have extensive experience with reactive dogs, and can assist those who need walks with low interaction, special needs, training, etc. Looking to help care for your little loved ones, and can also offer some special needs such as medication administration. I am most interested in house/pet sitting over weekdays and weekends. I can also accommodate last minute demands. Dog walking/hiking, drop-ins. All are welcome! Can't wait to meet you! My schedule is generally fairly open, except for school drop off and pick up during the school season. If your furry friend needs constant, uninterrupted care, please let me know and I will advise whether that will be possible. Your pets are your family, and I understand that. When I am caring for your pet I will always treat them with the utmost care and love, making sure any special needs or wants are met 100% of the time.

Mason was great during my second booking. Knowing that the cats were well-cared for when I was away took away the stress, and made travelling without them much easier. Mason showed up for visits on time, and made sure to confirm that a different time for one day was okay before I booked. He will be my go-to for cat sitting on Rover!
Lileigh was kind, personable and very reassuring recognizing my discomfort leaving my Cat "Oliver". I was provided comforting messages & photos.... this was my first time booking with Rover & will absolutely not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you so much!!
I can't recommend Maggie enough! She took wonderful care of our three cats, including one who needs daily medication and usually hides from new people. Maggie was so kind, attentive, and punctual for every visit. Her daily report cards and photos brought us so much joy and peace of mind while we were away. If you're looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter, Maggie is the best!"
Sienna was such an amazing sitter! My two kitties were super happy! She took a bunch of pictures and always let me know what she had done during the visit (play,feed,litter,etc). She was super easy to coordinate with as well! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
