“Booked last minute drop in visits for my 3 month old, energetic kitten. Communication was great with thorough messages beforehand and updates and photos during the scheduled visits! Very happy to have met a reliable sitter nearby for Badger. Thank you!”
“Logan was very quick and easy to communicate with. Was a nice companion for my dog Rudy to get to know and now has another reliable human that will take him on his daily need of long walks or a swim when it's hot.”
About: With experience from working at Ren’s Pets and caring for my own dog since I was 12, I have a deep understanding of pet needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, attentive, and loving care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With mostly online classes and just one in-person class on Wednesdays, I’m available throughout the week to walk, play with, and care for pups whenever needed! I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I ensure a clean, secure, and stress-free space. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and always use positive reinforcement. Pets in my care receive patience, love, and a routine that keeps them happy and relaxed.
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.

“Mason was prompt in replying to messages and made this process a breeze. He was great with the cats during his drop-in visits, and they were well taken care of by the time I returned. I would absolutely recommend Mason for your cat-care needs!”
“Brooklyn is so great with our cat Maple and always sends us plenty of photos and videos with their check in notes. We continue to have nothing but great experiences with them and would highly recommend them to people looking for cat a check ins!”
About: I’ve had pets in my home all of my life, but have 3 of my own pets currently - a dog, a cat, and a ball python. I’ve trained both my dog and cat, and have helped family members with training puppies in the past and currently. I’ve done drop in visits for many friends, family, and neighbours over the years. I have experience administering both oral and topical medications for pets, and have always paid attention to every small instruction provided by vets. Knowing how much my pets mean to me, I’m more than happy to follow and respect any pet owners preferences and instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet individually, as I know and respect that they all have different needs, preferences, and boundaries. I work full time Monday - Friday 8:30 - 5:30, but am available before and after work and on most weekends and holidays. I’m quite flexible and will do what I can to make any appointment work! I have a black lab, cane corso mix, who just turned 4 years old, as well as a 3 year old cat. I have a fenced in yard, and lots of space behind my house for dogs to run freely if they are trained off-leash, but can always walk them with a leash as well. For visits to the pet owners home, any instructions will be followed closely. I am an honest, diligent person, and am more than happy to meet pet owners prior to taking on any job.
“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!”
“Falin did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. Our kitty can be a bit standoff-ish, and Falin made sure to respect her space while also making sure she was well cared for. Thanks Falin!”

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 dog, and can assist those who need walks with low interaction, special needs, training, etc. I currently work part time as a Law Clerk. This is why I am able to provide almost constant care in your home, dog walks, and whatever else you may need for your furry family members. 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! Because I work part time 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.
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life and had multiple dogs as pets at once since a child. I have now had two dogs from puppy stage. I currently have a dog that is over 2 years old. I also took care of multiple sled dogs for many years. Daily I walk my dog four times a day. I work a hybrid job and am able to come home on my lunch and sometimes more then that a day. I have one dog to keep your dog entertained I also have a crate if need be. My dog currently is loose at all times. I live in a apartment and take my dog out for walks multiple times a day.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peterborough
This was our first time using a pet sitter and using Rover. Sheila made it super easy for us, even with us adding an extra night of our vacation and needing two extra visits last minute. We have three cats, one needed medication twice a day, and one is a scaredy cat! After several visits Sheila sent a photo of my cowardly kitty sitting on her lap! That on its own is a positive review ❤️
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!!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
