About: I have always had a love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I am patient, reliable, and caring, and I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities, whether they are playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or just looking for some calm company. I am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they are my own. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular potty breaks, playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I can easily fit their routine into my day. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible scheduling whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level, use positive reinforcement, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the same respect I would expect for mine.
“Mason is an exceptional sitter! I entrusted my dogs and cat to his care, and he worked well with them. He was on time and kept communication open with me if there was going to be a timing issue. Followed instructions well. Considerate. I recommend his pet sitting services.”
“Brooklyne takes amazing care of our cat Maple and even plays with her every time they visit. Her updates on how Maple is doing are always detailed and with great photos attached. Maple has really opened up to them with each visit and we would highly recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter to use Brooklyne!”
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.
“Gretel is very friendly, reliable and kept my kitty very comfortable. I contacted Gretel on very short notice due to a family emergency. She immediately got back to me and made herself available for an initial interview. She was very attentive and very concerned about getting all the instructions for my kitty correct. While I was away she kept me informed and sent me videos and photos after all her appointments. I feel very lucky to leave my kitty in Gretel’s care and highly recommend her. I will definitely rely on her great service in the future. Thank you very much Gretel.”
“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!”
“Zoe was awesome! She did a great job looking after our cats and bearded dragon. Each day we would look forward to her updates and photos. We will definitely use Zoe again in the future. Thank you Zoe for watching our animals!”
“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!”
“Benjamin helped us out when we had a last minute booking for our older pup and he treated her with such care and thought. Lots of communication, photos and we felt very much at ease knowing he was taking her as if she were his own. Thanks so much!!”
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.
About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.
“Maggie took care of our three kitties and fish tanks while we were away. The detailed daily updates and photos were a great way to out our kid at ease. Maggie did a fantastic job and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again”
“Vanessa was awesome! She cared for our cat Luna while we were away, providing lots of updates & photos each visit. We had a last minute change to our pet care and Vanessa was able and willing to help us out with only a few days notice. We really appreciated her stepping up to help us and for being so loving to our sweet Luna. Highly recommend! We will definitely book Vanessa again in the future :)”
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.

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!!
Shreema took amazing care of my cat Shuggie. He NEVER comes out for strangers but he came out for her and was comfortable and affectionate! I truly believe she's a cat whisperer. I recommend her to anyone who wants a sweet, compassionate person to care for their animals, especially cats who are shy and skittish like my boy. 11/10 will be asking her to check on Shuggie in the future 😻
Brianna took fantastic care of our senior cat while we were gone for the August long weekend. She checked in on time every day and gave great updates, which meant we could just enjoy our time away knowing that our cat was being well looked after. We would absolutely book with Brianna again!

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.
