“Falin looked after our cat while we were away for two weeks. She kept in constant communication, providing helpful updates and making sure everything was okay with both our pet and our house. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I've been a pet owner since my early teens and now in my 50's I want to give back the love that was shown to me from all of my fur babies. I have a comfortable home with a large fenced in backyard. I walk 2-4km daily and work part time from home. I can dedicate full days and nights to your baby while giving lots of hugs and kisses. I work part time from home and have the entire day and night to dedicate to a fur baby. I have a large fenced-in backyard and also take 2km walks daily. I have a large fenced-in backyard. No other pets in my home so your fur baby will be my main priority during his/her stay. I take 2 km walks daily and allow the pet to roam freely around my home. They can sit on the couch in the family room so we can snuggle while watching tv at night.
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.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities and quirks. My own dog is a certified Therapy Dog, so I’ve put time into learning how to understand and work with dogs—not just love them. I’ve completed dog training with my own pup, including a course focused specifically on dog behaviour. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Basically, I’m here because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—and getting paid to be around animals is a pretty great arrangement. 🩷 I’m happiest when life is a mix of staying busy and having some time to slow down. I’m easygoing, responsible, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I’m excited to use some of my extra time to do something I love while helping out other pet owners when they need an extra hand. I will take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication, house rules, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal is different, so I let them set the pace and give them time to become comfortable with me. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it\.
“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!!”

“Hongli was great with our cat tiki. She provided us with daily updates and pictures. Flexible drop off and pickup. Would recommend and we'll use her services again! Thank you!”
“Sam was fantastic! She was wonderful with our kitties, they warmed up to her right away. The regular updates with pictures were a very nice touch. We will definitely be asking her to watch them the next time we go away. Thanks again Sam!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.
About: Young and old. Short ones, tall ones, furry ones, and even bald ones! As a child and to this day, I’ve cared for a variety of fur-babies, including my own. Lots of walks, playtime, plus food and treats. The best time is always when one is having fun outside playing fetch or even simply chilling on the couch with your best-canine-friend! I’m currently semi-retired and will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for housesitting(Mon-Wed-Fri), walking (Mon-Wed-Fri) and overnight (Mon though to Fri). When caring for your pet in your home, will follow the routine of your fur-baby, including medication, if needed. If your pet is chill, we will chill. If your pet wants to walk and play, ok!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peterborough
Brooklyne always does a great job with Maple. We loved getting photos and videos while we were away, and they always make sure to give Maple some play time. Maple was happy and well cared for, and we'd of course book Brooklyne again or recommend them to anyone looking for a cat sitter.
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!"

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
