About: I have worked with all sorts of animals from porcupines to dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and my biggest passion. I have volunteered with rescues, worked at a wildlife rescue, have pet sit/walk and worked at the Alta vista animal hospital. I have a dog, 2 cats and a bunny at home and have cared for all sorts of pets. I am the mother of a dog, 2 cats and a bunny so my days are spent playing with my pets, nurturing them and running around the yard with my puppy. I go on walks with my dog and play fetch with him. Our pets are always well taken care of and are part of the family. I will make sure to keep all doors and windows closed to prevent your pet from running away. Walking on leash at all times unless otherwise instructed. Being aware of animals whereabouts at all times.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs, big and small, as well as cats, all my life. I have long-term hands-on experience with feeding, walking, and bathing. I know how important it is to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need to thrive. I'm confident working with different breeds and personalities, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working full-time as a Youth Probation Officer. During the days I am in office, I will ensure your pet is let out and fed during my lunch hour. I am available most weekends and love spending my time outdoors. I have a fenced in yard with no animals currently in my home. I live in a residential area that is close to Jackson Park, Peterborough, which is great for a long walk with the pup. There is room for a crate if necessary.
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: My family has had dogs since I was born, so I have always lived in a pet environment. Now I have two dogs and they are a lovely couple. I have experience training puppies so I would love to play with puppies<1 year. I have Sunday and Monday off, and I’m free to stay with them all day long. You could also PM me to check my available time with other four days. I have two friendly dogs. A railing and crate can keep my dogs in the bedroom if your baby need some separate space. Normally, your baby will have snack time with my dogs unless you have some special needs.
“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: My name is Toby (yes, that in itself is a dog's name).. I love all animals but given my lifestyle and pet experiences (over 40 years) most of my experience is with domestic dogs and cats - mostly rescues. Our family home always had a pet - be it a dog, cat or both...our first family dog was 'BINGO' - a minature collie - we loved him so much. He was part of our life for over 14 years. My mom was the 'dog decision maker' in the house and everyone else in the family adored and pitched in as needed to ensure the pet had the best quality of life. We had a variety of rescues - a greyhound, black lab and now we have a rat terrier and a beagle mutt. I've also always lived with 1 or 2 domestic cats. I've had many of my own cats over the years ...all of my cats have been rescues: Libby, Macho, Nuts, Boltz, and Danny. Our cats and dogs have always co-existed with no issues - it's about the humans and proper integration. Bottom line, I have to have pets around me - they bring so much joy. I want to provide a calm, safe, comfortable loving experience for each pet I am responsible for be it walking, home visit, taxi service, home boarding etc.... UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2022: I recently moved to Peterborough. My house is located 1 block from the Peterborough Regional Hospital so my hope is to provide direct support to those in need of pet care while they are in hospital or a friend /loved one is. I will be providing 'emergency' pet care service - last minute bookings for those in need that meet scope of care requirements.

In addition, I am now a licensed/insured Certified PSW (Centennial College). While my interests and services are based around dog care/support , I can supplement with PSW abulatory, lower needs personal support/companion care. My home (single family dwelling with large fenced yard in quiet area) will have 2 fully furnished bedrooms and a full washroom set up for qualified family members/friends of those who may have loved ones hospital and need a place nearby.

We have pet cams set up so we always have visibility to the pet areas of the house be it inside or outside. The home is fully air conditioned. Outside what the pet owner has outlined and delegated, we do not provide pet food or treats during their stay to avoid any digestive /medical issues. Wr do not let dogs off leash at any time.

I’m able to take pets for walks, care for them at your house and pop in and out as need be as my schedule is very flexible.

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.

Because I work part time my schedule is generally fairly open, except for school drop off and pick up during the school season.

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.
“Absolutely! Here's a more hyped-up version of your review: Skylar was AMAZING with my two kitties! She went above and beyond her Rover cards were loaded with adorable pics, and she even included snapshots of their food and litter setup so I knew everything was taken care of. I felt so at ease knowing they were in such good hands. 10/10 would book again without hesitation. Highly recommend Skylar if you want your pets treated like royalty!”

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! On Tuesdays, I’m available until 2pm, and after 9:30pm. 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.
Peterborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you so much Brooklyne! We will certainly hire you again to help with Bert! Brooklyne was amazing with our reactive - but very loving and energetic - border collie. We are always nervous about new folks walking her since she can be a handful, but Brooklyne is a pro and knew exactly what to do.
