“Thank you for looking after our sweet girl, Deja! I could tell from all the pictures and updates that she loved her walk and all the attention! We will definitely book with Delaney again!”


“We couldn't be more pleased with the care Falin provided for our three dogs while we were away for my son's wedding. She was fabulous! From providing an update to the dogs being happy and relaxed when we returned, we knew they were in great hands. Highly recommend her services!”


“Brooke was fantastic. She was available on short notice and made my first experience using Rover completely seamless. She took great care of Wendel, taking him for walks, sending photo updates, and even tidying up after him, which is no small feat with a husky who sheds enough to coat every window and corner. I really appreciated her care, communication, and the extra effort she put in. Highly recommend.”


About: Hi there! My name is Breanne :) With over 12 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health, and emotional needs. My background includes working in veterinary clinics as a technician, doggy daycares, rescue organizations, turtle rehabilitation centers, and pet boarding and training facilities. I’ve cared for animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, turtles, horses, sheep, chickens, raccoons, skunks and more! From veterinary clinics, to farms, to rescues, to shelters, to boarding facilities, to wildlife research and management- I'm honoured to say I've been there. I began volunteering with local rescues at the age of 12 and have stayed committed to the animal care industry since (I am now 28). What sets me apart from other sitters is my blend of professional training and personal experience/commitment. I am educated on animal behaviour and physiology, and everything I do - I do with animal well-being in mind, whether it's pets, livestock, or wildlife. Whether I’m comforting a nervous rescue dog, getting creative with cat stimulation games, cleaning a turtle tank, mucking horse stalls, reinforcing training with a high-energy puppy, vaccinating a skunk, cleaning a wound, or administering medication, I approach every animal with kindness, knowledge, and thoughtful care. Animals really aren't just a job, they’re a priority in everything I do. As a recent (conservation) biology degree graduate, I've decided to try out Rover as a side gig while I explore my career options. Thanks for taking the time to read about me! Please message me if you have any questions :) I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, with my own means of transportation. This means that I can alter my schedule around you and your pet's needs! I have a fully fenced in, large yard and am centrally located. I have a cat and a senior dog at home, who tend to prefer calmer companions, or at least those who will give them space when they need it :) I have no issues coming to a clients place and monitoring/mitigating any potential hazards or risks on my own. I appreciate any and all valuable information about the pets preferences and quirks, and will always put animal safety first.

“Our dog is quite reactive, strong and can be a handful, but Loghan was great with him and knew just what to do with him! Great updates while Bowie was in his care as well! Very grateful!”


About: Hey there! My name is Hannah and I am so excited to meet your fur babies! As a second-year student at Trent University, I'm excited to expand my dog-sitting services to the Peterborough area. With about 3 years of experience caring for dogs back home during high school, I offer attentive care and reliable companionship for your babies when life doesn’t allow you to do so. I can’t wait to help out you and your furry family! While I am a full time student and do work around school hours, I have large time gaps between classes where I am able to check in and spend some time with yours babies. Of course, this still allows me to be available throughout the day, but there are some times where I have to be away for 2-3 hours. I am also more happy to share my schedule with you prior to your booking, to ensure you are comfortable with the times I have to step away. I am all about making sure your pet feels as though nothing has changed, by sticking to their usual routine. Whether that includes following their regular feeding times or taking them on their favourite walks at their regular tune. My Maggie (shi-tzu) and I, know first hand how confused our furry friends can get when someone goes off schedule (courtesy of a forgetful pet-grandma) Anything I can do to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re not around.

“Vanessa stayed in our home and took great care of our husky-mix. Our pup was relaxed and clearly without a care when we arrived home, and can be an anxious guy. Our house was just as we left it, and Vanessa took great care to keep us updated multiples times a day with pictures and feedback on how our pup was doing. Thanks for taking such excellent care of our boy and our home, Vanessa!”


About: I bring a mix of youthful energy and dependable care as a second year university student with years of hands on pet experience. I have had a chocolate lab of my own for the past five years and have grown up around so many different family and friends dogs of all kinds. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppy training to gentle senior care, and I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality. I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and engaged while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. 🥰 I’m currently not working while living in Peterborough and taking classes, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pups all the love, attention, and care they deserve! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every moment you’re away! 😊 Because I’m currently living in a student home, I’m unable to host pets in my own space—but I’m more than happy to care for them in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I can drop in for visits, take them on fun walks, feed them, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

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.

“Vanessa was amazing with my pups and keeping me updated. They were so tired when we got home! She took great care of them. Our senior needs a lot of medications and Vanessa was diligent about giving them to her on time. Would highly recommend her. The dogs and I can’t wait for her next stay.”


“Shreema came even though it was a last minute booking to help me out for the whole weekend!! The feedback and pictures were great and my pups were so happy and relaxed when I got home. Definitely would use her again and highly recommended. 10/10 👍”

About: Hey! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and being new to this area and not having a companion around has gotten lonely. I’d love to look after your dog(s) to get my puppy fix that I’m missing not being able to have one of my own at the moment. I’ve looked after several dogs in my day as well as my own house pets. I’m active and love to take dogs on long (or short) walks depending on their needs. I’ve had shy dogs and high energy dogs and I can keep up with anything you throw my way!! I work from home during the day so I’m available for at home sitting during business hours but afterwards I’m free to work around schedules as needed. I’m free on weekends and always willing to give a helping hand to a dog lover. I have a fenced area in the backyard as well as an area to roam. I’m close to parks and trails and would love to go for walks with your dog(s). My apartment is on the ground floor so it’s not far to get outside when they have to do their business. My apartment is small but cozy and lots to do to keep your dog(s) occupied and multiple areas to nap if they’re feeling lazy.

About: I have a variety of experience with both cats and dogs. I have grown up with cats and have had two of my own for 5 years now. However, I have also been surrounded my dogs my entire life as the majority of my friends and family own them. I have experience with all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I borrow my friends’ dogs all the time to take on hikes and even camping trips. I just finished my PhD and I am trying to figure out what's next. Until then, I am looking forward to spending some time with all the fur babies. I am very observant of what is around me when I am caring for any pet. I listen carefully to owner’s instructions and ensure the pet’s safety is my priority.

“My cats were in the Best care! One is a little more timid and she was in Cat Love right from the beginning of the stay. It was better than I could have hoped for. It was a relief to leave Cally and Pumpkin in care with someone who clearly loves cats. I highly recommend this service and site without hesitation and know you can leave your furry friends in caring hands and enjoy your time away! We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so very much!”
