House Sitting in Peterborough

“Falin cared for Charlie a couple of mornings back to back. She was very responsive to communication and our needs. Falin followed instructions to the tee and sent updates and photos for the sittings. She is an experienced dog trainer and spent some time working on our pup's new learnings. Charlie was very well loved and exercised.”

About: Hi, I’m Lina*! I have over six years of animal care experience in shelter and dog daycare environments. I also walked dogs as an independent contractor on top of my other work from 2020 to 2021. I am experienced with handling dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and abilities. My number one priority is keeping your dog as safe and comfortable as possible when out in the world – something many novice walkers take for granted! My own dog is dog/leash-reactive, so I have a lot of experience in systematically desensitizing and re-teaching her how to love going out for walks, as well as safely redirecting the occasional uninvited off-leash dog headed toward her. In my previous dog walking job, many of my clients had dogs with mild/moderate behavioural issues; most often lunging/barking at passing dogs. The regular clients I served were impressed with the improvements made over time. I love being able to make a difference and missed it so much that I’m here on Rover. I am certified in pet first aid, and my shelter and daycare experience has given me the skills I need to be comfortable handling just about any manner of medication for cats and dogs. I’ve been working outdoors for the last five years and am absolutely comfortable taking your dog out rain or shine. *I went by Lina when I made my Rover account years ago, but I typically go by my first name, Keegan, now! I will respond to either one, so don't worry! Updated March 2026: I currently have pretty open availability. I am prioritizing recurring clients with mild-moderate reactivity, but I am always interested in meeting new dogs (and cats!) and providing excellent care however I can. If you're interested in house-sitting services, please contact me to discuss; I only accept them on a case-by-case basis and I prioritize stays for clients with behaviourally/medically complex pets. As an alternative, I'm happy to accommodate multiple drop-in visits per day if you're away. I'll make sure your dog gets time to do their business outside, clean up any indoor messes, and give food and any required medications. Please note that my house sitting services do not automatically involve walks beyond several potty breaks throughout the day/evening, generally within fenced yards or just a few minutes up and down the street on a leash. Depending on your dog's care needs, this can be discussed further, but I generally charge more for adding full walks to house sitting jobs.

About: I’ve been taking of pets a lot of my life! I have lot of experience with large breed dogs such as German Shepard’s to small breeds such as French bulldogs. I I currently work full time as a nurse, for the next 4 months ending in September. Then I will be part- time nursing until a full time line in my field becomes available again in the area I work! So I’m available Monday to Friday after 3:30pm or before 3pm depending on my schedule at the time. Please feel free to message me about my availability on my calendar! House sitting is a needed add on I have come to be available for! Please message me if I am unavailable for the times you are away and see if I can accommodate!! I’m trustable person, and I care very much for solely for the animal or animals that you have in your home. I welcome your home security cameras to monitor interactions. Depending on the service I will always replace and refresh water for both cats and dogs and put always toys that have snuck their way out!

“We can’t say enough good things about Maryam’s cat sitting services. My partner and I hired her for a last-minute trip we decided to take, and we were so lucky that she was available. She promptly came to the house to meet our fur crew and took the time to ask thoughtful questions, jot down notes, and take photos so she could keep all of our instructions and details straight. It was clear right away how attentive and organized she is. During her visit she made sure to spend time playing with our high-energy girl, while also respecting the space of our other two cats. By her second visit they had already warmed up and came to her once she had earned their trust. Maryam kept up consistent communication, sent as many photos as we wanted, and followed our lead when it came to how much we preferred to check in while we were away. We also came home to a lovely note, beautiful handmade florals, and adorable kitty report cards (all glowing, of course 🤩). It was obvious she had genuinely spent time with our cats, because the little details she shared about each of them were spot-on. We felt completely comfortable having Maryam in our home and caring for our beloved cats while we were away. We’re already crossing our fingers that she’ll be available the next time we travel!”

“Angie did a great job looking after all of our fur babies including our most sensitive boy. She kept in touch as needed and sent photos which we really appreciated. Would definitely have Angie back again to look after the farm:)”

“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: I started taking care of dogs and cats when I was a teenager. When neighbours would go on vacation or have out of town appointments- they would always contact me to walk, feed and care fir their pets. I love both dogs and cats and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible work schedule so I am able to work with times that best suit you and your pets. I am happy to meet once booked, prior to starting to get to know you and your pet! I am able to offer drop ins to check in on, feed, clean litter box and do a general wellness visit for your pet. Also bring in mail, water plants.

“Ini watched our 17-year-old Puggle for 10 days while my husband and I went away on a trip. I was nervous about leaving him because of his age and because she was someone he didn't know. But it couldn't have been better. I loved getting the daily pictures and updates. I think he had the best time ever with her and when I came home he did not seem stressed at all at our being gone for so long. Ini was so professional and polite and we have already booked her for our next vacation. I would highly recommend her.”

“Loganne provided great care for my senior pets while we were away. She provided extra care and left the house neat and tidy!”

“It was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant, however Madelyn did a wonderful job sitting our dog Shadow. She has a happy, positive and cheerful attitude and we thought that she communicated very well. She even sent us some pictures of our relaxed happy dog. . I would highly recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for good pet care. Your pet will be in good hands. :)”
