“Very mindful, lots of pictures and went above and beyond.”

“Agnes was great. My dogs loved having her here. We will definitely use her again!”


“Thank you so much for staying longer with Miss middy such an ease to my mind knowing she was safe and being well loved !”


“We had a really wonderful experience having Vanessa house/pet sit for us, allowing us to get away for a weekend. Communication leading up to and throughout her stay was fantastic and we were happy to receive updates and photos of the pets as they enjoyed Vanessa’s company. The house was spotless and the pets were happy and well cared for upon our return - what more could you ask for! Hope to be able to book with Vanessa again in the future! :)”


“Laura looked after my dog Sadie for 4 days while I was out of the country. I was very worried leaving her with someone else as Sadie had been in a serious accident 2 months ago and I haven't left her side since. Laura was very understanding and her warm nature made me feel very comfortable and confident that she would take good care of her. Sadie warmed up to her right away actually cuddling with her their first night lol. She took good care of her needs, our home, and our fishes too! Sadie was a happy healthy girl when we returned and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Laura again.”


About: I’ve been caring and keeping dogs company since I was 17. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and provide loving companionship for their pups. I’m a totally dog person-can’t imagine the world without them! I’m currently self employed and mostly work from home, giving me plenty of flexible time to care for your pets. I’m fully available on both weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I live in a house with a patio and unfenced yard, offering plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. We’re just a 10-minutes walk from Peterborough off-leash dog park, perfect for adding some extra fun and adventure to your puppy’s day!


“Susan was kind and professional. My dogs were loved as much as I love them and my home was well looked after and in better condition then I left it when we came home. Susan texted me with photos and updates each day I was away and kept my mind at ease. One of my dogs was on a prescription medication - Susan gave each medication with ease and confidence at times required daily. There was even a hot meal and desert waiting for us after our long drive home. I would recommend Susan to anyone who wants their dogs loved as much as they do while they are away. I am so happy I found her and will be using her over and over in the future.”


“I was very happy with Gurleen’s dog sitting service. M’y two dogs were in very good care with her. When I met her before her assignment, I could tell that she was an animal lover! She is a kind and responsible individual and I appreciated how well she took care of my dogs. I would recommend her whole heartedly. Thank you Gurleen!”


“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: 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.

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 at the hospital, so I rotate between having Wednesday and Thursday off to having Monday Tuesday to Friday- Sunday off I’m very flexible 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!

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: Hi! I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life and love making new furry friends. I have primarily dog-sat and cat-sat for my friends, family, and roommates. However, now that I have my own space and my own dog, I want to expand my experience on Rover. I have extensive experience with various animal sizes, breeds, and ages, and I am comfortable administering medication or accommodating any special needs that your pets may have. I work with the Ministry of Natural Resources as a research technician in the science division. However, it is contract work meaning I have months off here and there where I focus on dog sitting and walking. From March-June my schedule is wide open, expect for a week in April. Whether it’s their favorite toys, leash preferences, or any behavioral quirks, your insights will enable me to provide the best care possible and build a trusting relationship with your furry family member.
