Jahzara is amazing. We used Rover for the first time and I trusted my intuition to go with her based on her profile and I am so happy to say it went perfectly. Our cats were happy when we came back from our vacation as they got a lot of love and attention. Jahzara made sure to send us the photos from every visit and seeing them getting love and treats was a joy. I will definitely be trusting her with taking care of animals.

This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my cats in someone else's care. But Danya was absolutely wonderful and made the whole experience so reassuring! She took amazing care of our cats—spending time with them, keeping their routine, and sending regular updates and photos that really helped put my mind at ease. The updates were so detailed and my family and I looked forward to every one of them! The pictures she sent were the best! It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. I’m so grateful to have found Danya and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

I would give more stars if I could! This was our first time leaving our old girl at home for the weekend as she it too difficult for her to join us camping unfortunately. Alexandra set our minds at ease immediately upon meeting her. Her communication is fantastic and she went above and beyond for our sweet Nala. I was super anxious about leaving her with a stranger but was so pleasantly surprised how much love and gentle care Alexandra gave to her. I absolutely recommend trusting her with your fur babies, I will definitely use her again ☺️

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over 10 years. I have experience with separation anxiety and reactive dogs. I have also worked with other animals like bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with puppies and seniors as well. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I split it into morning and evening tasks. Mornings involve feeding, walking, checking litter boxes, refilling water, etc. And my evenings include walking, feeding, and any cleaning tasks. I provide care at my clients residence. Depending on the type of building it is (house or apartment) care will vary. In a house it often includes time in backyard, inside play, walks, and extended time with the pet. In an apartment it will include play time inside, lots of walks, time on balcony (depends on apartment and pet), making sure blinds are open to provide sunlight, and extended time with the pet.

About: Animals are my absolute passion and I live my life very much in mind of animal welfare. As a testament, I have been a vegetarian for many years now and it's a joy to be able to care for and spend time with animals. Most people would define me as a compassionate and dedicated animal lover. It would be my dream to make it my work. I really enjoy being out with the dogs and I tend to give them a lot of attention and always have safety and enrichment in mind. In the past I would go on "Meetup" dog walking hikes, even though I do not own one, just because it makes hiking that much better! I have volunteered and been trained at several animal shelters over the years including the Toronto Humane Society where I would walk a range of dogs, everything from aggressive, blind, physically disabled, friendly and various types of breeds. I also grew up with a family pet for 14 years in addition to dog walking for countless family members, friends and neighbours. In addition to caring for dogs , I was fostering cats for about 8 years. I have adopted out and fostered about 30 cats over that time (one or two at a time), helping them to become accustomed to home life and trustful of humans. Therefore, I can tend to any cats or other pets at your home. Look forward to meeting your fur "baby"! When I am dog or cat sitting your pet would be my number one priority. For dogs I often do one big walk/adventure a day and regular local walks or bathroom breaks for the remaining of the day. Safety is always my number one concern for the animal. With new dogs I'm always cautious around other animals, do not go to off leash dog parks and I keep them leashed up. I currently only do house sitting so the animals are usually comfortable in their environment and they make sure they have plenty of water and food.

We met Claudia and Ken the other day during our initial meet and greet and Sammy our dog obviously felt comfortable with them. Claudia took him for a walk today and he had a great time. We just adopted Sammy a few weeks ago, so we are still getting to know him and how he reacts to other people and other dogs. He trotted off with Claudia without a backward glance at me today, so that reassures me that he is happy to be with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. I have a fenced yard and a safe, comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable.

About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.

Angela has a pure love for animals, such a kind soul. After finding her profile I knew she was the one, and she was the only one I reached out to. Meeting her in person and talking to her more was an absolute pleasure. She took care of my two kitties, Leo and Mews, and the added responsibility of my free roaming cockatiel, Bobby, like they were her own. Nearly last minute Leo was put on 2 medications and Angela took that on without hesitation. Her twice daily updates with pictures were the best! Her descriptive interactions with each 3 made me know how caring she is and that she took the time to get to know them individually. And Leo...he bonded with Angela right away and adored her. Honestly when I came home and he saw me instead of Angela he looked disappointed. I can't thank Angela enough for taking amazing care of Mews, Leo and Bobby ♥️

About: I have 2 cats and i take care and play with them every day. Take them to vets as needed. They are my happiness. I have pet sitted my friends cat when they are away. Honestly doing this just for pure joy not money. Part time on evenings or weekends . mostly interested in drop ins for checking the pets food , litter , water. Also can play with them or take for walks . My cats consider it as they are the owners of the house 😀 i have litter boxes, auto food and water set up for them as well I generally go and check food, water and litter box. For cats, I know it’s tough to get familar. So that’s fine. I will take my time to play with them. Patience is the key
