“Dayna has been an absolute gem with our Sailor. The two of them bonded instantly at the first meeting and sailor loves her walks with Dayna. We.loved seeing the daily report cards with photos about their walks and events that happened. We can't wait to book Dayna again for our next trip and we would highly recommend Dayna looking for a responsible and loving companion for their dog.”


About: Completed introductory dog training program with PetSmart and our Labrador Peaches My wife and I are newlyweds, she has 8+ years of taking care of her family dogs, I have 5+ years of taking care of my dogs. We love dogs as much as we love each other! We both work from home full-time, and love taking breaks in our day to play with our lab! Pet care is a regular part of our lives and we love it! We have a friendly 4-year old Labrador (Peaches) to keep your furry friend company, and live near multiple parks and trails that we explore regularly!

“I cannot recommend Daniel enough! If you’re looking for someone who is dedicated, deeply invested, and extremely organized - Daniel is for you. My dog is a reactive and deaf pup that needs extra care for his weekly walk. Daniel has taken significant effort to learning my dogs needs and best care practices. It isn’t easy work but his skill and care make it possible. Wellington is always so excited for his weekly walk! Afterwards, he provides detailed post walk reviews and sends his schedules far in advance.”


About: I don’t have much experience other than that I grew up around animals my whole life. Such as cats, dogs, ferrets, turtles, and hamsters. It is just recently when I started taking care of them (i.e., dog sitting, grooming etc.) as I am trying to gain more experience for my school resumé for when I start the Veterinary Assistant Program at Seneca Polytechnic in September. I’m a pretty ‘to myself’ person until I get comfortable and can tend to get a little social anxiety but I always persevere. That is also why I would like to push myself and do something like what Rover provides because I have so much passion for this field and my love of animals is what keeps me striving for excellence! Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to work with animals and it’s wonderful seeing that I have that opportunity. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur friend! I am currently going to school to pursue my career in Veterinary Medicine so availability is a tad more limited; nonetheless, I’ll still be available. The specific tasks and level of care will depend on the pet's individual needs and the services provided, but typically include feeding, grooming, exercise, health monitoring and companionship.

“I’m a first time Rocer user and I was SCARED out of my mind about using the app (heard horror stories), but Rachita was AMAZING. She 100% deserves all her great reviews - she was super patient answering all my questions, treated my dogs well and stayed a few minutes after on understanding the layout of my house and what to do with the dogs after. She will now be our GO TO !!!”


“Sydney has been amazing! I know my girl lights up whenever shes sees sydney coming to give her a walk. Sydney is great with last minute bookings and easy to communicate with. My minds at ease knowing reigns in good hands with someone who treats her like their own pet! Im a repeat customer and will definitely be continuing to use Sydneys services. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a fear-free and patient sitter, also I am an active dog walker. I have experience working in a pet store, where they offer the pet hotel service. For both dogs and cats. Monday to Friday, day time are always available for me. So just let me know your plan, then I could adjust my schedule. Currently I am in a free job. Currently, I could only do sitter at your house, since I have two cats at my home, I could take the dog walk outside, and also do the care for the cats, for example, feeding, changing the water, and cleaning the toilet, and also playing with your loved ones.

About: Being raised around dogs, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My goal with Rover is to support families by offering reliable and loving care for their dogs. Whether it’s following a specific diet, maintaining a routine, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and safe, I’m here to make the experience stress-free for both you and your furry friend. Your pet's needs are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I provide pet care from my 1000 sqft apartment, offering a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. I’m currently available throughout the week, with a preference for afternoons and evenings when I can give your pup my full attention and care. That said, if you need morning assistance, I’m more than happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. My goal is to stay flexible while ensuring your dog receives the best possible care, no matter the time of day. I provide pet care from my cozy apartment in a pet-friendly, walkable area with plenty of nearby green spaces perfect for daily walks, playtime, and exercise. I share my home with a roommate who loves animals just as much as I do—so your pup will be surrounded by warmth and friendly faces. With my experience caring for dogs and understanding their unique needs, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and never alone. Whether it’s afternoon cuddles, evening walks, or extra playtime, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home.

About: I am a university student looking to further my experience working with animals. My availability is very flexible throughout the week. I grew up around plenty of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles and chinchillas! I walk my dogs three times a day and love to let them run around in the fields! I love animals and have done multiple dog walking/pet sitting jobs in the past two years. I believe dogs should be getting multiple walks everyday that vary from 15-30minutes depending on the health of the animal, it is also beneficial for us to get this daily exercise. If you think I’m a fit for your family I will be sure to give your furry loved ones the care, love and attention they deserve! As a teacher with a flexible schedule, I love using my free time to care for animals. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine — I start and end my days walking my own dogs, and I’m often outside or active, which makes it easy to schedule walks, drop-ins, or visits around my work commitments. During school breaks, evenings, and weekends, I have even more availability and love filling that time with caring for pets. Whether it’s stopping in for snuggles, going for a walk, or making sure your pets are fed and comfortable, I treat it as part of my daily rhythm — not a chore. Being around animals is something that brings me joy, so pet care never feels like “extra work” — it’s something I look forward to. I care for pets the same way I care for my own — with love, patience, and attention to their individual needs. Every animal has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to get to know them so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For dogs, I make sure they get enough daily exercise based on their age, energy level, and health — whether that’s a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or a game of fetch in the yard. I keep their feeding schedule consistent, provide fresh water, and always make time for play and affection. I also stick to any training routines or rules the owner has in place to ensure consistency. For cats, I know how important it is to respect their space and preferences. Some cats want to cuddle and play; others prefer quiet companionship. I keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding instructions carefully, and provide enrichment through toys, brushing, or just a sunny spot to relax in. Above all, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they have peace of mind while they’re away.

Mathusan & Keishiya T.
“Mathusan and Keishiya have been caring for my Doberman, Zee, for both short and extended periods many times over the last several years. The times have ranged from a few hours to full weeks. Keishiya and Mathusan can always be counted on to ensure a safe and loving home for Zee. Their attention to detail (understanding his routines, diet, and needs), and open lines of communication give me peace of mind which I can rarely find with doggy hotels or other third-party dog care services. Keishiya and Mathusan are the most loving and nurturing people I know, who not only see Zee as a friend, but as another member of their family.”
