About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.
“Yuqi is amazing! She came to my place a few days before my trip to meet us. She was always on time as we agreed and followed the instructions clearly. The one thing I liked the most was her communication skills. Yuqi is clear, direct and very thorough on her messages and comments. She sent me a lot of photos every day and left a detailed report of how things were with my two cats. She was respectful and caring with them. I absolutely recommend her services to anyone.”

I will treat your pets as my own. I am always respectful of personal boundaries and any safety precautions put in place. Should any situation arise, I am very calm and resolute and will call you and any necessary emergency services that are required, as well as the Rover service itself. Your pet and their safety and care always comes first, and I am happy to help around the house as needed in respect to cleanliness, changing litter, or cleaning cages.
“If your pet needs a bff - Ksenia is the best petsitter! Not only did she follow all the instructions accurately but she went above and beyond! We take our cat on a walk and she sent daily updates and pictures of the kitty on her walk. She also took cat playtime very seriously and spent at least an hour per day playing with her. Aurora was a super happy kitty when we came back and will definitely love to stay with Ksenia again. Last but not least, she left the house spotless ;)”

“Ella is superb, very kind and considerate. She spent extra time with our 14 year-old Chihuahua who is temperamental and never been left alone by himself for 2 days. We asked for 4 drop-in visit on Saturday which most people would not take the request but she is so compassionate and accepted it (I’ve been rejected by 3 star sitter before I got Ella). Even she is not a star sitter YET but I am 200% sure she will be very soon. We will definitely ask for her help next time when needed. Thanks, Barb and Peter Law ♥️”

About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
I highly recommend Keying! She did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Chewy. She was reliable, communicative, and made a genuine effort to keep Chewy comfortable and entertained. I loved receiving the regular photo updates and status reports. I’m very happy with her work and will definitely book her again.
Rachel was above and beyond! She walked me through using Rover (it was my first time). She sent me very detailed updates. She was sensitive and skilled in establishing a relationship with our cats. Even the cat who dislikes strangers would go up to her for petting. She made sure to inform me about every little thing and acted according to my instructions.
Sophia is such a dedicated and responsible sitter—I actually want to give her a 10 out of 5! She did a pre-drop-in visit and patiently listened to all my concerns as a first-time Rover user worried about leaving my two babies home alone. My dog, Chance, is an almost 90lb Labrador who is wary of strangers, but Sophia was incredibly capable of building trust with him. She even brought toys from her own home to play with him! She also bonded with my cat, Cathy, very well. Sophia sent numerous photos and videos during her visits and even insisted on walking Chance despite the cold weather. She is truly passionate about animals and very observant. For example, she noticed Cathy had moved her cat bed and asked if she should put it back. She even picked up a delivery for us that arrived earlier than expected! It was a pleasure working with Sophia. Chance and Cathy like her a lot, and I cannot wait to have her watch them again during my next trip.
She took wonderful care of my kitten and was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented. It was clear from the start that she truly loves cats and understands their needs. She followed all instructions carefully, kept everything clean, and made sure my kitten was comfortable and happy the entire time. I felt very at ease knowing my kitten was in such caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter, and I would happily book with her again!
Grace was absolutely amazing! I trust her so much! She even drove by my house before the first visit to make sure she knew where it was (I wasn’t able to have access to my phone for the weekend) so this made me feel at ease. She updated my son with cute videos and made sure her she had lots of play time! She also filled her food and water as well as changed the litter! I’m glad Grace was there to care for Luna, as she is a kitten and was just recently adopted. Being left alone for the weekend would have been scary for her. Will definitely repeat 🔁 with Grace and I recommend her HIGHLY! Many thank you’s
