About: I’ve had dogs as pets since a young age. Enjoying every moment of the companionship and responsibilities. Feeding , bathing , teaching the perfect trick over and over. Dogs ask us for so little - just to be loved ❤️ They give us unconditional Love I work from home and have plenty of time to step out for walks and potty relief. My own 14 year old beagle has passed away and the home is empty , needing to be filled with 4 legged fur I can give attention and love to :) I live in a condo , but get out several times a day for walks for myself and my beagle when she was still with us. Doing lots of dogless walks currently , and would love to have a furry walking partner again 🐾🐾
About: I have several years of personal experience caring for dogs and over a year of experience caring for cats. I understand the importance of feeding routines, fresh water, exercise, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behaviour or needs. I also completed hands-on pet grooming training, where I learned safe handling, brushing, nail care, and basic grooming techniques. I am patient, responsible, physically active, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet with kindness and will provide attentive care, companionship, and photo updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they are away. I am currently available for pet care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, mainly from 6 AM to 3 PM. I am also open to regular weekly visits and recurring care. I keep my schedule organized so I can arrive on time and give each pet my full attention. Safety and trust are very important to me. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, keep dogs securely leashed when needed, check doors and gates before leaving, and make sure pets have fresh water and are comfortable. I pay attention to changes in behaviour or condition and will contact the owner if I notice anything unusual. I also provide photos and updates after each visit.
“Great help!! Very good ommunication at all times. Reliable, it was a last minute call for work emergency and he was very responsive whenever I needed him. Thabknyou Qian!!!”

About: Animals have been an essential part of my life for as long as remember. Growing up, I spent nearly ten wonderful years with my grandmother’s dog. We shared an unbreakable bond—she trusted me so completely that when she gave birth to two litters, she would gently bring her newborn puppies right to me to cuddle and rest on my chest. That early experience taught me deep empathy, how to read canine body language, and how to build lasting trust with dogs. When I was in university, I welcomed my first cat into my life, and he is now nearly seven years old. He is my sweetest companion—every single night he sleeps with his head resting on my arm and kneads softly on me. Two years ago, my husband and I adopted our second cat. She is full of playful, energetic curiosity; she loves chasing after drawstrings and playing fetch with her favorite balls just like a little pup. Living with two distinct feline personalities and having a long history with dogs allows me to understand both the calm, sensitive souls and the playful, high-energy spirits. As a pet sitter, I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. I respect their individual boundaries, pay close attention to subtle behavioral or dietary cues, keep their spaces clean and safe, and always provide detailed photo and video updates so you can have complete peace of mind while away! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits easily. I can dedicate quality time to each visit for feeding, cleaning, brushing, playing, and sending thorough updates without ever rushing. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities when entering a client's home. I treat your living space with the utmost respect and care, treating your furry family members as gently and attentively as my own. During every visit, I strictly adhere to thorough safety and sanitation routines: • Door & Flight Prevention: I am extremely mindful when opening and closing main doors and windows, always double-checking that curious pets cannot slip out. • Hygiene & Sanitation: I sanitize my hands before and after touching food bowls, water dispensers, and litter boxes, ensuring fresh water, tidy feeding areas, and a spotless environment. • Respect & Communication: I respect your privacy, keep your home secure, and follow all specific instructions to the letter. After every visit, I provide prompt, detailed updates with clear photos and videos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. • Preparedness: I always confirm the contact information for your preferred local vet and emergency contacts before your departure, ensuring I am ready to respond swiftly and calmly in any unforeseen situation.
“I highly recommend Naghmeh! She took excellent care of Balu and Mila. She was punctual, provided regular updates, and was very affectionate with them. Her experience with dogs was evident, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and comfort level. I currently care for my Cockapoo, Lexi, and I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, treats, playtime, grooming and monitoring behaviour. I’m patient, attentive and always focused on keeping dogs safe, happy and comfortable. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and love being outdoors, staying active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking feels like something I genuinely enjoy rather than a job. I have plenty of flexibility during the day, which means I can give your dog my full attention rather than rushing through a walk. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or visiting a client’s home for a walk, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Before each walk, I make sure your dog is comfortable and ready, follow your instructions and routine, and keep safety my top priority. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and pace, whether they love a long energetic walk or prefer a slower stroll with lots of sniffing. When I return your dog home, I make sure they are settled comfortably and that everything is left just as I found.
“Thank you Sophia, Savannah was a happy camper, Sophia took very well care of my dog Savannah, reliable and creative, even got her toy ❤️, will be rebooking, actually I already did 😊”

About: I have over 20 years of experience being a cat parent. We adopted our first family cat (Sunny - Scotish Fold) in 2003 and our second cat (Flowey - Domestic) in 2004.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
David was great with Aspen! Aspen was always so excited to see him and clearly enjoyed their walks. He would even look back at David when he left, as if he didn’t want him to go! David also sent lots of photos and updates after each walk, which we really appreciated. He was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We’d happily recommend him!

Mattea is wonderful!! She is attentive, caring, and kind. Communication was easy and fast, she’s always available when needed, and our pup loves his walks with her! Whenever he doesn’t come to the front door for his walk, she reaches out to let us know (we always just tell her to go get him), but she’s extremely polite and always makes sure Bunky gets what he needs. Thank you Mattea for being so helpful through the summer while our family had chaotic schedules, and making sure Bunky was always loved ❤️

Irene has been walking my energetic medium dog every week day. He absolutely adores her. She has been very communicative and prompt for every pickup and just a lovely person as a whole. Highly recommended and will definitely be using her services for a long time.

Ella is amazing with my dog Milo. He’s always so happy to she her when she picks him up for his walk. She’s attentive and caring towards him and you can tell that in how he reacts to seeing her. She provides lots of updates and photos and so flexible. Highly recommend and have booked with her multiple times.

Laura has been prompt with the scheduled walks and my rambunctious 2yo Shepherd/Lab is so excited when ever she comes to take him. He comes back tired and happy. I will continue to use her services and I recommend her for others as well! Thanks Laura for taking great care of my Oakley!

Haukiu is a very considerate, responsive and helpful walker. My grandma has mobility issues and couldn't walk my dog when I got stuck late at work and Haukiu jumped in last-minute and saved the day! She wiped my dog's paws and my grandma reported that he was very happy when he came back from his walk. Highly recommend!

Renita does an excellent job doing daily walks with my dog. She’s very reliable and provides updates, but more importantly she cares for him like her own. She loves hanging out with him and gives him treats before she leaves. It’s so nice to have Renita for daily walks and my dog loves it too!

Tianqi was amazing — having him walk Jessie was such a huge help for us. Jessie absolutely loved him; he was so kind, caring, and attentive with her. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would totally recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.

Ellie is absolutely amazing! She always takes such good care of my dog and follows every instruction perfectly. She pays close attention to my dog’s routines, like walking pace, and playtime preferences. Communication is super easy. She’s quick to respond and always sends the cutest photo updates and detailed notes about their walks. My dog gets so excited whenever she arrives, which says it all! I feel totally at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and reliable hands
