“Lisa has been doing drop in visits with our cat since July and we’re very happy to have found her. She’s been easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling. Our cat’s food and litter has been well taken care of and we know she’s in good hands with Lisa dropping in.”
About: I have been taking care and training dogs since i was 4. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from the moment they are born through to seniors. I have also trained dogs from 5 weeks old through to older dogs. I do not believe in the term you can not teach an old dog new tricks, i just believe it is more difficult to do so. I have worked with dogs that have issues from medical to behavioral and love a challenge. I am currently in college for dog training. I have a very open schedule. I own my own company and am able to make my own work schedule. I do have animals of my own so i cannot stay in a house over night but am able to do check-ins. I do have 5 dogs and 2 cats (who think they are dogs). I treat all animals as they were mine and love them all the same.
“Taylor is wonderful! This was her first time looking after our menagerie (a cat with a heart condition, a bearded dragon and a crested gecko) and we were so impressed. She was thorough, detail oriented and communicated very well! We would definitely hire her again!”
About: The personalized care and genuine love we give to every dog we look after. We take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Working in the animal medical industry gave us the knowledge needed We treat every pup like they’re our own—with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! We also believe communication is important, so keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For us, dog sitting isn’t just a job—it’s about building trust with both dogs and their people. We are organized, dependable, and able to plan the day around the needs of the dogs we care for. We enjoy having the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention while still maintaining a consistent routine. High fenced in yard Many parks and trails within walking distance Plenty of space in the home where special needs can be accommodated Experience with administrating meds and first aid care
“Marlo provided excellent, highly responsive care for Cleo while we were away! Cleo was obviously enamoured of her, as well as happy and content when we got home. Great photos and communication!”
“Danielle does a great job with our fur monster, she leaves the house perfectly in order. Is great with communication and photos. We have had her a couple of times now and will gladly have her again. She is very trustworthy and has a delightful personality.”
About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month.

I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.

“Maria and her family took exceptional care of our cat while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such responsible and caring hands. She kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures which made us very happy and reassured us. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and close to home. It was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend! Atanu and Sanjukta Sengupta Milton”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
