Pet Sitting Rosendale

“Shannon is a great dog sitter! I have three barky dogs that can be nervous around new people. They warmed up quickly to Shannon during the meet and greet and didn't bark at all when she arrived for her first check in. I feel very comfortable having Shannon take care of my precious pups and will definitely hire her again.”

“Our big Airedale is usually pretty hyper around new people. The second Justine walked in the door, he fell in love with her and was so calm because of her demeanour. We needed someone who was kind but firm with our strong boy, and with Justine being an experienced vet tech and horse enthusiast, she was just what we needed (if she can handle horses and animals stressed at the vet, she can handle our excitable dog!). On top of her wonderful personality, experience, and confidence, she’s a great communicator and very reliable for scheduling and planning walks. And, even when the weather isn’t great for a walk, she finds other ways to burn our dog’s energy. Would recommend Justine to anyone because of how reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely kind and capable she is! Thank you, Justine! So glad we found you!”

“Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️”

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

“Randi was wonderful! She took great care of my cat Millie while we were away on vacation, and provided updates and photos daily. We felt assured that Millie was in good hands! We won’t hesitate to book her again.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience. I've cared for my own dogs and cats since childhood, helped foster puppies and dogs, gained professional experience caring for animals, and spent years providing trusted pet care for friends, family, and neighbours. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Waterloo and am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy staying active through walks while providing pets with the attention, companionship, and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and week, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience entering and caring for clients' homes through previous positions, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and trustworthy in someone else's space. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. For services in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to secure walking routes, a fenced play area, and a nearby fenced dog park for exercise and enrichment.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one. My childhood home always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals teaching me diverse pet care skills early on. Today, I bring that lifelong passion and hands-on experience to your pets, with a specialized focus on comforting senior dogs and nursing pets back to health My Monday–Friday day job (6:30 AM – 3:00 PM) paired with my husband’s afternoon schedule leaves our home flexible and well-attended. I am available for evening walks, daily drop-ins, and weekend overnights Our relaxing yard in bridgeport is a nature oasis for dogs. Lots of trees, wild life and even view of Laurel Creek. We are a 7 minute walk to Bechtel park (trails and dog park) and 3 minutes to the grand river. Our best buddy Charles will be sure to show your pup all the best spots!

“Lynn did drop-in visits with our cat, Reggie, for a weekend and we were so happy with her care, patience and communication. She was great listening to Reggie's needs during the meet and greet and he was comfortable in her presence. Lynn was quick communicating after each visit and in-between. We haven't had a sitter successfully play with Reggie so when she sent photos of him showing off his hunting skills we knew he was enjoying the time with her which gave us overwhelming relief. We will definitely be contacting Lynn in the future!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I currently care for my own cats, which has given me strong experience with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I’m patient with pets who may be shy, anxious, or adjusting to a new routine while their owners are away. I can help reinforce basic puppy training habits like consistency with routines, positive reinforcement, and structured walks. I’m also attentive to senior pet care, making sure older pets are comfortable, sticking closely to their routines, and providing gentle care and extra patience when needed. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m very patient, observant, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to provide a calm, safe environment where pets feel loved and owners feel completely at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home overnight, which means my days are very open and flexible. Because of this schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and supervision while their owners are away. My flexible daytime schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s normal routine, helping them stay comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. Keeping pets in a familiar routine helps them feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very attentive and observant, making sure pets are always supervised and in a safe environment. I’m also careful about doors, gates, and outdoor safety during walks to ensure pets stay secure at all times. Communication is very important to me, so I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you’re away. Because I work from home overnight, my daytime schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.

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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 7 years old—so I have 17 years of hands-on experience. What truly sets me apart is how deeply I connect with each pet—I see them as family. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and every pet gets personalized love, care, and attention. I do this not just as a job, but because being with pets brings me peace and a true sense of purpose. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a part-time job, so my schedule is flexible—I’m available any day of the week, and either my partner or I am always home. Your pet will never be alone—there’s always someone here for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles! When caring for pets in my home, I don’t have a yard, but I do have a secure, fenced balcony where they can get fresh air. I keep their crate in my living room, right by the couch, so they’re always close by. My apartment faces a beautiful field, perfect for walks and playtime, just steps outside. When I care for pets in their home, I’m very flexible—I can adapt to their routine, and I’m happy to take them to a dog park or a local walking spot, even if it’s a bit farther. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family, no matter where we are.

“Jasmine was so great with my last minute request for a walk and drop-in. She had great communication and was so patient with all my questions. Comet was sleeping soundly when I came home so I know they had a good time. Highly recommend!”

“We had Bri let my dog and my cousins dog out during our wedding. She came by earlier in the week to get the lowdown and we were very pleased with her service. The dogs got to play outside and eat. We’ll definitely reach out to Bri in the future :)”

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 10 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

“Amanda always does a wonderful job with all my pets. I would highly recommend her!”

I am a musician and actor, and mostly work in the afternoon and evening, so in the daytime and late evening I am free to take care of your pet!
