“Eric always takes great care of my dog. He kept my condo clean and tidy, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I’ll definitely continue to book Eric to look after my dog—highly recommended!”


“Judy was amazing with my little Lulu! She paid attention to detail and asked questions for further information to ensure Lulu was comfortable and happy while we left her with Judy. She also sent constant updates and was open in her communication, which I really appreciated! I will definitely ask Judy to watch Lulu again.”


“Highly recommended! It was the first time we hired Tara and we were very satisfied with her work, she made it possible for me to enjoy the trip with daily updates sending me photos and videos and giving me details of their behavior. And I could check it with the calm that was noticeable in dogs. She took note of every detail of the routine that we apply at home and respect each of the indications that I put in writing. And when I returned I could also notice that they were totally calm, I did not notice any stress in them, they even looked very relaxed under their care. Thank you so much for everything Tara, I really appreciate how you took care of my boys.”

“I have no words to describe how fantastic Angela is. She was extremely kind and patient sending me multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and taking the very best care of my cats. I trust her completely and feel that I will be able to enjoy traveling more now that I know I can rely on her. I have two cats, one is easy and she and Angela became instant bffs. The other one is a bit more temperamental and he slowly started warming up to Angela, who respected his space and humor. Thanks you so much Angela. You are the best”


“Exceptional Cat Sitting Experience with Stephanie I recently had the pleasure of booking Stephanie through Rover for my cat Oliver, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment Stephanie walked through the door, it was evident that she had a special connection with animals. Oliver, who is usually quite reserved around strangers, took to her immediately. Within no time, he was cuddling up to her as if they had been lifelong friends.Stephanie's affectionate nature and genuine love for animals were apparent in every interaction with Oliver. She not only followed all of Oliver's routines meticulously but also went above and beyond to ensure his comfort and happiness while I was away. I felt reassured knowing that Oliver was in such caring and capable hands.Stephanie's dedication to her work as a cat sitter on Rover truly shines through in her attention to detail and her ability to forge strong bonds with the animals in her care. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Oliver and I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Stephanie, for providing such a wonderful experience for Oliver and for giving me peace of mind while I was away.”


About: I grew up with dogs and have loved them deeply since I was a kid. From early childhood until I was 13, dogs were a big part of my life—I’ve always seen them as loyal best friends. I also volunteered at a dog shelter, where I played with the dogs, helped clean the space, and gave them lots of love and attention. Spending time with animals truly brings me joy, and I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away I currently work a 9–5 office job, but I’m available to care for your furry babies in the evenings after work and full-time on my days off (Sunday and Monday). While I’m away during the day, my husband—who works from home—will be there to step in and provide attentive, loving care. We work as a team to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, we take turns to make sure your pets are cared for around the clock. I live in a pet-friendly condo and there are safety net in every single window. Besides, I have 3 friendly short-hair babies to keep your fur baby company.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. But more than that—I’ve rescued and cared for dogs who had no one else. Back in my home country, I would take in abandoned or injured dogs, help them heal, and give them the love and attention they deserved. Every one of them taught me something different: patience, empathy, trust. Some were scared. Some were full of energy. All of them just wanted to feel safe. That’s why when I care for someone else’s dog, I don’t just walk them or feed them—I try to understand them. I notice their moods, I respect their pace, and I treat them like they’re part of my own family. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be loved. Right now, I’m not working a full-time job, which gives me the opportunity to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether that means early walks, cuddle time, or check-ins during the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love making them feel safe, seen, and cared for. At the moment, I’m not able to host pets in my home since I rent a room, but I’d be happy to care for your pet in your home, where they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. Every time I’ve cared for pets in the past, I’ve stayed at their family’s home, and it has always been a smooth and positive experience. I treat each pet with the same love and respect I’d give my own. When it comes to safety and trust, I always begin by asking pet parents about their rules and preferences. Every animal is unique, and I make sure to follow their routines and needs closely. I truly care for every pet as if they were mine. Their peace, safety, and happiness are my top priority, because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for my own furry babies.

By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that every pet receives the highest level of care, making their time with me enjoyable and fulfilling.

“Tiffany is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my dog really well when I was out of town. Tiffany took detailed notes of his daily routine and sent me updates frequently. I would definitely recommend her to pet parents. You could leave your pet and home under Tiffany’s amazing care without stress”


About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I’m a responsible, animal-loving individual who’s happiest when hanging out with furry friends. I have been around animals my whole life. I looked after my grandma's cat, Buri, in Bangladesh, for 4 years. I have experience taking care of my pet rabbit, Snow, for 8 years. I have taken care of multiple cats and dogs of all sizes (mostly big dogs) over the last 5 years. I am also comfortable administering medication, if needed. I am happy to accommodate any special needs whenever possible. I adapt my approach to match each pet's personality and individual needs. I can handle many temperaments, but, I would prefer that your pet is not too aggressive. I will cuddle with your pups as much as they want, but also offer lots of outside stimulation to keep them engaged and active. I'll certainly love to take them on long walks or a short walk to check out the smells in the neighborhood, whatever your pup prefers. They will be fed in a timely manner and receive plenty of treats occasionally :) 📅 I am currently a volunteer in an online distress center and taking online classes. I have lots of free time during my day to spend with your adorable pets. 📅 🩹Safety & Trust🩹 I will walk your dog the way you prefer (off leash or not), but I ask that you let me know their habits beforehand as some dogs are very reactive around other dogs or humans. I will always make sure your pet is healthy, eating and playing, and happy. I will ensure your pups (or kitties, etc.) feel safe and are comfortable under my care. If you are looking for someone easy-going and patient to care for your lovely pups (kitties or any others), feel free to contact me. Rest assured, your furry friends will be in great hands! Thanks for stopping by 😊🐾

“Leala is absolutely amazing! She was very flexible in how long she stayed to watch our dog. She provides many photos and videos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I strongly recommend Leala on Rover, and she will be my first choice the next time I need to leave my dog. Thank you Leala!!”


About: 🐾 Hi, my name is Mel. I'm an 18 year old university student studying life sciences with the goal of becoming a veterinarian in the near future. My friends would describe me as a patient, open minded individual with a love for learning. 🐾 I have grown up with animals my whole life and have a good amount of experience handling pets of different kinds. Both my parents have a master's degree in agriculture and have inspired my deep love for science and the natural world. ⏰ --UNIVERSITY SCHEDULE NOW IN PLACE, CONTACT FOR DETAILS-- MONDAYS: BUSY from 12pm-4pm TUESDAYS: BUSY WEDNESDAYS: FREE THURSDAYS: BUSY from 1pm-5pm FRIDAYS: BUSY from 10am-12pm SATURDAY & SUNDAY: FREE Any time that aside from the above mentioned class times can be assumed to be free time for me. "BUSY" means I am in person attending a class. For any clarification or a digital copy of my full schedule, please talk to me. I'd be more than happy to work things out with you. If any events aside from classes come up I will let you know as soon as I can. Another important note: As a young student, my primary method of transportation is the TTC. To avoid delays, I'd prefer if your location is within 10-12km of the Cedarbrae/Woburn Area. For visits that are outside the area range, please make sure that you let me know at least a day in advance so I can plan my trip accordingly. 🐶🐰 Your pets will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Animals are brilliant creatures and can recognize different people as well as develop different relationships with them. For the best possible experience, I would like to socialize with your pet and learn about them for one or two visits before I care for them on my own. For dog walks, please provide litter bags as well as the leash your dog is most comfortable with. If they have any favourite treats or toys, bring those too! For small animal/reptile boarding, please bring their enclosure and food as well as bedding if it is a long stay. For home visits I would feel most comfortable visiting you and your pet in your own home so that I can get familiarized with the area as well as your pet. ⚠️ Please note that I am not comfortable handling your pet if they are overly aggressive. Shy/timid animals are perfectly fine. For safety concerns, please make sure your pet is free from fleas and is up to date on their vaccines/medication. 🐰🐶 SERVICES OFFERED: - Home Visits - Dog Walks - Pet Boarding [SMALL ANIMALS/REPTILES ONLY]

“Amanda was a fantastic dog sitter. My dog, Lulu, absolutely fell in love with her, so much so that when Amanda was leaving, she was upset. We left Lulu in Amanda’s care for 3.5 weeks at our home. Lulu has a condition where she throws up the water she drinks and, as a result, needs to be burped. Lulu is also a very picky eater. Amanda sent me pictures and videos of Lulu and constantly updated me regarding Lulu’s vomiting and eating habits. Amanda was so attentive that she even measured how much water Lulu drank to ensure she wasn’t becoming dehydrated just in case she threw up. Amanda followed the schedule I had left for Lulu and played with her multiple times a day in a carpeted area, as Lulu has a knee condition that gets aggravated when she runs on hardwood. Amanda went above and beyond for my Lulu, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a caring, loving, and attentive dog sitter. I cannot thank Amanda enough for caring for Lulu and giving me the peace of mind to enjoy my trip.”


About: I love all critters: dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, chinchillas, birds and fish. I've been a cat owner my whole life and have a cat at the present time so I will not board at my house. I am a dog walker and house sitter. I used to own a Bearded Dragon lizard and don't mind handling snakes. I believe pets are less anxious if when their owners leave, the pet can remain at home. I will walk dogs twice at least when I stay over night and provide a lot of attention. I am able to provide basic grooming for both dogs and cats. Because I have a car, I will take your dog to the Cherry Beach dog park for a long fun-filled excursion. Your home and your pet will be well taken care of by me! I am currently free to pet sit and/or walk fulltime. I have several clients at the present time, but, have a lot of free time to serve you. Please check the calendar for my upcoming bookings. Since I have a cat, I prefer to pet sit at your home. I also think it is better for the pet. He/she will miss you when you're gone so at least being at home is less stressful for them. Since I have a roommate my kitty, Oscar, is well taken care of when I am at your home loving your little ones. It's important to note that I like to keep in regular contact with you pet owners and inform you about what I and your pets are doing. I also like to send pics!! You just let me know how often you want to hear from me.
