About: hiii, I’m Devin! (I’m new to Rover) I have (ongoing) experience volunteering at multiple humane societies, volunteering at an animal sanctuary, pet sitting, and I’m going into a Veterinary Technician program next year! I spend lots of my time caring for, playing with and loving animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Patience, consistency, and making animals feel safe and comfortable is very important. Volunteering and spending my time with animals reinforces how important it is to meet the needs of every specific individual animal. Im comfortable following specialized care and medical instructions carefully and paying close attention to changes in behaviour or needs. I’ve given prescribed medication to animals in many ways, many times so I’m 100% okay and accommodating to special care animals. I’m especially good with shy, anxious, or sensitive animals and try to create a calm, low-stress environment for them. I read, watch and learn lots about animals everyday. I have many certifications around animals as well; like the ‘Fear Free’ certification for example. What sets me apart is my experience and also that I genuinely care about animals as individuals and that I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries rather than treating care as “just a job”. This is something I’m very passionate about. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being attentive to their needs. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, medication if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m someone who pays close attention to routines and details, so I understand the importance of consistency for animals. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’m patient and adapt to what helps them feel safest and happiest. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and low-stress as possible. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, bathroom breaks, and rest so they can feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels to make sure pets are comfortable and getting the care they need. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and make sure they have space, attention, and calm interaction at their own pace. Safety and cleanliness are also important to me, and I make sure pets have a secure environment, fresh water, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owner is away.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and love getting to know each animal's unique personality. My experience includes caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, as well as raising four cats through every stage of life, from kittens to seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll provide patient and personalized care adjusted to their needs. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy walks, hikes, and runs, so I would bring your pet with me if that's what they like too! I also have a fenced backyard (for more relaxed outdoor activities) and nearby trails for plenty of exercise. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I'm happy to travel to you. With my own car, I can also take dogs to parks or dog-friendly beaches for extra adventure, if you'd like. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I'm happy to help! I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry family member and will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. :) I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll make it work. I can either take care of your pet at your place or mine. If it is your place, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. To my living situation: I currently live in a house with my partner without any pets or children. We have a fenced backyard and would have enough space for a crate in the house.

“Vanessa took great care of our elderly dog and our cat while we were away. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and we knew they were in good, caring hands.”

“Rhonda took great care of our kitty and home. She communicated promptly if she had questions or concerns and sent daily photos. She left the house in spotless condition! Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

Alison D.

“This was the second time we had Andrea stay with our 3 dogs and cat, this time for 7days. She gave me daily updates and when she left our house was left in great, clean condition. Nice to come home to!”

Nicole E.

“I had the pleasure of having Vanessa stay in my home for six days to care for my dog and two cats while I was travelling, and she did a fantastic job. From the start, Vanessa was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly wanted to make sure she got everything right, which I really appreciated. She has a very sweet and caring personality. Throughout my trip, Vanessa kept in touch with me consistently, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure I always felt at ease knowing my pets and home were in good hands. She was flexible, respectful, and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my animals. I would absolutely book with Vanessa again in the future. It means a lot to find someone dependable, kind, and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you again, Vanessa! I really appreciate you! :)”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and respect for animals, paired with a calm, reliable presence that pets quickly trust. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means energetic walks for dogs or quiet love for shy cats. I’m detail oriented, communicative, and always ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. My experience includes senior pets, new borns, medication administration, and nervous animals who need extra patience. I treat every pet like family and take pride in creating a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and with my part-time work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I structure my days around their needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening playtime and cuddles. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. My home is pet friendly, clean, and fully prepared for furry guests, with a secure, fenced in yard perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and plenty of space to roam. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
