House Sitting in Shelburne

“Jacobe responded very quickly to my last minute request when another sitter had to cancel last minute. He made a trip to meet myself and Millie before the booking was confirmed so we could make sure Millie and I were comfortable with him. He took very good care of both Millie and my friend's dog Buddy, sent lots of photos so we could see how it was going and left everything in great shape, including a couple of tired, happy dogs. I would definitely book him again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young and really enjoy spending time with, and caring for my furry friends while their human is away. It's comforting to be able provide peace of mind to my clients and quality care for their animals, while they are out of town. I have lots of time to spend with your pets in the mornings before work and then late afternoon/evenings and I am available weekends all day. I am available to provide care for your pets in your home. Most of my clients have left me a rundown of their pet's feeding and walking schedules, any medications they may need and what they enjoy most as well as any additional information that will help me become acquainted with their pet quickly and easily. I follow all directions as given.

About: I have always loved animals. I personally have always had dogs/cats growing up and my family&friends relied on me multiple times to help take care of their pets while away! My current job requires me to care for 2 dogs and a cat all day! I do work full time but am available early in the morning or anytime after 5 on weekdays! During the weekend I do have more flexibility available :) I currently have two cats that have full free roam of my house. I have watched multiple dogs, I do have easy access to a trail for long walks!

About: Hey there! I’m here to help you with all your pet care needs! I am a true animal lover, I have a dog of my own named Aria who is literally my world alongside my son. Growing up I had my family dog, Sushi, and my two cats, Bella and Sylvester. I have been caring for animals since I was very young and it truly is one of my passions. I have been dog walking for about 10 years now. It started out just walking a couple friends dogs and now I am on Rover.

I am a nursing student in a hybrid program. I am at home most of the time, I have a dog myself so I am home most of the time caring to her and my young child! I ensure that all dogs/cats get the privacy or walks that they need. Every animal is different and I adjust my care to each animals needs. We take every safety precaution and since I have a dog, it’s always strongly recommended we do a meet and greet before hand to ensure everyone gets along!

“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a 23 year old business owner with over 10 years experience caring for animals of all kinds. I first started by looking after my grandparents' four German Shepards starting at age 12, and since then I've cared for many friends and neighbours pets - including dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, bunnies, and even reptiles! Alongside pet-care, I also have extensive experience with house-sitting and babysitting for multiple families over the years. This has included housekeeping, garbage and utility management, general home upkeep, and consistent home security. I'd love to connect and support you, your pets, and your home in anyway I can! Looking forward to chatting! Earlier this year, I opened my own landscaping business after working in the industry for over six years. As the season winds down, I’m excited to return to a few things I genuinely enjoy—like pet and house sitting. My business grew enough this year that I now have a small team, which means I’ll still be able to continue offering Rover services full-time even once the landscaping season begins again. I also work as a snowboard instructor on Saturdays from 7am–3pm, which is the only time I’m unavailable. Outside of that, most of my design work is done remotely, giving me plenty of flexibility. I’m genuinely excited to help keep your pets happy and your home well-cared for, no matter the season! I think one of the most important morals - and something I always stand by - is being dedicated to caring for your pets and home with the same attention I give to my own. At the same time, I believe your pets and home deserve the same respect and love you would show them yourself - almost as if you never left! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining the routines they know best - feeding schedules, walk times, bedtime habits, and all the little things that make them feel secure. I make sure their environment stays safe, clean, and stress-free, always keeping doors, gates, and personal items exactly as you left them. I also send consistent updates so you’re always aware of how things are going. When pets stay in my home, I ensure the environment is just as safe and structured. I make space for their belongings, maintain their routines, and keep a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere. I pay close attention to comfort, cleanliness, and supervision so they feel welcomed and at ease in a new space. These beliefs guide everything I do. Building trust with both my clients and their pets is always the first step toward creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience. I want you to feel completely confident that your space and your animals are in reliable hands.

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family and am comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and basic care. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping dogs safe, happy, and active. I follow instructions carefully and always make sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to schedule walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets my full attention, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet different needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I provide a safe and structured environment with a fully fenced 2-acre yard for supervised play and exercise. I stick to each dog’s routine, including feeding and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention, activity, and care throughout the day.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From barn animals, to wild, as well as our indoor furry friends - I’ve mingled with just about every animal in Ontario. I love their personalities and teaching them new tricks - I also have experience working with senior animals and know that they need even more extra love and care. Working with me means working with someone who wants to love your animals just as much as you do! Currently, I’m a freshman in college working towards a graphic design degree! (I also offer design services 😉) I am able to balance my classes quite well - I am available full time in the fall/winter/early spring, along side attending classes. I work a seasonal position in the summer, but would still love to help out with your furry friends! My home has a large fenced in, dog proof yard - plenty of space to run and play. My dogs have made their own daily running route! They obviously get fed daily, as well as walked. There is a large dog friendly park about 5 minutes away from my house as well. Currently, I am also in the process of training one of my dogs at home - so there is some equipment I have that can be used for training (IE - lead, treat bag, training leash, toys, etc)

“A Lifesaver for Royce! ​We had an incredibly stressful start to our trip when our initial housesitter unexpectedly left Royce alone for over 12 hours on the very first day. We were contemplating cutting our trip short, but then Bharti stepped in like an absolute angel. Despite it being a last-minute request, she was a true lifesaver! ​I was understandably anxious since we didn't get a chance to meet Bharti beforehand or introduce her to Royce, but she was absolutely amazing. She understood Royce's needs and took the time to let him get comfortable with her. In no time, Royce was happily following her around the house. ​Bharti truly went above and beyond. From cooking Royce his home-cooked meals to keeping our house in tip-top condition, she handled everything flawlessly. She provided regular updates, which truly put our minds at ease while we were so far away. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We truly believe everything happens for a reason, and finding Bharti was definitely meant to be!”

“Tessa and Victoria did a great job looking after Sam! He was happy and comfortable while we were away overnight. He was even looking for them after they left. I would recommend Tessa and Victoria to anyone!”

“Mary’s the best! She was incredible with our crazy 18 month old boxer. She made us feel so comfortable, wanting to understand our dogs routine perfectly and provided constant updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience 😊”

“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”
