“Linda was great with my dog Coco. She provided photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated. Coco was well taken care of and I would definitely book with Linda again.”

“Sheila is an exceptional cat/home sitter! She’s very attentive to Darcy’s quirks and takes good care! She also left my home immaculate and tended to my flowers ensuring they stayed gorgeous!”

“Ethan looked after our cat Banji for two weeks and did a great job. He was reliable and responsive, and Banji took to him right away, which made the whole trip easier for us. Highly recommended.”

“Zeno hit it off right away with Marie. Loves having Marie here to look after him when we leave the house. Zeno suffers from separation anxiety and had a fabulous time chilling with Marie while we were gone. (and we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone...which was wonderful)”

“Jamie was amazing! We are always skeptical getting someone new to watch our dogs as one of our dogs can get very anxious around new people but Jamie was able to win her over very quick! He made sure to keep us updated on how things were going while we were away, which was nice being able to see how happy our animals were! Coming home to a sparkling clean house was also something that was way beyond what we expected, but he had made sure everything was ready for our return. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like they are family Jamie goes above and beyond!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.

“Sara was once again incredible with our babies and we enjoyed our peaceful time away without stress. They know and trust her, and she treats them like she would her own. Last time she watched all 5 dogs, 2 bunnies and 1 cat and this time 4 dogs as one came with us on our trip! They are a handful and she has no problem with them including giving meds and special meal requirements! Thank you Sara!! You’re the best :)”

“This is our second booking with Caroline - it went just as well as the first. She is very responsive and great to work with and shows genuine care for our boys.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️

About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.

About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my Rover page! My name is Victoria and I've had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love all dogs. I currently work from home full time so I'm willing and able to dog sit and board dogs most of the time. I'm usually home every weekend as well. Would love to meet and greet your pets! My job is fully remote so I'm at home working full time. I am able to sit or board your pet into my weekly routine with ease. I always fit in a walk or two during my work day as well. I have a fenced yard, two big parks near my house for walks and a crate if need be. I provide peace of mind by sending pictures daily and making sure that your animals are well taken care of.

About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.

About: Welcome! We are a young married couple who adores animals. Caring for pets is our cherished side hobby rather than a high-volume business, so we choose to host only one family at a time. This allows us to offer a private and peaceful home sanctuary where we can pour 100% of our attention, warmth, and care into your little one. Our work-from-home schedule means your dog enjoys constant companionship, a gentle and quiet environment, and all the couch cuddles they could ever want. For our walking and house sitting services, we welcome well-mannered dogs of all sizes, ensuring every pup receives a tailored, boutique care experience. We are both small business owners with primarily work-from-home schedules. We have very flexible days and are able to give your pup all of the attention, cuddles, and supervision that it may need. We also love to drive the little one over to local hikes and beaches for safe but exciting afternoon adventures. Our home is peaceful with only two adults living here. We do not have kids or other pets and safety is our first priority. Our home is a stress-free, premium experience, particularly well, suited for smaller pets.

“We needed ozzie to be watched for the day while we were out and Nikhil was happy to help us out! We're so grateful that Nikhil is so accommodating. Thank you Nikhil and family, again!”

“Laura was amazing!! First time leaving my new puppy so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Laura was fantastic. Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.”

About: Since as long as I can remember I have loved all animals. I have owned and grown up with many different animals and dogs all my life. Owned a few different dog breeds from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. I currently own 2 senior Ridgebacks which are my precious babies. Growing up with dogs all my life has aloud me to gain the experience, patience and confidence to teach basic training commands and read body language fairly well. I also had the privilege of volunteering at a non profit dog rescue program where I was in charge of walking, feeding, providing medication and keeping the area clean. Animals deserve the best love and care♡ I am currently working a morning shift but will be available in the evenings Monday to Friday after 6 PM or weekends any time! 🙂 I can keep your furry pet company, play in the yard, take them for walks or even load them in the car and take them to a trail near by! Even cook a special meal! Anything they are needing to keep our furry friend happy🙂

About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats ever since I was around 12. I love all animals and I think they’re a gift to this world! I’ve dogsat while traveling as well which has been very nice since I can’t quite get my own dog yet until I’m settled down. I spend most of the year abroad but am back in the GTA for a couple of weeks! I’ve missed being around animals so would love to take care of your pets while your away. I will take care of your home and your pets as if they were my own. :) I’m a very clean and responsible person and you can count on me to take excellent care of your home and pets.
