Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lumsden

“Sarah was great to deal with, very responsive, took good care of our boy Jax while we were away for two weeks! Provided updates, and photos. Highly recommended”

Michael P.

“Julia was phenomenal. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my pup with her, I highly recommend her. My dog typically doesn’t eat while she’s in a new environment but Julia worked her magic and she was eating both breakfast and supper. For each day that we were away, she updated us with videos and photos of their adventures. Julia is extremely comfortable with animals and her knowledge and care is evident. I will be contacting her in the near future for her services. She is utterly amazing!”

Mariel H.

Joelle M.

“John and Lynda are really great. They are both so kind and it's clear they love dogs. They took great care of my babies. I truly felt like it was a safe place to leave them. Ive used them multiple times now and will again!”

Jordi G.

“Nicole was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! She was amazing with our dog who has lots of senior dog/small nervous dog issues. Great communication and very reliable and flexible. Would 100% book again.”

Heather M.

“Shavon was fantastic with our pup while we were away. We received regular updates and photos. She will be our first call the next time we go out of town.”

“I will be booking these sitters whenever I travel. My little Yorkie had a strange life before I adopted her recently. She is scared of everything, became glued to my hip the moment I got her, and hadn’t lived a normal dog life. She is afraid to trust others. I hated to have to take her from her new home so soon and leave her with someone else. But Pratheeksha and Nilaykumar were fantastic! Extremely patient as she slowly warmed up to them. They sent me pictures and notes frequently so I could see she was doing well. I was only gone two days and while she was excited to see me, she clearly had enjoyed her stay. She hates my car because every time she gets in it she has new scary experiences - vets and going to strangers homes. I knew she had been happy with her stay because her excitement at seeing me was short-lived when she realized we were getting in my car. She turned right around and ran back up the steps preferring to stay with her new friends rather than face the unknown horrors the car could bring! 😁 Fortunately for her - the trip was straight home. And as soon as her belongings were back in their places, she quickly returned to trusting me. So I knew her time away had been good. (And full of the one on one attention she needs!)”

“Tannis was amazing! Took care of Frodo like he was her own. My dog has high anxiety and she dealt with him very well! He left happy and calm.”

Jessica S.

“Becca is so good with our old girl!! She’s stayed with this sitter 4 times now and she always treats our Sadie like a queen. Thanks for looking after her again.”

Brian C.

“Our small dog had a great experience with Wenyu. We met him and his wife as well as his dogs prior to our booking and this allowed us to put our mind at ease. A medical issue came up with our dog just before dropping her off and Wenyu had no issues with dispensing her needed medication. They took great care of her and she seemed at ease and rested when we picked her up. I highly recommend Wenyu.”

Jennifer O.

“Lindsey and her kiddos were amazing! They truly love and care for Murphy and he had such a great time! Definitely would be rebooking with her when we are away again!”

Elizabeth and Sarah T.

“Alyssa was amazing! I was so nervous to meet & greet with her as our one pug can be nippy at new people. We arrived at her house and our pug’s tail was wagging so much! We booked her for one day and our fur babies were well treated. They loved her deck & fenced backyard! Will definitely rebook with her again!!”

Joanne S.

“Charmaine is an excellent pet sitter and clearly showed my pet all the love and affection he needed while I was away. She is very communicative and provides daily updates to show how my pet was doing. I had no issues whatsoever and highly recommend her!”

Nathaniel G.

“Gisele was calm and patient. She was very good for a senior dog with some anxiety. We have used rover before, but our last experience left our pup seeming depressed. Gisele was our last try for this app, and we were not disappointed. Would have her watch our dog again. Thanks Gisele”

Lexi T.

“Marc was excellent with my little Yorkie. She was very recently rescued from an unusual situation and doesn’t act like you might expect a dog to act. She is also still afraid of almost everything and everyone. But she took to Marc right away and he was very understanding of her situation and she obviously enjoyed her stay.”

About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, helping them adapt to their environment through desensitization and positive reinforcement techniques. I specialize in supporting puppies during their early developmental stages, guiding them in establishing proper potty habits and building a strong foundation for good behavior. In addition, I assist pet owners by providing structured outings that encourage socialization and exposure to new environments. These experiences are especially valuable for dogs learning to remain calm and well-mannered in public settings, including dog-friendly retail spaces. I am currently working full time but i am in and out of the house sometimes gone for 5-6 hours a day. Will be free after 3 pm weekdays most weekdays. Pet care is always number one. I offer a fully fenced yard with a secure 6-foot fence, providing a safe and spacious environment for dogs to play. My friendly pack of well-socialized dogs loves welcoming new companions, making it a great setting for positive interactions and playtime. I can accommodate a variety of needs—dogs can be safely crated if preferred, or enjoy supervised time outdoors on clean, well-maintained artificial turf. In addition to the main yard, I also have crates available and a separate outdoor dog run for added flexibility and safety.

“Karrie was great to deal with. She responded to messages fast and once we arrived accepted my dog into her home. She sent updates on how the stay was going and pictures. My dog had a good time. Hope to use her again.”

Jennifer H.

“Alyssa did a fantastic job with our dog, giving us the peace of mind that he was safe and well looked after. Plus she sent us pictures of him regularly. We would definitely work with Alyssa again!”

Heather M.

“Lacey was so incredibly accommodating with our last minute request to watch our lil guy when we had a friend back out! We were in town for a wedding and needed a sitter! Lacey is so kind and had great communication!! I highly recommend her!! If we are ever in the area again we know who we can trust!”

I love every critter out there and treat each one likes it’s my own. If you need someone to look after your pet, take it for a walk or even just check in while you’re away or at work I’m your girl! I also have a lot of experience with administering medication and watching pets with special care. I’m reliable for you and patient with your pets. Im excited to cuddle them, love them and take care of them for you.

“Used Sarah a few times in the past to look after animals. She cares deeply about our animals and has great availability. My family is very grateful we can leave for the day or weekend with peace of mind our animals are safe at home.”

Timothy R.

“Michelle was loved and appreciated by my kitties. She spent lots of time with them which was so important to me, and to them. She kept in touch with me regularly during the 7 days I was away, giving me updates and videos, which I really appreciated. My kitties are social and love attention. I think Michelle was just perfect for the job. She also left the house in fantastic shape, having cleaned and vacuumed. I will hire Michelle again for sure!”

About: “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong."- W.R. Purche — I love animals. My family always had cats and a dogs growing up. However, it wasn’t until I adopted my own dog and cat 9 years ago that I gained a newfound appreciation for the unconditional love, comfort and companionship they provide. I have been pet-sitting for family and friends for 10 years. I would love to help care for your pet when you are not able to. I work full time as a teacher. However, I am available most evenings and weekends. I am also available in July and August and would love to help care for your fur baby. I am an active pet owner and am well-versed in multiple dog breed needs and personalities. I have a border collie so understand high-energy dogs quite well. I have experience with agility, mental stimulation games, obedience and commands, pet safety and health, walking multiple dogs, crate training and pet medical needs. I also love going for leisurely strolls and just hanging out with pets! I ensure any pet messes are cleaned up in your home as quickly as possible. I will be diligent in caring for your pet the way you require, because they are your baby and deserve the very best.

“Responsive, friendly, and helpful.”

“Lynda and John were superb in taking care of Kopiko! They have backyard where my energetic dog played. They’ve been patient with my dog too and tried to engage him through treats and commands. Kopiko was super sleepy on his way home! A day well spent! Thank you both 😌”

“Was absolutely amazing with our dogs who are a total handful”

Hannah M.

About: I've always loved animals. I have a psych degree, and learning about positive re-enforcement and and training pets to do tricks is my favourite thing. I'm self employed so my schedule is flexible. I am also nomadic, so I'm happy to travel to a new place to care for a pet, and be somewhere new I take time to get to know each animal, their wants and needs, and most importantly, their personalities. My goal is to make any separation from their persons as easy as possible

“Jana walked a shepherd puppy that I had in my care. She arrived on time and gave him a good walk. He came back a tired and therefore well behaved pup.”
