About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“We are so grateful to have found Sarah to watch our cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely timid and Sarah was very kind and patient with her - she's the only cat sitter that our girl has ever liked. We appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be hiring Sarah to watch our cats in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.
“Jade was amazing! We booked her in last minute and she was great! She made the time to come meet our cats before her visits and was super responsive throughout the week. Would highly recommend if you need someone local.”
“Karen was great, would highly recommend her services. She was wonderful and easy to connect with and communicate with. She asked questions and was very good at keeping us up to date with her arrival and leaving. She also took AMAZING photos of our pup.”
“I'm very happy I found Chelsea, she's so kind and great with my two cats. She's very responsive and puts me at ease when I'm away knowing they are in good hands. Thanks so much Chelsea, I've already rebooked! :)”
“My dog was immediately at ease and comfortable with Jackie and my cats liked her a lot as well. She listened to all my instructions. I will certainly book with her again.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality! I’m comfortable with everyday care including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand they may need extra patience, gentler activity, and care. I’m experienced with giving oral medications when needed and am comfortable following specific care instructions. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a cozy day on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday to Friday, so my availability for dog walking and drop-in visits is primarily in the evenings (6PM onwards) and on weekends I have fully open availability. I’m happy to discuss my availability to make sure each pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy! I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special needs. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also giving pets space when they need it. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour or routine and will keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”
“Jenny was prompt arriving each day, gave us excellent reports with photos of our kitties and did everything we asked and more. We would definitely hire her again. Thank you!”
“Lise and Luwam did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 cats. They even went above and beyond and filled their puzzle toys with treats and gave them lots of cuddles. Highly recommend this dynamic duo for your time away from your babies.”
About: I grew up in a house that raised dogs for show and for families. I am quite comfortable with small dogs like dachshunds to big dogs like boxers. I am also comfortable with any age pet . My friends often call me a “dog whisperer”. I am a retired occasional teacher. I am available April through November. I enjoy walking so it would be a great opportunity to take your pet for a walk. I will only be able to come to your place to take care of your dog. I live in an apartment that does not allow dogs.
“Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++”
“Kristen is amazing. Our cats warmed up to her immediately and she reads their cues well to engage with them. She's very communicative and provides detailed summaries of her visits, which is very reassuring. Highly recommend Kristen!”
About: I love animals and always have fun playing with them. I have my own puppy that is always so friendly with other animal. Be it dogs or cats.

Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!
Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!
