House Sitting St. Catharines

“Very grateful that Luisa could care for Alfie while I was at work. He absolutely loved her as seen by the cuddles he was giving her in the pictures I received. Luisa sent me lots of pictures and was prompt to reply to my messages. She even cleaned up the accident my landlord's dog had even though he wasn't her responsibility. I appreciated her overall care and thoughtfulness towards Alfie and his needs.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have always loved helping friends and family with taking care of their furry family members. In the last 5 years I have expanded that love and passion to professionally helping clients in need of my service. I have a very flexible schedule and love providing pets with attentive and kind care for any alloted time necessary to meet a client's needs. I have a very flexible schedule and because I love what I do I like to spend as much time as I can providing a dependable pet care service. I offer trustworthy and reliable house and animal sitting. I am good at following any instructions you may have for your pets. I stick firmly to owner's schedules for their animal's care routine and needs. I have experience and patience to deal with many different animals physical and characteristic uniqueness.

About: I have had Dobermans for decades and they are a very emotionally and physically high-maintenance breed, which has given me an abundant amount of experience. The pets I sit are inside my house or in my yard at all times, limiting the potential for any altercations or incidents with strange dogs off my property. The yard is over a hundred feet deep with no potential hazard to dogs, no need for leash-walking, they are free to run and do their business as they please. Home full-time to care for the dog I sit and I only sit 1 single dog at a time, and the dog remain on my property, in the house or in the backyard at all times. I live alone in my house, and the 100-feet backyard is fully fenced and free of any hazard so dogs are safe there to run and play at all time.

“Chelsea was wonderful. Taz seemed to warm to her quickly. She was well looked after and Chelsea was diligent about updating me with any concerns. The house was left spotless and instructions followed perfectly upon her departure. Would definitely recommend and would love to have her back.”

“We hired Kiara to sit our 2 dogs over a long weekend. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. Kiara immediately showered my dogs with sincere kindness and attention and they loved her back right from that very first moment. It was obvious she genuinely loves dogs. She listened carefully to my care instructions and asked appropriate questions about our pets as well as our home. While we were away, she kept us updated with short videos and photos and reached out to us whenever she needed clarification. She was prompt to reply to any of my inquiries as well. We felt very comfortable with Kiara looking after our dogs in our home. After our trip, we arrived to 2 happy dogs and our house being just as clean and tidy as we left it. In all, I would highly recommend Kiara to care for anyone’s dogs. She is trustworthy, kind and truly caring.”

About: Many years of experience with many breeds and ages of dogs, cats and horses. I continuously learn about new technics to improve my skills to care, to groom, to train. Currently available during the week for visits, walks and grooming as well as short-term boarding. Prefer well socialized animals so that if I need to walk with several dogs or have a cat and a dog owner needing boarding, the animals can at least live within the same environment. I will walk the dogs on a leash in a safe environment; trail, walkways to ensure minimal interactions. I will let the dog off leash in a dog park if we are by ourselves; this will help at the beginning while we get to know each other and I know the dog is focus on me before introducing his/her to other dogs.

About: With three years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to giving each pet personalized attention and care. I have experience with puppy training basics like leash walking and potty routines, and I’m patient and gentle with senior pets who need extra time and comfort. Pet care is my top priority — I am fully available and flexible to fit your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after anytime you need. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always make safety and comfort my top priorities. I feed them on schedule, make sure they have fresh water, and keep their living space clean and cozy. I give them lots of love, playtime, and attention so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I follow any special instructions you provide, from giving medication to sticking to training routines. I respect your home and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Incredible experience! Our dog Watson warmed up to Heaven so quickly which is unusual for him. We felt comfortable and confident going out knowing he was in great hands.”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

About: Hi, I’m Anna! 🐾🩷 I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and there’s honestly nothing quite like the happiness and companionship they bring into our lives. I love spending time with pets because every dog has their own little personality. Whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cuddly, or happiest curled up beside you, I genuinely enjoy getting to know them and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a very caring and attentive pet sitter, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I love going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles and belly rubs, and of course taking way too many photos! 😂🐶 Knowing that I can give someone peace of mind while they’re away is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. There’s nothing better than coming home to a happy pup — and I feel pretty lucky that I get to be part of that. 💕 I’ve always had dogs in my life and absolutely love being around them. 🐾 I currently have my own little pup, Pepper, who is a Pomeranian/Bichon mix and is very much part of the family. He’s playful, affectionate, an absolute pampered prince and has given me lots of experience understanding the little quirks and personalities that make every dog different. 🩷 I also have experience caring for other people’s dogs through pet sitting and dog boarding, including regular repeat clients. I’ve cared for dogs with different ages, energy levels, personalities, and routines, and I’m comfortable providing walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication when needed, and lots of cuddles. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’m very attentive to their routine and individual needs. My goal is always for them to feel happy, safe, and completely at home while they’re in my care. 🐶💕 I work from home and I live in the north end of St. Catharines. My home backs onto sunset beach (Lake Ontario) and there are endless pathways to explore! I am available for extended stays in my home and welcome to short term, drop ins and doggy walking - I’m flexible with scheduling and also willing to travel a reasonable distance! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, I currently have a little Pomeranian mix floof puppy. I understand that your pets are family and I promise to love them dearly and make them feel safe in your absence :)

“It was my very first time with Rover I was worried at the beginning but must say Lexie had a very good time with Varsha. She took care of her very well .I was very late to pick her up at night but she managed to keep her . Looking forward to work with her more .”

About: I am a friendly, energetic 26 year old who loves all furry friends! Growing up on a farm, I have had a long history of working with animals. I love dogs, and I began dog sitting and taking care of dogs when my family adopted our dog Riley 10 years ago. Through the years, my family has also fostered many dogs, and I have really enjoyed taking the dogs out for long walks, runs, and out to play. I would love to take care of your dog for you, whether they’re big, small, shy, outgoing, lazy or energetic. (I am also very good with cats and other small animals). I look forward to meeting you and your pet. When I am looking after a pet, their care is my top priority. I always put them first and give them as much attention as they need. I care for pets in my home very attentively and thoughtfully. If a pet has a favourite treat or a favourite activity or enjoys being pet a certain way I will make sure to give them that treat activity or walk.

About: Hello! My name is Nathalie and I am an animal lover looking to care for the pets of others!

I have great experience in handling approaches for both dogs and cats, administration of medications (including injections), dog walking, nail trims, pet caretaking and customer service. I have two cats of my own and hoping to get a dog in the near future as well! My goal is to continue helping others and establishing great relationships with both humans and their furry loved ones. I’m currently looking to do pet care full time Monday-Friday so I am fully available and flexible throughout each week day. I am available 9am until 9pm and open to overnights/different timing if needed. I provide all pet care at the comfort of your home and can provide dog walking services for as long as you’d like - whether its 30 minutes or 1 hour, I am happy to discuss your pets needs.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for over 13 years, and I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs! From senior dogs requiring medication and caring for my own dog with epilepsy, to energetic pups needing patience and training, I’ve experienced it all. I’ve also adopted a formerly feral cat, helping her feel safe, comfortable, and loved, training her myself and teaching her to be an indoor cat. I’ve watched birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I truly believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and individual attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a full time student at Seneca College, working toward my degree in Behavioural Psychology! My classes alternate between Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but since they’re all online, I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available day or night, weekdays or weekends, and I’m always happy to help with last minute needs, holidays, emergencies, or simply giving your furry friend some extra love and attention when life gets busy! Your pets’ happiness and well being are always a priority to me! I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and enriching environment! My own cat, for example, is incredibly spoiled, with a filtered water fountain, a carefully varied diet of wet and dry food, multiple cozy beds, a toy bin, two cat trees, scratching posts, and even her own outdoor enclosure! I also love taking her on adventures with her leash and harness and would love to do the same with your kitty. For dogs, I love going on long walks, exploring new areas, and switching up routes to keep things exciting! I enjoy playing with pets both indoors and outdoors, working on training, and capturing lots of adorable photos along the way. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll always prioritize their safety, comfort, individual needs, and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel just as loved and spoiled as my own!

“It was a pleasure to meet Neonica and have her in our home. She was able to entertain Sully for two hours outside giving him lots of exercise. I enjoyed the video she shared and a follow up picture of a very tired puppy. Already looking forward to having her back.”
