“Kathryn was great with my pup. She sent photos and videos to let me know how he was making out. She played fetch with him. I could relax knowing Khole was being so well taken care of. Couldn’t reccomend her enough honestly.”
About: I've raised and trained 4 dogs, with one being trained and registered as a Service Animal. My dog is not an animal but part of my family and I will treat yours with the same care and attention. I am flexible to meet whatever needs you and your pet have. I am availalbe early morning, to late at night and even over night. I provide safe, loving, and personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of playtime, walks, and affection, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Another great experience with our favourite cat sitter! We always know our boys are in good hands with Meaghan. She's always on top of sending pictures and updates so we never have to worry!”

“Meaghan is the best! Second time having her care for my pets, she did an over night visit this time. She’s very caring, sweet and respectful- highly recommend her services to others. My animals loved her.”

About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals and have always loved it. I have cared for farm animals as well as house pets. I have a cat myself who is a little demon at times but is also very loving. I am comfortable around large animals as well as young animals. For me this wouldnt just be me offering a service it would also be a experience I would enjoy. I am flexible, but am also only doing this for a few extra dollars . I am not willing to take animals overnight as I have animals at my home, but have no problem going to your home. I would also be comfortable giving updates and pictures of your furry family members if you are gone for long periods of time.
“Was our first time doing this, and was the first time for our puppy. We have previously never hired anyone for our previous dog besides family. Great communication and updates with pics and videos during her stay. She was able to fold up the crate for us when we asked her at the last minute. Had some play dates with other dogs that she knew of nearby! We would definitely recommend Mackenzie!”

About: Hello everyone ! My name is Lyla Waycott. I’ve got on Rover to fill up my spare time spending time with animals and making some extra cash. I work full time at Mountain View Stables in Norton, therefore my schedule is limited primarily to late afternoons and evenings. That being said, I can accommodate early morning (before 7am) walks/drop-ins. If you take a look through my photos you’ll get a glimpse of my herd! I have one horse, three dogs and two cats. That being said, I’m quite comfortable with a variety of different species. Big & small, I love them all! I also have experience administering medication to horses, dogs and cats. Thanks to a fair amount of life experience I’m quite capable and knowledgeable with animals, though always eager to learn more!! I look forward to hearing from you and your furry family members, if you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out!! Talk soon. Take care, Lyla && the herd ❤️ As mentioned above, my availability is primarily late afternoons (after 4pm) and evenings. Though I can make early mornings (before 7am) work as well. I already have a schedule set in place with my animals, so I’m just looking to squeeze in a few extra hours of “work” in with Rover a week!! I will always do my best to make your animals comfortable with my presence and to make our visits as enjoyable and fun for us both as possible. I’m comfortable with and able to crate dogs after my visit if need be, I have experience using shock collars and walking reactive dogs if either things are a concern. I will always respect any safety measures you have in place.

St. John pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ella was the most wonderful sitter for our dog Raffi and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received! Raffi is a young, rambunctious GSP pup who can be a bit of a handful, and this was our first time leaving him behind while we travelled. Ella came to meet him in advance and we could immediately see she would be a great fit! She is calm, caring, responsible and clearly loves dogs! Ella took Raffi on nice long trail walks and kept us updated with messages and photos. Raffi was calm and content when we returned home and our house was perfectly tidy. We highly recommend Ella to anyone else looking for a sitter and we hope to have her come stay with Raffi again soon!
