“We had Sonja watch our crew of 4 of fur babies. Having someone look after 4 dogs is no small feat and Sonja managed them like she had known them forever. She sent us pictures and regular updates daily putting our mind at ease. We came home to happy relaxed dogs who clearly felt completely comfortable with her. She is 5 PLUS stars and we are so grateful to have found her.”
“Carly was amazing she sent updates on our animals, thank you so much will definitely use her again”
“Raquelle is amazing! Our greyhound was well looked after when we were away. She sent loads of photos to me every day so I could see him. And to top it off, Raquelle cleaned the house (including doing laundry) before she left. I would DEFINITELY recommend Raquelle for dog sitting/house sitting!!!!! 5 stars all around!”
“Second time using Walter and he was just as good as the first time! Very thankful we found a trustworthy person to watch our house and our pups while we’re away. :)”
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? Look no further! Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. The reason why I joined Rover is because I love everything about dogs, and I just want to be around them all the time lol. They’re such a blessing!!!😅🫶🏾 Growing up I’ve always had a pet. From guinea pigs to hamsters, cats and dogs. My love for animals certainly grew into adulthood. Which is why I’m here☺️☺️ Join me as I offer responsible, dedicated, and trustworthy pet sitting services tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Also, poopy bags, and toys are on me! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. One thing about me is that, I’m very easy going and laid back. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to do all that it takes to keep you and your dog happy. I’m available Mondays to Saturday from 7:00am to 8:00pm. I like to keep active, so keeping your dog busy and satisfied won’t be an issue. And most importantly, I promise to bring your dog back happy and tired everytime😊👌🏾. A bag of bouncy balls and some treats should keep’m happy and busy for a while. Not to mention the endless belly rubs and hugs
About: I have experience as a PSW and have assisted in training for service alongside my clients. I also have experience training fosters and adopted family members of all ages into the same homes. At home we have a particularly food driven and curious LabxShepherd. She came to us as a puppy, so I know what it takes to help the young ones become comfortable and loved in their homes as well-mannered and obdient members of the family. I currently work part-time during the school year as a student supervisor. This schedule allows me plenty of time in between the hours that I am at school with the children for walks and play dates, check-ins and short stays. I have a fenced in backyard that would be enormous for a small dog and is an adequate size for a large dog. I have a friendly LabxShepherd who is super playful and will keep your pet busy, and will sometimes have them tired by the end of the day. We have barriers in our home to keep of unsupervised areas. We also have a large crate available for those who require it. If care is needed in your home, I will do my utmost to adhere to all rules, feeding times, appointments and exercise schedules.
About: Caring for my own dog through every stage of life, from playful puppy days to managing recovery after an ACL injury, has taught me just how important personalized care is. I understand that every pet has their own needs and rhythms, and I love helping maintain the training and habits that make them thrive. Whether it’s a spirited walk on the beach or gentle support for senior pets, I’m here to offer love, consistency, and a little extra care for your furry family members. I work part time and have created a life that can accommodate the time needed to care for pets. I have multiple days in the week I have full availability and have a flexible schedule with my hobbies. IMPORTANT: I do work in London, and some Saturdays. If you are looking for services on a day that says I am unavailable and you are comfortable with me leaving you pet during a work shift (6-8 hours) then please message me and we can modify the booking to suit your needs. Pets that stay at our home are walked per their schedule. I have a large flight of stairs that pets will need to be able to climb or be safety carried up. Depending on your pets size, this may require a lifting device which I can provide, if needed. I am no stranger to elaborate meals and/or administering medications. In home service can depend on the situation and you can be sure your pets regular schedule will be followed.
“Michele is warm, friendly and communicative. She has been available to our family last minute and is accommodating of our dog's needs where he cannot be left alone due to severe separation anxiety. She is put together, asked questions and arrives on time (sometimes even early!). She responds well to our English Springer who is very high energy and can be demanding for attention. She is affectionate with him when he asks and also firm with him when he needs it. We are so thankful to have found her to support our growing family in ongoing dog sitting support. I would highly recommend Michele for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I absolutely love animals, and have previously volunteered with the humane society of Oakville. I have been taking care of dogs for my friends for the past 5 years. Recently I got a rescue that was aggressive and reactive towards people. I know how hard finding a loving and caring and patient home can be. Looking to help other dog owners in the area and have our dog make some new doggo friends. I am fairly active and would love to take your dog on walks or follow whatever routine you have in place. My dog Bailey currently gets a minimum of 1 H walk a day in addition to lots of backyard time. I work from home and have a backyard so walks and outside time are easy. Typically I go on 1 to two walks a day with my dog and your doggo is welcome to join. I have a large fenced yard and an active doggo that loves to be chased and is looking to play. I also have experience with behavior challenged dogs.
About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.
About: I’ve spent the last 9 years actively caring for dogs and have grown up with them my entire life. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from energetic puppies to gentle giants. Most of my experience comes from hands-on care with my family's senior dog, who taught me so much about patience, routine, and the extra love older pups need. I have hands-on experience with anxious dogs through caring for my own, and I’m confident in creating a calm, safe space that helps them feel at ease. I’m confident with walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behaviour. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m here to give them the care and attention they deserve. I'm currently unemployed and can devote my full time to caring for and playing with your pets! I'm available any hour of the day and can easily add overnight care to my schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure their environment is calm, clean, and secure — whether I’m in your home or they’re visiting mine. I follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, and medication instructions you provide, and I always take time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs. I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone, and I aim to create a stress-free experience for both of you. You can count on clear communication, updates, and lots of love and attention for your furry family member! 🐾
About: I've never had a time in my life when there was not a pet in my home. From a young age I was taking care of my family pet as well as neighbors when they went away. All of my personal pets have been adopted and have been family to me. Over the last few years, friends and family have repeatedly chosen me to care for their pets especially when they travel becaise I have the flexibility to stay in their homes. I currently have free time most days including evenings and weekends. I am available for daily walks and overnight stays within the St Thomas area. I typically stay in the clients home to minimize the confusion and stress in a pets life that comes when their family goes away. I walk myself everyday, so when requested I am available to take your pet on a walk more than once a day if required.

“Lisa is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup Henry and treated him like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their fur babies!”
About: Walking dogs is truly the highlight of my day! Continuous clients x5 months of daily walks! I have ALOT of experience with dogs with mobility issues that require medications as well as other house modifications. I also have experience in walking reactive and sensitive dogs as well. I truly love all animals and thrive in their presence. I currently work full-time, however my hours are different every week as I am a shift worker! My schedule allows me to have different days of the week off and leaves me available throughout the week and weekends! I have an unfenced private outdoor area with a patio space. I also have a 20 foot long lead that is ideal for the wandering dogs. I have a camera as well that I can use (when boarding in my home) to keep an eye on pup if I have to leave the house. I care for pets by reading their body language. I also think keeping in contact with owners is key for safety as well.
“Jayden watched and walked my dogs for me. He didn't miss a walk and was great with my dogs! Which is important! I would recommend Jayden to anyone! Thank you Jayden for your great work!”
About: I have been looking after my own dogs for about 10 years and love animals. I started to do it just for fun because I love it but now am looking for a little more money in my pocket. I will gladly go to your home to look after your dog or cat and prefer if it is in st. Thomas and close by because I don’t drive. I have my own German shepherd puppy who is 8 months old. I don’t have insurance or animal first aid but I will take really good care of your pet. Please consider me as a pet sitter.
