“This was my first time using Rover and finding a dog sitter that was great fit for my dog. I found Courtney and Ryan were engaged with my dog and also when I pointed out his needs, Courtney took notes and there was a great exchange on information. On the day when my dog was visited by Ryan/ Courtney, I was sent pictures of my dog and I immediately knew Courtney and Ryan were an excellent fit for my dog. They were also very familiar with the breed of my dog. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have owned animals since I was a kid. I just recently had my dog pass away and I am very keen on looking after your fur baby like they were my own! My passion is to work with animals. I currently live in an apartment so I’m looking for dog walks or dog sits but once I have a house I will be open to boarding!! As long as your dog gets along with other animals I will be able to allow them in my home ☺️ I do live in an apartment but constantly go outside as I have a dog of my own. I also go on trail walks around the area and can take them to the dog park if allowed.
About: Hi there, My name is Alexis, and I am an Elementary School Teacher, looking for a side gig to make some extra money working with animals! For my entire life, I have had personal experience caring for and walking dogs as I have always had at least one or two of my own at home. I have had 10 years of experience dog walking, and pet sitting here and there for friends, family and neighbours. I currently have a border collie x Labrador retriever mix, and I have had many others dogs including smaller dogs in the past. I love dogs of any breed and size and am able to work with more than one at a time for those with more than one dog in the family. I have had experience training my own dogs throughout my life for puppy age, as well as have worked with senior dogs as well. I love dogs and pets of any kind, and hopefully, look forward to meeting your furry friends. Connect with me if you are interested or have any questions, text, call or email me. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am currently working full time as a teacher from 9-3:30 Monday - Friday. So I am available in the early morning or early and later evening. I am also available on the weekends and holidays. For dog boarding, I can take dogs for longer stays, they would sometimes just have longer days at home without a human. 8 hours max. I have a fenced in yard and a lovey border collie at home to keep your furry friend company. I can offer crating, treats and adventures when your dog stays with me. Your dog would get walks depending on their physical needs and a solid routine with consistent feeding times and exercise.

The property has a big fenced in yard where your fur baby is safe and can freely roam.

About: Hello, My name is Rachel. I'm an Registerd nurse and graduate student. I work mostly in nursing education, health advocacy and Indigenous health. I am the owner of a golden doodle named Luffy. You may recognize him and myself as being a part of the Dog Friendly KW content creation team. When I initially got Luffy he was such a handful and we went through alot of hard work together to be able to go on so many dog friendly adventures. I utilize balanced training methods and have experience with slip leads, prongs and the e-collar. I know for myself how difficult it can be to find places for our pups to stay where the structure we implement with our pups is being followed and I decided to offer my services to support the dog community. I am not a dog trainer but I will ensure your pup has a great time while maintaining the structure they are used to. I work full time from home and I'm pretty flexible with my work. I try to structure my day in order to ensure I am able to provide the best possible pet care. I make sure to read how the pet is doing and the care plan that is provided to me and gage my actions based on that. I would follow the instructions of the pet owner to best care for their dog .
About: I’ve been working with animals for as long as I can remember. I have two years of professional animal care experience, along with a lifetime of personal experience with a wide variety of animals — including guinea pigs, fish, horses, goats, cats, chickens, and more! I’m also experienced in caring for animals with special needs and administering medications. Patience, understanding, and compassion are at the heart of how I approach every animal — I always strive to meet your pet exactly where they’re at. I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to focus on your pet's needs! They will be the main part of my routine. Safety will be my biggest priority when working with your pet. I will make sure they are supervised at all times outside. They will always be leashed during walks and, I will make sure the equipment you've requested to be used is secure and put on correctly.
“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins.

Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète.

I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - St. Thomas
Courtney ( and some help from Ryan too!) were wonderful carers for my two boys while I was away on a 4 day trip. Starting with excellent communication and explaining about the Rover service ( as this was my first experience) I felt comfortable entrusting my cats to their visits and care. I received great visit reports and photos each day. That was such a reassurance, that I was actually able to enjoy my needed getaway without worry or doubts. I will gladly call on Courtney and Ryan for future catsits!
I was grateful to have Raquelle come to my home to provide care for my two cats while I took a five day trip away. She was wonderful- attentive, thorough, and genuinely caring that my guys had their needs met ( food, fresh water, treats and litter scooped) and beyond! I appreciated the time she took to take and send photos of my boys ( even though they would often hide) and to provide feedback on each visit. Raquelle even emptied and reset the Litter Genie for me once it became full... and I noticed she had taken my older cat's laser toy out and tried to entice him to come out and play- very nice effort for my shy little man. I was able to get away & relax for a few days, which was absolutely great. I will definitely reach out to Raquelle for my future cat-sitting needs even if I just need to work some overtime and not a trip away. It is so great finding someone trustworthy, caring and competent!
After losing our older dog earlier this year, our younger dog had been fairly depressed, so we'd avoided going away to ensure he was ok. A death in the family meant we would have to travel for a day, and Laura made all of us (including Rufus) feel at ease. Our meet & greet was full of playful excitement (from Rufus) and professional "get to know you and the animals" engagement from Laura. On the day, we left some extra instructions for Laura, and felt very comfortable about Rufus being taken care of by a compassionate and capable animal lover like us. The photos we got were hilarious and reassuring that Rufus had been in excellent hands. Would absolutely recommend Laura, and will be booking with her again in the future.
Carley is amazing! She is very reliable and always responsive in a timely manner. She sends multiple pictures of both of our dogs, provides bathroom/drink/snack updates, follows directions given (i.e. separating the dogs to their places when leaving, etc.) and lets us know what activities her and the dogs get up to while she's at our place. I will absolutely continue to reach out to her for check ins with our boys, as she has proven herself to be a great choice for us. Thank you Carley :)

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
