Highly recommend 🌟 Courtney is a blessing to our fur babies (and for my husband and I). She’s punctual, consistent, always communicates, and goes the extra mile. I’m new to this app, and anyone else watching our 3 babies. Courtney brings a sense of calmness for us while we are at work, knowing our 3 wild babies are being looked after and cared for. Having someone we trust in our home and back yard, watching over them while they have their bathroom release, drinks, play time, pets, etc. has been wonderful for everyone. They enjoy her visits and welcome her with excitement each time. Courtney has been very flexible with bookings and committed to ensuring the safety and happiness of everyone is maintained. We are very happy with everything she offers and will continue to book with her and Ryan in the future. Otis, Nixon, and Duncan look forward to more visits! 🐾

About: Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I love dogs. But on Rover, loving dogs should be a given, not the whole qualification. To truly love a dog is to understand them. That’s why I’ve spent the last five years deeply researching canine health and behaviour, from force-free positive reinforcement and reading body language to recognizing the early signs of bloat (GDV) and understanding the dangers of heat stroke and paw burns. I specialize in providing tailored, focused, and intelligent care. I only walk up to two dogs at a time, and only if they are from the same household. I don't do multi-family group walks because your dog deserves my 100% undivided attention. Whether I'm managing a reactive pup by reading a sidewalk before it goes sideways, or letting a senior dog enjoy a slow, mentally enriching "sniffy walk," your goofball is in good hands. My current availability is kept strictly up-to-date in my Rover calendar, offering flexible options for mid-day dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I structure my daily routine to ensure I am never rushing between clients, I am able to offer reliable, punctual care that fits seamlessly into your dog's normal schedule. If you have a specific time slot you don't see listed, feel free to reach out and ask! Safety isn't a formality, it's the priority. Every single new client gets a free, mandatory Meet & Greet before we book a single service. No exceptions. This isn’t a formality; it’s a vital safety step where I learn your dog’s specific quirks, triggers, and medical history so I can do right by them. When caring for your dog in your home or neighbourhood, I treat their safety as a science. I understand how to proactively reduce the risks of bloat, I am hyper-aware of weather-related distress like heat stroke, and I use only positive, force-free handling methods. I am exactly the kind of dog walker I used to search for but could never find: someone who lets a dog be their silly self, while taking their safety with absolute seriousness. Please note that for safety and wellness reasons, I do not walk dogs on prong, choke, or shock collars. If this is your dog’s current equipment, please still reach out! I understand large, strong, and reactive breeds intimately, I have two of my own. It took time and patience, but we successfully transitioned to harnesses. If you are open to it, I am more than happy to discuss safe, effective, force-free alternatives that will keep your dog happy and secure on our walks.

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.

About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.

About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.

About: Hi, i’m Rayne and am looking to start dog walking again I am excited to meet some new furry faces! i’ve been a lover of all animals since before I can even remember! I have a huge passion for working with all kinds of animals. Up to now I have taken care of every kind of breed of dog I can think of. I myself have cane corsos of my own, as well as the best cat i could have asked for. I love being around animals of all kinds! I have open availability and am able to watch/walk your animals at anytime, with great and negotiable rates. If you have any questions or concern please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for taking some time to get to know me :) I currently am unemployed at the moment so I am able to walk or watch your dog whenever is needed, I have a very open availability! I like to take the dogs for long walks or like to go to fields nearby so they can run off leash for a little bit and go wild (if owners permit me doing so), or also throw balls and other canine friendly toys. For pet sitting cats, i’ve never met a cat that didn’t make me their new best friend sooner or later. Feeding and additional care is never an issue but of course feel free for any specific requests on feeding and caring for your pets!

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.

Michele did a great job watching our dog! Shes very responsible and had 2 meet ups before making a decision that her and Tex was a fit. While we were gone, she stayed in contact and sent pictures and updated. Tex adores her and he is comfortable when she's in our home. Michele makes sure everything is cleaned up and is resourceful when shes not familiar with where items are. Michele is very trustworthy & caring, we highly recommend. We can tell that Tex has been well cared for and has been thoroughly spoilt by you. Thank you Michele

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, always taking responsibility for their care and needs. My cat, Jiggyman (I know weird) is 16 years old and has been the best cat I could ask for. I love my pets and I miss being around animals, I am happiest when I see a pet! I am currently working virtually, so I am available all day for pet boarding. I can also take breaks from work to walk pets, and I am free after 4pm most days to walk dogs. My schedule does not change and I am free on weekends. I am home all day to care for and hangout with your pet. I love talking to them and taking them for walks, making sure they are very happy. I am also happiest around animals and I can't wait to get one of my own! For now, I think caring for other pets is exactly what I need.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That role taught me the importance of routine, safety, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and happy. By profession, I’m currently a teacher, which means patience, responsibility, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of what I do every day. I’m used to being trusted with what matters most to people, and I bring that same level of care and accountability to looking after pets. Until recently, I was the proud owner of a Siberian Husky who lived an incredible life right up to the age of 13. Caring for him through all stages of life — from high-energy younger years to senior care — gave me deep experience with exercise needs, mental stimulation, grooming, and adapting routines as pets age. He was truly family, and his long, happy life means the world to me. I work as a teacher therefore have a set schedule, get home at a reasonable time, and can easily predict when I am available for your pets! I live in a house, drive, and am flexible with how I can support your pets while you are away. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

Raquelle was amazing with my two girls! It's the first time I've gone away that my dogs have been relaxed and not stressed when I came home. Raquelle put my mind at ease with her reports and pictures so I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about my pups and it was clear they loved their time with her! I would highly recommend Raquelle for all your pup sitting needs!
