House Sitting Stayner

About: I have been around dogs from a young age being responsible for taking complete care of them for my family as well as responsible for caring for neighbours furry friends. I am a full time remote student completing my masters, and so taking care of people’s furry friends is a great change of pace for me to get exercise and take an animal friend with me at the same time. I am happy to accommodate for different dog needs as each dog requires special and individual care. Whether this be sensitive paws to food allergies and anything in between, I am happy to accommodate for each dogs needs

“Brianna was amazing with our dog while we were away. Thank you!”

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals, especially dogs and cats. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing a pup! This is why I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to personalities, ages, quirks, and comfort levels so your fur babies get the best care possible for their needs. A happy pet is my goal! I am currently an online university student, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work on my studies from home while looking after furry friends! I care for all of my client’s pets as if they were my own. Both my client’s and their pets’ comfort and safety is my number one priority. I make sure to understand each individual pet’s personality, needs and preferences.

“Jessica stayed in our home with our two cats for the week and was great at keeping us in the loop with photos and updates as we had asked. We felt totally at ease knowing she was there and were able to enjoy our vacation!”

“Kari is wonderful! She took perfect care of our cat Sassy and the property. She is very down to earth, trustworthy, considerate, present and a great communicator. The house was cleaner than how we left it! Would love to have her again.”

About: Animals are my passion, through and through. I have been taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I have experience with caring for a wide range of animals, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, as well as a variety of farm animals (chickens, horses, and donkeys). I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personality types, from huge to tiny, chill to reactive. I modify my care based on individual needs. All animals are always treated with love, respect, and compassion when under my care. I am experienced with administering various medications, as well as with some first aid. I provide basic training while on walks, and will report back any behavioural issues/changes noted during their time with me. I know it’s a big decision to trust someone with the care of your pet, and I always strive to ensure my clients are at ease knowing their fur baby is in great hands with me. Weekday and weekend walks and drop in visits available within a close driving radius (anything above 20km is subject to an additional travel fee). I am available from 6am-9pm. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own, they deserve nothing but love and attention! I follow the instructions for their care and always ask if I need clarification on any of the supplied information. I provided detailed reports, and note any changes to their behaviour or otherwise while in my care in the report card for each visit. I also upload several photos so you see what your pets got up to during our time together. Please know that the trust given to access a clients home is huge and is something I take it very seriously. Please be assured that the same care given to your fur babies is given to your home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies to calm senior companions. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and providing comfort for pets who get anxious when their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, patient approach. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. I also understand canine body language and stress signals, so I can spot when a pet needs space, comfort, or playtime. Whether it’s giving medication, keeping up with training, or just offering companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own with kindness, consistency, and care. After my morning shift at work, my days are wide open — which means I have lots of time to spend with pets. I usually head out for walks, play sessions, or check-ins in the afternoon and evening. Since my schedule’s super flexible, I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just hanging out for company, I love filling my day with furry friends who make it more fun. When I’m house or pet sitting, I treat your home and pets with the same care I’d want for my own. I make sure your pets stick to their normal routine — same feeding times, walks, and play — so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. I take time to build trust and always move at their pace, especially with pets who are shy or need a little extra patience. I’m careful with doors, gates, and anything that could affect their safety, and I always leave your home tidy and just how you left it. I can also handle small things like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping everything neat so it looks lived in. I like sending updates and photos too, so you know everything (and everyone!) is doing great.

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

“Amanda was fantastic. Griffin loved her. He was clm and happy when we got home. And very well looked after. We will have her stay with Griffin again”

About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.

“Ashley was great. This was the first time we had someone stay at the house and watch Charlee and it was definitely a game changer. I was instantly comfortable with Ashley. She had great communication with me throughout our time away, our house is clean and my puppers is healthy and happy. 10/10 recommend!!!”

“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and made our first experience with Rover such a positive one. We hope to use her services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

“Natalie took great care of my cat and dogs! She was very communicative and sent pics all weekend long which really made me feel confident they were with someone reliable and caring. I'll be booking her again next time I need care for them 👍.”

About: I had a giant schnauzer. For over 2.5 years he required hourly attention and care for many health issues. My experience has provided me with the knowledge and patience to care for pets of all size and with any mobility limitations. My home is set up with many beds, a large crate, and a fully fenced in backyard to care for your pet, 24/7 I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule where I mostly work from home. I am able to attend to your pets needs all day and night. I treat pets like family! I respect the rules and boundaries set by each pet owner and work hard to ensure that discipline, play time, and routines are not altered!

“Brooke is an amazing pet sitter. She went above and beyond watching our anxious dog & easy going cat while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and updates daily, and she was warm and knowledgeable. Anytime we leave our dog with friends and family we come back to a very wound up & stressed pup…staying at home with Brooke who was reassuring and relaxed was a real game changer for our dog Bernie. I will 100% be using her again for pet sitting in the future! Thanks so much Brooke 😊”

“This was our dog's first overnight stay with a new sitter, and Michelle did an amazing job! She was caring, attentive, and made both us and our pup feel completely comfortable. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her!”

About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will NEED to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

“Natasha took care of my home and two pups for three days. She took the time to build a relationships with them and now I think they miss her more than they did me. She kept up their routines, including medication, and sent updates while we were away. Remi can’t wait for her next visit.”
