“This was my first time using boarding services on Rover and it was a great experience. Kristina was wonderful to work with, she seemed to really bond with my dog Gracie at their meet and greet, she gave regular updates and I really trusted her to take care of Gracie in my home. Hoping to book with her again!”

“Holly was so sweet and caring with our two big dogs! She asked plenty of questions to make sure everything was perfect for the dogs. She was amazing dog sitting for Moose and Daisy and kept us up to date. Thank you Holly!”

“Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.”

“Ethan looked after our cat Banji for two weeks and did a great job. He was reliable and responsive, and Banji took to him right away, which made the whole trip easier for us. Highly recommended.”

“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”

“Jamie was amazing! We are always skeptical getting someone new to watch our dogs as one of our dogs can get very anxious around new people but Jamie was able to win her over very quick! He made sure to keep us updated on how things were going while we were away, which was nice being able to see how happy our animals were! Coming home to a sparkling clean house was also something that was way beyond what we expected, but he had made sure everything was ready for our return. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like they are family Jamie goes above and beyond!”

“Sara stayed with our Maggie girl while our family was on vacation and we can’t thank her enough! She kept us updated daily on how she was doing and sent us pictures! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Maggie was in the comfort of her own home and getting lots of attention! Thank you Sara!”

About: What sets me apart is the safe, structured, and loving environment I provide. I have a fully fenced yard, baby gates for extra safety, and experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including Golden Doodles, French Bulldogs, and mixed breeds. I’m comfortable with small and medium dogs, dog walking, house sitting, and hosting dogs in my home for longer stays. I also have reliable transportation and strong communication. Additionally, I’m an educator with open availability starting this summer, and evening and weekend availability for now, making my schedule flexible and dependable for pet parents. I am an educator with evening and weekend availability. I will have open availability for the summer. During the summer I will be able to spend full days with you dog. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and baby gates inside to help manage space, support routines, and keep pets safe. Dogs can relax on the couch, explore the yard, or settle into a quiet space depending on their needs. I keep their routine consistent with yours, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. I take my time getting to know their personality, comfort level, and any specific needs such as medications, senior care, or extra reassurance. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I prioritize safety, communication, and giving them lots of love, attention, and gentle structure so they feel secure and happy.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.

“Laura was amazing!! First time leaving my new puppy so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Laura was fantastic. Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.”

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my Rover page! My name is Victoria and I've had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love all dogs. I currently work from home full time so I'm willing and able to dog sit and board dogs most of the time. I'm usually home every weekend as well. Would love to meet and greet your pets! My job is fully remote so I'm at home working full time. I am able to sit or board your pet into my weekly routine with ease. I always fit in a walk or two during my work day as well. I have a fenced yard, two big parks near my house for walks and a crate if need be. I provide peace of mind by sending pictures daily and making sure that your animals are well taken care of.

About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.

About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

“We needed ozzie to be watched for the day while we were out and Nikhil was happy to help us out! We're so grateful that Nikhil is so accommodating. Thank you Nikhil and family, again!”

“Rachel stayed at our home for a week and took great care of both our cat and our dog as well as our home. I trust her implicitly and highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

About: Are you looking for someone who will provide quality care and love your pet as much as you do? Look no further! I've been born and raised with multiple animals varying in breeds and sizes my entire life! I am a kind, caring, hard working professional that lives independently. I currently have one small dog of my own, he is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. At your request, I am able to provide alternate arrangements for him should your pet need solo care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet to fulfill your needs and my own love for animals! You are guaranteed a genuine, kind, wholehearted animal lover who will provide exceptional care, love, affection, attention, and a comfortable living environment. I currently live in a three-story two bedroom townhouse on my own. While your pet is with me, they will be my number one priority! I'm more than happy to share my bed for cuddles at night, or maintain your routine of sleeping in a dog crate or any other special requests. I am directly across the street from a park, which ensures your pet will receive quality exercise in a beautiful environment that provides flexibility for either independence or socialization along our route. My career as a social worker speaks to my kind, compassionate, attentive nature. Whether your pet needs a lap to sit on, or someone to play fetch with… I am sure you will feel confident leaving your loved one in my hands... they may love it so much they don't want to leave! I work a balance of both in office and from my home. My office is only 15 minutes from my home which allows for easy lunch walks and minimal alone time. I have a small dog as a companion for your fur baby, or if preferred, he can be housed elsewhere. Your pet will be safe and secure in my townhome and only outside on leash. I am a confident dog walker and live in a safe neighbourhood across from a park.

“Ashley went above and beyond watching our two dogs for the week. Our older dog had an unexpected medical issue and Ashley identified an issue quickly and was able to bring our dog to the vet and coordinate giving meds for the rest of her stay. The house was left in better shape than when we left for vacation. Would highly recommend!”
