“Megaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. She’s walked my dog twice, both times taking him for a good length and reporting back afterwards. I was able to book her the day before I needed her & would definitely book her again!”

About: Hey there! Thanks for taking a look at my profile! It's been a few years since I originally started with Rover, and while I've been away, I've become an accredited, professional dog trainer! I do offer positive reinforcement and fear-free training through my business, but decided to come back to Rover to offer basic services as well!

“Holly did an amazing job and our dog loved her!”


About: My wife and I have been fostering dogs and cats from the Humane Society and other rescues for 5 years, in addition to being pet owners ourselves. We have specifically taken on animals with health complications in need of special care, e.g. medication, physiotherapy, pregnancy, etc. As a bonus, my wife is a dog groomer with a salon attached to our home, so if your pet needs some sprucing up, we can help with that, too! Both my wife and I work from home and I am currently on leave from work, so I have lots of extra time to devote to your pet 🙂 We have a large, fenced yard that provides ample space for play. We currently own two cats (Mouse and Graham), two budgies (Nigel and Fergus), and one fish (Oscar). The cats are used to foster pets (about 60 cats and dogs over the past 5 years) coming in and out on a regular basis and the birds are up nice and high.

“Mandy was great with my nervous rescue dog. She also sent a great picture of Jo on her walk. I will definitely go to Mandy again to walk Jo if she’s available. Would recommend her to walk your dog?”


“Donna was great. She was patient and helpful in helping me straighten out some scheduling issues I had. She was good with our pup, showed up on time, took for a nice walk and visited with him. Would recommend”


About: I have always had a passion for all animals. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and love how they show love to you unconditionally. I recently completed my Veterinary Assistant course, and with my knowledge I am able to care for and recognize signs that others may not see. I am comfortable trimming nails and giving medications etc. to your pet if needed. I currently work full time night hours as a Personal Support Worker at Community Living. It is a sleep shift, which makes me free most days and weekends. Between fostering and work, I'd love to fit your pet into my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and a dog and cat of my own. I will treat your pets like my own when they are here.

“Faith was great! My dog was very happy when she came back from her walks.”


About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have a genuine love for them. I understand that they can come from all kinds of life circumstances and need someone to truly care for them and build trust. My family had two dogs growing up, I had two dogs previously and now have Penny, my bernedoodle puppy. I’ve trained her and a bulldog puppy from adoption and have lived with a large (95lb) golden retriever. I’ve taken care of dogs with severe allergies, my own dog with anxiety and puppies of friends and family members - all are welcome here! I currently work from home and around meetings have plenty of time for pet care in my life. I curl in town once a week in the evening but most other time is spent with my own pup also! I live in a three bedroom home where pets are allowed on furniture and have a fenced in yard in addition to time for plenty of walks and play. I have my own dog for them to socialize with if that’s of interest and am comfortable crating dogs based on their needs and training schedules.

About: Hi! Im Jess :) I have had pet dogs all of my life and love being around them! I like to lead an active lifestyle and find having a furry friend makes it that much more fun! I know having to leave your furry friend can be difficult but my hope is to take the stress away and provide you with ease knowing they are okay with me! I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. It’s always nice to start the day with a walk and have a mid day break as well! Whatever timing you’re looking for I can do my best to accommodate! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and run! I do have a 2.5 year old Dalmatian mix who loves playing with friends any chance he gets. As mentioned, I work from home which allows me to be present when boarding.

About: I look forward to caring for your cherished dog!! He or she will always be the only canine in our home. So, your dog will get all of my attention. I grew up on a farm with pets of all kinds (horses, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits). I’ve been a pet parent to a perfect beagle all her life. Currently I own a little budgie with a big attitude! lol. I continue to look after my family grand-puppies and friends’ canines while they are away. I accept only one dog at a time. I would love to hear from you. I’ve recently retired and now do volunteer work in the community. I have ample flexibility on weekdays and also weekends for pet care. Aside from every other Tuesday and Wednesday mornings I am usually available! I have a large fully fenced yard and live near a public office-leash dog park (if you allow off-leash time) and also live near beautiful on-leash walking trails. My only current pet is a small parrot named Tweety but she will be caged during your pet’s stay (or she can be in another room if needed).
