“AMAZING!! 2/3 of my cats are very shy and Ana was able to bring them out of their shell and play with them and get some cuddles! Her short visits helped me feel so much better about leaving my kitties for the week while I was in another province. My cats looked sooo happy in all the photos while they were eating and also getting that playtime in! So so so happy with her service. Will definitely rebook in the future if she will have me!!”
“Melinda was fantastic with both my cats. Milo got all the playtime and attention he loves, and she was wonderfully patient with Russell until he warmed up. I came home to two happy, relaxed boys. The photo updates were thoughtful and reassuring and it was obvious Melinda took the time to get to know each cat's personality. Highly recommend, especially if you have a mix of confident and cautious cats. Will definitely book again. Thanks for looking after Milo and Russell, Melinda! ❤️”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Jasmine is absolutely amazing. We had a cross Canada family trip planned and our elderly cat got sick right before we were leaving. Had other family not flown across the country for this trip, we would have cancelled. I was so worried about leaving but Jasmine stepped in and was able to not only give the medication but was so good, our cats warmed up to her which has never happened. She kept in touch and sent updates the entire time. We came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean house. She deserves 10 stars. Jasmine is a literal life saver.”
“Josselyn has been an amazing pet sitter for my mini dachshund Rain, doing check ins 3-4 times a week for the last month. She's very kind and considerate when in your home, and especially when taking care of your pet! Her notes are super detailed, and you can tell she takes great enjoyment out of spending time with animals! Would strongly reccomend her :) Thanks Josselyn!”
“Samantha is an excellent sitter, she had connection with my cat at the first sight, she came 15 days in a raw, she also helped me watering my plants and gave the medicine required to my cat, when I came back home the water fountain, feeder and litter were well organized, I totally recommend Samantha, I couldn't have left my cat in better hands.”

“Cindy is a super friendly and dedicated pet sitter! It was my first time having a pet sitter for my cat as I haven't left her alone for this long of a duration. Despite my cat being stressed and aggressive towards the later visits, Cindy did her best to make sure my cat's supplies and litter were taken care of. She was very professional and very detailed with her pet reports. I could not recommend her more!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tamarack
Jasmine was great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to me leaving town and show her the routine. Met all my expectations as requested and the cats seemed to love her, even Delilah let her pet her which isn’t an easy task for most people as she’s quite shy and skittish around new comers. I appreciate her punctuality as well. If ever in the future I need this type of service, Jasmine will be first choice. Highly recommend.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
