About: Hi! I recently graduated from Northern College in Haileybury with a Veterinary Technician Diploma and completed an additional year in Wildlife Care, giving me experience with dogs, cats, exotic pets, and wildlife. What sets me apart is my professional training in animal health, behavior, medication administration, and recognizing signs of illness or stress. Whether your pet needs routine care, special accommodations, or care for an exotic species, I can provide knowledgeable and compassionate support. I treat every pet like family and am committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I currently work part-time and have flexibility on specific days. I am generally available during the week at any time of day and can be flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I prefer weekday bookings, as this allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am typically unavailable for weekend boarding; however, I may be able to accommodate it if absolutely necessary and arranged in advance. There are no pets in my house, so there will be no distractions or worries about animal interactions. My backyard is not fenced in; however, I have a lead attached to the house for safe potty breaks as well as a medium/large dog crate if trained. In a client’s home or my own, I aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine and following the owners' instructions closely, including feedings, medications, harnesses, and walking.
About: I’ve always had a pet. - fish, rabbits, birds, gerbils, dogs and cats. My husband and I are retired (me a cop and him a dairy farmer) and we live on beautiful spring fed Fairy Lake, Hudson Township. We have MILES of trails to walk and run dogs! This past year both our children have added puppies to their households and we’ve helped train Sadie - Golden Lab, Jack - Havanese, Tucker - Havaco and Charlie - Corgi/Australian Shepherd. We’ve also been sitting our neighbours Blue Merle Australian Shepherd. If you get the idea there are puppies in our life you would be very correct! If you want experience, someone strong enough to handle a large dog but gentle enough to care for a little one, look no further. FYI - we will need to do a Meet and Greet BEFORE caring for you fur family member. It’s imperative that we all ‘know’ each other and will get along - we ensure our ‘guests’ are suited for each other. To explain, if we have large active dogs then we can’t have a small, frail, limited activity puppy and vice versa. - this is our home, not a commercial boarding facility so our numbers have to be respectful of the size of our home - puppies need to be vaccinated. We realize some may not have completed the process due to age but it should be accomplished at the earliest possibility - we will be walking your puppy in a wilderness area. We make every effort to ensure there are no unfortunate interactions but it can happen (we have had puppies meet porcupines). If a vet visit is required as a result of an interaction we will take your pet to a vet the cost of which will be your responsibility. - we prefer to allow your pet to explore and experience the freedom of being off lead. If your pet does not have good recall we will use a lead until they learn the skill. And finally, we House and Pet Sit worldwide so will be travelling a bit in the winter months. We are retirees so your pet is my day. That’s the focus. Walks, chase, fetch…that’s the day. If your puppy is tired then and only then do we do something not pet focused. I live on a lake in the bush. I believe in plenty of exercise and fresh air which means your pet will be outside, in nature, most of the day. Unless they are a flight risk, they will be roaming freely. We also go for a long walk every day - 5 to 10km roaming freely, running and exploring in the bush (only if they are a flight risk will they be on lead). Your puppy will have the best time! It’s kind of like kid camp but for puppies! Because they will be free, they will get dirty and they may encounter nature. We have had puppies meet porcupines. If that happens we will take any necessary action but any vet bills will be the pet owners responsibility. It has only happened once that we had to take a puppy to the vet but it is a possibility when they have the freedom to run and explore.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Temiskaming Shores. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Temiskaming Shores.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Temiskaming Shores with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Temiskaming Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
