“Thank you for a great first visit with our puppy! We loved seeing the pictures you sent of your drop-in visit, as well as the written report you sent. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby… we are so grateful for you for your care!”
“I have been in the hospital with my service dog. Holly has been able to make time in her schedule to drop by throughout the day to walk my service dog and give a potty break. She also reminds me if I have given her food and meds. She makes detailed notes on changes in behaviour. My dog developed runny poops. Since Holly was on the ball and reported it to me, I was able to get medication before the long weekend. All is well.”
“Kari was great, felt very comfortable having her watch my 4 cats for the weekend and giving the one his inhaler for asthma. She left great updates and photos of my babies, and was great for checking in. She was great at communicating and I knew my babies were in caring, responsible hands while I was away. Look forward to having her back in future.”
“Samantha was an outstanding kitty sitter during a three week trip. She was consistent and always went above and beyond for our fur babies. Our cats absolutely adored her and every day Samantha sent updates and photos. Samantha didn't just take care of their basic needs, she made them feel loved during our absence. Samantha is our first choice as a kitty sitter for future trips!”
“Emily took great care of our cat and rabbit while we were away. She did some other tasks at the house which is greatly appreciated. Emily is reliable and a pleasure to work with! Thank you!”
“My dog was immediately at ease and comfortable with Jackie and my cats liked her a lot as well. She listened to all my instructions. I will certainly book with her again.”
“Jenny was great during her first visit with our new puppy! I was able to meet her in advance to make sure she was a good fit for us. She provided lots of updates and photos of Lumen throughout her stay. Looking forward to having her come back to care for our girl!”
“Charlene was wonderful. Our family took a two week vacation and Charlene took the time to ensure our cat, Eli, was happy, fed, and comfortable. The pictures each day were also a nice touch! Thank you, Charlene!”
About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality! I’m comfortable with everyday care including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand they may need extra patience, gentler activity, and care. I’m experienced with giving oral medications when needed and am comfortable following specific care instructions. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a cozy day on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday to Friday, so my availability for dog walking and drop-in visits is primarily in the evenings (6PM onwards) and on weekends I have fully open availability. I’m happy to discuss my availability to make sure each pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy! I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special needs. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also giving pets space when they need it. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour or routine and will keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Jade was amazing! We booked her in last minute and she was great! She made the time to come meet our cats before her visits and was super responsive throughout the week. Would highly recommend if you need someone local.”
“Andrea has watched our kitties twice and did such an amazing job. She even saved us in a pinch when our travel had to be extended by a day. We are very thankful!”
“Jonathan was very easy to communicate and work with for this boarding . Very flexible ,helped Murphy enjoy his walks whilst we were away. Follows a very step wise approach which is very convenient and pleasing to deal with .”

I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover.

I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available.

I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

Flexible Pet Care Schedule Aligned with Your Pet's Needs As a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home Monday to Friday and occasionally take on part-time shifts during evenings and weekends. This means your pet will almost always have someone home with them, ensuring consistent companionship and supervision. I'm available seven days a week and happy to accommodate your specific scheduling needs.

If your pet is crate-trained or feels more comfortable in a crate when left briefly alone, I’ll ensure they’re settled safely and securely. I build regular walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks into my day to keep your pet active, stimulated, and cared for.

Ensuring their safety and well-being, I follow any specific instructions you provide diligently. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time, your pet will receive the same affection and care they would get in my own home.

They'll have the perfect haven to play, lounge, and enjoy a stimulating environment. My priority is to create a nurturing and secure atmosphere, ensuring that your pets feel right at home, whether they are in my care or yours.
“Kristen was easy to communicate with and gave very thorough reports for her visits with lots of pictures, my timid cat warmed to her well. We are so appreciative of the service we received.”
About: I've had pets my whole life but it wasn't until I adopted a dog of my own that I truly learned what it means to care for one. I now have experience with reactive and fearful dogs, counter conditioning, desensitization, and canine enrichment. I just received notice of an indefinite layoff so I will have all the time in the world to do something I genuinely enjoy. I feed both my dog and foster dog using enrichment tools(snuffle, puzzle, Kong, find it) trim their nails with a Dremel weekly, give them meds daily. They're always so excited for their daily walks, rain or shine. Though our foster boy needs to be bundled up to handle the cold. I believe following a routine is important. Pets will be fed when they're used to, given meds as prescribed by your vet. Light grooming if requested (I may charge for more challenging grooms. Details can be discussed). If your dog is afraid of nail trims, brushing or anything else, we can work together on cooperative care to make necessary care less stressful for them.
“We asked Shannon again to look after our kittens again while we are away for the holidays. Shannon is always great and it is just so comforting to know our cats are safe and cared for while we are away. Thank you Shannon and we will definitely ask for your help again in the future!”

Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
