About: Hello! My name is Nathalie and I am an animal lover looking to care for the pets of others! I have 5 years of veterinary and animal experience working in animal hospitals, cat shelters, dog daycares, and even barn experience with horses and sheep. I have great experience in handling approaches for both dogs and cats, administration of medications (including injections), dog walking, nail trims, pet caretaking and customer service. I have two cats of my own and hoping to get a dog in the near future as well! My goal is to continue helping others and establishing great relationships with both humans and their furry loved ones. I’m currently looking to do pet care full time Monday-Friday so I am fully available and flexible throughout each week day. I am available 9am until 9pm and open to overnights/different timing if needed. I provide all pet care at the comfort of your home and can provide dog walking services for as long as you’d like - whether its 30 minutes or 1 hour, I am happy to discuss your pets needs.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.

“This was our first time leaving our Benji alone for a week. We were feeling very unsure and anxious as to how to go about this. Our daughter was getting married in Mexico and everyone we knew would attend. A friend mentioned Rover and we investigated. But who to trust? After a few attempts, we noticed Jade with all her great reviews. It was the right decision! Jade was prompt, courteous, lovely with huge smiles. Most importantly, Benji warmed right up to her! We knew it then. Our worries faded quickly. Every day, twice, we were texted the time of walking, the map of the route, his activity and pictures. It made our week! Jade was so consistent and thorough, we vowed to give her a big SHOUT OUT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the assurance was greatly appreciated! :)”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. 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!

About: Follow me on Instagram where you will see many animals I have cared for. Look up Niagara Pet Sitter My name is Monica. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and I love animals. I used to do nursing, but have since left the field and I am now studying as a distance student at Queen's University. I consider myself very responsible, affordable, and friendly. I have a lot of experience with animals. My mother is a dog trainer. My sister is a veterinary technician. In my life, I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, budgies, cockatiels, an Amazon parrot, canaries, conures, cats, and dogs. I work with all small animals, birds, fish, cats, and small to large dogs. I am offering daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, walking services, pet taxi services, and pet photography/ prints. My services involve one-on-one care, which gives your pet my full loving attention. I won't host multiple families. I will only keep a maximum of 2 dogs or 2 cats per family. Your dogs and cats can be safer and get more attention this way from myself and my children. This one-on-one experience allows your pet to have the most fun, feel the happiest, and be the safest. I also have a Pet First Aid Certification from St.John Ambulance. I will let you know even if your dog even has hiccups and send you many pictures of your pet throughout the day. Pet First Aide Kit on-site. Please contact me if interested and with any questions I am available through the week at any time. I was a former Nurse. I am trained as a RN but since have left the field and I am now a stay at home mom. I also am an online student who studies from home. There is a fence in my backyard. I also have a crate if needed and allowed with a comfortable bed. I have a dog gate in the living room when playing. Extra cleaning and damages will have an extra charge (ex. Diarreah, damage to property)

“Excellent! Sarah helped with our dog, Nimbus, on a last minute weekend. She made a trip to visit and meet him and took good care of him on each visit between walks and making sure he had water and food. Even if he can be a slow / putzy walker some days! Very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely ask her again.”

About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!

About: Hi, I'm Kirsten, but you can call me Kirty as all my friends do! I've been looking after animals for other people in my life for as long as I can remember. This is where my passion lies and I want to spend as much time with animals as I can. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Next up on my list of things to learn is animal CPR! I will update once I'm certified. I work a part-time job with fairly flexible hours, and have had to balance both working and pet care many times over the last 5 years. My main priority is to do whatever is best for the pets, so I always find a way to fit them into my schedule. I'm very easy-going so we can always find something that works, together! I've spent many days and nights having slumber parties with pets at the owners houses. Whatever the pet needs, I'm there! I've had to follow special diets, provide medications, and even dealt with night terrors. I love to care for every animal as if they're my own!
