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.
“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.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for animals. My dog of 17 years recently passed away, and I miss having that daily companionship. I’ve had pets my whole life—over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets—and I have a big heart for all animals. I work from home and love getting outside for walks or park visits, so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I know how special our furry friends are, and I’d treat yours like one of my own. I work full-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule for pet care. I love getting outside for walks during lunch and in the evenings—walking your dog would bring me just as much joy as it brings them! I love stopping by clients’ homes to give their pets a chance for a pee break and some company. Being greeted with a wagging tail always makes my day! I’m happy to top up food and water, play in the backyard, and make sure everything’s clean and comfortable before I go.
“Sarah was so great to our two cats! She went above and beyond, was so great at communicating before hand. We felt so assured knowing she was taking care of things, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks again Sarah :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have my own! His name is Frank and he is a retriever and lab mixed! I love walking and being with animals! I think of pets as family! I am fully comfortable with all breeds and ages! I also volunteer at the shelter and walk dogs! I'm currently available for weekend walks or drop in visits! As for weekdays, I’m only available after 5pm :) I am willing to modify my hours if needed! I care for my dog like a baby truthfully! He gets spoiled with multiple walks and has a beautiful backyard to play in! I always make sure he is comfortable and if anything.. I would be a helicopter dog mom! I want to keep all animals safe and healthy!
“Jonathan was quick to reply when we were in a pinch and needed last minute care. He was highly responsive, gave a nicely detailed note of his visit and our pup was clearly comfortable with him. Thanks so much, Jonathan!”

“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!”

“Excellent service above and beyond! Marissa accepted my last minute service, she was super quick to respond and very friendly. She was very caring and dealth with my cats mess (didn't have to) 10/10 recommended.”

“Holly to the rescue! I found myself in hospital. I can bring my service dog with me however I am unable to walk and/or get her food and meds ready. Not that friends are unreliable but lead busy lives. I arranged Holly to have 3 visits during the day to offer Patty relief. I knew she was coming. She is prompt and attentive. She was able to navigate my service dog in a social/public setting anticipating the problems she may face. I can focus on my healing and the worry of meeting Patty's needs are under control with Holly to help. Without her, I would be organizing various people who may back out last minute with their own priorities. Holly has a cheerful demeanor and her work ethic is admirable.”

“I highly recommend Sam. She was absolutely fantastic dropping in to take care of my 4 cats, including administering the one cat's daily inhaler for asthma. Sam was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and thorough in letting me know how everyone was doing. Sam made my babies and myself very comfortable and confident in being very well taken care of. I look forward to having Sam back in future!”

“We hired Lauren to watch our 3 dogs (Ages 15yrs, 9yrs & 4yrs) on our wedding day. Lauren's Veterinary Technician background made her stand out to us in our search for a sitter. At our meet and greet all 3 of our dogs instantly fell in love with her which made us feel at ease. Lauren kept us updated throughout the afternoon and evening with how everyone was doing and even sent us some cute candid photos of them! She even got our picker eater to lick his bowl clean! We were able to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about our pups thanks to Lauren! We would 100% recommend Lauren to anyone looking for 5 star pet sitting service and will be rebooking with her in the future!! We are SO glad to have found her!! Thanks Lauren!!”

“We asked Shannon again to look after our two cats while we were out for a few days and as always she does a spectacular job with them! One of our cats is shy and the other is outgoing and she makes sure they both get love and of course all the necessities taken care of as well. We always trust Shannon because we know when we are away she takes good care of our cats.”

“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.”

“My husband and I went away for two weeks, and we rebooked with Becca because she always goes above and beyond! She checked in on our two cats daily, and made sure they got plenty of love, food and play time! She also cleaned and filled the water bowls and the litter box daily which was great! We know that with Becca our cats will always be well taken care of while we are away, and we will definitely be booking with her again for future trips☺️”

“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”

About: Hi! I’m a psychologist with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral needs — and I bring that same empathy and awareness into the care of every dog I host. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I truly connect with them. I pay close attention to their personality, energy levels, routines, and emotional signals, so they feel safe, calm, and understood while away from home. My approach combines affection, and gentle care. Whether your dog is sensitive, anxious, energetic, or simply loves company, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is: for your dog to feel loved, relaxed, and emotionally secure while in my care. We work remotely, so your dog will rarely be alone. If we need to run errands, absences are short and never longer than three hours We live in a calm, pet-free home with no children, which allows us to give your dog our full attention and care. We only host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care and a peaceful environment. Our neighborhood has plenty of green spaces perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Safety and hygiene are always a priority. Our home is kept clean, secure, and dog-friendly, and I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your dog may have. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
Thorold pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a hard time finding someone who would take the time to work with our dog. Fynn is anxious and needs someone with patience to get to know him. Jenny has been the perfect choice. She is not just “ good with dogs “ she is knowledgeable, has experience, patient, and truly good with Fynn. We have her do drop in visits and a walk. She reassures us that fynn is taken care of every time she visits. We can not recommend her enough.
