“10/10 service! Destiny was very helpful and accommodating, I booked a day before with minimal notice and she answered very fast and agreed to watch my fur baby. Pictures and videos were also sent to me throughout my booking which was very nice :) if you’re looking for someone to treat your baby as their own and get 100% security then this is the sitter for you! Thank you again destiny for your help and for providing my fur baby with a fun, loving and easygoing experience!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 13 years and have experience with a variety of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and coworkers, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside, playing with pets, delivering medications, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time and attending college, but I can work pet care around my commitments. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, including overnight stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m reliable about keeping scheduled visits and making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and exercise they need. I take pet care seriously and make sure pets receive the same love, attention, and routine that I give my own. At home, I walk my dogs every day, scoop my cats’ litter boxes twice a day, clean their food and water dishes whenever they get dirty, and regularly brush both my cats and dogs. I also make sure they have plenty of playtime, exercise, fresh water, and attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their normal routines and any specific instructions their owners provide. This can include feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, brushing, and providing lots of companionship. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and staying overnight when needed, and I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thunder Bay
Marcy was great with our shy girl. She gave our Persephone the space and time she needed to get used to her and followed Percy's routine to the letter. Her extensive and detailed daily reports were very reassuring to us nervous pet parents as this is the first time we been away from her for so long. Marcy went above and beyond in acquiescing to my request to take care of my plants a little and everything was exactly as I had left it, if not better. Thank you Marcy for taking excellent care of our fur baby.
Our cat started off growly and hissy, but Madison knew exactly how to handle him by giving the space he needed. By her last visit he completely warmed up to her! She sent updates and photos during every visit. We are grateful for her patience and wonderful care and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Christine did an awesome job taking care of our cats while we were away! She took the most adorable photos of them at every visit, and I could tell they had so much fun playing with her. One of our cats recently became a tripod, and this trip was the first time we were away from her. Christine was reliable, kind, and knowledgeable and it put my mind at ease. We would totally recommend her and would book with her again!
Jodi was absolutely amazing! Super attentive and thorough, great communication and Outlaw was a very happy cat when we got home! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and we were very nervous to be leaving Outlaw for the first time and Jodi absolutely put our minds at ease! The updates were thorough and she always sent pictures which was lovely! Couldn’t recommend Jodi enough! We will absolutely be hiring her again next time we go away!
Brenda pet sat for me for a week while I was away, and she was wonderful. She was very communicative and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave to my cats, and it made my time away so much more relaxing knowing they were in such great hands. Thank you, Brenda!
