“We booked Marcy again for the third time. As always, I was able to go away and not worry at all about Morty and just have a good time. She provided updates and photos and I so appreciate the little extras that she does like sweeping up and washing all his bowls.”
“My wife and I were very happy with Jodi. We were out of town for a week and she took care of our 2 cats. She was on time for their breakfast and dinner feedings. She cleaned the litterboxes as directed and washed the cat dishes. She spent quality time with the cats and provided us with detailed updates and pictures. Highly recommend.”

About: am a true animal lover from the bottom of my heart. I would meet so many people in the neighbourhood because I would always ask to pet and visit their animals. Starting when I was about 12, I would ride my bike to people’s homes to feed, empty litter boxes and of course show so much love to their pets; even with a slight allergy I couldn’t resist! As I became a teenager, I was commonly asked to stay at the homes belonging to my parents friends and my own coworkers because they knew I was trustworthy, so loving and would care deeply for their animals. I am a pet parent myself and know the importance of being able to trust those coming into your home and care for your beloved animals. I can absolutely guarantee I will show your pets so much love, and respect your home so you are able to have absolute peace of mind while you are away. I also have no issue caring for senior dogs or puppies, I am patient and wholeheartedly only want them to know love. I am currently a shift worker, so although my availability changes, there are only 2 days out of every week that I am not available unless it’s after 7pm. I work in a central location so I can drive to really any area throughout the city. I do not have children so I’m very flexible with times that I am needed as well as short notice requirements I will respect anything that is brought to my attention by my clients; whether it’s dietary restrictions, training habits to uphold, cleanliness, usage of gates, and anything else that is required of me to guarantee their trust
“Madison did an amazing job at taking care of my bratty buddy ✨ super friendly, very kind and obviously loves animals. Thank you sooo much for watching my doggy boy while I was away. If you’re looking for a great pet sitter Madison is the way to go!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life, whether that’s with my own pups or volunteering at my local animal shelter. I moved away from home, so any chance I get to spend time with dogs brings me such joy! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from puppies to 15 years old. I’m a responsible young adult who will treat your pet and home with care and respect. I work 9-5 monday to friday in a very flexible job. I enjoy evening walks with doggos & spending my weekends with them! I’m open to morning/evening walks as well as house sitting when needed. I believe in treating peoples homes and pets exactly how I would want mine to be treated. I’m attentive to your specific instructions with your animals and home. I take great pride in my respectful and kind nature, which allows me to form strong relationships with clients.
About: I've been a dog owner of Labradors for the past 30 years, until recently. A few months ago I said goodbye to my boy Fletcher, and life is just not the same without a dog. I am a fairly active 52 year old who lives alone, and quietly, with a fenced yard and Vickers Park nearby. I go to my family's camp in the summer, and would like to be able to take your dog with me for a good swim and hike! My house has always been a dog house. I do love to travel, so I know what it's like to have someone care for your dogs while away, and the worries and trust that go with such a responsibility. Someday I will get another dog, but until then, I would love to welcome yours into a safe, calm, environment, with lots of love, fun and outside time. I am currently free and flexible to adapt to your dog's schedule. I am the only one in the house so I am able to be present for your dog and hang out with him or her as much as they'll let me! I have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly 2 bedroom bungalow. One room is a spare so can be used to put crates or beds if dogs are nervous or want alone time. I will never kick a dog off my bed if they are willing to keep me company!
About: I have had experience with my grandparents dogs and a family friends pet. I have also taken dogs on many a walk before and know the dance to walking and caring for dogs. I am currently home full time and can give the care and attention that your pet needs. I feed my own two cats every morning and then the evening, with treats in between. I have two cats at home and we feed them in the morning and at night, if needed I can accommodate your pets preferred feeding schedule in my care and ensure they only eat what you'd prefer them to.
About: Hello. My name is Amanda 🫶 I am 38 years old 😬 I consider myself a pet magnet. People call me the animal whisperer. Never mind, the time I got ducks talking to me 🤭 I’ve even had an emu follow me around and take selfies with me 😅 I’ve been working as a groomer and pet care taker for 18 years now. 18 years in grooming and 30 years caring for pets 🐾 I have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. My main option on here is pet sitting but I also do walking. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for two years, and have many certifications including Animal Sciences 👩🎓 I work at my own home based grooming salon and doggy day care 💈✂️🧼 I often care for pets belonging to family and friends. I have a fenced in backyard that your pet will enjoy. I spend a lot of time outside, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time ☀️🐕🦺 I have a pet friendly bed and vehicle too! 🚘 I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet, whether it’s a dog, cat or small critter 🐰🐹🦔 I wake up cuddling animals and go to sleep cuddling animals. I also enjoy the outdoors so they will get plenty of fun and exercise. Tug of war or ball are what I live for. Shaking a feather around to see your kitty go crazy makes me laugh. Replenishing food and water. Tidy ups.
About: I’m an animal lover who has spent years caring for pets! Over the years, I have gained experience through house, dog, and cat sitting for my family and friends. These experiences have made me more comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and various care needs. I love getting outside and going for long walks which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I am just as suited for calmer pets who prefer quiet company! I treat each pet with genuine care to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are away from their owners. I am currently a Master’s student with a super flexible schedule! Since my coursework and research hours aren’t fixed, I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, or pet-setting. I spend most of my time working from home which gives me the freedom to check in on pets, take them for long walks, or stay overnight whenever needed. To foster a safe, trusted environment, I focus on keeping routines as familiar as possible for your pets. I follow owner’s instructions clearly (e .g., feeding schedules, walk times, medications) and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
“Felipe was absolutely amazing. He met me and my dog Esker the day before the scheduled booking and I coule immediately tell he was great with dogs. It was a pretty short notice booking and he really helped me out. He came by while I was out of town and spent time playing with Esker and walking him. He gave me some nice photos from their hangout and a really detailed update. I will 100% be hiring him again in the future. Thanks again Felipe!”
About: Experienced with all dogs, from pups to seniors. Gentle care, training basics, and plenty of love! I’ve had many dogs in my life and currently have a 5 year old samoyed puppy as well as a 6 month old pug! I have experience with playful, reserved, older, and cranky dogs, and love them all equally. I am very passionate and active so will be there for playtime as well as time where your pup needs a companion while they miss you. I have so much love and will love them as my own! I also have had cats, birds, fish, and hamsters! I am currently in college and I have all the time in the world to care for your babies! And on the weekends I am free! I have trained many dogs on leash and off leash and am comfortable with both styles of walking, I have also gone through potty training plenty and have a good grasp on helping teach puppies or older pups! I have also worked with reactive dogs and that is no problem for me.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—the kind where you smile just seeing one walk by. Over the years, I’ve cared for both spirited puppies and mellow senior dogs, and I’ve loved every stage in between. My parents brought home a beagle three years ago, and from teething to training, I’ve been part of his puppy journey ever since. More recently, I’ve helped care for my boss’s 11-year-old dog, Iggy, which gave me insight into the gentler pace and extra care older pups sometimes need. What makes me different? I approach every dog with curiosity—no two are the same, and I love figuring out what makes each tail wag. I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy long walks, cuddle breaks, and the little routines that make dogs feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt with heart and care. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility during the day to focus on pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so whether it’s weekday walks, playtime breaks, or weekend visits, I’m available and ready. My weekends are completely free, so longer stays or extra attention when you’re away is no problem at all. I care for pets where they’re happiest—right at home. Whether it’s walks, visits, or overnight stays, I keep things calm, familiar, and full of love. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect your space, and give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Safe, stress-free, and always reliable.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages for 8 years. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, train, give medication, and love their pets. I just finished my Social Work degree. I’m currently working part-time as a server, and work a casual job. My schedule is usually pretty open, and I can work with your availability and be flexible as well! I will make sure your dog is on a leash/in a fenced in yard to ensure safety. I can bring your dog to the beach or a park if good off-leash and with other dogs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thunder Bay
Loved Zola! This was my first time using the Rover app, and she made the entire experience so easy and stress free. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well looked after while I was away. My two cats absolutely loved her. She took the time to get to know each of their unique personalities, making sure their individual needs were met while giving them both so much love and attention. I really appreciated all the thoughtful updates and personal touches throughout my trip. I will definitely book again with Zola the next time I’m out of town.
Madison took great care of our 2 cats while we were away! She's reliable, punctual, and a great communicator, and having her dropping in on our cats put our minds at ease. One of our cats is typically very timid, but the first time she met Madison she went to her right away for pets! I would recommend Madison to anyone and we would definitely book with her again in the future!
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!
We are so grateful to Samantha. Unfortunately our other rover sitter backed out only one day into our trip, so we had to scramble to find someone else while already out of town. Samantha responded right away and accommodated us, sending lots of photos and even helping us troubleshoot a couple of things with our house! She gave our kitties a lot of playtime and attention and reassured me that they were taking their medications. Will definitely have Samantha back in the future!
