About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. Iâve been around animals my whole life and have trained three of my own dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and training needs. Iâve also cared for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who experience anxiety and stress. My own puppy has severe anxiety, so I understand how important it is to give nervous pets extra patience, reassurance, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I love making sure pets get plenty of attention and enrichment, whether that means going for walks, playing, grooming, practicing training, or simply spending time together. I treat every animal as an individual and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. đžâ¤ď¸ I work part-time, usually 5-hour shifts, and Iâm completing university online, so Iâm home for most of the day. This means pets will only be alone for a limited amount of time and will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day. Iâm happy to work around each petâs individual routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home, keeping them in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and any special care they need. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

I have a mixed work schedule of work from home and in-office - let's chat to see how I can best accommodate your own work schedule and needs for pet care. I take care of your pets the same way I do mine - with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. I am very flexible and can adapt my care to your pets' particular needs. Shy, outgoing, picky? No problem. I've seen and dealt with all sorts.

âChristine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christineâs care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me đ¤Š. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine đťđťâ

âWe have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. JeanâFrançois completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend JeanâFrançois enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you JeanâFrançois, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)â

About: Patient and caring dog walker and dog sitter with 10+ years of experience with various dog breeds (incl. large dogs). Eager to join Rover to take its furry clientele on long stress-relieving walks regardless of weather conditions. My love for animals is far out of this world! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have plenty of free time during the day and evenings. I lost my best friend to cancer two years ago when he was 14, and caring for him taught me just how special the bond with a pet can be. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means taking them for walks, playing with them, or welcoming them into my home for boarding. I would be happy to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine and give each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I care for pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow their usual routines, provide fresh food and water, give them exercise and playtime, and keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.

âMala was really helpful we had a last minute trip and needed a sitter ASAP and she was there when we needed her. She communicated with us throughout the day and when she left. Great sitter!â

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, taking care of their wants, needs and ensuring a safe environment! I love animals and enjoy providing life enrichment! I am currently looking for part-time work, and am looking to provide this service! I am very flexible to suit the needs of your pet and how you want their day to look! I have a fenced yard, surrounded by parks and have two friendly dogs to keep them company! I could easily follow a given schedule or routine.
âNevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!â

âHolly cat sit for three weeks for us. She was so lovely - very professional and communicative! Took great care of our cats and our home. Would definitely hire her again any time.â

About: Iâve always had a genuine love for dogs, and caring for my own 12 year old cocker spaniel has taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and compassion. She has digestive issues, so I prepare her meals myself and closely monitor her health: this experience has made me especially attentive to the unique needs each dog might have. I love taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels happy and safe. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets many times, knowing I treat every animal like my own. Whether itâs a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, Iâm dedicated to providing loving, reliable care every time! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I'm a university student who genuinely loves dogs and would be so happy to spend my free time caring for and hanging out with pups. I also love going on walks, so your dog can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise with me:) my apartment is very pet friendly, with a dog wash area and outdoor space for dogs to play. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company, or just lots of love and attention, I'd be happy to make them feel at homeâ¤ď¸ When caring for pets in my clientâs home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. Iâm very attentive to each petâs behavior and health, always keeping a close eye to ensure theyâre happy and well.
âWe are more then thankful and grateful for Abigailâs pet sitting services. Our Luna was loved and taken care of by Aby. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the week. The house was immaculate when we returned. She even took out the huge pile of garbage we add accumulated through winter. I recommend her services ? %. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Abigail. Luna misses you ? Martine and Adisonâ

âOnce again Natalia has taken amazing care of Leo while my partner and I were travelling. Our fur-baby clearly loves spending time with her, and it makes us so grateful to know he is in such excellent hands âşď¸â

About: I've had a pet ever since I can remember, life's incomplete without one. I have lots of experience with various sizes of dogs, and with cats. I'm comfortable around all animals. I work full time but have full availability in the evenings and weekends. I also wake up early and have time in the morning to spend with pets! I have been around pets my entire life.
