About: I am honoured to have been trusted with the care and custodianship of cherished pets, furry, scaly, and slimey, since I was a young child, which has given me invaluable experience and skill. Whether you need occasional help with walks, feeding, or sitting while you are away, I'm your gal! I've also got lots of exotic pet experience (I have three bunnies myself, and many aquaria) as well as experience caring for diverse houseplants and gardens. I pride myself in meeting the needs of even the most specialized critters, big or small, and look forward to providing the best experience for your pets, especially those that need a little extra love. I will make my schedule work with yours and look forward to talking soon! I am a mechanical engineering student, so my schedule is very flexible. I walk, cycle, and TTC, so no need for parking! I love having the opportunity to integrate furry friends into my routine. I am a seasoned carer for my three buns (dusty, soup, and drosophila), gerbils (miso), leopard gecko (artemis), and have had many hamsters. I maintain several freshwater aquaria with my partner, and have TONS of plants. I will follow your specifications and requests to a tee, and can be contacted on my cell whenever you need. I am also seasoned in housekeeping, should that be a plus!

About: Hi there! We are so happy to get to know your fur babies. We have been surrounded by animals our whole life, and have had over 10 years of taking care of pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Your can expect the utmost TLC from us! It is all about what they need - whether it's lounging, cuddling, roughhousing, or just some space. We are doting pet parents at heart. We only host 1 pet a time, and only host multiple if they're from the same household, so rest assured your furry friends will get exclusive care and attention, especially those who may need a bit more time and space to settle in. In your pet's best interest, we cannot accept pets that have not been potty trained or those with special medical or psychological needs. We love senior pets though! We both work from home, so we are able to provide round-the-clock care and attention during weekdays. On weeknights and weekends, there is usually at least 1 of us at home, but in cases when we're both away, we're not usually gone for more than 4 hours at a time. We live in a detached house with a fairly large fenced backyard, which your dog will be welcome to explore, so privacy, safety and space isn't an issue. There's no off-limits space in the house, except our bed.

About: I live with and care for two reactive (but mostly beautiful and intelligent) village dogs in Midtown Toronto. I have daily experience and a deep understanding of their needs for appropriate space from triggers, positive reinforcement exercises, and decompression activities. To successfully manage their needs, I've gained a strong knowledge of canine communication, arousal and stress levels, and appropriate environmental settings. I have first hand experience taking a puppy from street to house - fully potty and house trained, and able to calmly interact with people and dogs all with only positive reinforcement. If you're looking for someone who can take care of your reactive or high needs dog, or someone who will take your dogs needs seriously, I'm here for you! As a freelance musician who works evenings, I usually have time for your dog on most weekdays through the 9-5 workday, and during the day on most weekends. I can ensure that I'll care for your dog with the same standards that I care for mine: positive reinforcement only, no pulling on their leash, no off-leash walks unless in a safe and fully fenced environment, no on-leash interactions with other dogs (or people if preferred/needed), appropriate and responsible canine socialization (needs dependant), and my complete and undivided attention and care.

About: I’m a dog parent myself and she’s a beautiful yellow lab whom I love so much and adore playing with her. Since my college days, my friends n family have entrusted me to care for their furry companions, handling everything from walking to feeding, playing and bathing. I’m currently working remotely, so I’ll have ample of time to engage your baby in activities and long walks. My own dog loves other dogs and she’s friendly and she welcome them and try to ease their transition into an easy one. Try https://www.rover.com/sit/vanitt27493 Your Promo Code: VANITT27493 for discount. I have a big high balcony from where your pet can watch all the live activities with my dog. There are nearby parks alongside the lake for walks and a dog park too, if your fur baby loves going there. There’s a crate too if your dog loves their own space.

About: Hello my name is Aliyaah! I have always loved animals ever since I was little. I am new to Rover, I've been caring for animals for over 8 years now. I really believe our pets are family - they deserve care, comfort, and lots of affection, especially when you're not home. Whether your dog needs a fun, energizing walk or your cat just wants some quiet company and cuddles, I'm here to give them the attention they deserve. When your pet is with me, you'll receive: 💯Regular photo and video updates 💯Quick responses to any questions If your pet has a routine I will follow it exactly as you request and will make sure your pet has the best care. Whether your dog is energetic, playful, or just wants all the cuddles, I would adjust to their personality and make sure they feel at home. I know how to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable even when you're away. With me, your dog will get plenty of walks, going to the park, cuddles, and attention, and I'll make sure they feel right at home. My ultimate goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend/baby is happy, relaxed, and well cared for. My sister and I saved a puppy “Spicy” from the harsh streets of St.Lucia and brought her back up to Toronto for a better life and that whole experience has made me have an unconditional love for caring for animals. I’ve had all kinds of pets from birds, hamsters, dogs and fish. Pets are so loyal, sweet and remind me every day how important it is to show kindness. It would be my greatest honour to be there for you and your fur baby. ☺️✨ I go on long walks already since I work from home. So going on walks and taking care of pets would definitely fit my routine. I am also open to many different kind of animals or more than one and I am also available for home check ups and overnight stays as well. Well firstly I would make sure to properly introduce myself by being soft and kind speaking in a gentle tone. Then make your pet feel safe by creating a bed or sitting on the floor around them so they get used to me and my sent. Treats also help so I would make sure to give treats and a lot of encouragement and toys being playful, gentle and not invasive. Each dog is different and I’m very good at adapting to any situation.

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, having cared for five of my own over the years. I currently help care for a high-energy, highly trained dog every day, handling everything from feeding and exercise to grooming and dental care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I’d give my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my life. I recently finished my Master of Environmental Science, so I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors. Most days, you'll find me out for a walk, at a park, or finding reasons to get outside and stay active. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, so having one by my side feels normal rather than something I have to make time for. I genuinely enjoy the company, whether that means going for a long walk, playing fetch, or just hanging out together at home. I think dogs pick up on when someone truly enjoys being around them, and that's a big part of why I love caring for them. At my home, I keep dogs active and engaged with a morning run or park visit, followed by a few shorter walks throughout the day. I also spend about 30 minutes daily on training or play, working on obedience and tricks, plus lots of attention and cuddles. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so dogs feel comfortable, while making sure they get plenty of exercise, structure, and care.
