I can't recommend Olivia enough!! Right from the start, our cat Milo liked her, which made us feel at ease to leave him under her care. She is calm, respectful, and caring and her thorough reports even helped us detect an issue, which we were able to solve with her help to make Milo more comfortable while we were away. We are very grateful to have found her, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Wei-Chien was an amazing, top notch sitter who went above and beyond for our kitties. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos and always provided an update on what she did with the cats and how they were doing. We knew our cats were in good hands with Wei-Chien - even when there were messes. We would highly recommend her services and we plan on hiring her again in the future. Thank you Wei-Chien for your amazing work!

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.

Another wonderful visit from Daniela after my cat had just had surgery. She was very careful and ensured he received his pain meds on time as I had to go out of town for a night shortly after. She’s absolutely wonderful, I’m so happy I came across her profile last summer. She’s my go to for my little senior fur babies whenever they need a check in, or any time my pup needs a walk! Thanks again Daniela for a wonderful experience - my fur babies adore you!

Lizzy exceeded all expectations and made my first experience leaving my cats for an extended period completely stress-free. From the start, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, putting my mind at ease. Each day, Lizzy sent adorable pictures of my cats, giving me peace of mind and keeping me connected to them while I was away. Her detailed messages were thorough, updating me on how they were doing, what they were eating, and any other observations she made. Not only did she meticulously follow all of our instructions, but she also went above and beyond in ensuring the cats were comfortable and well cared for. Working with Lizzy was seamless—her communication was prompt, her attention to detail unmatched, and her warm demeanor truly reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I think my kitties already miss her!

Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!

A vacation isn't one at all if you're stressed about your babies. Shannon has made my last vacations restful and relaxing knowing with photo updates and detailed notes how each of our two Lab pups are doing. She cares for our home and family like these were her very own! A gem of a person and a total superhero to us and our Pupps! Highly recommend!

About: NOTE: Times I am available are listed under "Availability" (left side of screen on computer + in the middle of this section on phone) I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience pet sitting for others, so I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace, while also being able to keep up with energetic puppies who need structure, play, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly to anything your pet might need. I’m also very mindful of routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just maintaining the environment your pet is used to. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for the entire time. ********************* **Schedule updated weekly** Available ANYTIME on: Tuesday (9th) - Thursday (11th), Sunday (14th) Available anytime BEFORE 4:00PM on: Monday (8th), Friday (12th), Saturday (13th) (As Rover is not showing the times I am available, I will update this section of my profile every week.) ********************* When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful of your pet’s comfort and behavior, and I always make sure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I also respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.

About: ***Welcoming new friends for walks/drop ins!*** With over 30 years of caring for cats and dogs, we guarantee that we will care for and love your pet as if they were our own. I started walking a neighbour’s dog and caring for cats when I was in my midteens - after years of longing for a pet in a pet-free home, it was a way to get a “fix”! Over the years I have cared for other people’s companions and eventually my own. I didn’t get my first dog until I was 29! Since then I have had 5 dogs. The most recent is Lily, a potcake from Bahamas. She joins Poppy, our l mutt who loves to play and take up the whole couch. We are a family that adores our dogs and everyone else’s too! My kids have had dogs in their lives since they were born and they are excellent with dogs of all kinds. My teenage daughter now joins me in caring for animals as a part-time job. This is at no additional cost to clients! Got two dogs? You get two times the love for the same price! If we are dropping in to see your companion, we promise to give them whatever they need - cuddles, play time or to just sit in quiet company. If your dog needs a walk, it will involve lots of focussed attention, chatting, pats, and treats (if allowed). We know what your pet means to you because we know what ours mean to us. And we know the kind of care and attention we want our dogs to have when we have to leave them behind. We offer care and affection, with a personal touch, whether drop-ins or walks. A note about fees: Nightly fees are for up to 24 hours. Additional time that is not a full day may incur additional fees. Not all holidays or high demand times in Ontario or Canada are included by Rover (ie Family Day, March Break) so rates may be adjusted for holidays. I work part-time outside the home. My husband works from home 4 days a week. We fit dog-walking and playtime in around our work and family obligations and usually get at least one big nature walk in on the weekends. Our dogs are part of our daily lives, napping nearby while we work or hanging out with us while we read, watch tv, or play games. We have a large fenced yard and our dogs have the run of the house. We also have a crate and can offer it if your dog needs a space to rest or stay if we go out or overnight. Daily walks and play time, snuggles if they want to, care and affection are just routine around here. We are definitely dog people! I have taken a basic canine first aid course and keep basic first aid supplies in the case of an emergency before veterinary care can be accessed. This would only be used immediately in case of an injury and would not replace veterinary attention.

Sandra is an amazing and attentive cat-favourite! She looks after my 2, particularly energetic and anxious, cats (who love her) while I’m away and gives me such peace of mind. My cats are nearly identical, but only one gets medication, and with Sandra I never have to worry about them being given to the wrong one.
