“Sabrina is incredibly kind and patient with my dog. I was initially worried about how my dog would behave during walks, but they returned so happy. The experience with Sabrina has been fantastic, and I couldn't be more pleased.”
About: FIRST TIME BOOKING WITH ROVER? RECEIVE $20 OFF WITH MY CODE: KIRAO92445 I love being around animals. I have had many cats all my life and now I have a Husky named Aurora who is an absolute joy to care for . I have a 3 story townhouse with lots of space for playing and a fenced in yard with space to run and have unlimited potty breaks! Aurora loves other dogs and is not aggressive at all(she's not spayed). I am available around the clock to keep an eye on your furbabies and/or have a vehicle to visit your home for walks and anything else your pet needs. My cats keep to themselves but do not appreciate being chased, I can arrange to keep them in a separate room if need be. I can't wait to hear about all your little cuties and arrange for a time to meet you and them! I am a hairstylist working from home, I work part time as a beauty advisor and hangout with pets with the rest of my free time :) Because I have a fenced yard I can offer many potty breaks if needed and Aurora is available all day to play and tire your pup out! If your pup needs a lot of walks, I can also provide that no problem whatsoever.

“Alex has been absolutely great with our 7 year old pit heeler, Moon. Normally, Moon takes awhile to warm up to strangers, but with Alex, there was a bond from Day 1. Alex is fantastic: reliable and on time - rain, snow or shine, courteous and goes above and beyond in their daily 1 hour walks. So happy to find you, Alex! Many thanks to you, from Moon’s family! ❤️”

“If you're seeking a trustworthy dog walker, look no further than this one. They're not only reliable but also extremely nice. The patience they show my dog is heartwarming, and it's evident that they truly love dogs.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Adam walking my husky mix while I was away recently. My dog is very large, and can be a bit reactive, but Adam was amazing with him. It is clear that he takes so much joy out of the time he spends with the animals and providing them with the best care. I got a message each day, letting me know how the walk went and how my boy was doing, which I really appreciated. It was my first time hiring a walker and it couldn't have gone better. I will absolutely be using Adam next time I have to be away.”

About: I have such a special relation with dogs. I'm mostly open towards them, as I know if my intentions and energy is pure, they don't want to hurt me. I respect them and my touch really soothes them. I'm a mother of a 3 year old girl and a homemaker. So I have so much freedom about my schedule and to enjoy my day and animals even with my daughter. I respect the space as I am there to company and care for a dear animal friend and to support their guardians' lives and needs.
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.
“Aliyah was very kind and accepted my last minute booking request to walk my dog. Maya (my labradoodle) absolutely enjoyed the walk. I would definitely recommend her and book her again for Maya. ☺️”

“I am living for Britney’s reviews of her experience on the walk with my dog, Pip are my favourite! So descriptive and funny and cute to know how Pip interacted with Britney. She is on time, friendly, super responsive. She also seems really flexible and has accommodated Pip and I last minute. Have already booked again :)”

About: “I’m patient, calm, and very attentive to pets’ needs. I have experience caring for puppies, older pets, and pets that need extra comfort, training support, and special routines.” I’m a calm, patient, and gentle caregiver who truly loves cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I respect their space while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, brushing, playtime, and giving extra care to shy or senior cats. I focus on keeping your cat relaxed and happy while you’re away. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and well supervised. I follow all care instructions, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and loved in both my home and my client’s home.

About: Known in my friend group as “the dog sitter” , whenever anyone leaves for vacation , they know who to call. Can also pick up the speed if your dog like to run! I’m a hockey coach/ instructor, lots of free time throughout the day and evening. Very flexible schedule on weekends. Early morning person if that fits your schedule! I’ll care for your pets as if they were mine. Know the area very well, can pick out parks/ trails to keep walks fun for your dogs!
“Leia seemed to like Behnaz. She was friendly and accommodating. I felt safe that she would know how to care for Leia if something happened. If/when I need help again to look after my fur babies, I won’t hesitate to contact her again .”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life ranging from small chihuahuas to Great Danes. Caring and loving animals bring me so much happiness and I would love to be given the opportunity to love and care for someone’s furry family member in their absence. I have a fenced yard at my house as well as a park within a 5 min walk for lots of exercise and play time. My availability is wide open. I can take care of your pets throughout the week and weekends. Please feel free to reach out to inquire about availability. Under my care your pet will have nonstop attention. I tend to wake up early, but I can adjust to whatever feeding schedule your pup is used to. Crates are welcome if your pup is crate trained but also not necessary as I usually let dogs get comfy in my room. I am very workable around whatever schedule your dog is used to as I want them to feel as comfortable as possible in my home.
About: I bring personal experience and lots of patience to every dog I care for. I’ve trained my own dog from puppyhood, so I understand basic training, commands, and routines. I love giving dogs attention, walks, and a calm happy environment, whether they are energetic pups or more relaxed adults. I’m currently a university student with a pretty open class schedule and lots of free time. I’m able to give dogs plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I’m happy to adjust to their routine and make sure they feel loved and cared for. Although I don’t keep a pet in my university apartment, I have a dog back home that I have trained and cared for. My apartment is spacious and pet-friendly, and there are plenty of parks and green spaces nearby for walks, playtime, and exploring, so dogs can get good exercise and lots of attention.
About: Pets are part of my family, i have always surrounded by dogs of different breed from my childhood ,as a walk lover i would like to have a companion like them to make my life and their life happy. I am student ,Will be available in the weekends and Monday ( whole day) ,and moreover i love fitness and taking the dog to the walk /Play might keep my stress at the bay so will always make myself available on the rest of the weeks for an hour.

About: I've work in multiple animal hospitals taking care of range of ages of pets from senior to barely a week old kittens. I understand the gentle nature you must have when taking care of your fur babies. My neighbor has a beautiful 16 year old cat that I take care of and at times he can have some accidents and I always do my best not just cleaning up the mess but also bathing him to make sure he stays nice a clean. Family friends have put their trust in me for taking care of their senior German shepherd while on vacation making sure she got the attention and the proper exercise while away. Each pet is unique and have their own special requirements, some need to run for miles, other's are couch potatoes and I'm capable of meeting either needs. Whether it's a nice jog or stroll, learning/reinforcing commands. I also understand that some dogs can be anxious and need time to warm up to knew people or have routines that help ease them. With my work in clinics I experienced working one on one with anxious rescues and learned how to work with them to help making them more comfortable with strangers in the clinic. At the end of the day I want to give you pets the best experience I can and treat them like my own while they're in my care. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment giving me plenty of time to take care of your fur babies, even evening too rain or shine. I'd first want to know if there's and house rules for your pets (no siting on the couch, certain areas of the house that could be off limits, timing for if they go in a crate at night). I'd want to spend as much time as I could with them getting their energy out or if their more the type to lay with you on the couch. I would always amke sure their water bowl stays full and make sure they dont get into anything while you're gone. I'd also could take garbage and recycling out if needed while you're away.
About: I’ve been around dogs for several years and currently have two of my own, so I truly understand their needs, behavior, and routines. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including energetic puppies and calm senior dogs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them attention. I’m also attentive to any special instructions like diet needs, medications, or routines. For me, pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and affection. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and ensure they get consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can stay connected with your pet. Your pet will get lots of playtime, attention, and a safe home environment I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I have experience handling dogs at home and understand how to introduce them calmly and safely. I always follow the pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions. Safety is my top priority. I ensure a supervised environment, avoid unsafe situations, and keep a close eye during interactions with other pets. I’m also comfortable with crate training if needed and can adjust based on your pet’s comfort level. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Kara was friendly, on time and very kind. You can tell she really cares for animals. I asked her a ton of questions and we set up some times to walk our high energy dog, Link. He loved her. She sent lots of photos and a video which was great. She’s going to help us out as we are expecting our first baby any day now and Kara seemed extremely reliable. Will be booking her again! Thanks Kara!”

“Cassidy is amazing with Bruno. He is so excited to see her and comes home happy and satisfied. We get daily feedback. She understands his body language well and makes sure he is in his comfort zone.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, and for as long as I can remember I have been the biggest animal lover. I have experience in dog walking, bathing, etc! I had a cat and 3 dogs. I currently have two energetic and adorable irish setters, and I previously had an english setter. I am currently a full-time student, but I have a light class schedule with a lot of free time to take care of your lovely pets! I am physically strong enough to walk bigger breeds, as all three of my dogs have been 60-90lbs. I love walking dogs, and am confident in my abilities!
