About: A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog. I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime. I provide cage-free dog boarding in my own home, offering full-time supervision while I work. Your pet will enjoy a loving environment with my friendly Goldendoodle, featuring four 20-to-30-minute outdoor walks daily and plenty of playtime in my securely fenced yard. I follow your exact care instructions to keep your dog's routine safe, consistent, and happy.
“Pranit is so good with Maverick. He comes home relaxed and well-mannered, which tells me that Pranit really worked with him to continue our puppy training while we were gone. We get great updates and feel totally confident that Maverick is having a blast with Pranit!”
“Our almost 3 year old dog just spent 1 week with Isha… and loved it! We felt so at ease leaving her in such good hands. Isha + family genuinely love our dog like their own and it shows. We couldn’t recommend them enough. We even received detailed updates and pictures everyday which was the BEST. Thanks for welcoming Grimm into your pack, Isha!! We appreciate you so so much.”
About: I specialize in caring for French Bulldogs. I have my own French Bulldog who is almost 9 years old, so I understand this breed very well — their personality, sensitivity, and special needs. I only host French Bulldogs and only one guest dog at a time so they can feel calm and safe. Your dog will stay together with my friendly French Bulldog and will receive the same love, attention, and routine that my own dog receives every day. My goal is to help owners travel or go on vacation without worrying, knowing their Frenchie is in safe and caring hands. I specialize in caring for French Bulldogs.

I only host one guest dog at a time, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. Someone is always home, which means your dog will not be left alone for long periods of time.

About: I love taking care of pups and taking them for walks. I would love to work together to provide loving care for your pets. Cannot wait to meet you! I am currently working part time and from home, so I am available to look after your pets in my free time. With 2 children off to university this year, my schedule is much freer! I would follow the pet owners' instructions and respect their home and their rules. I can transport pets to their favourite places for walks and exercise.
“Ranjitha, her partner and their kitty Oreo were so good to my kitty cat Coco. Both cats got along so well and mine was able to roam their house freely. Absolutely recommend her boarding service.”
“Suzie enjoyed her time with Melanie. Melanie is very good with Suzie. Takes her for walks a couple of times a day which Suzie always enjoy. Melanie will continually communicate with you to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. We have rebooked with Melanie already. I would recommend Melanie.”
“We were very fortunate to have Natalie look after our rambunctious 1 yr old Lab Beau for a week while we were on vacation. She was very patient with him as were her dogs Sawyer and Daphne. She kept us updated and assured us he was settling down - eventually ?. He returned home happy and tired - a sign of a great holiday!”
About: My love for pet sitting started with my own dog. The first time I left him at a kennel, I quickly realized how stressful that environment was for him. He was much happier and more comfortable when someone could stay with him in a familiar home, and that experience inspired me to provide the same kind of care and comfort to other pets. I’ve been caring for dogs for 8+ years, including walking and looking after my neighbours dogs, and I have experience with dogs at every stage of life from playful puppies to beloved seniors. My own dog is 14 years old and 51 lbs, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older dogs can need. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I am a college student with the flexibility of most of my classes being online. I am available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, At anytime in the KW area. Your pets comfort and well-being is my priority. When caring for them in their home, I do my best to keep them to their usual routines and schedules so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I’m adaptive and attentive to your instructions, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Excellent care and communication. Went above and beyond for my dog and gave him great opportunities to meet friends and socialize more! Will definitely book again when I need to”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Our sitter was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again”
About: I have a innate love of animals. Large or small, confident or timid, young or old, they all have a place in my heart. I am patient, adaptable and calm even when others may not be. My critical thinking skills help me to troubleshoot any situation your pet might challenge me with. I always look for a win-win outcome. Your pets walk and play time every day is an important part of their lives, and I look forward to spending my time with them. Georgia is an American Staffy that we rescued last year, at approximately 1 years old. Since then we have focused on all levels of training, including agility, to help deal with her reactivity. We have made tremendous progress over the last year with her. I am available between 7 and 6 Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays can also be accommodated. My flexible schedule means that I can provide care on your schedule. I know that timing and routine are important to your pet and yourself, and I am punctual and dependable. I understand how important the safety of your furry friend is to you. Should your pet join us in our home, they will have the opportunity to enjoy our fully fenced back yard during play time. During walking times, there are many lovely trails and pathways in our quiet residential neighborhood that we can enjoy together.
“We highly recommend Sarah! It was our first time leaving Milo, our puppy, and we were anxious about how he would do. She did a fantastic job managing his anxiety and keeping him happy and healthy while we were on a family vacation. She kept us at ease the entire time, giving us updates and sending photos of Milo. It’s such a relief to find someone like Sarah - we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby!”
“Our pups were well cared for during their stay. They were happy to see us but not a finally you are here greeting. A good feeling ending a good experience. A wonderful relief to find a safe loving environment to leave our babies in when the need arises. Very grateful for Grace. Hoping she will be available when we need her again.”

Behnaz was absolutely amazing with our very energetic dog over the weekend! She took wonderful care of him and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also kept us updated throughout his stay with detailed messages and plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time with her! In fact, as we were driving away after picking him up, he was looking back at her as if he didn't want to leave. That says it all! Highly recommend Behnaz to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for their furry companion. Thanks so much, Behnaz!
We left our pup for a day with Jayson, and he absolutely loved it! We were worried at first since leaving a young dog can be stressful, but Jayson kept our minds completely at ease. He was very accommodating with all of our requests and sent timely updates and photos throughout the day. Our pup came home happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jayson and will definitely use him again!
Anna Clara was very through and careful while she sat my cat. She updated me with photos & videos and whether my cat was eating or not. She was also concerned when my cat wasn't eating enough and hadn't pooped over a day. My cat is a rescue and almost never lets me pick her up Anna Clara was able to pick her up. I found her very caring and attentive towards my cat. I would definitely reach out to her for my cat in future.
Qi C did a wonderful job taking care of our cockapoo Bella. She is an anxious dog by nature, but Qi C was very attentive and loving with her, which helped her to settle in. We got photos and updates throughout the day so we didn’t worry, and when we picked her up Bella seemed happy. We will use Qi C again in the future.
My giant breed dog, Sunny, loved his stay with Micki! He's not always the easiest, but she handled him like a pro! I got updates and pictures daily, and he seemed genuinely happy and comfortable at her place, even though it was the first time he stayed somewhere other than home. I would highly recommend her services! Thanks so much for everything, Micki!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
