Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️

About: Looking for a reliable, attentive, and experienced dog walker in the KW area? My name is Janaya, and I am passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs through my dog walking services. I am currently a student living away from my fluffy boy Rudy, and looking to get back into the routine of exercise and daily walks. With years 11 of experience as a dog owner, and 1 year as a barn animal assistant, I value the importance of regular enrichment and engagement for animals. From leisurely strolls to brisk walks, I tailor each outing to your dog's individual needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to chat with you about how I can meet your dog's needs and provide you with peace of mind. - Janaya Y. I am available daily, for early morning, midday, and afternoon walks. I am currently a student studying from home, and the best way for me to stretch my legs and take breaks between studies is to walk! 💡Please refrain from booking walks with me after 8:00PM💡 Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’ll ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow any specific routines or instructions you provide and offer updates so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note that I currently do not offer service within my own home.

As usual, Olivia was super attentive with our cat. We checked the camera during one of the visits and he was on her lap purring like a little machine, so I guess that means all of us involved had a great experience! We’ll keep booking her every time we need someone to keep an eye out for our little guy

Dave was wonderful with providing daily feedback about our kitties while we were away. We have 1 kitty that hid the whole time and he patiently tried to coax her out of hiding every day. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worry. We will definitely use Dave again.

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!

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!

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.

Adam did a great job of taking care of our kitten for two days. It was the first time we had left him so I was very nervous but Adam came to meet Jack ahead of time and it was obvious that our little guy was in good hands. Adam sent updates and photos at each visit. We would definitely recommend Adam!

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.
