About: Amoureuse des animaux depuis toujours, je prends soin de vos compagnons comme s’ils étaient les miens. Depuis plus d’un an, je travaille avec des chiens réactifs, ce qui m’a appris à comprendre leurs besoins, respecter leur rythme et instaurer un climat de confiance. Que ce soit pour une courte visite à domicile ou un moment de câlins et de jeux, votre animal sera entre de bonnes mains, en toute sécurité et avec beaucoup d’amour Je possède déjà un travail de jour. Je travail de 7h le matin donc le départ ce fait vers 6h et je termine à 16h. Dependament de la demande. Je peut être disponible en tout temps si votre chien est okay avec des périodes d’absences le temps que je face mon travail. Je suis dispo les fin de semaines que ce sois les marches ou bien des jours. J’offre mes services dans un rayons d’environ 1h de route. Dependament des besoins de votre animal , je m’adapte à toute sorte de chien. S’il a besoin de marche nous allons marcher beaucoup. Sil est plus tranquille nous allons être tranquille. Mais j’aime bien faire au moin une marche le matin et une marche le soir , des soirée jeux et parfois des soirées cinéma !
About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed
About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule
“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”


About: I have 2 dogs (golden doodles), ive been taking care of them for the past 11 years. I walk them 3 times a day, bath and cut their hair myself. With my 2 dogs, I walk them morning, afternoon and night, I always find a way to squeeze them around my schedule. I can do the same for you. I care for pets by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, comfort, and respect. I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Cristine is the one you want to hired to take care of your dog. She is amazing! She came to our house to take care of our dog and we can tell he had a good time and was well take care of. She left our house spotless and we feel she went above and beyond to take care of Roscoe. I would recommand her 110%. And for sure we Will hired her again”
“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”

“Margaret watched our home and 3 year old lab while we were out of state for a weekend. Everything was perfect. Margaret sent updates and photos throughout the weekend and kept us at ease while we were gone. Doug was lucky to make a new friend!”

“We had an excellent experience with Don! He took wonderful care of our puppy, Simon, and it was clear Simon was happy and well looked after. He followed all instructions, gave Simon plenty of attention, and kept us updated while we were away. On top of that, our house was just as we left it—clean and tidy. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
