Cat Sitting Welland

“Cassandra took lovely care of Marty and Gillian while we were away from home for two days. Our usually shy cat Marty took to her instantly, and she provided play and comfort to both of them. We appreciate her presence and education on creating a positive experience for our cats and checking in on them. Gillian is timid and hid during her visits, but Cassandra took a gentle approach and provided company to her and left a positive impression every time. Thank you Cassandra for giving us great piece of mind!”

“Chelsea was so good with Max. I would not hesitate to have Chelsea care for Max again. Thank you!”

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.

About: I have my own dog, who I trained myself. I love taking dogs for walks as I know how important exercise is for dogs. A tired dog is a happy dog! I have experience dog/cat sitting for friends/family. I enjoy hanging out with animals and understanding their needs. I work part time (tuesday wednesday 8-4 and fridays 9-2:30) and have all the other days open. I am free to come play with your dog, walk your dog, feed your dog whatever you need I am there! I have a fully fenced yard. My dog is very good with other dogs if they ever needed to meet. You can trust me in your home, to keep it clean, and a great place for your dog to be in.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have two much-loved cats of my own, including one with asthma, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine, comfort, health, and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter care, playtime, administering routine care, and—most importantly—giving pets plenty of patience, affection, and company while their people are away. I also have extensive professional experience caring for and training horses, from working independently with large herds to assisting at a show barn and teaching beginner lessons. That experience taught me to read animal body language, remain calm and confident, follow detailed care instructions, and notice quickly when an animal isn’t behaving like themselves. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a genuine priority rather than trying to squeeze it into an already busy day. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can plan my routine around walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with your pets. Having two cats of my own also means animal care is already a natural and important part of my everyday life! In our home, our cats are truly part of the family! Their daily care includes wet food, supplements, lickable treats, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles they ask for. Although they love each other, they each have their own personality and need individual attention and one-on-one time with their humans. We’re a very happy, closely bonded little family, and I would bring that same warmth and attentiveness to caring for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, routines, and individual comfort levels. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and take the time to help your pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away.

“Holly is always the best. We feel so at ease when she is over watching our cat! She always makes sure he has a cute night in! I love the pictures and videos she sends. I can always trust her to really treat our bubble like her own pet! Will always recommend Holly :)”

“Flexible and easy to work with, thank you Jessica!”

Cassandra M.

“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals ever since I was younger and have dog sit before. I’m looking forward to talking care of your pet with whatever requirements you may need. I’m a full time university who in their spare time is looking to play with some pets or even just sit on the couch with them! I’m hardworking and reliable, looking to expand my experience :) I take care of my grandparents dog from time to time, including long walks, feeding routines, and providing medication. I’ve done overnight stays before with family’s pets, or daily check in visits. Growing up I had a cat and took care of her everyday, although let’s be honest cats are very independent. I’m usually the person people ask when they’re going away on vacation and need a friend for their pup! In my pet care experience I care for dogs or cats by being a person to play with and walk with, or even someone to sit with. I’m able to be that person your pet can hangout with while their owners are gone. I’m a trustworthy individual who can be interactive with your pet while you’re gone or just be in their presence. I’m able to come into your home, as I feel pets should stay in their environment they’re comfortable in!!

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

“First time using the app! Areeba did great! She was very honest and kept us up to date with questions we had throughout her time staying over. Very good experience would recommend.”

About: Hey! I’m a full time student who loves animals and knows firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m currently offering cat and dog services to help support my studies, but because I know how expensive quality care can be (and because every pet deserves reliable care), I keep my rates as low as possible. I’m a full time student so you’ll have my availability as long as I’m not actively in a lecture. Luckily, lots of courses I’m taking are online! Using positive reinforcement, I tailor my services to the preferences of both the owners and the dogs, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's drop-in visits or dog walking, I consider your dog's energy level, the temperature of the day, and other factors to provide the best care. For example, on hot days, I bring dog friendly popsicles for the pups to enjoy (with prior approval of owner, with allergies in mind). My goal is not only to ensure your dog leaves happy but also well-exercised, content, and satisfied.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.
