About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and know how much they brighten a day. Whether it’s walks, play, or just company, I make sure they’re cared for and happy. Being a student gives me the flexibility to fit into your pup’s routine and keep things easy for both of you. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, most of Wednesday during the day, and weekends too. That makes it easy for me to fit in regular walks or quick check-ins when you need them. I take walks seriously and always put safety first, whether that means sticking to familiar routes, keeping a close eye on traffic, or matching your dog’s pace and energy. I’ll follow any instructions you give so you know your pup is in good hands.
“Holly has come to check-in on my two cats multiple times now. She is so incredible every time. I have a very shy cat and she let's Holly pet her—which is so rare!! Holly always takes such good care of the cats so that I don't ever have to worry when I'm away. I recommend her for all your pet sitting needs wholeheartedly!”
“Amazing, it was nice to go away and feel comfortable that my animals were well taken care of. Cassandra is professional and cares about the animals she has in her care.”
About: I’ve always had a dog or cat (or both!) in my life. I love all animals. I guess you could say pets complete me. They make my house a home. I am a retired nurse who is enjoying her new freedom but isn’t finished caring just yet. I am retired and very flexible with my time. I am available any day of the week and throughout each day to accommodate your pets needs. I will respect your space as well as your pets space. I will keep your pets safety my priority and always follow your directions to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind that your pet is receiving the same care you provide.
About: I grew up with a beautiful, high-energy golden retriever, taking him for walks and car rides, brushing him, and giving him tons of pets. As someone who loves animals but isn’t in the position to have a pet of my own, I take any opportunity I can to hangout and take care of them. I had the opportunity recently to dog walk a senior dog and pet sit a couple big dogs for a few family friends and loved every minute of it. I took them for walks and potty breaks, fed them, played with them, and made sure to keep them on their normal routine while their owners were away. I am a quick learner who is able to follow instruction very well and ask questions when needed, so if your pet needs any extra care (for example, administering oral medication), I am more than comfortable taking on new tasks. I am currently in between employment and am looking for ways to make some money while I gear up for a master’s program in Scotland this fall. My availability is very flexible (e.g. mornings, afternoons, evenings, week days, and weekends) as my only other commitment is helping my brother with special needs on occasion. I will have plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your pets. I am very respectful, making sure to treat your home and pets as my own and ensuring their safety. For walks, I’ll make sure to use your preferred collar or harness, take the same walking route if that is what your pet prefers, always picking up their poop and putting it in the proper garbage, and making sure the doors/gates are locked before leaving. If your dog doesn’t enjoy interactions with other pets or people, I will make sure to avoid those situations, or if they do, give them plenty of time to socialize. In the home, I will make sure any hazards are put away, food is secured, things are put back where they belong, and make sure off-limit places stay off-limits. I will follow all instructions and send questions your way if I am unsure about anything. Plus, I’ll send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well when you’re away.
About: Do you work long shifts and need someone to check on your cat or walk your dog? Are you going away and need someone to visit your pet? Does your cat or dog require medication that you aren't home to give? As an experienced cat and dog owner, I would love to care for your pets while you are working or away. A previous owner of 5 dachshunds (yes 5!), I currently have two senior cats and have used Rover to take care of them when I am away. As a retired health care worker and owner of a cat with complex needs,I am comfortable with giving medications both oral and injectable. I enjoy walking small to medium size dogs, and especially love doggie cuddles! My availability is quite flexible and am open to last minute requests. I am free most weekdays from early morning until 7 pm and occasional weekends. I am happy to do multiple visits and the occasional overnight in my home. I am willing to visit the pets home ensuring they are fed, watered, and have a clean living space. I am happy to take dogs for leisurely walks at their pace and distance. My own yard, should I watch them here is completely fenced in with very few stairs. And of course, lots of cuddles!

They free feed and have their bowls washed daily. When it comes to clients pets i stick to your instructions, I will always make sure they have access to water.
About: Having them in my life I don’t feel alone anymore… we play, run and eat good food.. love watching dog shows on tv …….lovingly … I realized that scheduling my day around them makes more sense… morning stretches.. breakfast..walking.. afternoon naps and cuddles then go out again… dinner relax exercise I have a fenced yard for raining and extremely hot/cold days and walk with them everywhere. Not to crazy about dog parks but I take them to cleaner places. We do stretching and treat hunts, throw the ball even read a story at nap/bed time
About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for them. I have experience with pets of different ages and temperaments, including daily walks, feeding routines, litter care, and providing reliable companionship. From horses to chickens, cats and a pig, and most recently being a volunteer dog walker for the local shelter. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines and give them the patience, attention, and kindness they deserve. Your pet’s wellbeing is always I am available early morning, afternoons and evenings most days, and will always try to help on short notice. Hope to hear from you soon. Trustworthy, reliable and caring for your pets like they are my own. With regular updates and photos for your peace of mind while in my care.

“Emily is punctual, and flexible! She drops in for a puppy visit with our 12 week old lab, and interacts wonderfully with him. She also has been teaching my 2 children how to handle the puppy stage, and building their confidence with Woody. She is a God send :)”
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. We have saved 500 dogs off the streets of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left it late 2021 as the stress was too much but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 5 rescue dogs total: 1. Bulldog (named KD) 2. Beagle (Lucy) 3. Collie (Kody) 4. Husky (Pretzel) 5. Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily! 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. 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 usually always home. 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 we can do injections, first aid and CPR. 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! 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 every evening/night and usually does evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard with patio stones, straw and wood chips to avoid mud! Concrete around the edges to avoid any escaping. Three of our dogs are well socialized and love to play! The other two we keep separate. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats 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 room".
“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!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Welland
Miryam did an amazing job caring for our two cats during our honeymoon. She was able to befriend our shy boy and is an excellent communicator. We appreciated the updates we received with each visit. Our home was well cared for while we were away. And she was able to give our eldest cat his puffers.
Noor was amazing! Our cats are very shy and usually give us a hard time when meeting new people, so we were nervous about leaving them but Noor was so diligent and loving with them that they warmed up to her quickly. Noor has definitely earned us as loyal customers!
