Cat Sitting Welland

“Holly is incredible. This is her second time with my kitties. I have a very timid cat, and she let Holly give her pets and came out to eat in her usual spot. Holly helped create a safe and comfortable environment in her check ins with my two cats. She gave me such peace of mind with photos and updates. Thank you Holly!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

“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!”

“Riley is wonderful and had no trouble carrying a conversation. She seemed very interested in the pets and the fur babies loved her. I hope to book more visits so they get use to her. Eventually I would like to travel with peace of mind knowing that the animals are well cared for.”

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: 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.

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

“Tata is amazing. My kitty was somewhat feral when I got her years ago. Doesn't trust anyone but myself and my husband. She came and GREETED Tata when she arrived. Every day. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi I’m Katrina! I am a nurse, lifelong animal lover, and a dog mom to a Cane Corso mix and a toy poodle mix❣️ I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting, my goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy in their normal routine. Being in healthcare means I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and calm in different situations, which carries over into how I care for animals too. You can expect reliable care, lots of affection, and photo updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own (with maybe a few extra belly rubs). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced, I would love to help!

“Johnathon did a perfect job caring for our energetic dog. Lou took to him right away and even got to play with his pup Finn. I definitely recommend Johnathon for your pet service needs.”

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.

“Emily is great with Mötley. He's a high energy Aussie and by the end of her visits, he's tuckered out. I also love the Rover cards left by her with how the visit went as well as pictures.”

“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!!!”

I have experience working with dogs that have special behavioural or health needs. This includes dogs who are on a medication schedule, have epilepsy or other health concerns. I have worked with many dogs who need extra care and time to get comfortable with new people, dogs and environments at their own pace.

“Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++”
