Whether your pet needs walks, boarding, drop-in visits, or daycare, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to their personality and routine👍 From crazy kitties to quirky pups and everyone in between🦎! I treat your pet like they’re family, because they are🩵 Multi-pet pro: I speak fluent bark, meow, and squeak! 🐕🐈🐹 I have skills/experience with all types of reactivity!🐾 I’m using rover to earn extra income for the time being. I have a very open schedule and am usually able to accommodate on short notice! I provide the extra love, care, fun (and treats..) that you’re scared your pet may miss out on. Photo updates? Absolutely! (It’s actually “required” that I take as many as I can)🩵
About: I had a senior dog in my early teens that I cared for regularly. After our senior dog passed, our family began fostering through Bruno Project, a non profit dedicated to fostering and adopting dogs from St Lucia. We did that for a few years and I was a primary caretaker. There I learned how to care for dogs that may be scared and skiddish. A few years into doing this, we found out now adopted dog of three years. I would regularly visit my parents to care for this dog. I learned everything from potty training to enrichment to feeding routines and caring for their fur. I take pride in the ability to be attentive to each pet’s needs. I regularly visit my parents house where we have our three year old rescue that I take care of when I am there. Additionally, my friend has a cat that I spend time with a few times a week. In my family’s home, I do everything for my family dog when I am there. We regularly go on walks and spend time outdoors. I am attentive to behaviour changes in your pet and approach with care. I respect the clients space and regularly stay in contact with owners to further ensure safety and communication. When I am caring for your animal I will always take your lead on what is best for your furry friend.

“Eileen did an excellent job caring for our dog. Punctual with lots of feedback and pictures. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Roxy was in great hands! 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Katrina take care of my dogs, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Katrina was outstanding in every aspect of her service. She followed all my instructions meticulously and went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were well taken care of. From the moment she arrived, it was evident that she has a natural affinity with animals. My dogs, who can be quite picky with strangers, immediately warmed up to her. She was patient, loving, and attentive to their needs. Thank you so much”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Throughout childhood, we always had 2-3 dogs in our household. I now have my own dog who I've had for 8 years, he's my absolute best friend! He's mostly blind but he doesnt let that diminish his love of life. He loves to go camping, hiking, to the beach, swimming, walks, hanging out with his humans and fur-cousins and getting in a good snuggle! I have dog-sat many furry friends and family members over the years! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, ages, etc! I've had experience with disabled, energetic, anxious, lazy, elderly dogs and more! I can walk, bathe & brush, administer medications, feed & water, car rides, beach trips, whatever your pup may need or want! 😊 I currently have lots of free time to spend with your fur babies, weekdays, weekends and holidays! I'm very passionate about pets and I would love to be able to give other pet parents the peace of mind while giving their pets exceptional care. I have a fully fenced in yard with 3 friendly dogs living in the residence. Two 8 year old and one 5 month old puppy. I'm familiar with crate training and have no problem upholding that in your household when I come over for visits!
About: I had a dog for 13 years. I have been around cats, fish, dogs, and even hedgehogs as my sister is a bit of an eclectic animal lover. I have lots of experience dog-sitting for friends and family. I have handled dogs as small as the palm of my hand to taller than myself (a very excitable Great Dane puppy). I have also worked with pets of all ages including seniors. My schedule is fairly open during the week I am a mom so my hours are tailored to that. I am available every day except for weekends. I love rules and guidelines because it gives me a clear idea of what needs to be done. I am a fast learner and ready to jump into your and your animals' daily routines!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“I was in a bind and reached out to Kristen. She was very quick to respond and super friendly. As a first time puppy owner, Kristen understood my anxiety and was extremely calming. She checked in on my puppy and provided me with updates during the check in. I felt a peace knowing that she was able to pop in and look in on my furbaby. I highly recommend Kristen and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Shawna, I’m 30 years old, I work in Human Resources, and I LOVE animals! I truly believe that animals are the key to a happy life! I remember from a very young age being extremely interested in all things nature - rabbits, toads, birds, and of course cats and dogs! Each animal is so unique and incredible. Growing up, I was very fortunate to have the companionship of dogs and cats and the guidance of my mother to teach me how to love and care for each one with kindness and gentleness. I have pet sit for many family members and friends over the years and am currently a proud parent to our 6 year old rescue cat, Chico. Currently, we live in a house that doesn’t accommodate the room a dog needs to be happy and comfortable. I am however lucky to live in a neighbourhood with many friendly dogs always looking for a pet and care for my in-laws’ 12 year old yellow lab, Bella, on a regular basis! I understand that walking and play time is crucial in maintaining a healthy lifestyle for your furry friend. I guarantee that your dog will be well loved and protected while in my care. Our pets are our family, and this is a responsibility I will take incredibly seriously. I look forward to meeting with you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time but would be happy to assist on weekends and occasionally on weekdays if available. I make sure to focus solely on the animals when they are in my care! I make sure to ask you all the questions necessary for me to understand how to properly care for your furry family members! Understanding their routines is also important to ensure the best care!
About: Hi guys, Thanks for checking out my profile! I love furry animals and am excited to meet yours! I recently moved back from Costa Rica where my family and I have rescued many dogs and cats from horrible places and gave them a home that they could enjoy and feel loved. I think they are beautiful creatures that we have been blessed with and it would be my pleasure to meet yours. I aim to make your pet feel at home with me by cuddling, playing and walking. Feel free to message or call and ask any questions. Currently i have as a school bus driver and some time in between. Can't wait to hear from you and hopefully take care of your furry baby! My schedule is quite open due to my job. I'd love to fill in my extra time with some dogs and cats! Plus my kid loves them! When pet sitting, I treat each pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding to playtime, and keep the home clean and secure. Regular updates help build trust and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I grew up in the country caring for all kinds of animals; dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens etc. We raised German Shepherds and a few of their litters. I’ve had animals all my life:) I work 24 hour shifts, 7 days per month. Although I can’t have a dog of my own due to being away for long periods of time I can care for your pet fully on my days off. I have a fully fenced large yard in a family friendly neighbourhood near parks, trails etc. I have two cats and two kids who are pet friendly.
“Katie was very dependable, was on time and is very personable. She was very responsive, sent me updates frequently and my kitty looked very happy and well taken care of. She also did me the favor of taking my bins outside on garbage day and I really appreciated that. My cat was in very good hands and I will not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of friends, coworkers and rover pets over the last few years! I have a two year old beagle pup who has tons of energy and personality. No challenge is to big I currently work full time so they would need to be okay being alone while I’m at work.

I’m able to pop in and give your pets some love/play time/bathroom breaks anytime after 11am! When it comes to my cats i ensure they get lots of play time, love, and plenty of water. 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: I have cared for a range of different animals from reptiles - dogs/cats, some of which were my personal/family pets and for families as well. I absolutely love all animals. I’d love to show some extra love to your pets, get some exercise myself while walking them and have fun playing with them. I’m not sure who would be having more fun haha. I have pet sit for families before which includes all those activities, even following their diets, some of which included a raw food diet. I deal with cleanup effectively, never leaving it behind and cleaning up any “accidents” that may happen indoors to its entirety. I have my own pup, Darth, who is my entire life lol! We have a family dog back home. In all seriousness, I want to love and hangout with your pets!! I currently work from home full time 9-5 but can make visits before and after work and even throughout the day just depending on location from me! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who loves to play with fur-ends! I can keep your dog crated if preferred, or can keep my dog separate from yours if preferred!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Welland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Welland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
