“Such a lovely young lady came to my house to babysit my dog. We are very happy to have met Cassandra and will definitely be inviting her back. Punctual -yes, sent pictures - yes (many great photos), lovely personality-yes! Plus lots of play time outside as the weather allowed. Glad to have found you on Rover.”
“We have never left our 2 boys with anyone before so leaving them for a week vacation next week was going to cause a little anxiety for us. We already felt very comfortable with Lauren after the meet and greet a few weeks ago but having her stay with them for a few hours while we went out yesterday really sealed the deal! Lauren is knowledgeable and confident and really put our minds at ease. The boys took to her right away, chilled on the couch with her, and allowed her to walk them, which I thought might have been an issue with our one timid boy but no...all went extremely well. She sent us text and pics throughout the evening which was great. We have no reservation leaving them in her care for next week's vacation and all our future ones as well. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Holly is an amazing house and pet sitter! She took great care of my cat and sent lots of photos and videos each day. He seemed very happy to be with her and it was like I was never gone when I returned home. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Thank you Aly for your care and interest with our dog. We felt confident leaving him at home and that is the best feeling ever! Aly came for a meet and greet a few days before and we shared pet stories. We will see you again!”
“Zeno hit it off right away with Marie. Loves having Marie here to look after him when we leave the house. Zeno suffers from separation anxiety and had a fabulous time chilling with Marie while we were gone. (and we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone...which was wonderful)”
“Max is a super nice young man who literally walked across our city to be with our dog. Full of enthusiasm, he did not delay in greeting Sully and it felt like the two of them had known each other for years! Thank you Max for your excellent care!”
“We are so glad to have had Andrea looking after Sully. Although it was short notice, she still took time for a meet and greet. That was appreciated. Andrea came on time and had the dog outside right away. Sully had a walk with her and much play time. She is a lovely young lady whom we hope to see again.”
About: Hi !

I will love your furry friends! I also have my Bachelors in Animal Science from the University of Guelph. Animals have been a love of mine for a long time. Therapy & Healing by Reiki Treatment is my latest endeavour, ask me for a booking below! Im available weekends as I work during the week Monday to Friday 7-3pm, if you are in a pinch send me a message maybe we can work something out I have a backyard with grass for bathroom breaks and access to parks nearby for walks.

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".
“Emma was great! Took care of our 2 bulldogs and 2 cats for a week while we were on vacation. Dogs loved her, she sent pictures and kept the house in order. Felt secure and safe with her watching over the house and dogs. This is our 2nd time using her, and she is worth every penny! ❤️ Thanks Emma 🙏🫶 Will definitely use ONLY her every time we have to go away. 💕”
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Chelsea, I am a 32-year-old Law Clerk, looking to make some extra money to save for a house! I am very responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and I absolutely LOVE animals! I have volunteered at the SPCA working with a variety of animals, gaining all the experience that comes along with it. DOGS: I am comfortable with any dog type. Big, small, friendly, shy, energetic, lazy- you name it! I can handle any breed, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I can tire out your energetic pooch, or sit down and relax with your fur baby, and make them feel safe and comfortable. My mother also had her own dog walking business, and I thought that with the experience I gained helping her, I could start to help my local friends in the Niagara Region! CATS: I understand that cats need care tailored to their unique personalities - whether that means quiet companionship, playful interaction, or just sticking to their routines. I'm patient and attentive, making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable in their own space. What sets me apart is my ability to read their body language, respect their boundaries and build trust at their pace, so even shy or independent cats feel cared for. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand their quirks and routines! I do work full-time, so I offer pet care part-time during the evening and weekends. This gives me the perfect balance to dedicate focused, quality time to your pets. I make sure each visit, walk or overnight stay fits smoothly into my routine, so your dog or cat gets reliable, consistent care without me being rushed or distracted. ***If you live close by, I can fit in a lunchtime dog walk/feed between 12-1 or 1-2! *** When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I will follow your routines closely to make sure your dog or cat feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether its walks, feeding or crate time, I’ll provide reliable, loving care while keeping your home secure.
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.
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.
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: Hi, I’m Noah! 🐈🐕 I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 1 (very spoiled) hamster, so I know exactly what it’s like to juggle the needs of a busy, furry household!

About: Have been helping families and friends for long time during their vacation and now rover gives me same chance to extended my support to neighbourhood I am currently working full-time from home but I am also looking for a really fun experience with your pets and taking care of them. don’t see any other work better than this. I have a fenced backyard and a patio where your pet can really enjoy playing and resting in a safe environment providing you peace of mind
About: I have over 4 years of experience caring for pets, including specialized training as a Certified Pet Groomer. This means I am highly skilled in animal handling, hygiene, and identifying early signs of health issues. I was mother of pets, so I understand the specific needs of small, high-maintenance breeds. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or calm, I know how to adapt my care to their personality. As a Master’s student, I spend the majority of my week studying from my home office, which means your pet will have constant companionship and a quiet, focused environment. My typical routine includes: Morning Walks: A long walk before my day starts to ensure your pet is relaxed and happy. Structured Breaks: I provide potty breaks and playtime every 2–4 hours throughout the day. Class Schedule: I have in-person classes on Mondays (11 am–1:30 pm) and Tuesdays (8 am–1 pm). Outside of these short windows, I am fully available for walks, feeding, and enrichment. Evenings & Weekends: My weekends are completely open, allowing for longer outings to local parks or extra grooming time. Because I limit my boarding to only two dogs and one cat, your pet will always be a priority in my daily schedule, never just one of the crowd! I believe a calm environment is the foundation of a happy pet. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is maintaining a high standard of safety and comfort. In My Home: Hazard-Free Zone: As an architect, I’ve designed my apartment to be a secure, open space. I ensure no small objects or dangerous plants are accessible. Hygiene First: With my grooming background, I maintain a very clean environment. I use my in-suite laundry to keep pet bedding fresh and sanitized. Constant Monitoring: Pets are never left unsupervised with others. I use baby gates or crates if a 'quiet break' is needed. In Your Home: Respect & Responsibility: I treat your home with the utmost care. I follow all house rules regarding furniture and restricted areas. Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s existing feeding and walk schedule to minimize any stress while you are away. Security: I am meticulous about locking doors and ensuring your home remains exactly as you left it. The Trust Factor: I am a firm believer in the 'Meet & Greet.' I want to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure we are a perfect match and to discuss any specific medical or behavioral needs.
“We are glad to have had Jess come to be with Sully. She is a warm hearted dog lover with a gentle kindness. Jess did some practical training with Sully and tuckered him out. We appreciated the pictures as well. It was a great experience and we look forward to seeing her again. Thank you!”

Welland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel and Josh were amazing!! Our dog is nervous and reactive and they didn't bat an eye when we discussed this. Both felt comfortable with anxious dogs and I could tell when we all met, that Chico's behaviours were not going to be an issue for Rachel or Josh. When we were away, they sent regular updates with pics and everything went so smoothly. Plus, we come home to a super clean and tidy home! And could tell our animals had been well cared for. Would highly recommend Rachel (and Josh)!!!
We had Marisa come stay with our little 20 year old dog for the weekend and couldn't have been more pleased! Marisa stayed with our girl the ENTIRE time, stayed in touch with lots of updates and pictures which we loved! Our dog absolutely fell in love with her, was so comfortable with Marisa right from the meet and greet and Marisa is so personable, we knew immediately she was the right fit for our girl. We can't wait to have Marisa come stay with our little Lilly again soon!! Thank you so much Marisa!
Chelsea was wonderful. Taz seemed to warm to her quickly. She was well looked after and Chelsea was diligent about updating me with any concerns. The house was left spotless and instructions followed perfectly upon her departure. Would definitely recommend and would love to have her back.
Jessie did a wonderful job pet-sitting our dog and 3 cats for 4 days. She made them feel loved and kept the dog exercised by taking her for walks. She provided updates every day and communication was good. It was comforting to know she was taking such good care of the house and animals.
