Pet Sitting Westover

“Very happy! Elizabeth came to meet Jack a week prior. Used for the first time this past weekend and great! Day 2 Elizabeth (who asked first) brought her dog since we have a big yard so the dogs could have a good play. Jack tired out and can’t wait to see Tina and Elizabeth again!”

About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.

About: Hi, I’m Jenn, I live with my better half, Kevin and our two kids. We’re lifelong dog lovers with over 20 years of experience caring for our own pups. We know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog — someone who will treat them like family. That’s exactly the kind of care we offer. You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of, safe, and having a fantastic time! We specialize in small dog sitting in our home in Dundas and offer dog walking for dogs of all sizes. Our cozy detached home is in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood and features a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and relaxing outdoor time. Jenn is available for weekday walks or drop ins, and we offer dog sitting at our home (just check our availability!). When we’re sitting, we only welcome one dog at a time to ensure your pup gets plenty of attention and one-on-one care. We also provide walks every two hours to keep them happy and active. Safety is always our top priority. We always do a meet & greet before every stay to make sure your dog is comfortable with us, our kids, and our home. Our dog Berkley has passed away after a long and happy life, so there are no other dogs in the household currently. Dogs are always leashed on walks outside our fenced yard, and we’ll follow any care instructions you provide — down to the last detail. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to chat! 🦮 New to Rover? Let us know and you can get $20 off your first booking. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Jenn is currently a stay at home mom, with kids in school and has availability from 9am - 3pm and some evenings during the week for dog walking or visits. We’re also available evenings and weekends for dog boarding. Depending on her availability, and your needs we’ll work together to find a suitable time - whether you need to cover off a vacation, or a regular daily walk. We place a strong emphasis on safety for your dog, ensuring that they will be comfortable and well cared or during our walks, visits or boarding. For first time clients, we will arrange a meet and greet so we can meet your dog and get a feel for their personality and comfort level. We also want to make sure your dog is comfortable with our kids. I will provide you with multiple updates and photos through the stay, so that you have peace of mind, your pup is in good hands.

About: Animals have always been one of the greatest loves of my life. They’re family to me, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I have experience with both dogs and cats, with my deepest experience coming from loving and caring for my own two dogs: Rocky, who was by my side for nearly 18 years, and Snoopy, who is nine years old. Caring for them through different stages of life has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how much the little things matter, including familiar routines, gentle reassurance, and noticing when they need extra comfort. I have a special soft spot for senior pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and pace. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet company, or extra cuddles, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. My promise is simple: to care for your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I would want for my own. Caring for pets is already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I plan each booking around the time and attention your pet needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We can discuss your usual routine and confirm availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. Before each booking, I’ll learn about their routine, personality, dietary needs, and anything that helps them feel secure. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and respect your home when caring for them there. You can also expect photos and updates, so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

“Highly recommend Christina! She did an outstanding job taking care of our 2 cats. One of our cats is very shy and quite bonded to me and normally hides when someone visits. Christina gained her trust and she became quite friendly with Christina! Both cats enjoyed Christina's company. Christina was always quick to respond to texts and prompt in sending daily texts including photos of our furry kids.Everything was left neat and tidy and clean. She definitely went way beyond our expectations! Hope to engage her excellent services next time we go on vacation.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young, and friends, family, and clients have trusted me with their pets for years.

I treat every pet as if they’re my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine care I have a very flexible schedule and can make sure to be able to give every pet the time and attention they need. I can check in on break or for scheduled breaks etc. I have a fenced yard and occasionally have my boy Duke with me he is a very kind dog. I go on lots of walks and hikes and will follow any schedule your dog may need. I am familiar with medication schedules and dietary restrictions as well

About: My first pet as a kid was a cat my family rescued. When I was in high school I volunteered for 4 years at the Hamilton SPCA doing dog walks . And cats and small animal socializing. Career wise I worked in the child care field for 10+ years in different roles. In 2024 I changed jobs to house cleaning I also adopted a rescue senior cat that I later found out had diabetes in 2023 ❤️‍🩹 *** recent update . Because my landlady is also boarding dogs . And her place is small she asked that I no longer do it . My work schedule is flexible. But right now because I’m new on rover and things are slow I’m working mon - Fri So will be available for weekends . I can accommodate a week long booking I just need some notice to book the days off at work I care about animals like they are my own . And do my best to make sure they feel safe and loved and give them my time and attention , I do treat my experience as life long learning . I have a good friend who had her own private dog sitting business for over 10 years she did many workshops over the years she’s a wealth of knowledge for me . But I’m trying to catch up and learn about dog training and things like dog cpr online. So I can be the best dog and cat sitter for your beloved.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover who officially traded the corporate world for a career surrounded by dogs. I’ve fostered 8 rescue dogs, have two dogs of my own, and have spent years learning that no two pups are alike (and that treats are a very effective form of diplomacy). I’m a past- humane society volunteer, and have spent many mornings getting to know and walk new dogs. I recently left my corporate job to pursue a dream of working with and caring for dogs. So, I’m looking to fill my days doing what I love most: getting to know more dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs an afternoon walk, a house check-in, some extra company, or an overnight stay, I’d love the chance to spoil them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely excited to spend my days with four-legged clients. Basically, your dog gets a vacation, and I get to call it work! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! With two dogs of my own and years of fostering rescue dogs, I’m very used to building walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine. Since leaving my corporate job, I have even more flexibility to spend my days caring for other dogs- whether that’s walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight stays. I genuinely love having dogs around, so to me, my schedule can happily revolve around my pets’ needs. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for a pet. I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to understand their routines, personality, comfort level, and any specific needs before I care for them. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of space for secured off- leash play. I’m happy to accommodate crate trained dogs and special medical requests, to ensure your pets schedule, routine, and care, match their at- home needs.

“Pruthu was very easy to work with and really understood our situation and what we needed when caring for our dog. Coco can be quite difficult to handle for strangers, but Pruthu put in a lot of effort from the very first session to bond with him and made him comfortable. That gave us a lot of peace of mind and I was able to be worry free for the four days we were away. Really appreciate the care and effort he put in with Coco. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.

About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

About: I’m retired from the Pharmacy industry. (In my past Profession I had federal government clearance) If you have a pet that requires medication I’m the person for you. I have a very flexible schedule and have my own vehicle . I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I’m not able to have pets where I live, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to meet new people. Plus put that missing piece back into my life. I believe pets keep you healthier and happier. They are a part of the family and should be treated with kindness and love. I sit for a couple in Florida that have three cats. They call me the cat whisperer! I have also house and dog sat for my girlfriend for many years. Hope to hear from you soon. Katharine

About: I’m a passionate animal lover. I enjoy walking, hiking, and spending time with dogs of all sizes.

Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I'd be excited to welcome pet sitting and dog walking into my weekly routine and provide other pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I'd want for my own. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I prioritize their safety, comfort, exercise, and well-being while following the owner’s instructions closely.

About: I grew up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I currently have my own 8-month-old pup, which means I’m actively navigating puppy energy, training, and socialization firsthand. I understand how much attention and patience young pets need, and I bring that same care to every animal I look after. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my schedule. I keep a consistent daily routine, so your pet would fit right in. I’m flexible and available for check-ins, walks, or boarding, since I’m rarely away from home for long stretches. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space, and I pay close attention to introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have.

“Kaeley is awesome. I received lots of images and updates. Great communication!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I started going door to door in my neighbourhood offering dog walking when I was around 7 years old, and I’ve always loved spending time with animals. I’ve had many different dogs over the years, including a Yorkie Shih Tzu, Vizsla, Border Collie, Chocolate Lab, Pitbull Lab mix, Golden Retriever, and a mixed breed, so I’ve gotten to experience lots of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve spent lots of time training my own dogs, practicing tricks, leash manners, recall, and basic commands. I’ve also helped with grooming, brushing, bathing, nail care, and just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, I was always the person my neighbours trusted to watch their dogs while they were away. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. My schedule is pretty much always open. I’m free mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need someone last minute, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with your dog while you’re gone, I’m happy to help. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I know they’re family. I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and of course treats (if allowed 😊). If I’m in your home, I’ll always clean up after myself and leave it cleaner than when I got there. I live on an acreage with a big fenced yard, so there’s lots of room to run and play. I also have a long leash outside for dogs that like a little more freedom but still need to stay on a leash. I have two dogs of my own—Pepper (3) and Jaxson (11). They’re both super sweet, but if your dog isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally okay. Mine can stay downstairs while your pup has the upstairs all to themselves. My house is non-smoking, and I have extra toys, bowls, and lots of dr treats. I honestly just love dogs and would love to hang out with yours. :)

About: I have been taking care and training dogs since i was 4. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from the moment they are born through to seniors. I have also trained dogs from 5 weeks old through to older dogs. I do not believe in the term you can not teach an old dog new tricks, i just believe it is more difficult to do so. I have worked with dogs that have issues from medical to behavioral and love a challenge. I am currently in college for dog training. I have a very open schedule. I own my own company and am able to make my own work schedule. I do have animals of my own so i cannot stay in a house over night but am able to do check-ins. I do have 5 dogs and 2 cats (who think they are dogs). I treat all animals as they were mine and love them all the same.

“Emma was great! She was available with very short notice and communicated throughout. I was in a bind and she saved the day. Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”
