“Tracie was amazing! We had such an awesome experience with her. We were away for almost a week and she took care of our two cats with love and consideration, always sent pictures, did everything I asked and went extra mile. Communication with Tracie is so easy and pleasant. One of the best things: we came back to even cleaner house than when we left. I will definitely ask Tracie for help next time I’m away.”
About: Hi! My name is Melanie. I'm 30, originally from Ontario, and I've been pet and house sitting across North America and New Zealand for years. Right now I'm living on the road, which means I miss two main things: having animals around and having a home base to care for. If you need someone trustworthy to live in your space and treat your animals like family while you're away, that's where I come in. I handle both full house sitting and daily pet care. I'm high energy, patient and used to keeping up with whatever your routine looks like. Whether that means long daily hikes for active dogs or quiet low key routines for senior pets, I adapt to what they need. I'm also meticulous about keeping spaces clean, secure and well taken care of so you can actually enjoy your time off. I'm gentle, straightforward and genuinely love what I do. Let's chat if you're interested in having a responsible human who will keep your house and pets happy! I am using the late fall season to get settled into the area, manage logistics for my chapter, and keep busy while staying warm and active. Available for daily dog walking, quick weekend sits, or longer-term winter house sits. Send me a message and let me know what you are looking for! Because I am currently transitioning between seasonal outdoor contracts and managing life on the road, my schedule is exceptionally open and flexible. As an experienced youth worker and outdoor instructors, routine, accountability, and time management are second nature to me. I build my days entirely around your pets' established feeding, walking, and medication schedules, ensuring they receive consistent attention, plenty of outdoor activity, and constant companionship throughout the day. Safety and care are our top priorities. As a professional outdoor educator, risk management and proactive communication are part of our core training. I treat every home with deep respect, keeping spaces exceptionally clean, secure, and well-maintained. When caring for pets, I closely follow your exact instructions, maintain familiar routines, keep dogs safely leashed during outings, and send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
“Pongo was so happy with his care, Anandakrishnan and his partner are great with him and took him out for good walks and sent pictures and videos. They were very attentive to his schedule and needs as he is still recovering from neuter. I will trust care of Pongo to Anandakrishnan again!”
About: Hey, I'm Reanna - I love animals and I'll always put them first! I've been house-sitting for years across many different living situations - from apartments to farms and off-grid cabins - and have worked with sled dogs, high energy, senior and anxious animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions :) I currently live in a dry cabin in the Ibex Valley and generally work weekdays 8 am - 4:30 pm. Most of my availability is evenings and weekends. My schedule is often changing so don't be afraid to reach out and we'll see if we can work something out that meets you and your pets' needs :) I'm good at following care instructions and I can accomodate different energy requirements, I have experience with anxious and senior dogs as well. I'm happy to send you updates or pictures of your pet if you like.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehorse
It was great after two weeks to come home to my cat, Taina, in good spirits and good health. The twice daily comments and photos were reassuring to receive, and I was confident that Christina would give Taina all the attention she could (with Taina's permission, of course!) to make her two weeks as good as possible.
We’re so grateful for the care and attention Finn gave our cat while we were away. They were responsive, attentive, and thoughtful throughout. They went above and beyond to make sure our cat was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated how dependable and caring they were, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet! 🐾❤️
