“Aileen was amazing with watching my cat over the holidays! Very easy communication and felt super comfortable having her take care of my cat and check on her. Would highly recommend!”

About: Growing up, my family always had Cats and dogs. Today I am mom three cats. I am very comfortable taking care of cats and dogs in line with the client's preferences and needs. The safety and comfort of the fur pets will always be my utmost priority. I have some available times in my schedule where I can walk and play with the animals in the morning, afternoon and evening. I will love spending time with your pet. I prefer to take care of the animal in the environment where it is already familiar, this way the animal does not feel the absence of its human so much, avoiding stress or anxiety. When I walk your animal, pay attention to how it likes the walks and where it feels happiest and most peaceful.

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience raising my Corgi from just 6 weeks old. I’ve taken care of everything from daily walks, hair brushing, showers, nail trimming, and ear/eye cleaning to keeping him healthy and happy. I also cared for a Golden Retriever for 6 months, providing regular walks, bathing, and gentle treatment for an injured tail until full recovery. My experience with both small and large breeds has taught me to be patient, kind, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I bring positive energy and genuine care to every pet I meet. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide house sitting and be present with your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows me to fit in regular walks, playtime, and care without rushing.

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have attended both beginner and intermediate dog training sessions. I’m a responsible and careful person, and I’m great at observing dogs’ behavior so I can understand their needs and moods. I have a friendly medium-sized dog (12 kg, 4 years), so if your dog is comfortable with other dogs, they’ll enjoy lots of playtime and companionship with us in a safe, loving environment.

About: I have spent the last 2 years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbours, including walks, feeding, medication reminders and overnight stays. I work from home as a content creator, so my schedule is flexible and your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm usually home throughout the day. I keep a calm, clean and safe home [with no other pets], so your pet gets my full attention. Before every stay, I go over your pet's routine, food, meds and any quirks so nothing changes for them. Doors and gates stay closed, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and walks are always on leash. I send photo updates daily so you know exactly how they're doing.
About: I grew up with three toy poodles and now live with two lovely adopted cats. To me, pets are family. I’m patient, caring, and always ready to keep your furry friend company while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own — with love and respect. I have plenty of time to care for pets after work every day. At home, I feed my cats every evening, so I’m already used to a consistent routine. I can visit your pet after work — not just for feeding, but also to spend time playing with them if needed. I’m happy to record the whole process so you can feel completely at ease. I'll feed I will feed your pets on time and clean the litter box as needed. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and provide both photos and videos during each visit, so you’ll know your pets are well cared for.
About: I've never met an animal I didn't love! They're my entire life and source of joy. I've had dogs for the last 30 years, a cat for 8, and hamsters before then (so I'll watch your small pets, too!). My most recent dog was special needs, so I'm skilled with giving medications and making accommodations to keep an animal happy and comfortable. Both of my previous dogs lived to be 15, so I'm experienced with caring for seniors and giving them all the extra love and support they need in their old age. In addition to my personal pets, I've volunteered in wildlife rescue, where I cared for orphaned baby squirrels and injured rabbits, turtles, birds, and opossums. My favourite thing is petting and playing with a furry friend. I can't wait to meet yours, fall in love, and give them the same level of care you would. I'm a freelancer who works from home, so your pet will never be lonely while you're away. I'm available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks every day in the afternoons and evenings. Every pet is different. I work with you to understand your dog's unique needs and desires. Basically, I stick to their existing routine and support their usual habits, so they feel safe and secure. For walks, your dog will always be on a leash to ensure their safety unless they are at a fenced dog park (and only if you and your doggy are comfortable with it). I believe that keeping your pet safe means open lines of communication. You'll get regular updates and photos. If any problem should occur, I'll let you know right away.
About: I love dogs and cats, and I enjoy spending time with them. I am a volunteer at a cat shelter in my hometown. We don't have a pet at the moment, but we are saving money so that one day our dream of having a pet can come true. I am currently working as Partime, so I have time to take care of your furry friend :) please rest assured your pet staying. I will send you tons of picture of your furry friend staying. I don't have a yard, but I'll happily take your furry friend on a walkathon, rain or shine! We'll strut our stuff two to three times a day, making the neighborhood jealous of our pawsome adventures. And hey, if you've got a cat, I'll be the litter box whisperer, cleaning it out like a feline sanitation guru, two to three times a day. Your pet's kingdom will be fit for a purr-fect royalty!
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for several dogs over the years, and it's taught me that no two dogs are alike — each one has their own personality and needs their own kind of care and attention. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, whether it's dogs, cats, fish, or anything in between. That lifelong love for animals is exactly why I take pet sitting seriously — I treat every dog like they're my own. My weekdays are committed to work, but I'm free every evening after 6 PM for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Weekends are when I really shine as a sitter — I'm available for boarding and can dedicate uninterrupted time to keeping a dog happy, active, and well cared for. I make it a priority to follow a client's instructions exactly — feeding times, walking routines, medications, and the little things like a favorite blanket or toy. In my own home, I create a calm, secure space where pets can relax and settle in naturally. My focus is always on keeping their routine familiar and their environment stress-free.
“Yi-Chen helped take care of my cat for three days and did a great job looking after her! She took so many photos during each visit and always made sure to let me know when she arrived and when she left and locked the door. My cat looked like she really enjoyed the experience!”

About: I’ve always felt comfortable around cats and enjoy giving them calm, gentle care. I know that many cats need patience, routine, and a quiet approach to feel safe. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and keeping cats company while their owners are away. I’m attentive, responsible, and careful about following each owner’s instructions so their pet stays comfortable and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for drop-in visits and caring for cats throughout the week. I can follow your cat’s routine for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and close attention to their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, water, litter box care, and the space around the cat are kept clean and comfortable. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, follow instructions carefully, and do my best to create a calm, safe environment.

About: I’ve built my pet care experience around treating each dog like they’re my own, with a strong focus on safety, routine, and calm, positive interactions. I take time before each booking to learn your dog’s schedule, preferences, and any special needs, so their day feels familiar even when you’re away. I have hands-on experience with: • High‑energy dogs who need structured walks and playtime • Puppies who are still learning basic manners and crate routines • Senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra bathroom breaks, and gentle handling • Shy or anxious dogs who benefit from patience, consistency, and a quiet approach What sets me apart from many sitters is my reliability and communication style. I follow your instructions closely, keep to your dog’s routine as much as possible, and send regular updates with photos and clear notes about how each visit or walk went. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, not just that a visit happened. I’m also very detail‑oriented: I pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy levels and will flag anything out of the ordinary right away. I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, basic reinforcement of your training (like sit, stay, place, or leash manners), and simple medication routines as instructed. Above all, I understand that I’m not just caring for a pet—I’m taking care of a family member. My goal is for you to come home to a dog who is relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for, so booking with me feels easy and stress‑free every time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so your dog is never an afterthought in a busy day. I’m able to give 100% attention to the dogs in my care, rather than squeezing visits around a traditional work schedule. A typical day includes: • Morning potty break, breakfast, and a walk to start the day calmly and on schedule. • Midday playtime, enrichment (toys, basic training practice, or snuggles), and another potty break. • Afternoon walk or backyard time, depending on your dog’s energy level and needs. • Evening wind‑down with feeding, quiet time, and one last bathroom break before bed. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, offer more frequent bathroom breaks, and keep an eye on their behaviour and comfort level. This constant presence is especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or anxious dogs who do best with consistent company and supervision. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on making it feel like a calm “second home” rather than a busy boarding environment. Dogs stay in a quiet, supervised space where I can give them one‑on‑one attention, stick to their usual feeding and walk schedule, and provide plenty of playtime and rest without the stress of lots of unfamiliar animals around them. Because I work from home, I’m able to monitor them closely throughout the day and respond quickly to any needs, from extra potty breaks to a little reassurance if they’re missing you. When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar and consistent as possible. Most pets are more relaxed in their own environment, with their normal bed, smells, and routine, so I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I also take care of small home tasks as requested (like bringing in mail or adjusting lights), so it looks lived‑in and you can return to a settled, happy pet and a home that’s been respected. In both cases, my goal is the same: low stress, consistent routines, and attentive, individualized care. The main difference is whether I’m recreating “home” at my place or preserving it in yours, and I’m comfortable doing whichever option works best for your dog’s personality and your travel plans.

About: I grew up in a household where pets were always welcome. My parents loved animals, so if they spotted any stray animals, they made every effort to take care of them and find them a loving forever home. I have experience in pet sitting and dog walking, from small dogs to large ones. Currently, I have a cat named Butter. I’ve had him for about three to four years now. When I first got him, he was sick, so I’m well-versed in administering various medications to cats. I am currently free most of the time. So I can take care of your pets full time ! Anytime and however long they need me :) Most importantly, I always make sure to be cautious when opening and closing any type of door, including windows, to prevent your pets from getting lost outside.

About: I’ve been around pets for years, and caring for them has always felt very natural to me. I currently have two cats of my own, and I also regularly help take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re away. I’ve cared for senior pets as well, so I understand that some animals need a little more patience, attention, and a slower pace. Every pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes them feel comfortable. Some want lots of playtime and attention, while others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to follow their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, or anything else they need. Animals usually warm up to me pretty quickly, and I think it’s because I give them the space and attention they need without forcing anything.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willowdale
Nicole did a home visit with our dog today. She was so kind and attentive, learned and played all his favourite games and before this did a lovely meet and greet where she asked thoughtful and detailed questions to learn more about our dog Remy and his needs. We appreciated her transparency, her attention to detail and her excellent communication skills. She sent us updates and pictures and we have our next house sitting with Nicole booked already.

Frederica dropped in on Berlin and took him for a walk, and provided lots of cute photos and updates as she arrived, fed him, and left. I was stress-free leaving my big dog with her because she was kind enough to pop by for a meet and greet the day before, even though the booking was last minute. Berlin had the best time and will see you again soon!

Terrence was great! He came to my house twice a day for five days to walk and care for my dog while I was away. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog was clearly very happy and well cared for—and when I got back, I could see how excited he was to see Terrence again. I would definitely book him again.

Arya took such great care of my puppy and kept me updated the entire time. She was gentle, patient, and very attentive. My puppy felt comfortable with her. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos — it gave me so much peace of mind. Truly dependable, and I’m very pleased with her service.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
