Dog Sitting Windsor

“Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.”

About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my whole life. My first job was a dog walking service around my neighborhood growing up! My boyfriend and I have attended many dog training seminars when he was looking into getting a puppy, and I learned lots from them! I currently work part-time, only about 3-4 times a week for a maximum of 5-6 hours at a time. The shifts vary throughout the week, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I have a backyard with grass. I have 2 small cats who are very dog friendly, and have lived with a dog in the past for 2 years! If your fur baby isn’t much of a cat person, my cats have a very large basement which is basically their home anyways, and would have no problem staying down there while I care for your baby for a little bit:)

About: Current foster parent and dog parent. Currently have an opening for a small to medium dog to add to our little group. Looking forward to hearing about you! Every day revolves around the dogs. Looking forward to finding new dog friends and excited to help cover your last minute trip dog sitting needs. Our house is built specifically for the dogs. Easy clean laminate and tile, tall wood fences, lots of toys and comfy furniture. Its a great place for your fur baby to hang out.

“Kaylee was a great help to us while we were gone for 3 weeks on a trip abroad. We had her come by in the mornings to take care of our dog Robin who is a shy 60 pounds German Shepherd mix. She sent me daily updates and photos and even went so far as cleaning our cat litter and bathing Robin (no easy feat) without being asked to! When I returned home everything was clean and in order and the pets were happy and taken care of. I was really satisfied with her services!”

“Hannah was awesome with our pets and with communication. She took great care of our pets and sent appreciated pictures. I will definitely request her again when needed! Such a relief to have her while we were away.”

About: I am a total animal lover and will give your dog the best care I can provide! I am a university student who is home most of the day for most of the week and would love a chance to take a study break and get up and walk or play with your dog! I have pet sit for large, medium, and small dogs as well as cats and kittens and always love every minute of it. I've got a fairly large fenced in yard where your dog can enjoy the outside and run around and play, I think animals are the best way to add a little joy in your life and I would love the chance to give some love to as many animals as I can.

About: Hello 👋 there! My name is Michelle. I am NEW to professional housesitting for furry loved ones(July 2026). I will be serving Windsor-Essex County, including Lakeshore (Belle River), Ontario—and beyond! Thank you so much for looking at my profile. Reach out when you are ready! ~ Michelle 🧡 🧡 WHY I CHOSE ROVER I first learned more about Rover through PetWatch, which gave me a Rover coupon when I rescued my coonhound Hunny + registered her microchip with Petwatch. I had heard Rover being recommended within the pet-care community, including by veterinarians. Then I heard from my dear friend, Jacquie in St. Catherine's who started her platform on Rover + is happily busy. I looked into the app + value the service fees I will be sharing with Rover because they will support the platform that connects us, provide ease of booking + payment tools, + Rover offers protections + safeguards for pet parents, pets + sitters alike. After devoting so much of my life to my 30- yr nursing career, my marriage + raising my children, I am finally learning how important it is to follow MY own dreams, hobbies + passions too. Self-care, time in nature + new adventures have become especially meaningful during this stage of empty-nesting. 🏡 HOUSE SITTING +BEYOND CARING FOR YOUR FURRY PET(S). And so begins my new adventure: caring for pets, AND homes + gardens— While you are away, I can provide a wider range of services tailored to YOUR needs—which happens to fulfill mine too. It truly is a win-win! I am discovering a whole new passion for organizing my friends’ + family’s homes, loving up their pets, and caring for their lawn + gardens. Who knew?! My soul knew. The universe ✨ knew. I just needed to listen. 🐾 MY LIFE WITH ANIMALS I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs + cats and have always enjoyed sharing my life with animals of different breeds, sizes, ages + unique personalities. I currently have a very gentle mama: my 5-year-old, 59-lb Black + Tan Coonhound named Hunny. She loves van rides, camping, kayaking, beaches, conservation areas, trails + neighbourhood walks with me. There is no furry friend or human she meets who doesn’t love her and vice versa. I raised two Rhodesian Ridgebacks from puppies. Major lived to 11½ + LOVED flyball, so I still love playing fetch with dogs who enjoy retrieving. Maggie lived to 13 + ran beside me when running was my passion. Nowadays, I prefer to slow down. I love walking through neighbourhoods with big shade trees rustling, admiring flowerbeds with monarchs + bumblebees, listening to the birds singing songs ( especially Cardinals). Giving dogs sniffing time is so important for their mental well-being, just like us! After my two Ridgebacks, I fell in love with RESCUING Coonhounds. Beau Beauregard, Zellie Zoo Zoo + Belvey Belvedere have all crossed the beautiful Rainbow Bridge to be with my son, Mark—Forever 16; 2017. 🌈 Every one of these losses has taught me more lessons about love, patience + giving of SELF through the privilege of caring for another living being. As an RN of over 30 years, mum to my children and pets, I do not take special needs lightly. I am calm, patient, observant + affectionate, and I am very comfortable following detailed routines, medication instructions, including oral medications + giving injections. I know how important routine toileting is + attentive personal care. If a pet wears briefs, I am a bit obsessed about keeping them clean, dry + comfortable while protecting their dignity because of my years of caring for our sweet boy Belvey Belvedere. I can handle doggies who need an increase in FREQUENCY of visits (like every 2 hours) for more frequent attention, potty opportunities + brief changes. My nursing experience has also taught me to pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, special diets, mobility + overall well-being. Before long, I develop a deep bond with my furry friends—and I miss them when our time together ends. If you need me to stay in your home, I am more than happy to watch over your pets, home, mail, garbage/recycling, indoor plants, lawn + gardens. (Let me hear about any other agreed-upon household needs want to have done). I love playing in gardens, + I am also great at helping make a garden vision come to life. I love creating a surprise for someone to come home to. It is one of my love languages! Nothing makes my heart smile more than hearing that the result surpassed what someone had envisioned. 🌻 I have also recently discovered how much joy I get from organizing! Yes! I love to be distracted by organizing basements & closets + kitchens. It actually makes me feel needed. I know how busy + stressful life is + things just pile up. If you would like additional organizing or garden projects completed while you are away, we can discuss those separately ahead of time so we are both clear about the project + expectations. Your home will be treated with respect. My goal is for you to return to a home that feels peaceful, welcoming and fresh. 🏡 HOUSE SITTING & 🐾 30 or 60 min WALKS AND quick economical DROP-INS too! I have a very flexible schedule right now as I am trying to build up my clientelle on ROVER. I am available for pet care overnight at your home, throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. Just try to give me a heads up when you think you will need me for your vacations, or work schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you + your furry pet. I am devoted to my best friend 🧡 hound dog, Hunny every day of course but I am opening my heart up to helping other furry pet owners who need me. I can provide every 2 hour frequency (if needed) potty breaks, walks, companionship + stay overnight at your place so you can rest assured that your pet(s) are safely waiting for you at home when you return. My flexible availability this summer allows me to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. I am excited to meet your family soon. I journal every day, + I take photos everywhere I go. I love capturing the little moments that remind us to be present: a happy dog sniffing something fascinating, a cat curled up in a favourite patch of sunlight, a peaceful walk, or a funny expression that tells an entire story. You will receive photos + updates while you are away, + you and I may end up with a few favourite memories to keep for years to come. 🧡 MY PROMISE TO YOU My focus is on reliability, trust and peace of mind. I will provide dependable care + treat your dog, cat and home with the same respect + attention I want for my own. I am excited to build a clientele of new furry friends—+ perhaps some new human friends too. 🧡 I want to make your time away from home as comfortable and stress-free as possible, while making sure your pet(s) feels safe, loved + genuinely cared for. Your pet’s happiness is mine too! I follow each pet’s normal routine and your instructions carefully so they feel safe + comfortable in their own home. I am attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding schedules + medications, + I do not leave a pet unsecured, off- leash unless it is in your own backyard, of course. Your home will be treated with respect. My goal is for you to return to a home that feels peaceful, welcoming and cared for.

About: I am very determined to make your pet comfortable around me. I have different experience with animal care like bathing and working in pet stores. I have my own pets I take care of. I do it daily and love every second of it. It’s best knowing animals are loved and well taken care of. I make sure the environment is clean. I have a daily routine and time of feeding. I want to make the entire experience safe and enjoyable for the pets and myself.

“Thanks Karen!!! This was our first time and it worked out perfectly!!! Buddy was a happy pup!!! Loved getting the pics and updates from your visits!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets for my family and friends. Why not spread the care! I am very caring and reliable and I assure you I will take great care of your animals. I am currently a PSW and I do home care which makes my schedule very flexible. This will allow me to check in on your pet during the day and cater to their needs in mine or your home. My home is great for pets and they will have lots of room to play and relax. I do not have a fenced backyard but your fur baby will still gets lots of fresh air and walks on a leash! A park and track are near by with lots of exploring areas.

About: I have a literal lifetime of experience with dogs. From the moment I was born to now, I've never gone more than a few months without at least one dog in my life. Most have been rescues, so I know how to deal with shy or sensitive dogs. I've even had experience taking care of dogs with special needs and handicaps, as well as seniors. Without any major obligations at the moment, I'm free to focus on taking care of your pet to the best of my ability. I'm already the primary caregiver for my own two dogs, so it's something I'm going to be doing anyway. I take the safety of animals extremely seriously. I will always seek to learn about a prospective client's specific needs and limitations. I am very protective of my own dogs- possibly to the point of excess in some cases- and you can be sure that I will extend that to any dogs in my care, regardless of duration.

“Melissa was amazing! I had my usual person who checks in on my cats when I’m away cancel last minute. I discovered Rover and nervously gave it a shot. Melissa answered my inquiry quickly and answered my questions and arranged to come meet Bruce & Giggs before I left. Upon meeting her, she was lovely and made me feel more comfortable in leaving my guys in her hands. She was very accommodating and kept me up to date when she would pop in. The pictures were nice to see in her updates. Especially the one where she won Bruce over and he snuggled with her 😊 I trust an animal’s instincts about a person every time 😊 I would definitely use her services again.”
