“Sam, thank you so much for your extraordinary care of my foster kittens while I was away! Fellow Rovers, Sam is the one you want to watch your babies. Fabulous communication, follows instructions perfectly, trustworthy, and has an innate knowledge and love of animal care. She was prompt in visits and didn’t miss a beat. My furries were clearly well-cared for when I returned. Five stars and more.♥️”


“Savannah was incredible! I was able to see all the updates and love shown throughout the pictures she took every day. She was even amazing to help clean my cats’ items (and them!) which was beyond what I could’ve asked for.”


“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”


“Malia was amazing, I had my cat sitter drop out last minute while i was in another state and Malia made it so smooth and stress free. She sent me the cutest pictures and communicated with me! She took care of everything! ✨😌”


“Sarah was so incredible with our dog Max! She was so thoughtful and thorough with all of her questions and considerations before taking care of him and gave us great daily updates and photos. We loved how flexible, friendly, and easy to work with Sarah was with Max’s care and felt so comfortable and confident leaving our baby in her care!”

“Meagan took great care of our cats while we were out on holiday, and went above and beyond when they left a few messes. Sorry about that - and thank you for making sure they were ok!”


About: I learned dog/cat care from my grandmother. She taught me her special side of respecting and caring the animals no matter what kind. I have had a dog for 14 years of my life, his name was Panda. I am very excited to board dogs in my home and give them a healthy and playful environment. I am also excited to take them on long walks. I volunteered at Aurora Animal Shelter for 2 years and learnt to give behavioural training for kittens/cats. I fostered more than 6 cats apart from my own 2 cats for the past 1 year. I currently work 3 days a week from office, and my husband works remote. He is an animal lover too and loves to spend time with my cats at home. I spend time with my cats early morning and late night when they are fully active and excited to play. I take them on a walk (on leash) once a week. They enjoy some time out of home. I would like to give your pet any special attention that is needed. I will accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.

About: Animals well being is one of my biggest passions and joy! I know what it's like to find loving care for my dogs and cats when I go away, and how scary that can feel. Rest assured that you will find at my house a safe, warm and loving environment with a care giver of over 40 years. I care for dogs of all sizes and have cared for many cats. Your animals are free to explore my house, my fenced in back yard and rest comfy on couch. I live across the street from a park for frequent walks. When you are away, you will be updated throughout the day with notes, stories and photos, and you are always welcome to call any time during your time away. I will follow your instructions as each animal is unique and needs special attention. A little about me: I am a retired preschool special needs teacher. I still teach children's choir, music and arts part time. I walk and care for dogs and cats, and I love baking. My family: I have two dogs (Sophi and Winnie) both under 11 lbs. who are very gentle, peaceful, and welcoming to our boarders. I also have two cats who are secluded during boarding, unless your dogs are great with cats. Sophi is older and keeps mostly to herself, and Winnie is playful. I also have two roommates who cannot move in if they are not animal lovers and understand the rules to keep them all safe. About my place: I have a high fenced yard for outside time, with a doggie door so they can come in at their pleasure. I also live accross the street from Matin Park for frequent walks. I feed your animals on your schedue privately, and water is always available. I would love to set up a meet and greet with you if you are interested. This is important whenever possible to make sure the animals are ok with each other and that you feel at ease before the day of drop off. Please contact me if you have any questions. I am at home most of the day every day. I am never away more than a couple of hours to run to the store,or to teach my choir. You will know the schedule when we talk. I will care for your pet as you direct, giving love, attention, play time, walks and a peaceful place to sleep. If I go to your house for drop in, I will follow your instructions.

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve pet sat for both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m confident handling everything from high-energy play sessions to gentle care for older pets with mobility or medical needs. I’m experienced with basic training, administering medications, and creating a calm, safe environment for anxious or shy pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals—I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while I work full time from 9am to 5:30pm. I’m able to start early in the mornings before my shift to feed, walk, and spend quality time with pets. I also offer care at my home, providing a calm and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I’m off on weekends and have full availability then, making it easy to give pets extra attention and care. Even on busy days, I prioritize breaks to check in, offer water, and give affection. My flexible schedule and commitment ensure that every pet’s needs are met with love and consistency. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure all environments are clean, secure, and pet-friendly—removing any hazards and providing cozy spaces for rest and play. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, to keep them happy and healthy. I build trust by spending quality time, offering gentle reassurance, and closely monitoring their behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. Communication with pet owners is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available for questions or concerns.

About: Since I was 5 years old, being a dog owner instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and ignited my passion for animals. I pursued certification as a vet assistant and have gained valuable experience working in clinics that will allow me to take care of your pets as if they were my own! :) I’m currently working working full time so I am available Monday-Friday after 4pm and weekends all day. If your pets are on any medication or have any special needs, I have extensive knowledge due to being a certified vet assistant. As a dog sitter, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for the dog in their own home. This includes maintaining their regular feeding schedule and ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. I make sure to follow any specific dietary requirements or restrictions provided by the owner. Daily walks and playtime are essential for their physical and mental stimulation, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I am diligent about administering any necessary medications or treatments as instructed. Beyond physical care, I provide companionship and affection, reassuring the dog in the absence of their owner. Regular updates and communication with the owner keep them informed and reassured that their beloved pet is well-cared for and happy in their familiar surroundings.

About: I have more than five years of experience caring for dogs, including taking care of my friends' dogs when they travel. I am skilled in providing proper feeding and ensuring the dogs get their necessary potty breaks. Being a current student with an online part-time job provides me with plenty of available time to care for your beloved pup. Additionally, I'm available to look after your pup on weekends. My home features a large, fenced yard that enables your pup to stay active and play freely. Additionally, I have a Corgi who can provide companionship for your fur baby. If necessary, I can easily provide a crate for your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. I have experience with many different types of personalities and behaviors, ensuring that I know how to handle almost any situation. I’m currently in school but I do enjoy spending time with animals any chance I get. I’m available on weekends and the evenings throughout the week. I have two dogs, I make sure to take them out for walks multiple times a week. When we aren’t able to go out I like to play with them in my backyard and sometime in the house. Every once in a while I spend the week teaching them a new trick to keep them active and engaged.

“Stephen has been an amazing help for us and our cat babies. Very reliable, respectful of me and my home. I definitely recommend him for your fur babies. He is very easy to connect with and reach out to while away.”

Juliette M.

“Juliette is a rare individual who connects with pets and people alike. I have found her to be knowledgeable, compassionate, and understanding of the unique needs of my Springer Spaniel Marley. She loves her 4 legged pets and cares for them in a professional and kind manner. When it came to trustworthy pet care, leaving our sweet Marley with Juliette was the best decision we could have made. She offers a safe haven where your pet can play and feel the warmth of a caring home. Once my husband and I arrived at her home, Marley settled in immediately, at that point I knew she was in kind, caring and capable hands. When we picked up Marley she was sad to leave. I could not have made my once in lifetime trip to Thailand without Juliette! Highly recommended!!”

Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight stay, she goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. You can trust her to follow instructions, give regular updates, and genuinely bond with your furry friend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver!”
