About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What really sets me apart is my experience fostering dogs with fear, trauma, or anxiety. I understand how to earn trust slowly and create a calm, predictable environment so nervous pets can relax and feel safe. I’m also comfortable with senior‑dog care—administering medication, keeping routines consistent, and adapting walks or playtime to match their comfort level. Every dog in my care gets patience, structure, and affection. Whether we’re going for a long trail walk, enjoying quiet cuddle time, or working on confidence through gentle interaction, I treat each dog like my own. I work about 35 hours a week, Monday through Friday. I share my home with my own dog and have fostered many others over the years. Our days start around 7:30 a.m. with a few minutes of morning cuddles followed by breakfast. After that, we head out for a 30–60‑minute walk to stretch our legs and enjoy the fresh air. I leave for work around 9:30 a.m. and return by 5 p.m., when we go straight out again—either a long walk, trail hike, or visit to the dog park for about an hour to an hour and a half, weather permitting. Dinner is around 6:30 p.m., followed by some playtime and treats. We sometimes go out again if necessary. Evenings are quiet and cozy: we relax, watch a bit of TV, and snuggle on the couch until bedtime at 10:30 p.m. During weekends I do more and longer walks. I stay home, sewing, reading, cooking. I like to bring dogs with me when I run errands, they often love car rides! I love keeping dogs active and happy! We spend lots of time outside—walking, exploring trails, or playing in the yard. Indoors, I keep things fun with toys, mental games, and plenty of cuddles. My own friendly dog enjoys having company, big or small, so your pup will always have a buddy to play with and relax beside.
“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”
“Deanna was wonderful! Checked in during the requested times, sent photos, and let me know if my lil buddy was eating enough food. Would recommend and work with her again!”
“Was willing to work with my dog that was very nervous and growled (not to say that is a normal thing to accept and work with because most people would turn that down considering he’s a big dog) but she was patient and although she was hesitant giving the circumstances with my dog and me already planning a 3 day trip to see me family I haven’t seen in a while I’d say she was a lifesaver, especially since I never used this app before. I was very nervous but through text messages and pictures, she reassured my confidence.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’, friends’, and even strangers’ pets! I’m very communicative with owners and strive to make sure owners know their fur babies are in trust worthy hands! I work nightshift full time but on my days off I have plenty of time to care for your pets whether that be a drop in, a walk, some play time, an overnight stay, or anything in between! Depending on what your pet needs I am happy to oblige. I’ve worked with pets who free roam in the house or need to be caged!
“Colene did a great job watching and hanging out with my cat! She took great pictures both visits, as well as cleaning up after my cat which was not needed but highly appreciated! I would definitely book her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!!”

I always trust Taylor to take care of my girls while I'm gone, especially since one of them has asthma and is extremely anxious. She has very good availability, responds quickly, and I can tell my cats have been well cared for and loved while I'm gone and are very relaxed when I come home. She has a way with shy cats and somehow manages to get the best photos of my shy, anxious cat for the report cards (better than anything I can get).
Alyssa was amazing! She took such great care of our 3 cats and hamster, doing daily drop-in visits. She was thorough, attentive and kept everything so clean while we were away. We loved seeing her Rover Cards and pictures of what our pets were up to while we were on vacatoon. We would trust her with our pets anytime!
Claire did a wonderful job of taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation! We were impressed with her from the first time we met her, and she definitely lived up to our trust. She communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures, which put our minds at rest. We would never hesitate to rely on Claire again to look after our cats!
Melissa was beyond amazing! She truly cares and is able to interact with animals that results in them feeling comfortable. She went above and beyond by adapting toys, taking care of the litter box every time and providing my cat with treats and plenty of play time every visit. It got to the point where my cat was waiting for her to arrive. Melissa is also just a kind and friendly human as well!
