“We hired Julia to make drop-in visits to our 2 cats while we were away for 12 days. The cats are 18 years old, with significant health issues that require quite a few meds. Julia was WONDERFUL. And the cats -- who usually take quite a while to warm up to new people -- took to her right away. Julia kept us apprised of what was happening on the home front, and kept her sense of humor, too. I have complete trust in her, and would definitely hire her again.”


“Juliana was great! Sje was prompt, communicative and kind. Our dog, River, immediately trusted her and demanded pets/treats so we felt more than OK leaving her with Juliana.”


“Meredith took such amazing care of my cat and home while I was away! I have an older, anxious cat that takes a while to warm up to new people, but she was so patient with her and provided daily updates that gave me comfort while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend her and will be working with her again :)”



“I was very happy with Kasey's dedication. You can tell that she puts in a thorough effort and commitment to my pet and would strongly recommend using her services to anyone!”


“Maria was wonderful! She looked after our diabetic cat while we were out of town and helped with both feeding and insulin shots. She was very communicative and we’ll definitely be working with her again!”

“Giovanni was very responsive, helpful, professional and punctual. It was the first time my cat Funes stayed on his own, and he feed him and played with him and send me pics of my cat. I would definitely recommend Giovanni and will hope to use his services again.”


About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I learned at a young age that pets bring me the biggest joy. Whether it’s feeding, playing, bathing, or just hanging out seems like the perfect time for me. I currently have an open schedule and am open for any opportunity that comes! What a better way to spend most of me free time getting to know your furry friend! I live in a 1 bedroom and have two very friendly and sassy cats. My apartment has two floor to ceiling windows that face a huge tree with plenty of birds stoping by that my cats love and am sure yours will too. My partner and I live a very minimal lifestyle and prioritize our cats to have the most of the space; cats shelf’s, hammocks and plenty of good hiding spots.

“Chloe is an amazing sitter. They are very communicative which helped calm our nerves as it was the first time leaving our pup. Highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies.”


“Linnea is so consistent and communicative! She got the best pictures of my lil kit and I can tell he really liked her (he’s a tough critic!) as he was rubbing against & hanging out with her. Thank you for caring for my boy!”



“Joy was truly a JOY to work with. She came to our apt to care for our cat as we were away for the weekend. She arrived on time, sent photos and videos, and gave our baby lots of love and attention. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”


“Kara provided our cat with excellent care while we were away. Dusty requires injections twice daily and Kara followed his required feeding and medicine schedule with no problem. She provided pictures and detailed recaps from each check in. We felt super comfortable and at ease knowing he was in such good hands, it all felt very natural and we’d be lucky to have Kara back for any future care!”


“Marie was amazing! Super communicative and really good with handling medication for my two cats. She was very thoughtful and considerate of their needs and making sure that the right cats got the right medications at the right time - even when they weren’t interested in taking them. Highly recommend working with her!”


“Rachel was dependable and did a great job with dropping in for our cat. She was able to connect with and pet our very shy cat which was wonderful. We will have her come back in the future.”


“As always, Kendall (Erin) is very patient, kind and generous with her care. She understands our senior cats needs and quirks without faults. She communicates her concerns and always offers solutions. When Kendall is our sitter, I never ever have a concern. I’ve worked with her for years!”



“Jackie was super flexible with the drop-in arrangement. I was SO pleased by her thoughtfulness and care towards Eleanor. We will definitely be using her services again!”


“Jay was a great pet sitter for my cat! This was my first time using rover and jay was super communicative and helpful when it came to watching my pet. I would definitely recommend utilizing Jay’s services in the future.”


“Alexandria was amazing with my cat, Annie. Annie has to take medicine twice a day and I felt so comfortable and relieved knowing she was there. I’d highly recommend”


“Emily is so great! This was our third time having her sit for our two kitties. She is very responsive and patient with both of our cats, especially our little shy one. We would definitely book her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”


About: I grew up with medium sized dogs (German Shepherds) and have looked after several friends’ dogs (shown in photos). I love spending time teaching dogs tricks and training, and just generally being around them. I’m very flexible with availability currently as I am between roles. My next role will be hybrid so it will be great to have a reason to get away from the desk! I’d like to focus on dog-walking or short dog-sitting initially, building up to longer stays once your dog and I have built up trust. A long distance runner (half and full marathons), I’m currently easing back in after injury. I’d love to spend time exploring the neighbourhood and Prospect Park and even building back to jogging/running with your dog if you’d like! I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and love how dogs connect us back to the natural world, getting us away from our screens! For new dogs, I like to give them space to get used to their new surroundings or used to me as a new person in their space. As they relax, I give them a treat or 2 and then build up to playing/giving attention. I would never take on a dog without getting their owner’s advice on any signs to watch out for.

About: Busy professional. Want walks done and done right for a happy dog? Hire me. Good with anxious dogs. DW distance record: 1.2 mi in 30 mins. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and play with their dogs since I was a child. Grew up with terriers, retrievers, shepherds, and a Rottweiler. More recently lived with a poodle. My area is convenient for dog walking and is also easily access by car. As an early morning person, I can get your pet the exercise (s)he needs before it’s too hot and stressful out. Avoid walks during the middle of the day in summer, and protect your pets from heat and cancer. I have a comfortable home where your pet will be safe, and basic supplies. My cat is used to other animals, but mostly keeps to himself.
