House Sitting in Riverdale

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and have two of my own. Looking for opportunities to help others care for their animals as I have benefitted from this service in the past. I’m available on weekends to help with check ins, dog walking, or overnight stays. I’m happy to come to your home if it is more convenient for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a downstairs area for dogs to play. Also, two kiddos who love animals and always enjoy making new animal friends.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and volunteered at the humane society- I have also had dogs and cats for 17 years of my life! Currently, I have purposely left my schedule completely open for pet care during the week. I am available day or night, 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog in my home. I am very good at reading dog body language and knowing their limits while caring for them.

About: I spent all day at home to take care my cat. Feed, wash their hair every week, and some time take them go outside to hangout I'm a student. I have a plenty of time to play with cat. I go to school from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Sometime I learn at home I have a friendly cat at my home. She is very friendly and maybe shy a litte bit. I can stop by at your home to take care of your pets.

“Kyelene was so wonderful with all our animals and the responsibilities of our entire household. She was Beth attentive and communicated with me regularly. I hope to have her back at our house for our next adventure. Thank you, Kyelene!!”

“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”

“Jon was great with our pets. he sent regular updates and photos. We look forward to working with him again.”

About: I’m exceptional in training puppies, cats and dogs. If necessary I can discipline although I prefer positive encouragement towards good behaviour with rewards. I love teaching commands using an animals favourite treat or a clicker, whichever is more effective. When it comes to older animals it’s critical for me to be aware of and understand their history. Dietary restrictions, sleeping/eating habits, medication and application processes, etc. I love all animals but ultimately will treat them as family with the love and support they each deserve. I’m currently working as a part time Youth Director at a local church so I have plenty of time throughout my days to play with and care for your furrr babies. My main goal currently is to fill in the gaps of my day to day with joy and happiness that only pets can bring. We all need something to look forward too to make life enjoyable and for me right now that’s figuring out how to play with as many animals as possible to make sure they’re all loved while you’re away. Our home has as expansive enclosed back yard for dogs to run around in and play or simply take a potty break. Our living room and kitchen area are great open places for cats to explore and the basement is very clean and comfortable as well. Although, I prefer to go to a cats home instead because as you know being a cat owner most cats dislike change of environments or any change in general for that matter. When it comes to walks I like to take as many precautions as viable. Dog parks are available and accessible more so during the day. There are plenty of nearby parks in my neighbourhood as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I’m open to any suggestions for locations or preferred methods of transportation as some animals dislike car rides so a simple walk around the block would suffice. I take any and all advice seriously when it comes to the attention and care of your animal.

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

“Cale was very attentive to my cat Moose and went above and beyond to care for him. Sent me good pictures and updates, I highly recommend Cale for all your pet service needs!”

About: Hi! I am Laine. I am an aspiring Personal Trainer with a lifelong love for animals and a high-energy approach to pet care. Growing up in a home that was always welcoming new pets, I became comfortable around all types of personalities and species early on. While I am still building my professional toolkit in the world of formal training, I bring a massive amount of dedication, physical stamina, and a commitment to following your pets specific routines. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity walk to burn off energy or just an attentive companion while you’re away, I’m excited to provide a reliable and active environment for them. I’m currently in school so my schedule is extremely flexible with online classes and I work one day a week! I am early to rise and early to bed! I am extremely vigilant and highly trustworthy. My goal is to treat your home and pet like my own. I'm happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years, and it honestly never feels like “work” — it feels like hanging out with the cutest little personalities on the planet. I’ve looked after energetic pups, shy rescues, seniors who need a slower pace, and everything in between. I understand pet body language, I adapt to their vibe, and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company when they’re missing their humans, I match my energy to what your pet needs. My goal is always the same: keep your pet comfortable, calm, and cared for. Because I’m currently job hunting, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet. That means more availability for drop-ins, flexible scheduling, and longer, more relaxed walks or hangouts if your pet needs extra attention. Your pet will never feel rushed — they get my full time, full presence, and full patience. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority. I take a very intentional, calm approach to care so your pet always feels secure and protected. I pay attention to the details — locked gates, secure leashes, clean water, correct feeding times, and any specific instructions you share. Trust matters, and I work to earn it with both you and your pet.

About: Experienced in walking pets and administering oral meds and insulin shots. Many clients with happy reviews. Care for and love your pets lime mine own.

“Viviana was amazing and very helpful while we were away! She kept in touch and everything was perfect when we arrived back home. I will be booking with her again!”

“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”

About: What sets me apart is my attentiveness and calm, patient approach with animals of all ages. I’m experienced with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra care, gentleness, and routine support. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior changes, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize both their physical comfort and emotional well-being. Due to my abundance of free time at this stage of my life, I have all the time and resources to devote to my passions which include animals. I meticulously follow directions left by pet parents in order to account for not only the pet in my care’s health and well-being, but also their feelings and happiness. I show them the amount of care I would expect my beloved two cats would receive, but we all care for our pets in different ways. Sometimes they have out of the ordinary requests that I am delighted to oblige.

About: My husband and I train field trial dogs, so I have years of experience working with high-drive, well-trained, and sensitive dogs. I’m confident with all skills from training support to medications! I enjoy working with dogs of all types. I offer all Rover services and provide safe, structured, and loving care tailored to your dog’s personality. Your pup will always be treated like family! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I’m used to the morning outings, meal times, play breaks, and all the in-between moments that come with having a pup around. Adding another dog into that flow is easy for me, and they just become part of the normal daily rhythm. Your dog will get the same easygoing, loving care I give my own. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I keep their routine consistent, safe, and comfortable. Dogs get plenty of attention, playtime, and a relaxed environment so they feel right at home wherever they are!

About: I have had pets since I was a young child. I have always been the volunteer to take care of friends and family’s pets whenever they needed care. My family and I do have fur babies of our own and we take training and care seriously. We believe in not only nourishing their bodies, but their minds and spirits as well! Enrichment toys and activities are in abundance. I work from home and have ample time to care for your fur kiddos. We have a large fenced backyard for play, during the summer months we have water activities for the doggos that like to play, if you allow. We play fetch, we have tug toys for the trees, and other outdoor activities with plenty of space for running! While in my care your fur kiddo will be loved and treated like our own. I will be home to tend to their needs, will follow their care plans, and play with them to ensure their time spent in my care is the best! We have a large fenced yard with reinforced bases so they are safe to play to their hearts content!
