“Our dog is not easy and not good with people. Amber won her over AND truly cares about our dog. Amber always does the little things to make sure all is good. Good communication and care.”

“Amazing! Would trust her with my pup anytime. Asked questions about what I wanted, walked my pup and tired her out, and even worked on some training and tricks with her. Definitely would recommend her!”

“This was my first time using Rover in my new area, and I am so grateful that Holly was the one taking care of my dogs! Holly was punctual, responsive and really cared about taking care of my animals. She even brought in a package that was delivered which was very nice of her. I would 100% recommend Holly and will requesting her again!”

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.
“Lucille was very good with Dash while we traveled. He looked forward to her visits an shorts walks & belly rubs. I was do glad she could step in on short notices, because our other sitter had to cancel at last minute.”
About: I’ve rescued , raised and taken care of animals since I was 10! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and have yet to find an animal I don’t love! I work part time so i’ve got plenty of time to take care of your pets , belly rubs and fetch and plenty of play time included! No matter where or when your furry friends and their needs will always be priority! Making sure they are safe, fed ,cared for and having a blast!
“My GSD is very picky about who she will let in the yard. Athena LOVED Misty. She came and played with her and sent lots of pictures. I've booked her again.”

“Mandy did a great job taking care of our stressed out pup during our longer-than-usual vacation. It was so nice to be able to leave him home than board him.”

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.
“Katie was awesome! She was extremely communicative and that put me at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies and giving them all the love. She also took the best pictures! Thanks again :)”

“Cheryl was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better person to sit with my baby while being out of town! She gave me daily updates to let me know how my kitty was doing! I would highly recommend Cheryl!! Thanks again!”


About: My name is Brittney. From the age of 3 I grew up on a farm where I cared for all types of animals big and small but have turned it into my 'passion' business for the past 8 years. I was the go-to girl in the neighborhood when someone needed a sitter so my love for animals only grew with each job and each new kiddo I had the privilege of caring for. I have had a couple years of experience working at a vet clinic that gave me a lot of great experience when it comes to several categories from special needs of animals, medication, older dogs, puppies, care for feral and rescue animals. I have such a huge passion for all living creatures and the care that goes into them, I will play, walk with, love and care for your little ones (or not so little ones!) with everything I have as if they were my own :) If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask! Boarding and Doggie Day Care: Good sized fenced yard. Yard can be split into two separate yards. Step on paw activated water fountain. Doggie splash pad. Doggie Pool. Elevated dog beds. Toys. (Cleaned and replaced continuously, or personal toys may be brought) Free range of the house or can have a separate room to themselves. I am a stay-at-home wife who dedicates my time to the passion of caring and loving my own and others sweet furr babies. I have a very flexible schedule. I strive to leave your babies happier than when they arrived! I have a good sized fenced in yard that can be spilt into two separate yards. I have a calm but spunky Maltese and a very playful Aussies for extra fun playtime! Furr babies are free to roam the house, but I have a separate room if they need some downtime away from other dogs. Whether its group or individual playtime in or outside or just snuggles we can do it all and I'm here to make it happen and have a blast together!
About: I have a year of vet tech school. I have volunteered for the Humane Society in the surgical department as well as been a foster parent to pets in need of special care. I know pet CPR and have Pet first aid. I have cared for all types of pets, dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, a gecko, some lizards, and horses. I will feed and water, potty them , play with them and walk them. I have lots of toys and games to play with your pet ! I will also pick up mail, paper, and water plants and yard !! References available upon request !! When you have to go away, let me come and stay, and I will help your pet pass the time away!!
About: I previously have walked, water, and fed my nanny family's dog. Its a large retriever/Collie mix dog. I have also done drop in dog visits for a labrador retriever and med sized mixed dog, along with dog boarding for a small minature pincher, greyhounds, and a retriever. I enjoy animals and your pets will be treated as family members at my house. While I have no kids of my own, I am a foster parent so kids of all ages do come and go. I also sometimes host guests through airbnb, however no smoking is allowed in the house by anyone. My family used to own a small black dog that I helped walk and care for. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to working with you and your pets!
“We are so happy to have found this platform, and grateful for having met Karlee. Our experience was great, Karlee was kind and friendly and our doggies took to her almost immediately, everything was great, very pleased!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Mostly dogs and cats but I’ve been around other animals as well such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, chickens, ducks, hamsters, and mice. I have two pets of my own currently as well. I work full time from Monday to Friday from 8-5 so I am only available after 5pm those days. During the weekend I am able to care for your pets throughout the day. I go above and beyond and make sure I care for pets accordingly and make sure to get all the detailed information from the owner to make sure I give the best care to the animal.
About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!

Alayna was very attentive to my 3 shy cats, they quickly bonded with her while I was gone for over a week. Alayna shared detailed updates and photos, and took care of all their needs and would reach out for any questions. I will definitely book her again on future trips!
