Sarah has become part of our family. She's an awesome communicator and is so good with my dog who has anxiety issues among other things. He just loves her, and she makes him feel safe and happy. On her own she introduced him to doggy puzzles which I hadn't thought of.

So appreciative of Leandrea’s availability and willingness to check in on our pups at the last minute! They are always thrilled to see her, and it is comforting as a dog mom to know there is someone I can trust to be with them when I can’t. ❤️

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

Michele took such fabulous care of our babies! They can be shy with new friends, but warmed up to Michele so quickly - especially rare for our reserved calico. Rover cards were detailed and the photos were so cute! Highly recommend if you are seeking someone who will care for your pets like their own.

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jen through Rover. She is a pet lover for sure! She stopped over to meet Blotts, my cat, and we talked about the plan for while I was out of town. She had great questions and made sure she had the answers, and the keys to the house, for the time that I would be away. Blotts is shy at first but warmed up to her fast. I felt good knowing he was being cared for by her. I will be booking with Jen again in the future for business trips and vacations and I would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a private concierge caregiver for the elderly, so compassion, attentiveness, and high-quality care are at the center of everything I do. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just supervised — they’re truly looked after. I don’t lock dogs away or leave them isolated. They stay in a clean, comfortable home environment and are treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive. I offer premium, one-on-one care, daily structure, safe play, and a calm household. Whether it’s boarding or walking, I focus on building trust, offering consistency, and providing the same level of care I give the people I work with every day. Your pet will be loved, respected, and cared for with genuine attention — the way you’d want, and the way they deserve. My lifestyle is perfect for dogs who love consistency, attention, and plenty of breaks. I’m in and out throughout the day, which allows for regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I’m always home every morning and evening, and your pup can expect daily walks as part of our routine. Weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of time for play, exercise, and quality companionship. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked—they’ll be included in the flow of my day and cared for with the same attention I give my own family. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, quiet, privately-owned ranch home with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe play, potty breaks, and fresh-air time. I treat every pet like part of my family, not like a kennel number. Dogs have access to my entire home, including cozy lounging spaces, supervised outdoor time, and a calm, relaxed environment.

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: Hello! (Usually available after 5:30 pm during the week days and free on Fridays) My name is Stephane and I'm a project engineer in environmental science. I have had cats since my childhood, a mother, and a daughter I had the chance to live with for 20 years. Today, I have a cat I got from a refuge, called Juno. He was super shy and introverted due to his sad past but I can see a lot of progress in his behavior. He is some work but seeing him getting more and more free makes me happy. I have also always been with dogs and love to take them on walks and play with them. I took care daily of my roommate's dog (Kenny) in Toronto, taking him regularly on walks and dog parks. I live in North Water Street and can drive to your home to take care of your best friend(s). I'm also an aquarist and can look of your aquatic friends if you need it. I hope to see you soon and your best friend! I always start my day with a hello to Juno :) He usually comes to me claiming food like for having breakfast and we cuddle after. Which is a perfect start for having a good day. I will follow any instructions you give me to keep your pet routine as normal as possible. I will be respectful of your space and will always ensure that everything is closed and safe for your pet. I can send you updates with photos if you need them.

I was quite pleased with Mallory’s performance and professionalism. She followed all verbal and written requests. She showed up timely on designated dates and returned my keys promptly as instructed. I particularly appreciated her interaction with my cats, the photos and her updates. Overall, I consider this first assignment a seamless and successful experience, and I definitely will request Mallory for my future pet care needs.

Caitlyn is an amazing cat sitter! I hired her while I was away for a work trip and she dropped in multiple times a day and medicated one of my cats (who gets several meds throughout the day). On top of that, her updates were phenomenal! She gave me up descriptions of my cats activities that were very consistent with their personalities, so I could tell she was really paying attention to their moods and needs. One of the best cat sitters on here and I would easily hire her again! So flexible to work with, sends amazing photos, and responds quickly.

This is our second time booking with Emily, and we’ve loved her so much that we’ve referred friends to her who confirm the same sentiment: She is just fantastic at what she does. Her experience with young children as an elementary school teacher certainly translates to being phenomenal with furry friends! We were concerned that our shy calico would hide, but she was happily making friends within a few visits. Rover reports were detailed (and so sweet!) each day. Cannot continue recommending Emily enough!
