About: My name is Mike, and I’ve been caring for dogs for about 15 yrs. Currently I have a 4 year old Doberman whom I play with. Our daily activities include tug of war, fetch, frisbee, and hide n’ seek. We also run a lot since I’m an avid runner. When we’re not playing we’re just lounging, watching TV or a movie. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will treat your dog as I would my own. If I walk your dog, he or she will get the exercise, play and/or attention they need. All walks will be conducted safely and responsibly. I work from home, so I’m available all day and night. I live in the Forest Hills area but willing to travel outside of my neighborhood.
“Nusta took great care of my dogs! I needed my dogs checked on quickly & Nusta was able to promptly do a visit last minute. She even sent cute photos of them & updates. I keep a pee pad out for my smaller dog and she cleaned up after that too.”
About: Hi guys! For first time customers, I offer a $20 PROMO CODE - RONR61182 Having owned and cared for dogs of many kinds since I was ten years old, I feel privileged to have a special connection with animals. . Neighbors, friends and families have counted on me to walk, play, train, and run with their beautiful pets. I offer special care, love and attention the entire time I will spend with your pet! My first dog was a playful sweet German Shepard, and my second, a gorgeous and naughty Cocker Spaniel. I also have experience with cats, bunnies and reptiles! I am an eternal animal enthusiast and have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs. I currently work part time and make my own hours, so I am flexible and can be available 7 days a week. I have a car and can travel if you are located outside of Forest Hills. My speciality is dog walking and dog running. I also offer dog and cat visits in their own habitat and environment. I will ensure they are happy, safe and comfortable.
About: I have taken care of many animals since i was 11. I have taken care of many different dogs from energetic puppy’s to older pit bulls. I also have 2 cats and have cat sit for my friends previously. Also I have a rat so i am aware of how to care for rodents. I have also pet sit for my neighbors bird in the past. I currently am unemployed so i am available 24/7 365, especially during the summer. I like to follow an animals routine so i wake up early for my cats and then follow their routines to a T. I am very experienced with cats and dogs so i make sure to read their body language to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I will ensure when walking to keep an eye on your dog and be sure to avoid glass, hot spots, and anything that can cause harm to your dog.
About: I am a full-time educator looking for some part time work. Im introverted so I spend loads of time at home with the fur babies. On weekdays I will be out from 7am-5pm most days. Weekends will be dependent on scheduled boarding and any pre-scheduled compromises. Pleask ask for accommodations. I have a very gentle, shy 1 year old cat. At home, I have a gate that can try to separate them as much as possible. At a client’s home, that will be dependent on the needs of the owner and animal companion.
“I am very happy with Irene. She was professional, caring, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.”
About: I have plenty of patience tolerance and adaptability and with no pets right now and really miss having a little sweetie around. I have lovingly cared for ill and elderly fur kids. Sober since 1996 so no exposure to smoking, drugs or alcohol in my care. Meditating twice daily for decades and find it also makes for a nice peaceful environment. Fur kids love curling up in my lap for meditation time and it can help regulate their little nervous system too. I mostly work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lap available while in my office. I also walk a few miles a day to avoid my lap getting too big. If you see anything that might be limiting in my profile - feel free to ask and see if I can accommodate or make any exceptions. Im pretty flexible with accommodating fur kids. If they are used to crating to feel safe its not a problem but if crating is not necessary that's fine.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.
“Cristian took good care of my two-year old kitty. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and I felt comfortable leaving him, knowing she was looking in on him.”
“I can’t thank Avalyn enough for the incredible care she provided to my beloved cat, Thomasina. Thomasina is very shy and not quick to trust, and for the first 7 days of my trip, she hid in the closet—nervous, withdrawn, and clearly missing her routine. But Avalyn never once rushed her. She made sure Thomasina had food, fresh water, and a clean litter box nearby, gently checking in on her while giving her the space she needed. Avalyn’s calm, compassionate attitude and genuine love for animals make her a standout cat sitter.”
“Kelsy was great and went above & beyond what she needed to do! Everything was clean & tidy, and she even brought in my mail for me. It’s clear she knows how to take care of cats well because Pluto warmed up to her pretty quickly even though she’s quite shy and scared of strangers normally.”

“My dog Gracie was Howie’s first client and I am so grateful for it after all these years, over 5 (that’s 35 in dog years!) Howie treats her like his own.

South Richmond Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the second time using her services. I hope my feedback will provide her with even more clients. Yasmeen is super sweet, patient and gentle. Sometimes, I checked the pictures, and feedback. Sometimes, I didnt because I knew they were in safe hands! Top tier service and peace of mind while we were away. Of course we will use her again!
Juandiego was considerate, kind, and very familiar with all size dogs! He gave some great offhand advice for our training, and my anxious large dog was immediately comfortable with him for his walk at the meet for the first time. Photos were an added bonus :) Would work with him again any time and highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and knowledgeable dog walker!
